The Tempo

Peeping frowning creeping lived a guy,
on the shores of an ancient land.
Lonely angry cheery he stayed in sly,
with fingers crossed for a brand.  

pale and dark but undyed,
sullen grim with a smile,
lusty bright in vain,
ravening wild with mercy.

Ardour gives him life;
Thirst keeps him steady;
famine leaves him agony;
Hope drives him forward;

Forage revises his ardor,
Thirst alters his lifestyle,
Exploring whole life,
Imploding from inside.

post a dozen ages,
his legacy looks at him with a smile;
Staring at the giant,
from a bygone Latin bind
in dust and gray.

Sneaky little time,
makes the tousle seen,
with ages to go,
and countless to realize.

Ceaseless

Pedaling bicycle, Sewing her fabric, Building her grain of rice, There lived a floret. Smiling at hardships, Keeping her chattel, Riding she delivers her goods, Like a daughter. Prompting with good hope, Reminding 'keep smiling', She lived like a chorus, from someone's hard game. *1   chattel - belongings   *2  chorus - repeated work.    "She lived like a chorus, from someone's hard game." means:   someone here refers to the ultimate god or creator.

The Giant Wheel

 As the dusk befalls the falling sun, far beneath the gibbous glow, sat a lad upon the winding stairs, chasing glimpses of waning moon. Amid a muse of dreams in concord gently spun, he played the role enduring glow, watching it rise beyond the upper airs, unwitting, the seer glides below the climbing moon. unaware a ceaseless ride borne, the boy so tight in sweeping flow, silent and still drifting nether airs, through quiet realms where shadows swoon. *1  dusk - the darker stage of twilight   *2  gibbous -  (of the moon) having the illuminated part greater than a semicircle but less than a full circle.    *3  waning - (of the moon) having a progressively smaller part of visible surface illuminated so that it appears to decrease in size.      *4  muse -  cluster of encouragement and inspiration     *5  concord  - in discipline    *6   enduring glow  - hav...
