Life's lessons...
What lies beyond the doorway,
Between this life and the next.
Could it be a court of souls,
Where we face our final test...
Shall they pick apart a life lived,
Shall they score it out of ten.
Send us on our next great journey,
So that we can do it all again...
Or is there just an empty void,
Where we shall fall forever and a day.
Through waves of deep emotions,
Where peace and love shall surely play...
Or is it just game over,
Coin in the slot and start again.
But if life's lessons are not heeded,
Once again begins the pain...
Spread the love... The peace will follow...

Crossroads
Standing at these crossroads yet again,
My internal satnav consumed by pain.
Nothing but darkness I seem to choose,
If I remain on this path I shall surely lose...
My sanity once more drowning in confusion,
My life's vision has become but an illusion.
I wander through this dream grasping at love,
How many more chances may come from above? ...
Amidst the gloom the light of promise shines,
It has the power to guide me to better times.
Yet these chances they are never plenty,
If I miss them I'll be running on empty...
This may be the final choice I shall make,
We should all learn with each breath that we take.
If life is but a lesson then death is merely a test,
An exam we must pass before our final rest...
Spread the love... The peace will follow...

The Journey of Life
We are all on our way on a journey
Each has a destiny to follow
Should be without being phoney
There is no way to get out of the lessons of life,
Must follow our own feeling
To play the game from the heart without any strife.
Some tries to be goody-goody, but fights against everything,
Making their life full with problems
Sickness, tragic and suffering.
Just follow your feelings and know life is just a dream,
If you choose kindness or turn out as a bad guy
Either way you get back what you sow
But time will pass as a gleam.
However, when one understands who he/she is
Life become a happy journey
With peace, contentment and no more unsolved crisis.
Young, middle aged and old are just illusions in time
The soul lives forever
We are just players on the stage, playing out our own line.

World Poetry Day,2012
Peace is what the world needs fast
Peace is required most
Peace can't come by waging wars
Peace is born through great efforts!
Peace can dwell when love prevails
Peace is the driving force
Peace must last forever to
Keep the world love life firstly
Peace is the priceless wealth much sought
Peace must start from homes
Peace must spread through all nations
And fill hearts and minds of men
Peace is one that brings progress
Peace can bridge differences
Peace is made by dialogues
Peace is the key to world's happiness

Painting dreams...
Gazing at an empty page,
Thoughts and emotions run wild.
A portrait of words come to life,
Like dreams of emotions dancing.
Images of us live on in written words,
Stirring my mind and emotions.
A world of dreams built within the mind,
Forever floating upon the emotions of fantasy...
Spread the love... The peace will follow...

Rythm of Life...
Like a wave born in a sea of imperfection,
We build steadily to reach a great crest.
To shatter upon the rocky shore of eternity,
Only to be swept back into life's turquiose expanse.
Forever reborn with each breath of the ocean.
Seeking to achieve a magnificent crescendo,
Receeding and gathering strength.
Bursting forth again to renew life's vigour,
Like a seed in the infancy of life.
Generously endowed with untold potential,
We gather strength from those around us.
Their love and care encircling us,
Only through love and peace may we blossom.
And with the freshness of life we shall sparkle,
Glowing in the radiance of such powerful emotions.
Our rythm of life shall beat eternal...
Spread the love... The peace will follow...

Lessons learned...
I sit and stare into the vastness of space,
Desperate to find my path and my place.
I ponder what's gone and what's yet to be,
When shall this heart I own ever be free.
Is it a known fact, or just a guess?
That life means little and death means less.
That through all this sorrow, grief and pain,
We shall live our life's in utter vain.
I like to think we're meant for much more,
That the life we live shall tally a score.
And the souls we lost amidst such sorrow,
Shall hold us close in our final tomorrow.
Yet the truth I fear is not what I yearn,
We should all seek to be a lesson to be learned.
For each generation must add to the last,
So we do not repeat the mistakes of our past...
Spread the love... The peace will follow...

I Believe (When I Fall In Love It Will Be Forever)
Shattered dreams, worthless years,
Here am I encased inside a hollow shell,
Life began, then was done,
Now I stare into a cold and empty well
The many sounds that meet our ears
the sights our eyes behold,
Will open up our merging hearts,
And feed our empty souls
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever
Without despair we will share,
And the joys of caring will not be replaced,
What has been must never end
And with the strength we have won't be erased
When the truths of love are planted firm,
They won't be hard to find,
And the words of love I speak to you
will echo in your mind
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever,
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever
I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again,
I'm so glad that I found someone to believe in again
God surely answered my prayer,
God surely answered by prayer,
You know God surely answered my prayer,
You know God surely answered my prayer,
God always will answer your prayers,
Believe in one who will answer my prayer,
Thank you God
Come on, let's fall in love,
You're the woman I've been waiting for,
Come on, let's fall in love,
You're the girl that I really adore,
Come on, let's fall in love...

Love for the sake of love...
Like a cleansing rain washing away all of life's indiscretions,
The child inside bathes me in a simple uncomplicated knowledge,
Rejuvinating my passion for the simple things in life,
That I may fianally see the wisdom that has stared me in the face,
Oh please let me be more than the sum of all my parts,
Lust, greed, vanity... Do not allow them to unmake me,
Allow me to see the beauty of life all around me,
Let me view with utter clarity the path of my future,
For the past is but a chain... And tomorrow is merely a dream,
As I meander through this life I plant the seeds of hope,
Inside all of the souls I touch and all of the one's I so love,
In the hope that their love shall bring forth a garden of unity,
On this journey through life we forge our own path,
Our own moral compass shall guide us through forever,
When my journey through this part of eternity has ended,
And you spare a moment to consider me, I hope...
You shall think of a soul who loved for the sake of love,
And a lover who died forgiven for all the times he failed...
Spread the love... The peace will follow...

The Blueprint...
When shall I feel I'm good enough?
As all of life's abrasions feel so rough.
When I journey deep within myself,
I see a broken soul left on the shelf...
Bruised and battered from all the pain,
When shall I ever feel whole again?
As I strive to be all that I can be,
The poet within bleeds inside of me...
Hopes and desires, I want so much more,
Yet I shall not become my dreamer's whore.
For my dreams they come from high above,
They are the blueprint of peace and love...
Spread the love... The peace will follow...

Bonded Souls
Although you shall never feel it, there is a soft touch
And tender kiss I give to you freely,
They shall linger longer than these bodies we posess,
After we are dust and gone from this life,
Their echoes whispering to you in your next.
In our journey through eternity we are bonded souls.
Our very beings shall cry out to one another,
Though the hands of time shall see us to our final rest,
That is not an ending for us, as a babe we are born,
With wisdom we die, if we listen within the dark of night,
Our souls can hear the echos of their past.
Two hearts entwined, two souls shared,
We are bonded souls, we are friends,
We are love to the other, a gift like no other...
Souls of age and youth we are,
Youth that requires flesh to comprehend,
And age that we know it must be,
We cannot halt our return to this mortal coil.
To learn and to love, that's what it's all for,
Flesh and bone are but the tools of a soul,
Throughout eternity we shall dance,
Forever and a day upon our stage of memories,
For we are bonded souls...
Spread the love... The peace will follow...

Life's passion...
As mother earth exhales life's passion,
I drink deeply her sweet nectar.
I stroll through her meadows and valleys,
A gusting breeze dances softly across my skin.
I crave the feel of her sweet caress,
She has the power to raise me from my prison.
To save me from myself so I may soar freely,
To gaze upon the beauty of all humanity.
She takes my dark thoughts and leaves only hope,
Seasons of love more beautiful than my senses can drink.
I see the purity of love and I bask in untainted emotions,
The beauty of life can bring peace from all the sorrow.
And on my journey, I find peace and love for all...
Spread the love... The peace will follow...

Heaven sent
There is much in this world that is lost to many of us,
So much want and need with so little understanding,
A desire to strive for the stars with so little love of life,
To seek out heaven at the cost of the life we live,
The wonder of curiosity lives strong within us all,
Yet if we engage the child within life becomes simple,
For the children of man crave peace, love and safety,
In paradise the wolf lays with the lamb,
For both are filled with the spirit of existance,
Nirvana is the place where life can be lived freely,
Where we are free to grow whithout boundaries,
No longer bound by our own concept of perfection,
Yet this Utopia can only become a beautiful truth,
When we embrace the idea of peace and love for all...
Spread the love... The peace will follow...

Friends...
There are those amongst us, souls so devine,
They intoxicate our being like the finest of wine.
They help us soar up to such a wonderous height,
They are our shining beacon in the darkest of night.
These souls are the friends we make on our way,
They bring purpose and meaning to all of our days.
As we journey through life they walk by our side,
Through pain and heartache they are there to guide.
These are the sacrafices they gladly shall make,
But to be friend is not all about how to take.
To have a friend you must know how to be a friend,
Only then will your journey be fruitful until the end...
Spread the love... The peace will follow...

Hurt...
It caresses the very fabric of my soul,
Suspended in a mere moment yet gone forever,
Into a vast sea of empty emotions raging,
Painful memories crashing upon life's shore,
Shattering into a thousand droplets of agony,
Seeping into the very core of my existance,
Haunting a heart blackened by angry words,
In the heat of such emotion only agony has suvived,
In the name of love, how did we cause so much hurt? ...
Spread the love... The peace will follow...

Great Hopes
We come to life with no great aim,
But step by step, our souls flame.
We crawl before we learn to walk.
We babble before we learn to talk.
We walk and make our first step,
With a lot of pain and a little help.
We make it then and start to run,
With too much love and too much fun.
But we are still with no great aims,
For life is still a bunch of games.
Then we grow up and pain begins,
And start to know of our sins.
We think we choose what we shall be,
But soon we change and start to see,
That we are made what we should be.
When we see that and stick to it,
We might succeed and make a hit.
Then we begin to set some goals,
Which will enrich our empty souls.
Yes hope springs eternal in the heart,
And brings us close to a head-start.
If goals are great, noble and high,
They will see light and soar so high.
So hitch your wagon to a star,
For greatness is just a step afar.

Burning World...
As the demons of ignorance run amock,
Those who would put actions above thought.
Those who think of self before the hurt of others,
No effort put into improving what has gone before.
Only the gathering of meaningless posessions,
The world we know crumbles around us, yet we allow it.
The goodness of life burns while evil grows stronger,
The lessons of the past undone in mere moments.
To be replaced by empty hearts and empty minds,
And the world we know burns around us...
Lets not allow the dreams of life to go up in smoke...
Spread the love... The peace will follow...
This poem was inspired by the recent UK Riots... When will we learn that violence solves nothing... Only love can set us free...

Grief - The Soul of Life
Laughter, Joy and Happiness is all people want,
We could do without grief, they say.
Little do they know that I don't just daunt,
I am their lives' X-Ray.
Happiness is only one side of the coin,
The other one is grief.
To curse, bane and torment they adjoin,
But its all just false belief.
Like the waves that rise and fall,
Life is but a journey.
Emotions you need to experience one and all,
It can't be just sugar and honey.
Grief is eternal, like a black hole,
A void in your life, a hole in your soul.

A love so true...
When passion conquers hesitation,
My love shall shine like a revelation.
All the moments that failed to make me whole,
Shall melt away and cleanse my soul...
This dreamers heart you tease and taunt,
Stealing my emotions without thought.
I see the secrets held within your eyes,
All shall be revealed before love dies...
Hearts beating together in harmony,
This meeting of souls shall set us free.
Across the heavens we waltz together,
A journey that shall fill forever and ever...
When the future becomes as the present,
A dream from above that was heaven sent.
In this moment I shall commit to you,
And once and for all, know a love so true...
Spread the love... The peace will follow...
