Proverbs

As a child, mama would say to me son,
The sky is not the limit and the sun does not burn.
Whatever you want you could get under the fiery sun.


Mama would say;
Education is the key to the living the world embraces.
Lead with your head and not with your heart.
Love you should embrace and hate you put aside.

Son,
Acquire wealth,
But don't you ever forget health.
The things you do today,
Becomes history in the later days.

Son,
I know you're smart and brave
But be careful of mantis and snakes.
They'll push you hard and hope that you break.
Be ready for them son,
So that when they drag you, you don't shake.


And Hey son!
The clock is ticking and the end is near
Do all you should do today,
Listen to me with all your ears.
Hear my words this day son,
Live so that you don't pray to be dead.

The way she looks


I could go the whole day
Without losing the taste
Of your delicious smell and body shapes.

I could start to worship the way
You look when you're in white colour
And a simple blue of navy brigade.

I will write and save this day
When you looked at me this way
And gave me white that has no stain.

A reminder

I have not written in a while
So I think I should drop this for you.

A reminder of who we really are
In this chaotic dream.

Where we fight to build
what is true and we see green.

To achieve love for one another
In the Brotherhood that we seek.

Demon

Putting the pieces back to life
I stumbled on another piece of lie.
While drawing the pictures for you,
I witnessed another demon just in sight.

A queen or a demon?
You gave me memories that torments.
To wonder if you're still human,
Is the shame I have to live by.

To change you might not be easy;
Since you're the demon I help created.
I want it to stop so badly
And I'll pierce my heart if ever needed.
💔

Night 🌒


When the whole world is silent
And the moon shines in its darkness,
Emptiness fills the sky
And emotions in the heart.

The clouds starts to collide
And the stars align,
Making way for new dreams
And renewed hopes.

The breeze breathe peace
And certainty for comfort.
The rebuild is complete
And a new circle has just begun.

Hideout

I'm hungry but you keep giving me water
Don't you know,
It can only quench my thirst?
It can never satiate my hunger!

I need shelter but you give me clothes
Don't you know,
It can only cover my nakedness?
It can never keep me from cold!

So I need love but you became close
Don't you know,
It can only give me comfort?
It can never give me warmth.

Hideout

I'm still hungry because you gave me water
Don't you know
Water quenches thirst
It can never satiate hunger?

Though I needed shelter, you gave me clothes
Don't you know
Clothes can only cover nakedness,
It can never keep me from cold?

I need love but you became close
Don't you know
Closeness only gives comfort,
It can never give me warmth?
