Night/mare

-

 

I chase the drowning sun,
screaming,
Why do you run away from me?
Have I not praised you enough?  
Where do you set off to
leaving me stranded 
in this ineluctable pit of darkness
that you call the night?

Is it a daily reminder 
of who I am? 
Of what my interior looks like? 
A broken heart
and its shattered pieces. 
Like the crescent moon
and its adjacent stars.

Perhaps it is you
crying for help.
Showing me
your other side.
Telling me 
we are the same.

What else could it be?
The night is nothing more than 
a shadow
of your never-ending light.
The moon can never be 
as radiant as you.
It needs you 
to stay alive
as much as I need you
to feel alive.

So stay.
I need your light.
I need you. 
I'll sing songs for you.
The night is a nightmare,
far beyond repair.

Stay 
and we'll shine together
so bright
that time bows before us
for infinity to come.

    The cry for light as the shadows of darkness lengthen. A good one.

    Some nights are more heartier than the days. Some shadows beautiful than the glowing lights.

    The song of a broken heart? There's anguish in the lines.

    Interestingly, this reminded me of horror movies - how the darkness usually signals the beginning of nefarious activities. The pain is quite evident in the lines.

Oyasumi Punpun

Manga review Long, lonely lanes are all I see while I walk home to Punpun. I open the manga, flip the pages, see familiar faces stare into my soul. The air is stiffening, oh, so is my heart, as Punpun lies in his tub pondering over existence. Had I been the mangaka, I'd've colored him blue. He'd be soaring heights without the aid of the sky. I fell asleep trying to connect the stars of a constellation that he loves. I heard him whisper, "What's the point?" Or was it the echo of my own screams? How I wish he was real. I'd have a twin. Everyone would. 'cause Punpun is me. Punpun is you. Punpun is every single one of us in our rawest forms. Oyasumi, Punpun.   Oyasumi Punpun  is a manga written and illustrated by Inio Asano covering themes like depression, loneliness, and the absurdity of life.

  Sweeping my head to find the best memory only to fail miserably and realize that you dwell in my heart. Mef my F.R.I.E.N.D from forever-land   Funky with  a bright brain that loves the rain and a soul that leans to the moon spreading the same light on a dark day. A solid storyteller who only speaks the language of love and types tales  of kindness into who knows how many minds... Apologies and arigatos for your willingness to be McQueen  when my dramatic self goes on a Mater track or to be Kageyama when my inner Hinata acts up. May every flower dance with you while you make sakuras bloom for me and I sing these lines.

Cocoon

-
Micro poetry  I envy my future self that will rise  from the ashes  of a past torched by  the spark  of vindication I ignited inside me. As of now,  I am content being in this cocoon  of grey, black  and white that I created for me. Both of which keeps me away from my present self that befriends lies and contempt to survive.
