All thanks to one smirk.

My mind was burning
as days in summer, and smirks
mock my confusion.

This should be a series! :O

I'm taking a break from making more haiku, so here's a few.

Acid runs up a
throat, spouting undigested
trash that filled myself.

Clouded, misguided
attempts that enhance moments
that were never real.

A sad goodbye heard
from the chokes of a rope that's
tangling all my hopes.

Hopes, aspirations,
all held with an icy grip
that gathers up fear.

Flow

Days flow out like tides,
slipping away from the shores
where I can stand tall.

High School Graduation

It still doesn't feel
real, moderated by time's
stretching folds, fondant.

Cumming, Georgia

"They ain't like folks 'round
here," says the Macintosh from
Apples to Apples.

Sunapee, New Hampshire

No warning before
the kayak turtles over.
Cold, pure water strikes.

Cell Phone Dying

It holds on for the
return trip, but not when I
download "Day Tripper."

Nitrous Oxide

Jokes are understood
later still than they are at
1 in the morning.

Wisdom Teeth

With inner sage robbed,
I become American:
passive, couch-confined.

The Recovery

I make music while
on drugs. I heard it worked for
one Lady Gaga.

Tunnel

See the light slowly
approaching. I soon will know
what lies before me.

Backspace

Make an error once,
and my hand gravitates towards
the same key again.

Electric Hand Dryer

Listen closely. It
whispers in a language that
no one understands.

Time is speeding my
end, as the white summer leaves
fall upon my head.

I know this feeling.
Where dreams stretch ever further,
time squeezes tighter.

The Stanley Cup

Old, yet shiny. It
might be covered in sweat, but
that is glory's work.

Your Brain Turns to Jell-O

When you watch T.V.,
said my mom when I was young.
And I believed her.

Necker Cube

Circles, lines, and 3
dimensions made out of 2.
Easily fools minds.

God's Imagination

God lives inside us
all...or we live in him. It's
all inside his head.

Step by step, I live
One foot in front of the last-
The pain drives me on.


Life is a party.

You are not invited.

Pain is strength. Only
the elite fall easily
as a house of cards.

I Don't Want to be Here Right Now

But conversation
is a vicious cycle with
little breathing room.

The Doppler Effect

Ride emotions like

too tight. Glissando.

Confusion
To have one sickness
But suffer from the symptoms
Of the opposite

Apathic
Trying to focus
On anything before the
World will fade away...

Paranoid
Just for how long will
You keep on convincing me
That chemtrails are real?

Misunderstanding
How many more times
Need I say that I did not
Choose to be depressed?

Hamilton, Bermuda

The smallest of the
world's capitals feels bigger
with history's weight.

Time and Silence

One does not challenge
the power of the two great
intangible treatments.

Driving on the Left

I still cringe when cars
turn corners, later knowing
the right side is wrong.

June 26th, 2015

My home would bear the
rainbow flag, but my sister
and Jindal are bros.*

*It seems that whenever anything notable happens (e.x., the Boston Marathon bombings, my country legalizing gay marriage, etc.) I am on vacation. And yes, I did enjoy my vacation in Bermuda, thanks for asking.

Descent into Boston 2

There shall be one for
every flight, luggage plight,
high height, and long night.

The Pattern on the Tissue Box

I stare at it in
absent-mindedness. Lack of
sleep imprints flowers.

It is a long road.
It has no beginning, no
end...trapped in time, space.

How to Build a Stranger

Perhaps I was too
Quick to know how to live here
Now, I am nowhere.

Now that I am no longer
Where the darkness lives.

Haha, not really. It says that on your main page because you haven't uploaded anything to the Portals or made a news post yet. ;)

What does it say to
me that it's hard to scan an
American flag?

Happy Fourth everyone!

The Threshold

Time is symbolic.
It marks a feeling, not a
