Analysis of you!

florrà 2001 (Philippines)



my soul is floating
like a thin paper dancing
i took off my defense
condoning their eager glances  
fangs like hyenas, ready to use their claws
human is no picture-book, aware of its own flaws
folks! be open for what you have!
wear it enticingly like a mellow mauve
divert your eyes to the mat of envious
walk directly to your own path for that would be marvelous!
