A Korean Odyssey inspired poetry
Try all their might to stop me
There’s no path I wouldn’t take
Blazing fire embraces me,
Numbing cold won’t faze me
I will go to where you are,
I will find you
I always do.
*
Soul afloat on eternal space
Memories of stars you once laid for me
Darkness won’t make me feel alone
A part of you is always with me
I’ll be here, waiting,
You will find me
You always do.
the goodbye right after hello..
goodbye right after hello
a crack
expectations and words not kept
second crack
faltered smiles and unconcerned eyes
third crack
letting them in, unhealed;
letting them go, healed
countless cracks within her
countless cracks that filled her
cracks that broke her,
cracks that will transform her
she hopes…
..until the next crack.
sweet little Alice, went down the rabbit hole
Alice, where are you headed?
will you meet with the Cheshire Cat?
you left to have fun at the tea party,
but you stayed stuck while the time slowly ticks
Alice, why are you running? were you trying to hide?
No, Absolem can not help you with his wise words now
lone like the Jabberwock, you could have been friends
but you chose to slay him with your own hands
Alice, your bloodstream’s filled and burning you again,
you’re spiraling back to that same old pattern
eyes are hazy yet they speak with madness
will you answer The Hatter’s riddle soon?
sweet little Alice, went down the rabbit hole,
further and further away you fall.
Wildfire. Fireheart. Light-bringer.
she stood there glowing,
gold ember enveloping her
a sign that the fight within has been won
a fight to regain herself
finally made peace with the demons inside
acceptance of who she was, is and will be
burning eyes filled with calm rage
set to strike the darkness outside.
there’s no way out.
a nightmare that she couldn’t wake up to
a cycle of getting hopeful and losing hope.
in her desperate attempts to get away,
tightening invisible shackles mark her skin.
not letting her go, pulling her in,
she’s trapped in this cageless cage.
Our friendship will be eternal,
Like stars in all the galaxies.
A linked soul,
The Sun to your Moon,
Air to Water; Earth to Fire,
Elements complementing one another.
A colorful thread we chose not to cut,
In time, it will only get stronger.
The comfort that we’ll both be there,
With eyes that hold no judgment.
Alone yet together,
Fate and choices that will lead us there.
You’ll utter the words “It was worth it.”
And I’ll smile because it is.
Our friendship will be eternal,
Like stars in all the galaxies.
Black holes through black holes,
Our bond will pass through dimensions.
Thank you for your friendship.
Amidst all this chaos,
In between the cries and the laughs,
I am grateful to call you my friend.
Happy Birthday to one of my soulmates, my ‘best friend’ (I guess? kekeke),
my kambal, I’m here to stay, you can’t get rid of me.
nothing.
On and off, On and Off.
These lights that made her blink.
Spiraling thoughts of where to go,
Getting lost on paths she chose.
“Would I get there?” she asks herself,
Her mind starting to go blank.
Fixing her gaze up on the cloudy night sky,
Musing; “Ah, I hope it rains today.”
there’s nothing to see here.
