My Lullaby

Tears I let them fall
Just cannot care anymore
So I wait for sleep

PhD

He breathes down my neck and forms the words
His hands reaching around, are cold
He presses in and sinks his teeth, seething
Just give up, give in

Rushing Rushing

Rushing
Faster
Faster
Faster

All of a sudden
It is the ocean

Marshmellow in Hot Chocolate

Daggers flying everywhere
If only I knew how to be a cushion
To inflate between the group of you
And take each spike and tear

Communication Block

Sit and chat no tethered ball
Truth open imagination free
Through aimless talk I knew you all
Beneath the old oak tree

I knew by heart your parents' names
Your numbers worked a rhyme
Never feared of any change
Even wished ahead of time

Now we are at our previous future
Still running just the same
Your birthdays lost inside my head
Behind a studied name

Because someone is hard to find
Talk cheap, all down the streets
The finer ear, the wider eye
For speech is not a sense

A Story

Oh, we were resting on the rooftop, we were laughing
Lying over open books from earlier day
We were singing different colours, seeing new tunes
Tasting the full moon of night

In the fields of daisy, we lay awake
Tracing black ants on their march
Placing sticks and stones in their way
Never wondering, ever knowing the shortness of living

If only I had known we were ending
Rolling over, just like the summer goes away
But the sunlight we remember is still going
Sparkling dancing behind the swing

When we drive away, we keep searching
I am dreaming, you are watching the road ahead
In the morning, we keep reaching for each other
The world still full of wonders for us to play

One Day We'll Explore Tokyo Rain

I stare at the sky that I lie beneath
Not the same as yours
I rest on the grass that is my own
I am alone

I walk to the sea that I can smell
But over the edge I see
I cannot touch the water that I came for
Yet tears fall

Thoughts churn my brain behind my mouth
Refusing to pretend like everyone else
Face each sun with my fear and red
I will lose if it comes again
I tell you, my only friend
My world is between my trembling hands

We scan the neon signs that invite others
Blurring under Tokyo rain
Hold me down, we are lost
Yet not all

Lucifer the Cat

Lucifer is a cat,
Is an angel without love
Is a feline banished out
To march the gates of hell
At every twilight hour, she strolls and sees
All she cannot have, so she sits and feeds

Look at you who can
Simply live without
Logic plays with you
On the courts up in the clouds
At every morning hour, you rise just on time
Every step in pace, every breath and rhyme

Follow me and my heart
Thick blue and weighing down...
Because the race, oh grace, must perpetuate!
But hold that thought - behead it
A full onslaught, a massacre
They say change your dress, send signs today
Why on Earth would I speak to you this way

It is here with my
Body tied to mind
With all the wants
I do not want to find
It is fire, it is ice, it is rain, okay?
It is hot, it is cold, it is pain
