A Ghostly Show

 

Empty of its audience, red, plush velvet seats;

Sorrowful, in mourning.

No more echoes of applause,

the opening of a grandeur curtain,

Just a ghostly appearance,

Breathing in the past.

Dusty stage lights,

Cobwebbed orchestra,

Costumes bleeding out their vibrany; silently decaying.

What do you call a stage

without a captivating drama?

NO SURPRISE

 

My fate is not in your hand

GOD makes our fates alone

Our life are surely planned

GOD feeds the ant in the stone

 

World is certainly small

If compared to Galaxy as shown

Whoever believes is a giant

GOD to perish the giant alone

 

MY heart is calm and glad

Satisfied of what I own

Whatever you earn in the dark

SURELY you'll pay it at noon

Nancy Theater


No need to go to Theater 
Today is the end of the show 
I wrote you final letter 
Actor decided to go 
 

No need to read my poem 
Nothing else in the mail 
To save you of bad clime 
My heart, began to fail 

I hope you get my point 
I wish you can get me 
I'm sure the Nancy Theater 
Closed. Do you agree?

CONFIDENCE

If you learn from the past 
Improving your future 
Then you'll achieve the goal 
And reach it safely faster 

Pay an attention to move 
Know the direction to go 
Have time to Improve 
Act well, not only "show" 

Earn your people' regard 
And don't cross the fence 
Know the value of the word 
Now you've got confidence

Punk Rockers Don't Sing The Blues.

Put on my pants
Put on a show
Fake a smile
No one will know

Don't show weakness
Fake my emotions
Bury my anxiety
Just go with the motions

I gotta play fast
Need to sing out of tune
Because don't you know
Punk Rockers Don't Sing The Blues

Blind LOVE

You must know
Life is not a show
You go up, you go down
But stop acting like a clown


You may pretend you don't care
Anyway you know what we share
Every time we both meet
We're falling in love a little bit


I do love you but never said
I'll still be like a shade
Will be watching all your moves
One day you'll see it proves


That the one from the past
Was always first to give h...
