Rock

"One day you'll walk into the tattoo shop of life and say: I'm back.
I'm ready for my new tattoo, and her name is rock~n~roll.
Now it's time to make it permanent.
You will have been through all the temporary 15 minutes of flash.
You will come to realize that you've been being served fast food music
and disposable heroes for too long.
You know what the man behind the counter will say?
We knew you'd come back."

--Motley Crue

Pump Room

Ok, this is my second time coming here and it's sure cool.

Music:
The first time when I came, I left before the band started to play. Well, not this time. The first set was not up to my liking though, more to the retro side but the second set was fantastic, it was mainly hair metal and punk rock all the way. I had to jump and sing till I got no more energy left. No dancing with women for that set as hair metal rock really keeps me engross and high, yeah, i really mean high. Kick start with "You give love a bad name", followed by songs like "Living on a prayer", "Sweet Child of mine", "Video kills the radio stars", "That thing you do" and the best, "Smells like teen spirit". Seriously the songs are still too commercialized really but no complains.

hey! where can i find hair metal rock? give me some poison and cinderella!!

21st August 2008

I was almost shivering from excitement when I went back there again, the same old place.. but the feel is totally different this time. jumping around and looking around excitedly at the control station and I guess the passerby must be thinking I'm crazy. nostalgic. I'm back. it feels like I have taken a time machine back and i can almost see the me many years ago walking by among the crowds. maybe i used to see the future me too when I was walking by there a few years ago but just that I couldn't recognize or wouldn't be able to. anyway, I look so different now, think so different. I wouldn't be able to know what is going to happen then. Now I do. i seriously almost cry on the way back. Sadness? Happiness? To be frank, I myself can't tell.

Off Day
written 14th June 2007

The doctor says I'm on medical leave
I'm certified with a broken heart and grief
I won't need no medicine to eat
I just need a few days alone to breathe
I'm out of here... Far away from here...

Tired of breathing all these dirt
Yeah, tired of saying the wrong words
Not first or second, it's not even third
I plead a thousand times, please set me free like a bird
I'm out of here... Fly away from here...

If you're the one to walk the path of god
I'm going to be the one looking into the devil's eyes
We just don't, we just won't, we just couldn't stand side by side

It's my off day today
No you, no pain, just me alone
I don't mind living in grey
No blue, no green, I don't need no paint
It's my off day today
Hey, what you say
It's my off day and I'm alone

We've been playing the midnight hide and seek
I hid and ran so much I'm the MIA king
Take away my weight, hurt, pain and broken piece
So I can be light enough to be blown away with the wind
I'm out of here... Far away from here...

The words and feelings behind these eyes
When I look at you and say a goodbye
We gotta be strong and brave and fight the night
If we don't let our hearts see, we never see the light
I'm out of here... Let's get away from here...

They said there ain't road for me to the path of god
I'm not going to be lost by looking into the devil's eyes
We just don't, we just won't, we just couldn't see eyes to eyes

It's my off day today
No guilt, no hurt, just me alone
Mr. Perfect shows me her face
No right, no wrong, you made a mistake
It's my off day today
Hey, hey, hey, what you say
It's my off day and I'm alone

Lost and found..
I can come in a minute, yeah then I can go in a second
Lost and found..
Be on time for work, yeah then I can go in a second

It's my off day today
Hey, hey, hey, what you say
It's my off day and I'm alone
Let's get out of here...

Rose-colored Glass

Here's one poem specially dedicated Henry and Benny.

Rose-colored Glass
written 12th June 2007

She said she loves you and your brother from birth
She leaves for heaven but these words stay on earth
These days, you don't get used to the kitchen's quietness
Cause after all, she has been around for twenty six years

A woman forced with a strong heart after being alone
The two small hands turned rough to build you a home
Too bad we couldn't sing her at the room she once roamed
But I'm sure she would look from heaven and listen to this song

It didn't took us long to notice that something was wrong
When everyone's around and yet he still seems so alone...

We'll be waiting for you at the other side of the rose-colored glass
Nothing happens too slow and nothing comes too fast
Like all brothers walked side by side, together no one will be last
If you can't see any, we'll be your rose-colored glass

I can still remember her smile when she cooked us a meal
You smile when you're happy, we don't need no pills
Take your mother's hand, you know there's no more ordeals
Just to see the two of you grown, everything has healed

Tell Benny we'll be here too, there's no need to run
This very moment, she might be looking at the same sun
Feels like she's saying thank you for taking care of her son
Well, we said thank you and your son for taking care of us

It didn't took us long to notice that something was wrong
When he jumped and danced like that's mistakes to atone...

We'll be waiting for you at the other side of the rose-colored glass
Maybe our hands don't reach enough but the heart does
Like all brothers stand side by side, we believe and we trust
If you can't find any, we can be your rose-colored glass
Yeah, the rose-colored glass...
Yeah, let both your eyes see through...
Let us be your rose-colored glass...

I can still remember her smile when she cooked us a meal
Just to see the two of you grown, she knew everything has healed

dedicated to Henry and Benny

Obey The Nature

The moon says I have added a few more characters to my name
Another sleazy night to my collection, another girl to my fame
I got a little bit of black in my white and I hunt the green
Take it off, says cheese, welcome to my movie screen

I drive the young girls home after Jason gave them another jug
Yeah, drive and whistled past their home, drive all their mother nuts
I don't need no driver, I got the cops to pick me up
But cut, I'm an evergreen, get ready, we'll roll the film behind bars

Yeah, they said I come from the jungle
The man from the nature
Come see the real thing
I'm too unimaginable
Pull your skirts a bit higher
Yeah, and make my pants a little tighter
Come on into the jungle
Take it off, obey the nature

The sun says I hit your streets, here comes your movie star
Put our faces on the cover, wear my hair like aliens wear theirs on mars
Take one, get the bed ready, take two, actress, I'll play director
Another roll of film but it's not for sale, yeah, not for rental

Secretary and a female boss, we'll talk under the bed cover
Resume under your clothes, show it to your interviewer
Yeah, bring in Gina, Rebecca, May, June and April
I'll take all part time actress too, someone show me the nature...

I said I came from the jungle
Hopeless and incorrigible
I'm the religion above
I make your god unbelievable
Let your tongue do the linger
Yeah, and make my pants a little tighter
Hey girl, you're in the jungle
Take it off, obey the nature

The moon says one thing, the sun says another
Freak out, I can't tell what the stars utter
Spare me a night cause we can't live forever
Take it off, yeah, let's obey the nature

Where's Everybody Now

Finally out with a new poem. My 38th 'QC' poems and 62nd all time poems. This piece makes it to the blues category. By the way, my online vault of poems has been removed so you won't be able to access my site no more. Will find a new web space to put all the old poems up again. But it might take some time... maybe a long time. Here goes...

Where's Everybody Now
written 11th June 2007

I don't need no sex but I called a geisha whore for a hundred and nine
Not inclusive of tax, just that it feels too lonely to sleep all alone at night
Yeah, turned and slip her some lines, about this man on her bed now and his lies
She just moan and smiled, "Baby, if your life's messed up then what about mine"

I'm on a break away, running for a thousand and ninty nine
One metre short to you and I fall before crossing that line
Like the "Dead Horse" and the old medic dimming their lights
The hearts I used to see so bright, now they're saying goodbye
They said goodbye... and yeah, they're gone

What have I done now
There's blood on the ground
The heart hurts so bad it feels like a kiss from the gun

Where's everybody now
No one's left in this rock n roll band, but the sad songs played on
This rock n roll band, all of our dreams just shattered, went wrong
Why am I running back to the same old place again, while every one moves on...
No one's left in this rock n roll band, just me and a photograph of us in front
Somebody tell me... Where's everybody now

We thought we could meet in some pubs, a little dance to cheer each other up
But why am I touching you again, our body did the talking our hearts shut up
Popping the pills again gets you high, up in the sky above your pain
But please, I don't want to sleep on someone else's bed again
Not again... Yeah, and I'm gone

Bought a ticket to our last song, not knowing the lyrics' making the truth wrong
The fairy tale ending of the night, that has been a dream inside for so long
It could have been love for the first time, could have been true my whole life
But I'm just another of your god's toy, his revenge in disguise
Yeah, what a lie...

What have I done now
I've finally sung
But nobody hears me at the top of my lungs

Where's everybody now
No one's left in this rock n roll band, yet the sad songs played on
This rock n roll band, this guitar, drums, where did everybody goes
Why am I running back to the same old place again while every one moves on...
No one's left in this rock n roll band, just me, some old scars and that tattoo
Somebody tell me...

No one's left... but I'm still playing on
No one's listening while I cry and sing on
I run and run yeah, but I run to the same place alone
No one's left in this rock n roll band, just me, some old memories and you
Somebody tell me... Where's everybody now

Guilty

Been writting a lot lately.. one more piece

Guilty

Black And White

One more piece of poem... My first ever in september.. Left october without a piece

Black And White

Thank You, I'm Sorry

This is the latest piece, my first ever in an August.

Thank You, I'm Sorry

World Cup

It's 15mins to world cup. once every 4 yrs... thinkin of it really makes me feel that time flies... flies so fast that i really feel like cherishing the time spent with my family, especially when my communication with them could get so poor that sometimes, I only spoke once a day at home. I am workin hard on it... somehow, today i really hope to sit down with my father, my sister(germany supporter) and watch the opening match of the world cup. somehow, i drop all my plans to watching it outside with my friends, somehow, nobody's home yet and guess somehow, i am goin to watch it alone.

Seven-Year Itch

Yet another poem...

Seven-Year Itch

Version 2

This is not the first time... I changed the poem again. I hope it could only get better. The first and the previous one simply doesn't sound right... The first, after reading it the next day I finish it, I found out that there's totally nothing inside... All the message and feeling I want to say... nothing is inside.

The previous one, getting better, starting to make some sense but not enough. I wanted to say more. I wanted to put everything and every message in my mind into this one piece of poem and close it permanently...

Here's the final version, I hope... so here goes, See You Again

Rewrite

Rewrite the whole piece again...

You can check it out here See You Again

Lost it
