Lullaby (Haiku)
Lullaby
Blue waves crawl ashore.
Body resting underneath
shall be held no more.

Unworthy
Unworthy of love.
Unworthy of trust.
Unworthy of death.
Unworthy of rest.
Unworthy of life.
Unworthy of time.
A life of regret.
Will be the punishment.
And for now the only feeling.
Is forever unworthy.
Unworthy of trust.
Unworthy of death.
Unworthy of rest.
Unworthy of life.
Unworthy of time.
A life of regret.
Will be the punishment.
And for now the only feeling.
Is forever unworthy.

A Perfect Picture
I draw
And erase
I draw
Once again, erase
The image will never be perfect
My canvas is such, for it is a mirror
And erase
I draw
Once again, erase
The image will never be perfect
My canvas is such, for it is a mirror

So he falls
He falls
remembering all the promises,
remembering all the prayers,
remembering all the preachings.
He falls
opening spaces in the clouds,
opening craters in the ground,
opening the flames in the fire.
Then he falls...
PAR
remembering all the promises,
remembering all the prayers,
remembering all the preachings.
He falls
opening spaces in the clouds,
opening craters in the ground,
opening the flames in the fire.
Then he falls...

What's your idea?
Sincerely
Stay on this road ?
Tables about to turn?
Turning around now?
Indecision...
Thy heart be the guidance

Little
sometimes I feel
like
people stole a
little part of
me
a little gossip
a little lie
a little bit of me died
I don't trust
I don't talk
I don't love
even though I can love
I can't trust
like
people stole a
little part of
me
a little gossip
a little lie
a little bit of me died
I don't trust
I don't talk
I don't love
even though I can love
I can't trust

Dark desire
The old man, devastated by cancer,
Went on his last pilgrimage
To Mount Kinabalu
Where he offered himself
To a rather tall but always very hungry
Nepenthes rajah.

a mushroom...
a mushroom
bloomed
in the shadow
of the night
hoping to
illuminate
with the
moon
but how
will it
shine
if the
moon casts
a bigger
shadow
bloomed
in the shadow
of the night
hoping to
illuminate
with the
moon
but how
will it
shine
if the
moon casts
a bigger
shadow
