Goodbye Daddy

Why did you go away,
I thought you said that you would stay.

Why did you want to leave?
Didn't you say that you once loved me?

I doubt you meant what you said before,
Because i saw you walking out that door.

I know you weren't ever coming back,
Because the night before, i saw you pack.

That night big brother had held my hand,
And told me to go to my dreamland.

But once in bed, I heard mommy cry,
Then I counted the hours that were passing by.

I couldn't sleep and got up early,
Big brother was awake too because he was worried.

Thats when we saw you for the very last time,
Tip-toeing out the door, as if you were a thief in the night.

"Goodbye Daddy," I at last said,
"Don't come back. To me, you're dead."

He just stood there, unable to speak,
But he himself had severed our family link.

Then big brother nudged then shoved me away,
He kept smiling at me the entire day.

"THATS my little sister! Tough as nails!"
But after he said that, I cried buckets and pails...

The Exam


Its the end of the year and the exams have come,
The papers that show us who's dumber than dumb.

2 hours of thinking: What the hell should I write?!
With 30 minutes left, your mind starts to take flight.

Pin drop silence and nap time to spare,
You surrender your pencil with the thought : Who cares?!

You lay down your head, then close your eyes,
When you wake up, only 5 minutes have gone by.

With the remaining time, you reopen your paper,
And screw whats left and hope that you still wouldn't care, later.

You look around and you see people knocked out for good,
Sleep so soundly on a table made of cheap nasty wood.

When the teacher starts collecting, all hell breaks loose,
People start discussing while you're busy tying a noose.

Day after day, this happens again,
Stretching on for a month and wondering when will it end?!!!

The Masquerade

Shall we dance our lives away, upon the moonlit floor?
Swept along by falling feathers and abandoned masks,
This beseeching music that cradles thine ears, do you not adore?
Within this world of dazzling color we shall dance,
Never ending, ever twirling, ever wanting more,
With each sweep of silken linen, beautiful designs do collide,
That hide scowls from smiles, truth from lies and ladies from whores,
Come let us enjoy this fragile world with its perfumed clouds,
And roses of every color, its choir of carefree laughter,
Ladies and lords, peasants and scullery maids, all hidden under,
Lace and ribbons, beads and feathers galore,
For that delicate time, there was no discrimination of classes at all,
But when the masks fall off, its off again to war,
Gone were the velvet curtains, the dresses, the gloves,
Away was the music and delectable food,
Women and men alike break their hearts for their forbidden loves,
As they could not see them anymore.

The Construction Of A New World

The ground trembled and then shook,
Then gave way down below,
And through it fell the evils of the world,
As prophesied long ago.

The seas rose up, fast and strong,
To claim the ever stretching beach,
And cleansed the world of its sins,
And all the things they leeched.

The winds were brutal yet gentle still,
When typhoons and cyclones raged on,
To blow away the sorrows of today,
Stacked up nicely and beautifully tiered.

The heavens rained down fire and rock,
Vanquishing the evils ones from this world,
So tyranny and dictatorship shall become but dreams,
For goodness and love to unfurl.

The mountains with their mighty groans,
Heaved its load of piled up snow,
To cascade down its steep steep sides,
And away the mean people shall go.

The deserts with their sands of time,
Devour and demolish,
Getting rid of what remains,
Of foulness and its rubbish.

Francois

Fracois, my love, my deep desire,
Hasn't your bloodstained heart healed yet?
It echoes to me such deep betrayal,
As i see your handsome face teared and wet.

Its been so long since i've seen such sorrow,
A delicate flower uprooted from its soil,
Was your love yanked from the bowels of your heart,
After years and years of loving toil.

Fracois, my love, my deep desire,
I know its hard but listen well,
Forgive, forget and move on in life,
Otherwise its hardship and bitterness that i foretell.

Though, I you cannot see, its you that i can see clearly.
There is no heaven without your smile,
So i can't leave you just yet, love,
So please forgive me if i stay for awhile,
I'll ask the angels to wait for me, above.

Fracois, my love, my deep desire,
Is it too much to forget me?
To love again in the name of love,
And to live the rest of your life, happily.

It was my mistake to trust such fools,
Twas I that brought your sorrow,
My life was nothing compared to yours,
So i paid the price of my tomorrow.

Fracois, my love, my deep desire,
Smile for me and my fellow lost souls,
For i swear, when we meet again,
I'll make it up to you, a hundred fold.

I'll protect you now as I did then,
Though I can't in a certain way,
But please don't cry, not anymore,
I can't wipe those tears that have gone astray...

Immortality

What would immortality mean to you?
Living forever in a dying world?Doing things you wouldn't have time for?Or watching all of life's tragedies unfurl?

What would life mean to you,If everything was said and done,Watching loved ones fall like flies,While counting your thousandth setting sun?

What would eternity mean to you,If you were left alone?Punishment or blessing could this be called?In loneliness would you forever moan.

Wishing for a death that never came,Wishing for the end of a wish came true,Sorrow after sorrow, you witness in time,Hardening your heart to ice so blue.

Continue to standby and watch,As mortals destroy themselves,And reminisce that once upon a time,That you were one of them.

One that was able to feel,The pain, the anger, the sorrow,The happiness, the love, the trust,But you now must reap what you have sowed.
