Analysis of The Magic Word "Yes"
-when the magic word; 'YES'
-wears its natural amour
-the heavens comes down
-with a rose of the lilies
-Is the unblical word
that answers the clockwise dreams
-of a man's raging and burnt
-desires of a heartbeats
-we search for it in the mist
-of many unanswered questions
-we dream to find it in the hidden
-palms of the dark hours
-of a man's hungry souls
-with baton of anxieties
-when it finally comes
-becomes the costly bride
-gives the dreamer the salt
-to pinch its pains
-long disappointments disappears
-like air in the cloudstands
-hopes that was laid on punches bags
-grows wings to fly
-the heart renders songs of joy
-to the listening moments
-fulfilments graces the worn faces
-of the anguish hopes
-the magic word balm
-that restores the stolen peg of life
-and the life of a man
-wears a new reed of badges.
