Ignorance
ok
ignorance is bliss
and so
become the happiest
person alive
ok
keep the ignorance
and be happy
ok
take your choice
take happiness
take
the pigsty
where pearls
and gold
do not matter
ok

Dear Linda
you tell me
you speak a little spanish
and live in a mansion
owned by your grandmother
somewhere in
a coastal place
complete with maids
and butlers and
private drivers
in luxury i see you
and you tell me
you like my poems...
tell me what to do next
shall i write more poems
or shall i come to your place?

Let There Be Music
let there be music
turn the music player on
let there be dancing
let there be laughter
let there be nice conversations
and feasting
and touching and kissing
let our hips sway
let there be drinking
and smoking
let there be noise
and stamping of feet
and clapping of hands
then i will announce
who will die next

Pour
when it rains it pours
and when it pours
and you are caught
without an umbrella
when there is no
shade to hide
no place to go
why not stand still
and let the rain
pour and pour and
well,
tell yourself
the rain tastes good
the rain smells good
the rain feels good
and perhaps, life
will not be that miserable

The surplus Teddy Bear
The surplus Teddy Bear
open handed receive
package with navel hope, a beauty
that last for lifetime
stockade for ages, wonder that only few
have accepted, for nothing compare
than a cedar of Lebanon
oh! hail Israel, the Zion of Heaven
reveals, cast all the wonder, the day
arise form Bethlehem
receive.....

Cry...
stumble makes us strong,
even pain capture the grain
of tears swept like no
other choice but
to pour out the rain
when you cry, smile
wonder the sky and nothing left
than a simple wrinkles
in the face lift
isles
tears, tears like teardrops
fall in the rain,
that makes
you simple as the sun shine
in the sky

June
the storms came
and the waves were furious
the hardheaded ship
sailed
and it sank
sacrificing 240 lives
buried
under the many leagues
of the sea
mute to the bottom
the
sacrificial lambs
are dead and so
silent
up there
in the cool offices
of the lords

the closing Curtain
sail on mother boat, as the
anchorage of seaboard tip fail
for the last rope brings drops of
grace
wide open your hands, grip so tight
the slippery road excuses no one, as the
speed forward to the top on the northern sky
weight all the silver and let the gold
sink for nothing, only the lighted
one will comes first...

A Bedbug On My Palm
now the bedbug
finally finds
its place
in one of the lines
of the palm of my hand
its life
depends on the nail of my thumb
its weapon now
is simply being a ball
all its feet
hidden under its spherical wings
it is not praying
it is simply waiting for its death
within a palm
there is no choice
except my own
indecision

Vengeance
a melodic sound,
that satisfies
the urge of
satisfaction
it is a fulfillment of
one's inner
shade of revenge
the sting that makes
every moment a
happiness to
remember
nay, my soul rejoices
in pain. a backdrop
that i bring to eternity
am i loser or a winner?
