Truer words were never spoken
Brother, you are so lucky... To have a caring mother Someone who's always there for you.. I Never met my mother, you see... The times when you are lost I feel that your mother was so nervous And was happy when she saw you.. When I'm lost, no one looks for me, but i always find my way back home..alone. Every struggle and every pain, your mother Is always there to laugh and cry with you Brother, you are so lucky... Though, in every battle.. I fight it all alone I've seen how men conspired against you, I've been there too and I feel you.. Believe me, without a mother to comfort you, you have to cry yourself alone to sleep... Brother, you are so lucky.. That time when they wanted to **** you, drag you and hurt you She followed you, wept and felt every wounds they inflicted on you.. During the times you stumbled, she was there..she saw it all.. She suffered the pain most.. You see, in all your journey, she was there... But in all these, my brother, you are still lucky.. the time they nailed you on the cross and died, your mother was there to hug you.. all I wanted in my life is a hug from a mother...my mother...

lucky
She bows her head everytime she works Patiently giving her everything She never stops until she achieves perfection Constantly shapes,molds and draws Her canvas are the mirrors of her soul She congratulates herself for a job well done And smiles from time to time Every genius must have a mother, This greatest artist who inspires Every greatest man on earth.. cora chan

Naked he was, you clothed him Hungry he was, you fed him Cynical he was, you died for him Sinner he was, you believed in him Selfish he was, you shared everything Blind he was,you gave him light Ungrateful he was, you gave him the world Rich and proud he was, you made him a ruler Godless he was, you remained steadfast..

Unsung
A dreamer knows no bounds He slays dragons beyond his infinite horizon Dives into his gigantic waves of emotions And creates a mass of destruction The chaotic world of madness Like an untamed beast of forces Overwhelming struggles to reality Exploding secretly to eternity

Beautiful insanity
dad left for his second tour of duty on my third birthday mom kept a jar full of jelly beans on the living room coffee table every night she gave me one to eat, saying "when these jelly beans are all eaten up, dad will come back home" sometimes i would sneak another, to help dad come home sooner one night the phone rang and i watched mom wipe away a tear as she filled the jar back up

jelly beans
You are but a turmoil ...In my mind Like vast clouds Despising... Dark Elusive. A gust of wind looming From the horizon A mystery to unravel You are but a turmoil, I have yet to conquer... -cora chan-

Turmoil
I love rain... Childhood memories Sweet innocence The fresh smell of rain Dew drops like crystals Fond memories of the past Raindrops,a heaven-scent Heaven sent from above I love you... Memories of you Your sweet innocent smile Your fragrant breath Like a fresh new life Your eyes sparkle like crystals Rain speaks of our memories Heaven sent me your love

I love rain...I love you
I would liken you To a night without stars Were it not for your eyes. I would liken you To a sleep without dreams Were it not for your songs.

Quiet Girl
Jigsaw puzzle Jumbled words Road to nowhere ...in Neverland Crooked path To hell and back Chaotic world ...an abstract LOVE,i can't fathom Unattainable emotions Elusive and hiding Dying embers of passion A mirage in the desert Too far to reach Scorching,burning... As I turn my back to leave -cora chan-

Obscure
Twelve o’clock. Along the reaches of the street Held in a lunar synthesis, Whispering lunar incantations Dissolve the floors of memory And all its clear relations, Its divisions and precisions, Every street lamp that I pass Beats like a fatalistic drum, And through the spaces of the dark Midnight shakes the memory As a madman shakes a dead geranium. Half-past one, The street lamp sputtered, The street lamp muttered, The street lamp said, ‘Regard that woman Who hesitates towards you in the light of the door Which opens on her like a grin. You see the border of her dress Is torn and stained with sand, And you see the corner of her eye Twists like a crooked pin.’ The memory throws up high and dry A crowd of twisted things; A twisted branch upon the beach Eaten smooth, and polished As if the world gave up The secret of its skeleton, Stiff and white. A broken spring in a factory yard, Rust that clings to the form that the strength has left Hard and curled and ready to snap. Half-past two, The street lamp said, ‘Remark the cat which flattens itself in the gutter, Slips out its tongue And devours a morsel of rancid butter.’ So the hand of a child, automatic, Slipped out and pocketed a toy that was running along the quay. I could see nothing behind that child’s eye. I have seen eyes in the street Trying to peer through lighted shutters, And a crab one afternoon in a pool, An old crab with barnacles on his back, Gripped the end of a stick which I held him. Half-past three, The lamp sputtered, The lamp muttered in the dark. The lamp hummed: ‘Regard the moon, La lune ne garde aucune rancune, She winks a feeble eye, She smiles into corners. She smoothes the hair of the grass. The moon has lost her memory. A washed-out smallpox cracks her face, Her hand twists a paper rose, That smells of dust and old Cologne, She is alone With all the old nocturnal smells That cross and cross across her brain.’ The reminiscence comes Of sunless dry geraniums And dust in crevices, Smells of chestnuts in the streets, And female smells in shuttered rooms, And cigarettes in corridors And cocktail smells in bars.’ The lamp said, ‘Four o’clock, Here is the number on the door. Memory! You have the key, The little lamp spreads a ring on the stair, Mount. The bed is open; the tooth-brush hangs on the wall, Put your shoes at the door, sleep, prepare for life.’ The last twist of the knife.
