As I stroll through the summer fields
The insects enjoy their afternoon picnic
I am happy to provide.
Don't reject me because
I am not a musician

My heart is
beating orchestra
for you....

Hurry...put your head on my
chest and listen..

The music may not
last long dear...

Why does it always feel like
no one's listening
when I talk?
I'm never loud enough..

Like Mozart’s Cherubino, I know nothing of love
but I am waiting on the runway, idling like a jet
I am burning my composure
I am inviting trouble
I have hidden gifts
and a steely will
oh, loveless lockdown
We sons of wars know it and know its sounds. It's a gray tale that wears a red cloak on cold nights. It steals every smiling piece, so you see nothing here but silence.  In the morning the children fill their eyes with clouds and in the evening, you can smell wailing. The cracks in our rooms' walls are like the torn souls and our wedding beds are red as the colors of our streets. Young people sit in the corners waiting for their foggy fate, and hands only know failure. Without any sin, we are sons of wars.

Pink plastic flowers
Strung across the barren trees
Like sakura blossoms
They slowly sway

Depressing 5 days
Since I've been sober
5 wonderful days
When society rejects you
Nature will open its wide arms
And let you in
