Dialogue


I
Yes I have the brain
but don’t have the heart man should have
Yes I am good in art
but I am an artist trapped in dark world
Yes they’re so much to share about me
but twofold things I need to hide

And my head cannot hold everything
just something little to greater nothing
And my mind cannot make all the strokes
to form the void and word in every thoughts
And too little of me anybody can know of
only two faced creature to be cut off.

II
Few people say I am trustworthy
yet the truth I am unworthy
Some talked about my honesty
yet pity to them it was all stupidity
Others believe my deep thoughts
yet only beautiful but empty words

They poke to their head and convince I am
noble by birth but its all damn
Their words of admiration seems true and real
for I know my self and its all no deal
And most of them spirited my way of praying
like a song nice to hear but only death sing.

III
My friends called me by my name
less to address my own identity
My girlfriends hugged me just the same
less to embrace the whole lucidity
My boyfriends understood me not
less to grasp my whole sexuality

Yet name is not enough to described my being
il-earth dwell in lone church building
Yes shoulder to shoulder shared without bond
for the sun leave so soon but no one understand
Though the state is the same as instinct posses
but unburned stars covered the youth heartless.

IV
You told me what could I do
fight to end up this crazy feeling
Yet asked me again what hinders me
consider the prayer as my shield
You show me your godly action
noble example in Christian sense

Why do you feel the same my friend?
the stillness of night yet dreary life
Why heavy footprints un-mark the sand
well behold, even it does, there is strife
Why nay aware it echo nor at bliss
shyly digging the homestead abyss.

V
I told you this because I have to
my gifts is all but nothing as woe
I share this to you because I should do
my values is the same rooted to grow
I show this to you because soon I will go
my life is no face the same as you do

Less be wrong for they’re so much to re-do
collect yesteryears the gray headpiece
Less it is impossible that was my mask
the closet figure the curse of dull rainbow
Less it is wide and dark horizon
two roads of nowhere or mosaic cassock.

VI
Yes at last throw my head
and relate the things without guilt
Yes finally I open my heart
and shout my fears to the cruel world
Yes before I’d like to end up this story
and soon will go nothing left to say

Un-robe and never to put on it again
but what guarantee from bone and flesh
Bare and bold and now covered with gold
and yet fire and water it is without rest
No never stop saying I will
for I know my own belt tie my on will.

VII
Those few people were deceived
beyond their comprehension of what I said
Those some people was left blinded
cannot see the image under the veil
The others were vex and be vexed
carried by their way of prejudice

The friends called me by name was misled
often tittle vulgarity is there senses
My girlfriends hug me but nothings is all true
created image of earthly view
My boyfriends who get me wrong all their lives
sunk to their depths unguarded lives.

VIII
That’s all I can say about me
The friend you thought without infirmity
That’s all I can be from those long days
The lover of both and hidden affairs
That’s all the reason why I can’t stay
Leaving this face were evilness live in me

Another time another me a friend yet enemy
To them who knew me by head and by heart
One whole day or a thousand nights
Will together; live life by piece or by part.
The image of a man hidden fashion in secret
Shaped the unlock un-welcoming truth
