Ah! See: so we are the same colour within
See: cut up, my heart is not black
Your heart not white; your heart is not yellow, mine is not brown
Incredible! Our hearts pump the same red blood
...
Plant your tomorrow
Today
So that you don't harvest
A bumper zero
...
I love the way you stretch my veins
Like string of immortal lyre serenading
And elongate them the height of the sky
I love the way your smile caused rainfall
...
Drop By Drop
Drop by drop
The pool brims
Step by step
Great distance is made
One, two, three, four
The counting rises
Even to millions
Tick tick tock
A minute runs
To an eternity
Drop by drop
Leap by leap
Every great thing
Has its genesis
In bits and commonplace
A great anthill
Was once
A speck of dust
A voluminous text
Began with a letter
Drop by drop
The maestro
Calling the shots
Was once
A microscope of semen
Every landmark
Has its beginning
In triviality
Drop by drop
Step by step
Tick tick tock
Life takes
Its eternal course
