In one evening
You’ve inspired me to try harder
And made me feel like giving up
All in one swift punch
Your creative brilliance
And passion to perform
Made me envy your talents
And I am stuck in limbo between
Inspiration and utter defeat
Your shear intensity
Boiled the room
And everyone was sweating
From the heat of your breath
Pounding down our ears
Shattering our emotional brick walls
Bursting [...]

Regret, how strange thou art
You are like a constantly stinging rash
Worse with each remembrance
You can tear people to shreds
Yet if I am perceptive
I see how vital the actions behind the regret are
In making up the fabric of my current being
So much so, that regret turns to wisdom
And how can you regret gaining wisdom
And so regret [...]

Your story
Reads like ancient hieroglyphics
Translated into eleven different languages
Five of which no one speaks anymore
To this day you are a mystery to me
Each year
Small discovers reveal more of your enigmatic life
Bits and pieces of your puzzle
Combined with my budding maturity
Help me understand the gears that make you tick
And the more I know
The more I understand
And [...]

To give up “career” and “intellectualism”?
A silent surrendering of [...]

Here, a few haiku’s
Ancient feudal beauty rests
Between syllables
ichi:
Singing melodies
The silent sound of sleeping
Both are sweet to me
ni:
The lonely lizard lies
Baking on the white pavement
Till the day he dies
san:
Love is like a seed
Which blossoms only after
It dies in darkness

Some people think that a good job
A nice house
A clean car
A beautiful wife
and a safe neighborhood
Are all that you need in life
Yeah
And some people are miserable
I can not say that I have reached the top
And therefore have a clear view of what it is like
I can not say that I know for sure that security [...]

Looking forward only makes me dizzy
Looking back I feel nostalgic
Looking here and now I begin to see
How stale this place has become to me
I don’t want to live in the future
On the past I cannot dwell
Nor do I want to stay in this place
It’s beginning to feel like hell
Where you’re forced to push a boulder
Up [...]
