No retiring

When you retire from a thing,
You are going to get something
To retire to, from which
You have to retire on a later date.

Intention

Important intention
Intention important.
I intend to work for you
You banyan tree intend to
Provide shade.
Everybody here get
Tranguility peace perfection.

Intention important
Important intention.
I relinguish all
All fruits all hopes
All desires
And intend to remain
With you all day long.

If You Intend

[ merchant ]
If you intend to live again,
Then open your eyes and dont pretend youre feeling theres nothing worth believing.
God, if you persist youll die like this,
And wither in the midst of your first season,
Cut down with no reason.
How can you be so near and not see everything?
If you intend to live again,
Then take the outstreched hand of the one that needs you.
Its been so long, weve missed you.
Why do you intend to speed your end?
Lie in the dark and let your limbs grow weaker, sinking low then deeper.
How can you be so near and not see everything?
Feel what might be. see what I see.
Again and again and again and again say you dont.
You say you dont, but you will.
How can you be so near and not see?

I don't intend to simply go away and write my plays and be a good boy. I intend to remain an independent and political intelligence in my own right.

I do not intend, we do not intend, that any party shall survive, if we can help it, that will lay the confiscating hand upon Americans in the interest of England or of Europe.

The new frontier of which I speak is not a set of promises-it is a set of challenges. It sums up not what I intend to offer the American people, but what I intend to ask of them. It appeals to their pride, not their pocketbook-it holds out the promise of more sacrifice instead of more security.

To A Departing Favorite

Thou mayst retire, but think of me
When thou art gone afar,
Where'er in life thy travels be,
If tost along the brackish sea,
Or borne upon the car.

Thou mayst retire, I care not where,
Thy name my theme shall be;
With thee in heart I shall be there,
Content thy good or ill to share,
If dead to lodge with thee.

Thou mayst retire beyond the deep,
And leave thy sister train,
To roam the wilds where dangers sleep,
And leave affection sad to weep
In bitterness and pain.

Thou mayst retire, and yet be glad
To leave me thus alone,
Lamenting and bewailing sad;
Farewell, thy sunk deluded lad
May rise when thou art gone.

Be Careful

He claims to be somebody but,
B careful to what you intend to do with him;
She claims to be somebody but,
Br careful to what you intend to do with her;
For i am mighty in words and in deeds,
And like the four horns i saw yesterday.

ACT: Love

Guy: One, put the mask on
Two, set up the charm
Three, pick the one
I’m searching for a girl
That I could have fun
I don’t intend to fall
Because love is a silly thing
You will act like a fool
And lose control

Girl: One, wear the gown
Two, wave the smile
Three, trap the one
I’m searching for a guy
That I could get fund
I don’t intend to feel
Because love is mischief thing
No matter what your plan
It will destroy all

Guy: I have a pride I should stand for
Girl: Don’t fail and make it crumble
Guy: In front of me I see the danger
Girl: It’s too late escape from fire

Guy: One, say the name
Two, give no damn
Three, start the game
I found a girl
That I can’t understand
I don’t intend to care
But love is anonymous
Though you avoid anything
You stuck with unexpected person

Girl: One, close the frame
Two, blame the lame
Three, spark the flame
I found a guy
That I can’t turn down
I don’t intend to be known
But love is pathetic
I say I don’t want you
You show me I’m liar

Guy: I’m used to be lonely
Girl: But now I can not bear anymore
Guy: The comforting warmth is alluring me
Girl: But do I dare to reach the hand

Guy: One, stop to doubt
Two, hold her tight
Three, catch her heart
I keep a girl
That I can’t leave behind
I don’t intend to give up
And love is crazy wheeler
When you thought it’ll stay
It swings to the other side

Girl: One, face the fear
Two, cross the line
Three, beat his heart
I need a guy
That I could trust in arms
I don’t intend to regret
And love is rebellious bird
Even hope could break you
You still run into that storm

Steal Your Heart

I don't mean to be the teardrop
spilling over your resentments
don't intend to be the cry
with which you voice your
discontentment
I don't wanna be a picture
fading slowly from your memory
don't intend to be a shadow
simply darkening your passage

Only wanna lose myself behind the mirror of your eyes
be the only balm that soothes
the secret passions in your life
only want to lose my senses

Whether That Acceptance Comes or Not

Where am I going?

From here to there,
Just for the experience of it.
And from there,
I may come back here...
To share!
But going 'somewhere'
Is what I intend on my agenda.

That's where I am going.
What about you?
Or are you waiting to dress to impress?
With the hope someone approves,
The way you look, speak and your attitude?

Where am I going?

From here to there,
Just for the experience of it.
And from there,
I may come back here...
To share!
But going 'somewhere'
Is what I intend on my agenda.

And I could care less,
About impressing someone...
With the way I am dressed.
Unless...
That is required for my next step from 'there'.
To take me wherever it is I wish!
And when and if that happen,
I will be more than prepared for it!

However...
I am certainly not going to sit here wondering,
Whether or not I will be accepted and qualified.
I will be qualified!
Whether that acceptance comes or not!

Cathedral Spires

They have blown away the daylight hours we had
Left a leagcy, a deadly aftermath
We cannot exist in godforsaken lands
As we spiral down into oblivion
Breathing the fumes of fires that they ignite
Losing ground and we are all just losing sight
We shall never see another setting sun
Time to rise up and ascend, the end has come
No more willpower
Choked by hell fire
Darkness above
Blackening out the sun
Gripped by steel claws
Corrosion eating us
So before were all devoured
Time to rise up and retire
In cathedral spires
Watching as the world expires
From up amongst the clouds
In cathedral spires
No names
No graves
No prayers
Can save us
Ashes to dust
Doomsdays upon us now
It cannot be stopped
Genocide all is lost
Oh! were so tired
Time to rise up and conspire
In cathedral spires
Watching as our world expires
From up above the clouds
In cathedral spires
Jaws of corruption
Swallow us as one
Consuming every nation
Evoke resistance getting none
Complete disintegration
No good to defend
There can be but one outcome
We are no more - ascend
Vaporized fury
Offers no sanctuary
Oh! were so tired
Time to rise up and retire
In cathedral spires
Watching as the world expires
From up amongst the clouds
In cathedral
In cathedral spires
Oh! were so tired
Watching the world expire
Time that we retire
Up in cathedral spires
Oh! were so tired
Watching the world expire
Time that we retire
Up in cathedral spires
Oh! were so tired
Watching the world expire
Time that we retire
Up in cathedral spires
Oh! were so tired
Watching the world expire
Time that we retire
Up in cathedral spires

For Those Who Finally Quit

what is then the next thing
to do? retire
retreat
and hide?

consider this
what i did when i too feel like
the same thing that
you have

i retire but only to recuperate
i retreat only to evaluate
and hide but only to recharge
what energy i have lost

the next morning i shall move
again
another timing and strategy
another hope
and expectation that finally
luck shall be on my side
that fortune awaits those
that persist
that there is always a place
for those who wait
and do things again
despite.

B: I: The Meaning of 'Wild

Death's the comfiest place
You could retire to,
After all the strife,
Like bed's the softest place
After a hard day's life.

But dreams, they can be wild.
Containing all the past,
All the future too,
Death must be a wild, wild place
You must retire to.

Covenant Woman

Covenant woman got a contract with the lord
Way up yonder, great will be her reward.
Covenant woman, shining like a morning star,
I know I can trust you to stay where you are.
And I just got to tell you
I do intend
To stay closer than any friend.
I just got to thank you
Once again
For making your prayers known
Unto heaven for me
And to you, always, so grateful
I will forever be.
Ive been broken, shattered like an empty cup.
Im just waiting on the lord to rebuild and fill me up
And I know he will do it cause hes faithful and hes true,
He must have loved me so much to send me someone as fine as you.
And I just got to tell you
I do intend
To stay closer than any friend.
I just got to thank you
Once again
For making your prayers known
Unto heaven for me
And to you, always, so grateful
I will forever be.
Covenant woman, intimate little girl
Who knows those most secret things of me that are hidden from the world.
You know we are strangers in a land were passing through.
Ill always be right by your side, Ive got a covenant too.
And I just got to tell you
I do intend
To stay closer than any friend.
I just got to thank you
Once again
For making your prayers known
Unto heaven for me
And to you, always, so grateful
I will forever be.

Sometimes.. all the times

Sometimes I keep on building high walls around me
Not to keep myself away
But to see who cares enough to break them all
Who cares enough to make them fall

Sometimes I keep on constructing barriers around my heart
Not to keep my heart safe
But to see who cares enough to start

Sometimes I keep myself inside a fence
Not as a defense
But rather to see who really feels me... who has enough sense

Sometimes I keep on creating obstacles for whoever wants me close
Not to play “hard to get”
But rather to know why am I the one he chose?

Sometimes I prefer to be isolated
Not to be lonely …
But rather to see who cares enough to come close and approach me

Sometimes I prefer to be remote
Not because of fear
But rather to see who cares enough to be near

Sometimes I prefer to keep the distance
Not to act arrogant
But rather to see who cares enough to be persistent

Sometimes I do not take any initiative
Not because I’m acting so protective
But to know to whom am I really attractive

Sometimes I intend to be passive
Not to show no interest
But to see who cares enough to be impressive

Sometimes I intend to be mysterious
Not because I want to look serious
But rather to see who cares enough to be curious

Sometimes I intend to be unsocial
Not to be rude
But rather to see to whom am I really special

Sometimes I keep on wearing masks hiding my real self
Not to pretend
But rather to see who will remove them in the end

Sometimes I keep all my secrets covered
To see to whom and how it will be discovered

Sometimes I lock my door
To see who is willing to explore
Who really cares enough to know me more

Sometimes … all the times ….
And until now I haven’t found the kind of care I need
I haven’t found that someone who cares enough to succeed

Fire Your Desire

Since the day that the lord set me on fire
i have had a desire to acquire the knowledge of my messiah,

Whatever u desire, Dont retire
Aspire to Acquire the desire u admire
If u perspire
u wont retire.

When the enemies conspire to fire your desire,
dont tire,
remember your mesiah
the one who speaks fire

He has clothed you with his attire,
and has given you his entire empire,
that if you refire you will acquire,
this is not time to expire,

With Jesus your mesiah,
the devil's fire will backfire,
Desire the holyfire,
Become a carrier of the holyghost fire,

Our God the unmpire will never retire
He will always refire, he will never expire,
he will always inquire
his power is forever,

So u have all u require my friend,
to acquire your long admired desire,
this is all u require,
stay on fire.

Ditties

Upon 'these' walls,
I intend to scrawl...
And leave my ditties.

Many may consider my ditties,
Unwitty.
With a lack of depth.
And uneffective at best.

But I believe my ditties left,
Provided for me a therapy.
And if I received a peace of mind from this...
Those who were displeased,
Will eventually get over it.
