Love as a poem
Love as a poem
My friend says it’s a rosary
To think that love is full of mystery
Also it’s like a fantasy
But one thing that is for sure it lives in reality
Love is like a poem
It’s a feelings for you to feel
It’s a full of memories that strikes us evenly
Because love is an unending story of reality
Love is like a poem
That makes our lives colorful
Yet it reveal yet different meaning
Like the love we shared, my little darling
Oh try to imagine
The love -the love as a poem

Thousands of expression
Thousands of expression
Silence consumed enthroned himself
In-robe gesture and no one cared
The sound from the fallen leaf
For sometimes word cannot be heard,
Alone the nave where minstrel play
The ballad of wilderness where cedars grew
Colorful vestment flew to thin air it sway
But hallow bells cannot speak but awe;
To the shadow cast from the east of Eden
Whence life begun but end to empty hole
Heed him from them who mock the garden
But something happened that day, that fall,
Somebody took the cup and shared to him again
Broke and ate bread to seek happiness not chain.

Naked I am before The Author of Life
-the child of nature’s birth and death
Imperfect I am before The Great Mind
-the child of passion’s limited to earth
Rebellious I am before The Truth
-the child of desire clothe with pride
Vicious I am before The Law
-the child of deceit and endless lies
Avaricious I am before The Master of All
-the child of corrupt and distorted image of life
Nauseous I am before The Ancient One
-the child of folly, ignorant antagonist

Well-Wisher
All alone in the road headed to north
Young fellow bringing with him a dream
To build a world of words breathe of his youth
The unheard myth, navel of human race
Story of giants and dwarfs the individual mask
Or perhaps fairies and nymphs face of disgrace
The unfold legend of a jester playing the jack
Morrow will fall forbid the juvenile face
To see the un-viewed history of yesteryears
With pride and prejudice the cruelty of men
While they say that was and is a curse
The same to live through where and when
Writer of truth all were life’s composition
Fullness of dreams to be known out of his reflection

Disease And Poverty
disease and poverty
Every time I saw him
I have this guilt feeling
From the complaining
Of my life, again and again
What can I do?
I can’t turn back the time
And change, redirect me
Away from the fate’s crime
The 24 hours or more
Of heavy toil
In sweat and blood and all
The fatigue and torture
Where can I go?
This is the only place

Youth's nightmare
Sweet surrender on the river side
In the morning to the shadow of moon dust
Near and far misses the Dog Star
That used to collect the youth here and there
A Frog Horn blown wild and cold
For you to remember the river side
Up come a coaster fast yet silent in the night
No money in the jacket and in the jeans’
To give for any ticket for a ride to hide
See them now on the railway remember all was
They walk into the darkness cast from the light
Time no longer a glance indeed a chance of joy
Think too many yeas was in
that scene from the river side
Melancholy a fear of yesteryears
Remember the offer that I would say
But sure not that man I used to be
Since knew you quite different as the river flow

Inferiority
Inferiority
Experience which convince me
that I am not as good as the other
And consequently not to belong with them
if not best as they are
It seems a feeling of humiliation
especially if they make fan out of me
Such experience someone controls me
causes pain and delight in my misery
And these are common ‘jokes’
that leads me into my inferiority
However the fear was masked and heed inside
a withdrawal from my humanity
This feeling is not stranger in me
yet this is the cause of running away
Yet the far I am from me
the unprotected and vulnerable me-be

Lord of the Music
Lord of the Music
Some people tried to learn
the music they have heard
Others started to study its cord
but still it wouldn’t play
for their heads were so busy
rearranging the harmony
for their hearts were overwhelmed by the music
but they couldn’t get the melody
for they were preoccupied
adding notes and putting new words,
Some people are just too intelligent
directing the music and change its meaning;
Others put the music into category
to produce divided theory
of the Lord who started the legacy
of chorus who sung with him night and day;
of the Lord of the music himself played

Being a man needs time
Time to be educated and to be wise
Wise for his daily life to suffice
Being a man needs time
Time to raise his family
Family with loving wife who cares everyday
Everyday that makes him strong all the way
Being a man needs time
Time to dream for his child
Child that gives him delight
Delight for a child that made him a dad
Being a man needs time
Time to risk his life for a cause
Cause unknown to a man willing to die
To die for his family loving them day by day
Being a man needs time
