What I'd tell you
If I could tell you one thing,
It wouldn't be one thing.
I don't know if it's the pain or the madness
That makes me say so.
I wish I could let you hear
The uproar beating against my chest.
Wish I could let you stroll my mind
Or live my life.
You'd be amazed
Or appalled maybe.
You'd ask me how do you do it?
But you know what they say:
A life like this
Either makes or breaks you.
Maybe I'm someone deranged
In his lonely soliloquy,
Walking the edge of sanity.
Or am I some Hamlet faking madness?
Shot by the arrows of fortune,
Yet not fallen!
Honestly, who even knows.
Do you really want to know?
That one thing I'd tell you,
Which isn't really just one thing?

Christmas '20
Now that the winter
Has entered my hearth,
I long for you,
Like I long for spring
Against the barren white.
Moments frozen into icicles,
The air: biting, chilling yet empty.
I long to hark a Robin's call
Across some meadow, on someone's fence.
Inside, my Christmas tree lies
With head bowed down in humility.
Unadorned, no gift lies at its bottom.
I'm sorry my love for this year,
My pockets are empty, and my body's frail.
You can't expect much, other than
Cringing, complaining and rueful whining.
But thankfully, you're not here anymore!
Sometime before the world changed,
You made your way, you've always had your way.
I, your whiny lover, one who has nothing to love with but love itself, was left behind.
So this year, there's no hope, no ho ho ho!
Just a modest tree, and then there's me,
Squatting by its base,taking stock of things.
What is it anyway? Christmas? Or
Day 50 of lockdown 2? -

The more I see people,
The more I don't wanna see people. -

If you're pretty, they'll doubt your intelligence.
If you're smart, they'll judge your looks.
If you don't talk, then you're 'weird'.
If you talk too much, they'll question your character. -

"There's no romance in reality."
But my reality is love.
Is not there romance in love? -

Remember good times never teach one a thing of worth.
Tough times make one who they become.

They're wandering through valleys, peaks, lakes, gardens and sunsets.
And I'm wandering through pits, falls, voids, hell and darkness.
It's okay, I guess I'm learning more. -
Scribblings
There are walls between us:
Walls amongst ourselves,
Walls filled with cracks,
Walls where hopes still bloom.
And mine are scrawled all over:
Illegible, unintelligible.
I scribble on your wall now.
Mine are long overdone. -
When I was a kid: L M N O P
Today's kids: LMAO -
People were..well.. being people.
I hurt my own feelings,
That's a different thing. -
Broken screen and broken heart.
Perfectly in sync.
