The Ship of My Life
The ship of my life it is sinking
falling beneath a great wave
and all this has set me to thinking
life will send me to an early grave
What will I do without you
how will I ever survive
none of this is new
I just can't thrive
He tore you away from me
he said you couldn't be mine
and so I sink into this sea
and the world will go on just fine

Frederick And Geraldine (Story Poem)
In that magic evening we have met
Silently seeing in movie that
On a big ship some were under threat.
They saw the sky light up and a pat.
So slowly the ship began to sink.
Despaired, in the water they fell.
And when its image began to shrink,
They were in a boat, it was like hell.
They could swim even across the moon,
In despair, needing to survive.
They reached the shore of black lagoon,
They realized that they were alive.
She breathed new air like a survivor,
She became a stranger in night.
When her man, the ship's driver,
Died in the water of her sight.
There was about a great wolf seaman,
And their love story reaching their dream,
A sailor's song about a freeman,
A story with treasure and sea bream.
There was like another life for me,
When Geraldine sneaking up on tide
Was calling Frederick, couldn't he
Know he left her with child inside.
That movie, when have met our eyes,
All things separated me from you,
Another era, love, life, other skies,
Same souls, different masks in outward view.

Move Your Feet
You are the only one who can take my breath away
Like they say time flies when you're having fun
My love to you still feels like on the first day
For the rest of my life I need you by my side
You are the love of my life
Sun always shines when you're near
Sharing your secrets my dear
You are the one that I need
Without you I can't breath
Give me one moment in time
I wish you'll always be mine
Nothing that I wouldn't do
You know I guide you through
You're the one that I love send from heaven above
You are the queen of my heart
Every breath that I take every move that I make
All is for you worth the way
You are the love of my life
You are the key to survive
I need you by my side every day every night
I swear I love you
You are the love of my life
You are the key to survive
Wherever you go I just want you to know
You 'll stay here in my life
Cried picture your face in my hands
Hope that this love never ends
I would be by your side
For the rest of my life
Give me one moment in time
I wish you'll always be mine
Live for each moment a day
And I heal my suffering
You're the one that I love send from heaven above
You are the queen of my heart
Every breath that I take every move that I make
All is for you worth the way
You are the love of my life
You are the key to survive
I need you by my side every day every night
I swear I love you
You are the love of my life
You are the key to survive
Wherever you go I just want you to know
You 'll stay here in my life
For the rest of my life
I need you by my side
You 'll always be mine
You are the one that I need
You're the one that I love send from heaven above-

Tomorrow Morning
Lonely, lost every part of me
maybe, outstayed my company
walking in to sad scenes
hold me tight and say goodbye
I've seen, behind tomorrow's sky
you be, my missing alibi
bone me over backwards
turn around and change my mind
Cause I've been thinking
about our world tonight
slowly sinking into my appetite
tomorrow morning
are you a friend of mine
I swear, you've left me open
nowhere, to hide this moment
overcrowded daydreams
we're lost or so it seems
Cause I've been thinking
about our world tonight
slowly sinking into my appetite
tomorrow morning
are you a friend of mine
Cause I've been thinking
about our world tonight
slowly sinking into my appetite
tomorrow morning
are you a friend of mine

Life is not worth
Did someone say life is not worth to live?
Without dishonest means it is difficult to survive?
Not possible or any steps to revive,
So forget about means and connive,
Why to worry when everybody live same way,
Why I concentrate more and attention pay,
Why I care in matters where I have no say?
So simply I differ and uncaringly lay,
Why to worry about another world,
When no one has seen it and definite word,
All fear about Almighty with praying O, lord,
I can stand aloof in corner and afford,
Neither do I wish to swim together,
Nor do I care to sink and bother,
I search the ways for happiness further,
Can any one say my efforts may wither?
I still firmly believe in efforts,
All ships may not land in ports,
Nothing can succeed without any support,
Not with blessing alone or prayers report,
With smooth sailing there is no problem,
With sinking of ship passing only blame,
Why not we think and share also claim?
This is not my way of thinking and not the aim,
I think life is beautiful and thousand times worth,
No blame games and no ideas forth,
Success or failure face of the both,
Only we fail to see in cloth.

The Sublime
I stay awake in empty darkness
Thinking thoughts that shape me so
A recompense of all the harshness
That my life has come to know
The sanctity of dreams and worry
Weigh me down and cloud my soul
The thoughts across my mind they scurry
Looking for their lifelong goal
Seldom as I lie there thinking
Could such actions ever find
Doomed as sure the ship thats sinking
Playing stories in my mind.
I have no answer to this haunting
Safe but sure I can survive
Though life itself alone is daunting
Thoughts may keep my dreams alive.
Let the darkness sooth your senses
Take its presence by the hand
While building bridges not just fences
Drifting to your promised land...

Secrets
It seems we caused a forest fire
With just a flicker of a flame
And now I set alight to everything
Now all I do is cause you pain
I won't keep secrets alive
I'll send them all out to space
Without the will to survive
They won't be going no place
Oh my angel
Woman child
I used to think the time would come
When man would rise above the beast
I gave up thinking that way long ago
In conversation with a priest
I won't keep secrets alive
I'll send them all out to space
Without the will to survive
They won't be going no place
Oh my angel
Woman child
We could have heal this blindness
With some human kindness
I know secrets kill you
But my love can fill you
Time and time again
Time and time again
It would be so fine
If you could be mine
I won't keep secrets alive
I'll send them all out to space
Without the will to survive
They won't be going no place
Oh my angel
Woman child

Ride A Black Swan
A black swan rode me into my place of destiny
To love, to feel so madly
Stubborn to disagree
With people who think that life is just a memory
To be denied
Ill take this picture for ages
Of just you and i
As the world goes round
Its got me thinking
That the things I want
Just keep me sinking down
A white horse picks my dreams up
To take my hopes to god
My prayers have nestled brightly
To dim my sense of awe
I want you to be someone I cant deny
A house of fire
I want you to be something I realize
As the world goes round
Its got me thinking
That the things I want
Just keep me sinking down
As the world goes round
Its got me thinking
That the things I want
Will keep me sinking down
Remove my spirit from darkness
Love become my heaven
As the world goes round with our love
I want you to be my message
I want you to be my friend
I want you to be that answer
An answer I must defend
I want us to solve our distrust of everyone
And trust in god
I want us to solve our distrust of who we are
As the world goes round
Its got me thinking
That the things I want
Just keep me sinking down
As the world goes round
Its got me thinking
That the things I want
Just keep me sinking down
As the world goes round with our love
As the world goes round with our love
Remove my spirit from darkness
Love become my heaven
Remove my spirit from darkness
Love become my heaven
Remove my spirit from darkness
Love become my heaven
As the world goes round with our love
As the world goes round with our love

This Life Called Mine
This life called mine
Is not under your shadow.
Not under your beck and call.
Not living under that,
Not living it or giving it under that.
This life called mine...
Is exactly what it is.
Mine.
And not yours to say,
When I should put out.
Or when you feel the need to put in!
This life called mine...
I call it a condo.
I own all that which is inside.
And all that is outside of me...
God takes care of.
And I'm not charged a maintainance fee.
And I'm not trying to break my lease...
Either.
Or leave unexpectedly!
At least...
Give me some kind of a 50 year notice.
This life called mine.
And I've become fond,
Of Mother Nature's wholesomeness.
Fine it is,
This life of mine.
Fine it is,
The gloriousness of it.
I'd be out of my mind,
Not to fine the life I love to live...
Fine.
And I thank The Divine.

Survival Shake
This is no story its the key of existence
A little thing you better not forget
I dont know nothing bout its a water-resistance
Why dont you use your head
And survive, survive, survive
You got to survive
Survive, survive, survive
You got to survive
So tell me darling what you wanna be
A welcome idiot in an appletree
I shake you up and I shake you down
Down to the ground
To survive, survive, survive
You got to survive
Survive, survive
All you got to do is to survive
You just got one life
All you got to do is to survive
You just got one life
So better be careful boy
Survive, survive, survive...

Avoid destructive thinking. Improper negative thoughts sink people. A ship can sail around the world many, many times, but just let enough water get into the ship and it will sink. Just so with the human mind. Let enough negative thoughts or improper thoughts get into the human mind and the person sinks just like a ship.

The Sky Is Falling
Time will tell
Give some new meaning now
What it really takes to survive
Time will prove
That my fears, all were coming true
Now that youre leaving my life
Clouding up, think l see rain,and now
Oh no, lm feeling the pain
So far the omens are saying
That a stormy time is coming again
Chorus:
The sky is falling
No early warning
Theres no returning
Lts the end of the loving
The sky is falling
No early warning
Theres no returning
The sky is falling
Coming down
Oh baby its all around
Waves are washing over me
Weathered through other storms
Yeah they seemed so long
But not as hard as this will be
Dont we know, havent we learned by now
Hurt love and youre gonna cry
Oh baby nothing can save us now
My heart is as dark as the sky
Chorus:
The sky ja falling
No early warning
Theres no returning
Lts the end of the loving
The sky is falling
No early warning
Theres no returning
The sky is falling
Gotta turn my back on the feeling
So I can face the world
Dont you know my heart stopped believing
And I just cant keep reaching
For love

I've Been Thinking About You
We've known each other
For a long long time
But I never really notcied
All the magic in your eyes
I've been around you
A thousand times before
And you've always been a friend to me
But now I'm wanting more
I must have been so blind
I never realized
You're the one that's right for me
All the while I couldn't see
And now I feel so strange
I'll never be the same
Going 'round and 'round in circles
And I don't know what to do
'Cause baby
I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way
I've been thinking about you
It's unbelievable to me
But suddenly I think
I'm falling in love with you
There's no explaining how I feel inside
I'm going through a transformation
That's so hard for me to hide
I had a revelation that
Finally opened my eyes
The one I spent a lifetime searching for
Was right here all the time
I was oblivious so very out of touch
All the while I couldn't see
You're the one that's right for me
And now my world has changed
I'll never be the same
Going 'round and 'round in circles
And it's all because of you
Sweet baby
I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way
I've been thinking about you
It's unbelievable to me
But suddenly I think
I'm falling in love with you
Don't you know
That you're blowing my mind
What you do to me
I can't describe
Baby I can't hold back anymore
I just can't conceal it
You're the one I really adore
I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way
I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way
I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way
I've been thinking about you
It's unbelievable to me
But suddenly I think
I'm falling in love with you
I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way
I've been thinking about you
It's unbelievable to me
But suddenly I think
I'm falling in love with you

Stealin
Take me across the water
cause I need some place to hide
I done the ranchers daughter
And I sure did hurt his pride
Well, theres a
Hundred miles of desert
Lies between his hide and mine
I dont need no food
And no water, lord
cos Im running out of time
Fightin, killin, wine and women
Gonna put me to my grave
Runnin, hidin, losin, cryin
Nothing left to save but my life
Stood on a ridge
And shunned religion
Thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake
Stealin, when i
Shouldve been buyin
All that fightin, killin
Wine and those women
Gonna put me to an early grave
Runnin, hidin, losin, cryin
Nothing left to save but my life, life...
So I stood on a ridge
And shunned religion
Thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake
Stealin, when i
Shouldve been buyin
I was stealin
When I shouldve been buyin
I was stealin
When I shouldve been buyin
Stealin, when i
Shouldve been buyin ..
I was stealin ...

Heather's Lesson
Survive, thrive in difficult situations.
Glow like heather and smile with glory.
Serving deserving, deserve admiration
Survive, thrive in difficult situations.
Exist to help others in habitation
and be protective like heather's story,
Survive, thrive in difficult situations.
Glow your face and smile with glory.
***
Survive, thrive in difficult situations,
Dare to take care of the creatures.
Being selfless give help to everyone;
Survive, thrive in difficult situations.
Tells Heather: serving get admiration.
Smile, while spreading color and flavor;
Survive, thrive in difficult situations,
Dare to take care of the creatures

My Master
Excellent my master thou art
rebuking and pacifying me at a time
asking me to sit down and stand still
and making me kneel down at a time.
shedding me tears in my eyes
giving me a smile on my lips
at a time asking me to be furious
I can not make sure, what to do?
Praising sometime for unwarranted deeds
telling sometime me a greatest fool
sometime showing me a splendid castle
at a time telling me your cottage is better
Giving me a lesson of universal kind
asking me the answer of selfish kind
Thou art my master
tell me what to say?
The helm of my life is on thy hand
sail thy ship as you like
if i sink in the whirlpool of this world ocean
I know you are the master of this great ocean
Sail me across this world
the depth of this ocean is too deep
wave of this ocean is more that Everest mount
but i have to go across the world
Because my destination is far flung
thou art my master
i must obey you, as i know
you will never let me sink.

Telephone X
I see your hands they're on me
Just when you say hello
You see your words they drown me
Then there's a warmth below
My body and soul are feeling fine
And my body and soul, just killing time
When you ring my number, you ring my head
All the time for telephone sex
See my life just falling with you
I feel this rhythm draw me
But will I get my way
Your body slides beneath me
"Keep talking" I'll say
My body and soul are feeling fine
And my body and soul, just killing time

Well I wanted to know this love's forever
Wanted to feel this free together
Wanted to sleep, just dream whenever
Falling with you
When you ring my number, you ring my head

The early twilight is slowly falling
We see a myriad of hungry pigeons
circumventing the lawns of the park
while the early twilight is slowly falling
and cars and pickups draw red lines in the dark.
Your right hand feels hot in mine
while we walk talking on the promenade
and beneath us is the crushing breaking sea
while the city lies in the early night shade.
Moments linger as we embrace and our lips meet
while with you my life is content and sweet.
