Unwilling and regretting
was it right
to keep lies
hold onto dreams
to realize promises
commit to reality
burn down walls
build many bridges
look at sceneries
forge many bonds
write about memories
especially ones beautiful
and then shatter
throw them away
forget, break, ignore
close your eyes
it's just you
and the world
that never existed.

Random Leaf #752

Longingly faded grass
steps of foot
crushed under dreams
pressured to unfulfillment
realize your lie
keep the promises
laugh at mistakes
skip a beat
flutter and shatter
you will decide.
It was never
fight or flight,
actually it was,
smile or die.

Twilight sleeping moon
dawning lucid sun
fighting losing spirit
look at ghosts

dancing pale moonlight
heavy clouds forming
wound unclosing hour
gladly fighting fire
yawning, hoping, wasting
was it right?
no one else
has to kneel.

My memories becoming more fragmented and the name and stories I got to fall in love with became words then letters. They don't make any sense much once I forgotten who they were, right?

Random Leaf #743

It just have to end, right? Be it happy or sad. If I get more invested beyond the wall I erected, it will really hurt. I just know it. I don't really care what happens to them. All I need is to hear what comes after. The rest may just as well become memory, right? Anymore than that, I might come to regret it. Me, searching for what comes beyond. Me, searching for the happiness they deserve. Me, searching them for myself.

They might be elsewhere where I live in. They need to hear what I want to tell them, what I need to tell them. They somehow become a part of me. They, in a brief moment, became me.

The princess that needed to be save. The lost prince that needed guidance. The frail cat that needed just one more push to find that leftover food in the last bin she failed to search because she gave up or she failed to notice it. The fairy who kept on wishing for a hero who cared only for the princess. That sidekick who got hit so hard that be him and his heroine had a fall out. The kid who's in the brink of going over thr edge. The little girl that couldn't find her teddy that was on her bed all along.

They're all me.

You've become so accustomed to the cliche and routine aches that you've steeled your heart to things that once would easily break you. It doesn't mean you got a cold heart. It doesn't mean you can no longer feel. You feel it still, right? 

That mellow skip in your heartbeat but you have no emotion to show nor tears to shed, it is there. Your heart is beating. It's calling out to you not with words but with something that you're very familiar with. But you can't just show it to anyone, right?

Or perhaps you haven't gotten used to it. You're not the only one, please remember that. There are those that don't want to get hurt and so they don't get hurt easily. But they are all the more fragile. But it beats. Their heart beats louder and they can feel it, hear it more pronounced and clear. They are not proud but they put it as a facade. But who knows, maybe they take it as a pride that they don't get hurt much. But, I think they'd get hurt just the same.

Whatever that is, once you feel the butterflies and the fairies tagging on. You know you have to do something. Be it you break or let courage take you to higher place. Or simply make something out of it. Passion too is born out of love.

"The author is dead," said the king who ran forever in a desert wasteland. "There won't be anything more than where we are now. This desert will remain endless.

"Please, save him!" She wasn't giving us order. She asked us. A girl who was ever afraid in her entire life of ghost and demons, bursts out and calls us to save you. We never asked for any reward in exchange. We did it because she asked us. Take courage! It's what gave that girl the chance to be heard.

It wasn't cold water that caught her fall nor were it solid ground. She opened her eyes and the first thing she noticed were falling feathers. An angel was carrying her.

The childhood dreams you let die and killed, for whatever reason there are, does it not haunt you?

You maybe a hero now and all but what of your dreams of living what else you may wanted to be? A baker perhaps or even a renown chef. Or maybe a musician, your favorite instrument was the piano, right? Unfortunately, you couldn't learn it. So you settled trying to learn the guitar. But even that was too much for you. Maybe if you went to someone you know how and asked. But you didn't. Were you afraid even though your favorite word is courage.

What about becoming a preacher? Or your dream of becoming a soldier? Last time I recall, you wanted to become a teacher. What happened? You aspired to be a lawyer last time, right? What happened? 

You wanted many things but you the world required you to be a hero. You became but what have you become?

Those scars you have, those aren't just symbols of what you've been through. Those are symbols of what didn't you become. Are you happy? You can be proud but are you happy?

They raised their sword against their king. The one in command stepped forward.

"What is the meaning of this?" the king asked.

"We care about you too, my liege. You've done everything for us and nothing for yourself. Please, we want you to be happy as well," the advisor said.

"You meant to do it like this?" the king asked.

"You've taught us to be harsh when it needs be. And right niw, we know as pathetic and worthless of us, this is how we will proceed."

The king laughed but he couldn't held his tear. The advisor noticed and the other's as well. They lowered their weapons.

"My king! Lord!" said one and another.

"If this is prank you ployed I know it means well, but badly executed," the king smiled. He wiped the tears with his mantle and looked at his vassals. "I understand," as soon he said it, he threw away his crowned and crashed towards the stained glass window.

It's when the hero realizes what he is not but still tries to be. He is not a hero simply because he is courageous, he knows it full well. He is a hero that is why he is courageous.

The master threw a knife to his student. And as if reflex and instict caught.

"At the ready!"

On the master's command the student raised his sword and pointed it at his master. But he was too late to realize his mentor's chest followed suit.

It was all too fast. The student was too late to get grasp what just happened. His mentor was stabbed through his chest and he was the one holding the knife.

"Congratulations," the master whispered. The master gasped for air as blood spewed out of his throat and barely managed to let out a smire of blood out of his mouth.

The show must go on, a part of me said. I'm going to cry, said my heart. It was both funny and disppointing, in tears, I made a very cheerful dance to an awful one.

I know every steps and rhythm of the beat. All my flawless movement was in sync with the music calling out to me. But I was crying the whole time.

My face were like those who wore ugly mask, crying and deject of any emotion but sadness. Tears flow as well my breathing. But nothinf can be said about the elegance of my sway. I know the dance through and through, my heart and my very being, spoke to it once and I know all and everything about it, just for that moment though. Save for the fact that I am sad.

As my heart overflows, opposite of what my soul is filled. I am crying to a happy melody.

I know everyone was laughing at me, I know my mentors were mad at me. But I don't care. I am my heart. I am my soul. I am fool of I could not hear them both.

You rather be happy and free

you frown upon salvation
and smile by your enemy's sword?

and only a pair would equal to another.

One just get lost on testimonies

The truth embelished the gaze of steel
that lurks silently but dances gently as

as fragrance and odor does adore.

Comes next the glasses unshattered
And unbroken
lying wait upon the touch of the master
holding a pitcher.

Then on the prarie the fiery mouths
of craters crafted by hundreds hand perfected.
Drunk and burning, what comes after
but a taste of a certain cinder.

But perhaps the master does move so
does the plate almost always too full
of himself and others
from here to there

is cooking.

And the wine turned sour
His breath heavily smelled
of bitterness and nausea.

when the land loves him so.

The grapes of his childhood lingered
in his memories completely hidden
his smile was there,
he is certain.

He is a god but among else
a drunkard, a farm, maybe a poet
but most of drunk.

Cupid missed a shot

It could never have been better
as the archer tries once more

The fire in ones heart changes. From one the passionately burns intensely to one that the intensely burn passionately. Time could tell the difference.

Random Leaf #639

And those who accepts are once fools themselves.

Random Leaf #638

And comes a day when lies become truth. The promises of the fool is now grand and comparable to the king's ambitions.

Random Leaf #637

Children with their childish desire does wis selfish dreams opposite to their guardians who themselves have their own selfish desire.

Days unnumbered are named so too bodies unnumbered have names.

Random Leaf #635

Unacquiant to the lingering memory angels to fly beneath the tides.
The graze gently the warring moon as silently and carefully as do expecting mothers with their womb.

Random Leaf #634

They dance and swerve along the many lies yet ahead
and cold too were they as the halloween marks another year.
the blossoming leaf sparks fall and land
as the stagnant grievance of foreign mother
fall to the ground and with grave and shallow moat
so does too tears go.

Random Leaf #632

The ambiance of a bustling street, from vendors ever trying so hard to meet quota, to mothers wary of their children's dinner later, to barkers looking for passengers going to elsewhere, all of this can be immensely quiet in one's peaceful mind.

Random Leaf #631

The aching grows silence as dreams becomes clearer.

Random Leaf #630

Calluses on sole and palm. Dirtied hands. Sweated arm and forehead. The sun stood and with its rays gave an ovation.

Random Leaf #629

But what is there more to realize but the the dreams we once had. The ones when we still shone bright and innocence is a title we hated we bear.

Random Leaf #628

The untrodden paths speaks fully to the eyes of the onlookers. The weight of wanderlust falls heavily to the explorers unable to tread more than what their souls are tied to.

Random Leaf #627

The unfound sunken treasures lingers still beneath the memories of the tide.

Random Leaf #626

One day, when you feel like crying. I'll be there in your memories.

Random Leaf #625

I couldn't save you. And I cannot feel anything. No sadness nor tears to offer you.

Random Leaf #624

At least you I wanted to see well by the end of all of this.

Random Leaf #623

I'm unaware of when it happened.uch like the ocean tide waving. It started in the front, followed by the row next and the next. Until finally the last. Their heads are bowed and waiting for what I will say.

Random Leaf #622

"And if I say, I will lead you to hell. Would still follow?"

I am certain, somewhere in the bottom of your heart, you definitely and sincerely want to save them. But I am sure that isn't the only thing.

Random Leaf #618

I actually never left. The trees just decided to grow greener, and I who never wanted to move, just got swallowed by the lush evergreen.

Random Leaf #617

It is strange that there are times I feel I am not of this place even though I've been here over many times hence. It is if I was never here before but I am definite that I already am.

Random Leaf #616

If so you choose death, be it one you choose how.

And the wings on his back never grew to fly. It was there to wear against the sun.

Random Leaf #611

The cape he wore was never one to make him fly. He always knew he could never.

Random Leaf #610

Fear the fire and not oneself, does it not sound too proud even for just a dirt?

Random Leaf #609

Have you forgiven yourself?

Random Leaf #608

What did it taste like anyway? Mortality? Death? Knowledge? Betrayal? Corruption? Salvation? The truth? A lie?

Random Leaf #607

Same as the angel that guards the garden. Was it a sword on his hand or was it really an angel?

Random Leaf #606

One cannot merely be saved withour saving oneself.

Random Leaf #605

Rejoice! This too is a lie as well the many lies ahead.

Random Leaf #604

Tears are there to cleanse away the impurities. Sadness is just it's unlocking mechanism.

Random Leaf #603

Who else would save the hero but another hero. He cannot save his own.

You are free.

Random Leaf #599

The shackles of chains and promises kept him from the freedom he desired and deserved. He is choking on his own. And death won't take him.

Unaware, the noose slips and fails to carry him elsewhere.

A sheet of paper as well a sheet of blanket is all a child need to comfily fall asleep. A voice to must exists. Who else would read the poetry?

A sheet of paper,
a sheet of blanket—

Oh! But let’s not forget—
a voice must be there, too.
Who else would read the poem?

There can only be one feather per flight that falls. The rest that did became stories.

Random Leaf #594

On the horizon beyond events and contemporaries, our dreams lie.

Random Leaf #593

Souls too get shatter as bricks of ice turns cold and just float away. Even ghosts once felt warmth.

Random Leaf #592

Beneath the sky ate nothing but leaves that sways on the rustle of the winds and sings on both the moonlight and the sunlit. It never happens at the same time.

Random Leaf #591

Hold on to lies, fill it enough faith until it becomes real. That's how promises are made.

Random Leaf #590

The cracks slowly creeps. Starting from the side, straight to the floor then the ceiling. They can be eyes sore. But time decides on the few what must reminds them.

Random Leaf #589

I have lied a thousand times and yet ones that just gets remembered are those sins I did to myself.

Random Leaf #588

Rolling it's tip as mark leaves upon leaves. The sight beholds the view. Memorizing and in love. It was a love letter. Destined never be opened.

Random Leaf #587

Unsung, unrequited, unhappyily rejoicing. He was in love and still is. Reject but never to himself.

Random Leaf #586

The sole of a shoe unshown but almost on its own filled the entire dance floor.

Random Leaf #585

The unrequited looked for a different promise to keep. One that is as simple and even still, one way or another, connected to her.

Random Leaf #584

Pebbles rolling. Grass dancing. Wind singing. A little girl in love.

Random Leaf #583

The guide looks through path trodden map, worn out and torn from a side and another. He has more to teach and more words to let reach the other side. But his yawn directs him a nearby shade.

Random Leaf #582

The waves bits through the sail and the undertow climbs on the mast. The sailor just sleep in his bunk, on his bed and in his mind.

Random Leaf #581

A smoke in his hand and not a haze on his mind. He chokes on refreshing night sky clouds as his dreams carries the moon away.

Random Leaf #580

Without you, this world, with everything in it, is empty.

They will guide you. The fairies and forest spirit will always do. You just have to listen to their whispers. Look for their signs. And beware of their lies.

Random Leaf #573

Always look for the bright side. You don't have look happy or sad about it. As long as you know where you are, you will never be lost.

Random Leaf #572

I'm happy for her, he lied over and over again. Unknown to him the growing rift that suddenly appeared somewhere beneath his chest.

Random Leaf #571

Read between the lies and look beyond the lines. Secrets are everywhere. Just a matter of whether your heart could take it?

Random Leaf #570

Look! Tears! It's on your cheeks. Is it not yours?

Random Leaf #569

Store it somewhere safe, maybe somewhere you'll completely forget about. It would do you wonder if you just pile it all up in a mess, that way, not a single one, holds any meaningful value.
