Every word I say is nothing more but kindling
Yet this voice cracks and cough as I speak
So here might be my own last reflection
To all I treat as one of my own siblings
An elegy to my curses out to finally rest
And of fallen mercy no longer lingering

I meet you at the silver lining of my dreams and reality
I want you there with me
And for me to not wake
For time flows around in this place of truth
So that we may spend as long as we want
Only me and you
At this silver lining of dreams and starlight
It drew us in from our first sight
So that whenever we dream:
we can come to this place at night
From the height of the stars we can see everything
And everyone
But they can't see us
For we are the silver lining
Far above all else

Here i am,
alone in a room,
the room where we first met,
where it all began.

Here i am,
alone in a room,
where, my first smile blooms,
where, my first love blooms.

Here i am,
alone in a room,
a room, full of memories of us,
memories of us that can not be back.

Here i am,
alone in a room,
where you teach me how to laugh,
where you teach me how fly.

Here i am,
alone in a room,
where you let me feel to fall in love,
and where you let me feel the pain of my heart breaking apart.

Here i am,
wandering if i can still meet you one last time,
the you, who completed me,
the me, who thought, that i can't live without you.

Here i am,
alone in a room,
a room where you left me,
and still waiting, waiting for you to come back.

Here i am,
alone in a room,
where, my first tear fall,
where, my first love gone.

I know. I know we cannot be together anymore,
but, even though you broke my heart apart,
i can't still stop myself to love you more,
and i am happy to say, I Love You.

Here i am,
alone in a room,
the room, where i will end myself,
to stop the love and pain surging in my heart.

I hope in the next life,
i will meet you again,
and will love you again,
and never be apart again.

But for now,
all i want to say for you,
Thank you for everything,
I Love You, and Good Bye.

How music flows throughout the warm zealous air,
well delivered for every ear,
How grand, how optimistic it spreads for all to hear,
It gives us hope so non shall fall nor fear,

It is the art that all men wish to follow the melody they seek,
It blends all emotions of man too its greatest peak,
All the pain and joy in a harmonious union of peace,
Creating a portrait that fades as it molds to the perfect piece,

Such youthful beauty that lies awake
In smiles that hide such a frail pale heart
Grows a shadow around a glowing radiant face
Weary gentle golden eyes knows no escape

Many questions have been eagerly ask
Yet answers come so slow to even pass
Misty country fields and wondrous night sky
As crackling ember ashes scattering light

Oh my tender kind simple fellows
Such hearts are glaze and mellow
Moonbeams rays touches the darken house
Serene and silent as a church mouse

Painted portraits with palettes of black and blue
Starry is the nights that only few have viewed
To stay awake with life so endlessly grey
Knowing well the world is a chaotic fray

Dreamers tear their mournful souls away
Lover’s passions fades like summers day
Swirling winds flow through the grassy plains
Twinkling stars that kisses my sorrowful pain

It’s natural to think before -
To ages, gone and past
But "past" can never hold much more -
Than what you thought of last

It seems as though it seems enough
It seems like it’s the end
It seems as though the winds blew rough
Before your wounds could mend

Perhaps you think that all is said
And none that’s left to see -
What lies beyond, what lies ahead,
What we’re still meant to be

When you are born, you are destined to die.
The earth you came from, you will forever lie.
But in your life, you'll have a chance for life.
Not life, for it's claimed by the reaper's scythe.
But in courage, left for us to behold.
Not in blood, and not in gold.
To preserve life is the ultimate reward.
For life is something nobody can afford.

I swear they can see them quite clear
Over the trenches the same face of fear
you can hear them muffle and whisper
Voices of foes from the other side

You can hear them calling
Marching through field of the dead
They fought till the end
Till they fell with our fallen side by side

how can the moon still shine being so alone
how can the midnight sky be starry bright
how can nature be silent and peaceful in tone
how can the breeze whisper so cold every night

I hold you closer than I ever knew I could do
hoping this is not a mere dream or your silly ruse
I thought I’d recognize when love was true
just a foolish hopeless romantic who fell for you

I thought the birds would sing and sparks would fly
in mind i hope that this moment would pause in time
I held you hoping you'd never leave me and take flight
hope its true when you said I love you that special night

And so I watched the sky
where the sun shines
and the birds fly
with such grace and beauty

Flowers bloom
and wind rises
sweet, sweet smell
and flavour rises

its life that shines
brighter than anything
it was her eyes and smile
that burst with feelings

Love comes to me
and stays by my side
it was always her who showed me
what this poem was about

Time goes e'er nearer to heart of mine
Shines brighter than how diamonds shine
Most precious indeed, this gem of the sea
Wonder however, how it came to be
Yonder stalks in the furled sails of rice fields
Planted by humble farmers in dearest abode in the hills
Yonder nightingales in the starry night sky
As I lie awake, lying on the grass each night
Pointing to one particular star with a finger
And leading and forming to shape it better
You know what I found?
Warmer than fire, louder than sound
Is the shape of the heart that even though we're apart
I'll find my way back to you
I promise this is true
For as the tree grows in every year
Drink to the hopes that I'll return, have no fear
As the sunset lows darker each tick of the clock
You'll know when the time comes that I shall return, love

Flowers are pure,
flowers are dear,
they are colorful,
they are beautiful,

They sit in the distance,
they look content for instance,
they attract bees with persistence,
they make the most heavenly presents,

They are full of life,
they are full of right,
it's a wonderful plant,
they're full of sense,

When you leave them home,
they actually cry and mope,
they can actually move a stone,
they will actually wait for you to woke,

When they are together,
they talk together,
they think together,
they love together,

Violets with blue shimmers,
Roses with their red glammor,
each unique in it's traits,
each will never break,

Just to have them near,
takes away my fears,
takes away my tears,
makes me heart them dear.

I sit here alone,
Remembering the days that have gone....
Past words and feelings still
so fresh...
And suddenly from the darkness of my room I get the so much wanted cold embrace of Lady Death...
I leave this world behind with a heart full of joy...
I still can hear the birds and your heart beating next to mine...
I get flashbacks from when we were one...
Suddenly I wake up and find you sleeping peacefully in my arms and I think to myself
"It was just a dream...."

Dream peaceful dreams
My love, my sweet
I'll be there waiting for you

Where gentle wind blows
At the golden lake
In sunlight flowers bloom
And in moonlight they rest

Dream good dreams
My love, my sweet
I shall watch over you

May this melody, in your heart
Even when we are forced to be apart
Live on as though I've passed

Remember days when the world was our friend and our home
Trust in our family was all we had known
But as fate has twists and turns
And new truths are revealed
Know the love that we shared was all real
Even if it was just me

Remember days when our innocence made the world pure
Memories giving me strength to endure
And as our fate twists and turns
And new truths are now revealed
Go on be safe take care
away from storms that cloud over
remember me even if others forget

We create our own little world to keep us hidden from reality.
Our own reality against the world's reality is very different.
We do this to hide the horrifying truth that this beautiful world of ours bear.

Oh sweet and blissful Helena beautiful flower of this native isle's

Upon my joyful days as a youth that has once transpired

This test you have gave me, I have passed with great ease

The music that has once flowed, now has since ceased

The song's you have sung during the warm afternoon with your lyre

Sadly those grand and wondrous days have now expired

As I leave you in my most cherished memories

I have come to accept this heavy burden with peace

Oh my sweet dear Helena so young and carefree

Please do not be hurt by my words, still smile zealously for me

Our faith to one another has endured long but never enough

Now destiny seeks a different yet a much greater path

Helena the flower from the far tropical east I shall always miss

The days I've been with you has been a blessing

I shall treasure the moment when we once exchange our kiss

The sun and stars ,
Light up the darkness
Making the sky bright
And showing us where to go

They light the night sky
Giving hope for a new morning
And a new day
A new day to make change in the world they shine so far above

So when you see them
Dancing across the sky
Know they will always be there, no matter how far or high

Staring at the dawn horizon...
The sun is going again, hiding beneath the sea...
Trying to reach it..
Only my arm moves, but my feet...

Wondering what was i doing in this life...
Locked up in this land by my own thought...

What i have seen this far...
And What i haven't seen....

I want to see what the sun see...
I want to be free like the sun is!
Meet the stranger that i miss!
Challenging the world!

Just wondering...
What a spectacular sight i will face later?
imagine it!...

There's nothing for you to do
you"ll keep on running around
deciphering every soul
every nightmarish scream
until you finally wake up
they'll be a distant dream
but no you're still asleep
until then keep living the lie
full of creation and ruins
even when both eyes
are open or close
you still sense each scene
you hear cold puzzling whispers
from your ear to your mind
not knowing where the voices come
till the sun rises and sets
and the gleam of the moon
your still not there quite yet

You, in your corner
Me, by the window.
I wonder how it would feel
To close that gap.
Is it weird, I ask myself
with a nervous laugh.

Those intense eyes
silently gazing away,
Nobody seems to notice it
but how I wish it was me
that was reflecting in your eyes.

Smiling to yourself,
isn't that cheating, i say to myself
and i would get embarrassed
all on my own.
Ah, she's looking this way
Was I too direct?

As flowers bloom and wilt,
Our time is also fading,
You, in your corner
Me, coming nearer.
Did you finally notice,
I smile at that nervous face.

Let's leave the present
And fly to the future,
A future of you and me,
In our own corner

The looming nights veil the world in mystery
The moon reveals nothing but a glimmer
Of what is to happen and makes the mind ponder
What is there to wonder and where shall people wander?

The horizon aglow with creeping orange light
Through the Days that shall never be forgotten

We bore heavy chains.
Cast from pride and denial and fear,
We trudged across a landscape of our own tears.
We trampled underfoot,
All who might have stood.
We curse our laughing, decadent masters,
Taunting, cruel masters,
Whose whips strip raw skin from our bleeding backs.
We can’t look at them,
We’ve never seen them.
Backs to us,
Our skin has been stripped away,
A new flesh appears underneath.
That of the masters.
We’ve been lashing ourselves inside.
We are the true masters.
But we can’t see that,
Because we’re not allowed to look.

where I swore my oath joyfully
I did my duty and smiled with pride
even if it means that i would die

that liberty shines bright so do not fear
sing for me though i couldn't hear
the hour is near for i am to be free
bury whats left under the willow tree

if i die today as a martyr
do not shed to much a tear
as the calm night fades to dusk
tomorrow there will be more of us

I look down
There they are
The dying of the town
The wounds that have left a scar

As I walk past
The dying moan
They long for their time to have passed
For them to have flown

I walk through the injured
One man grabs my leg
Here in the dead of winter
I shiver

He is only a boy
Whom body has been blown
He is a broken toy
Left to moan

I crouch down
His eyes are glazed
The dying of this town
Will never be praised

"Mum."
Is what they say
Crying out for there families
In this day so grey

"I am here."
He is too badly damaged
The boys whom I used to endear
Boys once so fragile

They are toys of war
Crying out for there mothers
They are on deaths door
Looking for their mothers

Tears leak from my eyes
As I look upon his passing
The strength gone from his eyes
In every passing

Standing up
The boy is dead
His last words a mumble
For his mother he pled

I want to flee
But if life was so nice only
As the sun sets among the trees
I realize that Reality Is so Lonely

i am lost in thought and still in this world
i question whether you could ever hear
for i wish you could speak even just one word

who am i to judge and who am i to ask
thrown into a world lost and starved
confused by needs and desires i mask
kindness of man at times swerved  

i am but still a lowly sinful outcast
who has lost everything and have nothing left
bless not me but those who have passed
bless those that suffer in this earthly theft

show them the mercy where i had most doubt  
for they are forgotten downtrodden and torn
aren't we all outcast once please don't cast us out  
guide those who still question why they were born

Sorrowful hurtful smiles we give them
Such who wander the cold dark streets
Hiding your pain in tattered sheets

Hoping for a soothing loving hand
To help you and fully understand

With eyes that watch the world grow old
Perhaps someday you'll all be healed
Waking up in warm heavenly field

You will feel what you wanted to feel
Safe within a simply special warm home
The feeling of closing your eyes and soar

Cold breeze that brushes and passes
Breaking the silence, we awaken in a panic

I imagine that I could fly.
Above the clouds and thunderous storms;
A place I know where I belong.

Staring-up, I get caught in a daydream,
Imagining things that keeps me smiling,
My visions, hopes and dreams.
I can see them there,,, it's amazing!

Life may often be struggle.
After all, it is a constant battle.
The chance of failure, the agony of defeat;
Risk present with every leap.

A dream walker guided by faith.
I'll keep on believing every step I make.
Though wounded and riddled with scars,
My conviction will always be with the stars.

My heart will be my guide,
My dreams will aid my every stride.
The wisdom I gained from my past failures;
Will be my map towards my future endeavors!

Nostalgic memories they carry to the sky
Hear, my love, ''tis beauty of notes
That sings of my loneliness, my love and my hopes
As the sunset laces promises round the sky

I pray that would be the day I'd ask, " Will you marry me?,"

He stood eyes transfixed upon the hill,
The world below gave him no mind
As he smiled his last and let his heart melt,
The shadows engulfed his weeping eyes.

The flap of a birds’ wing echoed
In the valley below
Then went silent as the sun
Bid the world good night.

He had once stood there with a smile,
His name was hero but now in death
He’s unremembered, all denied
And the snow flakes that fall
Mark his grave alone.

He who once had a name,
Now his tombstone unknown.

They place those with intellect on a pedestal.
Praise them & congratulate them for their foresight.
Never once considering it as lucky fate.
One mistake is all it takes.
The once praised became blamed.
Countless maimed & forever chained.
I accept this fame.

A world of your own, hidden safe in your mind.
Close your eyes, and forget all of your torment,
Embark to your world, leave space and time behind.

Imagine the clouds, carelessly wandering,
Imagine the grasslands, expanses unknown.
Imagine the nights, the brightest stars shining,
Imagine the sunsets, of orange and gold.

Always see the glass half full, regardless of situation.
Think outside the box, remember there's always a way,
Be strong and never forget, don't lose your motivation!

How they lit up the sky with hearts on Fire
Their roses of light even when hope's dire
It glowed and gently rose
To the war in the beyond

They all counted them
One for each member
Even for those who are lost
But they cannot remain in the past

They sacrificed their all
And in that moment,
The world was beautiful
Like the planet wasn't falling

Pieces of light gathered
They held hands together
And watched as they touched the Earth,
And smiled a happy smile

The moon broke into pieces
The planet was destroyed
Along with the circlet of roses
How they loved their planet so....

The times we had together,
Although now, well,
You are afar.

Even in the deep chills of winter,
Your words couldn't be sweeter,
Even if you don't speak,
I hear you.

I feel your heartbeat,
Even if you aren't near,
For you are my best friend,
Although I don't have you here.

There's beauty in your calling,
Even when I'm falling,

Knowing you aren't really there.

But I can still hear your voice.
You could of stayed right here with me, but...

pictures of patron saints hung high up on my wall
crosses and statues that look down on me
prayers and praises worshipful hymns
and a gospel quotes that shouts loud in my head  

all this idols that captures the image of holy deeds
to remind me that i am nothing short of a fool
tell me where i came from, what i will always be
tell me where my soul will end up will it still be in peace

when i am deceased and buried i won’t join their ranks
because they are both holy, wise and free as the the wind
that’s how it’ll be in the end of my long hard trip
just a small lost child who went to a catholic school

grand churches and bell towers that roar in the air
like thunder that clashes to call us all to prayer
wolves in sheep clothing join the gathering flock
not even the shepherd knows who's the devil or not

so i said make me love myself so that i might love you
don’t make me a liar to say what you think should be true
Jesus said come to me my son and let me carry your cross
but i said its fine for we both carry the same scars

the Shepard and his flock come to me with blessed chains
wearing false cloaks and hiding their true faces  
i feel the binds of the cold chains strangle my neck
making me bark and howl out their holy sacred hymns

That which you see
They are different out here
Far beyond the sea...

We know the same
Our thoughts are contradicting
Who can we blame?
Why are we arguing?

Is this just?
How can you say?
How do you know?
Where the truth's hidden away?

What you know
What you see
It goes to show
An illusion to be

Now we can say
We can agree
That what is truth one way
Can be lies to thee.

corruption is an old song we've been singing in harmony
a cancer that grows steadily for the last couple of century
politicians play around making a foolery of democracy  
every proclamation and deliberation left a print of legacy  
to which our people live in division and poverty
amendments and changes are need to solve this hypocrisy
the young sacrifice themselves for liberty and equality
lets not fallout of virtue and devoid ourselves of honesty
When we challenge those who abuse their duties and authority

Light! Oh, light!
The blissful and the beautiful.
Ever awaiting her arrival,
Ever the patient friend.

She knows the sadness of her ways,
She knows she cannot show them.
She knows the loneliness that waits,
Back there, where they call this dream.

But for now, just now,
She takes one selfish moment,
And enjoys the freedom,
Singing to her in the wind.
