I gulp a flame of desire
At the sight of your ecclesiastical attire
Being proxy for a pacifier
That elicits a comfort for my quagmire

Your smile, your smile 
A sun in a darkened profile
A moon that illuminates the...

Amidst salary challenges, hardship's sway,
Her parents toiled, their sweat and tears,
To forge a brighter future, calm all fears.

Like phoenix rising, she emerged anew,
Her choices bold, as if the world...

Some men keep real cool at gunpoint 
Having been swimming in the company of the military,
The nozzles of guns surveying in moments solitary:
Witnesses to soldiers dipping their fingers in wallets
For the purchase of that spitting...

Attendants

Have you ever been a-flyin'
Up in the sky so blue?
If you have you seen the people
Who provide their service for you.

Flying for them is a profession
One of assistance, service, and care.

Why have you left the others?
Don’t you feel alone?

Wailing of An Impaired Being

I despair from the invisible thorns,
Inflicted on me by the forces of hurt
I desire to flee beyond,
from within the ****** of crossroads

Sweet pain!
I've come to see.

I’m trapped in a fortress as thick as steel
The puzzle...

Joy mixed with bitterness
Hope laced with scoops of mud
This journey unseen
On the way to the holy matrimony
Love is blind
So they said without holding back
Till reality set itself to their face.

The Mountains Are Calling

From pine-scented forests, past boulders and streams,
To clear lakes encircled by murals and dreams
Where bright clouds emblazon a warm azure sky,
A trail through the mountains is one I must try.

When bluebells stop blooming and nighttime...

Shakespeare Turning Over In His Grave

Shakespeare,Turning over in His Grave

Spaghetti can, sardine can. soup can?
Why, hell~~
Any man can!
Do what?
Think poetry is just words!
Like eggs, "any style"
Tossed in a frying pan.

William would totally, fail today!
So, brutal and painful to say.
His beautiful words...

Where Do We Poets Go

Two people looking out of a window
Strange, is it not, they see different things
Poet; attention soft in stillness slow
Man of the world; his eyes glazed, sees nothing

In seeming chaos, there is symmetry
As the pendulum swings...

Beyond Change

Take Me Along

*TAKE ME ALONG*

Beneath your grave,
Take me along 
I'm lost on my world
Suffering is my friend
Agony is my watchword
I wined and dined
With the devil
Call me "Lord Lucifer"

This world is empty
I felt the pains underneath my eyes

Society and Politics

We're held by the reins of politics,
The lies, the truths and the deception,
The misguided pathways and the hell ways,
The unknown and the hidden facts.

Is there someone else behind the mask?
Or there're too much complexities woven...
