Show
(S)miles of fun
It's all a show
Away, the sadness
No one knows
Watching him
You wouldn't guess
Playing the clown
Leaves him anxious

I need to know
I need to know
Father if you are going to
Listen to my please
Because I am already
Sick and tired of the Winter
Please father hurry up
End put an end to the horrible
Winter
I need the sun
Because the sun gives me
The vitamin d that I need badly
Yes father I am not getting any younger
I want to live my life as long as I can
Yes father I am very happy with my life
I have my happy and sad moments father
When I am sad I stay in my room
And I have my crying section
It is only for a few minutes
I have some...

Every hour I am thinking of you My father
Every hour
I am thinking of you
My father
You blessed me
With a nice weather
It is finally sunny today
Thanks God Father
We had already lots of rainy days
During the summer
So father you cooled the earth already
For us
We must tell you that we love the sunny days
We are having a mild summer
It is not too hot
It is a little cooler
With a little breeze
I am having no problem coping
With it
I just like it better that way
I hope it is going to stay like that
For a while
I don't like when it is...

Raw Versions of Me
I guess underneath it all, I’m something like a monster
I’m still exploring. Still experimenting. Still getting to know, Me.
I say monster, politely.
Like a prismatic fuzzball waiting for the light to shine in its dusty corner, hoping to be discovered and cleansed from its impurities,
I grow every time a door creaks or the wind seeps.
And as mush as I don’t belong, the guilty pleasure burns hot , pestering for a chance to release submerged feelings.
But in the mean time, I’ll filter the air, faintly grasping at any and...

Electric Cadillac
an electric Cadillac
plugged in just ahead
of where I'm parked writing
somewhere where I sped
to watch for sunset
on this winter day
as January's slipping
slowly away
daylight keeps increasing
and every nighttime shrinks
paying homage to the Sun
for our electric links
whenever opportunity
comes my way
it's cosmically inspiring
just to stay
where I'm parked writing
plugged in just ahead
an electric Cadillac
inspiring what I've said...
plugged in just ahead
of where I'm parked writing
somewhere where I sped
to watch for sunset
on this winter day
as January's slipping
slowly away
daylight keeps increasing
and every nighttime shrinks
paying homage to the Sun
for our electric links
whenever opportunity
comes my way
it's cosmically inspiring
just to stay
where I'm parked writing
plugged in just ahead

Some kind of ghosts
Some kind of ghosts
Are living in my dreams
But I don’t know if it is the ghost of the past, the ghost of the present, or The ghost of future
Also they have a scary face
And that is all I know
Because I already seen their faces
And it gives me nightmares
That frightens me
Now I am having a problem
Going back to sleep
I hate having night mares
Every single night
I have no Idea why
This is happening to me
Every single night
I not like having the nightmares
I keep having
Every single night
I am getting fed...

Marie
What a shame
Marie died
Of frost bite
At the bus shelter
At Coxwell Ave and Danforth Ave
She never ask for help
The temperature was -21
I don't know how could
Somebody survive in this cold
The warming centers
Is all the time closed
In Toronto
So the homeless have no where
To go
Marie died
Of frost bite
At the bus shelter
At Coxwell Ave and Danforth Ave
She never ask for help
The temperature was -21
I don't know how could
Somebody survive in this cold
The warming centers
Is all the time closed
In Toronto
So the homeless have no where
To go

Sing.
Me.
A melody.
And make it.
Out of tune.
Off.
Key.
Me.
A melody.
And make it.
Out of tune.
Off.

Restored
Crumbled bones start to mend now,
Restored pieces crawl back to their owner
Chances of rebirth, life's kindness returned as a donor
Life returned at last somehow
Voluntarily, it gave a cure for the ache
Noticed the screeching that came out of the owner's mouth,
Resembling an unforeseen plague
Despite inevitable doom, life saved the bones from decaying
Somehow, it was life that saw willingness remaining
Though the pain of the shattering still lingers,
The pain greater than previous hollow wounds,
At last, the blood pulses through the...

A Mysterious Existence
let us toast
toast to all the possible versions of ourselves
all in one but still only one
the ones who died
the ones we chose to ignore
the ones we let slip by
there is only us
the current
the now
in all the possibilities this is who we are
this is where we are
I chose this
my actions past defining my future
Is this the best one?
can the others help guide me
I pray and beg
cast in a world of feeling
in a world of thought
a world of choices
which is...
