Sunday

Give me Adele & Duffy,
And sweet honey tea.

Let me dream my Sunday away,
As rain drips on my windowpane.
And an hour suddenly becomes
An eternity…

Because who in this world
Would actually prefer
To sit too long
On bad frozen moments
And dream about tragedy?

there’s a charm about undeveloped places, untouched by modernization. then there’s a charm about urban decay, uglified by modernization.

#1 - A Corner on Broadway, New York - November 2011
When you were little… Did you chase after your shadow? Did you hold tightly onto Mommy’s hand? Did you play dress up and borrow her lipstick? Did you make a wish upon a balloon before releasing it?

#1 - A Corner on Broadway, New York - November 2011

When you were little…
Did you chase after your shadow?
Did you hold tightly onto Mommy’s hand?
Did you play dress up and borrow her lipstick?
Did you make a wish upon a balloon before releasing it?

Nothing beyond surface

is comfortable.

Uneasiness brings

the devils and angels out.

Friendship

To Jennie
by Damian Bao

We fall,
We hurt,
We are children of flaws.

We argue,
We fight,
We are children even as adults.

I have told you once,
I have told you twice,
I will tell you until the end of time.

I love you,
I love you beyond the edge of the seas,
I love you beyond the height of the skies.

I saw you grow up,
I grew up with you,
I have always loved you.

I danced with you at your very first ball,
I was there when you used your first makeup brush,
I saw you transform into the beautiful woman you are today.

You are a foolish girl,
I am a foolish boy,
And forever you will be my darling friend.

My dear friend,
No matter the miles I have to travel,
No matter the cliffs I have to climb,
Wherever you are crying alone,
I will always be there,
You will never have to ask.

About

I take pictures, and I write poetry. Life to me is a tragic comedy, a book of ironies.
