If anyone can tell me what this poem means line by line, I will treat you to a free movie. Of course it is almost impossible =/

The clock ticks every second, every hour
half a dozen times have decayed
even the psychics do not have the power
to foresee what the world has to pay

the caring bird perches itself low down
it cant be seen in the busy side of town
I don’t want to keep my distance
but others wont, pause and think for an instance

to a land where the roots be
playing the game was not hard for me
the consequence that it had last
clocks! Not so fast

It’s like the portrait of the Mona Lisa
where it captures every scene
There were times when we leveled
Separated by a transparent screen

joy and happiness you portray
down inside its not the way
it’s the four walls with a key
you have to set yourself free

have you cut these wires short?
and left a memory dangling by the edge
the happy faces ground to dust
built by trust upon trust

At least there were windows
And I could see you from inside
in your hand was a picture
in that I knew I had died

I pray this is an illusion
and you’re the crafty magician
one day tell me the secrets to your trick
but do it before the clocks don’t tick

I’m not like that, I need signs
even the best cops need clues
can’t go on reminiscing about the times
between it needs some glue

I don’t want your possessions
If that’s what you think
Though I keep begging
there’s no other way to link

I can’t be alone
calling on other people
And I dare not show a sincere tone
It will make me seem feeble

besides, the best go with the best
the poor fall nonetheless
though the hunt is alluring
a no end is the king

with the remaining ticks lef
tlet the truth be seen
maybe the heart is not open to theft
and I will not anymore intervene

The Silver Locket

The Silver Locket
This one’s from Inuyasha the Movie 2.

It went all back to the start
The moment We first met
You were queuing in a mini mart
and our gazes met like that

you gave me the time of my life
everything I could ask for
In 3 years I was going to ask you to be my wife
but I guess the dreams are now shattered, tore

we played in the fields of gold
laid under a sky of diamonds
embraced in each other’s arms the whole night
I just want to hold you so tight

then one day I received a call
the voice so sweet and tender
it said you have something for me
sometimes you just make me wonder

it was a silver locket
with 2 pictures of you and me
I promised you I’d wear it always
all my life, all my days

and darling I want to let you know
that I have honoured that promise
the locket is still around my neck
something more than life I would protect

and I will always remember the times
all your laughs and all your smiles
though you may be over a million miles
you’re always on my mind, walking through the aisles

when the call came to defend
I saw you at the other end
you said you’d wait for me
I returned with a smile, and I set off into the distant sea

bullets and shrapnel ripped the air
and comrades one by one they fell
sooner or later it was my turn
I would not live a story to tell

but amidst all the gunfire
the silver locket clung onto my chest
you believed in me, I am no liar
I’m so sorry I can’t give you my best

so darling this is when the wait is over
I want to thank you for being my lover
some things time can’t rewind
I hope you’ll always remember me, and all the ties we bind

I guess out there is that special someone
who will show you care, love and concern
My last breath on earth is done
but know this, in my heart you’ll always burn

The crackling sound came
And I saw my shirt stained red
the images of life flashed in my head
I smiled as you came into my mind, then to rest I laid

and even as I died
I could only think of the locket and you
to let you know that I have always loved you ever so much
I wanted to be by your side for every tear and fall
it was not by fate, the meeting at the mall.

Box Of Red Chocolates

Remember the time we first met?
under palm trees and the red-stricken sunset
It was the start of a lovely chapter
there were two of us, and nothing else mattered

Remember the first time we went out?
resisted all your parents screams and shouts
It was the start of a beautiful relationship
that I would give anything just to keep

Remember the first time I looked into your eyes?
they said with me you would grow old and die
It was the start of an eternal love
carefree and young, we were as doves

so darling this is my red box of chocolates
within some assortments and a note
the written words all mean so true
always with you till the fall of the last dew

Remember the first time I held your hand?
I promised you, we would rule the land
It was the start of a grand affair
let the world see, this destined pair

Remember the first time I held you in my arms?
I was on top of the world, charmed
It was the start of an never-ending journey
only your heart to me was key

Remember the first time I felt your kiss?
its something that I don’t want to miss
It was the start of a blissful summer
together we’ll see the bloom of the roses and flowers

So darling this is my Box Of Red Chocolates
I pray you keep it till the end
contained are all my feelings and thoughts
someday, the scars of this broken heart of mine will mend
