Why do you have to translate and decode things? Just let the image be. It will have a special kind of reality that it won't once it's decoded.

Special

I been trying for so long
To get you where I stand
Feel like I been climbing all my life
Everybody told me
I'd never ever get this far
I know I can make it if I try
There's the special things that come your way
?I'll be praying? no matter what they say
Special things that somehow come to you
(come to you, you too, to you, do to, be do, you)
Special things come to you
There's no sense in trying to fight it
When I want something so bad
No, it's not as easy as it seems
Simple things are the hardest
Of the things we do for love
And I won't give up cause I'm not just what it means
The special things you dream about
And the special things you're all about
Special things that somehow come to you
And it's the simple things to just believe
And the special things that you want to see
Special things somehow come to you
(come to you, doo doo doo, to you, doo doo doo)
Special things (doo, doo ahh, you doo)
Do do doo, on you, do do doo, to you
Do doo, ahh, do do doo, too
There's the special things that come your way
?I'll be praying? no matter what they say
Special things that somehow come to you
The special things you dream about
And the special things you're all about
Special things that somehow come to you
There's the special things that come your way
?I'll be praying? no matter what they say
Special things that somehow come to you
And it's the simple things to just believe
And the special things that you want to see
Special things somehow come to you

Dreaming Hereafter

If i ask what would be most profoundest of dream
The answer would be imagining hereafter
The man himself is twice removed from reality
Due to the fallacy created by the charm of non-reality
Which is quite abysmal in taste devoid of scent
Like a scentless flower like a trashy substance in a basket
The buds can only bloom where where there is reality with meaning
Which is not the copy of copy to decode its meaning
That world is unimaginable with its frugality
And the fact is actually a factual reality

Its a very special kind of life
No ones really quite sure about their situation
Its a very funny kind of life
The only thing were positive about is the duration
Now they are standing right before you
How they were here before you
Hes a very special kind of guy
When he crosses the street he looks in both directions
Hes a very special kind of guy
And youre always wondering if hes lost his senses
Shes a very special kind of girl
And her mothers recipes have made a good thing famous
Shes a very special kind of girl
And shes always up in arms if hes late for breakfast
Now they are standing right before you
How they were here before you
Hes a very special kind of guy
When you hear him on the air you think hes lost his section
Shes a special special kind of girl
When you see her in the street you want to raise objection
Now they are standing right before you
How they were here before you
Its a very special kind of life
No ones really knows the truth about the situation
Its a very funny kind of life
The only thing were positive about is the duration

Don't Wanna Let You Go

Everybody wants to have a girl like you
But I'm the one and it's right
Somebody comes along and says they play your song
My wish becomes his delight
He'll try to take you from me
Don't wanna let you go
Not gonna get far from me
Don't wanna let you go
Your special your one of a kind (so...)
Don't wanna let you go
Some things money can't buy
Your smiles pasted
My time is wasted
You say I told you so, told you so
You can't tell lies from facts
He'll try to hold you back
You make the tension grow, grow and grow
He'll try to take you from me
Don't wanna let you go
Your not gonna get far from me
Don't wanna let you go
Your special your one of a kind (so...)
Don't wanna let you go
Some things money can't buy...
Don't wanna let you go
Don't wanna let you go
Everybody wants to have a girl like you
But I'm the one and it's right
And somebody comes along and says he plays your song
My wish becomes his delight
He'll try to take you from me
Don't wanna let you go
Your not gonna get far from me
Don't wanna let you go
Your special your one of a kind (so...)
Don't wanna let you go
Some things money can't buy...
Don't wanna let you go
Your special your one of a kind (so...)
Don't wanna let you go
Some things money can't buy...
Don't wanna let you go
Don't wanna let you go
Don't wanna let you go
He'll try to take you away from me
Don't wanna let you go, let you go, oh no no no (yeah)

In My Uniqueness

i am so special
i am so special
i am a winner
not a loser
a conqueror, born to conquer
from zero, to a hero
from nothing, to something
nobody, to somebody
from grass, to grace
came out of darkness
to show my ways
my God created me special
i am so special
heavenly king, i will reign
power over sorrow
and from pain
good in name
and of fame
good in spirit
and in mind
one of it kind
you will never, ever find
i am so special
so so special

I dont always show it
But youre so important to me
So much that weve shared
Youve always been there
I hope you always will be

Brings comfort and warmth to my heart
A god-given treasure

Yes, you are something special, yes indeed
Yes, you are something special to me

Like the song that they sing
But theres so many things that you are
An angel in my life

And you hung the moon and the stars

Success And Image And The Face Of It

Those who say,
Looks aren't everything!
Aren't the ones who are judged,
Based solely upon them.

And besides...
This can be deducted,
From what many prize.
Thick lips, nappy hair and brown eyes...
Are not considered standards,
By those who analyze.
Not for a beauty,
Considered to be immortalized.

No matter who is competent...
In a package that is presented!
If it doesn't suit the taste,
For those who select an image to digest.
As an appearance,
That suggests success...
And not a waste to regret.
It will be the 'image' one picks,
Over a competence that 'may' exist.

'But hasn't it been image and not substance,
That has increased in an invited decadence? '

Well...
Yes.

'But who in reality today believes? '

Remember this...
Image speaks volumes.
And easier to hype.
On the other hand...
Reality is something placed,
On an equality wish list...
Not too soon to happen,
For the sake of changing...
Success and image and the face of it!

I never want to turn something down because I'm afraid to do it, because of some idea of image or whatever. That was never anything I set out to do. In fact, the opposite, I always want to confuse people in terms of any kind of image and be unpredictable in any kind of movie I make.

A Special Brown Eyed Angel

A Special Brown Eyed Angel
Was once sent to me
To bring me a light of hope
And inspire me, don't you see

A Special Brown Eyed Angel
She touched me in my heart
At the time she didn't know it
But she touched it from the start

A Special Brown Eyed Angel
She still inspires me yet today
And though it's been several years now
Right in my heart is where she'll stay

A Special Brown Eyed Angel
With eyes that sparkle into the night
And with that special smile
It tells me things will be alright

A Special Brown Eyed Angel
She is truely a God send
And when I'm down and out
Her heart is there for the lend

A Special Brown Eyed Angel
Seems to know when I need a mend
And comes checking on me
As if we were some kind of twins

A Special Brown Eyed Angel
She always seems to understand
Always reaching out to help
And giving her helping hand

A Special Brown Eyed Angel
There is no doubt, she was a Heaven send
I am so proud to know her
And even prouder to call her my friend

An Image

An image made by man's design and skills,
What home will you build for me?
An image made by man's imaginations,
An image is what you are;
I was trained with an 'iron-hand' so,
Your 'soft-hands' will not bend me.
Once bitten by a snake,
Twice being afraid of an earthworm;
What kind of love will you share with me?

All lawful things are clean,
A meesage from Candace the Queen of Ethiopia;
Peace is the right choice than war,
Love is the right choice than hate,
All lawful things are truly clean.
When the saints sit among you,
You will know them by their works;
LIke 'MS Columbus',
LIke 'Queen Mary 1',
Like 'MS Aidaaura',
Like 'MS Deutschland',
LIke 'Queen Mary 2',
Like 'Sedov',
Like 'MS Astor',
But light travels faster than sound;
And, all lawful things are clean.

Peace is better than war,
Love is better than hate,
And you don't need whitewashed walls.
When the saints sit among you,
You will know them by their fruits;
Like the land of the singers,
Like the land of the artists,
Like the land of the writers,
Like the land of the mathematicians,
Like the land of the cities at fifty;
All lawful things are really clean.
An image is what you are and,
This world is full of them;
Like the image made from a man's hand,
Of which we are all part of it.

Think You Are Better

Look in the mirror
What do you see
Someone who is special
For there is no one else like me
I may not have the best looks
Or money or fame
But God made me special
For He knows my name
He formed me in His image
Like He did you
So it might not be apparent
I'm alot like you
So if you think of putting me down
Remember we have the same FATHER
So you are no better than me

A Special magic

When you are upset and sick at heart
And everything feels falling apart

Then instead of feeling down indeed
Look for the kind and a thoughtful deed

And use that very special magic
that surely can overcome your tragic

And make all things seems worthwhile
And share all your trouble's pile

And can bring you all kinds of peace
That know how to overcome and cease

Your troubles and then bring you light
And tell you the day ahead is bright

And let you sing hope's joyful song
Which can help you when things go wrong

And that very special magic is smile
Which make all things seems worthwhile.

China Pig

When the stiff wind blows
The flag don't wiggle
In the party of special things to do
I met the ace of love
She took me to her plantation
For the love without separation
In the party of special things to do
It could happen to me
It could happen to you
I met the ace of love
She said I want you to go
To the party of special things to do
And when you're through
I'll be right here waiting for you
Here take these sparks
So my distant cousins can get along with you
Watch out for the mirror man
And elixir sue
When I got to the party of special things to do
It wasn't hard to find Elixir Sue
I met all the cards
The wild cards
The one-eye jill
The red queen
She turned her head
You know what I mean
She turned it back and said
"I got a brand new game I want to lay on you"
I met them all
At the party of special things to do
When I was done
I was far from through
I returned to the ace of love
Now wouldn't you?
I met them all
The camel wore a nightie
The camel wore a nightie
At the party of special things to do
...elixir sue
It wasn't hard to find liquor at the do
I met all the cards
The wild cards
You know what I mean
Then she turned it back and said
"I got a brand new game I think I want to lay on you"
I met elixir sue
At the party of special things to do
It's so special

Many Can Teach Few Can Write

many can teach and be good teachers
some even aspiring excellent teachers
but few can image write wondrous words

who are now waiting among
those who have words worth writing
words waiting to be written?

writing will cost much
demanded much
then will cost yet more

a small fortune in wages
wages spent not made
still to be spent and yet

accumulative cost is nothing
for there are hunger hearts
minds waiting for these words

looking even searching
for quest sought words
therefore it matters not

if for a specific poem
or passage paragraph
only a few or one is searching

these thoughts
are important
still must be written

some of what we write
even much of what we write
is of no prime importance

but that small portion
which is important
that tiny potent seed

which is important
must be written
translate many can translate

some even translate
almost perfectly precise
but those writing

original thoughts
are far more precious
and their words

will also in their time
be sought after read
but there time is not yet

that which is not
written cannot
be read

therefore write
write
and write well

The first love

No night is equal to the first night;
No love is equal to the first love.
The first love and the first night will be
Soft with youth’s dew and hot with youth’s fire.

The first love develops no wrinkles
When bones turn brittle and glands, sapless.
The first love has no age in one’s mind.
The withered one returns to its spring.

It’s in eyes where the first love is born
And in those eyes it would live its life.
Confronted even after decades,
These eyes would bear the same dew and fire.

The conversation of eyes is a form
Of communication that eyes alone
Can translate and to replace it,
No language is yet born anywhere.

The code the pair of twin eyes conveyed
Cannot be decoded by other eyes.
The first love might be an infantile death.
It won’t mar the pleasure of its first birth.

Do not feel you are special, let others feel so

It is natural that
Each one of us is
Special and unique
In his or her own way
Problem it becomes
When we feel strongly about it
And when no others
Come up and tell
You are special

We all do things
But will not do things
The same way others do
We have our own way
And style of doing that
Others gauge our performance
Based on the quality of the outcome
Punctuality, consistency
And very importantly
Our attitude to what we do
All of us differ in all these aspects
And in that we stay special and unique

It is but human nature
To expect others to
Recognize what is done
And come out with a word of appreciation,
Which is a sort of motivation
But others are not that generous
To tell great things about what you have done
Often they are quick to find out
The lapses in your performances
This is where, all of us get stuck
And feel bad about it

You have the right to feel
You are special and unique
But do not expect others
To feel that
You can, however, make them feel so
And recognize your great things
By the quality of performance and
Your attitude towards it

Do not feel special about you
Let others do so
By your excellence

You are wise enough

I say to you that I love your poems
Because I can’t say that I love you.
I say to you that you have a kind heart
Because I can’t say you are my sweetheart.
You are nice to accept my compliments;
I’m encouraged by your supplements.
You must be wise enough to decode my words.
With this faith, I enjoy your company.
