Cogito Ergo Sum

An Optimist who hates optimism

“Tower”

“You don’t have to lie
Saying that you’ll try
To make it work from a distance
Just leave me here to die
As I watch you climb
Up to the top of your ambitions

You’re high upon the tower
Now don’t look down
I will be okay here on the ground
And you can always call
To say hello from time to time
When you’re no longer mine”

When everything is life and death
You may feel like there’s nothing left
Instead of love and trust and laughter
What you get is happy never after
But deep down all you want is love
The pure kind we all dream of
But we cannot escape the past
So you and I will never last

‘cause I’m a Homewrecker (I’m only happy when I’m on the run)
‘cause I’m a Homewrecker (I broke a million hearts just for fun)

hands to heal
hearts to steal
rolling thunder
lightning down under
red lipsticks
foolish tricks
eyes wide shut
digital smut
darken skies
enlighten lies
spoken words unspoken
broken pieces yet not broken
whiny road up ahead
stormy waters hard to tread
wooden log thrown at sea
guided light to heart’s decree
uncertain beats played in restless sleep
Fire ignited, I am Rolling In The Deep.




Checked in at extended stay by the bay
Linked by the 15th of May
Words spoken
Truths shared, one heart potentially broken
Comforting words evoked gentle smile
True feelings suppressed for awhile
Crossed a bridge on a Friday night
Feets move at the Dragon’s might
Hands intertwined at night’s end
Light our cigarettes at some Bad Lands
Heart beats, unable to speak
Watched our feet dangled on top of twins peak
Wheels move yet everything is still
Safe and sound and full of thrills
Arms wrapped around in a warm embrace
Guilty feelings filled with disgrace
Eyes gazed and turned away
Sadness filled and we decided to stay
Close our eyes and entered eternal bliss
For one day we insisted

We were both ill
Hearts synced, we are still
Cured me with your love now
My lovely Po Yao

Finally, I am cureddd

Since i’ve come home, Well my body’s been a mess, and I like your hair and the way you dress

The light will always shine
The blues will always be mine
No sight
Close your eyes and dance under the spotlight

sweet lips
warm fingertips
loving smile
sympathetic denial
awkward stare
emotions bared
happiness unfulfilled
sadness instilled
silence like daggers
tripped, I staggered
hands waved
pavements paved
weak knees
heart flees
run run, away
NO, come back, stay
NEVERMIND….
words not spoken
only hearts broken
Questions remained
Love lost, experience GAINED.

Since I’ve come home, well my body’s been a mess and I miss your tender hair and the way you like to dress

Won’t you come on over. Stop making a fool out of me. VALERIE

lifeless body remain
shattered memories of yesterday
trigger pulled yet no pain
ceased life or to stay
kind words spoken ill
comforting silence bares sound
prescription glasses to see life’s still
leap of faith with no rebound
gasping for air,
unable to breathe,
fallen are the tears of despair
broken spirits buried from beneath
Weeping cries from a boy
crushing blows from a love
breathe me life my decoy
or fly away, you foolish dove.
