Just a thought over my morning coffee...

If you like strong coffee, just be sure you're stronger than your brew.

We tend to have this image of confidence to disguise the inner chaos we have. But what is important is that we are much stronger than what life has to offer.

Trying to change the world while hoping it won't change me. 😣

Coffee Please!

A hard week and another hard day...

Playing in my mind like a track that keeps me going...
"You don't wear my chains" - Boston (Augustana)

Just Because

I can see it coming
Like red flags on butterflies' wings
Clear are the writings on the wall
Right off the bat like a cannon ball.
Lines and curves losing sides
Leaving it all behind
For what is the difference between honesty and lies
The gray in between is where the truth is disguised.
And I could be a fool for 3 minutes
A little kindness could hurt your pride but it won't make you sick
I'll pretend not to know your schemes
Smile in your deepest realm.
And I'm looking for an inspiration arbitrarily
Faces and places, moments and coffee
No, I don't miss you but I remember you so I paused
For things I try my best to linger just because.

Life is a Cup of Macchiato

When your kid wants to eat at Mc Donald's but you're craving for macchiato...
We compromise.

Compromise is not an act of cowardice...

For in wisdom we learn that we could win even without a war.

For the love of Eli and Coffee

Writings on the Wall

I tried reading in between the lines
But I can't see any clue.
Or was I reading too hard?
That my eyes got tired of looking for you.
So I fast forward then rewind,
Maybe I can find something behind.
But all I can see is a blind faith
Guiding me to my own fate.
I was asking for assurance,
Something to hold on to.
To give me the courage
To cross that line I drew.
But bridges burn.
And while the ember is losing that tiniest spark...
There you go igniting it again,
Yellow, red, orange in the dark.
And where can I ran to
If all the bridges lead to you.
I swear I had known love before
But I wonder why all those places felt like a rented home.
Now I know what happened all along
Because there in your heart is where I belong.
So again I asked for something to hold on.
But then He said - No, you just have to believe in me alone.

Evening Phase

A cliche says "Being alone is different from being lonely"...
While most people say they'd rather be alone than be with someone but still feels empty...
I say... I'd rather be alone with MACCHIATO.
We can find happiness anywhere...
Sometimes, its just in a cup.

Morning Phase III

Everybody needs an inspiration to fill in our empty lives.
While everyone says they want to have one...
I say, I want... YOU!
Naaahhhh! I got you on three!
You really thought I'm gonna say COFFEE - right!
Well I could be cheesy too...
And I bet you're tasting that saltiness in your cup of tea right now, though.

Watchers

Dear Time,
How could you endure yourself?
Don't you get bored proving yourself over and over?
What kind of self-fulfillment do you get when you lose one's patience?
How do you manage to overcome destiny?
How could you hurt love?
How could you heal the wound but not the pain?
How could you erase yourself but not the memories?
How could you be so fast yet so slow and so eternal?
And Time, could you tell me when?

Because it's hard to endure.
We get bored.
Soon we'll lose our patience.
We might give up our destiny.
We love and got hurt.
The wounds are closed but from time to time we still feel the pain.
We still remember and it hurts.
We forget and we hurt.
Fast or slow we're always catching up on you.
Until we can no longer catch up.
So I wish you could impart wisdom on how you do it.
