selective suffering to be haunted or to be hollow which poison to choose? the pain of presence or the pain of absence which suffering do I desire most? i can’t tell if this warmth is sustaining me or burning me to have you or lose you i know naught of which it will have to be this dying on my tongue, a language i’m no longer fluent in but still know how to read how terrible it is… to become spring means accepting the risk of winter how can we learn to forgive ourselves? for the things we did not become, but had to become, and perhaps will never become i guess no matter the road taken, it will be glorious it will be unbearable for every road is lonely, yet every road is holy the only error is not walking forth Concluding Thoughts I have several poems that have been sitting in my notes app for months now, even though I've been wanting to share them. So, for those of you subscribed to the blog, you've probably been getting inundated with emails over the last day or two with updates that I've posted… Sorry for the spam, lol. The reason I haven't posted any of these poems is because I was concerned that the person who I wrote these poems about would read them, but honestly, I just don't care anymore. I'm allowed to share and post my art to my personal blog. And if you-know-who is reading this… Hi, I guess? This poem in particular was buried deep within another poem that was written more like an emotional brain dump. I think I deleted about 90% of the poem, reduced it down to this, and while it sucked to kill some of my darlings, I think the piece is all the stronger for it.

I Will Not, But I Want To when the indignation melts away in its place, like a tidal wave: ache yearn miss so fiercely, i fear it will unmake me but I will not crawl never again will I: condense shy hesitate but oh—how part of me wishes to be on my knees worshiping you again. Concluding Thoughts A very straight forward, blunt poem, nothing to really read into. Nothing much for me to add and share.

CAFE I gather threads in a room without wind which is normal for I am inertia without orbit ice clusters in the hollows of my veins must motivation show her alluring face when only I am witnessed? ʻaʻole hiki mai ka paipai, ke noho wale au; ke hōʻike ʻia au, laila, hele mai ʻo ka mana, I say how I loathe immobility, it’s likeness of ceding like a prophecy’s dawning that warns: to remain still is to perish in a world with so much possibility my dear, you must flee seek the hum of others and step into their current—witness and be witnessed. I had to write this piece for a summer creative writing class focused on poetry, playwriting, and creative non-fiction. The assignment was to write a poem modeled after one of Robert Frost's works, mimicking the tone and structure of one of his poems. For the life of me, I cannot remember what the poem was, but if ever I remember, I will come back and update this blog post. While this poem carries a specific personal truth for me, I’d rather not define it here. Meaning in poetry—like many art forms—is not fixed. Art is actively alive, fluid, and shaped by its viewer. I find it far more compelling to hear what meaning someone draws from a piece of art than to anchor it solely in the artist’s original intent. What captivates me most is the ripple effect: what inspired the work—and what the work, in turn, inspires in others. Because some truths prefer to remain in shadow and be shaped more by feeling than by clarity. So I invite you to read it through your own lens—if it stirs, reflects, or reveals something in you, I’d love to hear about it in the comments. “Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.” —Robert Frost. —Bair✍︎ Where epic fantasy meets philosophical ponderings of the self.
