Lost in Thought

For those who have suffered
Through fire and snow
From words
From action
To complete nothingness to show
Take pride
Take comfort
For those who cannot see
The true beauty in chaos
Are those who have not suffered
Through fire and snow

New You

Jan 2016 Blanket

Nay

New You

you came to me at 9 pm
with a heartbreak that driving you numb
turn a elegant independent woman that I know
into a classy ***** that drunk by her love for him

I left a bruise on your cheek
to bring you back to the reality

remember how did he dump you
he doesn't deserve your tears

held your head high Princess, it's almost New Year
don't let your sadness slip down your crown
have a break, take your time
let's have our afternoon tea and have some chit chat
think about how to make you worth to keep

don't look for love
love will find you eventually

and when the right person came, you both deserve for the best

dedicated to Dee M and everyone who had a heartbreak, you still have a long long journey to go, enjoy your youth

Resolution

This Year
When your tear-filled eyes
are looking for
someone to fall in love with,

Make sure you look in the mirror.

Imagine

Imagine

Imagine if we lived in harmony
Imagine if all that's good is shown,
Imagine if all the hate is gone,
Imagine all the tears that were dropped,

Imagine all the lonely who moved on,
Imagine all the lonely who are still lost,

Imagine all the ones who are happy
Imagine all the ones who are sad
Imagine the day we can all get along
Imagine how happy the world would be......

When all we imagine is our happy thoughts

The day we stand as one
Will end all hate and bring joy
But till that day
We shall only imagine

The power of thought brings best to our imagination

"Where are your hopes and dreams?"

"It's in my heart."* I replied.

"But it's broken!" they cried.

Is it wrong to have hopes
And dreams in a broken heart?

You don't keep them anywhere
Where they would fade with the time.

You don't place them somewhere
Where they could be forgotten.

They must be safe in a place
Where they would not cease to exist
Or be passed by the hands of time.

Even if the heart, itself, is not safe.

And when your heart breaks,
*That's when they become true.

Renegades

Renegades

When I told you "I love you."
It was my heart
When I chose to cross-over
Shout out that it's done
It was my mind
That was an era that started a war
A rage that erupted
Conflicting feelings
Disheveled emotions
Vague decisions
The siren signaled
Man is the enemy
Woman ran to the open field
She looked for shelter
Man dropped the bomb
Woman surrendered
A white flag, man also raised
Both died-  but not in spirit
Man and woman felt alive
Man lifted the woman's hands
Together they marched as one
The darkest days have ended
If this was a siege, man and woman
Both are veterans
The renegades of love die last

A Moment Of Silence

Jan 2016 Blanket

A Moment Of Silence

A moment of silence
Will not change history
Will not bring back the dead
Will not replace tragedy with victory

A moment of silence
Will not reverse events
Will not restore security
Will not resend tears

A moment of silence
Is only to remember
What life was like before
We lost our patience
We gave up our hopes
We lost trust in our faith
And decided –
Segregation is the way to world peace
Separation is the way to independence
Solitude is the way to heal

I stand before my mirror today
Drawing on my eye line with a black pencil
Adding weight to the lashes that protect my eyes
Shading my lips to a hue that is not my own
Knowing, that my true colors beneath all application
Will be judged against my character
Will be imposed with expectations against my vision
Will be depended on with no gratitude
Will be compared to stereotypes of ideals

I would like to take a moment of silence
Today and everyday
To accept who I am
To recognize what I once was
To let myself grow

This moment of silence will guide me
Today and everyday
To dream with my eyes wide open
To realize who I need to become
To find the hero within me

I am taking this moment of silence
To create history, instead of become
To live before I die
To reform my failures into victories

I am taking this moment of silence
To live this day with many new beginnings
To trust myself to recreate security
To replace tears with courage

This moment of silence
Could take my breath away
But I will stand still
For our saviors would do the same

The Love Child

The Love Child

There is a thing called Forever
it can be a scary thing
it watches you when you wake
notices when you sleep
hears every light whisper
knows every secret you keep
holds in its hands all you love
and at its feet all your hopes
your dreams hang from above
and everywhere it mopes
Forever is unknowable
for Time gave birth to it
because Time loved Uncertainty
so much that they had to be together
Forever.

the boy and the moon

the boy and the moon

there was a boy
simple and true
once looked up to the night sky
and saw the elegant moon
he stared to the celestia
and started to dream
when i grow up
the moon i shall redeem

i said to my father
father, when i grow up
i shall grab the moon
father chuckled and laughed
and hit me in the rough
and said
son, you cannot grab the moon

but the heart of the boy
was yet unwavering
and his dream lived on

i saw my sister and said
sister, when i grow up
i shall grab the moon
sister simply smiled
and said it's impossible to be done
so my dreams have now been derailed

doubt now entered his heart
and sent his dreams apart
but looking forward he sees
this dream is only for him

i saw my teacher and said
teacher, when i grow up
i shall grab the moon
then teacher did
what my father had done
and said
boy, your dream cannot be done

the boy now lives today
with his dreams shattered so soon
and now will he be known
as the boy who did not grab the moon

we shouldn't stop the young for making their dreams come true, no matter how absurd or ridiculous it is
