It's graduation!
A day supposed to be the happiest
The happiest at least in half a decade
And here on a molded parapet alone
...

Where the road ends
There another begins
And the place where one last breathes
There again is the first of breathes heard
...

A feeling never felt
And never too quickly in love fallen
Like a wax the fire in a voice melted
The inner feels; no strength could contain
...

I come into my own land as a stranger
And among my very people like a visitor
Knowing no one and not known by everyone
I'm stared with searching eyes that struck my bone
...

Every child has a father or even did
I call not all men, fathers
Fathers are great orchestrators of good deeds
Valiant in all things though overwhelmed by a myriad
...

At midnight in my rest
I feel life move on my legs
I thought it a dream
Yet again in the same place moved
...

The day fades
As the sun disappears
The moon smiles
For its yoke breaks
...

The sun disappears
The day fades
Darkness spread its winds
To take the earth captive
...

Once saw I a goddess pass before my dwelling
Into her eyes I stared and a smile wry got
The image of her beauty ever carved in my heart
Her voice I never knew, and to her name was I a stranger
...

Let us end it tonight
No don't do this to me please, I love you
So do I, and very much more
But our love, nature approves not of
...

Kingdoms rise and fall
Kings reign and die
And never is any eternal that be earthly
Do not think
...

Christmas please don’t be late
Another trip around the sun ended
Now must Santa Claus descend the heavens
To be seen yet again of men
...

There she stood
Same place I saw her last time
Waiting on another she knew not
A stranger bearing a seed
...

None that called, and on none calls
None that asked, and on none asks
...seeked, on none seeks
He's become a deadly reptile, none nears
...

I laugh with my friends till sunset
Over our heads the wicked clouds assemble
“You are still here? ” many asked
I am the youngest among my friends
...

What is this river I see before me?
The natives tell me is the great sea of old
That old sea on which many battles have been fought
And many precious lives lost
...

Surrounded in ultimate bliss
Boredom in nature so palpable
From a dreadful sleep awaken with a kiss
Beauty before and a fruit palatable
...

She loves to sing and so do I call her
Quiet and at all times with laughter
My first female friend on campus
She 'Nicky! ' lovely calls me
...

No matter how many times experienced
The feeling is so exhilarating
That of a newly gotten love
My muscles burst with strength
...

Up on the telly seated
With an eternal frozen stare
Little prissy took out an eye
A year she was and teddy, who can tell?
...
