Octopus & Hey Mates

Title: "Octopus"

Where do I go

When my heart’s crying of hurts

Trapped in vines I planted with beautiful flowers that it showed me

Pondering on the happiest things I could have prevented

Cos happiest breaks me most immense

I am the flower and my bee, we are doing great

But the flower's at south, and the bee's at north

Flower'd be thinking and crying worrying

Spoiling its beauty and functions

Sorry the flower is me

When the right thing to do is to favor the perfect presence and the kind partner

But if tomorrow and longer than that, I know the sails are likely to be torn

Wouldn’t I have chosen not to sail?

Or just go as far as I could and replace when they're torn

With new ones..

That’d be easy

If only hearts are the same as those sails

A vague future which I don’t know where we’ll stop

Two different homes we are

I want to try my best

Because I’ve started to love you

But my heart cries to know what could and could not happen

If leaving, it could

If staying, it could not

My soul will be belittled into the dark stagnant well

Stuck inside decaying into mud

A lost life like an octopus after giving birth

If we’ll be gone like octopuses that have loved

Maybe at least it's been true we made a remarkable gift

Memories of joy and true love that’d stay

Supports and smiles we replenished each other

Under the other side of our phone screens

In our rooms

Outside your balcony

Under the moon

Whom you shared me the purest joy with

"I will pick the moon for you"

Sweetest ever for me

Your love for me, I cherish

Let’s smile gladly at each other

If we'd be not forever

It matters we have loved each other

And I love you

I wish to the wind, the clouds, the moon, the river that we'd meet in the right time

The impossible soon

But possible future, days and years I'd wait for sure

But it hurts too much that it breaks my heart, we're apart..

The thought of not wanting to lose you and If I will lose you..

Hits my heart with sorrow and eyes reflecting of the evening-lit water body in motion

Suffering and sacrifice are part of the journey

I won't give up

Title: "Hey mates"

The wondering clouds and the blue sky

Asked each other, "I see you everywhere, but I can't ever feel or touch you"

The sun and the solar system

The lonely Sun said to itself, "Why am I alone in the world? Where are the others?"

The solar system pitied the Sun and thought, "You shine that bright and are consumed in your own light and so far away you cannot see or hear us." Earth heard and prayed the Sun knows about it one day and said, "You aren't what you think so of yourself, my Savior".

The road and my hometown

Hey tall and low flourished greens and yellows smiling along the road, should you make my ride so warm but so lonely. I was dreaming of my hometown, and I miss the rice fields and the provinces I crossed to reach you and the bustling lives of strangers passing by the bus's window whose hearts if hurting, tired, struggling, or guilty I wouldn't know

The wetlands and the steaming hot city

Traces of the past existed at the brink of disappearance

The beauty of the ruined lands

Dry, heat, crowded, smoke, wind, trees and houses, electric wires, untidy grass, bare dirt besides the paved roads, the rough road, motorbikes, bikes, cars, banners and development, the vendors, the dusty trucks, the food shop, the town's market, the confusing traffic, the yellow-building school and uniformed students, the sellers, the workers, the rickshaws

The suburbs, the houses and small home business, the pagoda, the long road, yellow soil and swirling dust, the wind brushing off faces, the grasslands, the canal, the lotus pond, the water spinach, the fine water hyacinths, the dry soil, the lost trees, the fishers, the confusing settlers

The city spoke, "I was once greener and with you all over me."

The wetlands replied, "Thank, you remember me. If most people did too, I'll be joyful all my life giving people the happiness and protection and also to the birds, fish, plants, trees, and all beings their home to flourish and become beauty and benefits for all."
