Can I Buy Your Love
Hey girl, can I buy your love
I want you but I’m not rich
I want you but I’m not good looking
My father says, man can’t buy a woman’s love
Unless she loves you
May I ask what love is?
How come no woman loves me
I’ve tried so many times
It’s always a failure
Ended up when she learnt
That I’m not rich
That I’m not educated
That I’m not good looking
What will happen to people like me?
I guess I’d end up married
To the woman who shared
The same fate as me
For, they too have not much choice

Coldness
The glimpse of dark night shivered and overwhelmed
Lightning like a splash of fire fiercely terrorized
Mountainous valley retreated and succumbed
Oak and maple homes enlightened with animosity
Iced soaked rains weren’t the worst nightmare
Mean rivers were numbed and cold
Rigid and passive vehicles
Strolling along the icy roads with courage
Defeated throughout the night of chilled coldness
Icebreaker should have done the jobs
But the sub zero will frozen you
Before you could heat up the machine
Interpreted into deformation
Froze bites will drive you into illusions
Something eloped of appreciation
Coldness is madness
Fragile and dumbness
Evolutes into a white wilderness

Blasphemy
Forbidden garden were planted with black roses
Emitting smells of long gone corpses
Abandoned for purity
Extricated from beneath of sunken earth
The soils were crumpling and humid
Turning it into after burnt colors
Trespassers wouldn’t take a second look
To determine what’s left for Hell
Is not left for Heaven
The brooding and legitimate darkness
Of impurities will soon
Breeds the seeds of Satan impersonating priests
All Hell breaks loose
Somebody with empowerment and virgin
Have to seal the floodgate
Children’s of the damned are crusading
An army of bona fide blasphemies
Exorcising the wicket link
Pathfinders will soon start
Surveying the pinnacles

An Epilogue To A Girl
You’re richer than wealth...
beauty than diamonds...
but with hollow heart..
melted like an ice-cream
I saw a girl is in dilemma..
to get the real meaning of humanization...
good and bad..
pretty and ugly..
hate and love..
a dilemma
Take me away...far..
Far away..
to the place....
I would craze
for taste
The vastness of horizon...
will penetrate the ozone of...
eternity...
the eternal life
beyond lives

Love You Tender
Miles away…your voices drifting
Far away…your crying milling
Apocalypse now…or never
The night is still freezing
Without you sleeping…
With me…craving
Tell me to my eyes
I’ll pay for the price
Should I come over?
To live with you my lover
We tie the knot
We fill the slot
Promises are here to stay
Every second I’d pray
Between two points
We toss the coin
Head or tail
Anything will prevail
You steal my heart

Death row swan song
There’s no moon to shine
On the solemn night
The stars has siege, prior to dawn
Death has painted the skies dark
Like a grave
The whole prison yards commemorate
To enormous silence
A sign of respect
To honour a fellow comrade
Who will be the next visitor
Of hell
Before the daylight spell
At 0500hrs
The death row inmate
Stood still on his last pray
Speaks to God, come what may
He will endure, for crime does not pay
The execution is here to stay

Rosanna and 40 cents
Rosanna was my schoolmate
Sharing the same classroom for four years
When we first met, I was afraid
Something of her that I feared
She’s bigger and taller
Beautiful like a mayflower
Looked at me like I was her little brother
But deep inside, treated me like her lover
We were together
Everywhere thereafter
Was talk of the school
It was cool
To be labeled
As the most ideal couple
What’s made me attractive to her?
My principality and discipline
60 cents a day given by mother
20 cents a day for fried banana and a drink

The Fall
The mist crosses
The lonesome ocean
With sporadic sighs
Making a huge comeback
Out of raining bullets
From sparkling stars
Taming turbulence isn’t a rarity
But a cup of coffee
Fishmongers maneuver fish laden tugs
Had flashback nightmares
The silence
That breaks dream
Out of casket
Suddenly
The mountain that stands tall
Behind the horizon
Stops vomiting its minerals
Open the path of adoration
Commences

My new year enigma
Tell me… Mama
Should I be born into this world?
To witness mankind annihilated by mankind?
In the name of survival
They mongered it would’t be a matter
That was the root of struggle
To annex who is better
Tell me … Mama
Should I be born into this world?
To witness mankind perished by mother natures?
The winds aren’t friendly
The earths are shaky
The ocean could be deadly
The weather is sometimes so nasty
The hole in the sky is so unpredictably
Millennium after millennium

Suicide
Martini on the rocks
Spilled over the tabletop
Wetting the Oakwood
Like a chemical spillage
Another stunned moment
The vacant chairs
Wondered, why on earth
The spill ever took place
No one has attended to the beverage
Since the long leftover
If someone had needed someone
To feel lively, then the Martini
Shouldn't have spilled out
And abandoned without an enthusiast
Damage has been done indiscriminately
Nothing was perfect
When nothing went wrong
The Martini was just another victim
Of circumstances
Ironically, the other patrons
