Tonight, as I flip through the world in the fog of the sky,
My brother's coughing beside me, rolling onto his right side,
We're pulling the bald landscape over our bodies of dust, 
We won't be dreaming of fairytales, just of a home to trust.

We drank too many tides, the sea is spilling over our bodies,
One day when our hearts explode, our names'll rhyme with casualties,
Along the tribes we race, at a young age hard we learnt,
That the longer we wait, the more of our memories will be burnt.

It's in black and white, the digital world they're fussing about,
We're in one cell of this universe that seeps no sound,
The clatter from the battleground rivals our ringing ears,
My dead mama said, boys were born to laugh at fear.

Through mirrors of smoke, I think I see distant planets shine,
I write to God everyday, can you patch the holes of mine?
At a tie in this war of peace, they bow down to the lion in the cage,
It'll only ever be a means to end, even our corpses will be estranged.

They only ever see eye to eye and claws to fangs,
Under clouds of fire, me and my brother will dance.

in too deep
hung up
over nothing
let it be
Sometimes a neighbors smile is really a wall ,
meant to draw you away from
life's frequent pitfalls ...
A friend in need has planted a seed
Let the flower grow , water it well
Chart a course for happiness and let love sail

She had that "impress me" vibe over her.
If only she could be impressed by anything I knew about.
If only she cared of my dazzeling good looks.
And my smooth lines.

If only I could make her head turn.
But she never looked.
I could never say anything
That stirred her heart.
She was that conquest we all wanted
But could never have
So we never admitted to really wanting her.

she's not that easy, she's too smart

And boy was she ever smart.
Nothing I could do, surprised her.
She was one step ahead.
So I took her down, like a good sportsman
Or hunter who takes down a gazelle.
But she never quivered.
She never admitted that anything I had done
Really impacted her.

She smiled like statues smile
She looked right through us
Like an x-ray scanner
And we felt small
Insignificant.
And we took distance
She was the only thing
I could never figure out completely.
She was the hero
Who never showed her face
And Villain who never told anyone
She had a beautiful heart aside a beautiful face.

The illusion of a woman was embodied within her.

She spins her beautiful web
as natural to her as air
but beauty is not her game.
She will wait, centred
as patient as a full Moon.
And its the freedom of wings
brings the downfall of her meals.
I am sorry that I was being weak with those last two post.
Now that I been wounded , I need to learn from my mistake.
I need to learn that there will be times that I will error.
Because I am human, learning to let Christ use me to help others.
But I trust him to reveal my weaknesses and strength as well.
For the demons and the people here wants me to give up.
For they use my weaknesses to make me want to give up.
But Christ and his people want me to keep persevering here
I have  Christ strength within me, which makes me a warrior.
I'm having a hard time really
Put you in a situation that only you can move
Never minding the possibilities what people that surrounds us may think
After the quest i gave in. Looking forward to what you've done
I found nothing, nothing but self pity
So may I ask, who's irresponsible between us?
Me who always hide in the shadow of responsibility but works?
**Or you who always took up the light but no words?
