this moment

Pictures are taken to make sure we remember the moment we were in that place, the smile and pose and the feeling we had in that time. The poems I make are like the pictures that I take to ensure I store the raw feeling I had and convey the story what I was meaning to keep.

The words, the intense feeling I had-no matter how sad or happy, the message, the person behind them or the person I was with- I store them in the pieces I made, just like how a polaroid usually do. The poem does not necessarily mean that it was my story. Sometimes I try to be in somebody's shoe and try to make a poem out of being in that situation or feeling. Just like how a picture conveys stories, poems do too.

I could simply shot a picture to store them easily but pictures fade or an external card can be corrupted. But words... they are eternal.

So this book I'll make again are those poems with the stories or feelings I had when I was in that moment (or someone's moment) and I hope you can relate to them as you read them. I did my best to store and keep the feelings I had that time so enjoy 'this moment'.
