Choose the hard
Better be envied than be pitied.
Better to face than to escape.
Better to confess than to refute.
Better to burst than to sulk.
Better to intend than to pretend.
Better to lose than to cheat.
Better be upright than be great.
Better to flirt than to kill spirit.
Then you are less assailed.

Some, we ignored to see.
Some, we cursed having seen.
Some, we remember having seen.
Some, we desire to see again.
Some, we lose interest to see later..

Shade is septum less.
Can you draw a line between
Self confidence and over confidence,
Cowardice and patience,
Laziness and idleness,
Religion and superstition,
Aggression and assertion,
Love and lust,
Diplomacy and cheat,
And so on?

Because They Are No Good
Give me something that I can believe.
Give me something that I can believe.
Instead of nothing you just want to leave...
With me,
As a fantasy.
Give me something that I can believe.
Give me something that I can believe.
Instead of nothing you just want to leave...
With me,
As a fantasy.
You and me are now at risk,
Of losing all our happiness.
Since you seem to be convinced...
By someone,
To just leave me.
Give me,
Something that I can believe.
Give me,
Something that I can believe.
Instead of nothing you just want to leave...
With me,
As a fantasy.
You have found somebody new.
And you're doing your best to prove,
You don't care what it is I feel.
You don't care what I feel is real.
Give me something that I can believe.
Give me something that I can believe.
Instead of nothing you just want to leave...
With me,
As a fantasy.
You and me are now at risk,
Of losing all our happiness.
Since you seem to be convinced...
By someone,
To just leave me.
Someone who deceives me.
Someone who wants you pitied.
'Cause what we have is envied!
And you can't see we're envied!
Give me,
Something that I can believe.
Give me,
Something that I can believe.
Instead of nothing you just want to leave...
With me,
As a fantasy.
Someone who deceives me.
Someone who wants you pitied.
'Cause what we have is envied!
Believe it.
Perceive it.
They want to see us split up and leave.
Give me something that I can believe.
Give me something that I can believe.
Instead of nothing you just want to leave...
With me,
As a fantasy.
Someone who deceives me.
Someone who wants you pitied.
'Cause what we have is envied!
Believe it.
Perceive it.
They want to see us split up and leave...
Because they are,
No good.

Bravery defined
What is bravery?
To hunt a tiger,
To win a battle,
To kill an enemy
Or to face a danger?
The bravery is
To confess the truth,
To repent for the sin,
To accept the ignorance
And to reap punishment.
The bravery is
To win within
And not to win without.

Flirt
FLIRT (with me)
You lost your self respect
You gave it all away
for no good reason
what were you thinking
Flirt with me
If you want me to
I'll do it for you
When you got that
smile on your face
that look in yourt eye
So look into these eyes
and tell me what you see
do you see affection
the way it should be
come on
Flirt with me
If you want me to
I'll do it for you
When you got that
smile on your face
that look in your eye
you want everything
I am the first you will ever have
I am your lover
I'm your God
When I get close to you
When you got that
smile on your face
that look in your eye
you want everything

Plain Sermons
I saw a man--and envied him beside--
Because of this world's goods he had great store;
But even as I envied him, he died,
And left me envious of him no more.
I saw another man--and envied still--
Because he was content with frugal lot;
But as I envied him, the rich man's will
Bequeathed him all, and envy I forgot.
Yet still another man I saw, and he
I envied for a calm and tranquil mind
That nothing fretted in the least degree--
Until, alas! I found that he was blind.
What vanity is envy! for I find
I have been rich in dross of thought, and poor
In that I was a fool, and lastly blind
For never having seen myself before!

Secrets about myself
Sometimes I wonder if all my dreams will come true
Because I am sure that this is possible
I am always surprised about life
Like a little child who every day rises
And I hope that God will have opened up his light
Before the evil can hit my dreams.
I am counting upon my thoughts as I am thinking of you
Certainly I am prepared to die at any time
And really ready to live
And I expect nothing in life but the Truth.
I intend to open myself up to the world,
To breathe, and to win
I know indeed everything what I intend to do,
But stronger than all my afterthoughts is my fury,
Fury that brings upon the greatest love.
I pretend that everything is wonderful.
And I pretend that
I'm not crying when tears are bleeding down my face.
And I prefer the absurdity of writing poems.
I am who I am
And nothing can change me.

How much better a thing it is to be envied than to be pitied.
Havoc of beauty.
He had many friends.
They offered him help.
They showered him with gifts.
His wife knows it is for her face.
He will understand it lately.

Breasts are sex feeding
Raspberries or blackberries,
I like them on woman’s chest.
Obtrusive or submissive,
They never escape my eyes.
However buried they are in clothes,
I am able to scan,
How shapely they must be.
No need that my hands reach them.
My eyes are cute to catch them.

Love is not professional
Be professional in play,
Work and on stage,
But leave it when in love.
Otherwise, it will mar
The very spirit of souls..
Love is a natural flow.

To wane the guilt.
Better, stab on one’s back
Than cheat a faithful one.
Better, kill one while asleep
Than exploit the bereaved.
Anger, show to the strong.
Mercy, show to the weak.
Then the guilt is not built.

Flashs Confession
Ive just had a dream that I never will forget,
And I wish I could erase.
I was standing on the street with a whole crowd of people
And no one knew my name.
And I was just another face
No one looked at me or touched me
Spoke to or acknowledged me.
I had no identity or individuality
No thoughts of my own, no mind or personality.
I was just a no one, a total nonentity
Im just a number waiting to be called.
It is time for confessing it all,
Im just another face,
Yes, its time for confessing it all.
Been a cheat, been a crook,
Never gave I always took.
Crushed people to acquire
Anything that I desired.
Been deceitful and a liar
Now Im facing hell fire.
I cant believe that my time has come
For confessing all the evil
And the wrong that Ive done.
The reckonings come
And now Im just a no one.
I confess to the timid and the meek
To the cripples and the beggars
And the tramps in the street.
I confess my cruelty, my ego and conceit,
Ive opened up my body and looked inside
And Im everything that I once despised.
I confess for the thieves,
The affected and deranged,
I confess for the muggers and incurably insane,
I confess to the ugly for being vain,
I confess to those I hurt for causing them pain.
Im just a number
Waiting to be called
And its time for confessing it all,
And Im just another face,
And it is time for confessing it all,
Yes, its time for confessing it all,
Yes, its time for confessing it all.

ACT: Love
Guy: One, put the mask on
Two, set up the charm
Three, pick the one
I’m searching for a girl
That I could have fun
I don’t intend to fall
Because love is a silly thing
You will act like a fool
And lose control
Girl: One, wear the gown
Two, wave the smile
Three, trap the one
I’m searching for a guy
That I could get fund
I don’t intend to feel
Because love is mischief thing
No matter what your plan
It will destroy all
Guy: I have a pride I should stand for
Girl: Don’t fail and make it crumble
Guy: In front of me I see the danger
Girl: It’s too late escape from fire
Guy: One, say the name
Two, give no damn
Three, start the game
I found a girl
That I can’t understand
I don’t intend to care
But love is anonymous
Though you avoid anything
You stuck with unexpected person
Girl: One, close the frame
Two, blame the lame
Three, spark the flame
I found a guy
That I can’t turn down
I don’t intend to be known
But love is pathetic
I say I don’t want you
You show me I’m liar
Guy: I’m used to be lonely
Girl: But now I can not bear anymore
Guy: The comforting warmth is alluring me
Girl: But do I dare to reach the hand
Guy: One, stop to doubt
Two, hold her tight
Three, catch her heart
I keep a girl
That I can’t leave behind
I don’t intend to give up
And love is crazy wheeler
When you thought it’ll stay
It swings to the other side
Girl: One, face the fear
Two, cross the line
Three, beat his heart
I need a guy
That I could trust in arms
I don’t intend to regret
And love is rebellious bird
Even hope could break you
You still run into that storm

No fence to a mind
There are guards everywhere,
At home, in the yard, thoroughfare,
Working place, host’s premises,
To be against corporal adultery.
Not guardable is the adultery by mind.
To be virtuous in body
And to be libidinous in spirit
Is nothing but hypocritical.

If You Intend
[ merchant ]
If you intend to live again,
Then open your eyes and dont pretend youre feeling theres nothing worth believing.
God, if you persist youll die like this,
And wither in the midst of your first season,
Cut down with no reason.
How can you be so near and not see everything?
If you intend to live again,
Then take the outstreched hand of the one that needs you.
Its been so long, weve missed you.
Why do you intend to speed your end?
Lie in the dark and let your limbs grow weaker, sinking low then deeper.
How can you be so near and not see everything?
Feel what might be. see what I see.
Again and again and again and again say you dont.
You say you dont, but you will.
How can you be so near and not see?
