exit already

what's holding on to whom, who's holding on to what, and then there's the wait...

Exit already:

Fail and move on already

Stagnation is at your core

So exit once more

One elongated moment,

Callous with a tight grip,

Has drowned energy in temper

I let it take control

I let it

I hate it

I let it

I blame it…

Cannot take no more

Bring on the last encore

And exit already…

carefully...

inspired by a conversation in my car in the underground parking... (and alela diane)
the relief was momentary i guess... some things remain unsaid...


Carefully:

Carefully, carefully gather your thoughts

A pile up, another losing its ground

Has the dark allowed you out yet?

For the joy of remembering,

Let me hum a song

A wordless lullaby,

Dripping with melancholy…

Have you smiled yet?

Oh something’s gone awry…

Damn the impaired contemplation

Put in a paper bag and blow…

Carefully, carefully regain reason

Sustain the notion of an impediment,

Pick up your humor, mine has gone…

meso meso

Thank you Chan for inspiring this...
I hope what we did was helpful...

Again…

There it goes

Fading in an instant

A feeling sinking

Disappearing

Below dark waters

I reach out my hand

I dip it in

To no avail

I stretch my soul out

But there’s no one to blame…

But myself?

If I complain,

That serendipity has the upper hand

If it echoes back,

That fate is beckoning…

Echoes fade…

Damn the dark waters.

Even my own hell has lost its name

And my colors have lost their shine.

Something has to unwind

Again…

little worm...

Little worm became big

Big worm ate a pig

But the pig refused to melt

So the worm tightened its belt

And gave itself a tummy ache

So it drank water from the lake

The lake water was poisoned and the worm died

And the pig stayed stuck inside

Moral of the story?

Who’s the worm and who’s the pig?… sorry…

don't f*&^ing tell me what to do!

Consider for a moment a motionless sound
A buzz that is painted,
A substitute for a movement
You perceive it, you survive it, you relieve it…
Then,
Consider for a moment a destructive thought
See it happening,
As it embalms your inner cry
Take it in, take it aside, walk away…

Save it for a rainy day I say

where did that come from?

August in Geneva:

Dance and I’ll I chant
Following you, leading you
Amongst wild feathers
And cool gusts on my back

Dance and I’ll sing
Songs whistled and clapped
Between my lips and your hands
Reminiscing a bliss of some kind

Dance and I’ll cry
And discreetly wipe my tears
As children run and scare
Pigeons cooing around us

Dance and I’ll sigh
Sheltered under giant trees
Once the clouds move away
I’ll let the sun shade your face…

reworks

after an hour getting silly with instruments, props and our minds...
i reworked an old poem
thank you CAGS core :)


Drum, drum, drum in my head
Think, think, think instead
Loosen my collar, wipe my sweat
Throw my colors
Till there’s none left

I’ll be a beat I’ll be a din
And if I have no cause
I’ll extract it from under my skin

Build build build the flow
Sweet is the taste of the wind
For I will fly
Beyond the glow
I will fly
I’ll be flying within…
