Fellow!
You were not here since long
I missed the dance of words
The sweetness of your song,
The thought we always shared
The jokes we always made
The sense, you always cared
Your friendship is endowment
Your words have healing power
They lift me every moment
Your absence was a lost,
And needed you around
That too on every cost.

It Takes An Absence
It takes an absence felt,
For many people to realize...
What and who in their lives,
Had provided them with a significance.
It takes an absence for an awakening to occur,
To stir up priorities with a reviewing...
Of what had topped their most wished list.
With a doing when one finally gets around to it.
It takes an absence missed with a remorse that sits,
For the ones who had been taken for granted...
Now 'suddenly' appreciated for their contributions made.
Those who never mentioned,
Requests to receive an attention to them given.
And it takes an absence with attempts to replace,
A void that appears one no longer can face...
To fill a vacuum that had been once shared and enjoyed,
By those who frequently were thought to have annoyed.
Yes an absence teaches those lessons learned,
Thought by some to be preached when comments made...
Were believed to leave some ears to burn.
To remind the receiver what they have sometimes was given,
And not by them earned as believed.
It takes an absence missed when reminiscing...
Those perceived could be easily dismissed.
And absences that are often missed,
Are those wished could be returned with more thoughtfulness!

Slow Dance
Its a slow dance
Take a little time for some romance
Come a little closer baby, slow dance
Whisperin the words I want to hear
Its been a long night
Now my head is on your shoulder and its so right
Your sweet and gentle kisses on these closin eyes
Tonight I will be dreaming of you
(*) when I saw you for the first time
I never thought that this could be
I never thought youd come my way
I never thought Id hear you say dance with me
Now its a slow dance
Repeat (*)
Now its a slow song
Seems that Ive been waiting for it so long
Waiting for this moment and someone like you
To make all my dreams come true
Someone like you, oh baby

Please Be Quiet
He spoke and spoke so many words
and she just silently thought.
He had an opinion on everything.
She listened and then she sought
silence again, just said Amen
to all those words he said,
Soon thoughts came to her head.
She thought about life.
She thought about love.
She thought about
all he was speaking of.
She thought about nights
where silence prevailed.
She thought about days
where the speaking assailed
her ears.
She'd been thinking and thinking
for too many years.
The quietness was peaceful
but now brought her to tears.
For she missed the sound
of all his words.
She missed everything he said.
He was gone and all was quiet
for all his words were dead.
The thoughts were still there.
The words were not.
And what was it he said?
She forgot.

When The Words Dance, The Stars Shine
someday, i’ll make the words dance to tell us everything that happened
every moment we’ve shared. every memory we’ve woven together
someday i’ll write about us
someday – when everything has been forgotten
and there’s no way for us to remember any word
of that childish compromise we once had
it’ll be just a memory of two people who once loved each other
it’ll be just a lost fairy tale that had blossomed sweetly,
sweetest when those two people were together
and those dancing words will tell us everything
someday, we will meet at the ocean of galaxies
and we will watch them dance for eternity.…

Synchronal
You and I each noticed the other
because of silly words
and witty banter
displayed in a chat room
goofy jokes
that no one else seemed to get
quick wit
making for quick friends
first impressions
common expressions
typed in sync
creating bemusement
followed by amazement
at how much alike we
really do seem to be
which inevitably gave way
to deeper connections
You and I realized
though from different places
we seemed to be ready
to travel a common road
So we set out to see
if the silly jokes
were just as funny
when whispered
in person
and would there be
real passion
reaching in sync
sweet spots we touched
and the silly words
turned out to be
just as sweet
when poured out
in horizontal positions
You and I learned
silly words paved the way
for sharing of secrets
revealing all sorrows
recapturing dreams
two children at play
daring to trust
gaining entrance
to places
where there are no words
left afraid to be spoken
where adult children with hurts
could find healing
through silly words
spoken with love
always bemused
but no longer amazed
when words are in sync
or not needed at all

Still
The commodores
(lionel richie)
Lady, mornings just a moment away
And Im without you once again
You laughed at me
You said you never needed me
I wonder if you need me now
(chorus:)
So many dreams that flew away
So many words we didnt say
Two people lost in a storm
Where did we go?
Whered we go?
We lost what we both had found
You know we let each other down
But then most of all
I do love you
Still!
(same as chorus)
We played the games that people play
We made our mistakes along the way
Somehow I know deep in my heart
You needed me
cause I needed you so desperatly!
We were too blind to see
But then most of all
I do love you
Still!

Thank You!
Two little words that mean so much, a courtesy expressed...
A chance you really ought to clutch: somebody's done their best!
Two little words that show you're pleased because somebody cared!
Somebody helped thus tensions eased when love itself was shared...
Two little words can change a life, acknowledging a debt:
When calm was brought to what was strife, or joy replaced regret!
Two little words so simply said and yet what hope they bring!
They seem to dissipate our dread and cause our hearts to sing!
Two little words, just two, no more! What practice is required?
Good manners help both rich and poor and so they're quite admired!
Two little words said with a smile can bless somebody's day -
They have a certain sense of style that time can't wear away!
Two little words as sweet as wine, like nectar to the bees!
Their sentiment is just divine, they open doors like keys!
Two little words that bless the Church, the office and the home -
So close to us, no need to search, because they never roam!
Two little words that even Christ was wise enough to speak!
Lord Jesus knows they're highly prized! Indeed, they're quite unique!
Two little words God likes to hear directed to His Throne!
Of all the words to volunteer, they're the greatest ever known...

A moment missed
Remember when I asked you out?
And how you shed a tear.
Remember how I told you.
That I'd stay for all those years.
Remember our first kiss?
Under a moonlit sky.
Remember the fireworks.
That shone in your eyes.
A smeared kiss.
A moment missed.
Remember all the promises?
That we never seemed to keep.
Remember all the times.
I held you when you'd weep.
Remember all the walks we took?
On the beach at midnight.
Remember when we were perfect?
And everything felt right.
A smeared kiss.
A moment missed.
Remember that rose I sent you?
For our schools winter dance.
Remember when we broke up?
And I begged for a second chance.
Remember when you got pregant.
And I stayed right by your side.
Remember how I bought that ring?
And took your hand in mine.
A smeared kiss.
A moment missed.
Remember when I became a dad?
And held my baby girl.
Remember how we fought for names.
And ended up with Pearl.
Remember her first birthday?
And that pretty teddy bear.
Remember her old blankie?
That she carried everywhere.
A smeared kiss.
A moment missed.
Remember how you left me?
With not a word goodbye.
Remember how you took her?
And left me there to die.
Remember all those years?
That you spent far away.
Remember our dying love?
That was ment to always stay.
A smeared kiss.
A moment missed.
Remember the years after?
When you became a whore.
Remember how you took off?
And walked through that same door.
Remember when you got drunk?
And they took our Pearl away.
Remember how I took the fall.
Even though you were too blame.
A smeared kiss.
A moment missed.
Remember how you changed?
And forgot what use to be.
Remember how you hit her?
When our girl had just turned three.
Remember all those moments?
That we thought would last forever.
Remember all our memories?
That we had shared together.
A smeared kiss.
A moment missed.
Remember when you lost your future?
And chose to slice your wrists.
Remember the note you sent me?
Saying please remember this.
Today it's three years later.
And our baby's turning five.
Today she has no mommy.
Because you chose to die.
A smeared kiss.
A moment missed.

In Other Words
(bart howard)
Poets often use many words
To say a simple thing.
It takes thought and time amd rhyme
To make a poem sing.
With music and words i've been playing
For you, i have written a song.
To be sure that you'll know what i'm saying,
I'll translate as i go along...
Fly me to the moon,
And let me play among the stars.
Let me see what spring is like
On jupiter and mars.
In other words,
Hold my hand.
In other words,
Darling, kiss me.
Fill my heart with song,
And let me sing forever more.
You are all i long for,
All i worship and adore.
In other words,
Please be true.
In other words,
I love you.
~interlude~
Fill my heart with song,
And let sing forever more.
You are all i long for,
All i worship and adore.
In other words
Please be true.
In other words,
I love you.

You Know That You Are Very Deep In My Heart
You know that you are very deep in my heart,
how much I adore you
while in your absence I miss you for long moments
and love brings a kind of sorrow
but continually you sneak deeper into my heart.
You know that you are very deep in my heart,
my words, my deeds and feelings are no secret
but sometimes my words get few,
while in your absence I miss you for long moments
and you are in every thought
and our comfort with each other has been present from the beginning.
You know that you are very deep in my heart,
that our love goes much further than just sympathy
that nobody can fabricate such feelings,
while in your absence I miss you for long moments.
Everything that I am and want to be you do know
and sometimes you are in every word and sentence.
You know that you are very deep in my heart,
while in your absence I miss you for long moments.

The Dance
Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared neath the stars alone
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that youd ever say goodbye
(chorus)
And now Im glad I didnt know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But Id of had to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasnt I a king
But if Id only known how the king would fall
Hey whos to say you know I might have changed it all
*chorus*
Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but Id of had to miss the dance.

Kiss Of Love
i came to you broken and bleeding
we both shared the pain of our past
i never thought i would kiss you and feel love
but i was wrong
i have had this unknown craving
for what i didnt know
the craving took over and once i met you
and you said i love you my craving was gone
now i long to fell you beside me every second
its like i cant get enough of your sweet love
just the taste makes me want more
you fixed me and stop the bleeding
i never thought id want anyone so badly
but you are my world
my heart is yours
and my words i will keep
i couldnt stand you ever leaving
i treasure every moment with you
i never want it to end
when i dream its only sweet when its about you
i miss you every moment of every day
thinking about you like i do and dayz by the thought
i love who you are
i love your voice and your words
your kisses and hugz
and your touch
i want it and need it so much
i want you and your love to stay forever

Between Truth And Falsehood
Between truth and falsehood i was confuse, i couldn't pen down the real feelings of my heart. Maybe i made a mistake, but show me were i went wrong. Maybe the agonies of life has thought me to forget my self, maybe i was selfish, maybe i wanted to put the power of your words to test, maybe i was afraid to reveal the ugly face behind the mask. Am tormented by my action and torn apart. Allow me to break down; i have punish you long enough. I allowed the power of my words to rule you. Maybe a king in a forbidden world or am lost, though am weak from what you showed me, you indeed put me to test, but am glad you finally won.

Words of Fire
Words of Fire,
Words of Power,
With the force of a steam train,
With the speed of a bullet,
You hit me.
You knocked me off my high horse,
Upon the ground I lay,
Unable to move,
Such is the power of your word,
You hit me.
When first I read your word,
Words of Fire,
Words of Power,
The threat of culpable damnation,
The gift of undeserved salvation.
You are the living Word,
The only word,
Who was,
Who is,
Who is to come.
Words of Fire,
Words of Power,
Words of Eternity,
Words of Fire,
That burn within my heart.
From my youth,
My hair now grey,
Those words of Fire,
Those words of Power,
My life maintained.

Soul Tells All
My voice, the ink for this write
If just u ever wonder how SOUL sounds like
Not written this as another fairytale story
For real this is about you and me
In short met we made series
Each series we make beautiful stories
Friendship proven generates strong histories
At least it sails trusty and kills worries
Please stand yourself dont change anew for me
You are wrong if u think try to be perfect make me see
I maybe perfectionist but
Originally you simply the best thee
Cause perfect friend is mirrored by you, i can see
Could u believe me if i say
If you ever need me now
I'll spend time for you
Listen to your words say
Clear your messy day
Say i'm fool and jokes all the way
On the slippery life road
Let us holding each other
We could never fall, but...
If we fall let us fall together
No hurt but cheered by our laughter
Soul tells u
Be together to create a magic
Impossible for a bird to fly with one wing
For our dream to fly we can be a pair of wing
Strong enough for us to cross the wind
Above the high sky we flag for winning
Together we stand so easy
But my friendship isn't free,
It cost you price of happy
So can u pay this to me?
We were made each other as a friend
Forever u need me take my hand
Magical friendship for bruises to mend
Dear friend, did my soul told you
As long as u breathing
Anytime and anywhere you are
Don't you believe that you will lost me
Be with you, I don't need more but......
Please don't forget to pay me happy you
And now there's nothing i secret
Cause my soul tells it all....to you

1 Among Few
At long last! !
I have found you once again;
Because, you are '1 among few'!
And, your words still run in me.
Yo re like a saint to me!
An, more than one! !
Because your are '1 among few',
And your words still run in me.
I do remember those days,
But i wasn't matured enough to understand your vision by then;
But noe, i know who you are!
Because you are the chosen one,
And you are '1 among few'.
Your words are the words of light which overcome darkness!
And i am glad to meet you once again after many years in absence;
Because your are '1 among few' whose words touches my heart deeply! !

Friendship IXX
And a youth said, "Speak to us of Friendship."
Your friend is your needs answered.
He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
And he is your board and your fireside.
For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.
When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the "nay" in your own mind, nor do you withhold the "ay."
And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart;
For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.
When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.
For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught.
And let your best be for your friend.
If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also.
For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill?
Seek him always with hours to live.
For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness.
And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

Moni, You are dear
She is by birth an American
And I am an Indian citizen
We came in contact from Naijapal
She showed her excellence on arrival
She knew pulse by pulse and bit by bit
The danger and where likely to hit
She was not afraid but stood her ground well
She never preferred her agony or pain to tell
I cursed myself for not being rushing to her rescue
It was needed but could offer only words which were due
It was valiant effort on her part to stand firm
She was facing each and every crucial term
She stood for nice friendship and proved very true
I did everything possible to stay with her and woo
She was magnificent in her approach with attitude
I always praised her with nice words of gratitude
She was elegant in look and emerged as fresh rose
I wanted to see her in original form and nicely compose
Words of praise in the memory of her friendship
And to know exact feeling for the companionship
She was down with unknown disease
This made her uncomfortable and kept at unease
She was torn out financially and under tremendous pressure
I could do nothing except to give her moral support and reassure
What was she expected to perform under critical situation?
I asked repeatedly to self as I had in real sense infatuation
I could not open my self as it was not right moment
She sustained the onslaught and emerged strong with movement
She perfected her argument on current political scene
She opined “such denigration in level was never seen”
It was her presence of mind and strong will power
It kept her intact did not allow her to lower
I don’t know what will be my message to her
I was not sure whether it will add to her worry or bother
It was my deepest love and feeling
I wanted to go along with her and absolutely willing
She was very blunt in her presentation
This showed her strong resolve with indication
I loved her from bottom of my heart
She had given me feeling with very good start
She has emerged from long absence today
I think it was for her a superb shining day
She was on line with all her past elegance
I felt so elated in her presence
She was there like fresh rose flower
All glitter and shine which only may be had by fewer
I was stunned to see a powerful female friend
I dreamed of her to bring road to an end
* Naijapal is used to indicate as Nigerian friend
