Reasons to run (IV)
Oh what an ecstasy
To cry rivers in sleep,
Taking bullets from guns
And tears; yet, not move on.
If I bleed and still dance
And see no other chance
Other than to remain
And watch my own remains
I must have so fallen
So deep in the honey
But; I pray not to find
Such a love truly blind.

Reasons to run (III)
Dead is melody without chemistry,
Running away fixes such broken pieces,
Providing a shade for the past to fade,
I just can not die, for a love not mine
It is like a train, travelling derailed
I get off the ride, that is not in stride.

Reasons to run (II)
Something can buy a soul
And make it all to glow
And the heart’s currency
Is love, why can’t you see?
Well, cupid close its eye
Love is a rather die
When it is rightly use
As a muse not misused
Don’t be a straight tree
In love that is unreal,
If it uproots the seeds
And it makes you to bleed,
Running away can stop
The tears that may drop.

Reasons to run (I)
From the point I see;
Viewing the blue sea
Fishes swim freely
But some are silly
Drowning into tracks
Of hooks and sharks.
I am not saying
That love is worthless
I still remember
Love is forever,
But the brave ones die
And foolish ones lie,
When cupids beguile
And leaves scars behind.

Blown to go
Like floating feathers in the air
Lovely we always will appear
Some are higher touching the sky
Some just spread out their wings to fly.
Others are fighting to be light
Obviously none is ever right
Like floating feathers in the air
Lovely we always will appear.
Whether we are, or not off the ground
When it gets to our turns and rounds
Like floating feathers in the air
Lovely we always will appear.
Like floating feathers in the air
Lovely we always will appear
Till gravity draws us to floor
This life is not balance at all.

A painter called Earth
All memoirs fade, and goes with breath
Allowing more heads to grace the earth
Till time wash the memories off
There are wonders in paint and brush.

Sonnet: Losing touch
Once upon a time, we were blank
Out of an art, experience sank
We had bath and dance in the rain
We cut cakes and acted insane
There was this feeling that we had
Taking us places from our minds
Body to body, current flew
By desire our hearts we drew
Young and agile, fast we ran
Yeah! we felt all can’t was can
Love was fresh, until we forgot
Love we lost and the pains we felt
Time ran fast, gradually we blank
The act and rain water we drank.

Question by the graveyard
I wonder where babies come from
I wish they could beat their drums
We will not wonder where to go
When withered and covered in holes.
Since none of us forever stays
So will I be wrong if I say
We all were never here on earth
Worrying over how death felt.

Cruel case of mankind
On a special day, breathe we found
Of course yes, we must have cried
We did not know when we were born
Worries were not ours, we were young.
As life may, we followed the tide
And do not know when we will die
Though some may luckily bid bye
The stream of tears never runs dry.

Beauty of parenthood
If you are looking for beauty
By the corner of parenthood
Teary views will overwhelm you.
Beauty is joy forever
And it includes the flattened tubes
And garments made from torn pieces.
If you are looking for beauty
By the corner of parenthood
Teary views will overwhelm you
The pot tummy and the stretch marks,
Extra size that never goes back
And the gradual loss of hair strands.
If you are looking for beauty
By the corner of parenthood
Teary views will overwhelm you
Innocent frames of the newborns
Heads on mum’s arms sucking with pride
Or the sleeping head on Dad’s back.
If you are looking for beauty
By the corner of parenthood
Teary views will overwhelm you
Watching them grow into adults
I wonder what beauty could be
When it is the only skin deep.
