Valentines Day 1984
Sitting in the corner- hugging up my knees
It snows everywhere- everything is freeze
Covered up with white= but I feel blue
Its a lie to laugh- my tears are true
There is nothing left- for me to hang on
My feet are so cold- I can't even run
Canary is nice- but not in a cage
Break up the bars- just once for a change
But its hard to move- I'm used to jail
Life is a nightmare- Whole body one cell
My life is a bust- I feel like a dead
Snow doesn't melt- I reached out the end
It is white outside- and silent inside
Except a tictac- alarm of the night
My body's clock- asks me to wake up
Tictac of my heart- beats "don't you give up"
Nothing else is left- you think there for you
Your heart is beating- your love is true
Your love is your life- if you believe in
Cheer up don't give up- try to give in
I found means of life- in this valentines
my love is with me- that's why the sun shines
You are everything- everything in life
Its a happiness- have you as a wife
Snow will soon melt- sorrow will be gone
Warmth of your love is- with me on and on
Sitting in the corner- hugging you jolly
Happy valentines- I love you .....

May 1985
Spring comes again
filled with happy memories
beginning of the growth
and joyful memories
that is going down the drain.
All the roses blossomed
a green costume wore
each tree in prairie
and the earth honored us
rice, fruits, peas, grain
Every morning I reach out
to grab sun up there
to bring some warmth home
lighten up the darkness
give you joy and happiness
sun flies far away
hides under the clouds
my hand empty of joy
filled with sorrow and pain
My body like sky
gets cold and dampy
some cloud on my heart
shades over my eyelids
thinking of good old days
arm in arm we were
in the night we brightened
of laughter and happiness
now what is left is thoughts
and try to catch sun
it is going far away
my body like sky
cloudy and hazy
my tears on my cheeks
pour as fast as rain
"Don't give up" said my vain
"don't live in with memories
struggle to bring
happiness and glories
memory is picture
light and warmth real
stretch out your hands
take the sun into command
your body is just a tool
your behavior is main."
I opened my fingers
I cried out "you sun!"
stretched out my arms
I didn't catch this time
but it appeared to me
if try it my best
I'll catch warmth and light
I try hard and hard
put all hope to it
sure I will have sun
sure do some happiness
struggle is life
stretch out my arms
and try it again
and again and again

June 1985
When spring grows
and weeds flower
and dead plants blossom
and thirsty deserts drink the water that flows
When cats smile at fish
and tank fish swim towards the sea
and poems rhyme "to be"
and anger and violence perish
When pens don't write "I"
and your neighbors feel foryou
and all fairy tales come true
and no one cries "why"
When bombs kill each other
and dogs lick cats on their hands
and on tongue in all lands
and everyone is a lover
When today is not waiting for tomorrow
and people die of aging
and nature is just amazing
and there is no time for sorrow
When jail bars are rusted
and laugh conquers sadness
and loving is not madness
and hearts are not exhausted
When hearts beat just for love
and the color is red, but not blood
and everyone is a god
and no one looks for answers above
When eyes are bright stars
and hands are just for shaking
and brains are just for making
then, humanity starts

Dear Baba,
Today is your very special day
When all your friends call to say "hey!
Its your last year in the 50's
But you will always look young even in the 60's!
We used to eat fruit in the back
When I did something wrong, you'd cut me some slack.
You love to sing in the shower,
and are never late, to the hour.
You tell funny jokes, so we go "HAHA"!
I love you and
Happy Birthday Baba
