Ancient big building
One look at thousand of years
Red wall, white snow.

Frendship's Edifice
Friendship's edifice should never be built in haste
Because much time we need to put each stone in place
Then solid and strong shall be and would look sublime
Ready to, surely, withstand the harsh test of time!

I Build My Edifice With Words
For words were my clays and in wisdom they were burnt
The Potter the mighty One his clays He tender to
smoothen that they be made into shapes
4:1 Hear, ye children, the instruction
of a father, and attend to know
understanding. 4:2 For I
give you good doc
Forsake ye not
my law.
4:3
The edifice of my mind

Edifice
My body is an office block?
There are streets between my toes?
My heart just another floor,
?I couldn't help but notice ?
I'm wearing antenna thorns.
?
My insides have closing doors.?
There are carpets floor to floor?
My windows are my eyes ?
Can I see through a hundred eyes??
My lungs are air-conditioned, so my breath is always cold.
?
They build you

Artifice To Edifice
Oh how we value artifice;
Indeed we'll bow and 'scrape'
Upon a stage of the falsest rage We hang;
on every word and break
The props are real to viewers
the plots we know by heart
They’re lionized and idolised
most people of these arts
We imbue them with much value
Though some are not so good.'
There seems an understanding
That

The Edifice of Happiness
Only when,
The edifice of happiness,
Is:
Conceived,
Designed,
Built
And
Maintained
By
Wisdom
And
Supervised by unselfishness
Could
Withstand the test of time!

The Heart of the Edifice
The Heart of The Edifice
In the midst of the forest
Of skeletal trees, green cedar, pine,
and brush is the thickest
Standing so tall and blissful
Enduring weathering and erosion that slowly chisels,
Earth's rock into ever evolving work of art
A rock structure that use to be the heart
Of the edifice where long time recurrence
Of lives that

Hubris of the Edifice
As if Narcissus could look
Into a weeping pool
Yet still on reflection fall in love
The ancient tears, which were gathered there
Around the puddle of our history
In silent memoriam
And what the heart does not see
And when the eyes refuse to see
They bury conscience in constructions of fake mythologies
Behold this instant of gratification
The grinning desperate smiles of satisfaction
A

Fabrication Edifice
They asked me what I wanted
For they would bestow it to me
But to be unambiguous in what I wanted
I wanted a yellow house
Painted in canary yellow
With a neat white trim all over.
With the most triangular angularity
Painted in the queerest brightness of white
In the front wall was to be a huge window
The most mammoth window
Carefully frosted
Depicting
