Wandering,
yet still moving forward —
winter lights the path.

Thinking of you—
winter wind drifts through the hush
of my quiet heart.

Let them rush.

I stay still—
quiet, certain.

What’s meant for me
won’t need a chase.
It will arrive
without noise.

A yellow poinsettia—
soft, unusual,
unwilling to beg for beauty.

Its quiet light
whispers to something inside me,
something fragile,
still waiting to be chosen.

So I place a wish there—
not spoken,
not fully known,
yet trembling
with the hope
of becoming real.

Birthday just passed—
preparing for Christmas cheer,
my winter routine.

December comes—
quiet as frost.

The air stills,
the nights deepen,
and even time listens.

Endings tremble
beside beginnings.

So soften your breath,
and step gently
into the quiet
of what comes next.

Crimson light pours in,
reaching the deepest places
I never dared to touch.

No words can hide,
no mask can stay intact—
the light sees everything.

Yet still,
it never wounds.
It lingers—
tender, intoxicating,
and strangely kind.

Afro-haired man hurries by,
tram driver shouts,
a traveler walks the wrong way—

chaos, laughter,
and a quiet toast
to birthday miracles.

Happy birthday to me today! 🎉✨

Between Autumn and Winter
You linger, caught between right and left,
Dancing along the edge of uncertainty.
No path can truly be chosen—
Only the season, with its quiet knowing,
Holds the truth that slips through your fingers.

Autumn tailwind blows,
Ideas drift through amber light,
One day flows onward.

The wind blows through,
Piercing my consciousness.
The flowing wind
Gently carries my sensibility.
A single ray of light
Breaks through the darkness,
Hope arriving with the wind.

Whims pass like rain,
autumn’s chill upon my skin—
I stand, unmoved

This restless flutter within my chest,
I know not how to still it.
My heart drifts—toward you,
Toward myself—
Both paths feel right, both paths feel wrong.
Yet in this trembling, I linger,
Suspended between longing and being.

Leaning out from the apartment window,
I search for your shadow.
No—perhaps it’s the shadow of the two of us I seek.
Drowning in a dizzying illusion,
Outside the window, the cold air brushes my cheeks.

A stir within.
In the hollow of my chest,
something flutters—
a sudden, delicate beat like hidden wings.

It is a feeling without a name:
a tremor of longing,
of expectation,
or perhaps the faint shimmer
of light breaking through the dark.

A cat murmurs,
a tiny hum vibrating through its throat.
Beyond the glass,
the cries of unseen creatures weave
like ghostly threads through the morning air—
enchanting,
yet darkly laced with secret sin,
drawing the heart into their spell.

Cold now lifted—
your quiet care lingers still,
heart feels a soft smile.

Rising from my bed,
I chase the birdsong outside —
yet legs still stumble.

At the bottom of night,
a single light flickers far away.
When I reach for it,
it drifts off like a ripple—
yet its glow still lingers in my chest.

Each time the wind passes,
a faint warmth brushes my cheek.
Somewhere,
a breath still moves through the dark.

The cold returns,
again and again.

I wake to birdsong,
I wake to rain.

After how many awakenings
will this, too, pass?

I wait for time —
quietly, I rest.

I spot a rainbow,
Spreading my arms wide,
Believing that beyond it
Lies dreams and hope.
Reaching for those sweet desires,
My fingertips dance in the air.
The rainbow stretches on forever.
