A shot in the dark
I wish I could get to the end of the space
Lean by its edge; seeing all, right on my face,
Not just the stars and rocks, but to visualize
All the possibilities life can realize…
Maybe I would realize things wide off the mark
And not by blind faith nor whistles in the dark
Aside religions are there aliens up there
Or is it only tailored here on this sphere?
I stay rooted on earth, but I smell a rat
Though imaginary but it is a fact
For answers to be gotten, the end of space
Would have an interpretation of our faith.
But my fate wouldn’t take me to space to smell
The rum, raspberry, gunpowder and steak seared,
Nor unravel the mystery of darkness,
Light’s untold purpose and everything else.

Discovery at Adulthood
We were not poor, we were not rich
We never had a net without a fish
Neither did we have the heaviest box
But what mum prepared satisfied us.
I saw my parents as the world’s richest
For, everyday seem to be harvest
We had not the sharpest tool in shed
But we made memories that never fades.
I was never the sharp knife in drawer
But they inspired me to go on further
All along I felt my dad could buy a jet
And it all a wind chase for many years.
My parents hid the real world from me
They provided all of my dare needs
And never did their struggling face show
Or things they went through so I can glow.

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.

Team humanity
We are on a field playing as a team called humanity.
Each one of us makes up the chain linking our communities.
Though the field is vain, the dust always change down generations.
But the progress we make thus far is not a pride to mention.
We seem not to flow, our teamwork is low, we have never grown.
Yet each of us point fingers as if we are all alone.
As the day dawns and the sun set we fall deeper in the hole.
If we fix our mind we will break limits and double our goals.
The greed in us makes us keep our lanterns from oil,
In total darkness we pollute our soil and make life to boil…
If only we knew the heights we shall climb with selflessness
Perhaps we would embrace kindness and endless goodness.
To get this new norm we should apply love with full empathy
Raising the standards redefining breathe and humanity
Creating chances that ignites the mind from limitations…
For we are all one and the same, and not a competition.

Hazel’s Diary: Cutting
Adorable in my arms
Adorable how time flies…
Innocent and tender
With poop stinking diapers
Tooth fairy should merry
Rejoicing new entry
So frequent poop arise
Discomfort yet no cries
Panics build up in mum
Over the swollen gums
Where twin erupting roots
Acquires greater feet
The growing incisors
Will cut meats like scissors
Can’t wait for your charm
To show in brand new smile.

The fleshes and bones of mothers
The crazy wild thoughts of a young girl
Would paint her to grey as hot as hell
Till dawn birth new phase called motherhood
Mentality clinch unlikelihood
Of returning back to as it were
Before the balloon was blown to swell
Respect mothers both in light and dark
Try to feel scars and web of stretch marks,
Rags she wears for her kids to look nice
Blooming, embarking on trips called life
Hold her scalp and extra fats she gained
Then you will understand abysmal pain.
