Antebellum

Remember me before the war

When we were young and happy

When we sit side by side

Painting rainbows 

On a starry black night.

Remember me before the war

When we would just sit by the window pane

Watch the pouring rain

Sipping black coffees

Listening to old melodies.

Remember me before the war

When it's raining hard

But I don't need a rainbow

Just that curve from your mouth

So contagious

It makes me smile back.

Remember me before the war

But someday your name will be just another word

I will no longer look when I hear it.

No longer cry over the memories

I'll just smile over the tale that was told...

All before the war.

HIRAETH

In your world of blacks and whites

And different shades of grey in between

You try to put some colours that might

Add atune and holes to fill in.

But your masterpiece looks like a chaos

Your canvas still a mess up

It is a hiraeth on a loose

Oh it is worse than a break up.

Preservation

Long ago, it must be,

I have a photograph...

Preserve your memories; 

They're all that's left you...

Question Of Faith(less)

Do not question my Faith...

I know exactly where I stand.

Maybe, you should question yours...

And why you just can't stand being alone.

The Law of Art

Art is never meant for close-minded people...

For it is never meant to have just one solid purpose.

For it has different angles, different views, different meanings.

It creates different inspirations depending on the one who's embracing it.

Art is never meant for judgmental people.

For it is never meant to be judged.

It has to be appreciated.

It has to be known.

It has to be understood on its own.

Art is never about perfection...

It is about appreciation.

To know that nothing is without beauty.

Even in chaos...

We could find art.

Even the imperfection is Art itself.

Forgive my imperfections...

I just can't help myself but capture these things through my lens.

All for my love of Photography.

I woke up early...

And realized that it's late.

No longer the young I used to be.

It is all left behind the walls of the "those were the days".

When they say "Youth is wasted on the young".

I dare to differ my opinion.

Because in youth I showed my Courage.

(Like what they say - 1 part brave, 3 parts fool).

And now I'm older I show my wisdom.

My youth was never a waste...

For it has given me lessons.

Lessons that has given me wisdom.

A Magus once said...

"The choice you refuse to make...

Is the one that will be made for you."

The Root is the Heart

As the bible says - "For the Love of Money is the Root of all Evil."

Then I realized... It is the Human Heart, Not the Devil, that is to be blamed for sins.
