Two decades has it been?
or a year short to make it three
Relieving thoughts for a better being
Lets rewind  again and start to sing..
Though we say that we keep on searching
but end up not gaining anything
shouldn't we go back and ask ourselves
if are we really looking for something
for we may see, or we may find
those things we've left behind
we may skip for a decade and regret
but we will never ever forget
the lines to the song and its yearly meaning
the familiar tune that has been awfully playing
today, again and again at the back of our heads
so embrace the day for it is yours
and blow the candle to complete its course..

I lost something on the way,
a collection of memories...
Swallowed by the sea,
stolen by the waves
drifting aimlessly
from the river to the sea
no turning back, flowing
seeds started growing
I'm just living for now...

A hungry young sailor
paddled his worn out raft
searching for dry land
came across with a young bard with his guitar
on a floating log waiting for luck.
Saved, he helped the hungry sailor
paddle in search for dry land.
Minutes later found themselves
on still waters, sign of good luck.
Dry lands ahead..
There sat a lonely barber
by the river bank
The bard asked the barber
what made his heart sank
and he explained how
he lost his good scissors
on a bet with his bad luck.
I don't mind giving you these
the hungry sailor said
not just one one
but two new scissors
the barber jumped
I could give you free haircut anytime!
the barber exclaimed
but before that' the sailor replied
he's hungry' the bard said
too bad, if it's food, I don't have'
the barber feeling really sorry
with a sigh they fell silent
oh I know someone who can ease our worries!
stated the barber sounding resilient
he told them about the fantastic cook
his foods taste good as it looks
So they started to search for the cook
but where to? Asked the sailor in a shook.
He's near the woods, in a sunflower field
the barber answered as they left the raft and began to walk
How I wish I could follow them, but I can't
For I'm asleep, I'm just asleep...

The year of the strangest weather
watch the sky covered in white feathers
My heart screams from utter discontent
my mouth is dry and wavering, lips gone pale and cold
while I stare at the clock, I know I'm getting old
He said; 'A step forward and you'll end up two steps backwards'
I'm at standstill, watching the world in high-speed
Again he whispered; 'Or two steps backward and you'll be back again from the start.'
snap up from a daze, as I counted the days
with resentment he said; 'three jumps and a white card will get you there'
to which I replied; 'three jumps and a what card won't get me nowhere'
You're clever, I see, so why not be free?
You're whispering again, I'll listen, but what good will it do me?
If you'll embrace goodbye, there's nothing more
three jumps will get you there, three jumps, now do it and see
I jumped. The third one set me free...

Recommend a book about giving up
or just giving in without giving love.
Recommend those things that you love most
Do it now before everything is lost.
You greeted me good morning and goodbye
never even had the chance to cry,
But you say we could try again
not today, but I'll say
If you're coming back, if you're coming back
don't keep me waiting..
I know that this is goodbye
yes this is goodbye
Though I'm sad today
I know tomorrow I will be okay..

No good for no one now
that is what I feel..
You had me worried sick,
wondering while you're asleep
I never want this
No more, please
You had my heart dangling
thin line tightrope walking
and I cant help, but blame myself
for everything..

Like a full colored page of a book
in a blooming romance we got hooked.
On the other side of every thing
we held each others arms as we sing
about this wonderful feeling.
and beautiful sights we are seeing
Whistling a lovely tune
hoping this won't end so soon.
In a crowded place or an empty room
there's always you and me..
Like the sun,stars or even the moon
there's always you and me..
Even at the end of every fantasy
there's always you and me..
And waking up in a dry reality
there's always you and me..
From flying high to falling down
always, it will be You and Me..

Your favorite CD's are waiting
I think going home is a good thing.
Your lover's messages on your phone
and the cat that you left all alone
empty trays and the kitchen sink's left unkept
I think going home is the first step
before you deal with every little details
of the odd and the unexpected
Your favorite books are waiting
to be opened and read once again
bookmark stains on the pages
you have read over and over
turned yellow with some cobwebs on the drawer.
Your favorite matress is waiting
neatly folded but cold and yearning
to be warm again with you and your pillow.
they are waiting; your collection of guitars
each strings unplayed and slowly becoming dull
not as shiny as before, standing on the cold floor
I think going home is the safest way
so I think it's best if you do it today...

It's half past six
are we destined to meet?
I think today is okay
nineteen twenty-six...
I was caught in a line
and you got me
I think we'll be okay
nineteen twenty-six
A magical smile
paired with my whimsical grin
made things completely okay
nineteen twenty-six...
A foreign feeling
in a comfortable way
this morning is great
this feeling's okay...
nineteen twenty-six
wish we could repeat
this moment again
in nineteen twenty-six...

Today we part, and bid our goodbyes
for tomorrow I'll be better
Yes, tomorrow will be better
I might be sad but it's okay
I think we need to go our separate ways
Yesterday was fun. Thank you.
but I have to go on now without you
It will be alright, I know I can
I will be alright, yes, I know I can
So goodbye, somehow I'll make it through
So goodbye, in some way I'll make it without you
I might spend this life saying goodbye
But don't worry I will be fine
so then, goodbye...

My feelings that won't reach
no matter how hard I try
Embraced by the moonlit sky
It's hard to say goodbye.
Your feelings that won't show
but it's always there you know
Fell like the rain from the sky
In the end we'll say goodbye.
Sunday conversations
A faint, like sort of revelations
feelings and anxieties
might lead us to confessions
careful steps we take each day
may take us to the ground someday
careful words we say each time
might make us fall deep this time
Just trust me for I will be true
hope this feelings reach you...

Rain flooded this town
soaked and submerged in tears.
Drops of hope falling from the sky
are we aware of the things we might try?
Rain flooded this town
disturbed and awaken from its sleep
Rays of hope hidden from the clouds
are we safe from its thunderous sounds?
Should we blame it on the irony?
or from the leaves that keeps falling from the trees?
If they say tomorrow might be brighter than today
could we just sleep and let this day pass away?
Rain flooded this town
deep regrets and woeful sighs
clench your fist and close your eyes
wait for the sun to shine again...

This is me saying all these things to you
This is from me to you, I guess it's for me too..

Today, I opened up my drawer.
Inside the box, I slowly remembered
a part of me forgotten, all over
days we count by number..
Past we left behind
became souvenirs kept inside
Memories of days long gone
and those time that we've had fun..
Year flew by really fast
good times we thought would last
We know bitter-sweet ending's really hard
so I say it's about time we move forward...

Heartbreak starts!
she screamed, one of the few things I hate
a heartbeat stops
split in two, cracked
but what else is new?
how low.. I know, how low..
you can go.. I know you can go..
For a lifetime, I've been walking.
In the mean time she's been wondering.
can we go back? it's too late now.
we've been wandering, all for nothing..
just be calm now..
I'll be calm now..

Why are we here? What is our worth?
Few of the questions we will never solve
We walk this way and live our lives
Still we die so there's no need to try.
In the end all we want is to be remembered..
We spend our lives trying to ponder,
discovering things from beyond and over.
But fame and glory will be left behind
the moment we reach the final stop
I guess..
In the end all we ever wanted is to be remembered..

When all the lights fade away
and all your hopes die in vain
I know that you can make it through
I will still be here with you..
When all your friends have turn you down
and your dreams seems far away
I know that you can make it through
I will still be here with you..
I know that after every rain there's a rainbow
after all the tears, there's smile for you and me
and after all the years that will come and pass between us
There will still be love I know..
There will still be love I know..
When the curtain falls on you
and the cheering crowds are gone..
Even if the sun will never shine again
I know that we can make it through
I will still be here with you..
I know that after every rain there's a rainbow
after all the tears, there's smile for you and me
and after all the years that will come and pass between us
There will still be love I know..
There will still be love I know..

Otherworldly, the way you look at me.
A taciturn nature, the way others see
This time I'll be docile,
and give you an honest answer..
With each question I surrender
With every turn please remember
I am me and you are you..
I am me, I'm true..

Pale as the day
my life has passed..
As slow as a teardrop
I greeted the past..
Though moments come, obviously they go
one more look and they'll be gone I know.
All is lost, a life's defeat
All is lost, the end complete..

Calling winds turns to breeze
embracing the sky and clouds weeping
gentle and silent falling tears
touched the grounds singing..
each drop's a frail beat
subtle echoes through your ears
close your eyes and fall asleep
find the sunshine in your dreams..

Hey, do you think we could change,
and be better men today?
Who cares about that,
the world is rotten anyway..
Have you seen the news?
It's everywhere,
yet people take little effort to care..
Like I said before,
This world is rotten anyway..
Do we count every little good deed we make?
but still ignore the kindness we get along the way..
Well, that's just normal,
This world is rotten anyway..
We wash our hands clean,
and yet commit another sin..
No need to worry,
The world is rotten anyway..
The fact that it is true,
Should I blame you?
But, who cares if it is true or not?
If the world we were in still rot?

Sunday, Monday
full of thunder..
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
a flood of tears..
Friday, Saturday,
I will love you everyday..
and at the end of days,
I will do it once again..

Across the street,
a busy scene
of the daily things
people are doing..
I took a sit,
on a pavement curb
and observe the sight
of the sun so bright
Morning as they call it,
came in once again..

The silver sky faded
but it left a bright sparkle
and added a new leaf
amidst the calmness
of the tragic winds
that left my heart withered and dry
out of loneliness
the world cried
a flood of teardrops
left me in the dark seaside scene
with warm candle flames
that kept me up all night
whistling, wondering, and believing
that there's an awful new meaning
to the tune we're so used to singing
as the candle melts
a day ends, with no regrets
with each graceful steps
I'll take along these twisted stairs
I'll remember how I cried every year
seeing my balloon fly
this year, for a change
I'll let go and smile
as I watch it fly
on a clear October sky..

When you see a silver light
and when you feel it's glow
I'll be there,
I'll be with you
you'll never be alone
When you feel the deepest warmth
a touch of hand could do
I'll give you a soft embrace
you'll never have to be away
It's not over..
I know that everything's not lost..
When you're lost among the crowd
and when you couldn't see
Just look above
beneath those skies
your heartbeat feels so near
so near, you're with me
It's not over..
I know that everything's not lost..

Life is sinking
submerged in teardrops it cried..
Hope is drowning
carved in fate it survived..
Day is fading
as it melts the candlelit nights..
Hands are waving
hoping to be noticed and be saved..
Smiles slowly giving warmth
even to those with the coldest of heart..
Dawn slowly breaking
as it keeps on reminding
that life is worth living..
Now, mornings calm and forgiving
one reason why heart keeps on beating
as we breathe and live for all it's worth
what comes next is up to you..

A life began from a speeding van
weightless, the day has started
across the street in an intersection
a clear view from above
as you float in a feather-like way
with an umbrella to make your way
you glide, and soar
to where the winds take you.Faraway..
But the higher you soar
the deeper you fall
fall like a drop of rain
from a raincloud of a storm
and sink like a stone
a descent into the maelstrom
at the end of days you'll ask yourself
who will save you?

Given are the chances
and by chance they are given
lesser nights of sleep
made me think too deep
just a beat away
before the coming day,
a sleep for a day or two
can't think of any clue
that this morning will be
a life less ordinary..
So take each step
and don't look back
mornings are great they say
you don't need to runaway
for it's a brand new day..

another you will be me..
while I try to be you.
they say it'll be us
so don't think that I'll pass
this life with you or without
just shout it to me
so that I could hear you
see it clearly from here
a heartbeat so near
so take it from me
it's not taken from you
just be like me
and I'll try my best
to be just like you..

It started from the ******
but it's nowhere to the end
like a shallow river flowing
where it leads no one knows
just when you thought
that things will be better,
it fell down crumbling
like the rocks from the river
from here it never gets better..
and in the end it tastes more bitter..

A faint white light
and still frames in sight
whispers from walls
blur decor of sorts
impairment of my senses
leads to my loss of innocence
a dark red-gray thought
the impurity and youth..
He, with a lack of understanding
said life is just the beginning,
while She the other friend
says it all starts where it ends,
the indecisive Me always in between..

She's in to long walks
yet she hates wearing shoes
she digs my poetry
but thinks my kind of music
is just like a catastrophe
then we would argue
where it ends, who knows
she's a like a rival of sort..
can't forget the time
she got mad at me
when I thought its just an injury
and she said don't go,
or you'll be injured once more..
If I would call it quits,
I'll be into deep..
If I stay, she'd go,
I've had enough of it..
With a short temper
she gets mad easily,
but she's not indifferent
and knows when to say sorry
and when she looks at me
I know that things will be fine..
If it starts to end,
we'd rather be good friends..
She's fond of sudden dates
whether it's in a fast food or in a grocery
wonder why until now she's thin,
eventough she eats a lot often..
If she calls in sick
need to be with her quick..
and if she'll say she'll die
I might really cry..
and if I'll be a king
I'll vote for her as queen
But if it starts to end,
we'd rather be good friends
for I might fall to deep..
for I might fall to deep..

Can you still recall
the days that passed when you were young..
playing pirates with wooden swords,
the adventure of a six years old
Hide and seek and climbing trees
those days when we're free..
Be smart inside the class,
or just a shy nobody
where you find friends
whom you thought that will last..
Life in slow motion
vivid color of days..
world on high speed,
every moments we chase
they're long gone..
Running on the streets all day
on summer days and month of May,
or sitting by the window
watching the rainfall
paperboat, coffe cups and matchstick flags
walking  on tiptoe
feeling the earth's warmth..
cheap marbles on sight
watch the kite takes its flight..
as it flew away, so high
it will be ok if we try..

This is me, a door without a key
a life lived collectively
longing to be free..
This is you, the exact opposite
full of triumphs and degree
a life in reality
Bitter beers and empty talk
each time we crossed path,
you say tomorrow will be new
yet nothing really changes..
Armed with wit and courage
we pushed through our lives.
Decades come and go
yet nothing's really changing..
One step forward skillfuly
flip the pages of your book,
This will be your everything
A drop of tear, an endless rain..
A new day started torn roses everywhere,
A news from oversesas, abitter tragedy
40 years of giving in, they opened up their eyes
You walked and lived your life
As if nothing's really changing..
Again I woke from a shaking fantasy,
Like Kaijus from the movies
Big waves that stormed the seas
Armed with love and peace
We'll fight and lend a hand
You say the world goes on
and it's like nothing's really changing..
Flip the pages of your book
like in the mirror you overlooked
A silent weep so desperate
a dying wish, someone save me..
One by one I take each step
careful and heavy,
you always say that it's not a good idea
Part by part I think aloud
and share you my story,
But then you'll say just shout it out
just shout it out..
Passing days,  they stitch our lives
surreal scenes of waiting in line,
uncertainty for you are me
I bet you're longing to be free..

A towering compound I live in
where frames glittered every morning..
they shine like bright sparkle,
under the bright sunshine
and song like chatter fills the air
day by day, again and again,
different rooms with different tunes
different stories in voice-like melodies
I'm awake, I can hear them now
on the count of three,
will you sing with me?

Bitter beers and empty talk..
swaying moods with happy thoughts..
few of the good things
that never last..
I guess I'll pass..
for now I'll pass..

It all happens when you close your eyes
things which aren't meant to be
Silent lies and lullabies
until now it's haunting me..
Soft words underneath
whispers that echoes through my ears
keep it that way,
keep it away..
keep it away..

Ash like snow covered the town
a black and white feeling..
with a chrome look
and gray colored gesture
she sat and stare..
A dozen hourglass in sight
and a pocketwatch she held tight
along with her blank look
and pallid face,
she murmured; 'you're late'
with the most absent-minded tone
she could make..
Am I late? I asked myself quietly
Yes you are, yes you are, she replied,
A voice as smooth as it's dreamy
defies her silly looking eyes towards me
Where am I?, I asked her
She answered, You're stuck on reverse as you can see..
She asked for the hourglass that I hold so tight
I gave it to her, confused, not thinking if it's right..
I shouted wait, can I take it back?
She looked at me, well then, would you like to redo your life?
A quiet nod that means yes,
You're one odd fellow I guess..
As she turned it over once again,
sands of time free flowing
Embrace life, open your eyes
this is one great morning..

Breathe carefully
the clock that ticks
Slow movement
from the hand that keeps
my eyes from closing
choosing to sleep..
The willing waits
till the dawn breaks..
The keeper keeps
and picks its own pace..
slowly..
Shall we?

Lying in your lap
I feel you gently stroke my hair
I slowly open up my eyes
I can see your smiling face
Forever seems a day away
so close that I can feel
the warmth of your soft embrace
eternity is here
Now everywhere I look
It's your face I always see
I think it's true,
there's no doubt
I'm falling seriously
in your arms, where morning dews
and orchids come together
Listen up, I've got to tell you this
for me this could mean everything
I know it won't be long enough
So I want you to know..
You can wait and crave
or just go and take it
leave me here,
still I'll be waiting..
I'll be waiting...

Annoying sleepless nights
staring at the ceiling
humming tunes and lullabies
I hate this feeling..
A feeling of discontent
A mind full of struggles and disarray..
A hand full of choices I took
still, it's not as easy as it looks..
Break of dawn
I'm all alone..
morning filled with clear sky
once again is it okay if I try?
a calm feeling of acceptance
somehow it feels like everything has been forgiven..

Winter is coming
Bright lights and silver linings
Golden memories
endless whispers of slight breeze
End of fall
is like a sand in an hourglass
in constant motion
hurrying down till it's gone
Like the season
that changes in a moment
Inevitable as it seems..
Cover your eyes
and you will see
Read the signs and pay attention
Just don't ask me questions
because I don't know
Come let's discover
Good vibrations..

So clear yet so clever
this never ending street,
overflowing with sigh..
Arrivals doesn't mean forever
yet departures won't be goodbye..

"Let  all the pieces fall"
I heard one man said,
just when something
gracefully landed on my head
a piece of a puzzle
it's blank and it is white
I can see it clearly
in this cold cloudless night..
I asked myself: "what's this?"
The man quietly whispered:
"it's white am I right?"
I nod my head and said yes
He then smiled and said:
"well then, goodnight"
He walked away and disappeared
A man covered in white beard.
As soon as it happened
I quickly noticed at the end
white pieces of puzzle
from the sky they're slowly falling
I held my hands up
and for a moment I said:
"Tonight will be white"

Life at its peak..
too slow to notice..
too fast to remember..
