In Waves
That phrase,
That phrase you love to say
It has become overdone, cliché
No, it’s not a phase
Wait,
Years, not days
And see
I will not change
Not this way or that way
Though I may grow,
I may expand in waves,
I will not change
To fit your phrase
I will only expand,
Expand in waves
Is that okay?
That I will stay?
That I won’t change?
That I can only expand,
Expand in waves?
Is th...

THE KNOWLEDGE
Nobody knows everything
But we should know what we do
Books are there for reading
And courses there to go
Don't say:"I know enough"
Your brain, sure, will freeze
Don't let someone to laugh
If you meet someone who knows
That the rule of good knowledge
Learn what you really need
The knowledge has a good bridge
To cross it, you must read

I have everything just right in my hand
Everything I've ever had
And I just don't want to be who my parents were
I don't want to know the mistakes and still make them
This is that time where time is giving me a grin
Superficial and evil and fun and filled
With the thought of endless happiness
If only I fall
Fail and believe
The tempting of the dream
The dream that...

I was young
I was young .. A simple statement that is the answer to many questions I am presented with
Why did you get drunk, and throw up in the hall way?
Why did you leave school, and truant all day?
How did you get pregnant, at just seventeen?
Why did you marry him, given what you had seen?
Doesn't it feel silly, divorcing already?
You're only 21, doesn't your life seem so craz...

Good old times
Old, black-white photographs,
Show soldiers, smiling, proud.
First guns in their hands,
Then bullets in heads,
They died for their fatherland.
Not long ago, when war has reigned,
It poisoned the peoples' mind.
Turned love to hate,
Made people die,
They died for their fatherland.
We say "We learned", but we all know,
That we didn't learn at all.
Just look around, people die,
Day fo...

Don't live or forget, but learn from the past.
If you live in the past
sadness will reappear.
If you forget the past
You can't learn from it.
So, don't live the past,
but don't forget the past.
Let it be your guidance
to be someone better
and to make better decisions
for the life you live.
The past is something you shouldn't forget
because whatever it is that you choose to forget
just be glad that it'd happened then not now.
Becau...

Spring Tanka
A winter bite that
mocks the spring, pincers its cocoon.
A life supported?
Cease one's internal decay,
Even ice melts. Love's fluidity.
