the metamorphosis of the oblivious

 

Every pages in every human's story has a stop. A stop to the next bridge, next day and the next page. My page was usually unwritten, because my soul flew so long for me to be able to write again. In his world, he saw me as a phantom who is hating my own shadow. I chased other's so that I could forget. I startled whenever I had those dreams about me waking up from another. Probably, that's just how my pages is written. Full with dreams but very awakening.


In the awakening, I shattered so many times. I didn't want to be this person, I hated this body. Why I was sent here and why I wasn't there. Question leads to another, I felt so torn just to answer the ghost in me. I thought the world has it answer, that's why I am still here standing on this earth. One day a killer dragon in my dream blew its final shot and the flames chased away my fears. Fear of being wronged, especially.


My paranoia morphed without a single glitch. Nobody knew since nobody asked.  I hated confrontation and pity, I still do till these days. From a small fragment of hope, it grows to a beautiful and a promising wings, illuminating my eyes just like the strap on my wrist. Who was I to know, a small wings could be teaming up with a dragon just to fight the ghost in my dreams.


That was something that I will never understand. You knew before I even have the will to speak. You heal me before I could drop a tear. The road for my phantom was paved long before I knew how to dream again. The pages of my guilt was erased before it was even written. The prized was earned but there was never a game. In the end, you still let me win.

untold tale


from here, its a long way home

the folding breeze for a moment, is no longer the same

far from where i know, 

‘graceful’ doesnt belong to the rain

and cold, thats the only particles in my bones



tell myself how life is a fading dark, 

but only listen to a few

show me where to go, i hate this place, i hate the views

crawling on my knees in a hope of day

theres no one that can make me stay



the remaining love has shred like the skin of old

yes i am falling, just like the universe told

with the grip of my arms, i asked out loud

was i for a moment or was i the hopeful cloud?



if only for a second, could i see the other side

lead me to the path with my broken faith

there’s no telling what i’ll find when you were underneath

over every subtle memory that you beat

this could be my last breath.



lonely paths that cross


I was there before you

and you was there before me

in dark roads and breeze that mellow

we parted ways before we even meet 



for years of numbness 

i don’t believe in blooming souls

for tears of bitterness 

u light up my days like the hopeful moon 



we were living in different horizons

separated by thoughts and what-if’s 

its the wondering of you

and pondering of me 

in a search of something that has some meaning

screaming in silence from the abyss

In the pit of the dark, the one wolf howling for supremacy. The breeze was so mellow, it vibrates the sounds into a frightening echoes. My awakeness is nocturnal like that, so excited for the visibility of the moon, yet so scared that its gonna end so soon. I once addicted to the pain of my gut, I made decisions that I know gonna hurt me. Before I found the ending, before the pain strikes, you cure it right away with your curse and affliction. I spent days for prayers and nights plotting revenge just for you to stop the hatred with a word called kindness. 


Even though at first, I thought love and kindness are so medieval, people and animals are no longer wait the blood to be served, they hunt and sacrifice. You changed those beliefs and rose from your own grave that you dig with your own hands after same kind of mine betrayed you. You weren't bleeding, you were torn to the core. Woke up from a faded memory, developed a parallel beliefs and emerged them into a smaller fraction. You wore wolf skin and convinced me that you understood.


When the sun rise and the warmth embracing our skin, I forgot about the hands that involve in burying the corpse. I forgot about the howl I made only for the echoes to reach your heart, it turns into a memory which I once thought a dream, had me confused between deja vu and imagination. Where was you when the lightning struck me? What was I when you see me screaming to the moon? Why, in so many sense of questions, i choose to ask 'why me'? Aren't you scared of past wounds anymore? Aren't you scared running from a creature like me? Aren't you tired of hunting a revengeful witch? We have been scarred before, then why are we here again at the circle of pain?


When I thought the will be question after question, you showered me with wisdom full of answers. Some nights where I feel the content of life went too deep. As if you dive into the pit of my mind just by starring into my eyes. I wanna kill the curse in me, but you tamed it with your thunderbolts. Every bit of past me was swallowed by the galaxy of your honesty, let it drown in universe of future, made me think about nothing but the future of me. And you. 


Been questioning 'what are you', 'why did you left me alone for so many years', yes I did that, it annoys me that it grows regret in you. There are things that I shouldn't say or wouldn't do but that's not the case with you. I fought pack of wolves but never return home with any of them. For some reason I remain alone and sadly lonely. Not until you tell me about your world, how you met people who made you doubt, questioning your worth and shut down the brightness in you. When I read about the blood that flows when you want to end your world, your faith crumbled like unsteady graves and when you woke up from ashes like nobody would. I hate that I wasn't there.


The rain and storms did change me. The obsession for the moon is no longer in my gut. I am no longer enthralled by the day I can be who I don't want to. My alter ego disappeared in the flood. Now and then, it made me thinking how you can change my move of pawn into a striving knight in one blink of that lake of eyes. There was nothing there, but there is a sacred lotus inside them once you made a glance towards me. It is my reflection that creates a halo in you. I was one a mystical creatures which were purely symbolic to your life, that I didn't know about until you offer me a closer look at your particular fears, desires and values.
