Spring Confetti
I wanna keep those spring-colours in bottles
Safe and sound for mixing drinks on monochrome winter days
Blooming confetti pastelegantly dancing through the air
Celebrating new beginnings
Sparkling blue skies like upside down oceans
Call me to spread my wings and dive into
Just like your eyes
Somewhere between heaven and earth
I wanna get lost in them to find myself
Sparkling blue eyes like upside down oceans
Call me to lose myself and take a dive into the unknown
Just like an untravelled bridge
Between your heart an mine
I wanna follow this winding road to discover myself
Ode To April
Snowflakes and sunbeams enter the celestial ballroom
Dancing the meteoro(il)logical tango together
Oppositenesses, intimately entangled
One unable to move without the other
Â
It’s that universal Yin-Yang magnetism
All those interlinked singularities
That keep the infinite space from falling apart
And make us inevitably gravitate towards each other
Peony Poetry
Only once a year
The empress appears
Slowly unfolding her gown in the sunlight
Raising her glass of morning dew
To celebrate the art of patience and anticipation
Some things hold that one-in-a-trillion magic
Like the brightest star in the infinite universe
That all the days of doubt and ache
Will be forgotten
Within a single spark of a moment
When we finally behold the kind of uniqueness
We’ve been yearning for forever
