A offer to differ

We offer condolences
Without knowing the impact of death
We offer the advices
Without knowing what is wrath

We only feel
Try to steal
Not knowing what to do
It is exactly true

To know the sweetness
You must test bitterness
To know the truth
One must know the untruth

To know the test of wine
Under intoxication one should feel fine
To smell the flavor
One must know the flower

It is to be felt
Some fields need no tests
Poison may remain always poison
You should no go after it to find the reason

Air may not be seen but surely felt
Magic is seen and experienced but never spelled
To know the heaven one should not think even
Hell is always hell and need not be proven

Part of the All

Why do I feel blessed,
And offer my condolences?
Well...
You can only relate to that
Which expresses
The experiences 'within' your exposed understanding...
Of a world you've been taught is centered around you!
And 'that' I have understood most of my life.
Me?
It took me a while to realize,
I was raised knowing
I am part of the all!
Leaving me free,
With the ability and comfort of knowing...
It is easier for me,
Just to be able to relate!
And that has been a whole lot less stressful.
I am not concerned about comparisons...
Or divisions.

In praise of ignorance

write in praise of ignorance – that is,
that state which we so easily mis-name;
which would be better known by that old term,
‘un-knowing’ – free of guilt or sin in one
who knows the truth and, knowingly, denies..

un-knowing should be celebrated; as
some youthful minor god in painted scenes:
adolescent in the goddess Wisdom’s
splendid train; gazing up at her,
clear-browed; wide-eyed; attention at the leash;

not-knowing – like a runner on the blocks,
contained; elastic spring of energy;
yet fingertips so delicately placed
on starting-line; there’s elegance to see
in our unknowing’s race to reach the truth;

unknowing: which spurs every scientist
so to observe; infer; compare; and test;
evolve hypothesis; and test again;
then offer to the world as reason’s law
of Nature’s finer detail, which may yield
a harvest of some golden benefit;

admitting one’s unknowing is the key:
(does this seem far too simple to be said?)
Poised between two beauties, Innocence,
and Wisdom, see Unknowing’s beauty too;

then in that beauty, all the universe
shines bright and fresh and new, to be enjoyed;
none other than myself; who knows no claim
but witnesses all that may be revealed..

Love in sale

I just wanted to go in
Deep and to be inhaled
But you thought
I am the air full of poison

When I wanted to exchange
The feel of fragrance
And the taste of smell
You thought
I am the flower, stale

I inhaled deep the whole bottle
Full of that poison air
Tasted the flavour of rejection
Exchanged the smell with that of cliff stones
Suddenly I see princes and merchants
Surround your flower in the seller market
Though I need that to offer to the alter of goddess
But for her still I can not purchase it
As She made me the real poor of the street

Now Ive Seen It All

Ive watched an acorn turn into an oak tree
And Ive felt the passion of a whippoorwills call
And Ive seen a flower bloom in the desert
But a woman so true loving me like you do
Now Ive seen it all
Ive seen the faces they chiseled in mountains
Marveled in wonder at stars when they fall
And Ive watched the sunset slip into the ocean
But a woman so true loving me like you do
Now Ive seen it all
I feel so unworthy of all that you give me
I could die happy just knowing I am your man
Im so undeserving,i just stand here in awe
That a woman so true loves me like you do
Now Ive seen it all
I feel so unworthy of all that you give me
I could die happy just knowing I am your man
cause you find perfection where others see flaws
And a woman so true loving me like you do
Now I seen it all

Poison! Poison!

Poison I breathe, poison I eat,
And poison poison I do drink,
Poison are my thoughts, poison are my acts,
Poison are my sleeps, poison are my dreams,
My blood is poison, poison is my flesh,
And poison poison are my bones.

Wherever I move
I envenom my fellow beings,
And enlarge my kingdom,
This is how my life goes on,
Living in the world: all poison poison.

The pain comes from knowing that we have never been safe, and therefore will never be safe again. It comes from knowing we can never be so ignorant again. It comes from knowing we can never be children again. Losing innocence. Remembering heaven. That was the essence of hell.

Traffic Jam: The Trap Of Traffic Light

It's not only test your luck, but also test your patience
It's not only test your guts, but also test your instinct
It's not only test your sanity, but also test your obedience to law
It's not only test your ethics, but also test your fidelity
It's not only test your sight, but also test your reflex
It's not only test your estimation of time, but also test your street knowledge
It's not only test your ego, but also test your kindness
It's not only test your control, but also test your awareness
It's not only test your attitude, but also test your responsibility
It's not only test your priority, but also test your humanity

How Can You Sleep?

How can you sleep, knowing that the one who Really do Loves you Feels Bad He Let You Go?

How can you sleep, knowing that the one who Really Loves you cant sleep at night?

How can you sleep, knowing that the one who Really do Loves you cant Eat Because you are no longer there?

How Can you sleep, knowing that all he wants to do is hear your voice every night before he goes to sleep?

How can you sleep, knowing that everyday all he do is long for your touch and the warmth of your Lips?

How can you sleep, knowing that your on his mind everyday, Minute, Hour, Second?

How can you sleep, knowing your his one and only, even when your not together?

How can you sleep, telling him truth about him but not being true to yourself?

How can you sleep, not telling him what you know you want him to know?

How can you sleep, knowing he put his trust in you and you let him down?

How can you know so much yet so little?

How Would You Sleep Knowing That One Day Soon Will Be The Last Day You Ever See Him Again Knowing He Did You So Good And Yet One Day You Let Him Down?

Make Me Believe

Throw away my dreams
This fight for my life isnt getting behind me
And Ive been told to scream
Where no one can hear me, it doesnt mean nothing
So make me believe
Just take me away from this hell Ive created
And Im afraid
Im breaking my own vows knowing Ill go down in flames
I know this cant be right
Theres got to be something more that I can live for
And I can only hide
Inside of this sickness for so long again
So make me believe
Just take me away from this hell Ive created
And Im afraid
Im breaking my own vows knowing Ill go down
Make me believe
Just take me away from temptation thats calling me
And Im afraid
Im breaking my own vows knowing Ill go down in flames
Running in circles
Confusion is calling my name
Hiding inside of this poisoning madness again
Im tired, Im broken
Im walking along with the dead
Will I ever feel like I once did?
So make me...
Make me believe
Just take me away from this hell Ive created
And Im afraid
Im breaking my own vows knowing Ill go down
Make me believe
Make me believe
Make me believe
Im breaking my own vows, knowing Ill go down in flames

Purity

Life of my life, I shall ever try to keep my body pure, knowing
that thy living touch is upon all my limbs.

I shall ever try to keep all untruths out from my thoughts, knowing
that thou art that truth which has kindled the light of reason in my mind.

I shall ever try to drive all evils away from my heart and keep my
love in flower, knowing that thou hast thy seat in the inmost shrine of my heart.

And it shall be my endeavour to reveal thee in my actions, knowing it
is thy power gives me strength to act.

I Need A Man

When Im feelin lonely,
Someone telephone me,
Its gettin hard to pass my time.
Take me outa dieing,
Watch me while Im flyin,
Baby, its a waste of time.
I need a man, perhaps a man like you,
I need a man, to make my dreams come true.
Say that you will find him,
Creeping up behind him,
Moving round the town all day.
Well, Im underestimated,
Highly underated,
Can there be another way?
I need a man, perhaps a man like you,
I need a man, and I need a man.
And then I wont be feelin lonely,
Knowing Im the only one.
Hell understand,
Oh, what Im feelin deep inside me,
Knowing that at last hes gone.
Oh well,
Gettin tired of lookin,
Wastin all my cookin,
Ending in a dreadful row.
Can somebody tell me,
Say to me, or sell me,
Why Im feelin lonely, oh.
I need a man, perhaps a man like you,
I need a man to make my dreams,
And I need a man.
And at night I wont be lonely,
Knowing Im the only one.
Hell understand,
Oh, what Im feelin deep inside me,
Knowing that at last hes gone.
Its maybe that Im dreaming,
Cant say they Ive seen him,
Somehow, I just got to find.
Someone outstanding,
Goes without [? ],
[? ]
I need a man like you, to make my dreams come true,
Perhaps that man is you!

No to Dirty Game

It is some sort of dirty game
Humanity is not to be blamed
Black sheep are everywhere
Still we have to find ways and stay somewhere

Mind may bog you down
Think of snatching somebody’s property to own
Build castle on ill gotten money
Offer poison in return of honey

These are some of glaring examples
We silently eat lavish food with apples
Fruits may not appeal and long for still more
Let it flood all over but expect down pour

Truth may prevail at the end but the evil may prolong
It has short life and not last long
Yet some of the finest things fall on deaf ears
We go on wasting precious years

Who cares for new find and heaven?
Why to bother for it now and then?
Throw the stones at glass door
Snatch whatever you can from the poor

This is order of the day and just a routine
All the trades and dealings are clandestine
Night starts with rich food and wine
Lots of verities on table to dine

If you spare a little time
You may not go in for it sometimes
It is blood soaked wealth
You can’t remain happy with good health

Nothing accompanies when you really depart
Even though it was dear to you and remained your part
You amassed it with fine oratory and art
Knowing fully well that it is futile and useless start
