nothingness
"I froze before the keyboard. I couldn't think of a damn thing to say. No poems, no prose, no words. The pain cannot even be alchemized into art, into words, into something you can chalk up to an interesting experience because the pain itself, its intensity, is so great that it has woven itself into your system so deeply that there is no way to objectify it or push it outside or find its beauty within."-Elizabeth Wurtzel, Prozac Nation

One Day in jakarta
one day in jakartai took off my face
and wandered among
the wounds and the traffic.
i was reflected
in blank consciences of its people
who had spent years
searching for themselves.
one day in jakarta
the slimy land of the soul
the desolate houses
bereft of conscience.

The melody of the train stations
I wanted to be alone. forever.to breathe out boredom
to wait, to watch the leaves fall,
to capture the pale, distant
shadows.
I wanted to be alone and watch you
sleep in my wound
before i hear the clock
tell me it is time to go.

Lost
If roses are meant to be redAnd violets to be blue
Why isn't my heart meant for you
My hands longing to touch you
But I can barely breathe
Starry eyes that make me melt
Right in front of me
Lost in this world
I even get lost in this song
And when the lights go down
That is where I'll be found
This music's irresistible
Your voice makes my skin crawl
Innocent and pure
I guess you heard it all before
Mister Inaccessible
Will this ever change
One thing that remains the same
You're still a picture in a frame
Lost in this world
I even get lost in this song
And when the lights go down
That is where I'll be found
I get lost in this world
I get lost in your eyes
And when the lights go down
That's where I'll be found
I get lost in this world
I get lost in your eyes
And when the lights go down
Am I the only one

the beginning of the end
This morning the sun is finally shining, that helps to start the day good. Looks like a new day out there, but I'm still hurting a lot, maybe more than before, but the depression has lifted a bit. So I'm hanging in there.I get so lonely here and the days are so long, not much to look forward to. Until now, I am finally able to get away for a while, I am not so happy about that. After living in such tough circumstances for so long, I feel afraid. I can't go back now, I just can't.
One thing I've learned in this journey of life is that there are days that all you can do is just put one foot in front of the other and keep going forward. If you do that enough days in a row, somehow things get better. But i miss home already....
you're always ruling in my heart, dad...

Singing a sad tune
when the sky turns light,
from the fading night,
the birds will sing a rhyme,
but not in time,
to save a life,
suddenly taken with a knife.

Jakarta - Indonesia
I wanna meet people who inspire those around them with their posture alone but break hearts when they dance, people who are brave and sincere, people who know of other languages and cultures and are willing to share their knowledge with me, old books and photographs, music that I have to fall into....
