Who I Am
Yes I know who I am
Mostly in a dense jam
Whether to cross over
To the free blue sky
Or to stay at anchor
The cage of ennui
Surrounded by
Some say protected too
By the attachments of affection
Ties hardened
In the enchanted garden
While I am still in a rift
Of agonizing conflict
The days and nights thus split
Half chained to the ground
Half craving for your looks profound
The bird keep pining
From the cage of bondage
Toward the boundless blue
Accumulates the dew
From your breath
Asking me to transcend
And blend with your smiles
For miles and miles
Into the infinite guile
To no end
I am afraid
In my head I lack courage
And come back
To the secured rice and potato
A chasm narrow
With no sky
This is I
