with all your lies you're still very lovable.

A Tribute
and when you think about losing a loved one,
everything else will be insignificant to the eyes.

Looking through the Dark
Some of my friends are depressed
Some of them turn to me
Sometimes for an advice
Sometimes just for an ear to listen
Some of my friends are depressed
Some of them just need encouragements
Sometimes they know how they feel
Sometimes they have no idea
Some of my friends are depressed
Some of them almost killed themselves
Sometimes they took me with them
Sometimes they only let me swimming the surface
Some of my friends are depressed
Some of them are okay now
Sometimes they move me forward
Sometimes they tell me that my life has a purpose
Some of my friends are depressed but that's okay
I have explored my darkest side because of them
And that is okay because now
I get to know myself better

Of The Boat and Bees
It was dark, far left to the shore
It was a boat that stays afloat
And it was bees that flees
Freely, fiercely
And then there was a sailorman
In his sailor-hood, coming out of the wood
With a grape in a basket, he is carrying a small casket
Lousy, drowsy
The bees flew closer to the sailorman
Beezy buzzy boozy bees
Surrounded the moaned, stranded, bearded sailorman
"Boar and bear, break my bone, boot my boat"
No matter how hard the bees buzzed
The sailorman would not care
"Boar and bear, break my bone, boot my boat"
He ate the grapes
The troubled, trudged, bearded sailorman climbed up his boat
"Boar and bear, break my bone, boot my boat"
And the bees stung his arm
But the bees can do him no harm
The sailorman put the casket up his boat
Started the boat, shouted out loud, sailed onwards
Little did he know, the casket was for him
Of the boat and bees who tried to notice him
But it was too late for the sailorman to be awake
He sails forever in the darkness
With the bees buzzed in his ears
And the boat that stays afloat in the clouds

No Kiddin
Who am I kiddin?
My brother rode a tricycle
My pa did the checks
My ma hatched the eggs
I was a rebel on my own term
Once I rode the coastal car
Down to the sea of Hatt's
Where my first love and I collide
And swore by the ocean to never leave each other
But that was eons ago
I grow up ever since
My pa doin the chickens
My ma still hatched the eggs
And my brother, goin out lots
With two slaves and a drunken pal
Not to find love but to find life
He'd be singin in bars
Swingin from one place to another
I do paperwork now
Clean businesses
I be working 'til night
I don't wear collars
It be lookin foolish and confusin
And I'd be failin a lot
To get to where I should be
Another love comin up
I have learned not to swear on anythin, anymore
So it flows on
I can only hope it flows to the sea
Who am I kiddin?
There are no surprises
Just changes
Slight changes
But the family stays
I know I was born to be somethin
I ain't gonna waste it on checks and eggs
I be makin my pa and ma proud
Maybe someday, I'll build a bar
So my brother could sing
So he could find a roof of his own
And pass it to anyone who needs a hand
Of becoming who they want to be
Without even havin to kid themselves
And by the time I done it
I'd be sayin,
"Well, bro,
no kiddin."

A Quick One While My Brain Is Actually Working
If people do not love what they are doing in their life, why don't they just do something else?
I know, those realists won't even bother to define what "love" is,
'Cause they would say, "There is no such thing as 'doing what you love,'"
Some might slap me in the face right after they read this.
Who am I kidding, right?
I can't just go about telling people what to do in their life.
But really,
Think about it,
Some people said, "we don't love our job!"
Or career path,
Or the discernible life direction that they are in right now.
And sometimes they blame the world for that.
It's not the world's fault, really,
If we are not satisfy with something, why not change it?
What's the point of holding on to something that eventually, won't do you much?
I always believe that it is not always selfish,
It is more of supporting ourselves,
Telling ourselves that there are choices that we can make.
Being able to create choices and choosing to do what we love,
Is more of a self-reward,
It somehow also motivates us to prove ourselves,
That we can always give the best,
On whatever things that we choose to do.
I like to believe that anyone can always made those choices,
Even when we are forced to do or have to, say, sacrifice
For something bigger than ourselves.
I believe that we are more than what we are obliged to do.
'Cause in the end, we only got one life to live.
If you're not gonna do you, then,
Who's gonna?

Beautiful Black Dressing Gown
What a beautiful black dressing gown
What a shame for a beauty that don't last
Once that pretty lips are open up
It fires sharp razor cut
Blood for those who would watch
Such a beautiful black dressing gown
Sometimes I'm scared of what these hands are capable of
When those dark eyes are lurking for
A feeling that has no word
A word that could not be said
I'm scared that these hands would speak
A language that withdraw peace
A mano a mano
With no mercy and daunt
For that beautiful black dressing gown
Until it's on its own at the dawn
