The more we know, the more we don't know.
We want to be immortal, but pleasures we seek are transient.
To live, die in living, but donate your organs when you really die.

Everything rewinds
...but where exactly is the rewind button?
In the belly of a whale, called Pinocchio.

To October
An unexpected happening
A beautiful event
A rainy cold evening
A family reunion

The honorable lady
She lost herself
In the precise language
She won everyone
By the precise language
She chose to live her life
For the precise language
And that's all that matters?

Resolution
We all fall down in the end of all stories
Because life is a transaction
slower than a kiss but faster-
than

I can argue. I can swear. I can fight.
I can lose when you lose.
I can not win unless you win.

Forest Date
I was exhausted today. The few hours I slept last night was on the uncomfortable chair. I finally finished the assignment and took off early to take a bit of nap before 7pm. The sleep felt so good. I woke up by the rings of the phone which I didn't answer because it was already 7:05pm! It's so strange when someone else who has no idea what's happening at 7pm calls you up for no particular reason on their side but serves as a great help on a plane they wouldn't know on my side. Anyways, I wore my white warm coat, lit up a cigarette, and head out of house. No one was home, I guess they had left when I was sleeping. I apologized for being 10minutes late. I hope you forgave me alright because I didn't hear an answer. The strong smell of the cigarette and the bitter after taste brought my senses fully back. Walking journey to the forest was pleasant in the bearable coldness, below the grey sky, and above the fresh decolouring fall leaves. I held his hands in my pocket and walked. It was specially quiet and if it wasn't for the warm hands, I would have felt all alone. You slowed down the walk, and I suddenly realized how fast I was going. I like slow walks better as well, on days like this, but I never told you that, as if you already knew. A few droplets of tears formed in the corner of my eyes, making the front road blurry. I thought the tears can not be of sadness, they are of there because of presence, here, with you. Why are we here? What happened? What brought us here? Was it a child play? I feel the presence though, and it is breath-taking. Thanks for holding my hands. I smiled and you smiled, and I felt assured. We walked in silence on the beautiful road towards the forest. I suddenly thought of him. Maybe you read my mind, because you noticed it, and asked me what I was thinking of. I stared into his eyes in my heart, and graciously smiled by saying thank you. Do you feel offended? No, you said, as long as you tell me everything. I then held your hands stronger and said to myself, enough of this memory game, be here, and I was. I was fully there with you after. I asked you to look at the trees instead of me. They were just as pretty, if not prettier. In silence, we got to the forest. It was dark and there was no one there. I was scared to stay too long. I hugged you and listened to your heart beat. Beautiful. breath-takingly beautiful. Thanks for being here with me. Above our heads, there was a tree, yellowing in the face of season, except a few of the red leaves. I picked one to bring back home. You will get it soon. On the way back, I saw Bobby, this white little cute dog. I said hi to him and he panted back in extreme excitement, for seeing a familiar face, who knows his name. He kept jumping up and down on my legs, and not go with his owner. We played until he was tired and I left. On my way back, I thought of tomorrow and the remaining tasks. My mind was not the same as before. I am now calm and sleepy. I thank you for your time and presence. Kisses.

the focus of my balance slips on the shifting sands.

It is crucial that I write right now
I can't write right right now
when words are behind the clouds
of my intoxicated mind
and my tongue is burried
six feet under the soaked ground
where worms dip deeper than time
I shall write right
when my eyes turn clear
to bask in the warming sun

Eye hosting
Sleep knocks
Behind the shadow of my dreams
When I open the old wooden doors
It tip-toes back to the other side of the full moon.

Green living
With great pleasure,
I declare
to have wasted a vote.
Thank you ladies,
and gentlemen,
I have inherited the genes for ruining
Destroying proteins run naturally
in my blood.
Rebel without a cause,
Cause without a rebel.

Pathology of a failure
Interesting.
Very interesting.
Except for the stares of that ugly guy, I am deliberately not being nice.
________________________
You know what the pathology of a failure is? love-hate duality. Find a balance. How many times should I tell you that?
_______________________
I reflected again. Full balance is possible as long as you live in a den and don't come out of it.
Is that what you say to convince yourself of some things and not others?
No, it's something that happens in my mind sometimes when I practice democracy.
I wanted you to hear.
Who, me?
No, silly.
I am happy now. The little things that make me happy!
I also crack myself up.

Silence of song birds
They are under the breath-taking pressure of extinction. Birds are not only in the sky, they are graciously mentioned in culture, literature, poems, and other works of art. They have inspired technologists and engineers as models. Crucial for habitat maintenance, huge burden on their shoulders for food chain. Why extinction? Insecticides, pesticides, agriculture intensification, habitat loss. The concern isn't for birds, but humans just as equally. Isn't it time we cared more for the environment and were less disillusioned for believing in unlimited resources? Let's go Green.

i am living a life lacking self-stability for i am not the center of the universe, but instead tilted to a region that describes who i am. fortunately the world is a teeter toter and for a split second, self-stability is a possibility.

To Israel
No one
-with little exaggeration-
passes planet earth
without hearing a Beatles song.
Get some McCartney
As opposed to life.

Falling sky in fall is falling
smell of fresh drying leaves
dressed up for my salad
giving into the green grass
red orange juice of their lives
filled time with -beauty knows no limits-
smell of dried fresh leaves.

When I am blue
When I am blue
Sky's not blue
The moon is painted
-Blue-
When I am the moon
I wish to be the sun
So if I decided not to shine
I couldn't

So if I decided not to shine

She hung over the cliff edge,
Unintelligibly over the unbridgeable abyss-
Of nightmares.

Sacrilegious
Butterflies get sacrificed
For the sake of art
Because humans are too real
To be sacrificed.

If I am sometimes intractable
It doesn't mean that I am not tractable.
If I am sometimes silent
It doesn't mean that I am not talkative.
If I am sometimes nosy
It doesn't mean that I care.
If I am sometimes unemotional
It doesn't mean that I have no heart.
If you push the red botton
I will push the purple botton.
If you pass the green light
I will stop and ask why.

Ecstasy doesn't fit in my left ventricle
The right side is too weak to hold antiparticle
I try to wrap my head around the incommunicable
With the soft tissue of my tendons accessible
The spongy bone gets in the way of untouchable
Then you are left with a religion unwarrantable
