where does a train run

A train runs in the backyard but the
wooden fences are still leaning from
the previous generation so the train
kept going on its own tracks

five executive reps stuck their ears to the
ground to locate the incoming sound but
the train sometimes runs above so excuse
New York City if it seems to have lost its way

maybe a train runs through walls so
since the great discovery, the bells have
been a mystery and the rolling rocks have
discovered the purpose within their spirit

but the people collecting tickets are well
accustomed so they will never check the
carpet in their living room even though
in a rush they’ve broken the plastic tracks

built on the dead heat of playtime because
that’s where all of reality makes total sense
the conductor on bruised knees. Who’s also
the engineer, the passenger, the fuel, and the
only one who knows the way.

I Think Of You

I think of you often
I think of how happiness rolls off your lips
like it belongs there
like a tumbleweed freely in the desert

Did you know happiness looks great on you?

I think of you often
I think of the way my name rolls off your tongue
like a bow smoothing a harp
like a peacock’s tail blooming to greet the sun

I think of you often
I think of the way your short build still finds a way
like a stonecrop shattering hard circumstances
like a vine reaching no limits; the rose and the concrete

Did you know the oppressed always rise?

I think of you often
I think of the way your neck elongates
like fingers giving life to a limped dummy
like hands rising in the sanctuary

I think of you often
I think of the way rhythm roll ’round your hips
like chocolate snaking down the fountain
like music that attention always finds

Did you know you’re an addiction good for men?

I think of you often
I think of the way warmth waits in your embrace.
like ocean waves growing, rolling, sinking
like a crying baby calming in a mother’s arm.


Here’s a song:

“Judgment” — “Introspection Resurrection”

An Incredible piece with a wonderful message!

I used to, on occasion, perceive others’ dark as a mendacious mode of false endearments they could put on a performative spectacle to lure passive onlookers like a siren’s song – I see now I see now peoples’ pain I see now how detractors bathe their reality in shame. – I see now the drugs […]

somewhere in someone’s mind,
“you’re not meant to be elevated
you are to estrange yourself from your glory”

but Our Angels make your worth a choir
that sings in the confidence of your smile
a genuine belief of being what is aimed for

so much could be done without You
but it is easier finding courage under a sun
rising upon the face of hopeless solitude, dedication

water in the pot, You are, to the withered spirit
we tell stories about reaching a dream we share
eventually noticing You are the dream we sought

Candle Light

You start a small fire in my heart
I protect it though the awaiting pain
I care for it so it would last through.
love is a candle light in constant motion

I wake up in the morning, small fire is in my heart
Too much movement can attract air. So I remain
As my mind is illuminated by many thoughts of you

if I can’t prevent it from dying,
I’ll convince myself to go to class
Where at 1:50 PM, when over 400 young adults
Are pushing their way out of a lecture hall,
I can make my way to you.
It’s not hard to find a flame in a crowd.
Then you’ll smile: igniting a small fire in my heart


It turns out that this girl was gay. I do wish she had told me that after I gave her this poem though…or at any point during the 3 years after I started talking to her, before I learned that very key information.

Before they Bounded my Mind

Before I could swim,
I walked on water.
I needn’t to float
I missed not a boat.
The waters paved flat;
Held me. Just like that.

Deeds reserved for gods
were always! my habits
I was unveiled to growth and
suddenly! I learned of sand
lived by Land—the way of men.

Before I was prudent,
I hadn’t the need to Survive.
I laughed, Revitalized the universe.
But they told me I am bound to land
And it is my Enemy

Before I could write,
I was the Essence of life’s journey
I traveled without these sheets
It was all there, at my access.
I had a longing for nothing

Now,
I Tread to breathe just a little longer
As I wish I could just Walk on water

Adults in a Playground

The water sprouts with excitement!
I remember the days of my innocence
when cloudy skies were not a metaphor;
an omen to validate pessimist outlooks on life

“Oh! Go play, baby! Mommy will come in a bit”
A leaf falls farther from heaven
reminder of the magic we’ve surrendered
for the repetitive nature of the life we chose;
a machine that doesn’t truly stop moving

Daddy is busy again.
So plant the excitement in the concrete playground
With a distant hope for the blossom of laughter
Although it may be too deep for growth through concrete;
play opportunities, buried by boundaries.

How does a snake know of flying?
How does an eagle know of crawling?
If they’ve spent their entire life among their companions
Discussing philosophy, discovery, with like-minded individuals?

How do we use our minds to improve society if these same minds have dragged society to the rubbles that it currently lays in?


This piece is from a poem that I’m considering releasing as a part of a poetry book. It won’t be released anytime soon, but it’ll happen.

Post-Rainy Day

i woke up
to a post-rainy day
and i complain of the rain
but the birds are happy.

an air contaminated, but with a warm embrace
the smell of calm comfort
to breathe in
in an atmosphere of relief

the rain taps my window with an invitation
but still left its loyalty when i responded in fear.
i curse the wetness of my decaying possessions,
the ground rejoices for the refreshing cleanse

the trees stand bright and green
flowers dance, though dirt on their leaves
i look, i smile
close my eyes, ask myself why

clouds in the sky
inspires my somber thoughts
but the streets are at peace
and a casual stroll becomes therapeutic

a cool descends from heaven;
the sun reveals a new shine of light;
worms find reason to leave the darkness;
the birds decorate outside with a chorus

English Girl

It’s a constant doing:
trying to catch your eyes
so i can demonstrate the smile i’ve been working
on in my mirror every night to impress you
so you’d return a smile that purifies me more
than mine ever deserved your attention.

I’d tell my friends:
i’m not into you…like that
but each time you walk in i race to find
the parts of you imprisoning my attention

Sandals for footwear:
casual; the art of “i don’t care”
everyone competes each other’s looks
catch views with their suffering hooks
but you be you: simple—a natural form

From lazy hair
to the liberty in your steps,
(i know you were not even trying)
the casual black leggings, random sweater
plain face for the world to see, shirt dancing
tango with your body. a beauty disrespectful

So my mind flies
to a future you and i smile to
get lost in…into our bedtime. until I wake up!
run to English class: a race, when you walk in
a wish, that you were mine.


A FEW THINGS:

Thing One: The last time I saw this girl was on the last day of my English class back in University in 2015, but till this day I still regret having been too wimpy chicken to shoot my shot at her (court her/ask her on a date). I didn’t even have the courage to give her this poem!! ::(((( #sadnessandtears

Thing Two: I could’ve sworn I had posted this poem here already at some point in the past, but I searched through my archives and couldn’t find it. If I did post it before, and you had read it in the past, well congrats! You get to read it a second time ::))))) (you’re welcome)

Thing Three: Here’s a poem titled Indie girl, click here. Here is the video for Indie Girl, click here.

Thing Four: Here’s a song I REALLY love called “Polish Girl”, click here.
