Everyday I wear different personas
As orchestra's manager commands us
in tune with the broadway orchestra
for the role I've to play
I'm surviving in this way
when the mask stick permanently
on my face
That is my personality I can't erase

Every one has skeleton in their cupboard
Don't reveal to any one
Swallow hardships like a coffee at Starbuck
Social media profile; none

Thanks to poems one can share, one can bare
Escape route is there straight up
How lovely! it can reveals inside out
despair
Instead tears we wear; masked

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

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

Whilst I was immersed in Bohemian Rhapsody
"Don't forget to smile" reminded me
Though I'm not a fancy, angry lizard
Just want to be a family wizard
Not every bed is green
Not every one is the same Win

He died four years younger than me
Although he left his legacy
I'm just a commoner
Leaving nothing like a pensioner
Only memories will survive when I die
Who will care the existance of mine

Learnt many weird things
I also have some similar stings
I can see his emotional insecurity
Thinking where is my dignity
Easy come, easy go
I am just a poor boy also

If I only want hassle-free
What I have to foresee?
I'm no longer a nominee
I have to be an escapee
Accepted that I'm a divorcee
My mom always says,
"Nothing really matters to me...
to me..."

I like the way I used to be
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
O' my queen and you're my rhyme

I'm monster creature, others homes
You knew all debts and dimes
Of my own, palace thorny throne
You dare not! way to find

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

Wearing big smiles, light the candles

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?

One day; an activity
All muscles - frigitidy
Symptoms of pathology
What's behind physiology?

'Minding it doesn't hurt' - a philosophy
Survival proportional to adaptability
Pain is just a sensory
All senses - derisory

The root: having a corporeal body
Dhamma: acceptability
Impermanance: reality
Attachment - orginality

Pumping out the poisoned blood
Returns to its beating heart
It flows through all arteries
Turmoiled in the capillaries
Whirlpool in the veins of thirst
Spreading all my body parts

Should I bleed like free flow
Even a foe I let him glow
Like a coin of head and tail
How can I put coffin nails?
If I let go, I shall die
He will follow same as mine

Alone at home busy
Where is she?
Duty is duty
No one around me

Pouring water; plants and lawn
Washing floor with the pump
Blossoming flowers remind me bygone
They used to run and jump

Yellow flowers were eaten by rabbits
Two whites and one black
They forgot missing two, memory habit
Of the rest -  brain's bank

Missing one was pragnant, Oh so sad,
Wish you were hidding in burrow
Where you dug near the shad
Not a dog bit it up to hollow

Miss you the everytime I feed
Green fresh water spinach leaves
Only the rest three came to eat
Where do you leave? Where do you leave?
Wai Phyo Win Dec 2018
You're fat, I'm flat
You may be on diet
I'm always tired
I'm holding a timebomb
Waiting for the tombstone

I couldn't resist
Sometimes I slipped
My heart is hollowing out
When you're crying loud
Then you freeze, without a beep

When all gone, shall we born?
Are you dare my darling?
That we're whispering imperfections
No one knows, Every one goes
When, how and where...Oh no

If you dare, start prepare
We can roll, we can craw
Under the wrecking ball
Escape to a place
Where there is no more race

It seemed you're ready
Only in your body
Cocooning in a safety
Waiting for a destiny
Oh Lord! make us prodigies
My love story

Students in every world
Never ever surrender
They defend their mother land
When their future seemed come to an end

Salute to you student protesters
You are truely the fearless warriors
You knew you are risking your life
Though determined to come for the fight

University is purely the academic arena
Never ever for the "well equipped rioters"
They fired two thousand bullets and tear gas canister
You're serving the duty to defend your parameter

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

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...

Who is the suiter, what they say?

Even a perfect cut diamond sure has needles and clouds as its born bigger
May not worthy for the museum collector
It has some value despite having major pinpoints and feathers
Rational thinking process is the only factor and matter

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

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

The puppetry arrays induce
Portraying their best
When they dance what puppeteers ******
The life scenarios throw dicēs to Zeus

desire peaceful destiny again

forecasting how and where and when
before they rest

They know not
what's inside your fragile heart
losing your future a la carte
not to depart from platinic love
a pure chemistry of beautiful art
a sharp saw cannot cut
of the true love that lasts like trust

They know not
I'm climbing the hill to see cloud nine
like commendos ready to fight as they're deployed
crossing stromy ocean destined to enjoy
I'm not letting you wander into the labyrynth
where there is the twisted serpants
their fangs full of toxic substance

They know not
how to plan best for your future
suffer like a cancer cachexia
I'm striving to find a way how to cure
blowing through an embouchure
seven times around the fortress wall closure
making sure it will fall as in book of Joshua

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

Yesterday I was forty nine
Surviving through all land mines
Soon I open my eyes
Of the morning sunshine
Taking deep breaths to carry on
There is a journey to move on

This day date back forty nine
I was sincere with pure mind
Getting age nearer to fifty
Full of twisty paths had passed indeed
I decided from now on
Want a tranquil life and so on

My humble request all to you
Pray for me I can look up to
Achieve my goals as a commoner
Don't want to be a blockbuster
I will try to be a good person
I won't ignite blazing arson

From now on till I die
Until I'm mummified
Will carry on with Buddha dhamma
Separating from 'Samudaya'
I am sharing all good deeds
Please say Sadu in heart deep

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

Whatsapp

I heard viberation out of the blue
just two minutes talk really like
"game over"
on screen in amusement park fool
a bit more than a missed
call stranger

Have to swim cross night
long and lonely
no energy to sleep back tight, in this
coldest night
literally surviving one and the only!
listening "Learn to be lonely" till
morning light

Wishing not to trigger another
stretched night
hoping for a good paper of
fortune cookie
anyway, a heart full of
thoughtful delight
You're always over my head like a
warm hooie
Based on true story
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
