wings unleashed

Come fly! come fly with me!
Come join frolic into the free space with me,
and feel the wind rushing through your face

Come now! and stop calling me!
Come! ere the dusk fall and stars be my company
I sing and call for you to take flight,
taste the joy of flying with me.

Why are you still calling?
Why not spread your wings? you have not?
Then it is all too right for me to indulge,
for your share as well
in soaring through the open field.

lasted night

I look at the night sky, find none but Moon and Jupiter
in search for that whisper haunting me,
from eternity it derive
to eternity linger,
"Now is never here to stay," it seem to say
"It flees to every next moment"

"I know!"said I, with feeble reply
"I know now."

630720000 seconds

20 years=240 months=7300days=175200 hours=10512000 minutes=630720000 seconds.
I don't use the word "soul"
just like "love", both vastly over used
the word "passion" means but shame
of a mortals like me could easily commence
sometimes after 20 years, perhaps
I'll gain words to venture the land of poems
but as of now words flee
for shelters away from ambiguity
they too, are fear of the infidels
who fiddle the reign of His mighty cause,
and claim all their callings righteous.
perhaps a word a day shall suffice it
to gain my words in 20 years.

to sleep

Words vanished,
Thoughts escaped,
I dare another notion
will challenge my resting bed.
All asleep now, as I lay
my solitary in dreams to find
free from this cage in which I reside

All it takes is one

one drop that instigate sudden shower
one gust of wind that brought
one ghost of cloud that draw
one wave of downpour
All it really took is one.

one gesture of contempt that spread into
one vicious comment
one let out trivial anger
one err unwittingly occurred
that drew hundreds of others
All it takes is one

one word refrained from oppose
one mouth silenced from telling wrongs of others
one thought led to random kindness
one step back from rising conflict
one hands down from adding violence.
All it really, really takes is ONE.

I promise, you will only cross my mind in Summer.

You didn't hear this from me,
but the breeze that first touch your face
when you set foot on this land
said it's sad to see you leave
While the torching ray accompany
your journey home
The moon and all her
starry friends at night
will hide away in your sky
the wind can't reach as far as tide
to bid you a distant good-bye,
And I promise, this much I can,
Only in Summer will you cross my mind.

I stared at that blue sky

I stared at that blue sky
wondering why it's fairer than it was
a day before

something happened last I stared
when the sun yields no mercy
to render all its heat

As I stared and wondered
I realized
the sky is just as blue
but the parted clouds add to its beauty

why not!?

When you're down and out, stay there!
Cuz it hurts to be up and then tumble down
It's hard to kill the desire to move on
they are relentless just as the drive that propels
but try your best anyway, for the lack of better pursue
When you're down and out, stay, do your best to stay there.

A walk through the crowd

At face of indefinite future
I tread gently with grace
The hemline sweeps and
gathers uncertain air

2010年7月14日 星期三

I stayed two nights in a valley

what gives shade at dusk and dawn
turns at night, a silhouette darker than
the Prussian blue sky
its trees, while vivid in day light
unfurl as eerie blanket when
warm breeze frolic throughout its flight

Thy torching soul the beacon of light

I shed the tears you wouldn't cry
for the laughter I dearly missed

The light you see torching afar
are colors so vivid
that dance to the music of my sanity

hear my songs with eyes of me
hear them touch your heart
the sound of enlightened view
at a world of brand new glory.

be of me or not,
be of the world
you be all you can
as I did I can

Berban, the cat

Berban the cat, black with white belly,
overheard rumors from cats in back alley;
that somewhere there's a cat's coat just like his
but tanned its belly black in the sun, though not with ease
"A hard task to tack with," he thought
"but for a coat true black, that's well worth it!"
So he start to tan his belly, with every chance of sunlight.
no one in the family knows his plot, except the girl
who said to him one day,
"you can't tan furs black, you silly cat!"
"Oh!wait till I do, you'll see!"he protests
"it doesn't matter whether your belly's black or white,"
she said: "I love you just the same."
Berban paused and give it a thought
"Would you love me still if I persisted?"
She frowned, she grimaced, she tilted her head and sigh
"as long as you're happy, whatever you like..."

silent prayer

At lost, I say my prayer, murmuring lips utter but thin breath,
with hope they would transcend syllables and sound
prevail over wayward ego
that shadows journey homeward bound

Bring out the saint within; for I could not know how
and grant peace on whom may seek
to find that tranquil meadow
and cure this weary bleak


silent prayers gave no sound
no sound ever given
some traveler in dire err
longed for a beacon

some of my songs

some of my songs are all about you
you're everything beauty and so true
they can't sing themselves, even with help from the moon
so I have to bring them to you

when I sing, though so far from you
never before like now I miss you
If I can't sing my heart, I think there's no one else could
so I have to bring them to you

some of my songs are all about you
they are yours to measure
how much I'm crazy for you

some of my songs, oh, are all about you
they colored my heart when I'm feeling blue
I hope they'll do that to you


Gothical

by the trace of those bitter songs,

one find bits tattered along,


tell tales of ancient glory,

and sighs of looming weary,


what's missed are forever more lost,

retired to folds of chilling frost,


distant chanting encores mourning,

lifeless forms holds daunting eerie.

too fast

Today might be too late
Tomorrow beyond repair
What happens now isn't here to stay
As the river of time carry it away

Too fast, too soon
Too smart for no one's good
Too hot, too much
Too pointless to dwell in gloom

Chances are you'll miss it
Chances are you won't even miss it
The second chances here and there
Second counsel just out of this ear

STAY!

Stay! at least, awake till dawn when
light break through the darkest of a day
Once seemed an enduring despair
subside in sun's piercing ray

you can't catch that train of glory
or draw life from your pale reflection
you can't fly until you first fallen
or took a punch in the face

Stay just a while longer, and stay
trying just a little harder
That dim light is yet to shine, as you know
The world would never surrender

Stay! though your heart is weary
Stay! though it's troubled with worries
but if you stay and wait in patience
You'll stay when a new day begun.

I stumbled across a pen

All through with my toddler years
I stumbled across a pen
by power it bears give voice to my dreams
and make self-determined amends
that I cling to which I must rid
by fruits it yield savor sweeter than all
time stilled since I first taste it
only present suffice a solace
that gleeful sorrow upon our end
