I. The Vine

the vine is birth and death,

is what is born

the vine conquered my oak, disabled me

the vine is one’s decay, drained all of me

all i wanted to let me die

the flaw in love fraught with sorrows

curious sadness

despair at what we lose

turned me into feeble

i’m not strong enough to stop breathing

lethargic in dramatic ending

crushing me without holding me

crack my bones, desiccate my body

until there's nothing left to feed

your distant calls

buried rage beneath my feet

34 years forging

the pain in which i have settled in

with the remnant of yours

as i traced along the path

enlightened with the lights you emit

II. To the Deaf Serenity

you're blinded in frame, unseen

no time for pity

thirst of morning sun burns my throat

everyone is here but i can't see

can i blame you for loneliness

foggy road leads me to shunts

to the deaf serenity

i’ve become numb

i’m losing senses,

yet we're lovers

send my breath as moonlit arch of teared dust

the faith without believers and language that no one speaks

contain the ocean

with your mouth open wide

dissolve into seabed

with perfect curve of farewell

ploughing into waves of riled ocean

life’s not possible to breathe easy

stole my apathy and turned it bleak

out of the wreck, you, will relapse
