Two in one
Sonia Ettyang May 16
I want you all to myself. Just the two of us wrapped in each others arms. Drenching in divine ecstasy as we melt into one form

East or West

A break or a Bridge
It's torrents and whirlwind
In this mind field
That I lay bare with my soul churn
Agony written in my heart
Pain cuts deep to my bone
Aches to name the weight that bends my will

How I wish could quiet a thousand voices
Each one brut but none my own
Lost in a maze,  silence ensued
A whisper feels too loud
Caged in my own battleground
Couldn't find the words to roar
It clings, persistent like the flow of a river cutting through the earth's veins

Eyes wide but drowning,a tide made of thoughts
Silence becomes a scream
If only peace could drip through these cracked dry seams
And hold the ache until it's still
For now I'll let the chaos gnaw
These fragments of a soul in fight
Waiting for  the right words to flow
To piece me whole and soothe the ache

It's torrents and whirlwind
In this mind field
That I lay bare with my soul churn
Agony written in my heart
Pain cuts deep to my bone
Aches to name the weight that bends my will

A symphony

Love Reborn
Sonia Ettyang Mar 14
Lighting strikes in crimson hues
Spiral dance, in untamed grace
Order bending,shifting space
A symphony of wild and free
take a trip down through my spiral lanes
and make love to my outermost body
Fill my soul  and  ignite my spirit

Our love unfolds in the shadow of the tempest
Fractured glass reflects the sky
Shattered yet it multiplies
For even in the roaring tide
A storm that sings
A whirlwind that whispers
Two souls entwine beyond the night

Hungry Hearts
Hungry hearts starve, yet never feed.  They take, they give- then crave once more.
Mar 4 · 108
Sublime
Feelings were more than flesh and skin
But something deeper
That lingers like echoes in the sea
  ask for more, not just a longing, not just a need
  With the weight of silence draped in stars
Entwined like roots that grow from planted seed, something steady
  something free
  Something more for love to and burn
Feelings were more than flesh and skin,
But something deeper,
That lingers like echoes in the sea,
Asks for more, not just a longing, not just a need
With the weight of silence draped in stars.
Entwined like roots that grow from planted seed,
Something steady, something free,
Something more for love to tend and burn,
A flame that bends but never fades,
A current pulling hearts in turn.
Not just fleeting embers in the night,
But constellations carved in time,
A love that hums in whispered light,
Soft, eternal, and sublime.

Where Are You Now
Sonia Ettyang Feb 25
Even the earth struggles with finite woes when the horizon calls like a distant dream. Leaving our unchatered minds to imagine beyond the vastness. Secrets of the stars,  and rhythm of the auroras.
A timeless wonder indeed! Inspiring the  adventures of men in the moon, space and beyond.
Nevertheless, the infinite depth of what was, what is and what will be will forever remain is to uphold
And even though the cosmos may seem so far. Every being knows its path beneath the sun. For each footstep, big or small, strong or fragile. It found the courage to grow and stand tall
Through valleys of doubt, over mountains of fear,
With every stride, the path becomes clear.
Each step a story, a dream taking flight,
A journey unfolding, from darkness to light.
The ground may tremble, the winds may howl,
Every bruise, every scar, a mark of grace,
That shows the courage to continue the race.
No matter the size, no matter the pace,
The steps we take, leave an indelible trace.
For every challenge, we find the strength to stand,
Each footstep a testament to the soul’s command.
Finding  a place admist eternal praise.
We are Unity

The shoreline
Sonia Ettyang Feb 25
The ocean a mirror, whole yet always broken.

Unspoken soul and a restless heart that echoes tenderness, yet beats untamed.  I see myself beyond the water's gaze.

The waves bring me back to shoreline. Safe and sound. I sync into the ebb and flow unwinding the mind

The clouds hoover, filled with vengeance and wrath the ocean roars. A mystery of the tide, that reflects the higher highs and lower lows.  I watch from a distant as I ponder over it.

The ocean a mirror whole yet always broken

Counting Sand
Sonia Ettyang Feb 25
My feet at the shore line met a match so true, and much more in between. Mind synced, eyes spoke. But soon the waves seemed to crash our sand-castled dream, much left was our hearts going against the grain.

Coat Of Many Colours
Sun addled brain seems aloft
Is it red,green or yellow?
Like a clown and his perks
Bright technicolour with a grin so wide
It flips, it spins, no sign of despair


A coat of many colours
Any dream will do
Toss a coin to find a clue
A kiss under the mistletoe
Drop a tear in the ocean
Maybe a bounty on the shooting star
The finders keepers
Loosers weepers

Patchwork of life, that holds today or tomorrow
If it fits,it ships
A one of a kind and the ony one too
A coat of many colours
Any dream will do

Inner Critic
Sonia Ettyang Dec 2024
Soon you will realize that the inner critic grew a large tall trunk with thorny branches. Entangled your inners and is now playing monsters in your head. Casting its shadows of doubt, despair and hoplessness.

Thus be wary of the inner critic, and tread carefully in its waters. For what may seem innocuous can turn detrimental.  Shattering dreams and ambitions, leaving you in a never ending quagmire.
Tame the tongue of your inner critic before it eats you alive like poison

Gentleman's Pride
Sonia Ettyang Nov 2024
What an old soul you are,
Donned in leather that strikes tales of time
Cool tie and rocky shoes,
Leaves the girls smitten, caught in your gleam.
A presence that that feels like a rhyme
Is it your poise or charisma that draws them near? I ponder

Your mad hatter jokes weave laughter like art,
To what do I owe this delightful cheer?
A dance with you was never my intent.
With a glass down, I fix my flair,
Ready to strut to your grooves embrace,
“Shall we?” you say, each pun in sync,
A wink and a smile, together with a tip on the hat.

“Be mine for the night,” you say it with a smize
“If and only if we dance till the dawn breaks!” I reply
Laughter ensues and you pull me in,
Cheek to cheek, in this moment, we’re drawn.

Must be the wine, or is it the gentlemans pride, I ponder. You pull me in more and set loose for a little twirl.  We glide across the floor
Transforming the night.

The music spins and thrills. Slow and steady, we move on the edge
Glowing under the disco’s ball , letting the shadows sway
You pause and time stands still 
A grip on the guitar
with every strum you play.
A melody adored, an echo of the past,
In your music, it binds
Time gently unwinds
In the rhythm of your grace

Mind Over Matter
Sonia Ettyang Nov 2024
The mind, a labyrinth of mystery,
A riddle for the essence of being.
Thoughts cascade, a torrent of wonder,
Ideas intertwine, forging new paths.

Guard it from  the sway of opinion,
Embrace the awe in every potential.
Never underestimate its vast greatness;
In the depths of your mind, let brilliance awaken.
Explore the corners of what’s yet to be.
Unravel the stories that linger like ghosts,
Unearth hidden treasures, the things you love most.
Unleash your greatness
Take it upon yourself to shut down any negativity flowing your way. And greatly do so by affirming joys as loud and clear as possible and watch your life flourish.

Hearts and Minds
Sonia Ettyang Oct 2024
We run from love's warm embrace,
Though our hearts yearn to be near,
We whisper a cautious no,
While longing for what’s clear.

In the dance of hearts and minds,
With missteps that leave us torn,
The princess lost her charming prince,
In the silence of love’s dawn.

A chance lost to the days.
In silence, we mourn the path
That led us far away—
A dream once held so closely,
Now just a shadowed sway.
In shadows we often tread,
We glance and hope for contact,
Yet fear the words unsaid.

So let us dare to speak,
To bridge the gaps we create,
For in the honesty of words,
True love awaits, not fate.

Echoes of you
Sonia Ettyang Oct 2024
What if I told you, in whispered night,
That shadows of longing still dance in light?
In the quiet moments when time stands still,
I find echoes of you, a heart to fill.

Back then, we were dreamers, two souls in flight,
Chasing the stars, lost in our delight.
But seasons have changed, and paths drift apart,
Yet your memory lingers, a flame in my heart.

What if I told you, I wanted you then,
In laughter and silence, in now and again?
A truth woven softly in threads of the past,
A whisper of “what if” that’s bound to last.

So here in the twilight, I stand, ever near,
Carrying wishes wrapped tight in my fear.
What if I told you, in moments divine,
That wanting you now feels like crossing a line?

Flame, Remember me
Sonia Ettyang Oct 2024
Like a wick in wax,
Ignite my soul,
Let’s dance in the fire,

Where passion burns
With every flicker bright,
Our spirits intertwine,
In this sacred light,
Your heart beats with mine.

Embers whisper secrets,
In the warmth we find,
A love that never wanes,
Eternal and unconfined.

Like a wick in wax.
Ignite my soul
And lets dance in the fire

Taste the Broth
Sonia Ettyang Oct 2024
In a *** of dreams, where flavors twirl and spin,
If you’re bold enough to stir, be ready for the grin.

Confetti
Sonia Ettyang Oct 2024
Confetti rains with giggles loud,
Naughty gestures, cheeky and proud.
A peek-a-boo that sparks delight,
A vibrant pack, ready to ignite.

You’re a kaleidoscope in a dull gray scene,
With shades of mischief—bold and keen.
Life’s a party with you around,
In your colorful chaos, joy is found.

WHISPERS prt2
Sonia Ettyang Oct 2024
I stand on the road,
One foot ahead, where the wild winds blow.
A suitcase in one hand, dreams tucked inside,
A thumb raised high, with the world as my guide.

Eager for a cruise with a heart to discover,
Each mile a whisper, as I search for my lover.
With stars as our compass and the sea as our song,

WHISPERS
Sonia Ettyang Oct 2024
I never knew our hearts were travelers,
fated to meet in the fleeting embrace of time,
yet racing through the moments of life.
You, sat by the window,( train in motion)
one hand on the pane, eyes tracing horizons.

And there I stood, luggage in hand,
lost in the warmth of your gaze,
wondering how I missed the whispers
of destiny in the rush.

The train pulled away from the station,
a heartbeat lost in the distance.
Tell me, beloved, will our paths cross again,
or are we but shadows in the twilight,
woven together in the tapestry of dreams?

Tears On the shore
Sonia Ettyang Oct 2024
But darling, I cried as I watched the ocean waves gently kiss the sand, each crest revealing secrets of longing and love. The salty breeze wrapped around me like a familiar embrace.

With each wave that rolled in, I felt my heart break open, the water drawing out my sorrow and returning it transformed

In that fragile moment, I understood—just as the tides ebb and flow, so too do our emotions, forever intertwined with the vastness of the world around us.

Good Old Days
Sonia Ettyang Aug 2019
Real steel
Stepping into the train
Smell of old leather wafts the air
Deja Vu slip through the mind
Sits next to the windowpane reminiscing
Couchette and crotchet-blankets
The night fall asleep

Dark subway tunnels
Black fumes and rigorous hooting
Departure and arrival
Screetching brakes
Roaring engines

Weekend gateways
Sundress and hats
Codroy and bell bottoms jeans
Suitcase and newspapers
Home and away
New skies and Fading memories

Krypton

Into the dark of the night when our minds cruises through the infinite ebb of reality. We rise through the stellar heights feel the krypton energy activate, and evaporate through the outmost core causing a spectrum of fluorescent lights to radiate through the cosmic spheres.

Neptune Tides
Sonia Ettyang May 2019
Falling back to the blank slate
dark night of the soul rising
Supersonic winds are whirling
Megastorms with shattering glass flying
Ooh I feel the acid rain pouring
I see the dust devils dancing
hurricane thunder's wrecking in

Wild Neptune tides are rising
Back and forth rising
Crushing drowning and burning
Neptune tides
Neptune tides

This is a tidal war
It's an etheric war in the pathless land
A battle of the titans
Loosing to the ******* hole
The open walls are closing in
But I see the oasis on the horizon
Beconing for my unbegotten soul
My spirit rises with rage
I slay the beasts and chain the demons
Take back my wings of freedom
And set my spirit free

Seeker's Paradise

Questers of truth
With mystical souls and mystery minds
Once in awhile need a rewind
Slowdown the pace
And seek for places and spaces that
reignite the spirit and water the soul
Seeking for places and spaces that speak peace and fill the mind with ease
Seek places and spaces that bring uttermost connection
A home away from home
A haven

Enemy Within
Sonia Ettyang Feb 2019
Once you realize an empty soul is one who has lost; not a fight but a war that rages deep inside of their being.  Then you'll cease to compromise the sanity of your mind and soul for their sake. For no matter how hard you try to help them refill their vessel they'll still be running on empty.

Swirls around the sun
But in her daydreams

Free flowing as the wind  
Her spirit forever burns like wild fire
Her body like the ocean is forever in
motion
dancing to the rhythm of her own drums
from one shore to another she moves
With flowers around her head
  Jewelry on her body
Music in her heart
Pen and notebook in her hand
And eyes set on the infinite sky
To wander and to wonder
Forever enchanted by the mysteries of the earth

Down memory lane is an old town house called the Past
Constructed with age old events
Painted with long held beliefs and furnished with yester memories

and a clear understanding of
that was then and this is now
That was then this is now:)
