A Tooth and a Half.A Tooth and a Half.
I remember being warned
When my first wisdom tooth grew
that life would be hard,
until all teeth fell off.
Now, I fight with all my strength,
Bite with every tooth I have
So that I can nail my dreams
On this wall of reality
Built by blocks of moments, hours and years.
Then they will be a real story,
so that even if I lose all teeth
I will have no doubt
that they bit all they could.
And all that will be left,
Will be a fallen wisdom tooth
And a half nail sticking out
Of the wall of time.

The Night Sky.
So still yet so alive,
Like sleeping bees in a hive.
Magnificently beating from one heart,
But still so far apart.
Singing to my eyes,
Like a giant sound system.
So loud and yet,
So quiet.
The darkness suddenly
made elegant,
Like a black silk
Dotted with extravagant diamonds.
Sheer beauty it is,
to every open and closed eye,
to live in denial of this
would be to live a lie.
Oh wonder!
Why are you gone by morning?
I'm always left lacking,
Till I'm saved by the evening.

Life of a Soldier
Fearless and unassuming,
marches on the soldier.
For before lead hardens,
first it has to solder.
Hard enough as he trains,
his mind is full of thoughts in trains.
Why are there wars?
Why are there disputes?
Why do men fight?
Why is there no end to this equation?
Why do we let lead lead our destiny?
Why?
So many questions,
yet unanswered.
The soldier has to fight,
unknowing of his plight,
His life a pawn on a chess board,
a mere drop in an endless ocean.
Gone but never forgotten,
lost, but a sacrifice given.
Betrayal of the cause of peace,
for a price so great.
In gratitude forever we are,
indebted we remain,
to these loyal and valiant heroes.

Moving up a hill
Of it I must make a thrill.
Tire may burn my heel
but I must not feel,
For even a heart can kill.

Henry emerged from the bushes, huffing and puffing, struggling to catch a breath. He stopped for a moment and glanced around. There he was at a roadside by a lazy road. He tried to look around, searching for a light that he could run to but this place was lit lazily too.
All he coud see was darkness. Thoughts ran around his exhausted and confused mind, and all he could think of was a nice shower and a cozy bed to lie on, but that would only happen if he could escape his current ordeal.
It was a cold chilly night, the kind that no one wishes to be outdoors, and the wind blew lightly. Henry could not notice any of all this, maybe because of all the running he had been forced to do, or from his leather jacket. Sweat trickled down his bruised face. In that sudden moment, the pain began to bite from all sides, he could feel it all now.
The adrenaline rush had protected him from all the agony he felt right then. There was no way they would ever find him, he had to run as far as he could. He started walking towards his left side on the road.
Itches were starting to register as the bruises on the face flared up. He wished to touch them but he couldn't, it would only make them worse. He had been walking for about a mile and a half when lights appeared behind him.
Free at last, he thought to himself. Here was a car that could take him far from this unforgiving place. Holding his thumb out, he had to stop, tired from all the walking.
The car seemed to have taken ages getting to where he stood, but it did, finally. Bright headlights blinded his sleepy eyes. He couldn't mind it. After all, he was free from his tormentors.
The car, a huge four wheel drive vehicle, stopped finally where Henry stood. He ran towards the driver's side, just one more thing and I'll out of here, he mumbled to himself. The tinted window lowered slowly, and Henry's eager face lit up instantly.
The eager face quickly turned to disbelief and shock. A long black pistol was held up to his head.
"You thought you could get away from me? You should know that I own you now." Jamie's cold deep voice went off. A sly grin formed on his scarred round face. Lips barely moving,
"Get back in the car!" he barked.

Tik tok.
Tik tok
Forward time goes
It matters not which town.
It has neither friends nor foes
Forward only, neither up nor down.
Tik tok
From young to old
All yearn for to one wish
That backward it move and hold
Only to flow with it like fish.
Tik tok
A tick here and there a second
Forever a history is written
Created with it a neverending bond
Moving but so well hidden.
Tik tok
Who is your master?
As for me you can never be enough
Though some may wish that you run faster
However life may be, you'll make me tough.
