Lizard

Always nodding yes
Even falling down the tree
Giving thanks all time

Grasses

Looking so stunted
Adding a fertilizer
Greenish it grows tall

Cows lean without it
Having been grazed on grasses
They look beautiful

My Future

Calm
Mute
Sober
Just alone
Drifting in my thoughts
Curious about my own future
Cos I hope not to disappoint me and family

Sleeping

Eyes
Closed
Sleeping
Lying death
Dreams making us roll
Hoping to wake up tomorrow
So we can fulfil all the plans we made yesterday

Snakes

Snakes are dangerous
Looking slimy on the ground
Their poison larger

Don't dare be bitten
Lest they transfer their venom
Such dangerous fluid

Need not be told here
Cos haikus are very short
Meet it in the bush

Lacking Courage

Still in my world
My world of segregation
Thinking aloud
Without my knowledge
Saying I’m so separated
From the world of others

Here a crippled man
Sitting besides me
Just murmur out some words
Saying if he had what i have
The world would have been his

But here I am
With all it takes physically
Talking nonsense to his ears
Lamenting for my inability
To do what I can
Just lacking courage

I left with tears
Rolling down my cheeks
For my inability
To recognise me
But someone out there
Knows me than I do

Am I a cow?
That knows it
Tail validity
When it loses it?

Me In Your Eyes

Seeing me in your eyes
I reach the highest of all
Myself will be in the sky
Flying with the angels

I will always want to wonder
How such power have you
Giving the lightening without thunder
So can I fly with a shine of light

Your power of changing a total me
Never allow me want to leave you
For a sensible man will always be
Close by your side to feel all these

You’ve turn me into a stubborn child
Not obeying my parents’ command
Using the smile that looks so mild 
Intoxicating my inner soul

I went to the bad books and look
In mind hoping to see your written name
That you are a girl with invisible hook
Who can catch the soul of men 

Not at all did I see you
So I have made up my mind
To hand over myself to you
Play safe with it and let me feel

All they say will be in vain
Cos I can’t stop flying with angels
Who wanna go back to pain?
With my head on my shoulder

Be My Love

Will you ever be my lover?
I'm just a simple straight boy
I play nothing undercover
Promise all thing except nothing

With the hope that is in me
If all they tell me is true
Paradise is where we ought to be
And no stress we'll pass through

I put it up in you all my love
You hold me with all thyself
With no work in the wharf
We swim all day loving ourselves

Allow me give it all to you
Putting you up for the world to see
The things that a love can do
Dining both on land and in the sea

All wants and needs will be yours
Both home and in sojourn
No time shall you knock on the doors
All ways are open with your hand

You promise to keep me high
Even with the little I have
Keep your promise so it won't be lie
'Cause my trust I sold to you

Planning First

Waking up in the morning
I see the bright new day
Yesterday plans on my mind
Cos I need not let myself astray

To meet up with my daily plans
Here I have to walk away
Leaving other things behind
Pretending as if I won’t dare

My ignorance I take as a bliss
Feeling sorry for all my mistake
Lack of knowledge might have cause it
All the punishment you give, I’ll take

Please temper justice with mercy
All my works is to build our future
So we can smile then till eternity
Leaving behind all the rules of nature

No one else can share in my love for you
Not even my work can distract me
Ignoring you just to build our paradise
So then we can go there to be
