EXILE
I lie on my cot out in the balcony, late night cool breeze lulling me to sleep;
The super-blood-flower moon glows in its effervescent crimson hue.
A rather vivid dream ensues from the deep.
A thousand years in exile.
I see you, I talk to you
Yet, never can I come near you.
Your charm and grace melted my frosty cold heart,
Only for this barrier to swerve the flow away from you.
This screen though transparent would always be there, for a millenium or so.
Have I cursed myself?
Which of us is caged?
Or are we both shackled by past fears?
This fear strengthens this impediment;
We know it, yet we're anxious to strike it down.
How cruel is this?
To be so near yet so far,
Neither absolute sadness nor utter delight.
How am I to handle this?
To look away would only disquieten the longingness;
My vision is blurred,
Nothing can I see except the screen that separates us.
What grand design could this be?
Or just misfortune that I yearn for someone never meant for me?
Why does it feel so hollow?
The void, consuming me from within.
Knowing parts of you but restricted from the whole, breaks my heart;
Eventhough I have something, I'd rather have never known you.
Having a little piece but never able to have it whole,
Drains me, weakens me, exhausts me.
Not death nor sorrow,
Neither life nor joy,
Just this bit of hope and longing to continue,
In my thousand year exile!
A sudden jolt wakens me.
The moon is restored to it's bright white glow,
The eclipse is over, the mind goes blank;
The breeze withers slowly as clouds follow,
Ushering in a light drizzle, pitter-pattering onto the wooden plank.

You never know with whom you red string of fate is connected to.
They may be right in front of you for your whole life, but you fail to recognize them, until the right moment.
It just takes a moment to fall in love, but a lifetime to maintain it.
"I told you, you can't escape me baby. Your fate has been entangled with me since that day."
Kim Yoona was shocked by the words uttered by Lee Jihun. He sounded so controlling and cold. He wasn't like this before. But after that day, everything changed between them.
This is my second novel. I've just written a chapter, but I need reviews and suggestions.

You came unto me, like the moonlight,
somehow turned to slowly mean life itself,
while these lines kept coming to me everyday,
we'd awakened without us knowing
Are you my sunlight or rain?
My shelter or the cold breeze,
My petals or my leaf,
Or the nectar of my dreams?
Are you my night or day?
My pair or my pillar,
Come unto me as the colours of my rainbow!

ONE FINE DAY...
So what's the point.
Eventually it's all gonna end.
Ultimately it's gonna be over.
If not today, maybe tomorrow.
In a year?
Two year?
Ten years?
Fifty years?
Nobody lives for 100 years anymore.
So all we do here is just a series of planning, preparing, hoping and dreaming of a tomorrow which may or may not come.
And blinding throwing wishes in the air that tomorrow will come.
And it may or may not come.
Eventually one day it will stop coming.
All those empty promises of tomorrow.
And one fine day…
We all cease to exist.
Until that day all we do is waste our today in the hopes of tomorrows.

"What's better than a warm bath---" Chen Xixi stopped dead in her tracks when she noticed a man lying on her bed, with his head on his palm.
"Welcome back baby~" Jiang Sheng purred in a deep voice. "The fu*k you doing here?" Chen Xixi was so angry that she could faint. "Chill darling. I'm here to surprise you. Don't you like it?"
"Yeah I loved it. Let me return the favor." Xixi pounced at Jiang Sheng and locked him in a choke hold.
"How many times I have told you to get lost?"
"Let go you stupid girl. You'll leave marks on my beautiful neck" Chen Xixi wasn't able to hold him for a long time though.
"Crazy woman! Are you that jealous of my appearance?." Sheng was checking in the mirror if his neck had any marks.
"Hah! Stop spouting nonsense and get your dumbass out of my room. You contaminated my bed with your germs. Ewww"
"I'm doing my job ok? I was instructed to surprise my 'fan' who stays in this hostel room. It was from a VVVIP investor of my recent drama. Heavens must hate me that you're my fan."
"Your fan? You've finally lost it. I'll gladly kiss a pig then to see your face one more time. Who told you I'm your fan?"
"Your family."
'What the actual heck!'
You're welcome to join this hate-love relationship journey of Chen Xixi and Jiang Sheng, will they find together a cure called LOVE?
This is the synopsis of my novel. If anyone is interested to read it, DM me for the link.

A gush of breath
A space and time continuum,
Where visions are disproportionate.
Blown out of order,
In a vision only called perspective.
Irregularities in the face,
Slipping ground under the feet.
Words that keep you afloat,
Sensations that make me come alive.
A drip on the surface
Or under the surface,
All but a part of one.
Learning to breathe the suffocating air,
Will never be the same as actually breathing.
Learning to just be,
Will never be the same as being alive.
A constant to and fro motion that pulls me apart at the seems,
Is the way of being alive
And if we are ever all alive?

You may not always have a comfortable life. And you will not always be able to solve all the world’s problems all at once. But don’t ever underestimate the impact you can have, because history has shown us that courage can be contagious, and hope can take on a life of its own.

She had new red shoes and egyptian eyes;
and my heart.
She liked poems & chocolates & surprises;
and my smile.
She wore a blouse that matched her shoes and eyes;
and she . . . was married

EAVESDROPPING
The banal, midnight architecture of this
high-rise building suddenly enlivened by
the inspired sounds of crashing saucers
followed by the raised, accusative tone
of a man in rage, matched sharply by a
feminine voice, quivering & high-pitched,
in turn, the machine gun of their mouths
firing everywhere and nowhere, invisible
blood splattered across the living room
walls; after about ten minutes, a low hush
descends upon the floor, and one hears
only the occasional screech of an elevator
ferrying the late-night home comers up and
down the apartment, like a weaving loom
shuttle, even as the wounded couple curl up
to their separate beds, tossing and turning
uneasily, each unsure, whether to regard
all of this as a proof of love or its absence.

When i saw you for first time you were looking like an angle of night. i was standing there drinking my tea that you don't even like. I still remember your beautiful eye's big smile and you lips telling me to not even try. watching you go back with your friends was so hard so i told myself let's just try. My hands were shivering my mind was high when i ask you can i talk to you for a while just want to let you know that while was enough because that day you replied.

"I am the one
Beyond this planet beyond the sun
Reasonable with my every turn"
- With arrogance A father commanding his son.
Delicate with heart, Quiet easily hurt
Not showing the pain, just striving to gain
Son nodded - Thought his Father's word rain Knowledge
The one beyond this planet
Beyond the sun, accepted by his son
Continues again -"Your trembling your fears,
It ruins my name".
Since then
Been 20 years that fear those tears made him a monster that can't be tamed.
