“Lee, Key, and Candy”
Because I’ve lost the Key
Mommy tells me to bring
So unfortunately
“Go look for it! Quickly!”
Mommy’s pissed, yelling
Because I’ve lost the Key
On a tree? In the sea?
I keep on wandering
So unfortunately
“Are you lost? Little Lee”
“Not me,” said I, crying
“Because I’ve lost the Key”
“On that tree? In that sea?”
A mister keeps asking
So unfortunately
“Come here, lil’ Lee; I’ll give you a Candy”
I follow him into his house, smiling
Because I’ve lost the Key
“So unfortunate… Lee”
Writing a villanelle is easy
One can write almost anything
Still, it requires creativity
Just put in words randomly
One can talk about anything
Writing a villanelle is easy
Alternating lines repeatedly
One could say it is boring
Still, it requires creativity
Nineteen lines, done mindlessly
One could say it is time-wasting
Writing a villanelle is easy
Just two rhymes, yes, really!
One could say it is conforming
Still, it requires creativity
Here’s an interesting story
You might hear some poet saying
Writing a villanelle is easy
Still, it requires creativity
Limitations? Possibilities? One art!
Clever…Lee
“Two Dazzling Rings”
So I gave you my everything
My soul, my youth, my love, entirely
When you gave me one dazzling ring
The moon in your eyes seemed promising
And it beamed bright just inside me
So I gave you my everything
Then waltz, jive, tango, we went dancing
Swung and swayed around in glee
When you gave me one dazzling ring
You used to be so gentle, so nice, so loving
And the moon in your eyes promised to always be
So I gave you my everything
Then the papers took away my wings
As the vows took away my liberty
When you gave me one dazzling ring
Now for freedom, my heart is crying
But I know the rings wouldn’t let me free
So I gave you my everything
When you gave me one dazzling ring
Ah no, the luck of getting one perfect dazzling ring.
“We Don’t Talk Anymore”
And there’s no more our talking
Since we talk nothing recently
So stop, stop all wishing, dreaming and waiting
You were on the ground, sitting
I walked into the hall, slowly
And there’s no more our talking
You asked me out for a movie watching
I was excited, accepted willingly
So stop, stop all wishing, dreaming and waiting
I asked you out for a movie, thrilling
You asked me out to buy things for your mommy
And there’s no more our talking
I decided to say straightforwardly, my feeling
You said you feel, sometimes, something, honestly
So stop, stop all wishing, dreaming and waiting
Just act normally like before, you were saying
I’ve tried but I couldn’t handle this easily
And there’s no more our talking
So stop, stop all wishing, dreaming and waiting
“(Do not) Love at First Sight”
Love at first sight torments us so much, can you see?
Because you can’t cope with, can’t handle anything
But, why do you still crave for that! Along with that glee!
You walk into the love’s realm, thinking to be “free”
Then know you’ve traipsed into uncertainty, crying!
Love at first sight torments us so much, can you see?
You’re now fleeing, promising you truly won’t be
Saddened of this contend’d decision, be chilling!
But, why do you still crave for that! Along with that glee!
You were told not to love at first sight; she or he
Will destructively pleasingly leave you hanging.
Love at first sight torments us so much, can you see?
Instruct’d and learn’d, you think you won’t fall into wee
Value of love at first sight, so no more trying.
But, why do you still crave for that! Along with that glee!
How hypocritical you are! You ruthlessly
Tell everyone and yourself, to be reminding
Love at first sight torments us so much, can you see?
But, why do you still crave for that! Along with that glee!
By Dearing 🙂
I hear you but I can’t see; love is blind!
What is love’s meaning?
Is it the happiness to care for someone so tenderly?
Or the pain that can make us heartbreaking?
What is love’s meaning?
Is it a romantic story?
Or a grievous tragedy so devastating?
What is love’s meaning?
Is it the key that sets us free?
Or the cage that locks us up with its menacing?
What is love’s meaning?
Is it that loud sound of heartbeat physically?
Or the peaceful silence of everything?
Is love really an ending?
Is it a happy ending of the story?
Or the new episode just beginning?
Is being in love like being among rose blooming?
With its red petal, beautiful but tricky
It can give us the joyous feeling
But can it send us to death? I’m doubting
You are being creative with the refrains?
Yes and No
Yes, executive order, I am issuing
To bar entrance to migrants and refugees.
No, it is against the constitution to do such a thing!
Migrants have been threatening
Our law and order, and our democracy.
Yes, executive order, I am issuing.
At airports, immigration officers are detaining
Foreigners and innocent citizens. You are crazy.
No, it is against the constitution to do such a thing!
To make this nation great again, I have been promising.
For prosperity and national security!
Yes, executive order, I am issuing.
Our ideal is to be the land for those “yearning
To breath free. ”
No, it is against the constitution to do such a thing!
Why not give executive order to stop bombing
Other lands; with peace, one needs not flee.
Yes, executive order, I am issuing.
No, it is against the constitution to do such a thing!
“Try This Art” Feb 7th 2017
ขอเวลาให้ฉันอีกหนึ่งปี
งานปฏิรูปนี้ขับเคลื่อนมิหยุดนิ่ง
บอกเธอเสมอเสมอนะเชื่อใจบ้างซี
วันเวลาหมุนไปไม่รอรี
ทุกชีวีใส่เกียร์ห้าออกท้าซิ่ง
ขอเวลาให้ฉันอีกหนึ่งปี
แม้มีวาจาว่าร้ายป้ายสี
กำลังใจยังดีสู้ไม่ทิ้ง
บอกเธอเสมอเสมอนะเชื่อใจบ้างซี
อุปสรรคมากมายมิหน่ายหนี
ชีวิตพลีเพื่อชาติด้วยสัตย์จริง
ขอเวลาให้ฉันอีกหนึ่งปี
ตามแผนงานการเลือกตั้งจะต้องมี
ไม่ต้องจี้ไม่ต้องเตือนไม่อ้อยอิ่ง
บอกเธอเสมอเสมอนะเชื่อใจบ้างซี
เสร็จสิ้นภารกิจคิดจรลี
นาฑีนี้อย่าเกรงกริ่งไม่ประวิง
ขอเวลาให้ฉันอีกหนึ่งปี
บอกเธอเสมอเสมอนะเชื่อใจบ้างซี
วางเถิดวาง ไปเบาๆ ไปดีๆ
น้อมใจสู่พระธรรมนำจิตนิ่ง
สุขแท้จริงอยู่ที่ความไม่มี
ยศถาบรรดาศักดิ์ สังขารนี้
ล้วนหนักหนาถ้าแบกหามไปทุกส่ิง
วางเถิดวาง ไปเบาๆ ไปดีๆ
โดนนินทา ประสบทุกข์ เสืื่อมศักดิ์ศรี
ใจจึงหมองเพราะใจไร้ที่พิง
สุขแท้จริงอยู่ที่ความไม่มี
รู้ใช่ไหม แล้วใยจึงติดมี
ทั้งแก้วแหวนสรรพสมบัติ โลภะสิง
วางเถิดวาง ไปเบาๆ ไปดีๆ
สระสนานกายจิตปลิดราคี
พ้นกิเลสที่ชักใจให้วนวิ่ง
สุขแท้จริงอยู่ที่ความไม่มี
ละเถิดละโลกธรรมคู่ทั้งสี่
สุขแท้จริงอยู่ที่เลิกฉกชิง
วางเถิดวาง ไปเบาๆ ไปดีๆ
สุขแท้จริงอยู่ที่ความไม่มี
Privacy Is Liberty
Run, Edward, Run, to be free you must flee
Fast, Edward, fast, the birds of prey are approaching
Run for your life and our liberty.
It is courageous to think less of your own safety
The Paul Revere of today sounds his warning
Run, Edward, Run, to be free you must flee
The bureaucrats in the name of national security
Heartless, faceless, after you they are searching
Run for your life and our liberty
We want to keep our rights to privacy
Thank you for the message you bring
Run, Edward, Run, to be free you must flee
Freedom fighters everywhere stand by to carry
You through quietly. They are helping.
Run for your life and our liberty.
The torch of freedom will cast a shadow on tyranny
To ideals and values of a great country we must cling
Run, Edward, Run, to be free you must flee
Run for your life and our liberty.
Come closer, I want to show you a thing.
I’m sure you’ll be more than happy.
Do not afraid, do not hesitate.
It looks alive, but cool as freezing.
Alive like sunshine, fresh like rainy.
Come closer, I want to show you a thing.
It is now sitting, but feel like running.
No cage can keep it steady.
Do not afraid, do not hesitate.
It is coming, as fast as it leaving.
It is fast like thunder, but if you take it easy;
Come closer, I want to show you a thing.
Hurry! It starts to get going.
Not many chances like this, assuredly.
Do not afraid, do not hesitate.
Now it’s time. Don’t blink or you’ll be missing.
Good girl, step out and grab it, firmly and calmly.
Come closer, I want to show you a thing.
Do not afraid, do not hesitate.
What big ears you have! What big eyes you have! What big teeth!
Do not take my wonderful thought seriously.
I would love to see people dating.
No! No! you cannot rely on this, sweetie!
Girls think her puppy love is rosy,
Like all the songs they love to sing.
Do not take my wonderful thought seriously.
My thought is that these girls are sickly,
Think the world is like romantic books she’s reading.
No! No! you cannot rely on this, sweetie!
This world is full of things unpleasantly,
Unlike the things they would take for living.
Do not take my wonderful thought seriously.
Don’t you come to live in the real world, baby!
The place where sadness and truth being.
No! No! you cannot rely on this, sweetie!
Well! you can be where you want to be..
You can believe in whatever you’re thinking.
Do not take my wonderful thought seriously.
No! No! you cannot rely on this, sweetie!
Colours
How many colours will make you see
That my heart is pouring
with love for thee!
As blue as the ocean, oh wild sea!
Forever will my love be gushing
How many colours will make you see
As bright as the yellow on a bee,
will I be beaming
with love for thee!
As pink as the flower on a tree
My heart will be blooming
Will all those colours make you see?
As white as a cloud, sitting there so purely
For when I’m with you, I’m flying
with love for thee!
As colourful as the rainbow, I am with glee.
Arching, swaying, yearning
How many colours will make you see
I am filled with love for thee!

Ever since he said ‘let it be’
All my hopes started shrinking
Yet I know it would set me free
I used to believe that our days were lovely
Never thought that the gloomy day was approaching
Ever since he said ‘let it be’
We are not the same as we used to be
Accentuated by the way he said ‘we were nothing’
I know, maybe, it would set me free
I feel like I gave him a key
To enter my soul and take away my wings
Ever since he said ‘let it be’
I opened our box silently
Looked at our memories and burned everything
I believe it would set me free
It feels like he’s cutting a part of me slowly
I can barely scream or speak but keep sinking
Ever since he said ‘let it be’
Yet I know it would set me free
I am traveling.
In a summer night under the sky so starry.
Far, far away I hope to know where I’m heading.
Took a night train to the place unknown, wondering what future will bring.
Even in the middle of nowhere I don’t feel worry.
I am traveling.
In my head trains of thoughts are arriving then departing.
So swiftly that I feel a bit dizzy.
Far, far away I hope to know where I’m heading.
I see sea of different faces; some sleeping, some laughing, some grieving.
There’s only one I recognize from my reverie.
I am traveling.
Clickety-clack, the train is rumbling
It will stop somewhere soon definitely.
Far, far away I hope to know where I’m heading.
Back in my mind there’s no way to escape from this loop, I’m dying.
That one face seems not fade eternally.
I am traveling.
Far, far away I hope to know where I’m heading.
Everyday of my life was so bright.
Woke up from a sleep dreaming,
Since the day I’ve met you, lovely.
Got some breeze and went out to see
her dress full of wonder, delighting.
Everyday of my life was so bright.
The perfume from the flower, namely
Lily, has been my perfect inspiring.
Since the day I’ve met you, lovely.
The sun shone on the river so vividly
that I could see no more sighting.
Everyday of my life was so bright.
I tried to look at you again, my honey.
But the light was everywhere, obscuring.
Since the day I’ve met you, lovely.
Wearing sunglasses like a blind, why me?
Nothing was matter. merely I staying.
Everyday of my life was so bright.
Since the day I’ve met you, lonely.
