Through Tainted Glass


Through tainted glass
She looks at a lonely world
through complex eyes
She sees what is not real

Hear those words, have not been said
tear those clothes, have not been worn
fear those roads, have not been walked
but don't She know that She is wrong

There's a thud on the door
just as the doorbell rings
a Man is standing there
sitting down and looking up

The Man speaks in silent words
and says nothing whilst being heard
And as She listen to the weary music
She loses Her mind and loosen Her thoughts

a Boy walks through the kitchen door
slightly limping, crawling on His knees
His hands in His pockets, clutching His wrists
"Mama, I have cut myself!"

All is a dusty mist
All is a clear fog
nothing is an illusion
everything is just not real

You're at the crossroads of time
She says to me
with only one way to go
on the road to the gallows

We are all going to die
He says to me
while living forever
buried six feet high

And a bearded man hang Himself
and loses His way home
He wanders through Her house
looking for everything not there

She hears a crow's meow at dawn
while the rain shine through the sun
and the clock striking midnight
while the trees blows through the wind

The Boy still stands there
laying on the cold gray grass
with bloody hands clutching Himself
"Mama, I have lost myself!"

All is a clear mist
All is a dusty fog
everything is an illusion
nothing is never not real

You've lost yourself this time
She says to me
with nobody looking for me
on the road back home

We are all going to live
He says to me
while killing each other
flying six feet deep

No Fault of Your Own


Yeaterday spent on tomorrow
always feeling so low
if you don't know which way to go
follow the winds that blow

or crawl back to whence you came
out here, there's no fame
just a broken down piano
and a slowly singing soprano

What's that you're searching for?
something you never saw?
go far away from here
until you're truly clear

born, through no fault of your own
just thrown into the perfect storm
swim through until you drown
until you're truly down

there's no one you can really tame
without disappointment and shame
so never let your feelings show
and on your way out close the door

this is where we leave you
you do what you have to do
there's no end ever to be seen
what's left is what you have been

You

You are nothing
Meaningless being
You are a ever changing bundle of experience
No such thing as resilience
The manifestation of raw emotions
For all intentions and purposes, an illusion
You are the words you said, or didn't
The things you did, or didn't
You are the thoughts you thought
Not the money you bought

You are a sunbeam at sunrise
A bird singing lullabies
You are the words on the wall
A tree lonely at fall

You are me
Longing to be
I am you
Wanting to do
Upon each other we fold
We are the world
The Earth beneath us
The stars beyond us
We are the universe
You are the universe

Stranger

Everybody seems strange
When you ain't quite at home
Everything seems to change
When you're lost out all alone

Nothing is what it seems
While you are away from home
Nothing is real, just all dreams
While away, lost all alone

When are you coming back home
When are you leaving this world
There's a call for you on the phone
And all it's saying is the same words
  Won't you come back home


Anything is everything if nothing
Where you don't feel like home
Anyplace will be lost to the fringe
Where you're out all alone

When are you going back home
When are you leaving this place
There's a call for you on the phone
And all you see is the same face
  Won't you please go back home

Misplaced

Misplaced in Time
Lost in this void
He swim across the cosmos
Displeased by the crime
Committed against him
Contemplating all his loss

He don't belong here
Lost in Time
Don't you hear
This is your crime

Displaced in Space
On his own
He float across the Verse
Misled by this place
Confused by all this
Lodged in this intersperse

He don't belong here
In this space
Don't you hear
From your high place

Don't earn a dime
Them he avoid
Crescent, Star and Cross
Or anything of prime
While sitting at the brim
Under the sharp claws

He don't belong here
Oh Thy sublime
Don't you hear
This is your crime

Regarded disgrace
To the bone
And all things' worse
Outside the race
Denied of all the bliss
Because of his curse

He don't belong here
Oh mighty grace
Don't you hear
From your high place

Them

Listening to the world go by; people die people cry
Red eyed Mad eyed Wide eyed Sheep like
I see their twitching fingers upon sighing lips
concealing, displeasing, disturbing
They drive, they run, they walk
they crawl looking for the ultimate fix
Full of wine, full of whine
They stroll down the streets of vanity
where the undead roam
and the blood of the suicides
and the sweat of the whores
and the spit of the politicians
flow like the breath of the Unholy
War drums beat and beat and beat
beat to the beating hearts
beat to the bleeding hearts;
Bleed to the last drop
I hear the horrible cries across the sleeping city
calling to save them
From drugs and despair and tragic love
From soulless and homeless men
From unminding unthinking war-fighting
killing murdering soul-ripping monsters
I hear their blindfolded fears
Raging wars within their disquieted minds
hear their heinous crimes
laughing and weeping in climactic pleasure
longing for death after life
Screams of ecstasy, overheard above the rips of the skins
Billions of starry eyes upon a tearless cry
I feel their apathy underneath layers of cold metal
underneath oil and stone, and money and funny paper
under concrete and steel, and cement and rubber
under plastic and fabric, and sheets of clothes
Where they hide, under blankets and pillows
Where they lie, upon rose beds and under oath
I feel them raving and ranting and roaring
singing love songs and lullabies
while dancing to electrical appliances
and dancing to oil driven machines
Writing love letters to shadows
crying upon moving pictures
I smell their blindfolded fears
burning fires fueled with cold ice
smell their oil driven hearts and
machines riding the streets and
their dirty laundry upon endless puppet strings
and their ink on meaningless paper and
spray paint on the building walls
I smell their cigarettes and coffees and colognes
smell their blood upon their own hands
I see their closet doors creaking
deeps eyes gazing through
Bricks and stones and pebbles and words
thrown around the room till midnight
see them sleeping through nightmares
and dreaming through reality
I see them shouting behind closed doors and drawn curtains
see them conforming, comforting, condoning, conceding
and see them destroying, disposing, distorting, denying
all that is true

Not So Great

My atrocious poetry
with your monstrous writings
We are quite artsy
Don't care what the world thinks

I am no good at rhyming
You can't properly narrate
But we won't go hiding
or join the big masquerade

You and me we are the same
and we both plagiarize
We don't want the fame
We just wanna live a life

Go sailing

Lets go steal a boat
just you and me
and go sailing
we've got a world to see

We haven't been to the Caribbean
to Sydney or to Rome
so lets go to lands far away
leave our shells and roam

Lets sail the Norwegian Sea
and row through River Nile
fly a hot air balloon
or just walk a few miles

Have you seen The Forbidden City
Taj Mahal, or the Grand Canyon?
so lets go travel the world
with me, as my companion

We'll put on different clothes
we'll put a smile on our face
and we'll go meet new people
we'll explore a whole new place

Lets go steal a boat

cold blue

The streets were empty. The full moon lit the sky in an eerie way. The streets were lit by the street lamps. It was a cold night. The breeze brings the salty smell of the sea. The sounds of the waves washing up on the sands of the beach filled the silence. Everything was asleep, every door locked.
The breeze blows inland from the sea. Cold. As it brushes across my face, I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand. The leaves on the trees rustle as the breeze blow past them. The breeze that came from the sea departs as it leaves everything on its path awake. Waking them to the night’s serenade. A song by the waves and the trees; the little insects hiding in the cracks. My own footsteps. I listen to them. A symphony.
I was out long past midnight. Walking the empty streets. I walked them with no destination in mind. I had no place to go, no place to be. I walked them on my own. Alone.
Footsteps. I rarely run into anyone at this hour. The footsteps grew closer approaching me from around the corner. And quite suddenly I was face to face with another man.
The man was wearing all black. His hair long and unkempt.
He looked straight into my eyes. I couldn’t help staring into his. His cold blue eyes.
He was a handsome man. Possibly in his late twenties. His face was pale and his eyes looked tired. His cold blue eyes.
There was something about them. Empty and deep. They seems to penetrate into my skin. Straight into my soul.
I started to feel colder. He kept looking into my eyes. And I into his. His cold blue eyes.
He showed no emotion. Except maybe calmness. As if there was not a worry in the world.
The cold breeze blew again. Yet neither of us moved.
I couldn’t help but ask.
‘Who are you?’
‘Death!’
He stood there for a few more seconds and then walked away.

Epitaph

Cometh my dear
join me in death
there shan't be fear
for I, thou shalt haveth

by the road

the morning has broke
with the sun waking
while I stood there
by the road standing

a man walks down
with a limp in his left foot
he walks through town
limping all the way

the traffic has broke
with the cars wheeling
while I stood there
by the road standing

a woman rushes by
with a worry on her face
like she was about to cry
while she rushed past me

the day has begun
with all Men waking
while I was there
by the road sitting

a child run past me
with a dog behind him
happy as happy can be
they run all around town

the noon has arrived
with the torrid sun shining
while I was there
by the road sitting

a couple walks through
hand in hand
their love looking true
they walk all the way

the evening has come
with a wind blowing
I am still there
by the road lying

a girl trots past me
with a smile upon her face
and I could see
that she was lying

the night has arrived
with a storm brewing
and so I leave
the road I was lying

Breaking Reality

They say that I have gone crazy
Hook me up to a machine and see
Look really nicely and closely
And they think I am empty

But I am gonna break this reality
Spread my wings and break free
Life belongs to me, I myself and me
All they can do is wait and see

I need to feel real liberty
Go to a place unworldly
Break all free and flee
Cos this is not my cup of tea

Had enough of this cruelty
I have heard their story
It's a lie told by them overly
That's just the way they will be

So let's break this reality
And sense some true liberty
Kick in the ass of cruelty
And live along happily

The Tree

A tree standing alone in a field
I know, its a story that's been told before
For a thousand people has seen this tree
Told its story a hundred times more

Alone it stood with glory and pride
Bathing in the sun, breathing in the wind
Yes alone it stood, no reason to hide
Shading the travelers stopping by to rest

I went on a very long walk one day
Saw the tree and stopped by to unwind
Sat on the grass beneath the shading leaves
For I was tired and wanted to rest my mind

The field looking out to a far away train station
Out in the open, by the tree I sat
Longing to reach my very own destination
But too tired, I laid down on the grass

Drifted into a dream world I did
But not alone, for the tree came with me
With music that came from the dark side of the moon
To a place where everyone long to be

The tree danced all around bewildered I
The branches, the trunk, the roots; the whole tree
Lots of little and lovely butterflies flying high
A dream so vivid I could remember today

And through the dance the tree started to change
The branches faded into lovely flowing hair
The trunk into a body so difficult to describe
My eyes stared at the face that was oh so fair

A strange beauty stood before my eyes
Forced me to start to think for myself
Could this be really some kind of lies
For isn't this just a dream I am dreaming

And then I heard the bells ringing
Wondered if they were up on the hill
Till I saw the birds in the sky winging
I haven't seen them till there was her

Quite suddenly she stopped dancing
Walked up to me in a walk to remember
She took my hand and held it tight
And all I ever wanted to do was hold her

And if she's beside me, I know I need never care
For all the world was long gone
Me and her, the only thing that was ever there
Both knew that this is our home

Sing a song

Wont you sing us a song
of a thousand words
so we could sing along
all the nonsense verse

sing us a song
of rhythm and rhyme
sing us a song
doo-da doo-dime

wont you sing us a song
play your groovy guitar
cant you sing us a song
of verses so bizarre

sing us a song
a one to dance to
sing us a song
you who you whoo

sing a song so long
for 'em and me and you
you cant go wrong
we'll sing along too

sing, we'll sing a song
dance to the melody
sing, we'll all sing a song
Li da did-dy

Home!

The universe is not perfect. It's a violent place out there. Unimaginable terrors lurk in inexplicable corners. And this piece of rock is just a safe haven for only a little while. Until the yellow sun becomes a red giant. Scorching the surface or maybe even this whole terrain. Or swallow the whole rock. Are we to survive to witness such an astronomical event?

Asteroids have impacted Earth. Comets are flying by. Some too close for comfort. Get a little bit closer and it could mean a mass extinction.

And us? We are just sitting on a little bit of cosmic waste. This is just a third rock from a star in the outer edge of a small galaxy. And there are billions of galaxies out there with trillions of stars. Yet it is still mostly an empty universe. Are we alone? Is everything else just waste?

This is our home. Born of chaos in the cosmos. Our time here hasn't been that long. Yet we have manage to bring drastic changes to every aspect of life here. We are the late arrivers and yet we have claimed this earth ours. We have scarred this terrain in many ways. We share this haven with a billion more other species. We depend on them. And yet we have disrupted this very delicate system. Faster than anyone or anything could adapt. We are pushing as far as we could. Until all odds turn against us. Why do we wait till the last second to act? Our nature? If it is, can't we change it? After all it is 'our' nature.

I stand here and look at the state of the world. All the little good left lost in all the haze and confusion. Life becoming faster and faster. A few ever stop to wonder. And most would go on thinking there is nothing they can do. Doing nothing rarely solves anything. Do they not see a problem to solve? Do they not see a world worthy to save?

After all there is no place like home.

The wind and me

I talked to the wind one day
I asked her to take me away
and she came by the other day
round and 'round we went, all the way

She took me on a journey
and showed me all there is to see
saw all the beauty and the misery
and all she said was 'let it be'

So I flew with her all the way
we went everywhere we may
saw all seasons in one day
I did not knew what to say

She whispered to me a story
of times better than the ones seen by me
of times never heard by thee
the clouds dropped a tear, and it rained slowly

All the world stood by that day
I heard them look up and say
why do the sky cry all day
but they cannot see how the world is today

We flew through flawlessly
letting go of all things worldly
she taught me to be care free
and in all this world there was her and me

Vendetta

I'm a thorn in your back
A sore pain in your neck
And you can't fight back
I'm going to break your neck

I'll make you quake with fear
All you can do is drop a tear
Unto you I'll turn your fear
Because all I do is rip and tear

I'm society's well made mess
What was asked, nothing less
An incarnation of your own mess
I'll deliver what is deserved, no less

I'll make you clean up all this
I'll tell you what all this is
Beneath the rumble and all this
Buried and unknown, the truth is

Beer cloud

I look up to the sky
Oh! How I wish I could fly
Through the endless stew
Towards you, only you

Magnetars and pulsars
And frigging quasars
Magnetic and gravitational field
But I shall never yield

To bath in your core
I know I will want more
It is you I crave
If only all was as brave

Call with your haunting voice
And you leave me no choice
For nothing will stop me
With solar flares I'll set sail free

All those black holes
With their dark black souls
And the darkest of their con
But I will surely go on

To swim through you
It is all I want to do
It is you who I want
For it is my dreams you haunt

Gamma blasts and radioactive rays
Unlike any other I may face
Cosmic wonders and nebulae
Of all colors blue and blae

Clusters of stars so luminous
Brighter than Sirius
Distract me from my quest
It is the universe' own jest

To drown in your bliss
Hoping I could give you a kiss
It is you whom I wish
My pursuit I wish to accomplish


Oh beer cloud in space
You are in my every place
In this massive cosmic maze
You are killing me in many ways

The Pain

I sat in the car. My Heart thumping fast. Pumping as much blood as it could. For I was consuming a lot of oxygen. Every single cell in my body was respiring abnormally fast. As I was exhausting all the energy in me.
I feel the vein in the left side of my face. I could feel the blood rush through it, as fast as it could. Left side of my face was throbbing. There was a ringing in my ear.
I put my hand on the dashboard and push it as hard as I could. The driver keeps stealing glances. It was understandable; after all I was acting a little bit weird.
I look at the pedestrians outside. Some smiling. Some looked stolid. Some hurrying by. Oblivious to there surrounding. They walk as if nothing was wrong.
How wrong could they have been? Yes; there was something wrong.
My left ear was aching.

Life\Web


Life is like a web. A spider web; if you may. There is no 'my life, your life'. There is life and there is us. We are all connected. Through this web. And we go on clinging to the silky threads. We feel the vibrations of others' movement, while they crawl their own path. But we won't always take the path we want. We get sidetracked, we get lost. Yet we thrive and we move on. Towards the end. The goal, the dream, the ambition. Or we just move without any of these. But we may never get there. For some of us get stuck. Get trapped to the sticky glue. Someone else may rescue them. Or not. Some are left to struggle. Some escape, some don't. Those who don't get eaten by the spider. They become prey to the deathly predator patrolling the web. And that is life. It is but a spider web. Nothing more, nothing less.
