Always amazed by the changing sky,
Maybe I’m the poet you pass by.
Colors dance as the day waves goodbye,
Whispers of verses in clouds up high.

Sky blushes pink, I wander by,
of drifting dreams now singing,
through fireflies that dance and fly,
The wind hums softly, a lullaby.

Raindrop on a leaf, I’m loaded by,
of murmured verses singing,
A bird is chirping from its nest nearby,
And I’m drowning in this life I’m bringing.

Trying the best I could, hanging,
though a lot of times I’m failing.
Close my eyes to see pure white,
I’m just looking at the sky so white.
A reality that is still hidden.

What is life?
It’s miserable like Dostoevsky: it’s hell,
A world of trials where shadows dwell.
A full of challenges, in Socrates: it’s a test,
To seek the truth and give your best.

Maybe it’s the way we think of it,
A positive or negative, bit by bit.
In Aristotle, it’s the mind,
Where truths and thoughts unwind.

Ways to become strong, in Nietzsche: it’s power.
To rise above in every hour.
Grief and sadness, like Freud: it’s death,
A final sigh, a fading breath.

Maybe it is what we understand, as we live,
Like everyday living, learning to give.
In Marx, it’s the idea we hold,
A dream for change, both young and old.

Or it’s the passion and eagerness,
Like Picasso: it’s art, it's bold finesse.
If you’re optimistic, like Gandhi, it’s love,
A gentle light from up above.

Now there’s a lot of jealousy,
The suffering of Schopenhauer’s plea.
Or it’s where everyone wants to be on top,
Bertrand Russell, a competition that won’t stop.

Most beautiful, by Steve Jobs: it’s faith.
A steady hand, a patient wraith.
As well as Einstein: it’s knowledge we crave,
To solve the mysteries, bold and brave.

Continue living, as Stephen Hawking, hope.
The strength to climb life’s steepest *****.
To restart everything like Kafka, a beginning,
A quiet world forever spinning.

No matter what life is, the only matter,
Is that you live through joy and shatter?
But still, love to give and lift,
For life itself is the greatest gift.

Why does the head ache, yet the heart must bear the pain?
Why do people keep loving someone who never sees them?
Just like how the sun let night so there's a moon

Skies Changing color and rainbow had it all
The wind can be warm and yet one rain it is now cold
Just like a person mood that may vary on your worth

Trees give us freshness yet we give them death
People should nurture each other in order to bloom like flowers
But, ended up nurturing in a wrong way, now it's dried

Like a hard sand and soil in a hot desert of  India
Icy bulk  in Antarctica,  A numb  human heart
No right to be in Paris,  A missing heart where can it be found?
Finding essence though nothing

Cloud changing colors, from sunrise to sunset,
It's up to you, capture its beauty set.
Rain feels heavy, no fear in falling,
Same as trees, still there though dying.

There will be no light without dark.
Keep on trying even a little spark
In life choose to do it scared
Even nobody was there to  be held

Turtle keeps moving even when it's slow.
Fireflies are small but when united, they glow
Birds continue chirping though it's tiring
And, flowers are still blooming


Are you like flowers that still blooming?
Are you like fireflies that keeps glowing?
Darkness in life is always twining
So, choose to be courageous in fighting

Can you be like nature, though it's torn,
Still standing tall, weathered and worn?
Come on, people, rise and shine,
Live your life;  let your light align.
Maybe it's better to look on the positive side of the story.

I wish I could escape this rumination in my mind.
When you said those words, I felt dyspnea.
It happened twice,
And hurt as much again, Twice the pain.

Darling, I give you my soul,
though your heart is hard as a diamond.
I know I can't blame you,
You said I was special,
A special place in your heart

But, not the lover I longed to be.
What shall I do with this heart's pain?
I knew my happiness lay with you,
If not, I don't know what I'll do,  
save me from this dark cage of loving you.

She's quiet just like me
She's as fragile as me
Mama is the best for me
As she loves everything in me

Give first to us than herself
Her love  was unselfish
Made me think about how much
But, realizing nothing can match


I see her crying at the word unsatisfying
Made me think how my mama is tiring
She finishes everything for us
Mama is everything to us


No money or things can match
Mama is my greatest match
She makes me feel I'm loved
Even she  was  unloved
Appreciation for my mother's unconditional love.

I've written our story realizing the next chapter was blurry
Coz I don't know why I slide those holes
You made me a fool with nothing to control
I tumbledown on those holes of hones


I lose my wings, can't breathe in
In the smoke, you've made me feel
The darkness of   loving you
I know, you no longer belong too

To this arm shelter of mine
Coz baby why didn't you tell me
You belong to her and not mine
It's breaking me, like you know the bleeding me.
I think, we still lucky enough to know each other though in a very short time.
