Within My Mind
What I left,
pastured out and lost
long gone,
helpless hanging
a quiet galloping horse
and mindless gaggles,
intersection, interstices
a balloon of my mind,
quickly grazing the sky.
You colour me in,
new fantasias on canvas
rollicking with cadence,
newness mixed memories
aloft, in accordance,
we'll dance in evergreen
effervescence again -
untethered.

I give my body freely to Mother Earth,
but she doesn’t want it, not yet
she told me I was only a sapling,
my roots too small to find my footing
I would have to keep growing, growing
before she was ready to take me in
so I sit in this brook, waiting for the steady flow of water
to rip away at my seams
break me open, flush out the wounds
that cause me the most agony, I beg
take my impurities far away from here,
let them die in the open sea
and give my body back to me
cleansed eternally 🪞

how long spent drifting
a whip-brush of sea grass protected the clamshell when they washed up together we ignore the rotting green pick up the open empty shell with our child's hands say, "look, they're twins!" it's true: once one, now two still hinged and patterned identically and the limp slime of weed it no longer protects as it once did, ocean-wise when the shell was whole.

Goodbye to the moon
I was the sun and you were the moon,
I was in pursuit to reach for you
but the more I ran after you
the further we are from each other.
So I’ll leave you where you belonged,
be in your own space to shine with the stars
and just admire you from there
let you shine your light from there.
You brought light to the darkness in my heart
but then as beautiful and admirable as you are,
no matter how much I aim for you
you’re just so distant and unreachable.
Just like the moon affects the tide of the oceans,
you have power over the highs and lows of my emotions.
Like the moon exerts gravitational forces,
you are so far away, yet your energy reaches through me, pulling me towards the very center of your heart.
-Roxanne

Red
Reddish
Brown
Black
Two feet of cloth and the sound of a thousand feet
Running away
Stumbling
Falling
Two feet of cloth and a hundred strikes on tender backs
Two feet of cloth and a thousand scars
Hear their voice
Be their voice
They need you
Two feet of cloth,
and a million people saying her name.
rest in peace, mahsa amini.

Monolog Senja
================================================
Senja………
Sendu………
Pagi………
Mentari……
Jalan berkelok tanjakan mendaki
Embun sunyi disekeliling Djati
Derap langkah meniti langkah
Menyusuri kelok berumput penuh kisah
Rangkul tangan bertaut
Suara bersahut menyahut
Mentari hilang bersembunyi
Semilir angin meringankan beban menguatkan hati
Lelah kaki terasa mencoba merebut asa
Nestapa terobati oleh canda tawa
Oh Djiwaku….
Berkelanakah kau menggitari nusa?
Benarkah tujuanmu ada disana?
Puncak Rinjani lereng Merapi
Tak selalu memberi jawaban pasti
Oh Djiwaku…..
Seakan bersemayam dilangit kelabu
Tidakkah engkau merindui?
Adakah ia dibalik jinggamu?
Menghitung bintang tiada pernah usai
Merangkak di gunung tiada tergapai
Gemerlap lampu tampak disini
Kumpulan kisah tersembunyi disana
Menjabarkan rasa dari sini
Adakah ia menafsirkannya?
Menulis puisi benak berkelana
Isyarat-isyarat cinta menghujam raga
Menenggelamkan derita menguatkan asa
Mengurai kisah menggores tinta
Akukah ceritanya: atau akukah pemerannya?
………

Against all odds, I find that I now love the snow because it makes me think of you.

Quote
It does not matter how much
You try and love someone.
You cannot make them stay.
Not because it is painful or worthless
Or an artistic rendition of an execution-
It is because you are not a place
For someone to find a home in.
People are not houses.
Their eyes are not windows.
Your heart is not a heater
To keep others warm.
People are not going to stay,
Even if you beg them to.
A body can barely fit one soul in it,
No use in trying to fit another.
A soulmate is nothing more
Than a next door neighbor.
Do not try and force them to
move in and be your roommate.
There is only enough space
For one, and you might find
Yourself locked out of your own life.
Love makes us feel like we are
more than we actually are.
Like the sky is the limit-
Which is probably true.
But eventually you get so high that
You start to run out of oxygen.
You choke and you beg for help
And that is when you realize
You really are all alone.
Because no one stayed with you.
It was a solo ride to the the top,
And now you have over 20,000 feet
To emotionally plummet from.
Will anybody catch you?
Do you really want them to?
above sea level // ghosti

Feelings clashing: anger, sadness, hope
Battling over our future
My dignity screams no but the memories seem so happy
Your toxicity screams no but the memories seem so happy
Is my rage blocking my mind or are the memories fogging it?
Can’t decide for a yes or a no, there always seems to be a part that blocks it.
But isn’t it funny how after all you still wake feelings at all in me?

Indefinitive
Pinpoint that moment
specific within this, with us
where the sparkle takes your eye
and your heart is blooming out,
when our cluster of desire
spins us in encapsulation, where
thoughts dizzy themselves away
and nothing but desire remains,
where does it begin and end
or where can we perceive the start?
Our truths in tune and
in unison we move,
bejewelled.

held in orbit
sitting like the moon
i think to myself
you know more than i can:
after all
shards collecting at night
are travellers through the vacuum—
what i see through blurry eyes
is a smudge of light
i curl up like your child
a piece of you all dusty and transmogrified
and you a piece of earth
gracing us with ancient time

Dead-end road of love
Being in-love with you is like traveling a road all by myself with no destination,
I’m just enjoying the solo journey of this feeling,
But at the end I know there is no end goal to this,
At the end I know it’s going nowhere,
And eventually I will have to change the direction
And go back home to myself, just all by myself…
-Roxanne

Short Spring Poems
____
plastic eggs
cracked open
in blades of grass,
she pushes her brother
____
through
the moss of
wet rocks,
a splash
____
white trees
lean over, leaves
bare through
the beat sun
____
miles
above
the last
tree,
a jet
glides through
clouds and blue
____
breeze
shaking
the dew
off
yellow
leaves,
a cardinal
fluttering
over a twig
____
in the spring,
two snakes
dry across
the mud of
each trail,
flies
swarming
over their
chewed
black scales
and blood
____
she
trips over
her own feet
in the field,
a raven flies
off near the
dandelions
____
