As I Stared Outside

Well, I've stayed inside,
Just to keep myself alive
This tetris game,
I've played everyday
with my mental blocks
And at the end,
As I stared outside
A plastic bag flew out of the blue
How fun
It took everything
For some of us whose longing for a touch,
From my window I found peace
As I contemplate the shape of clouds
Oh that's a dark giant
Will he frown and wail?
See that kaiju float around
As an angel passes by
Won't she catch me when I fall?
As my light goes dimmer
How her wonders shine on me, bright
As I stared outside

"Life is easier when you are numb"
So they said
They might not know this beautiful taste
Chew it slow now
Inhale this aroma
Feel the burst of flavors
Seeping through my body
As the steam fills the void
I prayed this warmth will last
Say it loud
Speak with words of grace
Light leaks shines upon my plate
Reflecting you who always chose serenity
Chew it slow
Smile, savor this very moment
Feel the burst of flavours
Eat and be undefeated
As the steam fills the void
I prayed this warmth will last
Say it loud
Speak with words of grace
As the time has finally come
Blessed be this last bite
A spoonful of the best
Oblivious from all mess
For just a little while
I'll be present with my peace

Teal and Orange Bus
03:31

Just a small 15mins walk
to meet those teal and orange bus
Packed like the insides of my fridge,
Always managed to find space for solitude
Normal sudden brakes
Communal balancing feat
Such grip strength exercise
To spring my ardor back to life
Kindly give a seat to every elders and
all the pregnant ladies
Enjoy some speed blurs with glitchy playlist as I warped from A to B
And anyhow,
Is that the pisces from the tales?
A sneeze induced by this freezing cold
It looks like a taurus after all
And near the end,
Still can't piece it in my heart
A fire for another 10
As I relish on the moments
Within the teal and orange bus

Let's cheer to the fact that you'll
Find a way to transmute things to gold
And it doesn't matter, how slow you've read the depths of every incantations
Your love for your craft, shines so pure
Though at times, clasped your hands too tight to false gods, in search of something
That's been all around you,
Every love you need sufficed
It doesn't matter where you fall
Be at ease, your kindness will surely pulls warm hearts
Yeah, it's all around you
Every love you need sufficed
It doesn't matter where you go
Be at ease, your little circles of trust will always find their ways to you
Remember the time, when you're still constrained inside that concrete glasshouse.
Where your confidence is clouded with pernicious gas and that light you sought has blind
Your eyes, sparked so bright now
Laser focused on your craft
Though, you're hurt, body and soul
Time and time again, we'll let you know
That's been all around you,
Every love you need sufficed
It doesn't matter where you fall
Be at ease, your kindness will surely pulls warm hearts
Yeah, it's all around you
Every love you need sufficed
It doesn't matter where you go
Be at ease, your little circles of trust will always find their ways to you
Let's cheer to the fact, you'll find many ways to flourish in your life
And it doesn't matter, how slow you'll find the rhythm of your life
