So Many Why's

I thought you could read my signs

So Many Why's

You asked why my lips embraces so tight, hiding my teeth from a joke's tickle

You asked why those traces of smile that could blind a car's headlight gone

You asked why silence suddenly becomes my answer to all lively conversations from friends

You asked why my face look pale, like a hungry monkey that lost it banana

You asked too many why's and I thought you could read my signs

That when the sky's face gets dark and thunder like a lion scare away birds with husky angry roar, then heaven is morning and soon it will cry down rain;

That's when the sun hides it's bright face from Earth's beckoning gaze and the sky moon boldly comes out to dance on sky's dark play ground, then all life have travel to dreamlands

When a man persistently hugs and cuddles sadness, a woman have denied him true love's embrace
