                                                     Because

Because the two world are opposition,

as devil and humanity each has a mission,

their paralleled interests are quintillion,   

and they must be in tugging motion,

strict and splendorous their  expression,

it’ so as unique track to represent imagination,

while the two worlds strove for attractions,

Hunting for 360 degrees taste and passion.

Because the two worlds are associate, 

the dream and the humanity each  has a taste,

they enclosed their resources together at rate,

the attachments yielded a worthy fate,

the desire and destiny scrambling for journey jet,

they fly to deliver cumbersome feelings in set,

as any of every line along the pen is trusted,

with puzzling wisdom of imagination.

Because I’m human in two conflicts,

the smile and the sigh all means me,

while they means a lot from me,

as they pretends  less to me,

as I’m glad as they can’t be copied as me,

because a  lucky as them can’t be altered in me,

as fortunate  recognized poetry in me,

and because I was found in a lost  parts of me.

Because I found realities in its lies;

When it conquered beauties in ugliness,  

trimming scenarios in its sceneries,

reviving a dormant earth in verses,

sharpening moon and the sunsets,

humanizing natural look in natures,

expressing the balanced actions and ages,

refuged of heroes and their stresses,   

riddling the wise humanity to ease.

it matters its sensational creek,

which echoed thru nerves and meek,

that triggers an emotional climax peak,

Oh, believe me I’m thru literal ink!

It matters as it represents a peek,

a bold and a cumbersome mark,

a  yearning semi-column in tick,

a societies and its codes of free-kick.
