Beauty In All Things
Ten thousands thoughts collide behind these eyes
Cacophonous silence that drives me wild
At all times led in every-which way
But bound by science to live in only one place
Choice is a hefty weight upon by back
With his friend, the laughing Time
If he turned a blind eye I'd change the world
In paints, and sounds, and technologies
If only I could I'd show you what I see
The beauty in all things, in what you wouldn't think
In love and strife and war and famine
In the harmonious silence as I write
What irks me on is to capture that moment
When you melt away in blissful yugen
Well, maybe there's something wrong with me
Something wrong in all the best ways
But if luck would and could permit it
I'd show you things you'd never dream
Something wrong with this poem?

I paint, animate, write novels and short stories, compose and record music, brew beer, create various social projects all while preparing to study biochemistry at UCSD. It's always been hard to focus on one subject as literally everything fascinates me, yet writing is always at the center of my life. At the moment I'm looking to publish at least one of the dozen-or-so novels I've been working on, maybe even freelance as a journalist at some point in the future... ...and to be honest I never wrote poetry until now.
