my independent views…

I’m not really political in any way, I’m apolitical. But I’ve recently noticed that I might have some tendencies that are considered conservative, Independent, and liberal. And so I’m not really a leftist or a rightist. Maybe I’m a centrist, a moderate. I prefer the label “political Independent,” or just unaffiliated.  I tend to think…

prose poem c:

Refuge, wings What would happen if we stopped seeing shapes and patterns, visions and imagery? These are our lifeblood. What if music, art, and poetry stop existing? And what happens to friendship and love when it’s questioned too much? I’m full of love, loving; and we’re lovely, love’s devotion. | How are we here? And…

prose poem c:

we are enough Our hands and hearts form a circle, a singing chorus, and a bright rhythm. When the patterns and laws faded, we found hope in the chaos. We found hope in the colors; jet black, blue-black, something like charcoal or ink or glossy black paint; deep brown, like the bark of a tree;…

poem :3

protection in your form; a shield  Love liberated me. The best thing you can be is liberated from the evils of the world. Let me sit in the shade of your shadow. I want to take refuge in your silhouette. The sun overhead always has a lot to give; heat, warmth, light, intense energy. It…

prose poem :3

A cabinet, a bookshelf, an alter My wooden bookshelf in my bedroom was once a cabinet of sorts in the kitchen; it’s where my mom used to store onions and potatoes. I removed it from the kitchen, cleaned it off, and now it’s in my bedroom where I use it to store books, notebooks, and…

prose poem c:

I have access to a wealth of imprints in my mind I have a sentimental memory that I half-retained; it’s a memory I can’t fully formulate. Happy memories keep me alive! But is it healthy to keep looking back? Should I look around me and in me, instead? Should I be aware of my future…

prose poem

Ode to my new academic program I feel I’m right back where I started. Studying psychology is a completion of the picture. The picture was blurry and its corners were faded. Now it’s like a crystal, a sentimental piece of jewelry, or a Polaroid with the image indiscernible, yet romantic and full of feeling and…

poem c:

These final hours  Before we go,  can I ask you about your past life? I don’t know what the future will bring, but the past can tell me a lot about the gloss on green houseplants,  and why they bring me a strange feeling  of manufactured joy—a happiness  that has been produced for me. It’s…

poem :3 :3

I am strong, God is my strength  I’m not sure why negative things happen. I know that words have the power to heal. Words, music, time, and the human hand and touch. Yellow tulips, custard, and all thing yellowy, must never be forgotten or left out. Nor abandoned, hidden. I’m not who I used to…
