I think I am falling
Not down, but in love, but not
The way one falls in love
That you, my love, might be thinking of
I think I am falling
Falling apart
Because to me, love is a matter of heart
But not the heart of a romance, or a wedding day
The heart that breathes life into my veins
And it is this heart that shies away
Because to my love, what can I say?
I love you, but not the way you’ve ever known?
My love is beside you, but my love stands alone?
“I love you” is something I learned how to say
But the words fell down, and my heart sideways
How ever do I make it clear
When my words aren’t the same as the words you’ll hear?
There’s so much you’ll hear, when so little I’ll say:
I love you, I promise, but not that way

A Sun Set Adventurer
I want an adventure
Want to feel the ache of my muscles after sprinting hard
Pain will seem sweet when I feel the wind through my hair and the shake of breath in my lungs;
Though my running will give way to a daily ache
At least, I know, I am still living
On this earth
This expansive and minisucle earth
Hurtling and slowly revolving
Sunsets are old, but the warmth
Of that star permeates my soul with a meager hope
That tomorrow with be new and full
If I close my eyes and float in my imagination
I am that sunset, that sunrise
I want to be a sun
Dancing and spinning throughout the universe
To shine brightly and piercingly
Making others warm from my presence
May I become that light on your cheek
And the invisible ray that makes your heart shine and sparkle
But, I do not know you yet
I may never
Know that I will love you, even if you remain an intangible idea
Like a god ray on a cloudy day
I will still have a soul-deep ache to reach out
And hold your face
As that sun sets on down over this bigger-than-words, smaller-than-understanding world

The dancing in the time.
Where I could never find,
Someone like you
And something as you.
I could kill my legs,
And never could stand.
But I will find you.
I will surely find you.
Oh! My dear.
Will you be someday real.
As my dreams and fears.
Because I need you.
With the turns and torns.
And walking with burns
Never mind, till I find you.
Until I find you.

Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.
— William Faulkner.

If my sins rose as high as mountain
I presume why I'm empty
I chased everything suit my envy
To embellish my desire.
If I strive to reach the path
They said, I'll find my faith
even I'm out of hand
With all the souls I demand
Why expect me to build castle?
My heart is tired of title
If I can only beg to stay
And only watch the day
Indeed, I'm debted
endlessly obliged
To whom I look up to
To whom I worship to
I haven't found the path
They beseech me to stay
Until my peace shattered
Somehow, end up astray
Who would thought
I can learn walking, twice.
It's surely peculiar in their eyes
Perhaps not me.
Maybe one day,
Instead of watching and stand
While my moutain rise as cloud
Eventually, i'll wake up climbing

“your gut instinct is not a liar, those initial feelings exist for a reason, sit on them if you need to, process whether your feelings are valid or just projections, but never dismiss your intuition when the signs are staring you in the face and your nervous system is agreeing.”
