Curiousity kill
A cat's neighbor, unmindful
Delight brought him back.
I got to listen
To your plea, raise and complaint
Before I lift feud.
I'm so tired but free
Mind says walk further a mile
Body says stay.
Your life's not my fault
My life is not your business
Nothing frills to chills.

His eyes that run dim with tears like autumn’s fade
Reflect the pain of love's defeated grade.
He invested all, his heart and soul,
In her, his love, his life's control.
He made himself her sole provider,
Trusting she'd stay, his love forever to deliver.
But now, she's gone, and he's left to grieve,
No legal bond, no proof to retrieve.
Bottles pile high, a futile quest,
To drown his sorrow, and find some rest.
But alas, the pain will not subside,
For love, now lost, has been his demise.
A bird that falls, a thousand pass,
Unmoved, unmindful of its tender grass.
So let this be a lesson true,
To guard the heart, and love anew.

When we find our morale at rock bottom,
It appears the earth has come to a standstill!
Finding ourselves amidst darkness all around,
We are in a dungeon with no escape, we feel!
Unmindful of our innate abilities, at times we forget
To bounce back, like a ball hit against a wall!
Seeds sprout piercing the upper layers of the earth,
Sensing the touch of raindrops from clouds so dark!
A word of consolation is enough for a soul
That has fallen down, to rise up like a spring!
Things that appear dormant in nature for the time being,
Can erupt like volcanoes unwarranted any time,
Animating their innate vibrance to everyone's surprise!

Petals falling
from unseeded bud
opened by a midnight sun
sparkling it to love
then vanishing
to return on its course
in candle lights
stolen star to star
unmindful
of ice pellets
tearing at the calyx
teardrops
frozen in the throat
lacerating heart
throbbing to harden
like winter in silence.
February weeps
meet a new face
lights start dancing
in the eyes
glances caressing
two hearts
whispering to each other
sweetness
crushed grape
turns to wine
tinting two goblets
crimson!
Eternal seed
buds new life
flame of God's
everlasting light
running through veins
of two hearts
saying to each other: Yes
I love you

If duckling, piglets and puppy
Live, eat and slept together
No fussing, growling or barking
Why can't humans get along with each other.
We are all God's jam, an Earthling humans
Why can't we live in friendship, unmindful
Of color of skin, religion, nationality, please...
Have peace, love, kindness to everyone.

Wonderful sunshine
Happiness to an angel
Singing through this cutie
A piece sung by Celine Dion
My Heart Will Go On.
Hot noon day a blazing fury
A poor PWD weightlifter
Trying her best practice religiously
Unmindful the poor physical condition of the gym
She's still manage to cup a prize for her name.
Misty cold evening at ground hotel
A lonesome romantic dancer
Dancing on the floor in rhythmic motion
Accompaniment of a grand piano
Played by a centenarian grandpa.

She came crying
In no season
Me asking
For what reason.
No answer, only sob
A finger pointing on her heart
I suspect it's all about love
As I sense it from the start.
Oh, my daughter is in love
As I hear some romantic phone call
I see her glowing stare from above
Unmindful a glass of water already full.
The happiness is short-live
As she open up her grief
The love she give
Has betrayed by a thief.
She later found out sought
The boy she commit
Is already betroth
Agreed to better quit.
I pity my daughter
For such an early failure
But I never discourage her
For that lovely error.
For a moment, I gave her a glance
And tap her back a shove
Advice her to give her heart a chance
To never give up on love.

I know that strange feeling
A ton weighs on my heartstrings
The Ears yearn to listen
Language of the given
The Eyes wish to rest
In the dust of land born
My gut waits unmindful
For dishes made by mom
It’s so heavy, I got to go home
To my mom, to my land, to my folk
I wanna see that teared smile
On wrinkled face of mom
I wanna feel the tap & hug
By my folk, by my kin
Every time I feel the fear
I fear death away from home
It’s a crime if you don’t feel that way
It’s a crime if you just walk away
The air of motherland
The soil of motherland
The tongue of motherland
Worth known to only
Those far away from home
You know that you’re not alone

Quote: When earth’s one half faces the sun, the other half goes to restful sleep – Anonymous
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
With tilted axis
And elliptical orbit
Earth shimmies like Prima ballerina
With a graceful pirouette
She faces the Sun’s heat
Smooths out glare on her feet
At night she parties
Filling veins of her green
With stimulating goodness sap
Moon, the proud practice partner
Strenthens her seasonal jumps
Allows her to Celebrate
Appreciative Sun shines
More on the partner
To see well the glow on ballerina
Unmindful of Newton’s theories
Lush lives thrives on this duet
In the shadow of sunlight

Is there no way
No path
No distant beacon
Naught but the roar
Of roiling breakers
Scattering the stony beach
With driftwood scarecrows
Is there no truth
No quietude of soul
No vibratory vindication
Save the shrieking tremor
Of faltering hearts
Weeping
For unknown lovers
Is there no light
Untouched by darkness
Un-blinded by the shadows
Fearless in its ferocity
Gentle in its gaze
Unmindful
Of its magnificence

Spring's whispers were present in the brisk night
promises of blooms mid summerlike skies
Yet winter's snowy white colors my sight
Could those promises be only her guise?
I long for endless nights to quickly end
though I own no quibble with the white moon
but on Spring and birdsong we do depend;
in this stillness, there is no lovely tune.
Spring does seem very unmindful of time
nor do freezing breezes stir her desire
for flowers blooming in sun shining clime
What does one do to light the stubborn fire?
Could it be spring is but choosing to hide,
or is this some version of Spring Untried?

I am…
The last resort for all your problems
Come to me even when all doors have closed
I shall be waiting to give you succour
Because you’ll be needing it the most
I am the force that lifts you
Give you confidence that you need
To mingle again after a heart-break
Unmindful of mine, your ego I shall feed
You only come to me when your heart’s broken
Never of your own free will, to be with me
I do my best to mend your broken heart
As I’ve learned to be patient to a great degree
Your affection towards me is for a reason
Love, I know is not what brings you here
You pray hard I’m not aware of your designs
But I’ve known all along that which you fear
You never did know why I pursued you
Even when I know you are still playing with me
It’s because in love you’ve learned to take
And in love, I’ve learned to give you my soul with glee

the crawling
trash-eating growlers
empty the jettison
of 7 days
strong limbs and gloved hands
heave and haul
tip-over the unwanted tangle
of unmindful chaos
the machine chews loudly
time to go
drag the empty black bins
back into their secluded caves
time to make eggs and bacon
to drop once more
rinds and shells
into plastic landfills

In youth's embrace, I danced through chance,
Unmindful of life's intricate dance.
Each missed opportunity, a fleeting glance,
Too young to grasp consequences, circumstance.
Redemption's path, a winding trail,
Unveiling truths, as time set sail.
Aunt Shirley's gaze, a reflective mirror,
Her wisdom echoing, becoming clearer.
Through missteps and misguided strife,
I glimpsed the cost of a misguided life.
A crime unjust, shadows still remain,
A haunting echo, a lingering pain.
Understanding dawns with the aging sun,
Lessons learned, redemption begun.
In society's eyes, scars may persist,
Yet within, a journey to coexist.
Aunt Shirley's grace, a guiding light,
I seek redemption in the silent night.
For every missed chance, a chance anew,
To weave a tale of redemption true.

No, I'm not one of those who say, "It's nothing, it's collateral damage for just cause."
How much I regret this plight of conscience,
people walking around unmindful of the tragedy.
Have they no trace of humanity?
Are there no rules of war?
Is genocide allowed?
The spirit of contradiction marks the West, shattering tranquility of academic ivory towers, desperately requiring Nietzschean jailbreak; their sorrow is shallowest thing, they're afraid of their own shadow.
Look no further than Nazi atrocities,
are there no lessons from history?
Follow not the logic of occupiers, colonizing morality.
They color the silence of their tongues with crocodile tears.
