Rose full of flare

Rose full of flare
To near I do not dare

You glow with a halo
As if from heaven
Yet your thorns grow
Like horns of nightmares.

Seeing you against the azure
I cry of no more bonjour
Parting to new land and life
Less pleasant without you there

Subjugated

I am what I am
yet things change.
Time, Space flow
as they will.

Yet I am subjugated
to un-natural forces.
Twisted, bended
against my true form.

Ignored, transformed
to be shape by others.
I long for freedom.
I long for the Way.

Why do I miss a home
I have never seen with my eyes

New Year, New Job, New Life

Just writing this to give all you guys an update with the happenings of my life. I've been MIA for the last few years trying to focus on my career and repairing damages, cause by poor career decisions in the pass. Sorry for being so distant. But know that I keep my friends and love ones close my heart, and always in my thoughts.

I won't bore you all with the details of my "lost years". Suffice to say, after being tired and burnt out working for "new and exciting" companies/projects endlessly since college. I was content to work for UCLA for a few years, rest up, take life slow, and hopefully attune for any bad karma I accumulated over the years. This was not meant to be.

Recently, Fox Interactive Media extended me an offer that was difficult to pass ... so I didn't. Starting sometime in January, I'll be working around Century City/West Hollywood area. Until then, I'll be enjoying what time I have left working in Westwood. 2007 will be an extremely exciting year for me, career wise.

But I hope it is also the year I end my recluse, and reconnect with you all. If time permits, please feel free to contact me. And if you are working near by or happen to be in the area, let me know and we can get some lunch and catch up a little.

And more importantly, I wish you all a blessed and exciting Happy New Years.

-D

Who do you love?

How can you love me
If you can't see me
Who do you touch
When you caress me

Alone in your embrace
I cry into you hair
As we make love
To people never there.

Wrong Time Wrong Space

Wrong Time Wrong Space
I wander out of place

What am I to do, a warrior
with nothing worthy to face

Where are the battles
of honor and glory
The wars
for future and faith
Heroes
who inspire and sacrifice

Haiku Day

I am in a haiku writing mood. Below are some haiku I wrote today. Hope you enjoy them.

And for those of you who refresh a lot ... Yes, the poems are changing right before your eyes. I'm revising them over and over again. :)

**************************
City Lights, Street Noise
Stimulus for the senses
Flowing endlessly

**************************
Blood Red Sky above
Death of a horrible day
Better Tomorrow?

**************************
Storm, Thunder within
I, within the eye of all
Chaos surrounds me

**************************
Lost Beautiful girl
Who I never saw with eyes
A dream or nightmare?

**************************
The sword or the pen
I am neither and both, void.
True form is formless.

**************************
Does the Tao guides? No.
It is what is and no more.
Way, with many paths.

**************************
Sad song of the soul
You jive with rhymns so slow
Like Death's coming kiss

**************************
