The light of lights looks always on the motive, not the deed, the shadow of shadows on the deed alone.

Fell Deed

a fell deed this night,
in the silent dark,
a dagger flashes,
and blood flows.

a fell deed this night,
done in candlelight,
the knife does fall,
as the victim tumbles.

a fell deed this night,
only a slight,
to the killer,
who doth run.

a fell deed this night,
running he be,
through the slight light,
a corner he turns.

a fell deed this night,
a bang a shot,
a gun doth drop,
a killer killed.

a fell deed this night,
a new killer laughs,
an evil sound.
a fell deed this night.

Good Deeds

The right deed is a good deed,
Feathers are reclined on since birth.
One saying carries new meaning
For those who listen and create deeds.

A man’s heart implores goodness from the soul,
This is beautiful when his wishes are met.
The deed of the heart is a greater deed,
It is a highest deed, full of promise.

You are higher than this of course,
The cushions we sit on are relaxing
Due to your tallness and weight,
This is a secret of the soul.

Why A Deed Done To Do

A deed to do that has been done,
Is best left to be discovered...
Than to await to get approval,
By those who will debate...
Why a deed done to do,
With a doing...
To disapprove of the doer.
As the deed done goes undiscussed,
Not to be mentioned.

To the Shadows

Return to the shadows, return to the grave,
Mighty weathers of change are increasing on this Earth.
Risk a soft deed counting on the lucky ones,
They have menaces, they have callous men
All in Hell.
Have a spectrum of thought and abhorrence,
Actually, the mind of a thinker is sacred.
A soft deed acts, a hard one perpetuates,
So long as manliness teaches the shadows,
All too dark.

See off the worries

The deed on your accord may turn bad.
Curse not; the doing gave you pleasure.
The deed thrust on you may turn good.
Regret not the doing, the end in mind.
If the deed out of the will harmed
Ask pardon and repent till the end.
Then you will have beaten your worries.

The world, as transformed by this creative deed, is better than it would have been had all else remained the same, but had that deed of treason not been done at all.

Whithin Another Man's Shadow

Is not the same
To be in the Shadow,
Than to be the Shadow itself…
For you can move away from the Shadow
Towards the light
But, the shadows could not do
The same,
For it no longer will be the shadow…

Now it is painful and hard for me
To convince myself
That it is NOT what I thought
It could be…
Worse than anything else,
Is to share another man's shadow..
Why should I pay for another man's sins?
It wouldn't be right
And I don't deserve it..

Now I realize,
That everything was just a game
With the shadow and the light
And I caught in between…

Now, obviously, one path remains
For me to take:
The light anytime,
Then,
Definitely I will be
A free Man…
However, wondering
who my shadow
One day may be?
Since you are
Already somebody's else...

Peeping a window

Part 1

From inside you peep out
from outside you peep in;
to see the desired scene
keeping you unseen.

Part 2

Me and my friend were peeping
Through the same window
Having heartful bliss getting
a glimpse of her or her shadow

He did not know my deed
I did not know his deed
One day we got exposed
later window was closed

For him I gave up my desire
for me he sacrificed his longing
Our first seed of love was buried
before growing to seedling.

Now you know for MLady Ann Beard

Without a light no shadow can
display itself before your eyes.
Although the light be pale and wan
it can a shadow realise.

The shadows dance upon the wall.
When tapers flicker in the breeze.
They mean and do no harm at all.
But dowse the flame and shadows cease.

Fear not the dark without a light.
You only need to kindle flame,
then shadows dance for your delight.
The shadows to the light source came.

Beware the man with no shadow
and no reflection in the glass.
These are the signs by which you know
your worst nightmare has come to pass.

You have become a vampire’s prey.
You don’t believe such tales are true,
that vampires walk the earth today.
A single bite will convince you.

It is futile to judge a kind deed by its motives. Kindness can become its own motive. We are made kind by being kind.

Lights And Shadows

One night she cam, in from the cold
Like a long lost friend, someone to hold
She said, don't ask me now
Cause what's in a name
But when I'm gone you'll never be the same
So won't you hold me now
Can't you see what I came here for
Save me now, cause I now
We'll keep on headin' through
Lights and shadows
We're talkin' lights and shadows
She came from far, with so much to tell
Cause when you're lookin' for love
You can walk through hell
Just like a ricochet, she might come and go
And one look can say more than you'll ever know
So won't you hold me now...
Oh lights and shadows
We're talkin' lights and shadows
So won't you hold me now...
Oh lights and shadows...
We keep on headin' through
Lights and shadows

A White Architect Of Light

8.8.88: She came back from the land of democrative destiny and dissolved
into the chaotic void.
Fighting for the freedom of reality
Building the light house in the darkest hours of life
Fixing up the spiritual essence through the existential nothingness
in the valueless zone

Layers by layers, realities of life theatre are turned into distilled light
out of trapped reflections

Mother of modern Myanmar honoured by consciencious tree of life
Curving away all the unnecessary parts
Curving away all the necessary parts
Communication revolution of the 21 st century
Aung San Su Kyi, The White Architect Of Light
Light's shadow is light
Light's shadow is light
Light's shadow is light

Aung San Su Kyi, The White Architect Of Light
Light's shadow is light
Light's shadow is light
Light's shadow is light

The Thought Comes First

A thought comes before
the act we do.
If the thought is absent
the act will be through.

To presume to know
the outcome of fate
is to fool yourself
while you sit and wait.

And all the while
the deed you devise
can create your hell
if it is unwise.

So always think
before you proceed
or you may live to rue
the devious deed.

No baseness or cruelty of treason so deep or so tragic shall enter our human world, but that loyal love shall be able in due time to oppose to just that deed of treason its fitting deed of atonement.
