I am not a poet
Just trapped in love
Maybe this trap
made me one
I don't know

I never asked to
write these lines,
But you
You made me

So read them
Find yourself
between the verses
And become
my poet now
DNA
And if all words
aren't enough to describe
how much I love you.
I'd use my blood as an ink to this pen.
For you to know,
that even if I have nothing to write.
The poetry written
within me,
is you.

It's not a net—
it’s the compassion
of knowing
when to let
the question
go—
like a kite
too wise
for wind.

Wasil
Vigorously shaken
until every leaf is riven,
spinning through
the force of a typhoon;
whirling beneath the moon,
and you might glimpse
a novel sight,
hidden within the night.

There are bones in the wood;
cracking, groaning, shattering.
The skeleton of what could
Have
            Been

There are bones in the wood;
whistling, wailing, whispering.
The skeleton is not pure—not good
It
            Still
                        Has
           ­                         Flesh

I wish we never met
Even if fate led us there.
I wish we never talked
Even if the words came easy.
I wish we let silence win
Even if the conversation pulled us in.
I wish we never saw the signs
Even if they glowed so bright.
I wish we never felt that spark
Even if it burned so right.

But everything happened
And still, I wish I could turn back time
Even if I would never know you at all.

Don’t ask me
Because I don’t know
Which way the tree leans
When the wind blows

My polo, pants
they are beige
I am dying of this age
Tryna earn below
minimum wage

Scattered blood
wiped off by black ink
covered in beige
