Confession

I try to say this as clear as the sky
Plain as a tea break at noon
It’s not outrageous thing anyway
Just a simple note of truth
Which I fail to repress through

I might scared you to death
With the bold fact of this act
Should you shrink or flee
It’s yr freedom to be
Sure you should forgive me

I fail to pretend it is time
To tell you that we are remain
Whether I am me
And you still you
As selfish as we wanna be

I start to mind you
Your words work like a spell

If I Lived One More LIfe... I Would

If I lived one more life
I would melt by the gentle sight of you
I would believe that your love is true
I would erase my fake intention
I would hold back all my foolish emotion

If I lived one more life
I would read all yr colorful envelopes
I would never burn your words of hopes
I would cherish your banner on the wall
I would make sure it will never fall

If I lived one more life
I would pick up your call night & days
I would guarantee your mind not decays
I would let my door open at all time
I would safe your sanity to prevent any crime

If I lived one more life
I would stand before you on my knee

Love on The Street

I see Love holding hand,
Down the selfish street,
The heart beat, the pain remain,
Even the passion shrinks to seize it,
Leave a poor idea of joy,
Which they share incessantly,
Have life spare each second of temptation?
Would they tire of a happy ending?
It’s like living in a land of fantasy,
Where a traitor and a liar never been born,
Where tears compensate happiness instead,
Where I can’t even afford the excitement,
How could fragile dream could earn much pleasure?
Would it survive the sight of nothingness?
When it had nothing to put on?
I run out of faith to repress the desire,
A deep scratch in a sacred vow haunted me,
Why all the sense melts to an intense kiss?
How could a cheap trick could buy a dignity?
Not a tiny light should enter an engaged soul,

For Mum

Dear mom,

I heard ppl growing old and die
but noone told me you would

Now you'd left me stranded unabide
The familiar privillege i used to adore
The perfect faith i had for life
Has become remorsed in a sigh

I heard times flies so fast and wait for noone
But nobody said i'll be run out of it

Way long back with yr endless sincerity
Yr flawless devotion last longer than yr wedding ring
Yr perfect guidance through my childhood to motherhood
All are worth thousand of fairy stories

I heard sweet memory will bring joy
But noone told me it cost tears of loosing

Had You?

Had you forget the time you knock on my door?
One sweet touch and its wide open
Then we drawn on expected courtesy
I’d serve you the best corner to decorate
Free and content on yr possession

Had you lost yr key to recognize the place?
It’s been a pleasure to welcome you back
Surrender with the thought of sharing you the grand life
I lit the flame to cuddle your mind and let the time be our charm
But you never rest the nerve to melt with ease

Had you stole some of the dream?
It was gone leaving your bare foot step
It’s a treasure to keep my vanity and your sanity
Spend it wisely if you must or preserve it right
Seems like your fake intention had taken a part

Had you decide to ignore the beat?
The rush of emotion still playing to redeem our desire

You

I met you at the dawn,
Drawing big hologram dream
Offer me a chance to fly
Off from myself to a digital land
Each plain step to reach you is painful
You got away any good charm
Left all question to ponder
Isn’t clear the way I lay the world at your feet?
Fed up my mind with your brief existence
Noone to be found, nothing to be bound
I sat on the tickling sense of time
Dying for a drip of promising light
To granted the best recovery time
Or ease the sight of turbulence in storm
My breath ceased to hail your name
Never did across your pure attendance
To passing each second in agony of your smile
Your limited and belated will had gone astray
As a crack in a fragile brown leave
It’s an awesome deceiving truth

Is It A Crime?

Is it a crime?
When love find its way home
Far away from what’s written in the name card
Yet it is the perfect place to dwell
Would we learn the new path?

Is it a crime?
When a vow loose its meaning
Far too fast from its due moment
Yet it is the sincere words to hold
Would we find the missing line?

Is it a crime?
When good intention change its color
Far too dim from its original shadow
Yet it is the brightest light to follow
Would we follow the former guidance?

Is it a crime?
When the heart beat miss its rhyme

A Short Note

I might be pretend as a gorgeous insect on earth
Wearing many pair of silky socks to trap my prey
I hope I can ease the pain of my own poison
Or even leave a beauty scar of my pointing nail
As many as I try to be less evil or
As little as I try to be most humble
I could never performed better than I shape
I would never able to resist my own phase
Not dare to pursue a fairy to engraved a worthy wing
To be my eternal guardian in a simple tale
Not even have an adequate will to run a life
When I put on mask or make up both never defy sorrow or joy
When I shade a tear or laughter both never conquer love or lost
I wish once again I’m a caterpillar
So I can cut the significant frills
Or even plant a diamond in my sight
Before I jolt out in life and be mortal
The kind of dream in a trapped mind is torture
The rough truth of pain is amusing
Whether to commit a fate in a steady grip

Life Story

I was just indecent kid
Trying to grab a handful lesson
Taught to hold on good deeds
Longing to look for nod of approval
Dreaming to have the perfect savior
To pleased every figure and ease myself

I was a new beginner
To know the lesson become unbearable tough
And saw good people disposed their sanity
Punished by the way every face shake in pity
Deject when even the faith break into pieces
Torn apart when they’re refused to share my tears

I was growing in pain
Becoming unbelievable rough
Distrust every good mind and heart
Learn the best way to erase people face
Fight with my own desperate fantasy
Cut the stream of tears before it get dry

Love

I was trained to thrilled my destiny and deal with you
Not like many figures who has cursed or blessed
You never be my friend nor stay against me

I know where you live but too proud to visit
Since I saw much river of tears headed in
And I don’t even have a dropp to share you

What if we met, an encounter of necessity?
Or a full bliss of ignorance from our side
None of us like to read what lies on the line

I would take a picture of you to compensate the time
And you will recall a drift of my attendance
We work our space to have an even grip of fate

Like a castle build in miss-trust
We fail to persuade the faith and hope to paint it
Each of us pursue the selfish expectation
