Behind The NothingnessBehind The Nothingness

I used to play here everyday
Alone and with no light
Behind an ashen, big board
People calls as a piano

My fingers were dancing
With the old, cranky piano keys
And rhyming with all the chords and melodies I know
All the black and white
Became one amidst shadow

Behind the nothingness, I played wild
Raging and fighting against the false melodies
Sounded as I pressed the wrong parts of the song
This ears can never hear well
But my failures rang inside them
Clearly

Behind the nothingness, my fingers kept playing
Without audience to sit before me
Without clapping hands to sound appreciation
Without a figur

Many Friends To ChideMany Friends To Chide

The sun fades every single sunset
And so my days always ended
Tragically

The evening wind breezes every single night
Across the ocean to the sandy shore
To where I stand every day
To where I spend the rest of my life
Alone
Although I have friends
But they never have me

How likely they are
Many friends to chide me when I do something wrong
Many friends to chide me when I fail them
Many friends to chide me when I'm down
I am not a perfect being
And so all of you
They recall my anguish
They recall my failures
They recall my badness
They recall my flaws

Many friends to leave me when I'm alone
Many frie

The Morning GardenThe Morning Garden

The sun rose against the darkness of night ; greeting a new day
Birds sang their morning song, high in the air
Along with angels to sound pleasant
A sonata began to play

The sun placed his banner upon the skies ; welcoming a new moment
Darkness was being replaced by the morning light
Although she wanted to witness the beauty of dawn
Which is gone since the yearful night ; and then returned to start over again

Finally the sun reigned upon his zenith ; the sun shone brightly
Yet he discovered a new oak tree by his sight ; it grows
Above the the hill to the edge of the skies
Higher and higher it gets ; and sweeter

Remember Us ( II )Remember Us ( II )

The sun was hiding somewhere else
Afraid of being hit and died on the battlefield
Only brief of its light remained
Not to make us blind
But to let us be seen by our enemies
Far ahead

The wind stopped breezing
The flag above has stopped waving
Stains of blood splattered to its white stripes
Either from our men of from our foes
We could never know

We were hiding inside a pit
Lower than the ground we used to stand on
Our helmets were tighten against our heads
Our rifles were prepared for the siege
Everyone was waiting for the moment
When the war began to commence

There was nothing to be heard
Than our own d

Hard To DreamHard To Dream

The day was over, here comes the night
Light gently disappears from the sky
Which turn black as hours pass
And going cold as midnight wind breezes
Presents the right moment for me
To close my eyes and then sleep
But I still cannot

The memories of my day haunt me
Sometimes they whisper ; but sometimes they scream
Next to my ear, next to my heart
I pray for the morning to come faster
And for the night to leave the world
Because I need to see even small light
To help me not to fall in my dreams
I don't want to close my eyes again
But I want to see a new dawn coming

What a Fair WorldWhat a Fair World

Today the sky is much darker than yesterday
Dark cloud shades every single corner of the street
Blocks every spot the sunlight can breach
But I am standing still
Hoping the rain to fall faster
To cover the tears which fall from my eyes
Then flow through my cheek
And drop to the ground

I plead
What a fair world
To ignore my rants and cries
Just like passing wind through a forest
I can never sound myself
Against its cruel, black heart alone

I plead
What a fair world
To forsake my presence
Like a crow hanging on the window
Then hushed to go away
By the owner of the house
By the owners of this world

I plead

The Will of LifeThe Will of Life

The dawn was breaking upon the sky
Forms of grey cloud turned into sepia
The darkness was leaving the world
As swallows soared and flew up high
Singing their songs of the morning
To greet a new day
Coming against the shadow of night

The sun was rising before its height
Awaking people from their sleep
While the morning wind blew my face
Softly it washed my doubt and exhaustion
After the long way to pursue my destination
By moving my leg along the rocky road

I was sweating and my lungs gasping for breath
As I climbed the steep hills
Reaching up to the meadow
To witness the dawn rising from below
Before anyone

Furs And ClawsFurs And Claws

Night has fallen over the world
Turning it into silence and echoes
Lamp lights create a soft light around the street
Shading every single corner
Where all the black cats law low
In the waiting for the sun
To disappear from the sky
Forever
So they can jump and roam
From verandahs to verandahs
Without ever being noticed by the people around
Softly the fall to the ground without any harm

They are the felines and shadows
They are the furs and claws
Beware or they will hurt you
With their overwhelming number

The light is fading
And the eyes are getting weak
Please take me home with you
Then I'll be fine tomorrow

The noises are cracking
And your sound is getting far away
Please stay with me and say that you love me
Then I'll hear none of my misery

The aromas are vile
And the scents are sickening
Please guide me to your flower garden
Then I'll be free to smell freedom

The rats shat on the dinner
And the food turns into poison
Please invite me to you feast
Then I'll rejoice to taste all I want

The skin is rotting
And the flesh will become ashes one day
Please sound your pray

I know the man who stand there ;
Someone who watch while we are playing
Someone who smiles to himself
And laugh when no one laughs
His eyes always meet our plays and games
People think he is crazy, although he is not
For so long I wonder what's wrong with his mind
Until he show it to me ; his childhood memory
Something he had forgotten a long time ago

A Warrior And His Sword

A warrior and his sword
Is like a maple leaf between its branch
Brown and wither as seasons change
Which falling down to the earth
When the time comes

A warrior and his sword
Is like a wolf among its pack
The most vicious and relentless
Which striking against its prey
Using its ashen, black and sharp claws

A warrior and his sword
Is like a torch with its fire
Lethal yet useful to men
Which harming with its fiery flame
Which giving warmth and emitting light
Against the cold and dark night

A warrior and his sword
Is like a bow with its arr

What is the meaning of life
When you know that you will be forgotten
Like a foot trail over the sandy shore
Which vanished as high tide washes
The memories it had passed alone

What is the meaning of love
When you know that your desire can never be satisfied
Like fiery flame burning against hay
There will be no end, even to say enough
Until everything turn into ashes
And nothing remain to be burnt

What is the meaning of a friend
When you know that someday you will be despised
Like withering leaves against the Autumn
Someday will fall and then throw

The Winter SonataThe Winter Sonata

Cherry was staring at the pale sky
Using her brown and small eyes
Snow was starting to fell
Piece by piece of ice touched the ground
Gathering into layers of glacial white

Her silvers furs felt cold and shivered
As the winter wind blew into them
Gently touched her skin with its chilly breath
Freezing her blood slowly
In her carmine veins

The weather became colder and colder
The wind was not soft anymore
But she persisted to remain there
Staying near the unclosed window
Rather than comforting before the heat of fire
Aglow far behind her visage

She gazed upon the field of snow
Longingly she restarted her memo

And finally comes down wide

Many years have passed since that day ;
The day we as children played
In a small field we were chasing each other
We shared the laughs and yearns for the entire day
Until we forgot about how long we have played
No matter how dark the golden sky was
After the sunset behind the mountain ;
To let the world sleep
And let every children to take a rest

My daydream seems to have no end ;
I put a big smile everytime I remember back
Because I know we have a story to retell
And help our children to feel the same happiness
Until the rest of our time

The World of Black and White
Written by michael.m
On Friday, April 6th 2012

I never know is it morning or dark
I never know is it a beauty or a failure
I never know which road I am treading on
I just know how to walk and walk
With all the rest of my power
And with my eyes closed

The wind blows my face gently
Brings me cold and chill to my ashen skin
Finally I find my own freedom
After so long I was a prisoner
Of my routines and boring days
But not anymore

The scent of flowers softly fills my lungs
With the aromas I never smell before
Sweet like the Scily Isles
But tender like roses
I believe there is a garden laid before me
But how far and how big
I never know

Lone grasses and dandelions gracefully touch my hand
Softly linger with my fingers
I can feel the softness of silk
And the comfort of cotton's fiber
I'm so happy
To find that my anguish and despair are gone

But then suddenly I stop
All the feelings disappear
Happiness
Relief
Freedom
All lost
I realize that my eyes are blind
And my heart cannot see the way forward

How can I know the world in front of me
While my eyes cannot see the reality
Then my steps are heavy and weary
I cannot decide
To move a single step forward

This is the world of black and white
Of life and of death
Of vision and of blindness
Of act and of waiting
I can only remain in place
Unless I can open my eyes once more
But when
I don't know

What do you feel when you're walking while your eyes are closed ? You can never know until you try.
"What do you see when you close your eyes? Is there a whole new world hidden behind your lids, or do you see the expanse of black that lies within your cornea?"
