what's truth to you
when you teach me fear
that intrudes me to my very unconscious mind
and there emerges the obedience of my robotic body
what's love to you
when you get both my hands bound
and my mouth gagged
and you pretend to speak on my behalf

when despair culminates
i scream out the silence

As early rays raise the morning warmth
and birds twitter in a gallant choir
Don't contain every particle of hope
'cause look!
It's leaking and bursting into excitement

Home have I come
Rustling leaves greet me intimately
as drops of peace pour down on me
so I'm drenched in the intimacy
For whatever worst possibility it may become
I'm celebrating my liberty.

(from a very old journal, written when I got a crush on someone ^^)

Do you realize how I blush every time your eyes stare at mine?
Suddenly I'm a drop of morning dew that looks firm but is apparently much too brittle when you touch.
The dew only wishes to linger by the shrub until the scorching sun evaporates it.
It holds on in such a precious temporariness.
Maybe within the range of very little possibility, it'll pour down as rain
and let the roots of the shrub absorb the unspoken.
