The Leaving of the Dead

As each day makes a desert way
     A star falls to vanish in the sky of dark
     Left are the others in the groaned world of our days
     As each day beams, we lack in the part.

5.   When will these missing flowers be found ?!. 
     To those we show our tattered feet.
     The Owners of Land, where our germinations were bound
     Now, being the ancestors of our fruits fleet

     As the breeze blows, so they die.
10.  Waving to the spirit world of spell,
     To leave the Lizards on lie.
     Who knows who would hear tonight bell?

     For the dead leaving, and the leaving dead; where is their home  ?
     In  God’s heaven or …Devil’s hell?

The Chiar of Our Time

The chair of our time, not our forefathers’ 
Up are you, with that shifted bottom in the air
Those legs of flippant seem to be permanent;
With the open gate of laughter.
5.	Rolled  down eyeballs; Down level his kinsmen
	“Ay” I call, “do you think forever you’ll be there?”
	Scattering spittle fall to level us beneath land.
	“That’s your reply”, pouncing on the lifters.
	Thousand hearts halloa, “Get yourself down now !!!”
10      Thunder light shown. The downgrade of a star,
        Beating the lizard to pulp, “Hurrah !”
        Breeze, blown out of million of mouths. I look 
        “Enough !. Who will seat next?”
        Up is another raven raw; having being warned
15.	Against a life term. Suddenly, the exulted
         Shining white balls turned red. Without an ear to options.
	“Change, or, you shall be down” I warn.
	“This chair is forever mine: Take it”, The mouth Opens.
	Eyes of lifting hands look helpless. 
20.	Will this seated bottom also turn stubborn?
	Old heads fall down. Brain faculties work faster.
	“Are your natures, these, blokes?
	Why would nature always melt your bottoms
	To this chair for overtime, for life term?
25.	This must be a spell. Are the 
	Men the course? OR … oh …….,
	The chair.. should be the cursed.
	“Now! down cast this crow crown of cruel”
	I command. Sure… The air quash against our feet.
30.	Another crown, again, is needed.
	But; at the end, what will happen to the crown?
	You! a cursed chair, the lucrative
	That turns our men corrupt,
	What will be the redeeming remedy?

In Love

Sometime this year
    Atmosphere was as cold  as a dog’s nose
    Forming a white pool
    In the thin heart of this life.
5.  My legs moved to our porch
    Having refused the terrain of 
    His close foes’ fathom of affection.
    Then my vision balls punched up.
    A buttery in the life?
10. In tune to the rhythm of  our father’s proverb, 
    I began the holy dance-chase of life
    Which for today, tomorrow and ever is virtue 
    Soon, I caught the golden butterfly
    Then I discovered I was in love
