Burn in the cool sun,
Be a friend of the old moon
to recollect love

Ah ! I see stones!
I have lines on my face
They mature me
I see viewpoints - perceived
Mixed emotions
The vibes in my head
Hearing the words that you said
It's compliments?
Isn't it so
These words are all I know
Stones on my mind
What then shall I find?
I am perplexed
It's all convex
Concave? It sunk in
Here we go again
It's in my head
The words you said
"I love you" isn't an issue
Apologies mean nothing
I recollect
I will always remember
The words you said...

Carolyn, not the throne blighting enigma
But she who carries a name like a country
From that warm Devonshire persona
Tolled it from the multicultural bell of history
And I today see the end
Not from Mayan Calender or prophets' plight
How our time has warped and bend
How spotted is the brightest light!
How tormented is the bravest of men!
It is the end
Not of the substance but of the spirit
The form we had before we became void
Everything is by force and nothing by merit
Hope no feather from the conflict provide
