To err is human to forgive is divine

2015.4.13 @ 15:08:03

From time to time, I believed you had unintentionally caused me harm. 
I expressed and complained about them,
Then I forgave, forgot and moved on.
My favourite number was three,
I believed I did three big favours for you.
I also travelled with you three tourist places.
I always visit historic sites and country towns
During winter and when the weather is colder.
I did not tell you this because
I was not keen on making promises.
I might not please people easily,
But I definitely very careful not to offend people.
After all, I am only a common person, no body and no celebrity.
To err is human, to forgive is devine.
Will you ever forgive me if I offended you,
Which I could not recall any at all.

Your Highness

25.04.08

Can your Highness give more promises?
So much more that they can be broken,
Minute by minute, day after day for decades.

Can your Highness stay away?
So far that I can't see your face,
That will really make my day.

Can your Highness make me blind?
So blind I can not see any lies.

Can your Highness make me deaf?
So deaf I can't hear a word what was said.

Can your Highness give me darkness,
So dark I need no more cover,
All the heinous behaviours in the world.

Can your Highness drown me in the stream?
Where it can wash away all my dreams.

Can your Highness grant me calmness?
So I won't react every time I was upset.

Can your Highness be nice and fair?
To prove you meant when you said you care.

Can your Highness hold me in your arms?
So when I was harmed, I can remain being calm.

Can your Highness forgive me?
For making your Highness
Out of your way to help me. 

Can your Highness do me a favour?
A favour your Highness never done before.
Leave me alone to end all my sufferings.

Can your Highness please,
If you love me let me free,

Now your Highness has destroyed all the friendships,
They ended and can never be mended.


Kite Like That

The life of a loner is equivalent to a lost kite
Viewable from all angles, 
Yet the finer details remain obscure
Floating away from grasps of the common person
Many do not prioritize viewing a lost kite 
Like the kite, the loner is miles away from companionship
The constant wind gust are quite brutal

To Money

To money
With your power you do many a thing
Like rocking monarchs who ruled over the land
Powerful as you have passed into dust
Rich or poor depend on you for a grand

You seem reaching the needy walking on
Cores of hopes gleam upon many faces
Smile soon disappears when you move away
This is happening since long in races

Do you play games? Ask a common person
You never stood on your legs with any
You may be habituated to wheels
Never mind we if you stay or move on

Enough of you we enjoyed though tested
Won’t you make us live a happy life?
Look carefully into those struggling eyes
Enrich with abundance complimented
Form: Ode

The Common Day

We live today by the commonality of our virtues. Virtues are things we
seldom think about but use within every second of time on our focus of
life. The choices made from the moments we awake to even in our
dreams. Virtues are what give us the energy to continue life's
motions. I, as a common person, find myself facing new virtues
everyday. I find new virtues growing within my soul daily. To
understand what it takes to fulfill our daily lives with grace means
understanding ones inner self. The start of ones life gives us the
negative aspects, called birth, before we understand the world around
us. Like the parents before them our parents began to shelter and
enforce our dependency, thus shaping our virtues. The virtues begin to
form silently from the first time we focus on an object in this common
world.


Sexual Confusion

Maybe I want to go down this street?
   The light is red but I am constantly
   hesistating. What is wrong with me? 
   Maybe nothing. I feel so unusal compared
   to the common person. They all look at 
   me differently. Hey I even look at myself
   funny. Painful memories of things I wish
   I could do. Maybe they expect me to kiss 
   or hold hands with someone who is opposite
   my sex. I don't know if that's what I want,
   I don't know if their's a chance for me.
   I heard their is a whole world who will embrace 
   me. A world that doesn't always go in a circle. 
   A world that doesn't always see in a straight line.
   If these feelings are wrong please tell me why I crave
   them?
