I'm not so presumptuous to feel that they're gonna get it right away, get exactly what I have in mind. I hope that they'll enjoy looking at it at any rate, whatever it is. And that's why I started writing stories on my work.

Why I write
I used to feel, like a pain is in my heart.
When without saying a word, u depart
Here I m alone, remembering our memories
Had so much left to tell you my life stories.
As an alternative of you I started talking to myself
Not that good idea but still it was little relief
Not for long that idea worked, if It was too much miss of your.
Thought of writing my felling so I took a pen and paper.
Started writing stories n poems about my felling
And things that I had always thought of telling.
I feel I m near to you and with you I m talking
That's why I write. Even if my writings are not good and boring..

Who You Gonna Believe
I remember every word you said
We cant go on this way
Should I go or stay
But Ive given you everything
That one woman could give a man
So when you gonna recognize and realize
What we had
(now tell me)
Who you gonna believe, her or me?
Whats it gonna be, who you gonna believe?
Before your heart shatters, love is all that matters
You put me through that lovers game over and over
Someday someones gonna put you through the same
Lover to lover, I hope you dont find out too late
I hope you never have to feel the pain
cause if you lose the love you took for granted
That you could never appreciate
Who you gonna believe, her or me?
Whos it gonna be, who you gonna believe?
Before you make up your mind
You better take some time
What about me, dont you think I need a man here
Standing by my side
And what about you, you need a woman to hold you
Through those cold and lonely nights
Oh, what about us, we belong together for ever and ever.
Oh, Ill be there if you should ever need me
Oh, I know everything will work out fine, just believe
Oh, I know cause weve been through this a million times
Keep on believing well I hope you dont find out too late
Hope you never have to feel the pain
Cause if you lose the love you took for granted
That you could never appreciate, after all this time
Who you gonna believe, her or me?
Whos it gonna be, who you gonna believe?
Who are you fooling
Well youre not fooling me no
Who you gonna believe, you can risk it all
With someone elses world
Wondering if its love
Baby oh baby, you should know by now
You can believe in me

It Is Me
He sat in his own world
writing down the stories
that came to his mind.
He never watched time,
for him there
was no time.
He wrote stories of love,
of mystery and suspense.
He wrote of everything
that popped into his head.
He was not a lonely person
as his characters kept him company.
He wrote things
for every writing sphere,
but there was one thing
he could not write
which may come as a surprise
to everyone.
He could not write a letter
no matter how hard he tried.
His mind went completely blank
whenever he tried.
Yet he could write
just about everything else.
He could write songs,
he could write stories at will.
He could write poems
on everything,
but writing a letter
was something he could not do.
Now all who read this
might take it as a joke,
but it is very true
every word I have spoke,
and how would I know that.
The answer is simple it is me.

These walls wont let me get through
But if I know you, you will
Chorus:
Finish what you started
Youll come back to me

So finish what you started

A fool for your love
Oh, thats what I am

Youre down too deep in my soul
To let you go, wont ya

Im standing here shakin
Wonderin if you let me in
Oh, dont watch my heart breakin
Knowing what we could have been
What more can I do?
Your heart just wont let me through
But if I know you (finish what you started)
And I think I know you, baby (finish what you started)
And you can really show me if
You finish what you started
Youll come back to me

Predictable
Go!
I can in every way, mistake the pain i feel inside.
It comes at me, evil thoughts is creeping through my mind.
Who are you to say that i can't speak what's on my mind.
It runs away, it's so predictable.
I can in every way, feel the stress all tingled up inside.
Too blind to see, emptiness and sorrow of their lives.
You run away, to the cover of their pointless ties.
You ask me, it's so predictable.
Why? why? why!
I'm gonna try
I'm gonna die
I'm gonna try...
Another day. silence overwhelms my mind.
Who's to say if i have the time or why
Should i pray for all the hate to go away?
Another day. i can never break free.
You wait for me
I caught up to you.
Another day
I'll live forever
Why? why? why!
I'm gonna try
I'm gonna die
I'm gonna try...
I'm gonna try. why?
I'm gonna try. why?
I'm gonna try. why?
I'm gonna try. why?
I'm gonna try
I'm gonna die
I'm gonna try...

Whatcha gonna do with my time darlin
Whatcha gonna do with my soul
When ya gonna make up your mind about me
What do you still need to know
When are ya gonna walk out the door forever
Where are ya gonna run and hide
Darlin cant ya see that its now or never
Say youre gonna stay or say good-bye.
But lets get on with it
Lets get started
Climb up or fall down the hill
Either forward or else its backward
But nothing ever stands still
So lets get on with it.
Whatcha gonna do with the hope inside you
Whatcha gonna do with your dreams
How ya gonna live with all those memries
Wonderin how it might have been
All Im askin is to keep on tryin
All ya gotta do is hold on
No ones gonna guarantee tomorrow
But its gonna be here before too long
So lets get on with it
Lets get started
Climb up or fall down the hill
Either forward or else its backward
But nothing ever stands still
So lets get on with it.

The Silence Of Edgar's Mind
Edgar had an evil approach
to his writing and to his
poetry that he composed
inside his mind and on
the paper that he wrote
upon.
His characters inside
his stories and poetry
had a shattered affect
that seem to have consumed
his mind as he wrote inside
the silence of his mind.
The silence of Edgar's
mind, gave him the evil
and the turmoilless thoughts
that shaped his short stories
and poetry into what it became
today.
But when i read his
poetry i can feel
his tortured soul
having so-much contorl
over him, that him
begins to battle
with his chastisng
emotions and his soul
That was forever making
him write the poetry
and the shoet stories
that he was chosen to
write until the end of
his life that he lived,
As he found himself
so desparately etched
with the loneliness
of being who he was as
a person.
As i got inside the
silence of Edgar Allan
Poe's mind i found a
constant struggle of
selfless-convictions
coming undone before me
as i read his work out loud.

The moral to stories which define reality
Can feel much realer when sanity is designed

State Of Affairs
there is a stain of
coconut oil in my eyeglass
and i keep on writing

whatever comes in my mind

with the vagueness that the

at any rate
the feeling is that
i am shedding tears.

It's been a long week
Been workin' overtime

To get this party right
I'm on another level
Turn up the bass and treble
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
'Cause I've been feelin' down, down, down
I need a pick me up, round, round, round
I wanna spin it up loud, loud, loud

A Mistake I Made
There is a question I ask myself repeatedly.
Why did I become who I am today,
a writer of songs, poems, short stories and novels?
In reality, I do not know, but I tell everyone who asks
it was simply a mistake I made.
Many will say I had it in me,
that I was born to do it.
Remembering how it started
I am not so sure of that.
It started with the words to a friend
if they can do it why can't we.
Now almost fifty years have passed
from that fateful day I picked up the pen.
If asked what I have achieved
in all that time of writing.
I would answer there is plenty,
but none of it is money.
My rewards for my writing
is bringing a smile to someone's face
someone whom I might never see.
The inspiration I have passed on to others,
but the best of all to me are the numerous friends
I have gathered from around the world.

Maggies Farm
I aint gonna work on maggies farm no more.
No, I aint gonna work on maggies farm no more
Well, I wake up in the morning
Fold my hands and pray for rain.
I got a head full of ideas
That are drivin me insane
Its a shame
The way she makes me
Scrub the floor
I aint gonna work on, nah
I aint gonna work on maggies farm no more.
I aint gonna work for maggies brother no more
Nah, I aint gonna work for maggies brother no more
Well, he hands you a nickel
And he hands you a dime
And he asks you with a grin
If youre havin a good time
Then he fines you every time you slam the door
I aint gonna work for, nah
I aint gonna work for maggies brother no more
I aint gonna work for maggies pa no more
No, I aint gonna work for maggies pa no more
Well, he puts his cigar
Out in your face just for kicks
His bedroom window
It is made out of bricks
The national guard stands around his door
I aint gonna work, nah
I aint gonna work for maggies pa no more
I aint gonna work for maggies ma no more
No, I aint gonna work for maggies ma no more
Well, she talks to all the servants
About man and God and law
And everybody says
Shes the brains behind pa
Shes sixty-eight, but she says shes twenty-four
I aint gonna work for, nah
I aint gonna work for maggies ma no more
I aint gonna work on maggies farm no more
No, I aint gonna work on maggies farm no more
Well I try my best
To be just like I am
But everybody wants you
To be just like them
They sing while they slave and just get bored
I aint gonna work on, nah
I aint gonna work on maggies farm no more

Stories and dreams
Stories and dreams
~
Still writing stories and dreams
Into poetry the essence of life
Waiting to become written
Into a real memory
If every poem tells a tale
It becomes a step away from reality
A hope held, the fantasy
And all of it is beautiful
Even in the deepest tragedy
Sewn through verse to be spoken
In words carefully chose
Picked like flowers gently
Into the vase upon the page
Replacing dying laments
Picked so long ago
That even dreams forget
And so it goes on without end
Writing into the night
Stories and dreams all waiting
To become a real memory
