A warm welcome
You have touched me like high speed wind
I was flying with emotions and couldn’t find
It was immense pleasure to hold on in grip
Tears almost rolled on cheeks but couldn’t weep
As you closed on to paste the warm welcome
The whole world seemed to have nearly come
I was wondering what it was all about
It was slow whispering and not big shout
You teased me to bring very close
As if you wanted something to disclose
I shut my eyes half closed and half open
You wanted the new page soon to reopen
I tried to utter few words through lips
They failed to respond to nice tips
I wanted them to close on without breath
I was simmering with fear to near death
I couldn’t laugh it with joy
You were all for it to enjoy
I wished to express it freely
To fall in line and enjoy it merrily
I surrendered to wished with no more questions
I had all but no more ambitions
It was heaven in your tight grip
I did try to have few seconds to sleep
What magic were you doing?
Was it simple try for wooing?
I was in for it at any cost
You had succeeded for it almost
I was not in position to measure
It was giving me tremendous pleasure
Can you hold me more and pleasantly reassure?
A simple word for whole life to secure
I needed you whole of my life
I could be better half as your wife
It may move on as two wheels
The life to scale on high hills

El Sol
Empty-armed
And half a soul to go
And all I wanted
Was you here next to me
A little sunshine and sympathy
Now everybody knows
That Ive been hanging down so low
cause now Im feeling up
Soon Ill be feeling out so cold
Wondering, will you call
And now Im feeling high
Soon Ill be feeling left for dead
Sometimes someone saying yes
Changes what youll bet
And all I wanted
Was just to hold you close
A little sunshine
Just to butter my toast
And your love next to mine
I had to let you know
That we were meant to be just right
Heaven sent, not sympathized
By everybodys lie
And now Im feeling high
Now Im feeling left so dead
Kicking up the dust in bed
Wondering, I guess
Sunshine
Sunshine
Sunshine
And some tea
And your love
Your love
Your love next to mine
I had to let you know
I had to let you go so i
Could see my lie fade from your eyes
And to my surprise
Thats what I wanted
Its all I wanted
Its what I wanted
Me and you
Sunshine
Sunshine
Sunshine
And some tea
Thats all I wanted
Its all I wanted
Thats all I wanted
Its all I wanted

I Couldn't Write The Poem I Wanted To Write
I couldn't write the poem I wanted to write-
I do not know why exactly
Some days it works
And some nights it works
And some times it just does not work at all-
I couldn't write the poem I wanted to write-
There have been so many things in my life
I have wanted to do
And not been able to-
As I grow older
I fear there will be more and more simple things
I will not be able to do.
So much of what we are
Is in these failures-
I sometimes think how sad it is
That I have failed in so many things-
All my life I have known failures
And it will not end until I do-
I couldn't write the poem I wanted to write,
And this is not it, either.

Get A Grip
I see it on the tv, its playing on my mind,
Everything I see has got something to do with killing my brother.
Just another mind game? or maybe its a sign,
When the child with a gun holds it up to the head of his brother.
Well that aint nice. gotta get a grip, gotta get a hold on life,
Gotta get a grip cause youre gonna slip, yeah.
Somebody tell me, where did we lose?
Wheres the point that we lost the control to live with each other?
Mister politician, searching for a lie.
Whats the truth? will the youth find the proof for a revolution?
Cause that aint nice, gotta get a grip, gotta get a hold on life
Gotta get a grip cause youre gonna slip, on ice,
Gotta get a grip, gotta get a hold on life
Gotta get a grip cause youre gonna slip
Gotta get a hold of the situation, gotta get you into my life,
Gotta get a hold and get it moving.
I cant tell you what you need to know its up to you, oh yeah
That aint nice, gotta get a grip, gotta get a hold on life
Gotta get a grip, cause youre gonna slip, on ice,
Gotta get a grip, gotta get a hold on life
Gotta get a grip cause youre gonna slip.
Gotta get a hold of the situation, gotta get a hold on life,
Gotta get a grip and get it moving,
I cant tell you what you need to know, its up to you, oh yeah.
Dont your blood run cold, dont the sorrow show,
Hold on tight to what you have.
See it in your eyes, dont it make you cry,
Get a grip and shake the can.
Get a grip, yeah, get a grip, yeah, get a grip, yeah,
Get a grip, get a grip, get a grip, get a grip, get a hold.
Get a grip on life, get a grip on life, get a grip on life,
Yeah get a grip.

The End Of The World
Go if you want to
I never tried to stop you
Know there's a reason
For all of this you're feeling
Low, it's not my call
You couldn't ever love me more
You couldn't love me more
You couldn't love...
Me - I don't show much
It's not that hard to hide you
See in a moment
I can't remember how to
Be all you wanted
I couldn't ever love you more
I couldn't love you more
I couldn't love...
You want me to cry and play my part
I want you to sigh and fall apart
We want this like everyone else
Stay if you want to
I always wait to hear you say
There's a last kiss
For all the times you run this way
It's not my fault
You couldn't ever love me more
You couldn't love me more
You couldn't love...
Love me more
Couldn't ever love me more
I couldn't love you more
I couldn't love
You want me to lie not break your heart
I want you to fly not stop and start
We want us like everything else
Maybe we didn't understand
Not just a boy and a girl
It's just the end of the
End of the world
Me - I don't say much
It's far too hard to make you
See in a moment
I still forget just how to
Be all you wanted
I couldn't ever love you more
I couldn't love you more
I couldn't love you more
I couldn't love you more
I couldn't love you more

Couldn't Find Another Man
If I knew that this would all
Come down to a sad goodbye
I would see it through
Till the tears burned my eyes
Cause the loving that you give to me
So true and profound
Is the sweetest gift I have ever found
If I had to fight fire
You know I'd find a way
For a love that is sacred
I would fight until my last day
[Chorus:]
I couldn't find another man
Who loves me like you do
I couldn't hold another hand
that holds me quite like you
Such a love is heaven-blessed
Couldn't find another man
Only you can set my heart on fire
Or fill my life with pain
And no matter if I laugh or cry
I love you just the same
Cause the moment that I hold you close
I see in your eyes
With a silent stare

Like Her Mom Did
Tears run down her face
Her dad can tell it wasn’t a good day
She wanted to tell what was wrong
She wished that she could sing that song
Like her mom did
Her dad knew there was nothing he could say
She knew that she couldn’t ever pay
Her dad felt the heat in the room
He knew he needed to save her from doom
Like her mom did
She fled to her room and shut the door
Just as rain from her eyes began to pour
She turned on the radio to clam her down
She blasted it as high to the loudest sound
Like her mom did
As her dad knocked on the door
Trying not to bang or break the floor
All he wanted was to know what was wrong
All she wanted was to remember the song
That her mom sang

I couldn't stay
I am dead now.
Becuase I couldn't stay.
I didn't know how.
In the end life lost it's shine.
My life never was to glow.
I didn't want to grow.
I couldn't stay any longer.
Everything I touch went wrong.
I destroyed everything I touched.
I was hurting people most close to me.
They'll be better off without me.
I could't stay in the fight.
Some how I knew I'd lose in the end.
I never wanted any of this.
But I did want my death.
I just couldn't stay.

Going Home
Slipping away in a pool
of my own blood staring at the heavens
as i slipping aways welcome
me with open arms brother
as were together once again
hold me close grand ma
your baby boy home
and tell dad am sorry
but couldn't move on
never meant to bring
tears to your eyes mom
but getting to know life has
proven to be more of a
challenge then i can handle
seeing you again is all
i ever wanted to do bro
cry no baby sis am
here and together forever
as i leave

All I Ever Wanted
What are you going to say and what are you going to do ?
What are you going to say and what are you going to do ?
Too good
You could
Be so misunderstood
Snow pure
Demure
Don't feel so insecure
Heaven would be lonely without you
You satisfy the need in me
No-one makes me feel the way you do
What are you going to say and what are you going to do ?
What are you going to say and what are you going to do ?
Maligned
You'll find
A strength to ease your mind
Trust fate
Relate
This trial you'll tolerate
Summer would be bitter without you
You satisfy the need in me
Sunshine couldn't warm me like you do
Devotion's what you read in read
All I ever wanted
Was to be with you just to be with you
All I ever wanted
Just to be with you to be free with you
Review
Brand new
You know you'll see it through
From now
I wow
They'll take what you allow
Paradise so dreary without you
I couldn't last a day without you
Nothing else could take the place of you
You know I wouldn't stay without you
All I ever wanted
Was to be with you just to be with you
All I ever wanted
Just to be with you to be free with you
Yeah be with you
All I ever wanted
Come on be with you
To be free with you
Totally with you
Hey be with you
All I ever wanted
I believe in you
I believe in you
Hey hey yeah
What are you going to say and what are you going to do ?
What are you going to say and what are you going to do ?
What are you going to say and what are you going to do ?
What are you going to say and what are you going to do ?
All I ever wanted
Just to be with you
Just to be with you
All I ever wanted
Want to be with you
Got to be with you
All I ever wanted
Was to be with you
Just to be with you
All I ever wanted
Just to be with you
To be free with you
Yeah be with you
All I ever wanted
Come on be with you
Be with you
All that I want to do
Hey be with you
All I ever wanted
Come on be with you
Everything that I do
Yes I do it for you
Yeah be with you
All I ever wanted
Come on be with you

So far away from life
Close my eyes

You...all i ever wanted is you, my love
Your're all i ever wanted, just you
Let me never see the sun
And never see you smile

I Wish
I wished I had called to see if you were OK
But I was so caught up in my life
To even worry about your.
I wished I had been there for you
But I was to busy drinking
To even worry about you.
I wished I had cared more
But all I wanted was to escape
Even from you
I wished I had taken you seriously
But you tend to lie a lot
And I couldn't take you seriously
I wished I had told you I felt the same way
But I didn't want anyone to know I was in pain
Not even you
I wished you didn't feel like it was something you had to do
I wished you would of never pulled that trigger that night
I wished you could come back
I wished I told you that I loved you
But all theses excuses I make and wishes
Won't change the fact that your gone.
A glimpse
a glimpse
the half opened door
some would say
a half closed door
it all depends on the
state of mind you are in
well half closed for pessismist
and half opened for optimist
half opened or half closed door
so long as it is open
and not close
a good exercise for the mind
of a story teller, novelist, a film maker
a glimpse at the half closed door
the mind is thrown open
like the kick you would give
a half opened door
so that you and pet cat could
glide through easily
the stories that start coming out
from a glimpse at the half opened door
agatha's murdered corpse lying behind
a stalker, a ghost in the corridor of the mind
from the glimpse of the half closed door
a million possibilities, ideas pouring forth
half closed door, half opened door
whichever way you may say
it is an opened door
a million stories, ideas, possibilities
knock at the door of my mind
a glimpse of the half closed, half opened door
my half closed half opened eyes
open themselves to my ever curious mind
boundless as the universe
inspired by
A Glimpse
A GLIMPSE, through an interstice caught,
Of a crowd of workmen and drivers in a bar-room, around the stove,
late of a winter night-And I unremark'd seated in a corner;
Of a youth who loves me, and whom I love, silently approaching, and
seating himself near, that he may hold me by the hand;
A long while, amid the noises of coming and going-of drinking and
oath and smutty jest,
There we two, content, happy in being together, speaking little,
perhaps not a word.

Half A World Away
This could be the saddest dusk
Ive ever seen
Turn to a miracle
High alive
My mind is racing
As it always will
My hand is tired my heart aches
Im half a world away here
My head sworn
To go it alone
And hold it along
Haul it along
And hold it
Go it alone
Hold it along and hold, hold.
This lonely deep sit hollow
Im half a world
Half the world away
My shoes are gone
My life spent
I had too much to drink
I didnt think
And I i didnt think of you
I guess thats all I needed
To go it alone
And hold it along
Haul it along
And hold it
Blackbirds backwards forwards and fall and hold hold.
Oh this lonely world is wasted
Pathetic eyes high alive
Blind to the tide that turns the sea
This storm it came up strong
It shook the trees
And blew away our fear
I couldnt even hear
To go it alone
And hold it along
Haul it along
And hold it
To go it alone
And hold it along
Haul it along
To go it alone
And hold it along
Haul it along
And hold it
Blackbirds backwards forwards and fall and hold hold.
This could be the saddest dusk
Ive ever seen
Turn to a miracle
High alive
My mind is racing
As it always will
My hands tired my heart aches
Im half a world away and go.

Bit and Chased a Little High Life
I bit and chased a little high life.
And it was something that I thought I liked.
My eyes were open wide and bright.
I felt a feeling inside exciting.
I bit and chased a little high life.
And it was something that I thought I liked.
The life I lived became a bore.
I explored the wish of wanting much more.
I bit and chased a little high life.
I couldn't rid it out of my sight.
No one could say that wasn't me.
Something that teased I needed desperately.
I bit and chased a little high life.
My mind was closed to any good advice.
But one day my bubble was pinched.
I fell to Earth and regained common sense,
Then!
I fell to Earth and distanced all pretentions.
And now,
My life...
Is freed.

Bare-Back Rider (A Lucid Dream)
He was a stallion
A big black horse, I was
Astride his back, muscular, bare
Hanging on to mere tufts
of his shiny black hair
I don’t know how I got there
It seemed like a dream
Me on this big horse galloping
through a dark forest thick with trees
with gnarly branches reaching for me
Terrified I crouch as low as I can
Try to grip the horse’s flesh
but I couldn't so I hold on
to his mane for dear life
and with a prayer I close my eyes
Don’t throw me off
Don’t let this forest take me
Don't leave me here
This nightmare will devour me
Please go slow dear horse
Don't stumble and fall
Be careful of the rocks
And branches hanging low
But he would not go slow, oh no!
He was on a mission
To where I didn’t know
I had no choice but to hold on
Clinging for my life
Praying the branches won’t
Hit him in the eyes
So I stay there like that, eyes shut
My body as close to to his as I could get
My face pressed to his neck
I cry, wracked with fear
Certain I would die right there
After a while, after what seemed like ages
And nothing happening
Only the sound of hoofs
and the wind whipping
I suddenly realize...
This horse is bigger than me
If the branches don’t hit him
How can they hit me
He is not afraid of the dark
If he's not afraid of dying
Why should I be
Slowly I sit upright
Slowly I open my eyes
The scenery had changed
The rider and the horse are now
One and the same

Rock Stars
(this is one of my first song i wrote and i hope it lifts your spirits and lets you know everything will be okay, and god loves you no matter what)
She moves to L.A, wants to be sombody
three and a half years later shes still not anbody
she still hoping for a break while she waiting tables
realizing some dreams are fables
frear grows when she knows that shes out of control
throwing up in the bathroom, hoping noby knows
and she fears shes a failure she forgets that god loves her
you tried and you failed hold you head up high
you climbed and you fell hold your head up high
hold your head up hold your head up high
cuz if its not okay to to fall sometimes its not okay to be
if they dont want us its okay honest
it doesnt have to bring me down
let them say we're not big rockstars
its not what we're about
we dont have to be rockstars!
They said hed never make it maybe their right
his parents never believed that his dreams could take flight
all he ever wanted was for them to be proud of him
it was the whole world to him
he needed to win
he gave his everything but sometimes its not enough
he thinks hes a failure now hes not worth being loved
he forgets he had the courage to climb up sp high, the courage to climb up so high, the courage to fly
cuz if we never make it ever then its going to be okay with me
cuz if its not okay to fall sometimes its not okay to be
if they dont want us its okay honest
it doesnt have to bring me down
let them say we're not big rockstars
its not what we're about
we dont have to be rockstars...
we dont have to be rockstars....!
its not about success life is not a test
you dont pass or fail you just do your best
to see the view from the wings of courage
to see the view from the wings of courage
to push on thru when your discouraged
its all about the try.
all about the ride
learning how you were meant to touch the sky
failures are flyers who touch down
only they know what its like to leave the ground
you tried and you failed hold your head up high
you climbed and you failed hold you head up high
you tried and failed hold your head up high
hold your head up hold your head up high
cuz if we never make it ever then
its gonna be okay with me
cuz if its not okay to fall sometimes its not okay to be
if they dont want us its okay honest
it doesnt have to bring me down
let them say we; re not big rockstars
its not what we're about
we dont have to be rockstars...
we dont have to be rockstar...!

Valentines` day...
Happy Valentine’s day...
On this day I wished that you were with me...
On this day I wanted to give you a red rose...
On this day I wanted to give you my sympathy...
On this day I wanted to give you loyalty
On this specail day I wanted to give you more love...
but my pen was incapable of writing...
helpless to express what is inside my heart...
unable to describe my great love for you....
I walked a lot...
I thought more and more...
I couldn`t find what you deserve best…
so, ,
I am giving all my poems to you...

The Departing Wish
The dying body wanted to say something
Too frail, it spoke only with eyes
One can do little around the time it dies!
The wife, the son, the ones close to him
Pressed the ears on the faintly parting lips
Death is surely winning, yea, its scale tips!
The body lay dying with just enough to cover shame
Audience was the living witness, of this silent mayhem
Eager to know the last word, or some last name!
The dying’s eyes dilated before they narrowed to slit
It couldn’t say, they didn’t know, what was it?
“Naked I was born, and make me that as I perish,
Remove my clothes”, was its last departing wish!

Don’t open your eyes yet not until I explain last night I went to bed with Sleep last night I fell for Sleep last night Sleep unclothed me left me naked in a room painted black I couldn’t see Sleep because Sleep was dark too and the room was black and the foreground blended in with the background I couldn’t tell what was far and what was close I became frustrated because Sleep was either hiding inside the room or the room was hiding behind Sleep neither were being fair to my eyes who wanted to play hide and go Sleep I hide inside the room and Sleep seeks I said where are you Sleep I can’t see you my eyes can’t find you Sleep I said I wanted to fall inside you brought me into this black room and I am trying to wrap myself around you won’t you come inside of me you won’t stage scenes in my eyes created with color everything is black one long stretch Sleep are you moving and I can’t see you or are you standing still and I can’t feel you are here Sleep you are silent Sleep I feel alone Sleep I want you to be inside me if you take me to a black room and make me go to bed are your eyes open I can’t see you did you leave is Sleep here Sleep am I inside you explain Sleep explain did you open your eyes Sleep are my eyes open Sleep are you outside me Sleep you took me to bed and left me Sleep I can’t open my eyes until you are back inside me I can’t see Sleep when you’re not inside me open your eyes Sleep do you see me inside you explain last night am I still inside Sleep?
