As Sun Rises From East
i reach beyond clouds
i could feel true love
something i miss to have
on this; this earthly life
i saw stars as it parted
i imagine signs you heard
darkness silent trusted friend
come take my dream lingering
make it quick so i can sleep
and for tomorrow another epic
for mind and soul to dissect
please remind me of my keep

041110i Phil You're Great Golfer
today tiger has successfully
diverted attention to lefty
husband of ailing mother
who took a time-off to be
with her in time of theraphy
that's really sweet to know
imagine spark in her eyes
after him winning master
it can't be lovelier than this
i'm not his fan but i admire
his qualities in and out
we should emulate that

040310z Where People Take Their Money
streak of shopping carts
rolling with flashing light
now even a kid could do
like before 'mano o mano'
yes i agree it's wall to wall
it's better run than city hall
strawberries are still fresh
veggies under auto rain spray
bananas multiple fingers
pointing upwards in unison
checkout line is very long
equivalent to one album

042011G going to rest like you
i feel like i'm only one left
sitting upright this moment
yes, it's deafening silence
creeping to my feet and up
owls could be hunting by now
forest floor will come alive
time would keep on going
as ships cruise overnight
you sleep through night
dreams could have shared
but i consume more oxygen
than most so i have to sleep

041511H i want to be there
people are running, chasing
man giving away free prizes
i saw one stumble; pushing
ruthless when it comes to
television exposure; it's true
fame is cruel claws on you
excited a word i could put
blushing, shaking to a cry
screams to hands up to sky
will wear out so soon i know
even people reminds you
left your make-up, did you

042611I caught between edges
would you buy a car from
your friend so he can get
rid of high dollar payment?
or just say ' i can't afford'
would i have a thought he
would borrow it sometime
i won't subject myself to
questions 'that's... car? '
or worst 'did you borrow? '
i'm in this situation, tough
my only alibi is i have a car
maybe you have better one

AE01 growing fish
fish lips barely off water
filtering food crumbs
floating like carpet
fish pond feeding time,
amazing appears as unit
focus to food, giant vacuum
swirling mass of fins, bubbling
some jump with open mouth
catching whatever it pass by
total chaos, survival of fittest
soon nets come for collection
feed them now, to feed you later

050110j Sting From Wild Rose
it's really sunny today
i will show my skinny legs
to trees around golf course
feed mosquitoes and bugs too
in exchange for freedom
feeling gushes of wind
no need for sunburn lotion
i have built-in apparatus
i just be very careful with
wild rose, thorns are cruel
it will rip your skin very painful
it has that acidic juice i guess

Don't Waste That
sailboat is making its turn
blocking rising morning sun
bright yellow blankets mine
i see birds; check marks
flapping wings departing
against on rushing tides
kissing rocks to submission
crabs retreating to crevices
chase by unforgiving beaks
spear dive for huge pelican
that means hunting is survival
everybody is hungry; it's real

042011F strange words
i was talking to my friend
she came up with words
so strange to understand
i thought of people's humor
naming something funny
which is true every culture
we finally agree on lesser
bizarre meaning, acceptable
good thing about it is we didn't
argue but find ways to discover
a venue to make conversation
enjoyable and of course longer
