Shining not real
All shining is not in real shine
It is purely on path of decline
You forget the way to dine
Even if you not intoxicated with wine
Age is as such and takes by storm
The relation is growing and remains warm
The lava is cooling inside and tries to come out
All hidden desires and what to talk and not to talk about
It is not the fault mild win or gentle air
Everything is seemed unusual and not fair
It gives me upbeat warning of some danger
I am eloping with unknown and complete stranger
I will fall for him and suffer
Mind clash with heart and differ
Still I submit in recognition
I think I may face admonition
Today he is no more in life
I am away and somebody’s wife
It is cutting through flesh by knife
Life is torn with simple strife
I shall be doing it often
It will be objected by me even
Yet it is same act of surrender
I live under constant fear
There is nothing as such about me
I am not at liberty to feel free
It is some one who comes to me and performs
The act is one sided and does not require to inform
I do not know where do I stand?
Is he life partner or merely a friend?
I think none but mere for mechanical act
Where I lay on bed and does not react
It is killing me from inside
Yet I can do nothing to confide
I have only unknown enemies
Though many may stay near in families
I have nothing to hide except emotions
There remain many unanswered questions
I lay on bed with eyes wide open
Can any one come near make hearts to reopen?

Who Can Be Real Friend?
Noble, simple and honest friend
Who can take you to logical end?
Never put you in shame and always offer
All help in time and opinion never differ
Not always agreeing yes in yes
Even criticism you may always face
Pay sometime price for having friendship
Never shed tears and but hide and weep
Consider problem as of his own
Friend’s problem never disown
Even at personal risk relation maintain
Danger, if any, keep off and contain
Insist on not doing anything wrong
Decline the offer but walk along
Thwart any move which may lead to fall
Show the correct path with timely call
Many may suggest to go in bar
Long highway race in speeding car
Such friends deserve complete bar
Real friend may remain always far
He, who is real friend, stands to loose
Still he remains and nice friends choose
It is his real vision and long sight
In the real crisis he will prove right
This is simple advice and call
You should think ahead and always recall
Past mistakes rectified in future’s plan
Keeping away bad friends with permanent ban
This will prevent you from landing in trouble,
Bad friends will disappear as water bubble
Real will stay at the end of the race
Problem, if any, may not run away and face
Friends are indeed life’s part and parcel
Bright at studies and in performance excel
I wish and pray for such friend circle
Life long friendship bond like magic and

Liberty
Liberty rings loud and clear,
Freedom is what it means, my dear,
When we forget to feel fear,
When all that is love draws near,
That is when you will know I care!
Tomorrow is too late,
Heaven already knows your fate,
Why would you want to wait,
Now is the time to be great!
Liberty is new life,
The freedom to love your wife,
To be free of strife,
Time to put down the knife!
Today is the time, to wipe away the grime,
Heal all the wounds,
See the beauty that surrounds us,
Find the beauty that hides within us all!
See the light inside of everyone,
Time to put down those guns,
Listen to that tiny cry inside,
Let us all open our hearts wide,
Liberty and freedom all around,
Let love's laugh be the only sound!

Harsh Decision
How difficult is it to take harsh decision?
It may not be in totality with precision
Yet it is inevitable and must be taken
The words did hurt me more when they were spoken
I love peace and behave as normal man
Same way it may be with caring woman
Sometimes things go out of control and slip away
Make rupture in relation and find no way
It just child like behavior with acts
They may not be ware of the simple facts
Whether in drunken state or in routine way
It compels person to keep distance and stay away
Nights are very cool and only answer
All complaints vanish in seconds and rain shower
What makes them to forget complete bitterness?
Bring all the happiness and shine on the face
It is nice tool to serve the mankind
Some scuffle or downward trend no one may mind
They must try sincerely for the reasonable way out
Otherwise there won’t be anything to talk about
First and foremost thing is to break the impasse
The beauty lies in its worthwhile fairness as class
How come you go with innocent face to compromise?
Forget about adamant stand and start with fresh promises
Life can be made full of love with happy journey
Such things can’t be had with the help of money
You may feel it great when receive warm welcome
Wife is at the door and waiting for arrival at home
It is royal stay in each other’s embrace
Poor and rich enjoy with same shine on face
Nothing to loose but everything to gain
Joy and happiness all over without any pain
Life can be made or look like calm ocean
It is our duty to keep it blue and clean
Little movement underneath belt may aggravate
The vehicle may certainly crash at the gate
I may sleep today with eyes open
Give a second chance to reopen
Old relation with strong resolve
Stay together and fully involve

Frozen to Death
I wanted not to be frozen to death
As it was life time wish to remain with
Fear was just gripping me from inside
Chances were there and differences very wide
I can afford no more isolation
As I have developed sound relation
It is fine tuning with you on sound footing
No more trouble ideas are shooting
I can have no peace with disturbed news
My relation with you can’t have any more reviews
It is firm and never getting strained
Little upset thought makes me completely drained
I would prefer death in your hand
This may prove to be real companion and friend
Life can be meaningless if there is no aim
I would love to be very near and earnestly claim
I have placed my existence at your door
I shall be nothing and look very poor
It is you who has made me priceless
I can move among people with bright face
Each day brings me message of love
I remain calm and peacefully drove
You are at heart and very much in centre
No other man can simply occupy the position or enter
Some unknown factors trouble
I loose the patience and fumble
I shiver with some cold in spine
There something more to make me feel fine
I would want that you stay always near
Make me comfortable without any fear
I shall be worry free in your presence
This I feel is true and real essence

Fair Warning
You know, wishing wont make it so
Hoping wont do it, praying wont do it
Religion wont do it, philosophy wont do it
The supreme court wont do it,
The president and the congress wont do it
The un wont do it, the h-bomb wont do it,
The sun and the moon wont do it
And God wont do it,
And I certainly wont do it
That leaves you, youll have to do it
I know that youve been wondering
If Im the same man inside
Never tried to fool you
cause Ive got nothing to hide
I gave you fair warning I could never be tied down
til Ive seen paradise with my very own eyes
Love owns us all, time owns us all, life owns us all
But the world doesnt own me
Dontcha follow me now
I aint afraid to say I may have been wrong
I have to go now
Id rather live by a dream than live by a lie
And thats why
There aint no cure for what Ive got baby
We just have to suffer
I feel no pain, I cant complain,
Things could always be rougher
But I picked up this banner
And I just cant put it down (no)
I cant let the world die just cause no one would try
Dontcha follow me now
Everybodys got to find his own place in the sun,
Everyone
So shine on me now
Id rather live by a dream then live by a lie
You can say what you will about me
Talk is cheap and I dont mind
When you lay your life down in them grooves
You know youre bound to get scratched up sometime
Its only just a song, pay me no mind
I have to go now
Youve got to walk that road alone
If you walk it at all
Dont follow me now
I gave you all fair warning
Now its goodbye
And every once in a while why dont you think of me
cause its a long, long time and a long way to go
Cant you see the light shining in my eyes
cause its just one victory
cause your dream goes on forever
Dont you know that Ive been trying
To get my trip together
Be a real man
I got to be a real man
1, 2, 3, do it one more time
Be a real man
Everybody be a real man
Go then, dont believe, and I dont know
cause I got to be a real man
You can be a man, a real man
Ill swim that river, climb that mountain
You and me, we all gotta be, real men

I Need You
Like an eagle soaring through the sky
I can see beyond the borders of our lives
No more fighting, no more taking sides
Now Im standing here with both arms open wide
Talk to me and I wont be a stranger
Close your eyes, and we both feel the same
I need you
Like the air Im breathing
I need you
Youre a part of me inside
Im with you
As long as my hearts beating
And together well survive
Stand beside me, we can work it out
I could use some help, and thats what loves about
Look through my eyes, past the setting sun
I could see a day when we can live as one
Take my hand; let nothing come between us
I will be here for you til the end
I need you
Like the air Im breathing
I need you
Youre a part of me inside
Im with you
As long as my hearts beating
And together well survive
Hear me out; use your heart to listen
Different worlds cant keep us apart
I need you
Like the air Im breathing
I need you
Youre a part of me inside
Im with you
As long as my hearts beating
And together well survive
I need you
Ill be here when you need me
Ill hold you as dear to me as life (as dear to me as life)
I need you
Youve given love a new meaning
Youre a part of me inside
I need you
Like the air Im breathing
I need you,
Youre a part of me inside
Im with you
As long as my hearts beating
And together well survive

Go On
It hurts me more when you decline
My offer for to join for dance and dine
'No' you can't join me as I have some one
He has entered life earlier and can be taken over by none
What I had to do then when she has opened secret?
I was in no mood to withstand jerk and fate
How can one remain honest and render justice?
Why to make love in air when there is no commitment or promise?
I heard her patiently and gave simply reply
I can go no further and make further try
It is her wish and must be respected
Her words can't be angrily reacted
She is making fool of her self
Sea may have precious jewels at shelf
But love is not like any other commodity
It can be had only from a person with super quality
'Leave me alone' was curt reply from my side
'No friends even' I took pain to tell her and confide
Horizon may be vast and very wide
My life and world were limited to hide
I am deeply hurt and visibly moved
She did not try fairly for it to be removed
It has made me to think fresh about future relation
There are fewer answers for more questions
I am sunk for the want of firm land
I have no one to call anybody as close friend
She was one with me and given good bye
I shall remain alone and resolved not to make fresh try
I want no analysis for delicate bond
One thing is sure that I was very much fond
I can't surrender to child's play
Let her go if she wishes to be away
I can't love treachery and hypocrisy any more
She has been told on face and therefore
I set her free to make choice of her own
I shall remain in this world and go on

Eyes Wide Open
Your eyes are wide open, but yet you don’t see
All the love I have inside of me.
Eyes wide open, but you don’t look around
You don’t open your ears, you don’t hear a sound.
Eyes wide open but the beauties that surround you
Do not seem to exist.
Is it that your eyes on you are playing tricks?
Eyes wide open and yet you have a blank stare.
Have you closed off your mind?
Or you just don’t care.
What can I do to remove that haze
So that on my face you can gaze.
If I hold you tenderly in my arms
And kiss those beautiful eyes.
Will they move? Will they cry?
What must I do so that you can see
That our love was meant to be.
They say that you went deep inside yourself
To hide the hurt and pain
But without your love “ I am the same”.
Eyes wide open. Did they just glance at me?
Is it because your heart is finally free?
I see a tear forming in your eyes
Emotions being let out that you tried to hide.
Eyes wide open- now they are mine
I can see your love for the very first time.

Feel Fine
Your eyes are like wine
Only you enjoy and feel fine
Love is to be enjoyed
Drink it and stay rejoiced
Why do to ask assurance?
It has happened by chance
You have entered arena at once
Love more and more hence
No, no, you are not slave
Just remain in limit and nicely behave
As it is not the only attraction
But nice and dignified relation
How come it can end so soon?
It may brightly shine in noon
You are like shining star
You can never remain far
My hart beats for you
This is not some what but wholly true
You were he one I loved most
Why do you think of it as expensive with cost?
Love is not mere intoxication
But certainly means to go and create relation
You can swim or sink under its shadow
Better choose the one that may nicely follow
You are expected to perform
Within norm s and inform
To your life partner what you think for future
Hold her hand and positively assure
It may certainly be spell bound
And same is seen and all over found
But its spell must end in best result
Where there should be no concern for insult

Falling In Love
Falling in love
It grabs me it scares me
It knows how to inform me
Falling in love
It takes me on a journey
Of emotions deep inside me
Falling in love
Nothing prepared me
For this feeling that Im feeling
Falling in love
Its draining its wearing
I surrender completely
Ooh I wasnt ready for this
Its good its bad
Im happy and Im sad
A mystery to behold
It speaks only to heart and soul
Like a melody deep inside of me
I saw that love keeps playing on and on
A symphony so glad I hear
Angels whispering
Falling in love
It grabs me it scares me
It knows how to inform me
Falling in love
It takes me on a journey
Of emotions deep inside me
Falling in love
Nothing prepared me
For this feeling that Im feeling
Falling in love
Its draining its wearing
I surrender completely
I never knew that life could be
So heavenly Im feeling free
Oh how could something be so satisfying
And yet a feeling of fearfulness
Is lurking in the mist of the bliss
Inside my heart but I know thats all a part
Falling in love
It grabs me it scares me
It knows how to inform me
Falling in love
It takes me on a journey
Of emotions deep inside me
Falling in love
Nothing prepared me
For this feeling that Im feeling
Falling in love
Its draining its wearing
I surrender completely
Im a business queen
In a courtroom kingdom
But when it comes to love
Theres no software made for that
Love oh love you came
You turned my perfect world upside down
Like a work of art
Love has shaped my heart
Falling in love
It grabs me it scares me
It knows how to inform me
Falling in love
It takes me on a journey
Of emotions deep inside me
Falling in love
Nothing prepared me
For this feeling that Im feeling
Falling in love
Its draining its wearing
I surrender completely

Crashed Into Love
We stand alone
Warmed by the light that reflects in your eyes
I feel inside an emotional storm
And a heart like a sky
This moment takes to somewhere unknown
And what Im feeling is thrilled to the bone
Been chasing rainbows all of my life
Now I know that was wrong
Ive found the gold deep in my soul
And I want to hang on
Just one look of encouragement
And what I have here is heaven sent
And hit from above
I just crashed into love
Crashed into love
And Im feeling that when powers inside
When forces collide
This cant be denied
And now it hits me
Love overdrive
I try to stand my ground but I cant contrive
These are the days that well think that we dreamed
For the rest of our lives
This moment takes to somewhere unknown
And what Im feeling is thrilled to the bone
And hit from above
I just crashed into love
Crashed into love
And Im feeling that when powers inside
When forces collide
This cant be denied
I just crashed into love
Crashed into love
And I know that I was hit by surprise
Between open eyes
Emotions arise
And now were living the june of our lives
In the heat of the day
Were on the eve of experience now
And nothing will take away
Just one look of encouragement
And what I have here is heaven sent
And sent from above
I just crashed into love
Crashed into love
And Im feeling that when powers inside
When forces collide
This cant be denied
I just crashed into love
Crashed into love
And I know that I was hit by surprise
Between open eyes
Emotions arise
I just crashed into love

Open Your Heart
Don't let the sun go down on me
Open your heart
Just let me be your destiny
Open your heart
What I never felt before
I really need you more and more
Don't let the sun go down on me
Open your heart
Open your heart
Open your heart
Open your heart
Open your heart
Open your heart
Even when you're far away
You're on my mind, every night and day
Don't let me live without a goal
Deep inside you are my soul
I've been fooled by love so many times
I've been blind, I've seen no signs
You're the one for me, we'll never part
Stay with me and open your heart
I can't express what's goin' on
I feel so lonely when you're gone
Is it real or is it fake
Am I dreaming, am I awake
You're the one I have been waiting for
I can't hold it back no more
You're the one for me, we'll never part
Stay with me and open your heart
I need you, don't let the sun, go down on me
Count on me, let me be your destiny,
See you got the key, to my Heart
We'll never part, from the start till the end of time,
You' re always mine, take a glass of wine
And let the sun shine, find out,
What is right or wrong,
What's going on, I feel lonely when you're gone
You're style is Magic - you hypnotise me
You came into my life, set me free
Light and energy, all around the galaxy
You made it brighter so that I could see
Like a melody in ecstasy,
See our love will last, eternally
Seems that your life is the golden key
Don't let the sun go down on me

As we all know
It is very heartening to note and feel
In the initial period when some one offers to fill
The void created by loneliness in life
When it is cutting through body like sharp knife?
The human life is full of challenges
So many may fail and unable to manage
Still it has to be lived on and stick to
The journey to be given go ahead and through
It is difficult to live on with different identity
Still it has some value with special entity
It may not differ so far as mutual interest is concerned
So whenever possible the good offer is not spurned
Fire is raging within to merge and attain
The highest degree of closeness to maintain
Still it may not turn into reality
This is sign of very good understanding with quality
The eyes are illuminated with shine
World looks so much enterprising and fine
All dreams to be woven in nice thread
No worry for finding shelter and bread
The hidden desires come to the fore
It was never felt this before
Both met the eyes and longed for it
Wrote something nicely on clean sheet
What it can be for more than words?
How one can think and look forward?
Eyes and mind seek for close alliance
Thrust and eagerness to quench at once
Simple hug in advance may offer warmth
Nothing to seek or happening aftermath
All preparation for bight day in morning
Eyes closely set for very good evening
Nights must be fine with more to talk
Little peace in mind with slow brisk walk
Only inches apart to whisper gently
Few words to hear to be lost immediately
Many more nights may set in and last
Life may change on and move very fast
Still the hand will be in hand to feel very close
Still same habits to repeat well wishes with the rose
The desires may not die but keep on burning
It may sometimes not be same and turning
The freshness may disappear and take back seat
The life may still be on to feel fruits and sweet
Life color may change and fade
It will be autumn and face will not be red
Feet may crumble still the eyes may search
Life time partner to be found out to reach
What can be fulfillment other than this?
What do we cherish and finally miss?
Still not a mystery with life time wish
It may remain at heart till we perish

A noble friend
We need noble, simple and honest friend
Who can take us to logical end?
Who never puts you to shame and always offer?
All helps to come in time and never differ
Not to agree yes for yes
Every criticism she or he may face
Pays sometimes heavy price for friendship
Never sheds tears, hide the face or weep
Considers problem as of his own
Friend's problem never disown
Even at personal risk relation maintains
Danger, if any, keeps off and contains
Insist on not doing anything wrong
Declines the lucrative offer but walks along
Thwarts any move which leads to fall
Shows the correct path with timely call
Many friends may suggest to go to bar
Long highway race in speeding car
Such friends deserve complete bar
Real friend remains very far
He, who is real friend, stands to loose
Still he remains as nice friend to choose
It is his real vision and long sight
In the real crisis he will prove right
This is simple advice and call
You should think ahead and always recall
Past mistakes must be rectified in future plan
Keeping away bad friends with permanent ban
This will prevent you from landing in trouble,
Bad friends will disappear as water bubble
Real will stay at the end of the race
Problem, if any, may not run away and face
Friends are indeed life's part and parcel
Bright at studies and in performance excel
I wish and pray for such good friend
Life long friendship bond not easily to end
Future is not shaped by parents alone
Good environment is part and parcel
Friends do shape the mental growth
They play part of brother and friend as both
On should consider himself very lucky
Good friend is always success to the key
He may guide us to the safety and to safe refuge
His role in life is real and huge
We may face lot many problems if surrounded by bad elements in disguise
They may pretend as friend but in fact push us to the critical cruise
They want to spoil our carrier for the want of some pretty considerations
One should choose friends carefully before arising of any questions
I pray God to guide me in choosing the real friends
I may not have sense to assess and to mend

He may serve as barrier and help to attain whatever is possible or due

A taste of wine
let wine be tested fine
then nicely you dine
it may be friend you
stay with you as friend true
you may feel scent’s smell
it may work also well
it may take you away for a while
to a distant land with smile
live here as I am there
you have come from somewhere
i shall keep you forever
don't leave that place ever
wine may not help to over come
it may not flavour or add welcome
it may give you momentary relief
it won’t strengthen your belief
it was never a remedy
life might have turned into comedy
what else one can do as lady?
It may be objected even by your daddy
The mind can never go to rest
It may settle not less than the best
It is not the real criteria or test
Try to come out of it as first
No one has gained peace from it
It has spoiled the image and feast
You may loose your control and spoil the relation
This may be seen with clear observation

Beautiful end
It was all not for me for free
There was hidden cause for me
I had very trimmed and attractive body
It might have drawn anybody
I gently made entry in club
All eyes were upon me as if trying to rub
It as not unknown to me but a fact
I was damn lucky to know and act
“Hello, I am here, how are you”?
I just roamed eyes and looked through
It was not all that sincere invitation
But of course an open offer for relation
“You can be my life or possibly a partner”
Even though I am new to this and beginner
Can that become reality very soon?
I replied that it can be done even this noon
He was damn happy and expressed gratitude
I like his behavior and attitude
It was open invitation and offer
I had no reason to go against and differ
I do not which way the ship may turn around
I have tried and very lately found
He may prove sometimes a reliable friend
The search has come to now at beautiful end

True Welsh
We talk about our origins
For some they are unknown
We talk about our grandfathers
And the places they had grown.
We ask about our Welshness
This is right close to our heart
But we need to go back centuries
To make a truthful start.
So many of our ancestors
Did travel many miles
Some came from Ireland, Scotland, England
And across the waters miles.
They came with hope inside them
To get their families better wealth
But many had employment
This ruined their health.
So as long as you were born in Wales
Keep it closed inside your heart
For you possess the passion many want
From the day that your life starts.
It don't matter where you came from
Or where you're going to
Like Porthcawl rock you're stamped for life
And you're Welsh, through and through.

Growing Up
Folded in your fleshy purse
I am floating once again
While the muted sounds are pumping rhythm
All the walls close in on me
Pressures building wave on wave
til the water breaks and outside I go, oh
One dot, thats on or off, defines what is and what is not, one dot
Two dot, a pair of eyes, a voice, a touch, complete surprise, two dot
Growing up, growing up,
Looking for a place to live
Growing up, growing up
Looking for a place to live
Growing up, growing up,
Looking for a place to live
My ghost likes to travel so far in the unknown
My ghost likes to travel so deep into your space
Three dot, a trinity, a way to map the universe,
Three dot
Four dot, is what will make a square, a bed to build on, its all there,
Four dot
My ghost likes to travel so far in the unknown
My ghost likes to travel so deep into your space
All the slow clouds pass us by
Make the empire state look high
As you take me in your sea-stained sweetness
It spills, it tingles and it stings
All the pleasure that it brings
til the door has let the outside inside here
Well on the floor theres a long wooden table
On the table theres an open book
On the page theres a detailed drawing
And on the drawing is the name I took
My ghost likes to travel so far in the unknown
My ghost likes to travel so deep into your space
Growing up, growing up,
Looking for a place to live
Growing up, growing up
Looking for a place to live
Growing up, growing up,
Looking for a place to live
Growing up, growing up,
Looking for a place to live
My ghost likes to travel
My ghost likes to travel
Moving inside of your space
My ghost likes to travel
My ghost likes to travel
Moving inside of your space
My ghost likes to travel
Moving inside
My ghost likes to travel
Moving inside of your space
My ghost likes to travel
Moving inside
My ghost likes to travel
Moving inside of your space
The breathing stops, I dont know when
In transition once again
Such a struggle getting through these changes
And it all seems so absurd
To be flying like a bird
When I do not feel Ive really landed here

Consuming Thoughts
There are thoughts inside me,
But I can’t seem to let them free!
The thought of not letting them out is frustrating me!
Its like all the feelings are stuck inside,
I try to let them out oh you have no idea how hard I’ve tried,
And still they stay hidden inside!
I have no idea what I feel,
Whether I am happy, sad, or even if my feelings are real,
I just can’t tell what my emotions and mind feel!
I want to scream out,
And let go of all doubt,
Yet I can’t even describe what there is to let out.
I wish I could tell you,
Could explain how I feel and what I want to do,
Although with everything in my mind my mouth has nothing to tell you.
I am suffocating in my own inability to speak my thoughts,
I feel as if I have nothing inside me even though I know I have lots.
How can it be fair that one’s demise can include one’s own mere thoughts?
