If LOVE were simple then, for sure
We'd know the blessings it truly bestows:
We'd rid our life of sad refrains, begot of earthly woes;
Our wholesome love remaining ever pure.
When virtue lies in every thought and deed,
Or promise of a future time be met.
Then likewise your sweet kisses or your warm embrace
Would seal the bargain and, God speed,
There would be no cause ...

Rosebush
I want to drape the page
with memories, love
with wandering thoughts and
painful regret
I want to wonder
what I could be, and would
if I took my words and
made them come true
or is that unwise?
to wish for a change
for the dreams to leave my mind
and join the sunlight around me
I want to climb the tallest mountains
and trees
I would fall i...

Two souls
Two independent souls
Separated by land
Sky's apart from each other
Each in their homeland
Two souls searching
For what they had seen
In the world of their desires
That they saw in their dreams
Two souls walking
Deep in the night
Lost in the darkness
Searching for their light
Two lonely souls
Wishing to the starts
Asking for a way
To heal their scars
Two souls wanting
To f...

New horizon
For a long time
I was living without living
Hiding within myself
In the world I was dreaming
But I can't dream forever
That's something I forgot
Something I dismissed
While I was deep in my thoughts
And then I woke up
For first time in a while
I got free from the dreams
Where I was in exile
And I cannot describe
The feeling of awakening
The feeling of life
Is breathtaking
A...

Meet Me By The Shore
A sequel to Walking Down To The Lake
There she is, a former glow
that once filled a room the moment
she granted it with her presence,
a memory of what used to be.
The frigid air blowing through the trees
on this winter night reminds us
that the warmth we used to know
left us long ago.
What would it take
but a grasp of her hand,
an inviting smile, a long embrace
to shake ...

Children Of Paradise
This night with you and me
The pale moon
Besides the overtaking clouds
And the occasional drizzles
Here and there...
Our memories distant
And Closed
Even with the shadows of hope
And despair within our little fights
Like the children of Paradise
Time had played with us
Or we had spoiled it…
Yet tonight I can see you there
Alone with my memories

Leverage
I’ve peeled off my skin for you
I’ve let you crunch my bones,
Consume beyond my flesh
Beyond my visceral tissues
Beyond my beating heart
Beyond the fibres of my being
Down to my soul
I’ve let you gobble up my spirit
I’ve let you slurp up my mind
Lick the lasting crumbs
of my emotions
Everything in me
Everything making me, me
All that constructs me
All...

Before The Revolution
Angry nights of solitude
Blank faces of nightmares
Voiceless pain of memories
Everything is so crucial
Everything is so fine tuned
With each others like the
Ecosystem in and around
All are in perfect harmony
And I alone lonely along with my
Broken dreams and failed desires
Fractured faiths and buried beliefs,
Like the hermits walking on
Time h...

Flame-Licked Heels
I’ve been working on
Coming back from
The dead
Realising reality
Living in this world
Becoming me
I don’t have to know who I am
But I must know that I am
I am, I am, I am
I don’t have to know what I am
To deserve to be
I’m working on being,
Just being
Because I’ve been existing
Mindless, automatic, numb
Best autopilot, me
Coming back from the dead

Overconsumption
We go through life trying to fulfill
By feeling full
It’s easy to live in comfort and abundance
But maybe you drown,
Don’t live
And you just exist
Strip away luxury…
Could you be with just yourself,
And basic needs?
With only your thoughts for company?
Because we go through life trying to fulfill
By feeling full
We consume with our mouths
Pack, squeeze, cram...

Keep to the Right Path
Whenever you start to fret or worry,
If you feel impatient or in a hurry.
And you realise that you may be stuck
Walking your path of dreadful luck.
You feel despondent and dejected,
And by the whole world quite rejected.
Then you may ponder and you may think,
How much lower can my despair sink.
But can you just step off this road?
Can you set your mind to a cheerful mode?
Your view o...

The Deep Secret
she was talking in undertone
like the old hermits of the
Buddhist Monastery
not to prove any algorithm
or to put forward hypothesis
of social revolution
she was there with her
gentle smile and her bare arms
moving like gentle breeze
not like the smiling bureaucrats
shaking the cold hands
before the secret deals
she was looking around
