IMPROMPTU COMPOSTIONS
GIVE LOVE A SECOND CHANCE
The earth shook and you stood still,
while looking out the windowsill;
suddenly you realized what a fool you’ve been
falling madly in love with nobody’s kin.
The sea of tranquility becomes swirling depth
as reality begins to sink within my grip;
I'm going to lose the girl of my dreams--
all of a sudden, I'm melting like ice cream.
I'm weak and prone to temptations,
can't stay away from solicitations
I guess Fate has reasons
to keep you from destruction.
Love could really hurt
when someone has a foolish heart
I don't blame you for having a lion-heart
especially when you're deeply hurt!
Couldn't imagine what would be like
a day without you…a non-stop hike,
till we reach the summit of yearning—
it shall vanish without learning.
Just the thought of losing you
my mind hasn't the slightest clue,
but my soul could feel the heartaches -
feelings of regrets we're about to make.
I'm only human, imperfect as you are
destiny has brought us this far
after unforgotten childhood glances,
and words of love unspoken;
don't you think it's just fair
that we give Love a second chance?

GRAFFITI
Armed with spray paint and marker pens
Gangsters came out of their opium dens
To mark their gang-related territory
And announce their recent victory
A different genre of artistic expression
Evolves within the hip-hop revolution
Art form should be subject to protection
Vandalism or not within the jurisdiction

he stood there stupefied
a text in his iphone

she sat outside her veranda
reading a letter
telling her its over
Grandma changed channel
she wanted to see
the rerun of Dallas
Nenek munched betel nuts

ancient stories

BEAUTY LIES WITHIN
Beautiful landscape frames the shoreline
Of the serene and thriving town of mine—
A place where seafood is bountiful
No other place for me that’s so beautiful…
Beautiful seascape seems to reach the sky
As the sun hides behind the mountain high
I thank God for being so loving and merciful
Giving us an island paradise that’s so beautiful!
Beautiful and caring people live on this paradise—
Treating every guest like royalty, to their surprise
A rewarding experience so festive, yet peaceful
As you try to unwind, where everything is beautiful.
That's how beauty was seen in those innocent eyes
Destroyed by greed with those hearts cold as ice
Mining disaster victims unite and claim victory
Compensation long overdue in your territory.

WRITER'S LAMENT
Prayers could not bring back
the lives of those unsung heroes
who seek for the truth
so we may see the light
regardless of their plight.
Unjustifiable killings,
no mercy at all
Sometimes you question Faith
and wonder why
evils roam free
while justice can’t see.
Prayers and faith
go hand in hand,
but not for those
in no man’s land.
Equality for all
regardless of color,
beliefs and religion;
That’s my silent call.

Desert Rain
Passion of them
who pray for surcease
from prosecutions
truth or imagined
each words from powers
and authority of then
like rain on arid desert
Falls and seep into nothingness
They live there still
in card board boxes.

INTO DEAD LIGHTS
Into the deadlights the crowd gathered
In a realm beyond what is physical
Feelings of insecurity fueled the minds
Thoughts answered with burst of fire
Writhing, destructive orange lights
Deafening silence abruptly followed
Driving everyone insane except for one soul
Who dared not come face to face with deadlights
In the heat of the night lost souls wander
Trying to find justice, trying to find peace
As we go on living we often wonder
What lies within the mystical space
While some greedy bastards openly plunder
Bringing chaos and death to once great nation
Cruelty and lust beyond the devil’s dominion
Blindfolded and tipped-off the scale of justice
Blaming deadlights although haven’t come face to face

Mysterious creatures
They've been known to attack in the day,
Where ever they find their victims at play.
Most of the time they do they're hunting at night,
often taking their prey without a fight.
They know the best water holes and use them as bait,
hidden in shadows as they lay there in wait.
Preferring the tender flesh of the younger,
patiently waiting what they desire to satisfy their hunger.
Eyes now focused on her prey as she prepares to attack,
Her victim, unaware they will soon be a snack.
The Cougar makes her move in the dim barroom light,
"Hello, young man, care to join me for dinner tonight?

DOWN THE LAZY RIVER
Down on the bayou sleeping in my boat
Boat drifting away from shore further down
Lazy river so quiet with only chirping of birds
Birds of colorful feathers, birds of prey
Prey upon the carcass of forgotten species
Species that used to live down the lazy river
Down the lazy river I become one with nature
Nature so peaceful and calm, as the sun goes down
Lovers begin to flock along the city promenade
Promenade lined with fragrant beautiful flowers
Flowers of various species blooming all these years
Years spent with fun, fishing down the lazy river

JOURNEY OF FAITH
I've been soul-searching
Got lost, can't find my way back
Shadow of DEATH lurks
Trying to steal my SOUL
I thirst for KNOWLEDGE
I hunger for the TRUTH
My WISDOM was shrouded
With clouds of DOUBT
Gather around people of FAITH
Let's embark on a new ARK
Sail into the UNKNOWN
And take a giant LEAP
Into the RIVER of DARKNESS
Until we reach the HEAVENLY GATES
It doesn't matter how we get there
As long as we arrive together as ONE
Leaving the RAINBOW behind us
The SEA of TRANQUILITY awaits
For those who walk
In the VALLEY OF PEACE
With just a ripple of HOPE
We can cross that river
Through the bridge of SALVATION
Weary as we carry our BURDENS
Everlasting PEACE is our reward
For taking the same journey
Leaving nobody behind
Until all lost souls are found

Imagination
Steeling for flight
they gathered around
in a darkness deep
below where souls sleep
wild imaginations stir
of where they are
anger riles the perpetual
waves, incessantly eternal
they swim the blue
Searching in deeply unknown
terrain, gigantic columns
mysteriously disappeared
at night they dream
of crying children
heartbroken mothers
mourning fathers
the cacophony of sounds
they are birthed
and lamentations
are woven in dirges.
