We don't waste time in speech,
We do bleed in touch, angels of love..
And it is tough to know how much
Life spends your worth to live on.
Something seems to be found in loss.. we never know.
-t.f.s.
Will is not broken
Even through darkness
Through hallways of death,
Through rage and pain,
Sickness in vain ,
It is easier to open a door
rather than unleash fears.

SUCCESS
Sometimes,
Success is not getting
what you can,
but giving up
what you have

A Gogyoshi Poem (5)
Photo: J P Lee
I hear your pain
so eloquently told
Let me lay down a nest for your broken heart
A soft place where shadows of lost souls
weave wads of thoughts into unique fabrics
that swaddle inner children
with the joy of poetry
...
Joy-the-poet
Let the oceans wash away my guilt,
to the one that I rely on,
the one I felt so deep on,
this hand as my guidance,
this spirit as my home,
I feel them for once and last of all..
In a moment
silence broke
all the wishes,
it broke a path,
a stone of dreams,
hopes that lie on
my garden of peace.
Feels like terrible wedding
Where my heart's not invited
And eyes see nothing..
Toasts on barely lasting love,
groans of pleasure, in devor,
the day ends in defeat,
silence just fell asleep.
Everything visible
faded out of me.
-t.f.s.
May Lord Apollon reach you even in the darkest of times, and help guide you back to his sunlight
In a liftetime
I'll be the night
surrounding you
drowning you
in magical sleep.
Tomorrow is
a new day line,
and i'll be close
as if it's the last
breath I'd take,
but when I am
a reason for you,
keep breathing-
time's with us.
-t.f.s.
He, who wants to fight
and be frightened,
he, who wants to become
someone, followed by the sun
erased from mortality
and forgiven,
time has come,
may he gather all the light,
all the fire, the passion
that drag him all the way up
and behind that sadness
may he break the pressure
to find natural peace as treasure.

Me facing my problems
After april's windy session
darkness vanished and sun came
rain stopped and flowers drew
each corner making beautiful view.

To be prepared of burning
It is stressful and scary
But aside all of that
No one blames me.

Loving is your sense of touch,
Soft and gentle- just the way you look.
Your empire is my work of art,
Outstanding , my home is your eyes-
Searching for a spot invisible for others,
A smile so warm greeting me.
Tiny little fingers crossed my heart,
For a second, fire burned within me-
Voice like a thousand deities singing
Waiting to be reached for assurance ,
Looking for that comfort you gave ,
A sweet music that echoes beneath.
-t.f.s.
You don’t know anything about God, do you…? Perfection and harmony? God cares more about your pores than he does that. He’s famous for his coincidences and absurdism. I’ve seen it countless times. No matter how masterfully you devise your schemes, where we are is here. A prison at the ends of the earth. The ones that run the world are, in fact, the ones who howl, run, and shed blood in incidental storms. You and I are powerless in the face of their intense spirits. Do you know what that means…? You’re correct. Humans are sinful and foolish. But they aren’t quite as boring as you think.

Come true//
I tell you I hate the indoors
And you cage me in a room
I say I crave the sky
But you only let me out at night
I tell you how much I hate rituals
And you tell me to follow each by heart
I don't like conventional
Yet you are anything but radical
Each thing you do
Is either dictated
Preplanned or decided for you
My free will dies, eachtime I look at you
I try to walk paths I think will run parallel to yours
We never intersect and somehow that never bothered you
I tell you I don't believe in destinies
Yet we are destined to be doomed
I thought I could fight depression
But the biggest weight holding me from living is you
I say I would like to add flowers to the garden
You say you're out of time
So precious time that only counts for you
None for my pursuits
I can only breath borrowed air
I can only wear forgotten bruises
You say you love me
I don't think it is true
Love doesn't mean to be conformed
To your likings
It doesn't mean to put everyone else's happiness except ourselves
It doesn't mean nothing changes in your life
And I have to sacrifice
Everything till my time is due
In this lie of love I wait
Patiently for my reel to end
Make the final appearance
Let the curtains fall
Once and for all
And this pretend play
Ends at a high note
They will say
Oh they loved eachother so
It's true
But that's a thing about
Pathological liars
They make you believe
In happy endings
That never came true
You say your name is heavy
Like an anchor that sinks into the ocean bed?
Like a warm wool coat that shields from the icy wind?
Like honey’s viscosity or cream’s thickness?
Like a suitcase full of first-edition brilliance?
You shake your head: No. Heavy, like…
a sack of drenched grains.
I laugh. Your self-deprecation
is the height of ludicrousness
You smile, tucking
the curls behind my ear;
What comes to mind
when you think of my name?
My turn to smile;
your name stretches my lips
as easily as a lily bursting open in bloom
Your name is the collection
of gossamer threads wrapped
around my brain
the comfort of cashmere
the light of an incandescent
glittering reflections of sun on water
the billowing of a scarf
in the soothing zephyr
keeping my attention
in apt rapture
Like a marble I roll between my fingers
your name is the ball set rolling
down the lane angled to strike down
every single pin of my stoicism
" I'd balance your body
Like holding a guitar,
And I'd gently play on strings
Just like I gently caress your skin. "
-t.f.s.
" Summer is a miracle-
We share the same sun
And sleep under same moon
In a lifetime that we dreamed for. "
-t.f.s.
Ticklish words ,
like small touch
lays around your neck .
Holding breaths ,
let warmth join in
to let feelings slide in .
-t.f.s.
" Love means searching for your comfort zone such as your skin, your hair, your voice, your hand. It means so much just like warmth has come down on greeting the earth. "

I'd never quit on what's called passion,
but my heart and mind dedicated to
this manifestation are faded, almost beaten
death's invitation knocks me down, eaten
from my thoughts that's far away home..
What's dead is already lost,
it comes before I gave my source,
no matter how tired my existence
my heart is beating still,
my mind have chosen to stay awake
and see what is real.
