Detachment

I wish I could be like you
who falls in and out of love so easily.
Sometimes I envy
the way you turn off and on
your emotions.
Like you turn off and on
a power switch.
Cy03.11.07

How could you hold my heart in your hand?

I watch the darkness
creeps quietly into the night.
Now the empty hall
echoes in reverberating silence.
And coldness settles
comfortably into the room -
filling all corners
with suffocating sadness.
I waited in stillness...
Like the many times that
I swallowed my anticipation.
And I wonder more
How could you hold
my heart in your hand
and not know it?

Paglisan

How swiftly the afternoon fades
to give way
to dusk and twilight.

Like the farewell of the night
as darkness and light meet
at each explosive dawn.

And the passing of one's existence
with the realization of
how precious it is.
