      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      To those who have set foot in the ocean of love,

      to bathe in the creation of sunlight kissing earth,

      only to find its waves and depth tickle their bones

      and rush their heartbeats,

      and to those who left the whys unanswered.

      Preface

      This book captures all faces of love in the most deceitful manner, for poems could have million meanings depending on how the readers read. There is no other reason for Dancing Alone to be published but to show how in this modern time, poems could still show how words are such a powerful energy that could radiate love to all who read it.

      The more I see the sun,

      The more I crave for snow

      The more I see people,

      The more I want to go

      The more I look for love,

      The more I feel left out

      The more I know the truth,

      The more I want to lie

      The more I think of hope,

      The more I want to cry

      Surprised

      I hope you won’t be too surprised

      When I told you what makes me satisfied

      Pressing the next button

      Over and over

      Just to find a little piece of truth

      You won’t tell straight to my face

      I hope you won’t be too surprised

      When I told you what disappoints me

      Pressing the next button

      Over and over

      Just to find no truth

      Because you won’t tell straight to my face

      So I have to be both-

      Satisfied and disappointed

      Because all I can get is your kindness

      And I can only share my awkwardness

      Because there’s no truth to be
