Night without day
Makes one lazy
Day without night
Turns one crazy.

My Love For You
My love for you
Is more delicate
Than new leaves
Of spring.
My love for you
Is more fragrant
Than rose buds
To bloom.
My love for you
Is more brilliant
Than morning rays
Of sun.
My love for you
Is far deeper
Than still water
Of lake.
My love for you
I hold it dear
You merely glance
Let go.

The Hero Within
Limit yourself to the easy
and the difficult you'll never try.
Easy need live on the fringe of the world
grubbing for nickels and dimes,
Claiming that life has dealt a cruel blow;
crying: the fault is not mine.
Hero's need training to do the grand deeds
that earn them a hero's acclaim
It's setting your eye on the hero inside,
knowing you're fair to the game.
Knowing you've got what it takes to be tough
no matter how rough life may be.
I'm a hero, I know it! When my actions show it
it's because I'm a hero to me.

Bloom Of Youth
Your day will come little girl, little girl,
Be patient today and tomorrow.
Sip gently the nectar of awakening love,
Deep drafts are harbingers of sorrow.*
Guard wisely the blush of your opening bud-
One blossom is all you're allotted.
The body betrays and the heart is deceived
In throes of first passion besotted.
For many a dewdrop of love comes your way
To pluck at impatient heart strings,
But dew drops evaporate in the sun's ray,
Sip gently awaiting well-springs.
That first gentle thrill as your petals unfurl,
Like a breeze passing over the skin,
Can turn to a tempest and rage uncontrolled
To lead you astray from within.
Pluck not the bud and hand careless away-
No bud that is plucked ever blossoms
'Til down the footpaths of your slated day
True love will at last come a-walking.
Be patient today and tomorrow.
Sip gently the nectar of awakening love,
Deep drafts are harbingers of sorrow.*

Desert Of Brook
Where the ghost of ebbets fields
whispers echoes of yesterday
under the boardwalks of coney island
where the brownstones mark
the neighborhood, and
the accents define the boundary
where the people of color, no color, all colors
touching and making new colors
new world, old word, third world colliding
in a rainbow symphony of humanity
where dreams start, end, new stories, beginnings,
old stories, roots, tales, culture and myths
redefining, meshing and metamorphosis
the place of many languages
spoken over, within and part of English
creating new words, meaning and expansions
where American is found and
redefined in a cultural war
of collision and rebirth
effecting both old and new and
slowly moving towards a global
understanding of a new self
brooky is like the phoenix
in the destruction and rebirth
of the house of tomorrow

l Need Suicide
The emptiness in my life has me feeling dead and hollow,
Engulfed by great pain that buries away my soul in sorrow.
The sad loneliness is the muscle, rejection is the shovel,
That is used to bury me way under the deepest tunnel.
It's about to be over, as my unavoidable death gets closer,
I can feel the depressing odor, as my body gets colder.
I am decomposing, as my death is almost approaching,
My body is imposing, the stench of lonely guilt inclosing.
On the shattered pieces of my sad heart I am choking,
As they are poking, all the way through and I am hoping,
To die from this life right now as the pain is over loading.
My head has been kicked off, to the depths of hell it is rolling.
My soul has been stolen, giving me my spiritual homicide,
I have no more emotions, I feel absolutely nothing inside.
My heart is completely frozen, nobody wanted to me at their side,
The strength of my spirit has been broken, all I need is suicide.
It’s better to have known love, and never have your soul die at all.
Than to live a life full of humiliation, looked upon as an ugly neanderthal.
It’s better to never have lived, if you were just meant to sadly fall.
Than to live a fictitious lie, believing that you're so big, while being small.
It is better to die, than to live a life full of pain,
It is better to lie, on the ground with slit veins.
It is better to cry, blood and let your body drain.
It is better to fly, off to the clouds and never complain.
Why would I try to fight, if I'm rejected by the light,
Angels and demons ally, to send me into my demise.
Why would I fight, if my rescuing death is very near.
No longer will I get in the way, no longer will I be here.

Love Is Sweet
Your kiss melts me away, so so far away,
Not a thing can I do, and not a thing can I say.
Your kiss melts me away, so so far away,
I see our planet, because I am in outer space.
Your kiss melts me away, so so far away,
I'm afraid of letting go, I'll forever always stay.
Your kiss melts me away, so so far away,
You have me on the heavens, every single day.
Not a thing can I do, and not a thing can I say.
Your kiss melts me away, so so far away,

Night Of Love
Last night l was inside of you
last night while we made love,
l saw the sun, the moon, the mountain and the rivers;
The skies shinned forth and l saw Heaven.
I prayed never to come back
Then we came together as husband and wife,
l wish we would start afresh;
As lovers for ever with each other.
Even now l am ready to spend my night of love with you forever.

Though it may need prove,
On the count of faith and trust;
It covers all else and matters best.

Love And Rain
Love is like the Rain,
lt is pure and unending like the train;
Melting deep right the heart like drain.
Love is like the Rain
Proceeding from top to down of the vain,
Washing off fear and uncertainties from the brain.
Love is like the Rain
Freely given and evenly expressed even in pain;
At it's best on motion of gain.

Wear and tear,
Wish and have;

Love And Loneliness
I feel pain in my heart
My mind suffers in silence.
My soul seeks loneliness and longing,

Because l have chosen loneliness.
Since it is the best of you
that l have around.

Poetic Journey
The first poem was a wonder
The second was a surprise.
The third poem made me a poet,
The fourth gave me a name and fame.
The fifth poem fetched me a fantabulous fantasy
The sixth one was a striving struggle for perfect beauty.
The seventh poem conceived the heaven's serenity,
The eighth one gave me a fly,
The ninth poem lifted me in the sky.
The tenth poem turned a touchstone
Whatever I touched became gold
Life is poetry, poetry is life
A fountain of joy said in a metaphor
What a delicate delight it gave
When I was able to decipher.

Magical Mirror
I am the proud owner of a magical mirror
Once dropped down by an angel at my door
When I saw it I am a little bit frighten
As it shows me the fierce dragon
Resides in me totally hidden
He is the brother of the great devil
The co-author of every evil
At first I did not believe my eyes
But the fact is that in me it lies.
It comes into open when I am driven
By the spell of anger and completely taken
Under the grip of greed and lust
Or in me I lack belief and trust
Till date I keep claiming that I am an angel
Now there is no doubt that I am also an owner of an animal.

Flight Of Thoughts
Taking the shinny rays
On their golden wings
They remain afloat
And aimlessly roam about
On the windy surface of emotions
They go for a dive
If they find depth
Against the vast azure
To pluck pearls
From the garden of stars
If they do not
They take a merry go fly
On their golden wings
They remain afloat
And aimlessly roam about
On the windy surface of emotions
They go for a dive
If they find depth
Against the vast azure
To pluck pearls
From the garden of stars
If they do not
They take a merry go fly
Gift Of Words
Sun rays play with shadows
Words play like the sun
At will, they come into light
And play with my all emotions
They leave for me a gift of monologue which
Like a shadow goes after me.
Everywhere I carry them, too
As they ride on the back of my mind
And sing songs with a flute.
Without sound they chime a bell
Even they go behind the cloud.
Quickly they return back
When I am at rest
And start a conversation with me
In voice low clinging upon my heart.

Source Of Sadness
I am very sad
Not for today
As I feel
Their presence
And my body is warm,
But for the next
Hundreds of years
Will there be any one
To care and love?
So I want
To leave
A deep scratch
Of my mind
On the screen
Of the world
And walk along
With all bards
After my death
Hundreds of years
On soiled paths
And metal streets
Without my limbs
Blood and flesh
In haunting houses
And Joyous classes,
Make them feel
My hovering spirit
In emotional moments
In acts and deeds
Soothing souls
And agitated minds.

The Greatest Birthday
'Glory to God in the highest
And on earth peace good will toward men'
Born unto a virgin was God's only begotten Son
Emmanuel (God with us) is the title of The One
Mary's father was of Judah, the linage of a king
Mary's mother was a Levite, from Aaron's priestly string
The world beheld a brilliant star a shining in the east
The sign of Christ, The King of Kings, Lord of Lords, and High Priest
'Glory to God in the highest
And on earth peace good will toward men'
Shepherds in the field keeping watch over their flock at night
The angel of the Lord appeared and gave them such a fright
'Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy'
For unto you is born this day, a Savior, Christ the Roi
The Babe is wrapped in swaddling clothes, a lying in the hay
Heavenly host gave praise to God on the greatest birthday
'Glory to God in the highest
And on earth peace good will toward men'
And on earth peace good will toward men'

Picking Diamonds
I was picking diamonds from the heavens
When my hair got tangled with the stars in the breeze
Fireflies reached up in glee too, their soft glow dancing
Singing our mirth awash with moon-paint, I smiled
Then the night tugged gently, pulling away the sky
For the dawn to stroll in, with her show-stopper colors
The diamonds in my hands were spilling their brilliance
Reaching down to earth, to jewel my silent hopes
I learned to fly with the winds on rapture
Their swoosh, music to my hopes on wish-pegs
They warm themselves in the summer-sun promises
Waiting to burst alive on my future rainbows
Some nomads we pick treasures from the future
The skies and nature our only witness
We walk with them prized in our hunting bags
Carrying hope in its precious revered status...

Know Your Height
When shadows spread to miles to darken lesser worlds,
When eyes stare sky while measure your heights,
Know that you have grown too huge for this world;
When mortals shrink or fear to tune to your heart,
When scattered minds flock to outweigh your from,
Know that you outgrew the reach of tattered mass.
The sparkles of gold outshine base metals
And spawn sweet discords in dull, mean world;
The flash of divine light breaches the sheet of supine night
And overawes the world deep in sleepy oblivion;
You give shocks to awake needs and all stability rocks
While you rise like hunger pangs in digest stomach.
Hearts meet, minds bind, almost equal heights,
While frown under heights and over heights too
Like cattle in a herd loathe all intruders;
Instincts unwind defense and instant attacks too
In blind response to high notes inside the herds
Unless instated to guide and lead from outside.
Unlike cats, no tigers catch rats in dark holes,
Unlike thorny shrubs, no tall trees fence paths,
Unlike shooting stars, no stars sink in dark heaven;
Unlike herd, you pace the world in measured strides
And stand apart from the herd's blind passage
What rouses resentments and ultimate wake.
Change your stripes to meet lesser mortals,
Wear lesser masks ato seek lay approbations,
Where absorbs you every contented creature
To his backdoor of market-place systems
Like crows do for young cuckoo-off springs
As their own, till croaks contrast sweet melodies.
They pull down tall towers to disprove dwarfness,
They foul noble works to feed own hollow selves,
They rouse huge billows of black cold smokes
They cloud your charms and spread wild spectre
Of what isn't there and what never be any where,
In myopic eyes those shy bright sunshine.
Like fresh grapes thrown to rotten-fruit dustbin,
You sour faster that all the dumped fruits;
Like pretty roses blossom between prickly thorns,
You while away untouched, uncared by unwise world;
For, while rise beyond the herd, you are its part,
And, while you are a part, suffer resentments.
Know your height, know your strengths from the holes you live in.
Where rodents in thousands run all over you;
Know your spikes, know the torch you hold
By the moves of rodents to reach and strike your self;
Rats are rats that seek to punch holes any where
While you must stand high beyond the rat-ridden holes.
No holes limits height, no sky limits growth,
No herd binds anywhere, no billow clouds charm
If you be the same who carve your path
And rise in confidence in herd or out of herd
Like the Sun who runs through East and west
In own fierce resolve in joyous abandonment.
Fear not gulfs, fear not resentments,
Fear not attempts to restrain your growth,
To force your pace with the brigade in slow-march;
Today you are here, tomorrow somewhere,
While the march you make follows you any where
In this world and out of this world.
When eyes stare sky while measure your heights,
Know that you have grown too huge for this world;
When mortals shrink or fear to tune to your heart,
When scattered minds flock to outweigh your from,
Know that you outgrew the reach of tattered mass.
The sparkles of gold outshine base metals
And spawn sweet discords in dull, mean world;
The flash of divine light breaches the sheet of supine night
And overawes the world deep in sleepy oblivion;
You give shocks to awake needs and all stability rocks
While you rise like hunger pangs in digest stomach.
Hearts meet, minds bind, almost equal heights,
While frown under heights and over heights too
Like cattle in a herd loathe all intruders;
Instincts unwind defense and instant attacks too
In blind response to high notes inside the herds
Unless instated to guide and lead from outside.
Unlike cats, no tigers catch rats in dark holes,
Unlike thorny shrubs, no tall trees fence paths,
Unlike shooting stars, no stars sink in dark heaven;
Unlike herd, you pace the world in measured strides
And stand apart from the herd's blind passage
What rouses resentments and ultimate wake.
Change your stripes to meet lesser mortals,
Wear lesser masks ato seek lay approbations,
Where absorbs you every contented creature
To his backdoor of market-place systems
Like crows do for young cuckoo-off springs
As their own, till croaks contrast sweet melodies.
They pull down tall towers to disprove dwarfness,
They foul noble works to feed own hollow selves,
They rouse huge billows of black cold smokes
They cloud your charms and spread wild spectre
Of what isn't there and what never be any where,
In myopic eyes those shy bright sunshine.
Like fresh grapes thrown to rotten-fruit dustbin,
You sour faster that all the dumped fruits;
Like pretty roses blossom between prickly thorns,
You while away untouched, uncared by unwise world;
For, while rise beyond the herd, you are its part,
And, while you are a part, suffer resentments.
Know your height, know your strengths from the holes you live in.
Where rodents in thousands run all over you;
Know your spikes, know the torch you hold

Rats are rats that seek to punch holes any where
While you must stand high beyond the rat-ridden holes.
No holes limits height, no sky limits growth,
No herd binds anywhere, no billow clouds charm

And rise in confidence in herd or out of herd
Like the Sun who runs through East and west
In own fierce resolve in joyous abandonment.
Fear not gulfs, fear not resentments,
Fear not attempts to restrain your growth,
To force your pace with the brigade in slow-march;
Today you are here, tomorrow somewhere,
While the march you make follows you any where
In this world and out of this world.
Dream Land
By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule-
From a wild clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of SPACE- out of TIME.
Bottomless vales and boundless floods,
And chasms, and caves, and Titan woods,
With forms that no man can discover
For the tears that drip all over;
Mountains toppling evermore
Into seas without a shore;
Seas that restlessly aspire,
Surging, unto skies of fire;
Lakes that endlessly outspread
Their lone waters- lone and dead,-
Their still waters- still and chilly
With the snows of the lolling lily.
By the lakes that thus outspread
Their lone waters, lone and dead,-
Their sad waters, sad and chilly
With the snows of the lolling lily,-
By the mountains- near the river
Murmuring lowly, murmuring ever,-
By the grey woods,- by the swamp
Where the toad and the newt encamp-
By the dismal tarns and pools
Where dwell the Ghouls,-
By each spot the most unholy-
In each nook most melancholy-
There the traveler meets aghast
Sheeted Memories of the Past-
Shrouded forms that start and sigh
As they pass the wanderer by-
White-robed forms of friends long given,
In agony, to the Earth- and Heaven.
For the heart whose woes are legion
'Tis a peaceful, soothing region-
For the spirit that walks in shadow
'Tis- oh, 'tis an Eldorado!
But the traveler, traveling through it,
May not- dare not openly view it!
Never its mysteries are exposed
To the weak human eye unclosed;
So wills its King, who hath forbid
The uplifting of the fringed lid;
And thus the sad Soul that here passes
Beholds it but through darkened glasses.

Angel Of Death
In darkness of the night
I spied him in a tree
Sat I froze by the sight
He was looking at me
The summer's heat became a chill
The angel of death at his kill
My heart skipped with the fright
Blinked my eyes to better see
Glanced back with all my might
Parted he my company
My chest was quickly pounding still
The angel of death at his kill
I did rise and take flight
The fear made me to flee
From darkness into light
To free captivity
Unbinding my soul from his will
The angel of death at his kill
Many years since that night
Gazed I on that brazen be
Memories of still incite
Fears of my slavery
Existence of him makes me ill
The angel of death at his kill
I spied him in a tree
Sat I froze by the sight
He was looking at me
The summer's heat became a chill
The angel of death at his kill
My heart skipped with the fright
Blinked my eyes to better see
Glanced back with all my might
Parted he my company
My chest was quickly pounding still
The angel of death at his kill
I did rise and take flight
The fear made me to flee
From darkness into light
To free captivity
Unbinding my soul from his will
The angel of death at his kill
Many years since that night
Gazed I on that brazen be
Memories of still incite
Fears of my slavery
Existence of him makes me ill
The angel of death at his kill
Prayer For Father
Lord, Shepherd my dad today
In green pastures let him lay
To still waters guide his way
Restore his soul, I pray
Lead him in the paths of right
Through the valley give him light
When he's afraid ease his fright
With Thy rod and staff lend might
Prepare a table of spoil
Anoint his head with oil
Give to him a cup that's royal
Let goodness follow his toil
And Thy mercy cease never
May he dwell in Thy house forever
This I ask in Jesus' name, Amen
In green pastures let him lay
To still waters guide his way
Restore his soul, I pray
Lead him in the paths of right
Through the valley give him light
When he's afraid ease his fright
With Thy rod and staff lend might
Prepare a table of spoil
Anoint his head with oil
Give to him a cup that's royal
Let goodness follow his toil
And Thy mercy cease never
May he dwell in Thy house forever
This I ask in Jesus' name, Amen
Weight Of Love
I once was asked concerning love versus hate
Why does it seem that hate is so great?
While hate is a very strong emotion too
Nothing can equal love that is true
The weight of hate is very heavy to bear
While it seems like love is lighter than air
Accounts of hate make a big news headline
While actions of love you must look hard to find
But when you consider that love is patient, kind,
Envieth not, not pompous, not puffed up, not rude,
Seeketh not her own, slow to anger, thinks no evil,
Rejoices not in wrong doing, but rejoices in the truth,
Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things,
Endures all things, and never fails*
You soon learn that the density of love is so much,
Although the scales be heaped with a great volume of hate
It's catapulted by a mere measure of love's touch,
Love strengthens the bearer so one feels not its weight

The Detached
We die,
Welcoming Bluebeards to our darkening closets,
Stranglers to our outstretched necks,
Stranglers, who neither care nor
care to know that
DEATH IS INTERNAL.
We pray,
Savoring sweet the teethed lies,
Bellying the grounds before alien gods,
Gods, who neither know nor
wish to know that
HELL IS INTERNAL.
We love,
Rubbing the nakedness with gloved hands,
Inverting our mouths in tongued kisses,
Kisses that neither touch nor
care to touch if
LOVE IS INTERNAL

Still I Rise
When the pains of life pins me to the pabble,
and l have none to come to my rescue;
still l rise.
When the sorrows of life saddles me to the sand,
and l have none to console me;
still l rise.
When the agony of life aggravates me to aches,
and l have none to awake my spirit;
still l rise.
and l have none to come to my rescue;
still l rise.
When the sorrows of life saddles me to the sand,
and l have none to console me;
still l rise.
When the agony of life aggravates me to aches,
and l have none to awake my spirit;
still l rise.
Excellency Of Women
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.

The Beauty Of A Poem
The beauty of a poem
The beauty of music
The beauty of light
The beauty of life
The beauty which makes us want to live life more
The beauty which pains us inside
The beauty in longing.
The beauty we come upon by surprise
The beauty of the day and the beauty of the night
The beauty we all have inside us
The beauty we can see and feel and never explain
The beauty that lifts us up
The beauty that makes us want to live more
The beauty that makes us reach out to God
The beauty we want to thank God for
The beauty of lilacs
The beauty of autumn leaves
The beauty of the people we love
The beauty that pervades life
The beauty that turns away from us
And will not let us be a part of it
The beauty we hold on to fragility
As a driven leaf
The beauty the beauty the beauty
Oh life oh God of goodness oh death
The beauty we can never see
And the Beauty within us all
Oh God
The Beauty in us and Beyond us all.
The beauty of music
The beauty of light
The beauty of life
The beauty which makes us want to live life more
The beauty which pains us inside
The beauty in longing.
The beauty we come upon by surprise
The beauty of the day and the beauty of the night
The beauty we all have inside us
The beauty we can see and feel and never explain
The beauty that lifts us up
The beauty that makes us want to live more
The beauty that makes us reach out to God
The beauty we want to thank God for
The beauty of lilacs
The beauty of autumn leaves
The beauty of the people we love
The beauty that pervades life
The beauty that turns away from us
And will not let us be a part of it
The beauty we hold on to fragility
As a driven leaf
The beauty the beauty the beauty
Oh life oh God of goodness oh death
The beauty we can never see
And the Beauty within us all
Oh God
The Beauty in us and Beyond us all.
This Mind Of Mine
What is this mind of mine?
Like a flickering flame in wind,
fueled by occurrence and whim.
Desperately searching for signs...
of what?
Effortlessly extinguished
through probability and risk.
What is this consciousness?
Like the strings of a puppeteer,
driven by instincts and fear.
Roaming lands of loneliness…
to where?
Perpetually sparked
by science, philosophy, and art:
This is my mind.

Desire For Trust
The thing that really grinds my gears
Is the truth that they don't see
If a guy truly cares
Then the problem must be me
They know me well enough to judge
So please go ahead to that
If you do not like my love
Then lay me right out flat
I wish that they could simply see
That i would never harm
I only want some time
To hold her in my arms
Think long and hard about what you do
Before it is to late
I beg you please before you choose
Think deeply before debate
I know she is your daughter and all
Protect her with all your might
You know me for who I am
Think about it twice
I don't see what she did wrong
So why put it on her
I don't see what I did wrong
So please explain to me sir
I don't know how it came to be
What it is right now
But i will sit here waiting to see
If she will ever come back
If not then you win inside
However my feelings will not die
I will always truly care
For her no matter what
So theres no killing that feeling i have
Unless you end my life
If you really want that to happen
Then please do end my strife
Because with the thought that you don't like
Me to be around her
Makes me wonder if you think
That i am not good enough for your daughter
The same girl i would give anything to
The same girl i would do anything for
The same girl that i would love to see
However the decision is up to thee
I will forever wait
For her to come to come to me
If she decides not to come
Then that's her choice to be
Is the truth that they don't see
If a guy truly cares
Then the problem must be me
They know me well enough to judge
So please go ahead to that
If you do not like my love
Then lay me right out flat
I wish that they could simply see
That i would never harm
I only want some time
To hold her in my arms

Quest For Love
Looking straight at this girl
Her beauty is beyond my sight
Her eyes glistening brown
Thinking of her day and night
Her silky brown hair shines bright
I can see her in my mind
Never has she faded from my sight
I would never leave her behind
Her face is the most gorgeous thing
That i have ever seen
More beautiful than sunrise or sunset
And anything in between
The thing that kills me the most
Is seeing her upset
I wish that i could help her out
Id do anything so she would get
Up on her feet away from sorrow
I hate it when i see her that way
If its my heart she needs to borrow
Ill simply throw it her way
I don't think she knows how much I care
I just want her to have the best life
One with only the happy times
No pain, no sorrow, no strife
If i could just spend one day with her
I would make it her best
I would treat each moment as if the last
And forever hold it in my chest
Deep down inside my heart
Never coming out
I will wait forever if she needs
No reason for me to pout
This is because i simply see
She is one of a kind
If she was not important to me
I would not be up writeing at this time
I simply just wanted to let her know
That she is very special
Always be number one in my eyes
No matter where I go
Its never too far away
When you really care
If you really think about it
I will always be there
Standing right beside you
No matter what you do
Choices you will make
Won't effect my opinion of you
Like i said before babe
The choices are yours to make
I will always have time for you
No matter what it takes
Lost In Love
There was this one guy
Which he had never lied
To this one girl
That had his heart in a twirl
You know it started off great
His heart to her heart were sealed fate
Nothing ever got in the way
Not one single thing anyone could say
You know why this is so true
They never let the color blue
Slip up into their relationship
Never once did either heart rip
The base of their love and marriage
Couldn't be broken by any barrage
They always stayed trustworthy and true
Never ran away and always stuck through
Any little fights that they got in
Running away is the biggest sin
That you can commit when in a little fight
Think about it, calm down, then make it right
Thats what they did and it worked out
They thought and thought all the time about
This one very day being their last
They treated time with each other so slow, not fast
Made everything seem precious and kind
Appreciated every last dime
Everything give and take
Always giving each other breaks
Never letting go no matter what
Nothing could break them not even the sharpest cut
More solid then the ground we stand on
Loving more and more as they were drawn
Closer and closer to each other
Every day brought yet another
Warm and loving memory
Always made them count don't you see
This was important for them to be
Together through every moment because he
No longer than a week later to that day
Was walking along on his way
Back home from work down the street
All of a sudden he couldn't see
He couldn't even move or react
Before he knew it he got attacked
Beat down by some back alley crew
Just because they were told to
Find anyone to make them fear
So they wouldn't go out of style that year
As he was getting beat down and tossed aside
All he could think of was his wife as he cried
He didn't want it to end this way
Never thought that it would to this day
He could not believe as he felt his chest
He had been stabbed right through his vest
Blood pouring out on the floor
Screaming for help and just before
He was about to give up he heard a yell
It was his wife's voice as his vision swelled
He was no longer able to speak
As his wife ran up to him and brushed his cheek
Yelled at him to stay alive
She needed him so they could both strive
Right on through life the way they were
Without him everything would be a blur
As she is holding him in her hands
Down on her knees dirt and sand
She sees the savior car
Gets off her knees and goes bizarre
Yells to the ambulance that she needs their help
Up on the stretcher he went as she yelped
In so much pain she almost passed out
She didn't know what this was about
Why did he get chosen on this day
To be some random crews prey
Arrived at the emergency tomb
Was told to wait outside in the waiting room
That was the worst feeling in the world
Her not knowing if his life simply curled
Up into a little ball
Thrown away no longer standing tall
So as she sat out there and prayed
She said none ever on this earth could say
The right things at the right times like he did
Always was there and never hid
No matter how tough the times were
He always was there for her
Never once left her side
Working hard just to get them by
Then the doctor came out with a look on his face
Said he didn't make it through the race
Just then she screamed out in tears
Never once through all these years
Has it ever been this painful for her
Everything going so fast, a mental blur
So as she was going through this hell
She was driven back to her dwell
Then as she sat outside alone on the stairs
Staring up into the sky through the cold air
She saw about two hundred shooting stars
Tried not to think about her mental scars
Just then in the sky
There was the face of this one guy
That had always been there in any stir
Promised he would watch over her
So thats exactly what he did
Never held back and never hid
Just because she knew that he
Wanted her to be the best she could be
So you know that even though
They are apart it goes to show
That if you truly love and care
Always be there and always share
Every moment make it slow not fast
You never know when it might be your last
Don't grudge or mourn with that said
Or you might be the one wound up dead
Just appreciate your partner for what they are
Make them feel like the only star
Always get over the stupid fights
Never let your love out of your heights
Always have her close enough in your reach
So when she needs to give a speech
About what she is feeling and whats going on
You can be there to help her so don't you pawn
Your love or anything that is giving to you
For anything in the world, because its true
Nothing is more precious than loyalty and trust
So stay together happier than ever thats a must
Which he had never lied
To this one girl
That had his heart in a twirl
You know it started off great
His heart to her heart were sealed fate
Nothing ever got in the way
Not one single thing anyone could say
You know why this is so true
They never let the color blue
Slip up into their relationship
Never once did either heart rip
The base of their love and marriage
Couldn't be broken by any barrage
They always stayed trustworthy and true
Never ran away and always stuck through
Any little fights that they got in
Running away is the biggest sin
That you can commit when in a little fight

He was about to give up he heard a yell
It was his wife's voice as his vision swelled
He was no longer able to speak
As his wife ran up to him and brushed his cheek
Yelled at him to stay alive
She needed him so they could both strive
Right on through life the way they were
Without him everything would be a blur
As she is holding him in her hands
Down on her knees dirt and sand
She sees the savior car
Gets off her knees and goes bizarre
Yells to the ambulance that she needs their help
Up on the stretcher he went as she yelped
In so much pain she almost passed out
She didn't know what this was about
Why did he get chosen on this day
To be some random crews prey
Arrived at the emergency tomb
Was told to wait outside in the waiting room
That was the worst feeling in the world
Her not knowing if his life simply curled
Up into a little ball
Thrown away no longer standing tall
So as she sat out there and prayed
She said none ever on this earth could say
The right things at the right times like he did
Always was there and never hid
No matter how tough the times were
He always was there for her
Never once left her side
Working hard just to get them by
Then the doctor came out with a look on his face
Said he didn't make it through the race
Just then she screamed out in tears
Never once through all these years
Has it ever been this painful for her
Everything going so fast, a mental blur
So as she was going through this hell
She was driven back to her dwell
Then as she sat outside alone on the stairs
Staring up into the sky through the cold air
She saw about two hundred shooting stars
Tried not to think about her mental scars
Just then in the sky
There was the face of this one guy
That had always been there in any stir
Promised he would watch over her
So thats exactly what he did
Never held back and never hid
Just because she knew that he
Wanted her to be the best she could be
So you know that even though
They are apart it goes to show
That if you truly love and care
Always be there and always share
Every moment make it slow not fast
You never know when it might be your last
Don't grudge or mourn with that said
Or you might be the one wound up dead
Just appreciate your partner for what they are
Make them feel like the only star
Always get over the stupid fights
Never let your love out of your heights
Always have her close enough in your reach
So when she needs to give a speech
About what she is feeling and whats going on
You can be there to help her so don't you pawn
Your love or anything that is giving to you
For anything in the world, because its true
Nothing is more precious than loyalty and trust
So stay together happier than ever thats a must
Life Is Precious
I wish you could see into my mind
To hear me out just this one time
It's thoughts like these that I wish i could share
To all of those people that truly care
We as humans are used to taking things on slow
Piece by piece blow by blow
So when something happens right then and there
Such as a loved one that simply disappears
Your mind and body becomes filled with hate
No longer believing in life or fate
Nothing is meant to happen so quick
We are not emotionally built for that shit
Life is full of pain and stress
The worst always happens to the best
Im not even sure if there is a heaven or hell
Only time will be able to tell
Heaven and Hell is what they say
The two places of afterlife where you will stay
How do you know this was not made up in the past
Passed down generation to generation so very fast
Have you ever taken the time to think about that
These two places in your mind holding you back
What happens if you never take a chance
A leap of faith, or a devilish dance
All I'm saying is to live your life the best you can
Do everything you want to do before your time plan
Has expired with no more time on your soul
Nothing is yours but its all borrowed
I say that because life is not promised on any day
Make sure you don't ever leave loved ones stranded at bay
Cherish every moment that you get
Make it count and never forget
Memories and times that you will make
You see those are the only things that will never break
Its the only thing that gets you through
Every single day you think of them
You think of how they would want you to live
You think of things you did they could never forgive
Now you wish that you could rewind time back
Just to get your life back on track
Too bad once you make a choice your stuck with it
When something happens so quick
You have nothing that you can say or do
Feeling so useless, get in the cue
Because its not only you that feels that way
You see like i said in the beginning to this day
No one ever thinks about absolute things in their heart
Well change that now its time to start
How precious are your loved ones to you?
How precious would your time be if you knew
The exact second that you were going to die
Would you spend your time differently or even try
To do things differently and make less enemies
To cherish the time that you get
To live life to your fullest with no regret
- LIVE IT DOWN, or Don't Live it at all-
To hear me out just this one time
It's thoughts like these that I wish i could share
To all of those people that truly care
We as humans are used to taking things on slow
Piece by piece blow by blow

Choice Of Life
Yeah just do what they said
Smoke that shit till your dead
Is that what you want your life to be?
I don't know about you but that's too much for me
I do what i want whenever i feel
Its really not hard to say no, don't keep it inside you sealed
Let your voice be heard by every single soul
Just keep to your own life and reach your goals
Why would you even think of that
Mine as well meet your head with the full swing from a baseball bat
If they are telling you what to do
Now seriously, think of who is the fool
You follow their ways and their very footsteps
Just to fit into this world even when distressed
I'm telling you this here and now
Not everyone is friendly so don't make your vow
You will notice in life there are good and bad
Those that want to take you to make you glad
There are also those ones that are corrupt from the start
Those are the bastards that will get you shot dead in the heart
They will make it seem like they have your back
They are the ones that always yell attack
When you are ready to go in and fight
For the loyalty of that so called friend with all your might
As you get beat down to the floor
You know what he does? runs for the door
Now who do you really call for
The ones you left behind way before?
The ones that let you speak your mind
The ones that let you stay behind
The ones that led you through your life
The ones that made you smile, even when in the greatest strife
So this is what you have to do
Don't let them get anywhere near you
Just do me a favor and live your life the way you want
Don't let them get to you, not even their taunts
Just push them far far away
If they don't let you say
What you want to when you do
Cause if they don't you are in for a true
Hell like place full of mistakes
Only because you followed them and picked up that rake
You took it and put it to use
Now you murdered a guy, good game you lose
That is why you must say goodbye
To anyone that wont let you speak out and try
Doing things on your own is good
As long as you know why and its understood
So live your life to the fullest extent
Don't take your life and make a big dent
Right in the center of your warm bloody heart
Next time turn away, come on be smart
Smoke that shit till your dead
Is that what you want your life to be?
I don't know about you but that's too much for me
I do what i want whenever i feel
Its really not hard to say no, don't keep it inside you sealed
Let your voice be heard by every single soul
Just keep to your own life and reach your goals
Why would you even think of that
Mine as well meet your head with the full swing from a baseball bat
If they are telling you what to do
Now seriously, think of who is the fool
You follow their ways and their very footsteps

The ones that let you speak your mind
The ones that let you stay behind
The ones that led you through your life

Next time turn away, come on be smart
Power Of Mindset
Do me a favor and take the time
To read these thoughts of mine
Please take them all to heart
They are all tearing me apart
I need some guidance from above
I am lost and confused, have no more love
For anyone or anything
Only hanging on by a string
I am working so hard just to get by
Fighting to live not to die
Guess what though that's not true
Everything I fight for will die too
Sooner than you would think
Time flies by so fast, don't blink
I feel like everything i do
Is as useless as my own view
Through my eyes I can only see so far
Through the brain you can see beyond the stars
So I do just that and think only the real
Agony, suffering, and pain is all i can feel
So many people around me every day
Yet I feel like I'm alone with nothing to say
Always lost and always confused
Mistreated, bruised, and misused
No one cares about what I have to say
What I think about anything to this day
My words and thoughts go in your ear
Then right back out the other just to disappear
I wish someone would listen to me just one time
Take me seriously in this rhyme
I want you to take off your shoes
Put on mine and look around through my views
I would like to see how you get by
Sitting there every day getting high
Think that will pass the day
Then before bed at night sit and pray
Pray for the loved ones that you have close
Never let them drift away like a ghost
This is how I treat all the others
I get nothing in return as it smothers
My heart getting dull with no more feeling
Find myself down and never healing
From these scars that are internal
Forever burning like a corrupted infernal
Finding myself getting less sleep every night
Don't worry about me ill be alright
That's what I will tell you if you ask
Only because you don't need this tedious task
To help me though all of my struggles
They are mine not yours to juggle
If i am to give up or fail
Please don't try to follow my trail
You need to keep on going strong
This is my fate don't get me wrong
Just hear me out and see through my mask
Don't ever hesitate to ask
If you have something on your mind
Spit it out because you can never rewind
You can never go back and fix mistakes
Only going forward to more and more aches
This is how I feel
This is me, This is real
There's nothing I can say or do
To change how I grew
Into this cold and lonely state
Not ever being able to see straight
There is way too much weight
I have to carry along on my plate
So as I hold all this stress up high
Waiting for it to pass me by
Everything that i get
Puts me deeper into debt
Nothing in life is promised on any day
Life goes so fast there's never a delay
Getting older by the hour
Falling apart like the two towers
That the government always lies about
Twisting our minds there is no doubt
All the news that we take in
You believe that crap? I can't even begin
To explain my thoughts about all that
Why are we still over there in combat?
Uncle Sam wants your blood for oil
Fighting over in the desert soils
Why are we even fighting at that?
Why did the towers fall down flat?
We are all of the same kind
Born onto this earth gifted with a mind
That can shift and shape anything around
All living on the same ground
Stop acting like selfish pricks
Lets all work together before time ticks
Down to its last seconds when the sun burns out
Then were all fucked there's no doubt
We need to look to the bigger issues
Wipe up the smaller ones with tissues
No need to fight over money and greed
That's exactly why we all lead
The life that we do rich or poor
Every day trying to find the cure
To unknown diseases that people get
The world itself is the biggest threat
The bacteria and natural corruption
Is what we need to worry about without interruption
Now you know most of how I think
They come to me in thick blank ink
I don't know how or why
Take what i said in vein or leave it to die
Its your choice on what you do
Its your life not mine to choose
Just don't mess up, there's no going back
Once you are lost you stay off track
To read these thoughts of mine
Please take them all to heart
They are all tearing me apart
I need some guidance from above
I am lost and confused, have no more love
For anyone or anything
Only hanging on by a string
I am working so hard just to get by
Fighting to live not to die

Everything I fight for will die too

Memories Of Love
Every time i think of your precious face
Every time i think of you its the only place
I want to be
Right next to you
Instead l'm over here fighting a war
Defending the country every tour
That they send me on
I'm always gone
Baby please wait up for me
I promise ill be back for you
Just hold on tight
Ill be alright
I think of you every single night
I think of the times we used to fight
I love you more
Than ever before
I miss that pretty little smile
That made every day worth its wild
Seems just yesterday
That I saw your face
I'm going through hell over here
Wish that i could hear your voice
As I cry these tears
Just four more years
I miss the way that you felt in my arms
I miss the way that you played the guitar
Every single night
I have to fight
For the freedom of the Red, White, and Blue
Its the choice i choose noone forced me to
Ill be ok
I promise babe
When its all over and I come back home
You will no longer be alone
But in my arms
Out of harm
Then ill go get that diamond ring
Fall to my knees propose and sing
Will you marry me
Just think baby
I promise I'm not going anywhere
I'm going to stay to care
For our family
That's soon to be
I just wanted to tell you that your my world
Ill give you anything you want girl
Just stay with me
Don't leave my side
Every time i think of you its the only place
I want to be
Right next to you
Instead l'm over here fighting a war
Defending the country every tour
That they send me on
I'm always gone
Baby please wait up for me
I promise ill be back for you
Just hold on tight
Ill be alright
I think of you every single night
I think of the times we used to fight
I love you more
Than ever before

Darkness Or Light
Darkness seeps right into the ground
Light from the holy sky shines down
The two paths that you can choose
We are right in the middle, win or lose
So fall into the dark hole
With the devil and sell your soul
Do things wrong and hurt others
You will meet the devils brothers
They are always walking around
In human form not making a sound
Until they have the chance to strike
Then they do it and make it right
They will take the warmest of hearts
Tie them up and then throw the darts
straight into their heart, thats their goal
Leaving only pain and hatred in their soul
So when the devil takes over your mother
Cleanse her soul, let him take another
Keep him out of your reach
So that he can not even get close to teach
All of his evil plans
So that he can take over earth and man
You want to be a slave to him
Choose the path of dark and sin
Then there is the path of light
Choose this one and you chose right
God always has a trick up his sleeves
Just wait and see don't disbelieve
He is there just waiting to strike
In human form protecting our rights
Never gives up on our righteous souls
After all he is the creator of goals
So choose the right way to lead
Don't follow those that choose with speed
Think about it before you act
You must at least try before your attacked
By the devils minions when god can't help
Blocked out by the barrier even when you yelp
He can't hear your call way up there
Because the devil is trying to make you hear
Everything that is evil and pure
Everything that has to do with war
He wants us all to fight against
Each other as if the only test
Is to see who is the better of all
We are all humans so stand up tall
Fight as one against his force
I promise you wont ever feel remorse
For choosing to fight all together
No one separated in any weather
Help each other out is what god would do
So please take that to your mind to brew
Now that i have told you of dark and light
Will you keep peace or will you fight
God or the devil take your pick
Don't choose wrong but be slick
Light from the holy sky shines down
The two paths that you can choose
We are right in the middle, win or lose
So fall into the dark hole
With the devil and sell your soul
Do things wrong and hurt others
You will meet the devils brothers
They are always walking around
In human form not making a sound
Until they have the chance to strike
Then they do it and make it right
They will take the warmest of hearts
Tie them up and then throw the darts
straight into their heart, thats their goal

So that he can take over earth and man
You want to be a slave to him
Choose the path of dark and sin
Then there is the path of light
Choose this one and you chose right
God always has a trick up his sleeves
Just wait and see don't disbelieve
He is there just waiting to strike
In human form protecting our rights
Never gives up on our righteous souls
After all he is the creator of goals
So choose the right way to lead
Don't follow those that choose with speed

Better Off Alone
All these thoughts they make no sense
I love you but, regret
All of the time i spent on you
You lied to me and cheated too
So I'm better off by myself
I can not even see
I'm better off by myself
I will never be me
I'm better off by myself
Living my life alone
I'm better off by myself
No more screams or shouts or moans
The person that i used to be
I don't know where he went
I cant make decisions anymore
I think my time is spent
Its your beauty that i miss the most
How could you be so evil
I don't understand what I did
To make you feel this way
All i ever did was care
About you all the time
All i ever did was share
My heart that i can't find
You ripped it straight from my chest
No longer does it beat
You killed my heart forever now
The pain is beyond belief
Cause I'm better off by myself
With no one by my side
I'm better off by myself
With nothing to hide
I'm better off by myself
Standing here alone
I'm better off by myself
With nothing else but home
So heres my thoughts that go out to you
I can't believe what you did
Why would think to scoop that low
Please explain to me
What the hell went through your head
Now i know we're not meant to be
What happens in this life of mine
Is no longer you and me
Please let me know if you think
I was not the man for you
Why didn't you tell me that before
I got hooked to your love
Now I can't take it back
The words i said to you
All the kisses and hugs i threw
Right up onto you
Those times that I would hold you tight
Never letting go
Telling you everythings alright
But now where do i go
Should I run far away from you
Where I wont see your face
The hurt you caused me inside
Makes me want to erase
My thoughts and any detail of you
Because it hurts so bad
I don't know where things went wrong
You left me here so sad
So I'm better off by myself
Love i can't forget
I'm better off by myself
Living with no regret
Yeah i said I'm better off by myself
Your lies i could not see
I'm better off on my own
I guess we weren't mean to be
So I will live far away from here
On my own you see
I will never crawl back to you
You left me out at sea
No longer will I try to care
No matter the hurt you caused
No longer will i try to share
No longer will you know
Anything that happens in my life
You won't know where I went
You did this to yourself you know
When you put me down
Threw me aside just like that
Never thought i would find out
That you were cheating and lying to me
That's what this is about
Oh i said I'm better off on my own
Lies that are no more
I'm better off own my own
My heart forever torn
I'm better off on my own
These feelings i hide inside
I'm better off own my own
You no longer by my side.
I love you but, regret
All of the time i spent on you
You lied to me and cheated too
So I'm better off by myself
I can not even see
I'm better off by myself
I will never be me
I'm better off by myself
Living my life alone
I'm better off by myself
No more screams or shouts or moans
The person that i used to be
I don't know where he went
I cant make decisions anymore
I think my time is spent
Its your beauty that i miss the most
How could you be so evil
I don't understand what I did
To make you feel this way
All i ever did was care
About you all the time
All i ever did was share
My heart that i can't find
You ripped it straight from my chest
No longer does it beat
You killed my heart forever now
The pain is beyond belief
Cause I'm better off by myself
With no one by my side
I'm better off by myself
With nothing to hide
I'm better off by myself
Standing here alone
I'm better off by myself
With nothing else but home
So heres my thoughts that go out to you
I can't believe what you did
Why would think to scoop that low
Please explain to me
What the hell went through your head
Now i know we're not meant to be
What happens in this life of mine
Is no longer you and me
Please let me know if you think
I was not the man for you
Why didn't you tell me that before
I got hooked to your love
Now I can't take it back
The words i said to you
All the kisses and hugs i threw
Right up onto you
Those times that I would hold you tight
Never letting go
Telling you everythings alright
But now where do i go
Should I run far away from you
Where I wont see your face
The hurt you caused me inside
Makes me want to erase
My thoughts and any detail of you
Because it hurts so bad
I don't know where things went wrong
You left me here so sad
So I'm better off by myself
Love i can't forget
I'm better off by myself
Living with no regret
Yeah i said I'm better off by myself
Your lies i could not see
I'm better off on my own
I guess we weren't mean to be
So I will live far away from here
On my own you see
I will never crawl back to you
You left me out at sea
No longer will I try to care
No matter the hurt you caused
No longer will i try to share
No longer will you know
Anything that happens in my life
You won't know where I went
You did this to yourself you know
When you put me down
Threw me aside just like that
Never thought i would find out
That you were cheating and lying to me
That's what this is about
Oh i said I'm better off on my own
Lies that are no more
I'm better off own my own
My heart forever torn
I'm better off on my own
These feelings i hide inside
I'm better off own my own
You no longer by my side.
Heaven Or Hell
Why is this life so hard
Filled with pressure and scars
Living just to go through
All this bullshit that leads you to
Eventually break down and cry
No one to help you wondering why
You were giving this blessing or curse
Thinking for the better but it only gets worse
Look ahead to your life and see
That your future is to simply be
In either a casket or a urn
This pain should not be my concern
I just want to pass time by
Get through every day alive
Find someone to push me along
Have that one heart warming song
To share with that one very special girl
For some reason I can only curl
My heart up in an iron cage
Every year I see my age
Grow higher and higher to the sky
No going back now just forward to die
So much going through my mind
I just wish sometimes I could rewind
Spending more time with people I love
The ones that are no longer here, but above
I don't know how to deal with this strife
It has me wanting to end my life
Have you ever thought of that
Just ending something without combat
No fighting and no fussing along
Just sitting there as you hear the bomb
Ticking away in your head
Your mind is suddenly fed
With all of the memories and good times
That you were about to leave behind
You see we all self destruct
Eventually you will feel sucked
Right into the twisted mind
That i am feeling right now behind
My cold and shallow outer shell
Thats all I'm judged for isn't it now
No one ever looks at whats inside
Well pain and agony is whats left to reside
Inside of my heart and soul
So leave me forever, alone
Let me go and never speak again
Now with this letter i will also end
A life that was giving to me
Such strife as i look down from this tree
All i can think of is all my friends
My family, the love of my life when
She actually cared about me
If she ever did don't you see
So many people are fake these days
Act yourself don't act your age
Now I'm going a little off subject
Here's my note and now its time to collect
My soul and my empty mind
Heaven or hell.. YOU DECIDE
Filled with pressure and scars
Living just to go through
All this bullshit that leads you to
Eventually break down and cry
No one to help you wondering why
You were giving this blessing or curse
Thinking for the better but it only gets worse
Look ahead to your life and see
That your future is to simply be
In either a casket or a urn
This pain should not be my concern

Death By Hours
As every hour goes by
Another person is yet to die
Just think about who it will be
It is random don't you see
The odds are against the ones that sin
Yes its true sometimes they win
The good ones that die on the other hand
You ask yourself why, you don't understand
Well this is how life is its cruel
We are nothing but gods creations and tools
Everyone is here for a reason you see
If its to give glory or cause misery
Life is just a waiting game
There is really only one true aim
To have the best time you can
So don't mourn but I'm telling you man
Look to the dark vast blue skies
Forget all of those little lies
They are up there waiting for you
Your family, friends, and pets too
They are here with you to guide you through
Make some decisions that will lead you to
Have a happier life than they ever did
Your guardian angels is what keeps you from sin
So please keep your head up high
Tough times will come and then they will fly
You will get through this life happy as can be
Just need to think of the positive and stay off your knees
I'm waiting for that day when i say bye to you
When i float up into the sky oh so blue
You know when that day comes to be
Please don't get sad but keep all the memories
I want you to be able to look back
I want you to be able to laugh
I want you to see everything clear
I don't want you to shed one single tear
Please stay strong in this world of confusion
Please put yourself in a happy illusion
Make every moment from now on count
Just stay happy and alive no matter the amount
Of pain and pressure that you go through
You can make it, i have always believed in you
You know i love you and it will never change
Don't forget that but keep it in vein

Distance Myself
Every time I try or even care about someone
Something happens that kills my love
Every time I try to get close
Something stops my wanting to go
Every time I try to help out
It only ends in screams and shouts
As much as I care it never matters
Its their very loved ones that always shatter
The smile that I wear on my face
The very smile they always seem to erase
I feel like I need to distance myself
From anyone that I want to help
Sometimes I wish I could just run far away
Somewhere that I would not have to deal with the days
I wish that it was that easy to do
I wish that someone else could see through my views
If you have not a clue
Sit back and listen ill show you
You know that feeling you get deep down inside
When someone leaves your life by surprise
Well picture that feeling that you get
Add the thought that your the reason they are upset
The catch is you did nothing wrong
You feel the hurt as if it was you all along
All you did was try to care
All you did was try to share
Share your heart with someone else
Their loved ones didn't like it so you fell
Guilt running throughout your mind
Wishing you could make it better instead of leaving it behind
Knowing that the only thing that you can do
Is to put distance between you two
Still feeling the same love for this person
Loving them no matter if your life worsens
Just hopeing and praying the best happens to her
Life was clear, now a mental blurr
Never knowing what it could of been
The darker side wins again
I guess the only thing to do
Is to distance myself from anything that moves
To a place alone where there's no one i can hurt
No family, No friends, just me and work
Working my life away day after day
Never being able to tell her and say
I miss the way that she smiled at me
I miss the way that things used to be
I miss feeling of her arms hugging me tight
I miss talking to her every night
I wish I didn't give up on her
I just didn't want things to get worse for her
Well with all that said, if you want shoot me dead
Forever holding her memories in the back of my head
Something happens that kills my love
Every time I try to get close
Something stops my wanting to go
Every time I try to help out
It only ends in screams and shouts
As much as I care it never matters
Its their very loved ones that always shatter
The smile that I wear on my face
The very smile they always seem to erase
I feel like I need to distance myself
From anyone that I want to help
Sometimes I wish I could just run far away

Rain Drops From Heaven
Tears swelling up in my eyes every night
Rain drops fall from heaven
Simply a walking disguise in the light
Rain drops fall from heaven
Wondering when i will be alright
Rain drops fall from heaven
Growing so weak no energy to fight
Rain drops fall from heaven
Losing all hope in my mind
Rain drops fall from heaven
Wishing that i could simply unwind
Rain drops fall from heaven
As time goes love makes me blind
Rain drops fall from heaven
Wishing i didn't have to leave her behind
Rain drops fall from heaven
Wanting to make everything right
Rain drops fall from heaven
Wishing i could see her in sight
Rain drops fall from heaven
Wishing I had the strength to fight
Rain drops fall from heaven
Wishing i could hold her tight
Rain drops fall from heaven
Never knowing if she remembers me
Rain drops fall from heaven
Never know if we were meant to be
Rain drops fall from heaven
Wishing i had more time to see
Rain drops fall from heaven
My family that always loved me
Rain drops fall from heaven
Thinking back to the times we had
Rain drops fall from heaven
Smiles and laughter but yet so sad
Rain drops fall from heaven
Just sitting here all alone
Rain drops fall from heaven
Wishing i was way back home
Rain drops fall from heaven
Now the only thing that is on my mind
Rain drops fall from heaven
Is the memories i have way back in time
Rain drops fall from heaven
The tears from my eyes and deep inside
Rain drops fall from heaven
Matches the drops that come from the sky
Rain drops fall from heaven
If you could even begin to wonder why
Rain drops fall from heaven
It is simply those tears from lies
Rain drops fall from heaven
Every time it rains i stare to the clouds
Rain drops fall from heaven
Hoping one day she will simply fall
Rain drops fall from heaven
Right into my arms where she belongs
Rain drops fall from heaven
So that i can sing her a song
Rain drops fall from heaven
A song that tells her how i feel
Rain drops fall from heaven
A song that is nothing but real
Rain drops fall from heaven
That will be the day that will bring me joy
Rain drops fall from heaven
Too bad it wont happen to this boy
Rain drops fall from my eyes 24/7
Rain drops fall from heaven
Simply a walking disguise in the light
Rain drops fall from heaven

Her Hidden Treasure
Her flame was only for the women –
Not for us unlucky men;
A weakness lay for feminine way:
To feel an even fairer skin
In silky slide.
Her lips were for the satin love that
Only flows from rising breast;
The creamy tan was not for man
To pull towards a chiselled chest
In weathered hide.
Her hidden treasure down below
Would shy away from macho length
And only rouse upon the blouse
Undone by other sapphic strength –
In time, inside!

Spring In Paris
The city's all a-shining
Beneath a fickle sun,
A gay young wind's a-blowing,
The little shower is done.
But the rain-drops still are clinging
And falling one by one --
Oh it's Paris, it's Paris,
And spring-time has begun.
I know the Bois is twinkling
In a sort of hazy sheen,
And down the Champs the gray old arch
Stands cold and still between.
But the walk is flecked with sunlight
Where the great acacias lean,
Oh it's Paris, it's Paris,
And the leaves are growing green.
The sun's gone in, the sparkle's dead,
There falls a dash of rain,
But who would care when such an air
Comes blowing up the Seine?
And still Ninette sits sewing
Beside her window-pane,
When it's Paris, it's Paris,
And spring-time's come again.

Beauty Of Flowers
A withered flower blooming again
breeze shook the flower
the sun is shining on flower
rain water to wash the dust-filled flower
abort storm petals
storm that renders the flower petals

drenched in silent tears, as probity is enslaved in democracy’s empty cellars?
I am profligacy personified, please celebrate me.
Why can I not simply reflect and ponder?
Does my complexion cloud the colour of my character?
Does my location limit the lengths my liberty?
Does the spirit of my conviction shackle my soul
Does my mien maim the mine of my mind?
And is failure worth celebrating?
I AM NIGERIAN, PLEASE CELEBRATE ME
I have enormous tracts of land and vast volumes of water, but cannot feed myself.
So I spend $1 billion to import rice and another $2 billion on milk.
I produce rice, but don’t eat it. I have millions of cows but no milk.
I am 53, please celebrate me.
I drive the best cars in the world but have no roads,
so I crush my best brains in the caverns,
craters and crevasses they crash into daily.
I am in unending mourning, please celebrate me.
My school has no teacher and my classroom has no roof.
I take lectures through windows and live with 15 others in one room.
All my professors have gone abroad, and the rest are awaiting visas.
I am a university graduate, but I am illiterate. I want a future, please celebrate me.
Preventable diseases send me to hospitals without doctors, medicines or power.
All the nurses have gone abroad and the rest are waiting to go also.
I have the highest maternal and infant mortality rates in the world;
and future generations are dying before me. I am hopeless, hapless and helpless,
please celebrate me.
For democracy’s sake I stood all day on Election Day.
But before I could ink my thumb, results had been broadcast.
When I dared to speak out, silence was enthroned by bullets.
My leaders are my oppressors, and my policemen are my terrors.
I am ruled by men in mufti, but I am not a democracy.
I have no verve, no vote, no voice, please celebrate me.
My youth have no past, present nor future.
So my sons in the North have become street urchins;
and his brothers in the South have become kidnappers.
My nephews die of thirst in the Sahara and his cousins drown in the Mediterranean.
My daughters walk the streets of Lagos , Abuja and Port Harcourt;
while her sisters parade the streets of Rome and Amsterdam .
I am grief-stricken, please celebrate me.
Pen-wielding bandits have raided everything in my vaults.
They walk the land with haughty strides and fly the skies with private planes
They have looted the future of generations unborn;
and have money they cannot spend in several lifetimes,
but their brothers die of starvation. I want a kit of kindness, please celebrate me.
I can produce anything, but import everything.
So my toothpick is made in China; my toothpaste is made in South Africa;
my salt is made in Ghana; my butter is made in Ireland;
my milk is made in Holland; my shoe is made in Italy;
my vegetable oil is made in Malaysia*** my biscuit is made in Indonesia;
my chocolate is made in Turkey and my table water made in France.
My taste is far-flung and foreign, please celebrate me.
My land is dead because all the trees have been cut down;
flooding kills thousands yearly because the drainages are clogged;
my fishes are dead because the oil companies dump waste in my rivers;
my communities are vanishing into the huge yawns of gully erosion, and nothing is being done.
My very existence is uncertain and I am in the deepest depths of despondence, please celebrate me.
I have genuine leather but choose to eat it.
So I spend billions of dollars to import fake leather.
I have four refineries, but prefer to import fuel,
so I waste more billions to import petrol. I have no security in my country,
but send troops to keep peace in another man’s land.
I have hundreds of dams, but no water.
So I drink ‘pure’ water that roils my innards.
I need a vision, please celebrate me.
I have a million candidates craving to enter universities,
but my dungeons can only accommodate a tenth.
I have no power, but choose to flare gas,
so my people have learnt to see in the dark and stare at the glare of Unclad flares.
I am shrouded by darkness, please celebrate me.
For my golden jubilee,
I shall spend 16 billion naira to bash around the bonfires of the banal.
So what if the majority gaze at my possessed, frenzied dance;
drenched in silent tears, as probity is enslaved in democracy’s empty cellars?
I am profligacy personified, please celebrate me.
Why can I not simply reflect and ponder?
Does my complexion cloud the colour of my character?
Does my location limit the lengths my liberty?
Does the spirit of my conviction shackle my soul
Does my mien maim the mine of my mind?
And is failure worth celebrating?
I AM NIGERIAN, PLEASE CELEBRATE ME
