The bright rays of the sun
The breeze of a strong wind
The melodious chirping of birds
The lively laughter of children
...

As the leaves of memories fall
And swept away by a cool breeze
You will suddenly realize,
This kind of pain is intolerable
...

In the silence of a night
As the world drown into a deep slumber
A painful, unbearable cry was heard
From a young woman of softness, and
...

Hurried breakfast; hurried shower
Hurried ride; hurried walk
Hurried work; hurried snack
Hurried lunch; hurried rest
...

It was late
I was tired
Staring at the moon
Waiting for a shooting star
...

You came in from the meadows
At a time when everything was so light
Like a thief in a middle of a still night
Like sorrow amidst a celebration
...

Pull the trigger
But don't shoot me
Bite
But don't sip
...

Let my eyes see every detail
Of the darkness that will abound
And the cries of those who are abandoned
Disturb my eternal repose
...

Torn pages of sweet painful stories
Browsed by hands of addiction
And scanned by eyes with anticipation
Cut the metal sheet cover of the corpse
...

Pieces of a broken mask
Explodes like a brilliant mirror
That reflects the shadowy surface
Of a broken and messed statue
...

The leaves will keep on falling
And the sun will still set
No matter how hard we try
To fight the system of the broken
...

Feel the stab of the sparkling knife
That lightens the shadow of death
As you reminisces the memories
Of a bright and happy spirit
...

If the world will be lucky enough
To surpass all these trying times
Then who among those who are good
Deserves the key to the great kingdom
...

When darkness comes
To the land of hope
And cries of bitterness and pain are heard
The reality of a slow bitter death
...
