When Memories Fade

Restlessly and endlessly, but don’t carelessly watch your memories recklessly
Fading solemnly but tremendously superficially
Staying wholly happy with evident melodies
Quickly and rapidly, physically and mentally
Hungrily grab narrowly and slowly onto your memories
As it quietly goes deeply, sleeplessly, yet neatly
Likely your memories shall call fearfully and carefully
But crudely, it is not calmly met directly with
Your friendly, stealthy soul that steadily 
Awaits for reality’s perfectly attention of
Being hurtfully and terrifically freshly envied
Slightly hold your disappearing memory’s arm tightly
Rudely, though truly, stubbornly holding perfectly freely
Until, totally suddenly, it is really resting normally
And nobly alongside your soul, remains your holy memory’s legacy of history

A Different Path

I disliked my father, 
He was never there for me 
Even at my soccer games 
Where I would look around 
With excitement, trying to spot him 
But disappointment is all I see 

He doesn't do much 
Not having fun with the family 
Nor being bored with the family 
He sleeps often 
And doesn't take the time to talk to me 
He wasn't someone I could call...father 

Now, I am his age 
With my own family 
I would work hard and long 
He inspired me, 
To not become what he was 

After a day of hard work 
I would sleep the instant I return home 
I don't see my family much 
But it feels good to rest 
And know that I'm doing all I can 
To help my family live their dreams 
And this one day 
My son had asked me with curiosity 
"Dad, why don't you ever show up at my games?"

Eternity of Life

I will live on forever…
Until the searing sun burst,
When only ashes can become memories
Until the moon shines the day,
With darkening fading shadows
Until every bright star would fall,
Making wishes every second
Until the mountains would crumble,
As its top would even my feet
Until the wind stops its journey,
No longer dancing to the music of life
Until nature would grow intensely,
Covering every space and sound
Until the rains would fall,
Not in the shapes of solemn tears
Until all these has been revealed,
And proven by my naked eyes
I will live on forever…

One Pose

They pass me each and everyday 
Without noticing a bit of me, 
Maybe a hey, hi, or hello will do 
But they’ll never ever see. 
I would look upon that whispering road 
And see my helpless friend, 
I would lean with tremendous pains 
Just to shake his honest hand. 
But I never do succeed 
Finding myself in need of help, 
Still, they would pass me by 
Not seeing of how I felt. 
As I hold my gun over my shoulder 
I’ve learn to stand so still, 
Living in one pose 
Opposing my threatening wills. 
My armors are crumbling down 
But my legs straighten quietly, 
As birds nests on my cape 
Resting quite silently. 
Sometimes they would throw trash 
Landing on my feet, 
I would yell for a seize 
But they never hear of what I speak. 
I wish to stare at the sky 
But my eyes will not move, 
I can only look upon that road 
And I cannot decide to choose. 
My hat is tipped-half in 
My fingers are dying old, 
Once I’ve pass the burning heat 
It then comes the bitter cold. 
They would never care to clean me 
Only the kindness of the rain, 
It washes down my half-tucked vest 
So that they can see my trusting name. 
I want to laugh and put on a smile 
But my face is built to fit an angry man, 
So whenever they decide to look at me 
They will never understand.

Big Brother

I can only remember you...big brother 
As a mere memory 
It slowly fades with each passing glimpse 
I have lost you... 

It seems just a while ago 
When you would sit by the window 
Playing your guitar with rhythmical melodies 
The divine sound you played 
It constantly whispers to me, 
Along with the wind of disappearance 

But it seems so long ago 
Since you departed me 
Too long, where even foreverness cannot follow 
The endless path of eternity 

I wanted to be just like you, an evident idol 
I wish each day for your return, 
Although I know too well of its impossibilities 
Because you're forever gone 
I have lost you... 
Not to death, 
But to the influence of drugs and alcohol

Not They

They say
that nothing last forever
and that
we cannot fly
nor walk on water
But
who is this They
had They ever
came up to me
and told me
I cannot fly
nor walk on water
No
so I will continue believing myself
I am able to fly
and walk on water
Because
I am not They

Save Me

I have cut myself
To see how much I would bleed
I have buried myself in shame
A life of a faithless seed

Then I shall grow
To be what I will never become
Resting as I fantasize
As stuck as a spit-out gum

I have lost sight of this world
A place where I once cherished and treasured
Not in time, but in misunderstood words
Those that I have never pleasured

Engulf in darkness
My arms entangle behind my back
Pains reaching my immortal spines
And my heart, a decaying scrap

I cannot taste the freshness of the air
The gentle winds that once soften my face
I cannot embrace to emotions
But the rebirth of all my disgrace

All I can do now is fade
As a memory that is forgotten
With no more meaning in life
No longer in the mind of obsession

The path I’ve taken
Not just a blunder, but a growing faith
So I would live around this helpless emptiness
Just waiting to be save

I Tell You Because

He taught me to be kind
And he taught me to always care
He taught me to use my mind
And he taught me to never fear

He taught me how to see
And he taught me how to speak
He taught me to be free
And he taught me where to seek

He taught me why to dream
And he taught me how to start
He taught me to be seen
And he taught me to use my heart

He taught me how to live
And he taught me to be true
He taught me how to give
And he taught me how to choose

He taught me what to say
And he taught me what to do
So it has come to the day
And now I'm telling you

Finding Poetry

I asked my dad where Poetry lived
Curious, at the age of three
He smiled and rubbed my gentle head
“It is nearby”, he said to me

So now I am in a search
To find this mistical land
But with no luck, I could not find
Which surely I did not understand

And I’ve already search the world
With nowhere else to go
And that’s when it hit me
It lives within one’s soul

So you don’t have to find where Poetry lives
You just have to believe it’s true
Because if you do believe in its existence
Then it is already living in you

I Once

I once dreamt of a dream 
Which lead me to another 
I once had what I have 
To keep, when lost again 
I once saw what I’ve seen 
Repeating itself right over 
I once took what I’ve taken 
Gaining no more or less 
I once sung what I’ve sang 
With no changing melodies 
I once wished for a wish 
To wish forever more 
I once spoke what I’ve spoken 
To make sure of its truths
