The Spaceman

When I was young grownups would always tell me that I’m meant to be king,
of course when you were a kid you’d literally think they know everything,
but now I’m older,
I realize the world is colder than warm,
the curse they passed on their words
brought me nothing but losses and harm

I aimed higher, i brought them everything a good son could give
I toiled, studied, and followed orders like its my last day to live
now its a shame
look what I turned and became, a dreamer
the dude who wont settle down
wont be that king with a crown
he’s just a dreamer
its sad because i know what I lost
somewhere love got left behind between them bridges i crossed

Now I’m a spaceman soaring towards the sun
I’m letting go of my graviton velcro shoes
perhaps i need someone to hold me down
hold me down before I”m gone

Now I’m drifting off course blinded by the glare from the sun
the blinking lights on the panel means that my oxygen’s gone
now here I am
floating on space higher than anyone i know
my dreams propelled me up here
and now its killing me slowly

Being alone makes you realize how much on life you have missed
things you endured and ignored, things you crossed out of the list
those supernovas,
those kisses shared between you and her
the warmth that no star can give
will make your world spin and blur

but then again I’m really scared to try and wish it all back
for i know what i am which also means I know what i lack
i lack gravity
the moment i jump straight back to the sparks
i’ll simply drift off away
so i’m better off with the sharks

But it cant be helped i guess I’m really born to be what I am
born to be moving to be floating to be lost and be damned
I’m scared of love
the thought that I’d be falling back down
all this “falling in love” business
makes me want to move town

Perhaps one day my path will lead me floating straight back to earth
after I’m tired pursuing dreams and i hope to god it’ll be worth it
but love wont wait
There’s no love for those who traveled off far
I hope i’ll burn on my re-entry
as a bright falling star

See I’m a spaceman shooting straight to the sun
and I’m zipping and spinning out of control
perhaps i need someone to hold me down
hold me down before I’m gone again

Losing that something more

I keep my heart and mind in open
just in case something happens
we’ll never, never really know
we’ll never know where the wind would blow

I keep my eyes and lips tight shut
for i have learned to trust my gut
all these senses and mock pretenses
caused nothing but to build us fences

there’s more to life than what we want
there’s more to life than what we need
there’s something else like space and love
there’s something more than what we have

so try to keep an open heart
and try to keep an open mind
close your eyes, let darkness blind
until you see that all that binds us

is nothing but our love for dreaming
something that we all are losing…

Yin and Yang

She fears the ocean’s deep unknown
he loves the midnight sky
She hates the night, he dreams of space
these things they cant deny

He craves for dim sum everyday
she’s sick of eating those
She’s always prompt, he’s always late
yet still they make things glow

These elements they spin so fast
two colors deep entwined
Two shades of different hues and thoughts
far minds, yet so aligned

She’s courtly, cultured, elegant
He’s reckless like a boy
His words are laced with eloquence
Her tactless words destroy

Two elements they spin so fast
two people deep entwined
Two destinies colliding for
a dream, both deaf and blind

Wake the wonders

This world is filled with poetry
swirling movements made of art
this world that boxes lazy dreams
deep inside our sleeping hearts

we’re meant to fly, yes you and me
but where to point? where to go?
which star to fly? which moon to land?
who to bring? with whom to grow?

questions…questions we failed to ask
our little selves when we were young
back then we knew the universe
its secrets written on our tongues

This world is filled with poetry
swirling movements made of art
let us unbox our lazy dreams
and wake the wonders in our hearts

Last night I had a dream

I was Solid Snake

…it was awesome.

Still

the look
on her face
still it haunts me
still it burns

life goes on
so to speak

the breath
as she spoke
all the lovin
all the hurting

still, life goes on
so to speak

i dont know why
it hurts the most when you’re the one who walks away
and i’ll never know the feeling
of what it would be like to be the one to stay

the steps
that i take
reaching out
to wherever

life will go on
so to speak

the choice
of which road
to which dream
all this seeking

our life will go on
or so to speak

I’ll never know why
it burns you the most when you’re the one who walks away
i’ll never understand the concept of sinning
or the pain when someone walks away and you’re left to stay

still, life will go on
so to speak.
