I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority.

Black Bruises IV
I can gorge the vile blackness,
the eviscerated acquiescence
like a dog-eats-dog carnival
I can endure the struggle
tasting blotted inks,
tasting cheap champagnes,
tasting one's molting skin,
tasting a chance to begin,
tasting cold greasy dishes,
tasting stark carnal sin,
tasting tar and nicotine,
tasting saline misery,
but am I the only one tasting
these black bruised savors?

Optimistic in Disguise
I don't see the world so bright
I don't dream the hope so high
Indifference is just too much
I'm optimistic in disguise
I loose my mind to fight
They never care I was so right
Stubbornness is just too hard
I'm optimistic in disguise
I don't need so shiny light
Your pride is no use in night
Loneliness is just too sharp
I'm optimistic in disguise
Your words hum like bees
Poison me to be not me
Narrow-mindedness is just too tight
I'm optimistic in disguise
Take your game and leave me might
Have no mercy to give a sight
The blood is just too cold
I'm optimistic in disguise

Bright Eyes
words & music by jason mraz
Bright lights, big city
Was quite extraordinary.
The drive was pretty.
I was in perfect company.
The love of a lifetime,
Since we were elementary friends;
The one with the bright eyes..
Why cant I be optimistic?
I tried to find the logic logically.
I had a dream and I could not shake it.
I was standing up there naked.
Theres fear in the truth at hand, frozen I forgot to understand
The live keep living; growing older more into a man..
And I let her grow away from me.
Love.. love is not pretending.
Time.. time was meant for mending
Memories into all is satisfactory,
Healthy smiles fill the page the day we spent in miles.
And I let her drive away from me.
The one with the bright eyes
Laughed her way inside this music box;
Stored away in the corner of my heart. And I let her get away from me
But Ill never take that day away from me.

White Butterflies
Their beauty sad to say will not last long a few days to live that is all
The white butterflies in the garden on this warm day in the Fall
So little time in their bloom of beauty to mate and lay their eggs and to fly
Around the wildflowers and the flowering bushes when the sun shines bright in the sky
Of death they would not have a sense of but a few days in time to them must seem long
Their is so much to learn of Nature though Nature keeps proving us wrong
So innocent in their great beauty they are as natural as bird song
And so soon to return to Nature for to Nature they surely belong,
In the sky they seem to be dancing perhaps in a courtship display
Of butterfly life i am ignorant and my assumptions a guess anyway
As butterflies their's is a brief existence their life span is forty eight hours
They will be outlived by most insects and they will be outlived by the flowers
In a few days they will be with Nature as Nature takes back
what she does create
In the sunshine they flit through the garden seemingly quite unaware of their fate.

Beyond rainbow
I could see nothing beyond rainbow
It was distance object of fine show
A rare scene with lot more to present
Life in happiness and all worries to be absent
It gives pleasant surprises when rain is over
Like our life when all dark clouds are scattered and find cover
Life stabilizes after little spell of uncertainty
A rare blessing granted from the almighty
Rainbow may remain for few minutes only
It may give relief when you feel lonely
Lovely to watch all colors in semi circle
As if lot more scope to come out from troubles
Green to bring much awaited peace
Joy all over and life to be spent at ease
Saffron a devotional color to represent sacrifice
Life to be loved at full length with promises
Nothing is permanent here and likely to disappear
For short and momentary as it may now appear
We all go for it and wish bright sunshine
When rainbow is withdrawn after bright shine
What is there to wonder when nature speaks?
Never allow you to feel lonely and wounds to leak
You were stronger earlier and may remain so
If applied vision beyond rainbow and go
Let us think about no time with us
Build confidence with trust
If necessary then pick any color you like
Many more ways may open and ideas strike
Spend few seconds with nature
You may certainly find the future
There is nothing else nature can do
Yet some of the features are very true

This Time
This time Ive found a love to treasure
One thats impossible to measure
The future looks bright, the moment feels so right
Just being near you brings me pleasure
This time the both of us can see
How we can love and still feel free
You came into sight, I saw a whole new light
I found out what happiness can be
cause baby
Id given up
Ever finding
Someone
To share my life
Forever
This time well make it
Baby, we see
Nothing can take it from you and me
This time I feel it, like never before
Each day I love you more
This time our search for love has ended
All of our goals in life have blended
And baby tonight, Ill love your body, make you feel right
Well see all our troubles can all be mended
This time well make it
Baby, we see
Nothing can take it from you and me
This time I feel it, like never before
Each day I love you more and more

Popularity
without the numbers
and the name
for what is popularity
then?
i like the privacy
of incognito
walking all alone
along the
busy corners of the
mall
taking all its own
time
outside
tasting the
sweetness of
the park
and the familiarity
with the
streets
watching time
passing by
savoring the
slow pacing
of loafing
thinking and
pondering
without the
shallow
shrieking
screaming
demanding
mob
who for all you
know
has always cheated
on you
and if you are not
too careful
at the end
steals and
destroys you.

This is the last time....
This is the last time
The last time you will ever see me
The last time I will look into your eyes
The last words we’ll ever exchange
And the last memory I have of you
This is the last time…
The last time I believe your sweet lies
The last time I remember our past
The last time I thank you for your friendship
And the last time I hate you for leaving me
This is the last time…
The last time I blame myself for this broken heart
The last time I cry over you
The last time I feel our past happiness slipping away
And the last time I see you as anything more than a stranger
This is the last time…
The last time I’ll ever give into my delusions of you
The last time I’ll say your name with such recognition
The last time I’ll erase the future I had drawn in my mind
And the last time I’ll ever bother you
This is the last time… I promise.

BAD...by talile ali
BAD IS SO MUCH MORE
THAN JUST NOT RESPECTING THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS
FOR THE LONGEST TIME,
I MYSELF HAD A HARD TIME WITH THIS
THIS THING CALLED COMPULSION
KEEPS US TRUE TO OUR NATURE
IT IS BECAUSE OF THAT NATURE
THAT WE ARE HERE UNDERSTANDING
ABSOLUTES COMPLETELY
IT IS THIS TRUTH WHICH
A LOT OF PAIN AND COMFORT ARE FOUND
AND BEAR FRUIT
UPON WHICH WE MUST ALL GROW
OUR LIGHT SLOWLY CHANGES
AS OUR DESIRE DOES AT STAGES
ALWAYS UP AND SOMETIMES DOWN
AS WE MOVE FROM ONE LIFE TO ONE FOUND
AS WE NEED WE ARE IT ALL
AT DIFFERENT TIMES CONFUSED AND STALL
SO LITTLE THAT WE SHARE
IN OUR LIGHT JUST AIN'T SQUARE
AS WE APPEAR TO BE
TO THE OTHERS OBSERVING
COULD BE RIGHTEOUS, COULD BE BAD
WHATEVER IT IS, WE LEARN,
THAT'S MAD

No Tears
I would have never excused
If she had ever refused
For my company and hand
As we were for a long time close friends
It is not that we were not intimate
We had lot more to relate
But everything hung on fate
As everything was coming very late
She had rose like smiling face
No worry lines or tension you can trace
Such a lovely creature and my bright future!
She stood alone and was not at all sure
I used to console her to be firm
Advice her to believe in luck, pray and confirm
Not all that can be had as per desire
Some times dreams also can go on fire
To shed tears is sign of weakness
They should never rush on the ace
It may be passionately felt
Yet the secret fragrance must be smelt
Love to long for nice future
Strive hard and make it sure
If can't be fulfilled due to compulsion
There should not be slight chance for confusion
I saw her pale face and felt pain
She was to loose me again
I was yet optimistic about the positive outcome
She was to be the one at the door to welcome
I am man of little shy nature
But any man would try to reassure
Do as much as possible to prove true
And give as much respect is possible and due

Bitter-Tasting
I'm in between,
bitter tasted;
overcome by my own nature,
but, unrepentant, I still am
by choice and circumstance.
I step upon my own fate
plunge holes in my own ship
live with storms and tumult
I alone create.
I'm in between
and bitter tasting
overcome by my own nature.
But unrepentant I still am
by choice and circumstance.
I've been wrong many times
and humble enough to know,
but alone,
I'm not strong enough
to reverse trend,
turn the bend
and came back again.
But, I
still want
to unlove you.
Twirl me round
one more time,
whatever comes by me
will surprise;
but, it will be mine.
I'm in between,
bitters tasting;
overcome by my own nature
but unrepentant I still am
by choice and circumstance.
My life complete
will state in the Book
of Summation:
Lived by Instinct
Died From Commitment:
The Pallbearers
were
Choice and Circumstance.

Time
Time waits for nobody
Time waits for nobody
We all must plan our hopes together
Or we'll have no more future at all
Time waits for nobody
We might as well be deaf and dumb and blind
I know that sounds unkind
But it seems to me we've not listened to
Or spoken about it at all
The fact that time is running out for us all
Time waits for nobody
Time waits for no-one
We've got to build this world together
Or we'll have no more future at all
Because time - it waits for nobody
You don't need me to tell you what's gone wrong (gone wrong gone wrong)
You know what's going on
But it seems to me we've not cared enough
Or confided in each other at all (confided in each other at all)
It seems that we've all got our backs against the wall
(Time) Time waits for nobody
(Time) waits for no-one
We've got to trust in one another
Or there'll be no more future at all
(Time)
Yeah - Time waits for nobody
No no - Time don't wait for no-one
Let's learn to be friends with one another
Or there'll be no more future at all
Time (time) time (time) waits for nobody waits for nobody
Time time time time waits for nobody at all
Time waits for nobody - yeah
Time don't wait - waits for no-one
Let us free this world for ever
And build a brand new future for us all
Time waits for nobody nobody nobody
For no-one

Faceless Man
I spent a day by the river
It was quiet and the wind stood still
I spent some time with nature
To remind me of all that's real
It's funny how silence speaks sometimes when you're alone
And remember that you feel
I said it's funny how silence speaks sometimes when you're alone
And remember that you feel
Again I stand

The Future Song
Life brings on unexpected changes
But we must carry on despite it
Are we gonna try
Are we gonna make it
Why is love so very hard
Why is peace so very far
I cant make it
The future of our space and time
Is not gonna wither and die
The future of our space and time
Is not gonna say goodbye
We cant control all our situations
And we cant console underpriviledged
Nations
So why dont we try
To make more smiling faces
Were so full of disregards
We feel pain within our hearts
I cant take it
The future of our space and time
Is not gonna wither and die
The future of our space and time
Is not gonna say goodbye
So Im calling out
Out to all he races
We cant gain control
Without communication
And we need to learn for future generations
There is a future in our stars
There is beauty that is ours
Were gonna make it
The future of our space and time
Is not gonna wither and die
The future of our space and time
Is not gonna say goodbye

Always Be Optimistic.
Always be optimistic.
ALWAYS.
It's not the shell but the nut,
That nourishes.
But then again...
There will be those who spend,
Too much time complaining...
About the strain of the cracking.
Deciding there is nothing more than that.
And not examine,
How the foundation was created.
Or what it took,
From nothing to be made.
Since for them...
Strength relys on outside appearances.
Leading many to accept expectations of failure.
If not already precast in concrete.
Always be optimistic.
ALWAYS.
