Forgotten tears
The pain that surrounds us do not spare our beloved ones, As we share the same burden and ecstacy together. This fosters the 'why' that makes our affection lingers. Same goes with our immediate environs, where the natural objects such as rain and the land joins in our anguish party. The metaphoric usage of the desolate land where people weep non-stop is liken to the pain one felt when things goes bad in their most treasured station of abode(land or home). Share in this sensation with the poet as he embarks on the journey of pain together.
The ocean has saturated our land;
Carcass of precious sewage inviting
Offspring of alphabeta to trade with us
In the annual feast of the eye's flood.
Here we are, lords of swollen lashes.
Kissing the blended sail of craving pant
For decaying ages that shone our nodes
Before our first withdrawal was made
Click to read caged
Together we sang duet of scorn
From our distance crest
In union cries that pierces the skin
Sweating mysteries chimes
Cooing, hooting, roaring
and whispering
Our very own grace in fretful plead
Soberly,
Our dear land is castrated
Of pleasure and hope
Our drinks now served
with rain of torment
Which welcomes our delude fate.

Softly we are awake to dry out dreadful drench
Under the blooming stars
Gallivanting around our weak gaze.
