Life and Fate

How different
Life and Fate
Conceived
by the sin of birth:
when then can we
escape
from our history?

The Moon Was Only A Street Light

The moon
was only a street light.
The star
was just a firefly.
And I- the princess
was barely a comedian.

You're In The Lime

You're in the lime
I cut for the coke,
for the Corona.

Maybe in time
I wouldn't choke,
remembering who we are.

Hi Foxy Lady

Hi foxy lady,
How are thee?
Where will reside thee?
It's so breezy,
will thy boots be
Thy only company
and comfortee?

How Would I Take Thee?

How would I take thee?
-upon my journey?
With pictures to see
-confirming our history-
with smiles and tears
-knitting every memory.

Bedazzled Was I

Bedazzled
was I- with your eye
Bedazzled
were you- with my view?

If bedazzlement
ever again happen:
Can I
say 'hi'?
Can you
continue?

A Dream Is Not A Lie

A dream is not a lie
when it doesn't come true,
it is something worse:
You warned me
Bruce agrees.
But still
I cannot see:
Please don't wake me.

Misery And Me

Misery and me
we're not company:
we're just acquintance
when there's relevance.
We greet politely
but at times it gets ugly
I will try
but in the end, I cry-
Misery and me
we're not meant to be.

My First Pretzels

My first pretzels
on an air vessel
My mind I shuffle
but it's as a dumble-
Will I stumble
Will my world crumble?
Will I stay humble
As my experience double?
Will it be a dazzle
Or just a hassle?

If we walk some miles

If we walk some miles
will it be sufficient
to put little smiles
on the face of some children?

If we walk a thousand miles
will it be sufficient
to put little smiles
on the face of a thousand children?
