edition #6 - poet
I was born and raised in Bangkok but I moved to England when I was six, where I completed primary school. Then I came back to Thailand for secondary education in Ruamrudee International School in Bangkok. In high school, I completed IB Certificate Diploma, advanced subjects being Biology and English. I am now twenty years old and currently studying at Thammasat University in the faculty of Liberal Arts.
SMILES
The smile that conquers,
The smile that kills,
The smile that creates life:
Every definition your smile offers
Is ever so enthralling –
Be it with such adoration
Or extravagant seduction,
It’s always sacred.
Through ribbons of the rainbow
Through streaks of sunlight
Through shimmers of the stars
I find different ways to your smile
To see something more precious than
Those white pearls.
A treasure is there
To give mirth to those lips
They open with joy,
The glow that comes through the window –
The main window to your soul.
Do not deem it all sublime!
For your smile is also the gate of decadence.
When this extravagant feeling subjugates
The treasure these lips part to show
Lights up the flames of greed!
I fall in love with the treasure
But I no longer want it to be yours –
It should be mine, all mine!
But it all belongs to you –
This, I understand,
And this… I cannot take away:
The reason for it being rare!
Whatever feelings your smile may engender
I always take pleasure in,
Something my ‘book of love’ reads for,
Nothing less, nothing more –
But no! I am wrong!
Your smile is the utter reason for ‘more,’
The more I see through the window,
The more brightness I feel:
Not the scorching brightness of the sun,
But golden light wrapped in turquoise blue,
Like the warm setting sun fading into the sea:
You, being the glow of harmony.
I from solid coldness
Turn into gentle, calm serenity –
Exciting happiness mellowed in peaceful exhilaration,
There is no further explanation for this inner joy!

'Our ability to live in peace with each other, depends first and foremost on our ability to accept all that is different between us'
"We wish to create new possibilities for artistic relationships and cultural exchange, supporting artists at all levels in the development of their craft. Frame Lines offers a unique access to a dynamic world of print and new media, like yourselves to the belief that art, writing and creative expression matter.
It doesn’t matter how the literal (by conventional definitions) quality of a piece of work is gauged, as long as we are convinced that you ripped a chunk of your soul and bared it to the world (with your eyes closed tight and heart as open as the sky), then you’ve earned your moment of marvel; your glitter of fairy dust; your glow of twilight in our world of darkness and lightness. And by whatever’s sacred, we’ll help you celebrate it"
