Wrong Time

8:47 PM


We met at the wrong time
Such an irony, isn't it?
Where we could have been together 
But the time doesn't allow us to unite
in this moment.

Maybe, one day years from now
We will meet again 
In a coffee shop
or 
In somewhere far away place
We could not expect
And maybe,
We could give it another chance.

I.The Circus Show

2:13 PM



"I remember when you first noticed me.
 We were in the circus show
 We barely know each other yet you came to me
 Wrote me a note said that I have the nicest smile that you have ever seen."

I think that was the time where both of us made our first conversation.
I've seen you quite sometimes in that place, seems like you already became the regular audience in my circus show.
I've been wondering why a person like you would come to a place where all the freaks get together.
That was all the beginning, the time where everything is not as complicated as now.

You might all wonder who's this stranger so please let me begin this story by describing him first and how I feel about him.

When his eyes met mine for that small second, I got lost.
I got lost in his deep gaze.
He had the type of eyes that could hold the ocean.
So deep, that I could drown myself and be the part of the riptide.

When he gave me that quirky smile of him, it's so radiant.
He wore the sunshine like a halo all over him.
He brightened up my day
and made me crave the warmth which spills out of his lips when he smiled.

I barely see he laughed, he was simply a mystery.
His emotions were too.
You couldn't figure him out how hard you try.
It's almost like he was the moon, there's always a part of him that hidden away.

He was so indecipherable.
No matter how much you tried to understand the complexity in him
and the enigma of his actions
you never succeed.
I, myself, forever float in his infinity abyss unknowing of what I am about to face next.
But I couldn't deny that I liked it, a lot.

The day he came to the circus show, somehow he took the center attention.
People inside the show have been intrigued by the question of "Who is he?" and so do I.

I saw him walking right through me.
He was in an armor with pride.
His sword forged from a steel called misery.
Time after time he fought,
It looks like demons, monster, and creatures has been conquered by him.

That's what all I see in him when he came. Then, I asked him, "Who are you, such a stranger come to this place where happiness and laughter are the masks of despair that everyone uses."

It took a while for him to answer my question. He just stare at me deeply and said, "I am the Knight."

Rest Well, Dear

9:15 AM






Rest your exhausted mind on my shoulders.
Rest your heavy world in my arms.
Let me be the one to keep it.
For I will bear it all for you.
Smile for me, dear
Take off all the burden in your body.
Be rest assured, love
For you will always have me.

Please, hold on.

1:09 AM


He's standing in the corner of the room
Wearing that black jacket made of gloom
Always thinking that his life is full of doom
Wondering what if he ends it at the gun room?

Not far from where he stands, there's a girl
Who's looking at him behind those books 
Always thinking that he makes her life full of light
Hoping that she can see him every day,

"Please, hold a little bit longer," She said.

Sorrow

5:15 AM


Because you are yellow
You taste like marshmallow
Yesterday we made a vow
But we can't go for tomorrow
Because I am a sorrow
