Free Will or What Gives!
Wai Phyo Win Dec 2023
Each and every wise man foreordains calculated risk
The more you are educated the more you think and think
I'm uneducated, always cross the road taking a risk

From Somewhere
Wai Phyo Win May 2021
A new sky over my head
and new ground under my back
Alone, quiet but not having tranquillity
inside my chest
Away from home for weeks, when to go back
No one knows exactly yet

Ode To My Son
Wai Phyo Win May 2021
You can't see me how my eyes sore
I was a blind man when you fall
My head bowed down to ye
The ground I only see

You left too soon at your last teen
Far, far away there can't be seen
A bad man has no ears
Did you call softly "Pa"

Sure I follow you when time comes
To pay my debts to you, my son
While you rest in your sleep
Both day and night I weep

Till my lungs crack and heart comes out
No one heard but I'm shouting loud
We'll meet again, said I
Do wait for me I'll join

A Labourer
Wai Phyo Win May 2021
Butterflies start to fly when the wind blows
Look at the trees you can see a sparrow
Long thin broom, working under the shade
Sometimes cannot rest in his room, a rake

Hot summer rain pours the sweat instead
Scene of the garden that clean but wet
White and red feet became ***** and sweaty
On way back to rest slipper was slippery


Though I am happy staying as if in comfy
After the shower, I'm ready for my baby
Everything is temporary, why can't I be happy?
Thinking that waiting is a true quality

To my son Nanda
Wai Phyo Win May 2021
My boy, you've left me for eight months
I'm searching you like in great hunt
I found you in my blurry dreams
Why was I not let go up-front?

To live few more at fifty plus
I've used up all my heartbeats pump
You'd instead live more in your teens
You'll hit all your aim with a jump

The reason you're that I survive
How should I spend my nights and days?
Could I stand tall without a beam?
We were together all the way

Imagine how I'm lonely one
A statue somehow I become
No sound I heard and blank was seen
I'm dumb and all of my parts numb
To my only son who passed away eight months ago

A Drifter
Wai Phyo Win Jan 2021

A dreamy state
Till now, I'm ill at ease
With drifting silence thoughts
How come?

Who else to be with me
From near or far
Who knows?

Forty Days and Forty Nights
Wai Phyo Win Dec 2020
Suddenly you've gone
Togetherness is not long
I miss you deeply my son
My only one

With your death, you've taught me all the facts
How to understand the disease called EDS
Too much complex! It presented problems no one could accept
You were bearing these on your death bed

Pain! days and nights
Your spines were not that right
Muscle spasm on your backside
So do your heart and even your eye sights

Moving slow
Enema ***** helped to pass down the flow
That is called 'diarrhoea overflow'
You've suffered all these... no one knows

I couldn't sleep till the first light
Now forty days and forty nights
These nights were the worst nights in life
I must overcome to be right

Missing you is my only right
Can't see solace on my way tonight

Thar Thar! My son!
Wakes up!
And help me to survive first
Then advise me how to live my life

Feel My Tears As They Dry
Wai Phyo Win Dec 2020
While I'm polishing the chandelier
I remember we listened Sia together
On all the facets, saw your faces reflected
It was like a movie or a mystery sound tract
As the crystals become sparkle
You're surrounding me in multiples
Now I'm in solitide: the one you left
Without a hint the day would turn into a cleft
Noone tell me to take a rest as you used to be
I thank you for always taking care of me

One More Dawn
Wai Phyo Win Dec 2020
I need only one more dawn my dear boy
There are things I've to say to you in mind
Suddenly leaving without my knowledge
No chances to comfort your last damage

All untold plans now burning to ashes
Secured for life, avoid harmful splashes
Now it's like built a castle in the cloud
Though I've made my best for you to be proud

Thanks! telling me most of your emotions
Forgive me! I haven't paid full attention
You're so kind hiding that'll hurt my feelings
I can't fill your wants: the last twelve seasons

Forgive you all, needless to say a word
A boy, no more guilt than everyone does
Talking in the absence of your presence
Pain is creeping like cancer with penance

It's easy to say to get refuge in Buddha Dhamma
In reality, I'm not a man with Pārāmi Ariā
Must I find a way to live with full of inner peace
Or come to you to protect and provide whatever you need?

Stifle
Wai Phyo Win Dec 2020
You're the mountain made out of the feathers
Shield covered you has loopholes all over
You did charity to all poor beggers
You're the river for the nasty smugglers

That's you are...
That's you are...
Ooh... that's you are

Were you in love or what was your treasures?
That's you were I knew only part outer
Slip of thought leads you to a grave danger
Warned you every time we've walked together

The guardian of your legend my dear
But you're not my prisoner forever
Anything from me even ivory tower
Name it you'll get the best or the better

You're the cool breeze crossing o'er the river
A moonlit shine in the freezing water
Desert hot in day and cold at night you're
Make a destiny and you'll be stronger

That's you are...
That's you are...
Ooh... that's you are...

A Hundred Days and Nights
Wai Phyo Win Dec 2020
We'd travelled in numbers huge and planning
we treasured those all trips count but over
Go always together like the lovers
I wonder alone where you are living?

Your omnipresent are like delusion
for God sake 'searching', elusive answer
These ideas illogical, to 'strangers'
A sound, a scent, a shade, a shadow; longing

Come near me! you're a phantom or the ghost!
I always open arms to you my boy
my son, you're welcomed, pristine my true host

God granted courage: holding ice or fire
Not you are out-and-out my son, let's toss
The time a hundred days I need you dear

Stare Into The Void
Wai Phyo Win Dec 2020
I'm begging you to forgive me, my son
For things to you that I could not have done

I knew I've loopholes all o'er in my plan
I felt lament: the black and cold dungeon

Two rivers flow but they can never meet
Until they scattered on my ugly feet

Who knows the secret, only you and me
Just want to hug you like we used to be

You'll forgive me, a faint hope I bear heft
That's all I ask for you, my most loved chap

Teary Eyes
Wai Phyo Win Dec 2020
Since you left me all I see come to blur
How many trips went we, my memories stirred
Present me your melodies silently
You're the ivory out of ebony perfectly

Nineteen winters, for me you're a great boy
Swinging personas as many LEGO toys
All kind of pains you're free now dear my son
Showed me how? courage to carry on, fear none

The right rhymes, you've helped me to find the words
Lyrics from Eminem, Weenkn's, a must
Gave me Odyssey and Iliad, a good read
Knowing I'm the prodigy guy indeed

Your gratitudes until now I can't forget
I'll meet you again to pay for all debts
Promise me you'll wait for me on your odyssey
Believing our fates are the Dead Sea Scrolls' prophecy

You've given me full of hope but when hope was gone
I left nothing but have to ***** my way to journey on

A father of a family fertile further
A mother called Monica mourned
Until the morning she became a Mother Monster
Like superstar Lady Gaga
They went to Basilica of Saint Paul Outside The Walls

'Fruitful and multiply'

Let's swear the oath!
How they deny that load?
They got another child after child every year
Happiest family in this world forever

Please knock on my door at midnight
I'm now ready for the late-night
Please tell me where to massage you
Ready at your service for you

Please come and talk to me all things
Songs, updated news, and all themes
Let me take you to fine dining
Where good food and nice surrounding

Let me wait for till 4 am
I'm okay in my car, I can
Enjoy with your closed pals freely
Always happy such night deeply

Tell me about the girls you like
I ne'er ask who are they or what
Ask for what present you should give
I know the feelings of teenage

Come, talk and cry when you break up
I'm your friend to open your heart
You're my friend, colleague and my son
My advisor and a twin one

Now you left me with solitude
Not telling me in which mood
I devoted whole life for you
I'm papa and mother to you

Around me is you, you and you
You're still with me anything I do

We Met and Talked
Wai Phyo Win May 2020
When you went to work
I tidied your kitchen
I waited your returned
From somewhere
You couldn't see me
Then we met and talked

Your friends followed you
And they met me
They're my friends too
I lied to them where I stayed
I'm invisible, they see me not
When I talked to them

You're my friend
I must pretend
you told me to do so
But I'm invincible
Suddenly you disappered
Then they left home

These days
I'm here and there
I met many strangers
They all talked to me
Even my late grandma
Your father too
I remembered only the end

Prefer to be alone
Or one more extra just for me
We scroll or woo and moan

Pore over great book, we'll be honed
We'll argue oftentimes
I'm sure you'll never loose your zone

You knew all debts and dimes
Of my own, palace thorny throne

Used to lived with new normal
Every decade is abnormal
Even before, SARS-CoV-2
Pandenmic seemed nothing new

What is normal in your life?
Constant changing day and night
Tomorrow is always a new day
Every one must adept to stay

Many yesterdays we have passed
Each yesterday, not the same for us in the past
Today and tomorrow will never be the same
Worry for the new normal shall be the shame

Why don't we neglect such the fact

Concentrate your nomadic mind

Mr Empty
Wai Phyo Win May 2020
Life is like a dice at throw
When will it stop once it rolls
Dreams shattered, a crystal bowl

The only way to calming down
Try to complacent what I'm now
I'm a half clown before melting down

When I was young, I wanted to be
Not a doctor nor running companies
For sure I'm a bit late to be somebody

I want to be an opera singer
Or an aesthetic dental practitoner
I also want to be a fine carpenter

None of these skills I possess
Doing things with common sense
Finally, I become less and less

Even I write verses as my hobby
Though I don't fond of reading potery
I write not to become Mr Empty

Ellipsis & Etc.
Wai Phyo Win May 2020
No matter what may come
Your dictionary doesn't have any word, even one
You are truely possessed with conditioned mind
That I cannot fulfill all your needs under this sun

All I have to do is let you go
You dare not to step further, a time for us will never grow
From far way I will fulfill anyting you may need
With only bonds-of-love* that rooted inside me indeed

You will see yourself, a lonely life
When I am going where I may be right
Time shall reveal how the tattoo you pierce my soul upon
Wait... while the show goes on, before curtin fall calls on

Ellipsis will serve omission...

Mirror

When I smile
Sometimes it neglects
When I cry
Seldom it reflects
When I look in the mirror

When I call
Always get same answer
Then I fall
Never offer me tender
When I look in the mirror

Told, matches were done fairly
Mostly I believed and relieved, may it be
Wait till I'm weathered and weary
A sneaky thief, could it be?
Then, I look into the mirror

Show me your motif, I asked
When will you confess, I wonder!
What is that in there, there you must!
Patchs of silver scattering behind, no wonder!
Every time, when I look at the mirror

I got it from a collector of treasures
I admit, I robbed it from her
I got it without being measured
I hung it, suddenly it becomes a blur
Until then, I look at the mirror

Desire

I have taken all protective measures
I don't actually have any reactive fear
No bacteria or virus want to **** their habitat
Just think, I cannot get along with all of that

Do I want to live more than one twenty years?
Instead I would rather choose euthanasia
I don't want to be old and upgrade new emerging skills
Learning to earn money for long, long surviving days

A birth or a death is a part of life for me to embrace
Dying without fear is the authentic God's grace
If I have Covid nineteen, just allow me to play the songs
As I don't want to hear beeping siren all the way long

Switch off all the beeping noises that are vexing me
Let me listen the songs of Amanda Syfrid and lovely Miley
I shall think of I am just a speck in boundless universe
For you, I shall keep on composing blank verse

Don't feel sad for me when I die
For I have done all I want during my time

Where you long to be?
Wai Phyo Win Feb 2020
Why is it secret? What we have to hide?
See why in shadow I hide?
So it is to be war between us
Sad to return to find the land we love

Silently the senses
Abandon their defences
You have come here
Through a strange new world

A man locked in a cage
This whole affair is an outrage!
You've decided.. decided...
where the daylight dissolves into darkness

Ever escape from that face
Of strutting around the stage
Yet, in his eyes all the sadness
What's all this nonsense?

No more memories
you've repaid me and betrayed me
Your mind start a journey
You show a little courtesy?

Open up your mind, fantasy unwind
I said only when the time
Away with this pretence
I shall give you one last chance

It appears we have no choice
Too late that prudent silence is wise
You must change!
And speak my name

In youth, every path they are crossing
With time, trespassing: halloween or guillotine?

Leaving cachectic branches in deep dark black
On which white blizzard going to collect

Dream

Last night you're in my dream
you tightly hold my hand
soft sunlight made your face gleamed
you gazed my eyes and said "well planned"

You whispered "you're my right-hand man"
you looked bold, crescendo grows
while I was afriad of the gang "Ku Klux ****"
your twisted smile aglow, like free flow

I want to be your shield and then
with blissful courtly bestow
I bent a kneel for betrothal by Big Ben
in dream, we were brief commandos

In my life
Wai Phyo Win Oct 2019
Many people come to my life
only few come to my heart
may be one or two
but for life

Then left me, abandoned me
when they needed to do so
I have to let them go
nothing I can do

I did the same thing
once or twice in life
nothing they can do
they have to let me go

Is that human nature?
or paying the sin of debt?
So painful

How can I stop this?
How can I survive with this?
Have you got answer?
Please.
