Theme: Anger

Anger

I am anger, a beast in the cold,
I hide in the blood of your veins,
I lurk within your soul.

I am anger, a grudge that you hold,
The retribution of your enemies,
Should I be free to roam.

I am anger, a work of your own,
A relentless force of strength,
That you have never known.

I am anger, a beast of my own,
Should you need my fury,
Where to find me, you will know.

- Larry



Fury

Fury is swift,
It is an eagle that catches it prey,
While it wonders unaware of it's fate.

Fury is strong,
A force that knows no defense,
A form of chaotic damage.

Fury is madness,
Guided by zeal or foolishness,
Only to be found by regret or death.

- Larry



Painful, Silent Truth


Don't walk towards me, I am not well,
Don't talk to my soul, I am in pain.

Do not even think about trying,
For my beast is hungry for blood.
It thirst for a thrill of violence,
But I must not give it such pleasure.

Give me food for my thoughts,
That wisdom may feed my heart.
Let me drink water for my soul,
So that peace may abound and flow.

Don't walk towards me, but I will be well,
Don't talk to my soul, I will heal on my own.

- Larry

Existence

Non-existence is a blessing of no one,
It's enjoyment is the pleasure of none.
Like how the flesh a curse of one's being,
Is existence a burden to us unrelenting.

What joy is there in existence of man,
If all souls are to be given to death?
What pleasure can one learn from years,
If regrets in death fills us with fears?

Is this not why one prays for peace,
A reason for living this life on a lease?
If I know my creator and He knows me,
Will my soul live in perpetual harmony?

Maybe existence is a blessing, too,
One that is shared by more than two.
Maybe joy is meant for now and only,
So that all man do not feel so lonely.

That at least in death,
One remembers joy more than pain,
Happiness more than sorrow,
Life more than slumber.

Theme: Alone

Alone In A Quiet Place

Alone in a quiet place, no sound no shadows, only space.
Alone in a quiet place, with brushes and paint, no papers.
Alone in a quiet place, no words no music, only colors.
Alone in a quiet place, a man and a canvas, only art.

-  Larry Yap



Seeing Shadows

My shadow is my friend,
He never leaves me in the day,
And watches me as I sleep.

My shadow is my friend,
He waves at me as I wave,
And says what I say to him.

What lovely friend he is,
He is there for a broke heart,
And for every tear he consoles.

Oh, what friend indeed!
He remembers me all my days,
Shame, he leaves when I pass away.

- Larry Yap



A Fool

A fool for food finds satisfaction,
A fool for knowledge finds power,
A fool for wisdom finds joy,
A fool for love finds happiness.
A fool left alone finds peace.

What are you a fool of?
