Let the Light Shine

They say it all ends well, 
but I’ve never danced to the tune of midwives. 
I do not share in the religion of living life in blind sight. 
Praise to the poets, 
the singers, 
the artists, 
the clinically ill.
those who see life in color. 
Curse the moralists, 
those who  mock the different 
those who see through monochrome lenses. 
Those are the ones who should be condemned,
left to them, 
The light will never shine
No reason to wake. 
And dreams nothing but dreams.

Life's Silhouette

Do not let the candle light burn out.
Do not let the color turn beige.
The rainbow is bright,
And There is gold at the final bout 
Fight, fight and keep fighting .
Do not let your life to turn into a meaningless silhouette.

Love Is Not the Goal-Happiness Is

Through the window, 
I see my life
and the love I have for you wash away. 
I love you but we cannot stay 
bigger powers than us at play.
