Let us not bite the moon
Let us see it into a full fledged lamp
If not for the season at least
Consider your corridors at night
And the balconies when the gloom fall
Let us not also arch the stars down
Consider the little children playing
And the pondering flowers by the bay
Let us leave the skies as lofty as it hung.

Illusion
Like a soaring bird at its first perch
Illusions adorn our hearts from tender eon
That we will forever be young
That our tangy nails will never go stung
Like our fertile hair can never go greyed
That our peppy joints won't loosen in wane
No matter how we hit the rocks
No matter how many brawl nights we see
Little did we know about the fading moon
Little did we notice about the dimming sun
We kept our penchant sights on the stars
B'coz the blinks often kept us flattered
Like there's no place like here
Like there's no youth like mine
Regrettably, so little have we done
To love life as healthy as we should have
So little have we couraged to admit our aging
So little have we done to prepare for death
That draws close in mastery
Of timing of the mythical pulse
Sadly, illusion adorn human heart
From birth to grave!

My Bed
I moved my bed a little bit above the moon
So there can be no more mosquitobitting and moonpeepings
Here is very sacred and quiet
Only chromes of cosmic stars
And some loudly melodies of heavens

Apologies to the grains
Apologies to the grains
Please forgive my appetite
I'm such a maize lover like farm squarels
But I ceded in my stifling jaws
That had one pretty grain stuck within its cleft

A Banquet New-dawn
A lovely sermon
Upon purple flowers
In a coral aquarium
Petting a sleeping child
From a million dreams
Healing the brooding hearts
It looks nothing like noon
But a banquet newdawn !

I have a string
have a string
I could ping and pong
I have a string
I could make a soft poem
I have a string
I could make a simple song
I have a string
I could twitch an easy dance
If life was a plinth of love song
With this string of love guitar
Then we are bound forever
To dance in valor till eternity!

The gloom Flourished
The gloom flourish through the forlorn night
The little stars coddling the moon with might
A small light prosper from the east and glow
Awoken the cherry flowers into frost dawn
It's Monday morning
You can't keep snoring
Step out of your room
And grab some mushrooms
Or lay still and embrace the doom
