The things that never will (or was it the Will that never thinks? Honestly it's been so long that I forgot)
I stargaze in my own room,
with thought of holding you.
The melody of songs I don't know,
make me wonder what there is to behold.
With a gentle laugh,
I stand starstruck by your words.
Like a child I stand below it all,
seeing colour that aren't letting you go,
as the stars paint a portrait of your smile,

Résumé
Résumé / Michael Kwack
Love is,
like art,
dull without passion.
Marriage is,
like enterprise,
tough without fortune.
Home is,
like chair,
harsh without comfort.
Life is,
like sleep,
dry without dream.
Death is,
like letter,
empty without story.
Will is,
like poem,
absurd without wit.

Return of the Will
Will lurks somewhere
in all our indecision.
A will too weak to stir

A will deformed
by dirty songs and dreary.
What will steel the will
this world has robbed us of?
We need a war
to steel the will again.

I Aim
I Aim
I aim to be as true to all
As I have learnt from being small
Tell it like I see it when I'm clear
Zip my mouth if I'm not my dear
Now as time rolls on I find I still
Have a very strong unbending will
None too shy to state my case
Toe to toe, face to face
Tempering the above with concern
For others views where I may learn
More about this world ...
