Storm
Storm

The hypnotic rhythm,
Of the falling rain,
It draws me in,
It soothes my pain,

The magnified voice,
Of the booming thunder,
It pierces,
But I won’t be torn asunder,

A misleading flash,
The streaking light,
A defiant stand,
Against the encompassing night,

In the storm,
Where’s my shelter?
Where’s my raincoat?
While I stand alone here?

The unforgiving storm,
The solitary figure,
It hurts yeah it does,
But I’ll be okay, no fear.



Author's Note: It rained the whole day tomorrow. from early in the morning like 4am until 8pm. inspiration enough. comments please?

A Frozen Second
A Frozen Second

Time froze,
Tick,
Frozen pose,
Tock?

A moment?
Untainted,
Time spurned,
Untarnished?

In between,
Yet wandering,
I’m unseen,
Unfazed by time,

Wrapped in mist,
It beckoned,
Love and Dream,
The Frozen Second.



Author's Note: I know it's probably very cryptic. but i'd really like some comments regarding this poem. it's somewhat inspired by the movie Cashback. in the sense that... what i was thinking when i was typing this out on MS Word was of Time being frozen, and yet a person being free of the restriction and discovers his/her Dreams and Love. well, i didn't specify as it could be any number of things for anyone.

Nothing Good
Nothing Good

Just twisted threads,
That’s what I see,
In a series of flings,
We’re all played out silly,

Cut the strings,
Snip them all,
End the dreams,
Stop my fall,

Ain’t giving up,
Just losing this,
Sick of all the closeup,
Nothing good to reminisce.




Author's Note: You catch my drift? I'm looking at life, through a somewhat metaphorical manner. if that makes any sense.

Slip, Trip, and Fall
Slip, Trip, and Fall

Slip, Trip, and Fall,
The swaying of your hips,
I doubt you heard my call,
But then my voice never left my lips,

Slip, Trip, and Fall,
You always leave me stuttering,
Unconsciously you have me enthralled,
I’m pondering about you and I’m aching,

Slip, Trip, and Fall,
We’d never be lovers I know,
Yet my heartbeat slows to a crawl,
As I see you enter I can barely say Hello,

Slip, Trip, and Fall,
I’ll gladly drown in your eyes,
Slip, Trip and Fall,
Such a romantic fool, this Kai.




Author's Note: Nah. I'd never allow myself to slip trip and fall. nonetheless, a tribute to those who do. ahem.

It's All The Same
It's All The Same

My heart’s running empty,
I’m on the floor on my knee,
Will you listen to my plea?
Cause I’m holding on barely,

Will you give a little piece?
Just enough for my release?
Just for that taste of peace?
Before I fall into the abyss…?

It’s a sickening dirty game,
What has my life became?
The psychedelic lusting flame,
In the very end, it’s all the same.




Author's Note: i'm back. with the same somewhat emo-ish tune to my poems. feeling pretty shitty so yeah.

Watching, Listening
Watching, Listening

Sing like you think no one’s listening,
Sad and delicate, loud and out of key,
For you know it tears up your being,
Everywhere you look she’s all you see,

Dance like you think no one’s watching,
Fast and hip, slow and smooth,
For you know it tears up your being,
How else can this aching be soothed?

Scream like you think no one’s listening,
Livid and deafening, bittersweet and tragic,
For you know it tears up your being,
Every time you think of him kissing her cheek,

Cry like you think no one’s watching,
Depressed and mournful, fitful and sporadic,
For you know it tears up your being,
You can take the years but not the days and weeks,

No one is listening, No one is watching,
I cower in the corner, absorbed in my sorrow,
For it really tears up my soul, my being,
As days go by, morrow by morrow.




Author's Note: i'm just hurting terribly.

Russian Roulette
Russian Roulette

We’re sitting in a room playing Russian roulette,
The gun to my head, as I look at my Juliet,
The ashes fall as she taps her cigarette,
That look on her face is something I won’t forget,

We’re sitting in a room playing Russian roulette,
My gun just clicks and she looks so upset,
It’s her turn now and she looks dead set,
She pulls the trigger and blood splashes on the gazette,

We sat in that room and played Russian roulette,
The game that's perhaps life’s biggest bet,
I look at you all dressed up in a georgette,
The ending to this story is something I’ll never regret,




Author's Note: Russian Roulette is perhaps the most life threatening gamble ever, since it involves placing your life at the hands of Lady Luck itself. What you do is, usually a few person would sit around a round table, and they would have a revolver. A standard revolver, doesn't matter how many chambers but usually a few. They insert a single bullet into it, and spins the chamber of the revolver so that no one knows when the bullet will fire. Each participant takes turn putting the gun to their head and pulling the trigger, until one of them actually kills themselves.

ladies and gentlemen, Russian Roulette.

Listen...

Drip,
From my slit wrist,
My life.

Drip,
From my sad eyes,
My dreams.

Flow,
Gone; my life.
Shattered; my dreams.
