The Stones

there is a spaceship in my head
packed with a suitcase in my brain
the decor seem nice
tiled with milk bottles at the corridor
anytime should you visit
there's a spare room in my left membrane
the last time there was company
it disappear because of my goldfish memory
sometime it's never quite what it seem
like random forms of cloud contorting make believe

Special needs

Waiting drives me crazy
It feels like a million maybes
In the company of random thoughts
Counting daydreams
And collecting things in a pot
Each morning, is my optimistic start
When the sun invades my window pane
I sit up and continue my art
Patience has been the order of the game
Waiting for the means to come out to play

Leaving for nowhere

Packed all my cares away
I'm leaving for nowhere
And my intention is not to stay
back at the same place I once started
Sometime it feels like I am only visiting
Yet at times it feel like I never left
The time are a changing
Nevermind the empty pockets
For the best things in life are free
All in a days work my old friend
Let's see how this life plays out at the end

You're mine Good feeling

Is this a sign of good things to come
Clear blue skies
The smell of blueberry pancakes in the morning
The promise of happy days
Watch me as I shade my skin
toss my Mondays
And change my point of view
To walk the extra mile that will make you proud

i keep you to myself
like a secret i will never tell
never mind the noise outside the hall
just focus on the promise i've written on the bedroom floor
confidence in you
builds confidence in me
nobody needs to know
this is where we meet

Pay to Play

each sip takes you to a different plateau
you knock down a few more and you feel invincible
lubricated at the joints
your smile gets wider
everyone in the room don't matter
your conversations with the neighbor gets louder
this good feeling stays for awhile
suddenly you are on cloud nine
when you are surrounded by cheers
then it will hit you like a pocket rocket
the thumbing beat seems muffled
the lights starts to blur
your march goes off sync
your eyes fail you and you start to blink
the rumble in the jungle start in your tummy
you feel like your body is gonna get unlucky
and then you close your eyes
& all is forgotten
till the next morning
where the bad taste in your mouth comes alive

Natural Born Beauty

beauty dishes a life of misery
attracting all kinds of flies with negative chemistry
tainted as an icon of desire and aristocracy
we often omit the sad tales of a natural born beauty
the next time you come across someone beautiful
notice if beauty is a momentary asset
or just a self-destructive tool?

the era of the cynical man

if time were to be kind
the truth of my sleepless night will soon come to life
and if patience taught me well
good things come to those who wait and time will only tell
maybe it's the company around me that i keep
that creates a vacuum of questions that are incomplete
just like a friend that still feels like a stranger in the end
i can't help but wonder
do we live in the era of the cynical man

Sleepless Tiger Grumpy Dragon

does your voice communicate who you are
does your color make you some kind of a superstar
does your wit give you character
does your character make you go far
does your accent make others sit up and listen
does your body feels like something is missing
does your time understand it's purpose
does your mind wander if it's useless

in twilight hours, that's all i've left
at rest, my jogging mind tries to analyze this mess

3 Aug 2009

if the walls could speak

all my walls come alive at night
delivering little tales that speaks about their tenants inside
the wall on the right is on the phone
whispering sweet nothings to his lover
while conversing in a high pitch tone
the wall on the left creeps a scent of a 1000 cigarettes
while the one below smell like they have been frying omelette
the cheeky one lives above
moving furniture in rhythmic patterns
they really gets on my nerve

Sunday

Staring at yesterday, today & tomorrow all in the same room
makes the day feel like we are all rotating in the same womb
taking one nap after the other seem to be the order of the day
waiting for night to come so that the summer heat will pass away

each meal time indicates that the day has progressed
while i occupy myself with something that doesn't involve any finesse
at moments like this i wish i learn to live again
at moments like this you could never find a friend

So you sit around
and watch the wheel of commotion
spin tales of entertaining emotions
from an idiot box called the television

hours and hours of couching
patronizing this ideal of passing time should be a sin
dim the lights down low
get ready to close your mind
because the day is over
so give yourself to the night

Lies Are Forever

failure to trust
ignites the crazy in all of us
engineered to disappoint
is what builds a void
that paralyses logic
turning white magic into black tragic

maybe we were put here to fail
to hurt one another till we turn blue and pale
or maybe we're just not at all reliable
because the rules of this game is made impossible

Couch Master

couch all day
and sleep deprived
switch on the record player
unwind the memories that survived

gripping on to familiarity
as i toss and turn
while an image of me in the welfare line
becomes everyone's concern

casually
my brain becomes the casualty
transmitting synapses of negativity
to every part of my body

the better animal in me
just wants to get by
but my exterior self
wants modern days comforts by his side

a common irony in everybody
where your ideals never meet your reality

The end, Started This Conversation

The end, starts with 
answering a question with another question
all the answers are unspoken
decoded by physical instinct & mannerism

each movement gestures a suggestion
while the rhetorical questions sets the stage of engagement

like a dance, each step plays out your intention
creating a pattern of emotional sensation

which gravitates to a decision
at the beginning when you started this conversation

The Show Must Go On

it's plain to see 
sometimes, my whispering androids
of paranoia gets the best of me

driving myself to know my myojos from my maggies
while convincing the sullen critic inside of me
that somethings are better off if you just let it be

take away the porcelain bubble of society
loosen those great expectations done for the movies

tighten your hustle
and always be ready for life's tussles

so come tomorrow
i'll be selling my memories
at noon outside the pharmacy
for just shillings & pennies

by sun down
i'll be a clean slate
ready to take charge of time
and to whatever life articulates

Delivering Happy Endings

A lesson learnt
when the dust settles
goodness stand valiant
from the carnage of evil

the curtains fall to the ground
taking stock of yet the end of an era
leaving us with the notion
of a potion of everlasting happy endings

Is that a practical vernacular
or just Hollywood's fabrication of a feel good factor
for this world never seems to run out of tragic stories
each time you hear the words I am sorry...

Another one bites the dust
cries the rat in a cage
serving downers for breakfast
suddenly made sense in a day

Or at least, this is what I think
happy ending are made of these days

Numb

i am the great pretender
that knows no pain
don't need no belongings
and don't play no games

spinning myself dizzy
setting my captives free 
undressing my inhibitions
stripped from this misery

dancing by myself
feeling all fidgety
the midnight din in my head
is causing a denial 
and serving hypocrisy

through the night
through the great divide
through space and time
there i lied 

numb with nothing inside

We Believe

time made me realize
that there is always a reason for seasons
it may seem harsh that nothing matters
even to a point that rain pours onto your shoulder 
at wits end is where clarity works best
what works and what doesn't
often reveals itself naturally at times like that
In some form of  silent understanding
you materialize the reason
juggling logic over emotions
one of life's best sessions

Calling Occupants...

like the shades of grey
that makes up the shadows of what some might say
is the source of pure isolation

without any interaction
one just builds an ideology of acceptance
base on logical and experimentation

the days become weeks
the habits turn to routines
soon there is no need to belong
 
what was once hope
turned into willfulness

what was once constant
became irrelevant

disregarding the world that belong
reconfiguring the comforts your were once fond of

sentimentalism ruled over sensations
the surroundings soon grew moulds of sameness
that create a mundane taste in the mouth

never mind the logic
for there is none to quantify
the remedy is acceptance
that requires some form of patience

Happiness in possessions

peer into the magic ball
tell the good folks what do you see
a singular happy ending
like Hollywood's fabrications of what's meant to be

build your hopes till it touches the evening sky
create the biggest materialistic beast of our time
fall in love with your own possessions
compare it with your neighbor and see who's got a bigger obsession

there is a happiness sale down the street
we should get a few of those because their usually quite CHEAP.

I'm on a plain...

the day is plain
no chores
no sense of time
counting the hours
bored out of my mind

the day is still
no rush
no drive at all
just the glare of the beating sun
that tires my eyes

there's nothing out there
for the day says goodbye
like monotony in patterns
there is no point to these rhymes

2AM eternal

the noise of worries drowns my sleep
at 2am in the morning
from the minute i turn off the lights 
to the time I shut my eyes

uneasy with the fact that you are somewhere out there
paranoid that you are in another country & it's dark & late
and i'm not there

I am no longer that watch tower
yet I still feel the attachment
that binds & twines endless knots

that time somehow forgot...

an aged old weaponry

jealousy weighs a tone
an aged old weaponry
more destructive than guns

designed to cause disillusion
devouring your soul
starting from your emotions

inch by inch it strips you apart
until dusk tabs you on the shoulder
to participate in the long awaited march

31 Mar 2009

Benefits With Friends

stranger than fiction
more precious than gold
an age old tale of platonic friendship
lost beyond control

leaving a stale after taste
made up of yesterday chemistry
one by one they crumble
resulting in messy fumbles

Meanwhile in the real world
let me enjoy my twisted world of 
disappointments and momentary 
trivia of giving and living

29 Mar 2009

Is it true

where do drifters go
i wonder if they ever know
that dreaming has no limits

if you take rumors and 
turn them into lullabies
would you then be able to 
see through my eyes

your words just left me in the crowd
standing with a manic sensation
while you cried eyes of bourbon

can harmony be restored
in the spaces between 
your gates and my front door

somewhat plain to see
a simple decision not up to me

What Use To Be

collecting memories
just seem like a chore
having company
can sometime turn into a bore
optimism is my happy days
keeping busy makes the darkness go away

yet i see through everyone perfect smile
you are no star to guide me anyway
while this densely lit tune still plays in my head
each melody turns us into strangers like in those 
conversations we once made

i am still here
crossing styles and still 
walking this extra rainbow miles

but i don't plan to stay
as when the darkness blinds my shadow
I'll be on my way

Design for Smiles

i saw it with my own eye
the best creation called life
made up of an adorable smiles
and a cuddle that feels warm for miles
an eight week old wonder
that lights up your day the minute you see her
this creation is the perfect invention
that I've so far experienced
