Though, this may sound confusing,
or corny, to say at least.
I dreamt of us the other night,
there you, then there was me.
There a beach and there chemistry,
hearts had surrounded our heads.
It was like a perfect little, notebook scene,
problem was we'd never met.
We were, completely strangers,
but that's what we've always been, you see.
Then suddenly, my dream froze,
and you disappeared,
completely.

Anjelmyrie

I long for the day
of your tender embrace,
With my head meeting your shoulder,
and yours meeting mine,
As I inhale the aroma of your hair,
Grasping it with tender subtlety.
I embrace your soothing warmth,
This warmth which rekindles a certain spark in my heart,
This warmth which is the most warming in its serenity.
I turn to you, and peer into the night sky that is your eyes,
Pausing for the chance to perceive the ironic complexity
of your simple smile,
and become mesmerized in your soft chuckle.
I long for this day,
This day I await with empty motivation,
This day I regretfully acknowledge as a fictional reality,
This day that will never come.
This day I hate to long for.

Kevin

There are many things in my life that I regret
I wish I could just go back, redo, and forget
But those memories never leave,
They'll never go away they will always stay

Too bad I cannot go back and erase all my mistakes,
But things just don't work out that way
There is nobody that is always right,
There is nobody that is perfect

Some people's lives are a mess,
But yet some are flawless
I guess all you can really do,
Is to live your mistake through
Because really, you cannot erase your past.

Hannah Domenosky

Dear Denni

When I was a kid I used to listen
To some priest preaching about angels
I got so amazed and wondered
If they were really true and existing

When I got older faith slowly weaken
To believe angel is just a legend
I never saw a human with wings
If there is one it must be the birds flying

When you came you made me understand
To believe an angel exists in someone
I ask for help you lend a hand
Even you never know who Im

When dreams seem hard to reach
To give light within a reach
I've never seen someone so pure
Indeed you're lucidly beautiful
Just like an angel, you're wonderful

Herofil Olarte

Unwrap those eyes, fight the fears
Your eyes so sharp, it will cut my heart
Untie that tongue, unleash the blade
Your words so sweets, my ears will bleed

Let destiny reign and lead the way
This is no longer a dream or fantasy
Nor a fairy tale with beautiful ending
A battle destined to have a new meaning

Smile for a new day is coming
To change the mind and forget the pain
In a world full of empty promises
Countless casualties lay on the streets

The world is yours for the taking
Greedy intention is now undertaking
Triumph the mind of the poor
Win the hearts of the weak

Be aware of these fools
Don’t let them rule again
Unrighteous humans best known
As our beloved tyrant politicians

Herofil Olarte

I hate you
such a bad thing to say
I know
but you've made me this way
cannot believe the things you do
never thought you could
be the person you came to be
how you can be so cold
I will never know
people can see straight through you
I hope you know
your cover has blown away
you no longer have it to hide your evil ways
It's too late cause everyone already knows
how weak you really are

Taylor

Underneath the big old tree
Where I stand and see the leaves get free
Dancing with the wind so softly and gently
Color green and gray as they go astray

Bounce there, bounce everywhere
Wherever the wind went they go
Some tried to reach the heaven
Still most of them fall on the ground

Underneath the big old tree
Where everything is attached
Sometimes they just die and fall
Never know where they exactly go
As long as the wind takes those
Destined to let go

Herofil Olarte

If I had one wish
I wish that I would wake up each morning
with the sound of your breath on my neck and
the warmth of your lips on my cheeks and
the touch of your fingers on my skin and
your heart beating with mine
knowing that I would never feel this with anyone
other than you!

Andy Kimberlin

Oh! Friends and family our little girl is three,
We're starfull of happiness, dad and me.
We celebrate in Malta she's in her 1st year,
Always our cherished child we love, love dear.

Cleveland W Gibson

Everything will come to pass
If you only learn how to trust
Every misery will turn to dust
Bit by bit it will crush
As the wind gently blows
In someone's heart

Herofil Olarte

If being a man requires
Hitting and cheating a woman
I choose to be
A woman

If being a man requires
Not to do household chores
I choose to be
A woman

If being a man requires
Not protecting family
I choose to be
A woman

If being a woman requires
Loving a man
Then I choose to learn to be
A man rather than
A woman

Herofil Olarte

Tiny soldiers just came in
In a room full of robotic machine

Yelling what a good morning
Oh, good morning too dearest
Little ones

Different sounds
Some clicks, some bows
Dare not to fight, dare not to cry
Like bowwows

Click, click
Tick, tick, tick
Drag here, drag there
Scroll down, scroll up
Laugh here and everywhere

Oh, how beautiful they look
So amazed on the one they took
Smiling
Little angels now
On the hook

Herofil Olarte

Walking in the aisles of a rotten paradise
Underneath the sparkling lights of crimson knights
In a place where justice merely just an illusion
Manipulated by its shadowed ideas and selfish creed
Played by one man's greedy vision of pure insanity

Deceptive titans of the poor and the weak
Enslaving souls by unrighteous law and punishment
Master puppet of the young and innocent
heartbreaking silence covers the earth
Tell me my dear child what hell feels like?

Is it cold?

As you slept on the street without a blanket nor a bed
Does waking up in a morning just add up to your sufferings?
When you knew your homeless and nothing to eat
For parents being killed by ruthless drug lords


Is it painless?

As you sold your young body just for a piece of bread
Does morphine helps or perhaps a stronger drug will do?
When you knew you're being sold by your own parent
For a debt never been yours


Indeed, you don't give a damn.
For this is a world not ruled by one


Awaken

When will it stop?
When will it end?
When will it mend?

Please don't let their faith die and tears gone dry
For their hearts will be hardened in time
And killing would no longer be just a crime…

Herofil Olarte

The day you left me,
I will never forget.
It was raining…
and my whole life left

A kiss on the forehead
and a wave goodbye..
nothing more,
and nothing less.

I stood there
not knowing either to cry,
or just stand there
hoping to die.

I loved you,
and you left.
Now only god
can help me.

You didn’t cry,
or say goodnight.
A kiss,
and a wave…
nothing more.

I only have one wish..
because you granted all mine,
before.

I wish that I could,
go back in your arms

Chelsy

Its deja vue ive seen it before
Now you wanna be friends but nothing more.
I guess what we had ment jack squat
You think im handling it well but on the inside im not.
Smiling on the outside, but crying deep within,
they say that I will get over you but I really wanna know when
I was in love with you, but I wouldn’t say it
cause I blocked my heart so you couldn’t break it.
I felt in my heart it was you that I loved,
I felt in my soul it was you I could trust.
I opened my heart Still you tore it apart
I feel so stupid I feel so dumb
My hands are shaking my body is numb.
In my head I wonder what to do
but know this scotty im still in love with you.

Brittany Tinkham

What is it about you I don’t really know.
but whatever it is I cannot seem to let you go.
You cheated on me time & time again
but you'd come crawling back, and id forgive your sins
"I love you Brittany" but those words are just for show
I know your doing me wrong but I cannot seem to let you go.
I thought that you cared
I thought that I could trust you
I let my guard when I told you I loved you.
Who you really are is now the person I know
Even thought I hate you
I cannot seem to let you go.

I cannot believe how long it's been
Oh my long lost sweet friend
I still remember those days
You held me in your wings
So loving and yet so gentle

Your smile still tells me
Everything would be okay
Just like an angel
Guiding each day

Your love sweeps my pain,
Your faith keeps them strong,
And your hope I know
Would bring me home

I’ve cried and tried to moved on
Even memories seem to hold on
Now that you have returned
Thank you for giving me
Meaning and true inspiration

Herofil Olarte

Fading colors, unspeakable dreams So gray day after day, night after night
Walking in the valley of misery
When will it change, no one knows
Definitely not for me and for you

Look what we have done
Frightening darkness morns the earth
So cold, be silent, something creeps from within
heart breaking footsteps shatter every dream

Help them but help me
So young yet so old
Reaping heavens fall into hell
Surely would dry every tear

Deceive me, manipulate them
So greedy, so powerful
Hegemony of supremacy
Made its legacy

Crawl like they do, beg as we do
Suffer our pain
For one day it will be yours
My unbreakable foe

Herofil Olarte

When you have no light to guide you
and no one to walk beside you
I will come to you
when the night is dark and stormy
you won't have to search for me
when you don't know how or why
but you have lost your way
have new fear when your dreams are falling
I will hear your spirit calling
and I swear I will be there
see even if we cannot be together now and forever
and I swear that I will be there
we all need somebody we can turn to
someone who will always understand
so even if your soul is dieing
and you need the strength to keep trying
I’ll reach out and take your hand
for I will come to you.

My Fav. Color is green
My Number will always be 3
Im trying to guess can you see
your Fav. Numbers indeed
if I take a wild guess
it can take me all night
or even a whole year to guess it right
so I rather have you tell me my buddy my dear
But I can guess your color
maybe red
maybe blue
what about black or even brown to match your hair
or yellow
what about pink
White you say?
that’s plain
But I guess its ok cause I named the color you said
when you asked
every color makes white cannot you see
the color you picked had me

Jackie Hergh

Picture the sky without the stars above,
or a forest without trees.
Picture a person without a friend to love,
or an ocean without a breeze.

Picture a birthday without presents,
or a playground without a child.
But the saddest picture there is to see,
is a woman's face without a smile.

The face of a woman was made to smile,
and thereby she is blessed.
Above the creatures of field and stream,
the birds and all the rest.

A woman is just a little lower,
than the angels in the sky.
The reason is in her smile,
it's there her beauty lies.

Bart Adams

If Im back like life
if Im back once again
like an endless wave
if Im back to you
don't tell me that it's too late
Im back from a so long trip
to see the sky in your look
and the beauty on your face

I set the time lines
and walked on the other planets
I went to the end of the wind
but it's here that all stops
I did hundred times the tour of the earth
tasted the water of all the fountains
touched the heart of the light
nothing ever keeps me

Where Im till where I will go
there are your footprints
I would like to tell you that I have never

I have never, never, never seen farther than you
I have never, never, never seen farther than you

If Im back from my forgetfulnesses
if Im back from my wanderings
if Im back it's that today
I want to break the silence
Don't tell me that it's too early
To talk about the eternity
in my music and in my words
it's always you that I sang

Where Im till where I will go
there are your footprints
I would like to tell you that I have never

I have never, never, never seen farther than you
I have never, never, never seen farther than you

Roger Tabra

Someday, I will wave my hand, breathe my heart and reminisce the past,
as I look at the orange grace of the sun at me.

Someday, I will set my dreams of how they meant to be thinking that reality really means everything.

Someday, the night will fall onto me, giving the blue blossom and peace of mind,
as silence tells me to be calm and wide.
Stones of grieves may feel the temper of the wind.

Someday, satisfaction will arrive.
The thunder shall no longer cry and the storm shall lead us to an endless.
The wind shall be different, as it flows smoothly.
Everything will shine and transparency will color.

Shiela Mae Suazo

The twisting in his stomach
was telling a tale
of a turning heart

While he filled the pages
with the shards of words
of a burning art

She lies under sheets
and stares up at a dancing thought
that’s has taken the night

Beneath this chilly sky
it's the hope of something beautiful
that has taken the night

Between them sits a road
a road so covered in snow
some say, it could make you blind

A road so covered in snow
some say, if you waited just long enough
it would be a beautiful place to find

Cory Jones

If I can see the Sun
then why am I still
so cold?
Watching the leaves dying
just to be
picked up
again

Im as naked as the trees
Im as frozen as the ground
I will keep watching the leaves
as we both fall down

So I will follow October
as she slowly
walks away
Im sure I will get it
right
next time
I promise

Cory Jones

Some say I could have stopped this crime
but I swear it happened too fast
as I watched her escaping
escaping her past
just in time
just…
in time

And some say she's trespassed these walls before
but I swear she's just looking for light
as I watched her steal this heart
steal this heart tonight
just once for
just…
once more

Cory Jones

Blinded by the crowd,
you cannot make decisions.
Intimidated to reveal yourself,
scared to be an individual.

You don’t know who you are,
following everyone else.
No opinion, No choice,
you are merely one of them.

You're trying too hard,
not being yourself.
Your friends don’t know you,
for now you have changed.

You've sacrificed it all,
only to blend in.
You don’t really like them,
you don’t like yourself.

Helen Bidwell

When Im down.
I think of you, knowing you can bring me up.
When Im mad.
I think of you, know you would calm me down
When im sad.
I think of you making me smile.
But Best of all When Im happy.
I know its because Im proud of you…
For being you.

Camille

Shooting stars keep a night sky alive
and calm dark waters are rippled by a feeding fish
With our back against the dewy grass, you whisper,
"they dont last.....so make a wish."
They burn so bright, then drop out of sight
I would spend a lifetime to take it all in
Maybe our fires done burning
and like those stars.....weve fallen
Our past sings through swaying trees
and words break silence like a distant wind chime
Maybe this is only the beginning
and we will burn brighter in time
So tonight I share my wish
to the girl with the broken smile
ill throw it all in the water
and ask her to stay a while

Cory Jones

It's easier for you to just walk away
Than it is to reach out to me
It's easier for you to just turn around
Than to see the depth of my despair
It's easier for you to just look through
Than it is to see the "real" me
It's easier for you to distance yourself
Than it is for you to care
It's easier for me to just look away
Than it is to see the betrayal in my eyes
It is easier for me to cry
Than it is for me to speak
It's easier for me to walk alone
Than it is to face rejection
It's easier for me to keep to myself
Than it is to create a new projection
It's hard for me to smile
When Im hurting
It's hard for me to talk
When you don't understand
It's hard for me to reach out
When I need help as well
It's hard and wounding
Trying to get up without a hand
If only once you'd really look at me
And see who I really am
If only once you'd really listen to me
And only try to understand
Why I want you to care about me
Without asking why
Then maybe you'd validate my feelings
And realize why I cry

Kristen Cossey

Will I?
Why ask?
"You don't
love for ever."
That is why she
isn't looking.
"Good.".....
...............
...Good looking
isn't she?
"Why is that
ever for love?"
Don't you
ask why?
"I will.".…

Cory Jones

Let me give you a knife
and my arm
and you can cut it for me
so you see the anger in my eyes.
You say mean things to me
but it doesn't stop there
No, your words go deep inside
and stay with me forever.
Im taking this hard
but why shouldnt I?
I look at you with disgust
as I see you walk by.
The silence it kills me
but it'll always be the same
But Id take silence
then have to replay those memories in my head
What did I do to deserve this?
Im sick of making excuses for you
So lets just leave,
Pretend it never happened.
Somebody pinch me
please tell me Im dreaming
Let me wake in the morning
and it'll not be my reality.

Blaire

How can you know so much about me
and not bat an eye, but want to know more?
You know when Im mad and say all the right things
We fit so well together, but I dont wanna do this.
You dont wanna know how I feel
It would eat you up inside, tearing your soul from your body
Devouring it whole.
You know so much, but theres still so much more
Stick around, and maybe you will learn something
You're gonna get tired of me soon
everyone always does.
Its such a disappointment that everything good
goes away in the end

Blaire

The door is always open and unlocked
this is where I will spend most of my time now
I know....Im alone here, but it's getting a little crowded
And I know.... you wanted to take everything with you
but memory still speaks your name
So sneak into this room I call my thoughts
tear down these black curtains
Let me stare into the sun, I've forgotten how it feels
break open these frozen windows
Let me stare into your eyes, I've forgotten how it feels
Im trapped between four corners too familiar
and a ceiling much too low
You said you wouldn't help me tear down these walls
but ripping away these posters of regret
is the least you could do
For now I will lay in this empty bed
and hide under these sheets once again
waiting while I fade away once more
this blanket still smells of you
I don't want this again
I give this to you
through this pen and to a heart you call your own
A letter...
A dilemma...
A poem...
A notice that I've given up.

Cory Jones

Shadows of clouds darken the already night sky
for now I will focus on the snowy white peaks
that mask on the silhouette of mountains
that face above the approaching highway
The song on the radio serves a timely reminder
as I await before the final intersection
idle before the motionless lights
I watch the windshield wipers
push the water of these raindrops
my favored casualties
my intolerable souvenirs
I'd like to think this red glare
would stay forever
but it will soon turn green
and I will have to move on
To a bed, just to rest my head
heavy with the thought
of how I could just turn back
and do it all again

Cory Jones

Life is full of memories
With family and friends who care
But of course we have enemies
And those we don't care to share
Life is full of love
Whether it be good or bad
If it's good, you soar like a dove
If it's bad, you're just very sad
Life is what you want it to be
You make your own decisions
What you do is what we see
So don't make it look like a bad incision
Go down your path of life
And you will find your inside
You may soon find your husband or wife
When you find that special one, hope they will abye

Ashley Schultz

1 FLOWER
At your last breath
A new life is promising
You sacrifice your beauty
To make the green eternity

2 FRUIT
Though burdened with ripeness
You always droop your head modestly
Providing both seed and food
Never have you complained

3 LEAF
Seldom have you received any praise
Though contributing a lot
To the fragrance of fruit

4 BRANCH
Bravely confronting the north wind's attack
Shouldering all the weight
You manage to stand
To prepare strength for the growth of the coming days

5 ROOT
Buried silently underground
You never stop working hard
Nor do you ever struggle for fame

Flower, fruit, leaf, branch and root
Join together into green beauty

Qinglin Liu

See the rainbow
after sandy clouded day
smile to life , see all colors
you know
there are some friends overseas
try to make a boat!

Mehrdad

I wandered for what seemed forever
I searched all the lands
but I could not hope
no not ever
that I would find an oasis
from which I could drink
such sweet waters
nor taste fruit
that gave so much pleasure

John

If i could be anything in the world,
i'ld be your tear drop,
born in your eyes,
live on your cheeks,
and die on your lips.

but if you were a tear in my eye,
i would be scared to cry,
because i will lose you.

Kayleigh Freeman

I've got the message,
it's the words i forget.
Im the electric buzz,
of a muted TV set.
Search thru static,
for words unspoken.
Im the radio,
who's antennae was broken.
Crumpled into a ball,
and tossed under your bed.
Im the paper,
of a poem misread.
Listen closely,
and I hope you find.
We can be the music,
that you don't rewind.

Cory Jones

I walk this empty hallway,
my shoes untied,
followed by the shadow,
of things i should have tried.
As you pass me,
your presence hits me,
I fall on silent words,
Did you notice me?
Take this heart,
because it was free,
how do I stop you?
how do i catch thee?

Cory Jones

If she only knew what she does to me
The way she makes me feel
Feel all alone
If she only knew what her beauty does to me
Keeping me up all night
But I cannot fight this feeling
The feeling I have for her
If she only knew how much I long for her
Would she have a change of heart?
If she only knew she is the only one for me
How would it be?
I wonder
If she will ever know...

Kory Kramer

Yesterday,
...you left me behind

This morning,
...it was you on my mind

Tonight,
...my pride I will try to regain

Tomorrow,
...I hope we meet again.

Cory Jones

Last night, we put on the cruise control
and switched on the autopilot

Travelled thru the night
just me and you
with the moon overhead

Caught by your stray bullet
I lost sight and direction
Caught by your stray bullet
I found a connection

We were in the presence of memories
flashing cameras
capturing moments

In a perfect world
there was no timeframe
In a perfect world
tomorrow wil have never come

Now i sit here today
empty room.... me and my pen

Digging myself deeper
my words are always free
Digging myself deeper
It's so typical of me

Back at the start
Im pushing away
I hope you kept a place in memory

I will be here
but keeping hope is tough
I will be here
when will that be enough

Cory Jones

Walking backwards barefooted through the grass
our memories become blindfolded
and emotions become nameless

Let's press rewind
go back to the start

As the butterflies come rushing back
reasons become useless
and excuses are now needless

Let's put time in reverse
go back to the beginning

As the sun sets in the West
we can now return home
laugh like we used to
live like we once did

Cory Jones

The rain pours down
runs off my face
and soaks my clothes,

It continues to the ground
fills the puddles
and soaks my toes,

Vehicles speed by
giving advice
and wishing me luck,

Don't they see Im hopeless,
going nowhere,
and stuck?

I continue a drifter
side of the road
thumb extended,

Another car passes
I think it's you
or at least pretended,

I continue walking
I can turn my back
Im a person too,

but I see another
over the horizon
I hope it's you.

Cory Jones

Stars are bright and shiny, for everyone to see, you truely are a star indeed especially to me. And when the night is dark, and light should seldom show, you brighten up my world with your warm and happy glow. So when people put you down and say you're not worth a bar, you just tell them I said, "you truely are a star."

Gemini Stone

We arrive in a rushing lucid dream,
falling stars and angel's dust,
this trip has no particular theme,

Our indefinite and unconscious state,
is blown away to dream-like ecstasy,
seduce the colours and clean the slate,

Racing all the vibrant lights and shapes,
leaving behind only a current and a concept,
infinite is flying without capes,

A flicker of light radiates in the air,
psychedelic signal fire above our heads,
our alertness has naver been so bare,

But we awake from our coma to needles & pins,
numbness followed by clouded pictures & memories,
amnesia is the hangover for our sins.

Cory Jones

Take me from this game,
The game of vague questions & their hidden meanings,
strategic confessions & their empty promises,
Where you can take very little and give even less,

So come aboard with me,
and let's exit this game,
Fly to someplace new,

To a place filled with needs and an impulse,
where we don't have to ask....we just know,
Somewhere we can pass on the searching,
and start observing the outcome,

So come aboard with me,
and let's progress beyond this game,
Invent our own pastime.

Cory Jones

Another December morning, I've been here before,
I see you awakening beside me,
Maybe this will be the morning,
The morning you finally break the horizon,
And clear the winter clouds above,
Maybe this will be the morning,
You warm the fog I lay in,
And rid of all the dew that keeps me wet,
And maybe this will be the morning,
You share the light you've only teased me with,
And give me the warmth you've only promised.

Cory Jones

L is for your lips, which are sweet and luscious.
I is for your intellect, you are both intelligent and sexy.
S is for your soul, so pure and so bold.
B is for your beauty, both inside and out.
E is for excitement, which you bring into my life.
T is for time, which I always cherish when Im with you.
Together these letters spell the most precious thing in my life.
You symbolize perfection, like a dove symbolizes peace.

Noel Garcia

Seems the message has lost its clarity,
I hide behind my sarcasm, a poor man's prosperity,
Irritating....My insecurities buzzing like flies,
I'd seem more sincere if I could look you in the eyes,
But it feels like trespassing...I cannot decide on this or that,
Just a drifter looking for the welcome mat,
Your answer seems so pre-defined so why bother ask?
I should quit while Im ahead and put on my mask,
But yet I sit and think of what I'd say,
About how much i like you, I dream of the day,
But when the day comes, I don't come clean,
I protect myself, say things I don't mean,
Trying to find my point? Pick your spots,
There hidden in my stumbling words and misleading thoughts,
Don't know what to say? I've probably confused you,
Just blame it on me.....I always do.

Cory Jones

Thoughts and feelings run through my head.
I never thought that's what you had said.
I don’t understand, not anymore.
And that’s why I walked through the door.

Did you really say that?
Or am I just dreaming?
Its like the words were pulled outta a hat.
So everynight, I wake up screaming.

Now as I stare into taillights,
On this long && cold day.
Im so afraid of heights,
And everything you used to say..

Tayler Hutchinson

The color of mother's hair is given to me
It returns to the original white
The look in father's eyes is passed on me
It shows the indifference of old face
A very beautiful name
A place I was attached to
When lights are off one by one
except one
When every door is closed tightly
except one
There is only one yellow light
There is only one unlocked door
Wherever I fly to or go across
As long as I turn around
There is always a light, behind a door
Just because it has a very beautiful name
It has the width and tenderness of the sea

Zhiwei Wan

They tell if you want something
you should throw it away
............ throw it back
like the big fish
.... the big wish
Don't you ever wish?
..... you ever wonder
Don't you.…
........ ever?

Cory Jones

Late as always, the boy finds his way
and boards the moving train.
He moves to an open spot,
and sits beside Chance,
. . . or was her name Coincidence?
Curious anyways the boy glances over,
noticing her calling eyes,
and selfish smile,
. . . just asking to be caught.
Was this that game he heard so much about?
or just two people playing Solitare?
Feeling a little optimistic,
the boy keeps pretending,
but saying anything would be a calculated risk.
One cannot help but notice,
how this conversation was molded,
by the same men who built these tracks.
And one cannot help but wonder,
how the scenery can be passing them by,
and they can be standing in one place.
So he heads to the exit and escapes,
to his trusty scapegoat, "Well maybe next time."
Because this is his stop,
so he's getting off.

Im the addict
who has quit, but still
has the itch
Turn your back
and keep me searching, it's what keeps you rich
But I continue to live
in poverty, because Im free
Searching thru eyes
that are open, but cannot see
So force a smile
and whisper, tell me this is true
Because I've been waiting
for someone, someone just like you

In the sense of a flower
there must be you
girl of nature
therein will lie
your beautiful thoughts
In the sense of sky
there must be you
girl of star
therein will lie
your brilliant smile
In the sense of the sea
there must be you
girl of ocean
therein will lie
your profound look
In the sense of the wind
there must be you
girl of art
therein will lie
your poetic romanticism

Im not a woman, but she doesn't get it.
Im not her, but she doesn't get it.
She thinks through her gender,
And soon will regret it.
I think like a man,
But she doesn't get it.

Can't you see? Don't you care?
I want to die.
don't you listen? Can't you hear?
my silent cry.
wont you turn?can't you hold?
me to your heart.
are you afraid of what might follow.
once you start.
would you rather not belive?
im in such pain.
that all your sense and good advice
must be in vain.

You
Look at me for a while
Look at clouds for a while
I find
When you look at clouds
you are near
When you look at me
you are far

I was going to see the maple leaves
To appreciate maple leaves
we cannot just watch one maple tree
After three hours' driving
I was approaching the maple forest
The closer we approach a maple forest
the more disappointed we are
In our imagination
maple leaves should be exuberant with a very brilliant red
In fact
we can never see this kind of red
In the sun
the leaves of maple forest have three colors
red, yellow and green
When we are close to them
we will find
every leaf is gnawed
and it has not a pure color but a withered one
To appreciate beauty
we must choose the best moment, the best angle, and the best distance
However
if we have never approached a beautiful thing
we will never know which distance would be the best one for appreciating
Life teaches us how to appreciate it

Min Min

From a hillside
from a forest
by a soft hand
is picked up
this leaf-shaped heart
Perhaps it has no deep meaning
but a mark hit by frost
This reminds me
of a dusk a shade of forest
from a small mouth that wanted to say but stopped again
from my shoulder
the afterglow that was gently blown away
and now comes back to heart
especially heavy
I may deny this piece of maple leaf
deny it, like rejecting a kind of intimacy
However henceforth
whenever the wind blows
I always cannot help turning my head
listening to the helpless tremble on your twigs
