I Cut My Hair Today

I cut my hair today
That's an odd decision for a long term agreement
Somehow you had found the missing lot and packed yr life away
Noone to be blame, no excuse should be offer
As i was expected it since our first word yet i kept wonder
What's went wrong? Could you claim that it's still about the way it should be?
What it takes to hold you? Is there anything to do with yr secrecy policy?
What's the point then - to hold the gaze of every living people who question your-without-moustache-beard-whisker-look?
Is all just a biggest fake? Geez my own question choke me
Forgive me to not ever being bold to advertise my own intention
Now that it's too late i shall cherish it like an uncovered history
Some people leave to save their soul
Some did to gain their vanity
The rest need to change their foster fate
I never left, i stand where i was with all my might, as the boring oak-tree
I didn't intend to remove everybit of our anything,
You might one day look back and tracing the empty space
Between our hidden agenda and your digital identities
Perhaps then i start to coloring my lips again
Without intention to join any party

I Ain't

I ain’t a princess
I don’t have those amazing fate
Neither know how to dwell in grace
Just simply breath and mess thing
So I never am the passionate
Vain to color the dried rose
Sailing just a few row to know
Heading back to shore is wise but odd

I just ain’t lucky
To never know how to differ desire and lust
Enjoy the warm hug or intense fears
Melt the silver dust deep to vein
When it got to the heart and sing
Would not help to eliminate the hushed tone
Echoes through vulnerable cave of mind
Yet it hurt and precious, I dare not to loose

Be it to you ain’t me
Fancy the engraved note and your perfect dream

Falling Star

“Have you seen a falling star? ”
A stranger asked me eagerly
I shrugged on reply
I know not star could be fall
Cause I put my star on the North
Shine a firm light to warm me
Close to heaven to passed my wishes;
To soothe the unsettled puzzle in my bare mind

“I saw a falling star! ”
Exclaim in excitement a man tag me
I shook my head and regain my conscience
The glitter in his eyes dazzling
He gently wrapped his dream and sealed with hope
And let it fly back to the sky
Yearning to reach the flash in time
To granted him the best illusions that life’s posses

“Where’s my falling star? ”
A voice of dearly girl echoes in the night

Phrase # 1

Remember when I show you the moon
It was to see how far the dream is
It was to realize how visible the future is
More than I can grab in my limited destiny,
You went to pursue the sky…
Have the earth echoing my pain to you
The wind cuddled my mind
I packed all my shuttered dream in the night
Should I burn it all in the sweet ray of the sun
Yet the cloud tell me where you are

Once you told me about the pearl
You found in the Pandora box
It was a rare experience, befall on us
Little did we know, the spell unleash
Unbind all the missing scenes
Regain back all the trophy of vanity
Which shouldn’t be found or posses
Had you say sorry for your former plan
Dismantled all the silver rope on yr heart

Rainbow

I live at one of those Grey Clouds
Not really know that I am lifeless

I heard people talking about rainbow,
They’d met each other, always in a happy occasion
I wish I met the rainbow myself
Then perhaps I would know,
What the people say is not true
That there is no thing such rainbow,
That could make people’s eyes glittering
In Blue color of the sky
In Green color of the valley
In Red color of the blood
In Yellow color of the sun

I am belongs to the Grey Clouds
I Love Grey, as it is all the color I have in life

Then one day, at the ticking time of my ordinary Grey-day
I see something really bright,

Traveler Tale

I was just a traveler
Eager to find a world of wisdom
Where I can rest my chest in the soft lane
Then I can burry my dream up on sky

Come from nowhere, you - bearing a smile
Handed me a nice coat and offering a hand
I was at all feel overwhelmed
The light in your mind like a charm

You looking for a plain princess
That lives on your bright color dream
The mist had trick your eyes
And lead you to the witch instead

Had not I told you, I’m the traveler
Too heavy to carry your robe
Had not I show you, in the sun
The real face behind my worn out mask

Monologue #1

One day my daughter asked me
"Could I be princess, Mom? "
It was a simple question
A ‘yes' or ‘no' and it all done
It was not that simple for me, Mom
There will be much more to do
Before conclude all in a simple gesture

I want to passed your lesson to her, Mom
That happiness does not lies inside the grand castle
That marrying a prince is not a perfect dream
That all beauty makes-up and outfits are not ticket to heaven
That no one has insurance of future
That not all question deserved an answer
That even loves not last forever

I wish I could make them feel the way you make me feel, Mom
The comfort feeling of being myself when I am with you
The secured feeling whenever I share my trouble to you
The confidence feeling of telling you even my ridiculous fantasy

A Letter That I Can't Send

(Anyway I hope You read it)

Boo..
How should i pronounce it?
With passion or a wish of luck
Pretty dumb and numb the times creep
Seems like everything turn out right
But then it went left and other direction too
Perhaps you are sensible
Telling me that all my theory are crap
Like a creature, those theory are not perfect
It was selfish, bias, lack of sense and inexplicable
Containing heavy substances of innuendoes
But then, What can you offer me?
Aside from my inability of planting the platonic love
I'm sorry that i sound so naif
I've always believe that we are equal; Having an austere life
What would you think of i am now?
A queer dressed in hallowen-outfit?
Or a companion in a pretty shape?

A Dull Tiny-Statue

I was a dull tiny-statue linger in the dusty rack
Seize my lonely track in pitch dark corner
Yearning for a crack to bring light into sight
Enchanted by deafening laughter sound outside
The wonderful play performed in my lucid dream
To met a knight in his bright mask
Offer me a new life full of sparkle
The entire of universe will be my grace
Though a blink away, the rust welcome me
The smell of the damp future choking me
Slowly I fall to sleep paving my eternity

Just one day when I greet my day to the air
I see hope with feathers dropp in
He just a rusty plain harmless-robot
Claim to live longer than the sun but anonymous
No decent name or weapon he deserved
Yet he’s living in full acknowledge of wonder
Invite me to play and regard a bruise as a reward
That day I learn to plant a heart in my head

To My wonderful soul of life

As you fly in yr dream with jasmine
Or dive through the sea with Ariel
I want to tell you a true story
Not the perfect fairy tale
But indeed a greatest one
In this mighty universe of us

I had bargain with my life in delight
To pour you part of my soul & my blood
When I hear your first faint cry
I begin my new phase as a star
As we had brief share some months
That would bind us in wonderful entity

You’re always be my princess – I adore you mind and heart
Yet you the beautiful Aurora or cute like pink Patrick
You’re a best reward in my entire life
Which no amount of money or time can beat
I can’t show you the end of the rainbow
But we will find our precious pearl in a silver chest
