RIP Mr. Riddell

They taught me how to hold a pen,

but you taught me how to write.

And the skies never sounded so beautiful,

except in between your decorated words.

I almost drowned into the ink-blotched pages,

but you pulled me out and told me to dive instead.

Your voice may be lost amongst the ocean breeze,

but your words will sear into the fleshy heart

f o r e v e r

You're gone.

they didn't know where to go anymore

these l e t t e r s weak on their own

sentences strung together in empty space

like feathers

" birds of a flock "

you used to tell me, so insignificant

yet so significant

I miss your voice.

Scarlet Serpents.

scarlet trickles through ashen layers

paving a story through milky grooves

she smiles at the serpent coiled around her wrist

and whispers hymns to it lovingly

[ help me ]

fingers stain iced-glass

i scream her name but no reply

I watch the snake grow in size, 

poison electric blue in her veins.

I want to reach and brush her face,

wipe her tears and call her name...

but i can only watch, i can only watch,

i can only cry.

(Yes X, this is for you)

Tears of pain.

A 22 year old good looking chinese in Malaysia committed suicide after his model girlfriend broke up with him.

This made me cry.
Love for some hurts, and for some kills.

Falling down.

Just a split second and all is lost.

The light in the eyes gives way to darkness, 

the sound of the voice gives way to silence,

the warmth of the body gives way to icy cold.

And then you're gone.

But the light returns to your eyes,

the sounds return in ways of song,

the warmth of the body to the skies,

and you're finally not alone.

Deaths scare me.

It's frightening to know that in a few moments, the rosy hue on the cheeks turn pale and the life you had, the life you breathed is gone just like that. I'm afraid of death. I only hope that when he comes and sucks my soul away, I go with a smile--willingly. Because that means that'd i'd have done everything I really wanted in my life, and I have no regrets.

In remembrance to someone who has died recently.
