Pictures, Words and Songs

Many years ago when I was small,
I saw some pictures in the blue sky,
And so I painted them onto some drawing blocks…

Years later;
I saw some words besides the moon and the stars,
And so I wrote down words into my notebook,
And sometimes on some little scraps of papers…

A few years later;
I heard some tunes playing beyond the clouds above,
And so I wrote some songs,
And I sang them…

But I am no one,
I am just a man;
Who found pictures, words and songs…

Perhaps there are other things in life,
Perhaps there are better things in life,
But I am a man with pictures, words and songs…

And I shall go on;
Watching the blue sky,
Watching the moon and the stars,
Watching some clouds passing by…

I shall watch sunsets beyond the horizon too,
Perhaps angels would be there in a moment,
Listening to the rhythm of my heart…

Take A Ride

Yesterday is not dead,
It is just gone,
Spinning into the realm of our memories,
Together with our happiness,
Together with our sadness,
Or together with both…

Life spins,
Like a wheel of fortune,
And when it stops,
You know not where you are;
You might be somewhere in the kingdom of the undesirables,
Or you would end up in a beautiful garden of heavenly bliss,
Or at a rim of a menacing black hole;
Standing by to usurp you into nothingness…

Would you dare to ride again,
On your wheel of fortune?
And would you care if it spins at all?

I would take a ride through a wormhole,
For I am an adventurer with a yearning soul,
Take me to the land of a million sorrows,
And I shall be there without fear of any tomorrow…

Outside My Window

It’s late and the day is crawling away;
Perhaps the moon would come out to play,
Perhaps raindrops would wash the moon-glow,
Perhaps you are there outside my window,
Walking in the rain without an umbrella…

Perhaps I would take a walk,
Not with you – but with your memories,
Because you are a ghost,
Haunting outside my window…

Each time it rains,
I could hear your laughter,
And the memories would slowly drip,
Like some raindrops outside my window…

Little Things

Alone with my little thoughts,
In my own little world,
At a little place I love to dwell,
334 steps away from my door,
And raindrops keep falling…

I’m trapped;
But I am not going to try to be free,
Not because I loved being trapped,
It’s because I loved being alone,
In my own little world…

Let it rain all night long,
Let raindrops keep falling from the night sky,
I would stay in this little corner,
With my own little thoughts,
With my own little friends;
A little pencil,
And a shred of a little notepad…

Distorted Face

Sometimes when you see a face,
It is distorted and not anatomically right,
But it is still a face that you know,
Or a face you don’t really know anymore.

People say I am what I am,
But probably he is only speculating,
Or hoping or believing,
Just to please his own aching heart.

The world is not anatomically right,
It is distorted with vengeance on its face;

And freedom is distorted like a face in a painting…

The Vanishing Soul

Misty eyes,
Blurring your double visions,
Sadness and gloominess;
Scratching your tortured soul.

Dreams are far away;
Almost untouchable,
Yet you stand there,
Watching the merry world,
Laughing like hyenas.

What are you?
I am a bubble; beautiful but flimsy,
You would say.

Who are you?
I am a rainbow; pretty but unreal,
I would vanish when the vapors disappear;
You would say.

And why?
Because I am – you would say.

Time flies like a falling leaf,
The soul sings a sad song,
But it never says goodbye,
It does not know how.

Perhaps I know;
Not much, but I know.

I know that if I turn away,
I would never look back ever again.

The blue ocean would swallow me,
The setting sun would consume me,
And dusk would come,
The magic hour would leave,
And I shall be in the shadows of the night.

Forever; dark and mysterious…

See You Again

See you in the morning,
When you wake up from your dream;

See you in the twilight,
When the sun is falling,
When the day is quitting,
When the sky is burning;

See you on the night,
When the moon is full,
When the clouds are drifting,
When the stars are twinkling,
When the owl is hooting;

See you in the spring,
When the flowers bloom;

See you next time,
If I’m still around…
