Aloha

Where we depart today
will bring us new learning

Everyday is a long yearning

Aspirations will make you a star
but only determination will take you far

--to my first official group of students

Crush

Beauty in disguise
which makes love translucent.

Staggering heart that seeks solitude.

Ambitions drain
with withering gain.

It's a perplex pain
Yet, I ponder to see you again.

Success in Failure

"Failed writer, failed life...
I love the word 'fail'.
Failure is human destiny.
Failure teaches us that life is but a draft...
a long rehearsal for a showthat will never play."

---Movie script "Amelie"

This one goes out to my jobs, relationships, and friendships.

As I was driving to work tonight, it was raining. I started to frame every second of my life. For each second, there was a pause, and nothing else but the echoes of silence.

New Year 2007

End with tears
Start with dear
Hopefully tomorrow brings us cheers
and a happy new year.

False Love

You came
You bloomed
You stabbed
You fell
You rotted

Two Wrongs

Moments of tears
Moments of bliss
When you are near
I am missed

Be my darkness
Be my light
Lead me to happiness
Distract me from my sight

You were strong
I was right
This is our song
to dim our light.
