THANK YOU
You melt my heart
When I was stone
You open my eyes
When I was blindfold
You gave me wings
Now I can fly
You gave meanings
When I look at the sky
Thank You

DEMETER OF PERSEPHONE
nay hades not for ye
glass of sand wounded me never
nay demeter pull ye not
for persephone shall resurface
for thy spirit is theseus
by the axe thee slew periphetes
thrown sciron into the cliff of the turtle
parted procustes from the limbs
say not medea of forked tongues
black ship shall sail to crete
beast of minos fell by the horn
dare not dionysus lay the claim
for aradne thy crown to retain

CARVING THE GORGE
scrapes of stones
granites my ozone
the molten chunk
solidified and hardened
yet breath of willow
breezes whispers of soul
no longer spilling the spell
but chiseled, are the walls
and the name that lingers
now carved onto the gorge
forever, it will stay there...

LIFE IS LIFE
Of the bed of roses
Where the buds wither before they bloom
Life is life
Of the light of stars
Where the ray eclipses into the vacuum
Life is life
Of the comfort of sleepers
Where the tremor shakes solitary room
Life is life
From the top of the mountains
And from the depth of the oceans
From there...
Life...
Is still life
Those wandered lost in the cave
And those triumphed out from the maze
For them...
Life...
Is still life

When the sky is so blue
Or when it is the gloomiest hue
Yes, even those times
Life is still life

SHICHI
Sprouting in the ground
Away from the peeping eye
Survival on the scarlet soil
Then in the mother's womb
Sense and sensation
Tangerine of imagination
Always in the sun vessel
Smug by the strength
Sunset by the endurance
And in the beating lump
Spreading the joy from above
Forest that glue every turfs
Up in the gullet
Exchanging the meanings
Ocean whom continents it links
Don't forget the veiled iris
Spear of the mystics
Woad to help you seek

Controlling everything below

I'D RATHER SLUMBER
I'd rather slumber
Than seeking it forever
I'd rather lay down
Than holding to what's gone
I'd rather sip the breeze
Than charging back to mist
I'd rather slumber
Stepping the past error
I'd rather lay down
Not turning around
I'd rather sip the breeze
There's nothing that I miss

ESCALATION
Escalation to the high mist
To the majestic burning balls
Beyond the oval spiral path
Existed from smokes and dust
Gliding through septa arcs
Of septa shines and septa lights
Feeling the septa vibration
Soothing the septa vision
Elevation to the rabbit rock
A mirror knows no stop
Never blind ever so gleaming
Smoothen the dark by the glint
Sailing through the whisper of life
Whispering the joy at your rise
Whisper that caress a bruised heart
As it whispers all day and night
8/8/2019 ABC of Emotions

SCENT
The lingering around
Keeping me abound
Only the fragrance
No light nor sound
Your presence in scent
Binding my momentary stance
Freezing in the astound
You're alive in remembrance

AS LONG AS...
As long as there is a dream
I'll draw a fantasy into life
As long as there is a seed
I'll grow a bark into forest
As long as there is a rainbow
I'll shine a prism into mirage
As long as there is a stone
I'll carve a boulder into monument
As long as there is a droplet
I'll stream a drip into lagoon
As long as there is a mist
I'll weave a cloud into canopy
As long as...
I surely will...

EMPTYING THE BUCKET
The wild beast in the white cage
scratching the claws on the red soil
howling for freedom
roaring to wander
to fly towards the brightest sun
And wailing wind blew past
ripping apart the pearly bars
behold! the beast is out
let it rove the dream land
the land that it desired
And so the dam became empty
and the drums stopped beating
yet the world seemed so full
and so beautiful
the bucket is emptied
the burden is lifted...
I kissed the ground
and stared at the sun
one day, I'll be there

TRUTH HURTS BUT LIES KILL
Give me a good news to smile
Give me truth not seamed with a lie
Give me something that I can rely
Give me the stars, not the firefly
Hand me a cup of kindness and care
Hand me on a plate that I can bear
Hand me the answer to this nightmare
Hand me the portion that I share
Tell me what's wrong with this picture
Tell me why black just became blacker
Tell me what crushed the amber
Tell me why I suffocate in my chamber
Deceive gives no comfort
But spread the ill
Truth might hurt
But lies will kill

WASN'T IT ME
When you lost your light
And your world so dark
You were in sadness and fright
Wasn't it me who sat beside?
When you entered the wrong aisle
Joy now you knew it wasn't real
You were blinded which is vital
Wasn't it me that you strangled?
When you decided to live on lies
You inflicted pain lows and highs
Bleeding at the end of your very knives
Wasn't it me who still gave you smiles?
After all those pain and fear
Isn't it me who's still here?
And now you found your way forward
Isn't it me you just slaughtered?

TO THE CONDOR
I lay my mat to the condor
Amidst chimes above my door
The tick is stopping, I would let go
I tie my shoe to yesterday's dream
Wiping the spill over the brim
Chasing it out by shriek and scream
I refuse to burden i refuse to hold
The stinking corpse was not my gold
The ugly past was never my mold
Bridge that burnt, raft that stormed
Twice shy, twice been wronged
Empty nests, lack of pigeons
So I lay my mat to the condor
Digging everything out to the flow
The ticking stopped, I'm letting go

PRIORITY
Last to be picked
At the bottom of the stack
At the end of the queue
Something of no value
When it's here
You lifted and you threw
When it's gone
It won't bother you
Something of no value
It'd be too late to say
You cared all the way
When what you hold today
Out of your hand, far away
Last to be picked
At the bottom of the stack
At the end of the queue

TRUSTING THE UNTRUSTED
I'd hide the corpse with canvas
And the wound with cloth
I'd wipe the tears with a curve
And say everything is alright
I'd wear the mask to hide my face
And my black swollen eyes
I'd stay lost in this maze
And find my way in the starlight
I'd carry this pain with me
And bear it to infinity
I'd burden all the hurt within
And holding on left and right
I'd try to put my trust in you
And crying as I do
I'd try finding loyalty in untrusted you
And hoping for miraculous sight
Trusting you...
Trusting the Untrusted...

THROW ME AWAY
Did I tell you how you make me feel?
Like an old toy floating in the sea
While the wave pushes me further adrift
Into what seems like an eternity
Waiting for someone who needs company
This game is something I failed to see
When I chose where I wanted to be
Now I don't know what is real
When you stay or when you flee
You giggle, you laugh cheerfully
I opened my eyes I saw solitary
Around me I can't see your glee
Do you really think that you own me?
Did you think that when you...
You pick me up
You throw me me away
We could fight as much as we may
You pick me up
You throw me away
We'll just make up another day
You picked me and now you throw me...
Away...
8/8/2019 ABC of Emotions
24/79
Did I tell you what you make me think?
Like an old toy stench and stink
An eyesore even to a blink
Waiting for the end of this hellish dream
The bore in my chest that you reamed
And you called it one of my stint
Closing your lid to this bleeding
It's spilling along the brim
When you turn and you grin
Plugged off from my scream
Yesterday you healed the wound clean
And now you jab another sting
You own me, is that what you think?
Did you think that when you...
You pick me up
You throw me me away
We could fight as much as we may
You pick me up
You throw me away
We'll just make up another day
You picked me and now you throw me...
Away...

OUT IN THE FIELD
Out in the field
The ground ain't flat
Squeezing my every will
Fell on my back
Oh so gray this field
The ground where I step
Often that I kneel
Again I get up back
Why this scorching field
As the sun be my hat
Dreams seem so real
Yet truth still in wrap

THE MORSE OF REMORSE
In the Morse of remorse
The boulders of gross
Grind my teeth
and clench my fist
Ain't no mountain ain't no range
Crust moves by the quaking drain
It ain't gonna stay, never!
The birds that flew
The wind that follow
Stunned and uncontrolled
Scarred, the hideous clot
Slur the curse
Dread to rehearse
One after one
Said and undone
Light that shone over the dawn
At dusk it will be gone
Barge of rust cut across
Web the flow drag the anchors
Grab and grip at the knot
Slick spit threading the rope
Vibrating air hitting the drums
Nothing but hollow rhymes!
8/8/2019 ABC of Emotions
27/79
Sickening!
Ark that left the harbor
There's no wind but oak of row
That quest to the stone
To the mirror should be thrown
Like fire meets the gas
And citrus on open flesh
All around to disperse
Three sixty it scatters
Wiping clean nothing stay
Puff the phlegm into the haze
Back to the Morse
The Morse of remorse
!!!!

AS THE SAND FALL
As the sand fall into the bottom glass
As the grain fills the cavity with mass
I am tending to my own wound, unrest
But every second is a new hurt
Every moment I'm hitting the dirt
For the feeling you refuse to convey
For the words you refuse to say
As the sand fall like a high torrent
As the grain reminds me of my torment
I am tending to my own wound, lament
But every second is a new stump
Every moment I'm numbing the lump
For the feeling you refuse to convey
For the words you refuse to say

DISPLEASED CHAMELEON
Why am I red
when I'm out in the field?
Why am I blue
when I'm clinging in the forest?
Why am I green
when I'm swimming in the sea?
Layered pigment betrayed me
Gleeful iris tricked me
Gland of mucous lied to me
A displeased chameleon

THUS WHY DECEIVE?
How simple it is to make believe
Yet there is no relieve
When you are bereaved
The very end to achieve
All the tricks up your sleeve
When in the moment of breve
The truth is there to retrieve
But sadly in that grieve
By the darkest of the eve
That what you perceive
Only the shortest of reprieve
How can it be so naive
Of the lies that are cleaved
They only paint to peeve
To those who receive

BEACON OF NOWHERE
Trailing the beacon of nowhere
Disoriented by the broken hull
The light that must be somewhere
Turned out void
Offering null
The song of the gull
And rhythm of the sea
Was is all just a dream
Or is real
But ceased to be
By the sight of the beacon
By the sight of the land
By the sight of the hope
To end this strand of the beaten
To step onto where trust withstand
To knot by the end of the rope
The beam and its ambience
Forsaken the retreat to the silence
And the beacon of nowhere
Deceptively shines when eyes stare

I DON'T KNOW
I don't know what should I say
I don't know what ticked me this way
I don't know what lead me astray
I don't know what made me stay
I don't know what did I see
I don't know what would I be
I don't know what came to me
I don't know what was the key
I don't know what turned me real
I don't know what was my deal
I don't know what froze me still
I don't know what spun my wheel
I don't know what sent me far
I don't know what split me ajar
I don't know what lighted my star
I don't know what bleed my scar
I don't know what did I know
I don't know what swung my row
I don't know what was this for

BY THE BRANCHES
Like mistletoe to the bare oak
Like water to the leaking boat
Like air to the null vacuum
Like light to the dark room
Like grass to the open field
Like shark to the juicy seal
Like bee to the nectarous bloom
Like germ to the open wound
Like dirt to the clean shoe
Like heat to the exposed dew
There are sure things in life
Less you tried to break the ice
To stand I have to rise
But I'm holding by the branches
Holding by the weaken branches...

THE MAN IN THE MIRROR
8/8/2019 ABC of Emotions
41/79
I looked into the mirror
and saw an old man I didn't know
lying on the floor
gasping for breath
I stared at the the face
"why is thy gloom?"
"hath thou bear trouble?"
he cried to me "save me please!"
I looked deeper into the mirror
and saw a kid on his knees
blood over his limbs
tears in his eyes
laughter from his lips
I stared at the face
"who art thou?"
he screamed at me "look at me!"
I closed my eyes
surrendered to the darkness
and wind back the continuum space
there were horns on my head
ringed with glittering halo
there were wings on my back
of fire and icicles

When I opened my eyes
I looked into the mirror
and saw myself, the 'me' that I know...

RAINBOW
Seven bridges in the sky
Seven arcs before the dry
Seven hues soothing the eye
Seven bridges that I see
Seven arcs all so real
Seven hues come to me
Seven bridges will you stay
Seven arcs the floating ray
Seven hues after the gray
Seven bridges at my dusk
Seven arcs always too scarce
Seven hues will not last
Seven bridges before the light
Seven arcs chase the dark
Seven hues close to my heart

LIKE A CHILD
Tumbling blocks crushing blockades
Maze that washed to brown
O the scale shattered by the gates
Swapping dusk and dawn
Amplitude beneath the scarlet
Refract nowhere near the gold
Beyond threshold might be the maggot
Place the hope onto mast and row
I feel like a child...

THE THRONE
The throne of icicles
Cold spikes ups and downs
Void of heat
Vacuum of life
Who's the king of that crown?
Who's going to bear
The pain sans heir
When nightingale sings
And breeze of odor wind
Scent that lingering
When the owl scowl
And wolves howl
The stinks so foul
Then who's the king of that crown?
Who's going to suffer
Inflicted upon the throne

TRACING THE WINDING TRAIL
How many years have it been?
since I scaled my will on this very path
carved my dream on this very heart
and heart of yours
your souls where I pay my tribute
and my debt of gratitude
How many years have it been, friends?
since we planted the seed
of the creeping shrub?
Here I am, out to trace
the long lost trail that we grazed
searching for the same willow
once I saw from my window
May along this road
I'll see the me, the very me
That I used to be

I KNOW...
I know its futile to try
I know I could never fly
Even if I'm the cloud giving rain
The desert will always return to dry
And I know its really useless
To end up feeling breathless
While denying the constant pain
Living life that is lifeless
I know the oceans are blue
Though I tried to paint it new
Drown again and again
In the wave of the same hue
Amidst the mirage I wander
Amidst the illusion truth asunder

IN THE CUPBOARD
Hideous and disgusting
A secret tightly locked
Darker, even than nullified light
No eyes shall be rested on the face
No sense should catch the stench
No soul should know the existence
No mind should be allowed to ponder upon
Hideous and disgusting
Skeleton in the cupboard
Never shall you step outside
Hold on tight
Live with your might
With you, burdened the shame
Ripping through the name
Skeleton, inside the cupboard

PINHEAD
Rewind the fabric
Peep at the burns
Ranges that were static
Between the flame turns
Dunce of a pinhead holding the lanterns
Anchor a moment while
In this new harbor
Nay, not for a smile
When lighted is the fire
Fool of a pinhead clinging in dire
Storm and the hail
Crushing green serenity
Sun of no avail
Cracked, seamed dignity
Dumb of a pinhead blinding reality

Gain will not that you think you own

Elongating is no more

FLAG OF THE CLOUD
I've swam across the torrents
I've jumped across the ravines

So I can weave the linings
So I can knot on my pole
So I can wave the flag

THE GARGOYLE'S SEED
8/8/2019 ABC of Emotions
60/79
As I'm watching...
yet the totem fell apart
into the red larva beneath
suffocated amidst the fumes
yet the larva settled at last
cultivate the new land
for a gargoyle to bury its seed
yet came shooting a strong bark
shades of leaves for rovers
breezes of wind for vagabonds
yet the flowered branches never bear
blooms withered, and peeking out again
nothing fell for the feed
yet new seeds pushing their way
through the petals and spores
only to die halfway
yet fruit of longing will not grow
for it was destined to sleep
or fall into the fire

OF ICARUS AND ATHENA
Oh the lump of beating flesh
What say you to this?
Why did you strayed off the willed path?
Didn't you hear the scream...
From the one behind the temple and eyes?
Oh the whites beyond forelock
What say you to this?
Why did you let go of the leashed dog?
Don't you remember the scream...
From the wounds behind the clock?
Let the swan glide in the grace
Crystal lake, like no other place
Let the crow me return to alleys
Filthy bins, where I live lowly
I am Icarus
Dreaming of Athena
Yet my wax feathers
Could never reach the sky

1431
It's the beginning for things that begin
It's the ending for things that end
For some it's a dawn for a new morning
For others it's a dusk for the day that went
As for me, I want to start anew
For what I did that I'd rather not do
Not that I detest what I've been through
Only the changes are somewhere due
I'd like to step further on the ground
Letting go of the past I can be nothing but strong
For the principals I've been holding on
Might not be right but who determines what is wrong?
Like every wound time will heal
Nothing will change while standing still
Being resolute cementing my will
The sun is down it's time to seal
It's the beginning of something that begins
It's the end of something that ends

LESSON
Someone's loss is some other's gain
Give a cat a diamond is an attempt in vain
But your leftovers will ease its pain
You saw the sand when you stepped upon
Someone might see glistening silicon
You can't see what you'd rely on
The stone that you threw away
Can be the one you crave someday
What you give you'd get back
But the card you put in the sack
Won't come back into the deck
Yesterday when you made a mistake
Is a lesson for you to take
Today is to be cautious
Before you lose another precious
If you walk the same path
You'll face the same wrath

NOTHING HAS CHANGED
Another hole dug
Inside the valley
Another rock blown
Onto the mountain
Another rain fell
Into the ocean
A mere hole...
It won't change the flowing river
A mere rock...
It won't stop the blowing wind
A mere rain...
It won't flood the stretching continent
And the river
Still streaming its torrent of hope
And the wind
Still whispering the breeze of joy
And the continent
Still containing the life of dream
And nothing has changed

FOUNDRY
So I ponder
Which crossings diverted the sight
Which stones marked with illusion
Which presumptions blinded the sense
And I turn
Looking back over the hills
Peeking beyond the cliffs
Sighting over the oceans
Yet I see
What was a chainmail now mere cotton
What was a ladder now mere string
What was a musket now mere marble
Then I resolute
To stand where the line started
To crouch where the prints smeared
To run where the gun blew
Let me lend a hand
To erase the fear and doubts
To smudge the indecisive roots

THE SUN SHINES THROUGH
Piece by piece,
I cracked them open
Bits by bits
I chipped them stones
come wide, come tall
faith is my forte
the darkest of the wall
is nothing but rigid clay
piece by piece
and bits by bits
grit my teeth
clench my fists
let everything cracks open
chipped into stones
let the sun shines through
and the sun will shine through

JUST ANOTHER MOUNTAIN
Hey look!
A new mountain to pass
standing in my way
like the ones I climbed before
So spread the news to my limbs
tell the hands to powder the grip
and the legs to steel the feet
Because here we are
at the feet of rockiest mountain
yet larger, and yet steeper
unlike any other
And tell the spine, the guts and the thighs
tell them don't be afraid to die
No matter what turbulent or pain
it is just another mountain

MONOTONOUS WORLD
Simmer in the summer
Rays those I wander
Split one and all
In this monotonous world
Cicadas in my head
Pulsing breath vaporing red
Lift the chin to stand stall
In this monotonous world
At the crossroad stood freezing
Dice in fist tightly gripping
Granite that was pearl
In this monotonous world

THINGS LEFT BEHIND
Mountains those climbed
Rocks those scaled
And cliffs those fell from
Are rivers those dammed
Forests those bared
Flats those dug
Those things left behind
Shrapnels of broken words
Truth like summer blossoms
Betrayal in the crimson spills
Are things left behind
Once left the bow
Flint head soaring through
And feathers that follow
No turning, neither twisting
Forward is the only motion
Those things left behind
Distant curses behind the curtain
Carcasses in the tunnel
Puppeteer smiled behind the mask

WHAT YOU SEE WHAT YOU SAW
What you see
Is swelling within me
What you saw
Left me in awe
If what you see
Is what should it be
If what you saw
Diverted all in all
Then what you see
Is the towering tree
Then what you saw
The seed when its raw
