approaching dusk,
the darkness followed,
warm air passed over hay,
mind evade and baffle,
with a moment of hesitation,
reach and let go,
the place secluded,
agonizing and tormenting,
the desire soon fail,
with harsh noise scraping,
rough wall crumble,
the raven on edge,
the old well,
empty and filthy,
finally at dawn,
painlessly exposed...

use me,
abuse me,
but not to hate me,
love me or hate me,
you are always in me....

a smile for me,
a conversation with me,
a drink with me,
you are always with me....

tears in my eyes, my version blur,
my heart pounds, my body shivers,
push myself to the edge,
for them,
I must....

many thoughts in their mind,
innocent faces, can not hide,
I see...

one and only thing left in my mind
for them, I must....

When it comes to CARING,
It is like the shade under a huge tree,
Always give me back my strength to go on with my path.

When I see her SMILE,
I tend to forget what I have had in the day,
And give me a new energy to start over a new day.

When it comes to LOVE,
You all have the same HEART.
It is irreplaceable, the one and only love,
That is what I want to call it “Mother’s Love”.

For me,
I can ONLY say..… “THANK YOU MAY MAY (MOTHER)"

a day turns to night,
a night turns to day,
many days and nights,
many hours passed,
though nor I've changed,
you are in me,
every minutes expired,
with those seconds tick,
admit that I live with you,
live for you and by you....

the night sleeps
the light fill the lanes
the mirror behind
the planet so quiet
the shadow everywhere
in negative Fahrenheit
alone image motionless
granted
this world
so divided...
