They took their arms
and faced the ground
who will rise and who will fall?
the flare is up and now it starts
until the end, until were done.
A fire began
and the night is longer than it used to be
pitch black but it's clear
the smokes and fog are terrible
yet the world is fast asleep
before the dawn breaks
before the sun shines
one goal will be certain
one feud will be settled
I'm alive, I know I am
with one more gasp
I faced the ground
Goodnight..
*Goodnight..

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..

A painful truth
with a faithful look..
the lost of warmth
of her loving arms..
She lost her will
She'll not see
the beauty of the scenery..
She'll never talk
not anymore
staring at the empty door..
and if she smiles
just once a year
I'll wait for it..
I'll wait for you..

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..

A race to reach the solid ground
but it seems that we are going in
round and round..
A chase to reach our wildest dreams
will be our goal
let's make it clear..
follow me, I'll lead you there
you need not look any where
It is my choice as you can see
I'm coming home
just wait for me..

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...

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 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?

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..

The lighter side of the dark
is mostly reassuring
Though I haven't figured out
the things I should be doing
Calm and collected..
Calm and collected..

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..

I live in a town of many hills
an everyday scene of people
like a familiar gesture
of hands of the ticking clock
I walk uphill in the morning
and downhill as the days end
As I sat for hours and think
of dreams I've had before
countless tales at some point
to where failure is a design
and reality is an instant
The day will end in an endless chat
like skies colored gray
that turns to black
Don't close the door
please wait for me
Down the hill,
I'm coming home
I live in a town of many hills
an everyday scene of people..

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..

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...

A time in spring
I heard you singing
of dreams and things
and of leaves and trees,
sunshine from the window
they pierced like bullets
as I opened my eyes
are we different?
The move you made
a slow gesture of words
they spoke and tease me
with every wave of your hands
round and round you go
round and round I know
I'm stuck in here
I can't go out
I'll look at you one more time..
I'm home..

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..

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...

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..

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..

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..

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..

As I sat and stare
the events unfold
with a glare so cold
as it's meaningless
to give reasons as to why
this suffering is so sudden
with the way you look at my eyes
and with a glimpse
you turned your back
away from me
I start to count
each point is obvious
every minute worth seeing
every moments I recall
all the details I remember
Brave,the way you hold his hands
Cunning, the way he kissed your cheeks
Afraid, the way when our eyes met
and I assumed that it was too late
to smile back because I know
that you'd be gone
in a moment I turn
and it felt so wrong to feel this way
coz' I'm so right that I will lose
in this game in which
we never played all along
and the guilt it brought
just to think that it would be best
not to try and cross that line
just because it feel so cool
in a way we can't explain
and regret the days I spent
just to see the scene
I'am witnessing now
So, goodbye
a line that I will say
in a manner that I won't need
to say a word
as I close my eyes
as you go away, go away
leaving a lingering thought
in my head, so painful yet so calm
calm, like your heartbeat
as you kissed him goodnight
because you meant it..
I'm sure that you meant it..

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

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..

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..

pressed my fingers close
keep in time with those you like most
found a clue that is hidden
among the curtains and the ceiling
a glimpse of life I once saw
through the looking glass
through the looking glass
faded photos I kept
postcards and lettters that you sent
now the season is changing
it's autumn once again
Falling leaves and soft breeze
whispering winds slowly
careful and calm
what's there to see?
what's there to see?

As silence fills the air
beneath the cloudless skies
It gets darker every hour
as our weary eyes slowly close
You're moving closer as you sat
and you close your eyes to be away
away from everything
away from where we've been
A thousand faces, waiting people
A hundred hopes, a single wish
The world is fast asleep..
The world is fast asleep..
The night is calling
an open letter
The tears are falling
and it's keeping you
to write as nothing else is left
but to say it once again,
Goodbye..
say it one more time,
*Goodbye..

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..

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...

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..

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..

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...

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..

How does it feel to know
that your not alone, eyes are here
How does it feel to hear
that footsteps behind you
and echoes are clear
I can feel it now
so I'm asking you
if you were me
What would you do?
You've been through this you say?
and we are both afraid in the same way
I never thought, and I can't say
but I will tell you one more thing
my head would cost a lot
I'll keep it safe.

The sky turned silver this year
A lone proof of existence
A life worth remembering
A day that changes everything
It's like a paper thin balance
of dreams and of past
how long will it last?
A long journey to the peak
but what's there that we seek?
Mornings are great, they say,
All that's left is to pray
pray that this day will be good
pray that this life will be better
As the events unfold
I'll sit quietly and look up,
hold an imaginary candle and blow it up
and hum my self an awfully familiar tune..

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..

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

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?

This is me saying, bow and be humble
This is me saying, you only live once
This is me saying, be honest with yourself
This is me saying, there is no greater gift than to choose
This is me saying, like what you like
This is me saying, protect what you believe
This is me saying, man up
This is me saying, remember to breathe
This is me saying, learn to accept defeat
This is me saying, don't forget to remember
This is me saying, wear your best smile
This is me saying, learn to let go sometimes
This is me saying, be calm and forgive
This is me saying, don't just believe in what you hear
This is me saying, cry when the moment permits you to
This is me saying, say what you want to say
This is me saying, take your pills
This is me saying, be thankful first before you complain
This is me saying, feed your cats everyday
This is me saying, make your feelings reach
This is me saying, don't forget to sing
This is me saying, make things happen
This is me saying, observe not just look
This is me saying, you don't need many friends
This is me saying, take your chances while you can
This is me saying, read first then begin
This is me saying, routine *****
This is me saying, find a purpose for your freedom
This is me saying, humans are greedy
This is me saying, apologize even if it's impossible to be forgiven
This is me saying, don't be bothered with small details
This is me saying, there's nothing wrong just be you
This is me saying all these things to you
This is from me to you, I guess it's for me too..

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...

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...

I can still remember
how we used to be,
Floating on my mind
and in the corner of your eye
a light that never cease to shine
alive, I feel alive..
I can still remember
what we used to say,
with every words and promises
A hope that they would go
beyond our endless thoughts..
But now you're gone
Red lights in a dark room
with sleepless eyes we look
an endless stare
a moment before it all ends
I'll be waiting for you
I'll be so much better you'll see
I still keep with me
all the things you've left
locked in a drawer
in my room,
a memory of the past
a time, a moment in my life
where I wish
I could go back..
