My Lekythos Urn – by Gabriel Cheng – (Chi’s Son)
My Lekythos Urn
From pot to poet to all that will hear
With a persistent ear
These are the things that I hold dear
The ying-yang symbol
origin of china
symbolizes the great threats in life
as well as the great happiness
For, one cannot know despair, without the other also there.
Both must exist in harmony
For without one, the other is nothing
What is tragedy?
it is unknown
without its opposite
neither is shown
What is happiness?
that which cannot be bought
yet something everyone possesses, happiness forgot.
Kingdom hearts
a world of fake reality
but its problems, same as my own
seem so real to me.
for if you believe enough
you can conquer any foe or task
no matter how tough
that is what kingdom hearts has taught to me
and I believe
what I have taught to ye
Swords, daggers, double bladed all
come to me, hear my call
I wish to take you in, for I collect thee
for any occasion, blades sheathed.
for if the time comes,
you’ll help me, won’t you my chums?
Oh rose, Oh rose,
to whom does thy belong?
a fair lady, whom knows
that it is her rose, and not any others.
to influence the heart, and become a part
of my heart, she has mine.
Oh father, Oh father
where has thy gone?
my soul beckons thee
my soul undone
the tragedy that befell you
of which I must not remember
My voice has been made heard
singing talent of mine.
with loud rock and roll words
with a touch of poetry and rhyme.
Kick, punch, left and right!
these are the sounds
of a terrible fight!
my moves honed, used, poised for combat, ready for anything
on this terrible night.
Oh artist
of shades of black blue green, what will you do?
on a canvas of white
What hues will you put together
and form for us tonight?

Dear Gabriel Kahlil,
Thank you for this great work, i can clearly see your dad, chi, will be proud of this work, it’s deep, very deep…
I think it’s time for us to listen chi’s poems again, i mean bamboo parachute, these poems have some secrets and point of views in it…
I’m very happy chi has a beautiful and creative son like him, and dear adrienne, my all best wishes for you also, please give us some feedbacks, time to time…
gabe, you are the greatest thing your dad has ever done. you make him more proud then words can say. we are so proud of you and how strong you are. we love you so much. you are so much like your daddy. just an amazing, talented person. i love you gabriel.
Gabe…

I couldn’t believe when I read this! Honestly, I don’t even know what some of those words mean! Absolutely amazing and beautifully deep…you definately have a gift kiddo,most definately! Your father will love this and like everyone else has said, he will be so very proud!
NO QUIT CHI!!!

What a brillaint kid!!! Does he know how to play a bass guitar or drums. Hes quite the writer. He definatley has talent, and a great grasp on poetry, which does help people write songs that are powerful and message filled, like deftones. He has me speechles. I pray for him and his father. God bless( if you guys are religous, which I have the impression you are.)
PS: You should see if he could get surgery to replace that bone they took out and send him up to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston Massachussets. It may be a long long ride but up here we have the most skilled surgeons who could do alot for Chi. I am unaware if it is worth the risk, soley because I don’t know if MGH has any different options than his current hospital, but they could do miracles for anyone in need of surgery.
What a talented young man and so wise beyond his years, must have an old soul! I can see why you are so loved Gabe and I am quite sure your parents are both very proud of you! Is Chi still in the hospital? Still praying in Pennsylvania, hugs Stephanie
GABRIEL, WOW. Your beautiful poem made me cry, and I just wanted to tell you that I think you, like your father, have many beautiful gifts to bestow upon this world. I don’t have to know you to know that you’re “an old soul”, and very much your father’s son. Keep writing, Gabriel. What a gift, my God, what a beautiful gift. Thank you for sharing it with us!
Powerful! Poetry written through his father!
