			<title>Revolution</title>
			<description>There are things thatthey do not merely understand,Words spoken out of frustrationwhich the heart is torn by;Tears let gone through sorrow,unably forgotten,Good riddance to agonyof what lies beyond.Then, words have been keptand soon to be forgotten,Torn heart through self-griefhas slowly been mended..</description>

			<title>Subtle</title>
			<description>And the fifth lunar of the yearCame in between stars of the leap,Made a beast out for just a kissTo let the growls of heart's beatWaltz in free with the caressing breeze.Not everything is fine, nor is nothing;As hand of the hour sings,The song of our do-re-miSwayed along the tip of daffodilsTo catch..</description>

			<title>Everytime</title>
			<description>Everytime our lives seem moving fineAnd everyone looks like having all the fun,I am here at the bottom of the world,Observing how it revolves, how they evolve.Everytime our path meets each other endAnd everyone sees us just a painted men,I am here at the middle of the crowd,Waiting for another doom ..</description>

			<description>And puzzles of my flight began to sway againTo shelter the passion of what my heart desireThrough animating the creations of my mindTo deal what they wish to see for the future past.The race to the end of line with dim candle lightRained with hurdles, with falls trying to halt the fightBut neither o..</description>

			<description>Like the sun that sets beneath the horizon at the west,The gleam in your eyes walks out suddenly from the worldAs the breeze of your breath at the top of my headHalted in between the motion of each spell.The nightmare from the night stole the painted curve,The smile that brings me to the dream you h..</description>

			<title>The Core of an Epistle</title>
			<description>Those inked moments on a torn piece of scratchBrought back the twilight of hope to the heartThat seemed fading through lens of the pastWith no one learning the whole truth behind.But when those treasures of pen reach the mind,For just at least in a blink of their glimpse,Would the fadi..</description>

			<title>Da Capo al Fine</title>
			<description>With treble clef, it starts in pianissimoLike do-re-mi of notes played 'til la-ti-doAnd tunes at mezzo sway in decrescendoAs rhythm began its dance in adagio.Softly, the music whistled in sheer silenceWhen the blackbird sings like of a nightingaleThe night in lullaby sleeps with quiesc..</description>

			<description>He does not talk much, always alone.He's timid and shy, scared with people.He is not anti-social but a little bit weirdoFor he does not like tattles for an idle talk.He looks like freak with his tousled hair,Seeing a wacko when he ogles to the airBut he is real nice, a tyranny to oppre..</description>
