THE LONELY ISLAND
The moon visits an island
To share its soft light sincerely
But the island fears
The moon will regret to find out
That the island has no beauty to show
The rain stops by an island
To share its cool water freely
But the island fears
The rain will regret to find out
That the island has no plants to grow
The sun cheers an island
To share its energy abundantly
But the island fears
The sun will regret to find out
That the island has no resources to pool
The island keeps its distance
Because its fears
It will disappoint the moon, the rain, and the sun
And so the island remain untouched
The island remains lonely

PROVOCATEUR
I’m the prince of darkness
I’m an invisble shadow
I’m too mean to forgive
Blood and tears are my entertainment
I bring about the most horrible nightmares
I create disasters
I spread deceit and fear
Hope and love are my enemies
Souls become my food
Weakness is my strength
Restlessness and pain are my cassock
Revenge is my only aim
Supported by the deepest anger
I ruin plans
I fill heart with fright
Devils are my followers
Hell is my middle name
Jealousy is my toy
There’s no peace and togetherness
In the world I’ve created
No one can escape
From the hatred that I’ve implanted

DEAR TENDER EYES
True to your words
That i am a romantic
Though I know
That romantics are fools
Still I persisted all those times
In loving a ghost
And that’s the real proof
Of how foolish a romantic can be
But now when things are settled
I feel so calm and peaceful
All feeling trapped within
Buried deep in months of grievousness
Were swept away by words of gentleness
Thank you for being so kind and understanding
I can see my way clearly now
And at the end of a long tunnel
There’s even a bright light waiting

A LETTER TO MY EGO
Dear ego...
You’ve controlled me for my entire days
But now I’m saying goodbye to you
Dear ego...
You’ve made me dance
Into the rhythm of selfishness and ignorance
But tonight, I have the ballroom all to my self
Dear ego...
You’ve thrown me into the river of madness
And hit me with falling rocks
But now, I’m flying over you
Listen to me ego...
I’m your master now
But you’re not my slave
Because i still need you to color my life
