Aspirations and inspirations

The Void

2008-05-13T16:18:00.003+08:00

When it lies before us,
how can death not tempt?
The void it lies in contrast to the glare above.

The emptiness from loneliness fills the hunger of frailty.
Convictions from the present outshine the past,
the future finds an avenue of escape.

I am afraid, frightened by the void.
The same void I've held onto dearly.

A Thousand People Outside

2007-05-18T02:36:00.000+08:00

A thousand people outside
clobbering at your windows, ready to break them down.
A thousand people outside
wailing and crying, like skin torn from flesh.
A thousand people outside
not ready to leave without a fight, feet shuffling from piling anxiety.
A thousand people outside
flashing their torches in, fighting to catch a glimpse of fear.
A thousand people outside
banging their drums, the rhythm broken yet firm.

A lonely person inside
Listening to the storm outside, lying awake in bed.

White Supremacy

2007-04-24T02:00:00.000+08:00

Live the simple life, that's what they say
You take the beatings and abuse with a smile.
Let them rule your world, and stand above your head
You know you want it, you know you love it

Invite the devil with both arms, knowing that you'll end up dead
You loth the happiness, and love the sadness it brings.
Call upon the white snow, bring winter ahead
Wear the white uniform that drops from above.

Play with words and play with hearts
Cheat the people that serve your lies.
Squeeze them dry till no more's left
Drink and frolic among their deaths.

Take a stroll

2006-11-17T23:01:00.000+08:00

Stroll along to the words of this song,
Stroll along to the word of this song
Stop on the bridge, Breathe in the splendour
Take a moment, pause a while to let your mind wander

Stroll along to the words of this song,
Stroll along to the word of this song
Let your body come to rest, feel your soul at peace
Come to your own realisation, take a while to figure

Whinings

2006-10-29T22:23:00.000+08:00

The cool breeze stills the mind,
but brings subtle loneliness.
Soon we'll freeze and lament,
for we chose to stay.

The trimmings on the side might charm,
but soon thy'll fade away.
The sight is astounding, enjoy it while it lasts,
but what lasts anyway?

Share what you have, they'll soon be mine
For I've lost what I had, and you'll soon lose yours.

Liberty

2006-09-19T00:58:00.000+08:00

I love the smell of fresh air,
when I run freely down the road
My actions flow freely,
my words speak forth with pure honesty

I love the taste of liberation,
when blended with a touch of open mindedness
Serve me a cocktail of freedom and truth,
top it with a drop of sincerity

Bring me out of this world,
fly me to where I know is real
Plant me deeply in this ground,
my home I know for sure
The open sky and vast sea,
where I know I'm free.

Today was meant to be special

2006-05-31T23:21:00.000+08:00

The sun was out, so bright it shone,
For today was meant to be special.

To lay in bed, and lazy all day,
For today was meant to be special.

Today you came, and lazed with me,
For today was meant to be special.

My lips they graze, upon your face,
For today was meant to be special.

The gaze you gave, they felt so soft,
For today was meant to be special.

If only time stood still,
we'll never grow old and still be here.
Then we would last,
for not even death would do us part.

The Wait

2006-03-24T00:55:00.000+08:00

I guess we'll just never see each other again.
The countless times you said you would, but you wouldn't, said you could, but you couldn't.
I guess I'll just never feel your touch again.
You came and go like you should, but you shouldn't, said you'd return but you didn't.

Was it well worth the wait?
Was the time worth spending?

I've learnt to face reality,
to face the truth, that I've avoided all these years
There's a void between us,
it's right there, inside this heart you fail to see

I don't want to carry on the wait,
for it's far too long, and I've grown weary
I chose to move on and see,
there's a world outside, it awaits for me.

I don't mind

2006-03-05T15:36:00.000+08:00

I don't mind, I don't mind
If the day is spend on hours of labour

I don't mind, I don't mind
If we don't have the time for one another

I don't mind, I don't mind
The sleepless nights that work bring

I don't mind, I don't mind
If my time's always on a swing

I'm still here though it's never enough
The time we have just for a laugh
I'll always be waiting for the day
where there'll never be any delay
where I'll be waiting round the bend
where time is held just in my hands

Staged Picture (incomplete)

2005-12-26T22:46:00.000+08:00

I've got so many things
In my head I want to say
Should I paint a picture?
Or should I stage a play?

The sketches in my head,
wander about its frame.
Smugged and splattered,
the painter had no say.

Where do they belong?
The stage has no place.
Playing out their parts,
their lines enters a void.

Story Of A Sad Man

2005-11-29T22:08:00.000+08:00

The red sky tells the story of a sad man.
The clouds form, the tears well.
The crashing bolts say of his anger.
The flashing streaks, the deafening roar.

Will the story ever end? Will the storm ever cease?
The clouds may clear, the sun might shine.
Soon we'll see the blood red sky, soon we;ll hear the crashing bolts.
Never will we have everlasting calm, nor the tranquility we yearn.

Imprint in my head

2005-10-02T20:44:00.000+08:00

The early morning silence,
the rainbow clouds.
The perfect sunrise,
in a quiet town.
The sound of scarce traffic,
the first light of day.
I think of the present,
the past and the future.

Your image appears,
it never fades.
The picture in a frame,
the imprint in my head.
I believe the future will never take,
this picture away.
For its beauty should stay,
and never fleet away.

Night

2005-10-02T20:39:00.000+08:00

The silence of the night prevails,
from what might seem a sorry sight.
The motors roar a rowdy cheer,
the empty streets with neon light.

The vanity of the night unveils,
the sorry drunks from lonesome sinners.
Will this be his lucky night?
The hunter waits to get his dinner.

Thunder and Lightning

2005-10-02T20:34:00.000+08:00

Watch how night turns to day,
as fear pounces at each strike.
See the light come and go,
teasing your senses like a game.

Catch the neverending race,
as sound chases light.
The battle of Thor and Odin,
the eternal fight for pride

Are they blood,
or are they tears?
From the sky,
it falls along cries of war

Happy Birthday!

2005-09-01T01:06:00.000+08:00

Congratulations, you've walked another year,
crossed oceans and mountains with sweat and tears.
Tribulations, they seem too much to clear,
fret not, you've got a friend who's here.

Let's take our time and waltz this road
of what might seem too long a route.
You'll see the ocean as just a puddle,
the mountain is just another rubble.

Let each year be a medal worn,
for battles you have bravely won.
Hear the cheers of those you love,
the memories of those you will preserve.

Hooray hooray!
It is your 22nd,
Happy birthday!
This poem would be your present!

----------------------------------------------
For Huizhen.
No present, so make do!

Thoughts

2005-08-06T03:00:00.000+08:00

My doings contradicts my sayings
My life is a contradiction speaking
The world still keeps revolving
Will I ever stop thinking?

Words that fail to retract,
propelled from within the filth
Dying for signs of contact,
thinking of who to love

They choose not to think anymore
They stop and ask, 'What for?'
For me I beg to differ
For thoughts are more than little

Give me each day my daily bread
for I've to keep my head well fed
Though God still brings new life each day
but memories of you continue to stay

See The Light

2005-08-03T02:32:00.000+08:00

As I pull these shades over my eyes,
I disappear from the eyes of the world.
I lose attention of my peers,
I draw affection from my fears.

As I view the darkness from my eyes,
I appreciate the light I once loath.
I lose the courage to fight tears,
I draw affection from my fears.

Help me break the thick black velvet,
help me see the bright blue sky.
Please pull me out for just this once,
that at last I can face the light.

The gift to have the beauty of sight,
to see the manifestation of pure light.

To: You & Me

2005-07-02T04:07:00.000+08:00

To you, is love just a game for two?
Where nothing actually cease to be true?
To you, does nothing ever really matter?
When each day breaks, this heart still falter?

To me, what is the answer that I seek?
The facts and fictionless words are bleak?
To me, what keeps me clinging to your drapes?
When it is just a rag that you forsake?

To you and me, will we ever be?
The future's there, but will we ever see?
To you and me, will we ever be?
Let's wait and see, what'll be will be.

The sun

2005-06-02T22:23:00.000+08:00

The sun falls flat on my face,
I can feel the pores on my skin, opening
The trickling of perspiration on my face,
I can feel the drops on my chin, dripping

The glare is too much for my eyes,
no shade can protect me from it's knives
My thirst is growing by the hour,
nothing can give me pleasure or comfort

I need a shelter, I need a refuge,
far away from the sun
I need my strength, I need composure,
or I'll have no where to run

Return the comfort of your breeze,
bring me water from your well
I need to rest,
but yes, I wouldn't dwell

Take me

2005-05-21T02:28:00.000+08:00

I want to join you in dreams
I want to run from reality
To be in your world,
that's where I should be

To know what goes on inside
To be alone with you inside
Take me to your side,
where you claim is without light

Let me share the moments I know is true
Take me with you
Take me with you

Being able to...

2005-05-21T02:26:00.000+08:00

Being able to sit by your side
To watch you lie in bed,
to wait for you to fall asleep

Being able to take care of your needs
To share happy and sad moments,
to do what you want me to do

I'm blessed, and am in bliss
I don't deserve another,
I don't deserve another

Her Suffering

2005-05-21T02:22:00.000+08:00

She sleeps in silence among the thorns
The scars they left, the bruises they caused
I stand from far away and watch
She warned me no to seek the source

It pains to see her cut and torn
Pains to see my weak 'flan'
My eyes they well up full of tears
My mind all caught with thoughts and fears

All I could do, was to look from afar
All I would do, is to take all your scars

Please believe me,
don't ever doubt me
I want to save you from the troubles
I want to take you out and run away, today.

I fear, I fear

2005-05-21T02:19:00.000+08:00

It is just all too surreal
All I could only dream of
But dreams aren't reality
They're just not meant for me

I am so afraid of losing it all
I do not look forward to the end
I only want time to stay still when it happens
I want the world to be quiet, where there're only both of us

We'll never worry about anything else but each other
We'll never ever miss anything else but each other

I do not want to disappear from your head
It was all just a silly thing called fate
I will just enjoy each moment while it last
I want to stop the thinking and the worrying

I want to end the stream that flow down your cheeks
Please stop saying that our future is nothing but bleak

Your Scent on me

2005-05-13T11:09:00.000+08:00

Your scent is on me,
I'm glad and happy
Floating among the clouds,
gleaming in the crowds

I don't want this night to end
today I decide to pen

my thoughts and feelings
Inspirations and ramblings
I'm feeling euphoric
I'm feeling ecstatic

I don't want this night to end
Today I decide to pen

A Road To Follow

2005-05-11T11:36:00.000+08:00

Today felt like a dream,
And you're the reason why
Joy filled to the brim,
I felt like I could fly

The journey has been long,
With bare feet, I walked and walked
Stones and sticks, they prick my sole
Tired and weary, I walked alone

3 long years. I continue to walk
This arduous journey, I chose to take
There're no regrets, I enjoyed each moment
The times we shared, the times I treasure

Life can be surreal, it can be a pain
Leave the happy times, take away the sorrow
Live each day, like there's no tomorrow
Know who to love, know who to follow

More years may pass, still I will not falter

Lullaby

2005-04-24T23:16:00.000+08:00

Sing a sweet lullaby, hum a mellow tune.
Show me a clear blue sky, show me a rose in bloom.
Hear how a baby cry, hear how the children sing.
Feel the cool calm waters, feel the gentle breeze.

Kiss me and say goodbye,
tears fall, but soon they'll dry

---------------------------------------------------
Got inspired when I heard the song called 'Lullaby' that Victor Low from the Observatory wrote.
You can hear it on the website, http://www.theobservatory.com under their own side projects.

On Your Own

2005-03-22T17:53:00.000+08:00

I don't belong, anywhere
I stand alone, in a corner
I can't follow, instructions
I can't do anything, everything

Passed around like the flu, I wish I could get through
Run around like a fool, I'd want to lose my cool

Situations arise, the heat here is killing me
By my own device, I will find a way to survive
Travel along with my silence, swaying to the beats of sadness
Racing on to beat the champion, though my feet is sored and blistered

Your shoes, it won't fit,
on my feet, indeed
My heart, it won't beat,
to your heart, don't start

------------------------------------

It's complete.

(Untitled)

2005-03-14T23:53:00.000+08:00

I don't belong
anywhere
I stand alone, in a corner
I can't follow
instructions
I can't do anything

Passed around like the flu,
I wish I could get through
Run around like a fool, I'd want to lose my cool

Situations arise, the heat here is killing me
By my own device, I will find a way to survive

Monday feeling

2005-03-14T23:45:00.000+08:00

Yes, it's a monday,
the feeling of blue is nothing new
Four days till Friday,
I'll keep dreaming for something true

I'll keep on dreaming, I'll keep on waiting

Destination nowhere,
ready to start but lazy to move
Tranquilizing feeling,
I'm living each day like there's nothing to do

I'll keep on dreaming, I'll keep on waiting

Move slow, move slow
Watch the images passing by
Losing control,
My mind is growing old with rust

--------------------------------------------------------------

Live your dreams. Please.

Show me the way

2005-02-06T03:04:00.000+08:00

Where can I find, a hand to hold
I need the warmth, to ease the cold
The darkness in here, has blinded me
There's no given space, and I just can't breath

It's time to feel, that the time is right
The clouds are gone, and I see the light
Though the moment is here, I'm still afraid
There is nothing to see, and I'm losing faith

I like it here, the music's fine
The cold dark walls, there's none in sight
Though the feeling is great, I'm still afraid
There is nothing to steer, and I'm losing faith

Throw up your thoughts,
and let me into your heart
Don't hold the ropes,
that keep you still in the dark

Show me the way
Don't ever stray
Show me the way
Hear what I say
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Inspired by 'Something about us' by daft punk. I followed the beats... heh. Try singing to the tune.

Wind

2005-01-08T14:20:00.000+08:00

Let the cold wind caress me
Let the cool breeze seduce me

Let me drift
along your sweet sweet embrace
Let me move
to your unrelenting rhythm

As I get high
to the moods of your gentle touch
As I sway
to the beats of your tender barge

How swift it comes on this lonesome night
The wind it calms this lonesome sight

Don't forget

2005-01-04T07:54:00.000+08:00

Don't forget the day she came into your life
She looked great, the night she came into your life

Both were young and full of youth
Deciding to speak, a wall there lay
She drank and drank till she was no longer there
Anxious and worried he wandered the grounds

Sitting there in the corner,
lay shattered and lonely
There she was,
so beautiful and lovely

He called her name,
her head it turned but still she stayed
Her eyes were both glittering with light,
but black tears fell down from her sight

You Are Special

2004-11-22T14:15:00.000+08:00

I've always thought
that everyone's waiting
for that special someone
among the people
we meet everyday

I've always thought
fate pulls the strings
from that special someone
among the people
to me one fine day

But I've decided
that everyone's special
The people we know
for only seconds
They pave a way
and leave a mark
that makes a change

He is special
She is special
I am special
You are special

In The Making

2004-10-27T01:28:00.000+08:00

It's such tiresome fun
Standing still in the sun
The cameras and tracks are rolling
The long hours waiting and acting
Help me keep the noise
quiet and still
Please focus the lens
sharp and clear

He needs to keep it real
The crowd, entice and thrilled
He needs to keep it real
The script he has to be sure

The flash of lightning
The glow of the sun
They hold the rights to control
The power of the sun and the moon
Help me put the noise
where they belong
Please add the tunes
make right the wrong

When will I find

2004-10-17T23:43:00.000+08:00

Broken down, give me the security
So wrecked up, we comprise of the minority
Printed notes, they promise my upbringing
So unsure, what tomorrow lies for me

Empty faces, open places, where I live inside
So pretentious, great pretenders, they all lurk inside

When will I find, a place for me to hide
Where can I find, a place for me to cry

My head, it lives within a rock
My poor soul, it strives to break the lock
My dear friends, I'm sorry you knew me
Society, at last I turn myself in

Against All Odds

2004-10-05T02:22:00.000+08:00

I want to walk alone in the darkness
Bring myself away from the nonchalence
Being able to guide myself through blindness
Listening humbly despite being deaf
Speaking the truth although I'm dumb
Touching hearts without my hands
Running the race as a cripple
Living the life although I'm dead

I want to be able to make the difference
Choosing to walk away while everyone walks ahead
Going against all odds and difficulties
Knowing that it's a losing war I'm fighting

The Lonesome Train

2004-09-21T01:12:00.000+08:00

Bask yourself in the pale moonlight (tonight)
Spread yourself in the cold fine sand (tonight)
Close your eyes and see the world (tonight)
Reach out and heal the broken hearts (tonight)

I have been lost for too long now
I miss the things I once held close
The end is getting near with each new day
Pack your bags and leave, let's not delay

Feel the warmth of the morning sun (today)
The noon breeze blows your thoughts away (today)
The velvet grass feels soft beneath your feet (today)
Run freely with the pure white clouds (today)

I awake at the sound of midnight
Finding myself alone with the silence
Nothing to cover the silent pain
No one to board this lonesome train

The Prism (Ray of Hope)

2004-09-19T13:12:00.000+08:00

Let your rays shine through the prism of life,
differentiating the things that prove your existance
Watch the ray of hope glimmer in the dark,
watch the ray of hope glow within your heart
The hope that keeps us all alive,
the hope that gives us all a light

Watch how the light grows dim,
in this dark, cold, misty night
I can barely see what is ahead of me
The ray of hope shines a path of truth for me

Guide me in this sinister forest
Lead me forward without a fear,
a fear so close for many years
Let the prism take away your fear,
let the prism beam your ray of hope
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Sounds rather weird...
Maybe someone can help make some changes?
Make it sound better.

The Thieves of Time

2004-09-11T15:27:00.000+08:00

Time has been stolen,
right beneath our noses
There was no replacement,
for this precious item

We were made to believe,
that it was all well spent
Minutes and hours,
spent from their vicoious hands

They thought they were my father,
orders of discipline and rules
They want to be my mother,
they feed me and they clothe me

Repay me, don't shortchange me
For it is the only privillage I have
They squeeze me, not hearing me
For they're only doing what I think is theft
They are the ruthless thieves of time

Life of a man

2004-09-06T21:21:00.000+08:00

The whole world up against a single man,
they turn their backs and devise a plan
Swift blows of management from all four sides,
take turns to savour his years of pride

Relentlessly he took a graceful fall,
his slow slow death means nothing to all
Overlooked, the trophies once earned
Overworked, the products he churned

How lonely, the man the world has forgotten
Ungrateful, his friends that once had exploited
Wasted a life he once had led,
a passing breeze the friends he met

Now the world has turned their attention,
to another man who has all their affection.

Lazy sunday afternoon

2004-09-01T19:32:00.000+08:00

Buming on a lazy sunday afternoon
Running with this lazy bag of bones
Off to the precious land of dreams
Off to catch my dear friend called sleep

Sitting on a bus loaded with thoughts
Scribbling on a scrappy notebook here
Off to the precious land of dreams
Off to the light waiting at the end

Wake me up when we're there
I've gotta see the scenary
Wake me up when we're there
I've gotta stop the lady's cry

Gamble to shame

2004-09-01T19:29:00.000+08:00

Play, play, waste your life away
Dollars and cents, it's not making sense
Play, play, be in total dismay
Life's a game, gamble to shame

The doors are open, like their arms
Welcoming smiles, they sit you down
The tables are ready, like your money
Sardonic smiles, full and aplenty
Choose, decide, and place your bets
You take your place with no regrets
Lose and lose, round after round
The deeper you go, the bigger you frown
You wished you've never started this neverending game
But no use regretting, you've fallen to shame

Love to hate love

2004-09-01T19:26:00.000+08:00

I hate to put my fingers
into a box of empty cigarettes
To watch fine silk dislodge it's roots
from a head of empty loneliness

I hate to write lenghty letters
and address them to nobody out there
To be on your list of ignores
for a friend whom nobody seems to care

The moments of chance
the closeness we chose to dance
wings we spread to fly
your tight grip, I wouldn't deny
Those times are few and rare
I'll treasure, and never share
I'll love to hate love
I'll learn to hate love

Thank you...Sorry

2004-09-01T19:24:00.000+08:00

Thank you for leaving the light on
The many nights of endless waiting
The many calls left unanswered

Thank you for paving a way for me to follow
The many nights of endless lectures
The advice left on empty ears

Thank you for creating many wonders
The many mouths waiting to be fed
The table often left empty

But sorry I've gotta go,
to a place I call my own
The light I choose to extinguish,
my life I yearn to accomplish
The wonders I chose to forsake
The advice I chose not to take
Let go of my hand and let me be
Your womb you lent, now set me free

Blatant Monday

2004-09-01T19:15:00.000+08:00

The daily regime is killing me
The mornings are slow and painful
The torment grows with each passing day
Crawling up my nerves, taking turns to play

The suffering is too much to bear
There's nothing here for me to care
When can I leave this forsaken place
where hearts are cold in pure solace

My urge to leave so strong till now
my heart and mind so weary and dull
I write and write each passing day
hoping that time holds no delay
Wasting away a blatant monday

Life

2004-09-01T19:10:00.000+08:00

I close my eyes to see the world
It's darkness all around, with no one else
Now they open wide to view
The light seems bright, it seems clear to move

Why did the windows choose to stay shut
when the view, it is so beautiful?
Why did I choose to rest
When I'm so near that I can touch the line?

Take some time to think
Take more time to feel
But don't take too long to stop
the end might just be near

Innermost rush

2004-09-01T19:06:00.000+08:00

The colours of society beams right through me
I am condemned, for transparent I am
Cheers to lonely hearts, fears consume our blood
Wretched screams are breaking free
Contained for so long now, dying to flee

The rhythem is there for you to follow
Dancing as though there's no tomorrow
Sing along my happy tune
Like the flowers, please come to bloom
Walking by the crowded street
Street lamps shine upon our feet
Look and see how much you glow
But dark as night my heart it grows

Flight to hope

2004-09-01T19:00:00.000+08:00

Dreams are there to be pursued
but not to be realised
You can spend your whole life chasing
Running with all your might
Tell me, who will know your plight?

The sweat runs down your brow
You feel the strain and the pain
You swallow your remaining pride
Your past is thrown aside
Tell me, who can take things by their stride?

Pick up the remains
run along with me
Strike the fears that come
Arm yourself and fight
Prepare to take flight

Be brave my friend
hope still embraces
whatever's left of you
Arm yourself and fight
Prepare to take flight

You grow weak with fear
Your vision weakens
All you see is no longer clear
Your wounds still fresh from battle
Tell me, who is willing to stay and fight?

Left with no one else
Friends slain and captured
Some flee with cowardice
Others strike you from behind
Tell me, who will stay by your side?

On your own

2004-09-01T18:55:00.000+08:00

It's about time
I've come to terms with myself
I've been lost for so long
dragged along with the hands of time

Being a lost soul
without a mind of my own
Drifting for so long
floating along in the passage of time

Please stand up(on your own)
make the decisions(on your own)

Oppurtunities,
they don't last for long
While they're there,
reach out and grasp
On your own
On your own

No one will be there to save you
No one will be there to guide you
You've gotta finish what you've started
Complete the race of time

The balance

2004-09-01T18:53:00.000+08:00

Where can we find a balance?
The rich and snobbish,
the poor and the suffering
There's no way ahead
It's just a dead end
And you can't retreat
Blindly a choice is made
A choice of regret

Surrounding people

2004-09-01T18:50:00.000+08:00

Worry over nothing
caring for things that are not for me
Bothered about people
weary about the surroundings which encave me

Eyes that see,
not only look, but pierce the soul
Arrows of fire, dart toward me
Killing whatever's
left within me

Empty pieces

2004-09-01T18:46:00.000+08:00

Programmed for progress
made for deceitful lies
Executed for progress
trained to replace the misplaced

We are but empty pieces
on a board, being played by our makers
We can only watch, but not move
as we fulfill our destiny, which isn't our own

Made for different purposes
We're chosen to fill the gaps in the game of life

In your decaying self

2004-09-01T18:42:00.000+08:00

When there's nothing to do,
I do nothing
Why find trouble,
when there's none?

When there's something to do,
I do it
Why push it aside,
when you mustn't?

Curse my mentality if you must
it's already cursed
Plague my mind if you want
it's already plagued

I'll deafen myself, and sit in a corner,
I'll blind myself,and face a wall,
while I listen to your screams
and watch you reside to your blessed fate
In your decaying self

The rich poor man

2004-09-01T18:39:00.000+08:00

I am but a rich man
Abundant to give,
but no one to receive
So wealthy, yet lonely

I am but a poor man
So lacking in everything,
with no one willing to give
So poor, still lonely

I am the king of beggers
Clothed in rags of filth
with the scent of agony
and the scent of emptiness

I am the lord of riches
with the finest of gems
Gems of loneliness
and gems of disappointment

Knowing

2004-09-01T18:35:00.000+08:00

Knowing the truth, a blessing
Accepting the facts, it's pleasing
Facing reality, our choosing
For what's good, please stop running

I turn and speak
to the voices within
Answering the questions
I once gave no attention

When will we ever learn
to open our eyes and see,
to open our ears and listen,
to open our hearts and feel,

To know the truth,
to accept the facts, and to face reality
To choose to know,
that we should know

My choice

2004-09-01T18:31:00.000+08:00

As soon as I got out,
I fell into another
You saved me,
but now you make me suffer
Yet again,
the feeling is the same
But the fault's not yours,
it's mine to claim
Let me take the blame,
allow me the pain

It is perfectly fine
You've always been right
To give me answers,
you're not obliged

Choose what pleases you
For I have made my choice
For you to be happy,
selfishly, that I might be
Happy but lonely,
that, I will be.

All I ask

2004-09-01T18:26:00.000+08:00

You are vital to my existance
You bring meaning to it all
You bring life to every corner
You lift me up should I fall

You are a wonder in this world
You make fantasies come true
You bring the dead to life
You conquer the depths of my soul

I've been waiting,
for this moment in this lifetime,
to cure me of my wounds,
left to rot and decay
All I ask, is for some time
I don't need an eternity
All I ask, is for some time
A moment of silence is all I seek

Confusion

2004-09-01T18:23:00.000+08:00

Questions and queries,
with moods of fury,
consume your sanity,
feed your mortality

Buckets of fear,
filled to the brim,
await the moment,
forming a stream

making your choice,
choose what entice,
for that moment of folly,
we act so holy

Strip yourself from clouded thoughts
There're rays of light, piercing through the grey
Pitter and patter, they fall from the sky
Refreshing each moment, you'd want to fly

To be a fish

2004-09-01T18:20:00.000+08:00

Put me in the sea
and I'd swim free
Put me in the river
and I'd swim free
Put me in a lake
and I'd swim free
Put me in a pond
and I'd swim free

If I were a fish,
I'd want to swim free
A bowl would be my home,
a tank would be my world
But all I ask,
is for you to be a fish,
together we'll be, forever with me

Time

2004-09-01T18:13:00.000+08:00

Ask yourself,
what is the most important thing
that we have, we need, we yearn

Precious time,
It consumes us, yet contains us, and controls us
We bow and listen to his commands,
following his orders, begging for mercy

Just rewards,
it's all we ask for
For him to slower his pace,
to increase it, or to stop at times

But who are we to ask?
We are but lowly slaves to our master, Time

Entrapped by his venom,
the antidote we seek, but can never find
When can we turn tables,
and be the masters of time?
