Pearls
Keep loving
Never give up
But do not cast
Your pearls
Before swine.
Never give up
But do not cast
Your pearls

Teen
That teen from afar
is about to be heart broken
Coming back from an
Errand he is cycling with
Much enthusiasm
He isn't afraid of the
Bumpy road, rather he
Choses to enjoy the
Ecstacy of cycling hard
Like he is about to win
a trophy he pushes harder
On that bumpy road
Fearless or naive?
Careless or foolish?
He meets his doom
with unprecedented fall
His precious tomatoes
Are scattered all around
The floor
He isn't ready to be
Sympathised by witnesses
He gets up...
is about to be heart broken
Coming back from an
Errand he is cycling with
Much enthusiasm
He isn't afraid of the
Bumpy road, rather he
Choses to enjoy the
Ecstacy of cycling hard
Like he is about to win
a trophy he pushes harder
On that bumpy road
Fearless or naive?
Careless or foolish?
He meets his doom
with unprecedented fall
His precious tomatoes
Are scattered all around
The floor
He isn't ready to be
Sympathised by witnesses
He gets up...

Man
Should a man tell his
Dad everything?
Certainly I find it
Hard to.
Dad everything?
Certainly I find it
Hard to.

Clarity
Maintain your standards
Ask questions
Stretch your thoughts and
Imaginations
Ask questions
less you fall
for deception
Ask deep questions
For there's no time left
Danger lurks in
obscurity
No security in
ambiguity
Ask yourself
Ask God
Ask life
Ask her
Ask him
Ask your heart
Less it lead
you astray
Ask to gain
Clarity.
Jeremiah 17:9
Ask questions
Stretch your thoughts and
Imaginations
Ask questions
less you fall
for deception
Ask deep questions
For there's no time left
Danger lurks in
obscurity
No security in
ambiguity
Ask yourself
Ask God
Ask life
Ask her
Ask him
Ask your heart
Less it lead
you astray
Ask to gain
Clarity.

Guanzhou
Turbulence in the Pearl River
Far beyond the yellow river
I hear the voice of calamity
Bullets flying
Smoke rising
Guangzhou raided by Western
Powers
From tea to opium
From trade to war
Emperor Daoguan
Refused to compromise
Tea for evil
So he
Fought valiantly
Until his palace
Yuaming garden
Was burnt
Humiliated
And compelled
To open his doors
To evil.
The quing dynasty
Fell
Evil prevailed
China's economy
Was raped ...

Survival
Bravo
To all those fighting silently in the shadow
Pressing hard to find their way out of the cave
To those striving to survive this Cosmos
To those wounded sustaining injury for being too kind
To those endlessly moving in circles
Yet to accept reality
To those incubating ideas
Patiently passing through the process
To those slowly healing
Drying up their tears
To those suffering rejection for their lack of fortitude
To those bleeding and Scribbling
To those crushed
To those broken ...

Angel
Hey teenage girl
Listen to me
I know you so
Immersed in the
Euphoria of love
But there are
Many doors
To my heart
I once had one
Door
Ever since a damsel
Broke in
I've been guarding
Jealously
For an angel to
Knock in.

My mom
My mom have boxes in her room
My mom is not unkempt
My mom likes her stuffs arranged
In order
She's my one and only mom
There's no other
My mom gives order
Mom have different sets
Of boxes in her room
Boxes of clothes
Box of blouse
Of different
Colors
Box of veils of
Different colors
Purple veils
White veils
My mom is not good at telling
Short stories
Mom is good at telling tales
Mom hates to see her

OBSERVATIONAL POEM

Receive the gift of the Father
A gift was sent to mankind
Out of the benevolence of
The maker of the heavens
And the earth was a gift
Sent to mankind
We are most blessed recievers
received from The greatest giver
We are living souls
A gift was sent to mankind
A life giving spirit was sent to us
Transition to immortality
Only to those who believe
In the second Adam
The Christ
Such kind of benevolence
I can't comprehend
Permit me
I'm a little bit rhetoric as the
Psalmist ...

Life
Live in peace
Raise kids
Show them
the ancient
Path
The path of
Of my fathers
Before I depart
I'd be glad to
When they read
My anthology
I'd be glad
Their ears listen
While I teach
To never lose
In touch with
the creator

Guard your heart
The pain
The past
The anger
The depression
It's creeping in the dark
The whispering voice
seeking to find expression
In a silent noise
Don't give it a chance
It's playing a tune
Can you hear the sound?
Has it escape your memory?
So easily?
It's comes again
To leverage on loopholes
Guard your heart
The past
The anger
The depression
It's creeping in the dark
The whispering voice
seeking to find expression
In a silent noise
Don't give it a chance
It's playing a tune
Can you hear the sound?
Has it escape your memory?
So easily?
It's comes again
To leverage on loopholes
Guard your heart

Deep blue sea
Today I sank into deep blue poetic sea
Dived deeper and deeper
Till I sank into deep sweet sleep
Awake o thou that sleepest
My skin caressed with warm bath
I inhale the fagrance of
Milky brown Cocoa cream
Gently softly I rub on my
Skin
secret to
my glittering sleeky skin
This sweet cup of
sorghum juice
Is my muse.
