IT is coming for you,
you better run and hide.
For hiding gives you time,
before IT starts your demise.

IT is coming for you,
for Halloween is the night.
You better start thinking,
for the plan is full of fright.

IT is coming for you,
you better not shout out.
For any sound may start,
the real reality and doubt.

IT is coming for you,
you never knew all along.
That the story had started,
and that life may not be for long.

IT is coming for you,
calling anyone will bring the end.
No time to tweet or ask on Facebook,
if anyone is willing to help you as a friend.

IT is coming for you,
turn off and dim the main light.
For the light will turn on and off by itself,
to start the process of the real fight.

IT is coming for you,
no time to warn anyone else.
Either you save your own self,
or start smelling like a rotten body smell.

IT is coming for you,
you wonder why you will die.
No place to hide in a building,
and no place to hide out under the sky.

IT is coming for you,
time to spread the fear is getting less.
Save yourself and hope for a train,
IT is Bes.

Sky watches Sun and Clouds battle.

Get the popcorn and buy a ticket,
for the sky is sitting around,
the greatest battle of the day is here,
between the sun and the clouds.

There is no need for special effects,
this move one has a natural feel,
light and shadows collide brilliantly,
to create the wheel of life and zeal.

Funny, that this may not be mentioned,
on your social networks and in e-mails,
Facebook and MySpace will not hold their breath,
and Digg and Twitter will simply talk about whales.

Come, living creatures,
you can also watch if you want to,
figure out if the sun will come up,
or if the clouds will push it down the view.

This happened when Window 95 came out,
and this happened way before it too,
this happened when apples fell to the ground,
and this happened way before that too.

A big battle is raging on here,
one that affects you all everyday,
the clouds and the sun go at it repeatedly,
like life itself praying on preying on the prey.

You can watch this while you drive,
and die while marveling at the beauty,
you can take pictures to hold on for a while,
and feel like Flickr memories are your duty.

So sit and enjoy, for what you are about to see,
may keep on happening, even after you are gone,
or maybe it will stop, and an outcome will be seen,
in your lifetime, to this battle for the night rages on.

The angel of the graveyard, staring like a guard,
sitting over here, overseeing the dead,
waiting patiently for each new body,
to be brought to its final resting bed.

People think of angels,
to feel alive since birth,
though this angel can feel them,
dead and deep within the earth.

We are told to think of angel wings,
to feel shelter and comfort,
but this angel uses its wings,
to induce your death and inert.

It sits there with its wings,
overshadowing its own shadows,
it watches directly in confusion,
over the dead tombstone rows.

They take its picture in the day,
feeling attracted to the design of the tomb,
they feel it is a symbol of life and death,
and a feeling of what lies beyond the doom.

People putting down flowers,
and also pictures to weep,
the angel finds them interesting,
the memories people want to keep.

People hate the angel of death,
for everyone says that angel kills you.
But why should we hate it only,
when it is one of angels too?

Let it oversee us and the dead,
for we are all headed somewhere too.
Let it sit there waiting for us,
for we are somehow waiting for it to move.

Portrait of Graveyard Macro Flowers.

The dead never sleep,
the dead never stay,
the dead are not alone,
for them you are to pray.

Many look at graveyards,
and think of a sorrowing demise,
they see the end of everything,
a place simply haunted at night.

“Fear everything in graveyards!”,
their voices want to say,
“for it is not a place to hide,
but a place to forever reside.”

People jog here,
and people mourn too,
people relax here,
and dogs wet trees too.

Look here, a small flower,
growing up by the dead,
it is full of life and vitality,
for it also feeds on the dead.

Flowers, plants, and animals too,
everyone is here to live.
You think graveyards make animals quiet?
animals and flowers are quiet in your home too.

Enjoy the view, look at the flower,
resist the urge to be very quiet,
relax, observe, this is part of the view,
like everything else, this takes a cue.

This is a portrait,
so they may want to know,
will you focus on many things,
or solely on what’s below?

Tell me. I'll listen. - by Bes Zain

Tell me, I will listen,
for I have a lot to say too,
tell me, I will listen,
for I see a lot of words in you.

What is it, you can share,
I think I can keep a secret or two,
tell me, I want to hear,
I will listen and tell you something too.

If those that society wants you to be with,
do not understand you, do not listen to you,
you can find out others and just be anything,
for the real listener may simply be within you.

Do you want to make money,
or do you want to work online?
Want a friend on Facebook,
or a physical friend offline?

Do you want to eat more food,
or do you want to write more?
Do you want to blog on MySpace,
or do you want to hide some more?

Do you want to study,
or do you want to stop working?
Do you want to socialize more,
or do you want to stop flirting?

Do you know what you want,
or are you still thinking?
Have you made out a plan yet,
or are you still planning?

Is something bothering you,
or are you bothering someone?
Is there anything that you want to do,
or do you want to be someone?

Tell me what it is,
if you wish to tell me.
For you have a choice to be silent,
for being silent communicates too.

Tell me, I will listen,
for I am wondering if I should speak too,
tell me, I will listen,
for I see a lot of life in me too.

Contrast is life support. by Bes Zain

It may possibly be the color,
that seems to seduce,
it may be the trend,
that wants to reduce,

“What makes life?”,
I ponder sometimes,
Is wondering about life,
the only life sometimes?

Is it the journey,
that excites the life,
or is it the destination,
that finishes the strife?

It is simply the contrast,
which makes up everything.
Being similar is not the answer,
being anything can be everything.

So here sits the thought,
deep in the open trenches,
thinking whether to get out forever,
or to stay out in the open for a bit.

So there is the building,
high up above,
showing me how contrast it is,
in and against life to define life support.

Jump end process? - by Bes Zain

That is your life,
this is mine,
all right to overlap,
just avoid destroying my line.

Whatever you do,
I can be here,
What you have done,
no need to repair.

Whatever I do,
you can be there,
I hope you are,
for we laugh at despair.

The focus is now,
for that is real,
the past is now,
because you are here.

Let it be,
just focus on nothing,
relax, calm down,
and let the feelings fling.

Let me jump,
so I can see,
I’ll help you jump,
in your living spree.

It is a good life,
if you actually live it good,
saying it is good,
is simply not that good.

It is a wasted life,
if you actually waste it,
saying it is wasted,
is simply not enough.

Let us laugh at those,
who live life on quotes,
let us observe those,
who live life without coats.

It is all right to jump,
for that is how life can be,
let us jump, run and walk together,
for without obligations life is free.

Everyone wants a life,
something with money, sugar, and salt,
everyone talks about the life,
this is a life with a lot of talk.

If you have money, then you surely have it,
the money brings life, life to enjoy it,
if you suffer today and work for tomorrow,
you are surely to have money and no sorrow.

If you are poor, then you surely have it,
the poorness brings humbleness and wisdom too,
if you suffer today and also tomorrow,
you have patience, peace, and are forever happy too.

For me, all of those are just talks,
talking about things just to impress,
for me, there is no life plan and no life work,
for the plan and the path is life itself.

One day in SF I saw two heads,
one was leaning & one upset,
I wondered “wth?” and what they wanted,
heads heads heads heads heads.

I asked the head on the left,
“why you rolling? is that your bed?”,
I got no reply, just a weird wince,
wince wince wince wince wince.

I was kind of scared to talk,
to the upset face on the right,
he was yelling & did not see,
me me me me me.

Apparently the two had somehow met,
earlier in life on an emotional set,
the two had never gotten along,
fight fight fight fight fight.

The one on the right felt ignored,
he felt like the other always acted bored,
the one on the right had many complaints,
damn this damn this damn this.

The one on the left felt abused,
he was asked for favors and kind of felt misused,
by the one on the right he always accused,
used bruised refused confused.

So now instead of a visual landmark,
I got stuck with two fighting sharks,
oh I just wanted to make new friends,
dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb.

I could ask the right what he said,
and I could ask the left what he felt,
but then I thought of the pain that would ensue,
subdue subdue subdue.

So I decided to bid farewell to the two,
but talking or listening would only be moot,
so I jumped through the danger loop,
jump through escape through jump through!

Not much to explain,
in the words that the light wants,
for the light simply want an admittance,
that it is the light that I want.

Well the truth is, the night gives enough light,
to live and to have fun,
to breathe and to be alive,
and to realize I am all, and I am one.

So I live the night and live the life,
and try everything in the regular light life,
for that is how I can feel the life and the real friends,
a few, but more than enough for a real blasting life.

The night is the fun,
and the night is the life,
and I have realized, in addition to that & other things,
that the life is also the night, and the night gives wings.
