The Beauty of Time:A Poem of Many Haikus

The concept of time 
Intriguing in all our lives 
Especially mine 

Is time an object? 
Is it something to fool with? 
Can we transform it? 

Perhaps we cannot... 
Can we manage it? Indeed... 
Where does time take us? 

Into a new world...? 
A world where photos are old? 
Even where WE'RE old... 

When my time is up 
I shall wait... Just wait. That's it 
What happens after?

What a Small World

Oh dear, what life brings 
What a small world we live in 
Where life brings us next... 

...Well, that is unknown 
In time, we will understand 
For now, let it be 

Again I shall say, 
What a small world we live in... 
Life full of wonder

Living It Up Till I Die

To live or not to 
Right now I choose to live life... 
Live life to my max 

I won't stop till death 
My heart burns with a great thirst... 
A thirst for action 

Who's gonna stop me? 
I will never ever stop 
At least not today

A Light, a Darkness, a Place In Between

To look into your dimensions and find something...
To find something I've been looking for for a long long time
A light in your warm heart
Whereas, I have something dark in my mind and body 
I'm a person trying to seek the light... 
So I must be Twilight 
A greyish embrace in your arms

Not Quite What You Expected, Huh

I can see it 
The beauty... 
The kindness... 
The feeling...
The love... 
The butterflies I get...
When I'm around dogs... 

You are indeed giving this poem a queer look.

Don'T Overthink It

Zero Tolerance   
For all your half-assed plans 
From now on I do what I want 
I will go off what I feel is right   
I have no time for analyzing 
I need to FEEL now 
I need to LIVE now 
No more wondering how to play this straight 
I'll stare straight-faced, I won't hesitate 
See, why would I want to make you bastards wait   
Thank god I got this chance, now I can say  
"I'm gonna do what I WANT!"

Before Too Long

Before too long, I'll be older 
Before too long, I'll be stronger 
Before too long, I'll be faster 
Before too long, I'll see you in a whole new light 
Before too long, I'll be smarter 
Before too long, We'll all pass along 
Before too long, We'll see the light or the dark 
Before too long, We'll live peacefully in complete solace 
Before too long.... Our story will JUST begin

Reckless and the Brave

Long live the reckless and the brave 
I don't think I wanna be saved 
My song has not yet been sung 
So indeed Long Live US 
Long live this vicious little world that we live in 
I can never be saved 
From this world that haunts me 
So big and brutal... 
Long live the reckless and the brave
