Behind my smile is a thousand years I have laughed. I have nursed my pains for years And I have been like a soldier waiting for the general I have not bended, I have been standing straight like the breast of a ****** I have not been weak, sick but always seek But I promise. I promise to be loyal to my name And to play so well the game For surely, I know there would be a spark Boom! One day, a light in the dark For this, is my Hope

This is My Hope
When the lorry thundered into the town I ran and they called me a clown I know but I don't want to wait till I break the glass You can call me a coward But I am free from the hungry claws of the hawk, Alas!

Call me anything
I see fire swallow the ocean The wind blow without a single tree dancing I see the cloud pregnant without a sign of birthing I see the birds just flapping their wings without flying I see the lion running away from it's prey And I see the demon to God pray I see the sun with a face so full I see mothers cooking their food without fire All these I am seeing They are. Unimaginable. But, can they ever be true?

Can they?
Dangling the keys in silence The wails echo from the young and the old With hearts so sore deep in His presence We have come to bow to the blood of our fellows on a day hot, even in the cold It is everyone's soup, truly we know But Oh cry, why have you tasted yours early NO! You promised but they were fulfilled barely You now left us, silent like the graveyard We are strong but still weary Darkness has illuminated our light I have not heard that before They came to take you away from our sight Look at your stars, our dear beloved They are now lonely in a world of pain No more will they shine because you are now a vain Your drums, now sounding bitterly You rested too hot in his bossom We mourn you but......................... I can't write anyfurther Your HOT REST makes my pen weak.

Hot sleep
You are a softly singing bed Under, where the tailed breathe You are also the mother of the eight legged Sometimes driven by force to be active Sometimes too you are calm like an earth just fed with rain Well, it is not your fault, it is nature Dear River. Water. I know I am not one of your big family But will you allow me sit by your bank so that you can whisper? Because you remind me of something

Dear River
It is never cold in March But this chill down my spine is unshakeable As I walked to the bathroom the fourth time I wonder who has been waking me up I didn't see the face and to no one, it I could trace But deep within me, I know it is my visitor That person I know exists, but his face I have never seen He came, he took my hand I brushed it away but he held it back I tried to cry and to whistle like a kettle but I was dry I tried to shout, to reach out, but words failed me I thought I was strong but no I was wrong I knew after trudging through life In which I was neither happy or unhappy he has visited Then I tried to shake off the ghost feeling that enveloped me But, my visitor was deemed to visit me Then like being in a trance, for the last time I found myself there in his arms our hands clasping like two lovers walking The visitor, he took me away but there in my bed I was lying My in and out gone!

The visitor
I have known you since I was little My mother told me scary stories about you But I have grown to know that you are beautiful Because just you are, like me too You have been like a pet I have cherished you since we met You are me and I am you You do like me and I do like you We have been for so long a time My companion, without collecting a dime Though, your face is blank I don't even know which colour Just to be frank You have followed like a tail You have mimicked, you have been with me, even in the jail I just want to ask " Will you still follow me to the home of every human? " My ever faithful part Will you stay or depart?
