a soft light

i lost hope, when chaos came
i thought i am lost, no one to blame
being in myself, i didn't know what i became

i thought IT will never come

but the moon is not the only light
that keeps me guided at a black night
a soft light now, shines so bright
that i can't describe, neither i can write

i thought "no, it's another mind trick!"
but with my heart, i can not pick
i'm confused, but i won't let it beat quick

i don't know, to be happy or sad
i can't find a way to add

the confusion fades
i can only gaze
into these eyes, i daze

a soft light apears around the street
i stop,

the empty alley

i walk through roads
beyond the broads
i walk in tides
only in my mind

i look at the pole
and the digging mole
i see the art
in different parts

i pass the night streets
in the void fleets
there is nothing around
except ghosts and ground

i walk to the valley
through the empty alley

a voice whispers in the dark
don't act like a shark
or listen to the loud barks

smile and surrender
to peace, you shall not plunder

i stride away in silence
love in my heart, not violence

funny how things change

i used to hate it
now i breathe it
i don't understand it
but its life, take it or leave it

i wanted to fly between buildings
i dreamt of building
now i write for those siblings
to build a future worth for their livings

i felt ecstasy and lust
all i wanted is to thrust
currently, i feel peace and just

i don't want to combust
in the fire of disgust
in the flames of the unjust

i see more light
i see more plight
i am no longer afraid of height
i just want to fly a kite, 
not to fight

funny how things change
how clear things become strange

living a life, i need to arrange

a peaceful death

breathe, keep breathing
awake, no sleeping
imagine, don't stop dreaming
smile, always beaming

look into the world
don't stop for a smoke
listen to what is been told
don't stay in one block

hear, even if you don't agree
believe, to a certain degree
have faith, but don't decree

truth will set your spirit free
compassion will create your de
tolerance will make your eyes see

a peaceful death
is not a myth

be good, take a breath

blue fires

what are they
what do they see

those cold blue eyes
those haunting phantom mimes

what do they see
through that clear sea

what do they imagine
among that wide margin

who do they inspire
with those blue fires

nothing but me, everything around me

thoughts of the coffee singapore girl

she sits with her parents, interested of what they say, amazed by what he explains

but she still looks around, 
the english, the chinese, 
the malays, the indians,
the business man, the school kids,
the friends, the couples,
the old, the young,

and that stranger,
he doesn't look from here, with his interesting different look, 
his black low hat, who is he, 
why is he looking towards me and write in his little notebook,
what is in that book of life

i guess the only thing i can do is imagine, live the moment, 
smile back, and laugh the present

a brighter contrast

there is only one path in our life

we don't go back
we can't alter the past

we don't look sideways
there is no other cast

learning from mistakes
we look for a brighter contrast

look into your heart
find your path
help yourself, to help others

a kid with a plane to malaysia

he has no cares
his eyes glitter for the unconscious future

his imagination is that of an artist
his observation is that of a scientist
his smile is that of an actor
his mind is that of a writer

he is a traveler, yet he is 5

a kid with a plane to malaysia

the darkness inside

"the yin-yang is true" he says
how much more can be said

where every evil has good
every good has evil

people say i am a good guide
but inside, is a different tide

running through my vein
trying to drive me insane

when the sun fades
and the moon blaze
and the void replaced

there comes a new perception
of destruction, death, and corruption

not for those i love
but those i am sick of
those backstabbing materialists
perusing only their self-interests

the darkness inside
taking over my pride

i need a soft light by my side

a path, i take

behold and be found
i don't know who i am

i search this land
for a rooted stand

i don't know what is right
i don't know what is a plight
i don't know who to fight
i don't know when to stay white

where is this world taking me
where is this door leading me

i guess it doesn't matter in the end
i guess i don't need to know this bend

there is something in my wake
there is something up ahead
telling me to stay and look
at the people, you will not lock

a path, i take
a person, i wait
