The Safe House

Today I woke-up with a stress
A non-work related type
But a real-life-phased type
Countless times, I caught myself
Staring at the monitor like a lifeless creature

I had an attempt of filing a sick leave
I analyzed it, it would not be of help
So I keep myself busy
All throughout the day I had this fight
Not to think of problems I kept inside

In my mind, the sound of Tick! Tock! is playing
I can't wait for this workday to end
In months, this has been the most difficult day
That I need to visit a safe house to stay

Sadness devours my being
As I do every step to the safe house
The clouds in my eyes turns from cirrus to nimbo-cumulus
But still I managed to cease the rain from dropping

Finally I reached the safe house
I had a talk with HIM
HE is the only omnipotent being
WHO knows everything
Even the exact coordinates of the dirt in my uncut fingernails
HE who knows even my untold pain

The safe house is open 24/7
You, me, we are welcome 24/7
I'm never been this safe
Since the time I am faced with dread

I listened to HIS words very eagerly
I wanted to touch HIS cloak just like a leper did
I want to be healed instantly
But in the end, I just asked for the strength
To help me carry this burden
I have right now with my family

Buttless Barrel

Few days ago, I received sad news
From the people dearest to me
My family is put to a test
I am so sad that I can't be with them to face the test

I don't know what it is
But it weakened me to the bones
I felt paralyzed
A sudden grey sky covers my beautiful day!

From the moment I realized that human can cry
From the moment I realized that I am a type of guy
Who cannot open-up when it comes to my worriment
Even my closest friend would not know about my sentiment

Just like an ordinary being
I have my set of problems too
But there are just those
That's too heavy to carry
And it aches from head to toes

Long time ago, I installed buttless barrel within me
For me to keep the unshed tears
That no matter how hard I cry
It would be impossible to fill

Eversince, that's my way of easing the pain
Hitherto, I still do the same
Thanks for the buttless barrel
For tirelessly accepting the saline
That dropped from my eyes
Without following a law or any type of scheduling

The Lullaby

She is rare
She is a special kind
And so I dare
To stay on her side

That one night we intertwined
Leaving all doubtful thoughts behind
Sharing the night through cyber talks
Letting our music talks

Never noticed the night is getting inversely young
It was just like a moment ago, when the phone rang
We shared almost everything for night to kill
Even the funny and serious thoughts about RH Bill

I ended the night with goodbye
She ended it with a lullaby
I see through her and feel her
I wanted to jump-off my bed and hug her

As I quote from her Lullaby
"It is never impossible for a Lion to fall for a Lamb"
I will remember this as time goes by
For once in my life, it's ok to be stupid and dumb!
