Poems

I am not a good man.
But I try to be one each moment.

I fight my battles best I can.
I always try to be honest.

I have a rude mouth,
But I hope you see the sincerity.

I have an angry demeanor,
But I hope you can see the good in me.

I am a fearful man,
I seek my courage with God.

I try to stay true to my poems,
Would be a shame if I am not.

I struggle often, but I never quit.
Keep showing up, for battle I was built.

I fall once, I rise again.
Seek my strength in God,
This is my path to Zen.

– Master Kai

The battlefield – it’s dusty and dry.
Red is the ground, underneath the blue sky.
No words are spoken.
All the laws are broken.
I fight, I fall – I rise, I brawl
I can’t be stopped, I’m hard to kill.
Surrounded by foes, but my mind is still.
Now I have no shield and I have no plan.
I am taking the hits, the best I can.
Days of ruthless battles,
I have finally hit the ground.
Many allies gone, I have lost the count.
They breathed a sigh of relief,
Until the dust settled.
They thought I had been bested.
They forgot the powers I was vested.
That day many lives were wasted.
But to me, defeat remained untasted.

-Maitre Kai

The lover is gone, but the love is still here
We don’t talk no more, yet the words spoken are still there.

Echoing through eternity, moving through the stars –
The promises we made,
Unfulfilled dreams of sharing a bed…
Carelessly let go, held onto our egos instead.

But the spark that led us is still here.
Dormant, won’t you put some fuel there?
Set the fire & lead us somewhere?
Of course you won’t & of course I won’t.
Many put the ego aside, but some won’t

Hope you die a peaceful death
Hope I die the same
& hopefully in the next life,
Our love is rekindled again.

– Maitre Kai

It’s a dark time, many children just died
It’s a dark time, he took a woman’s life.

It’s a really dark time, a father was shot.
It’s a really dark time, the fire burning is hot.

They torched the houses,
The criminals are out loose.
From every part of the world,
All I hear is bad news.

I feel the sadness, I feel the rage.
I don’t even know my enemies
& it feels like a cage.

I question why. I see the evil eye.
God is the best of planners.
So I put the questions aside.
He has a plan, it is his will.

Through this dark time,
Let’s all pray together
So the world shall heal

-Zamkai Master

He waits for me and I trust he waits
I know he stands by the rusty gates.

The gates to which I walk closer daily.
He stands there and he doesn’t smile,

He doesn’t talk. Yet he makes people cry
But I can vouch for him, he is not a bad guy

He talks to me in sore goodbyes.
In the grieving hearts of the teary eyes.

He reminds me how all shall pass
And all my worries, they aren’t meant to last

And the day we meet, is the day it ends.
It’s a blood contract, you can make no amends.

My only friend, the end
The only promise of my life.

The only one I trust to wait.
He waits for me and I trust he waits.

– Zamkai Master

I have learned to let you go,
But I can’t let you be.

The thought of you with someone new
It hurts, how could I let that be?

There’s new hearts on the line,
But I just can’t let you be.

There you come again. In my dreams,
In my memories, In the phrases from the strangers,
In the things you like, that remind me of you.

How could I possibly let you be?

You were wrong, So was I.
Maybe I a little more.
I see it now but we are no more.

I have all the intellect
but I haven’t arrived to the conclusion.

Brain says it’s easy, chase the new tail.
Heart says a different story, sadly I can’t hear.

I have learned how to let you go.
I let you go a little more each day.
But I can’t let you be.
How do I set my heart free?

As the fire grew high,
It burned down the forest.

I broke 2 hearts,
But at least I was honest.

I knew no peace.
My mind knows no rest.

It was I who set the fire
That burned down the forest.

The war hasn’t ended,
My scars never healed.

I feel bad that I hurt you,
The rudeness was my shield.

Now a new heart’s on the line
Travelling through your streets.

I have lost track of time.
I am missing you and I’m left writing rhymes.

The fire so hot,
fumes made you suffocate.

Guess that was our weakness.
We never could communicate.

Now I’ve lost you in the fire
And I’m trying to forget you.

The lesson was nice;
But sometimes I wish I never met you.

The Zamkai Master

Man on a mission, he is out to get souls.
Out in the cold, the engine starts to roar.
As the city fades in the morning darkness
The forest starts to show it’s prowess.

To train the mind, to take the souls.
Among the windy roads, the rider goes.
Casuals want to compete. Show them who’s the boss.
Show them how it’s done, there ain’t no secret sauce.

You take the risk and see how far you go.
See if you break or if you break the status quo.
With every rev a story is written,
With every turn a demon is beaten.

After long the plains are met.
Roads to Katari, this is where I fret.
Rush like lightning, fall like thunder.
Put your luck to the test, no time to wonder.

To train the mind, to take the souls.
As the engine roars on the Katari roads.
Remember the promise, the love back home.
As the revs climbed high, I wan’t alone.

Lesson learned, not the fastest horse that beats it.
It’s the weakest one that cheats it.
No one gets to see who beats it.
Because no one goes hard enough to risk it.

The Zamkai Master

Changed my path, I don’t stay quiet no more.
Never empty handed, it’s a win galore.

I’m the Zamkai Master, all they do is adore.
Story for an eternity, call it the Zamkai lore.

Tenacity of a thousand suns, I come blazing.
Aura of the gods, You see the evil fading.

Starry night, the wind is freezing.
Embrace the cold, stay Meditating.

Against all odds, you sail the sea.
Hardships befall, such is the Zamkai Odyssey

As the fear creeps, you hum the Zamkai melody.
Thousand tumbles deep, you find the courage to infinity.

The Zamkai Master

If you are a breeze and fragments of air,
So essential for life… are a part of you.

But if I harbor hatred in the heart for you.
I would shut myself in a vacuum chamber.

Let my organs shut off and let my body wither.
But my soul would be at peace.

For the pain of suffocation,
Would hurt much less to my stubborn soul.
