Taste the Difference I - 0874 - Acrostic Sonnet
Two strangers may in orbit spin
Around each other for a while,
Similarities in style
Taste, touch, test until some pin
Explodes the bubble vision in
Too much wanting or denial.
Heart can with a winning smile
Extend hope's scope and thus begin
Dream themes to weave, while out and in
Ideas, emotions, reconcile
Fire, Earth, Air, Water, trust and guile,
Free spirits to affection's gin.
ERE New Year knocks perhaps we'll find
CElebration duly signed.
(10 April 1998)

The Spinner
Oh, what was it he meant
By his question as he went?
'I am making a loom,
'T will be up in April's bloom;
If you think it may be,
Spin for me!'
Oh, what shall I believe?
Does he think himself to weave?
And the yarn that I spin,
Lo, he thinks to weave it in?
And so soon as the Spring
Flowers shall bring?
And he laughed when he'd done;
Oh, he is so full of fun.
Dare I trust all my skein
To so young and wild a swain?-
May God help to bind in
All I spin!

One Last Dream Of....
one last dream of being on this universe,
one last dream of being under this horrible curse,
one last dream of loosing hope,
one last dream of being under the scope,
one last dream of self harm,
one last dream of hurting her arm,
one last dream of dying inside,
one last dream of wanting to hide,
one last dream of a hospital,
one last dream of a lost soul,
one last dream of thinking knowbody is there,
one last dream of living in fear,
one last dream of wanting to be dead,
one last dream of harmful thoughts in my head,
one last dream of giving up on myself,
one last dream of not wanting help..

What Do You Dream About?
Have you ever met anybody who does not dream?
All of us have dreamt of something good or bad before
Some dreams are believed to foretell the future
While few dreams remind us of things we have forgotten
Other dreams are just hallucination and nightmare
What do you dream about?
Some people dream every night
While the others dream once a while
Do you dream straight or opposite?
To dream straight is to see a vision
To dream straight is to have a revelation
Is your dream good, bad or frightening?
Has your dream ever come true?
Do you day-dream or dream while you sleep?
What do you really dream about?
Politicians dream of winning elections
Students dream of passing exams
Soldiers dream of winning battles
Everybody dreams of promotion on the job
Fishermen dream of catching lots of fishes
Some men see their future wives in a vision
Few women see their future husbands in a dream
Almost everybody dreams of winning the lottery
What do you actually dream about?
Many see their enemies in a dream
Few see their true friends in a vision
Others found solutions to their problems in a dream
Can we live on earth without dreaming?
Your answer is as good as mine
Whatever you may dream about
I hope your good dreams come true

A Bubble In My Heart...!
There's a bubble in my heart
A bubble that floats
Like it is made out of soap
There's a bubble in my heart
A bubble that dance
Like it is riding on the breeze
A bubble a bubble in my heart
A bubble a bubble that fills my heart
There's a bubble in my heart
A bubble that sings
Like it knows how to sing
There's a bubble in my heart
A bubble that roams
Out of my heart in to the storms
A bubble a bubble in my heart
A bubble a bubble that fills my heart
There's a bubble in my heart
Baby can you see that
Yeah the bubble in my heart
There's a bubble in my heart
A bubble that shines
Much more than sunshine
A bubble a bubble in my heart
Yeah baby, there is a bubble, a bubble in my heart....!

Dare To Dream
(paul begaud/vanessa corish/wayne tester)
I am my own believer
In my heart the reason
I will follow the light from within
Im not afraid of weakness
Im gonna taste the sweetness
Of the power not to give in
Oh I will see it through
I believe this is my moment of truth
Dare to dream
Dare to fly
Dare to be the ever chosen one to touch the sky
Dare to reach
Dare to rise
Find the strength to set my spirit free
Dare to dream
I will go the distance
Embrace resistance
I will lay my soul on the line
When the wait is over
And the hunger has spoken
If I give my all,i will shine
Oh I will see it through
I believe, this is my moment of truth
Dare to dream
Dare to fly
Dare to be the ever chosen one to touch the sky
Dare to reach
Dare to rise
Find the strength to set my spirit free
Dare to dream,oh
And the heart will shine like the sun
A million voices together as one
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe
Dare to dream
Dare to fly
Dare to be the ever chosen one to touch the sky
Dare to reach
Dare to rise
Find the strength to set my spirit free
Dare to dream
Dare to fly
Dare to be the ever chosen one to touch the sky
Dare to reach
Dare to rise
Find the strength to set my spirit free
(find the strength to set my spirit free)
Find the strength to do what I believe
(I believe)
Dare to dream
Dare to dream

If You Ever Saw Her
Hey! You know what boy?
That girl is amazing
But she will drive you crazy
Look out!
She's got a look in her eye
that says she knows why just to taste her is never enough
She gets a thrill out of loving and watching you suffering
she says you can look but don't touch
So don't go fooling yourself
Like so many others
Who've fallen for only a smile
But if you're in for the ride
Hold on tight
Adios and kiss your heart goodbye
[Chorus:]
Oh and if you ever saw her
Well she's every dream girl from Monroe to Madonna
You'll swear she walks on water
She's so fine
Oh and if you ever kissed her
Well I tell you my friend you could never resist her
And if you ever saw her
You'd know why
She holds your heart in her hand
She'll make you a man
But she'll play you however she wants
Just when you think that you're winning
Your head starts spinning
You open your eyes and she's gone
So don't believe you're the one
Don't think that this dream is forever

New Year resolutions
One year gone,
New year comes.
Old resolutions achieved,
New resolutions planned.
We’re one year older, and
A year wiser.
We’re wiser, older, and
A year gone.
New hope and new vision,
Envision your dream,
Plan your dream,
Dare your dream.
Realize your dream,
Dream your dream,
Vision your dream,
Achieve your dream.
New resolutions here,
Old resolutions gone.
New lives, new you,
New Year, new resolutions.

Happy New You,

Interplay
INTERPLAY
She dreams him night and day,
he feels her faraway,
yet near as near can be.
He turns a corner, she
accompanies, won’t stray -
each moment holiday.
Their thoughts are interplay
between his smile, her way
of thinking, - spirits free.
In timeless harmony
each swears that each shall stay
together come what may.
She sees his smile at play,
he sees her hips that sway,
together, to a tee,
fit interplay - could we
become as close as they
to share through night and day?

Dancing Fire and Shattering Ice
A dream begins in a silent forest
I begin to wander around to find my way
The air unexpectedly goes hot and dry
Light from the sun quickly fades
With no light to guide me back home
My fears begin to grow within mind
Suddenly a wall of fire grows in my path
Slowly dancing it's way in every direction
Before my fears turned into nightmares
Water from the lake had broken free from the ice
And made its way to the walls of fire
Where the fire had surrendered to the cold
Letting the water freeze into the ice and shattering into the flame

Showerhead
Written by max collins
Cheap shot hocked to the ear drum
Is it some sick sign of affection
Violated and signed with deciet
Disgust from my head to my hands to my feet yeah
Your face it gives a foul taste
Whatever smiling crying or denying
I see your motives and youre charged with fraud by me
So take a hint and leave
I loved you while he was in you in the shower
Did injoy and ecstasy your eyes begin to water
And if I may stop by when youre living in the next town ten years down the road
A good time for a dime and a crushed cigarette
Making bets with your body on the avenue
Look into my eyes you say and youll see nothing but sincerity
Almost as if youve got some hope that youll enlighten me
Youre a head case story
Just trust me you said

Success and Failure
i have a dream
i hold onto it tenaciously
because it inspires hope
and optimism, an infectious
spirit to life, an eagle clawing
onto a tree to stand tall and steady
a fountain of fire burning in the sky
i hold onto to the dream like
a cup of fragrant tea or
piping hot coffee first thing
in the morning, warming up
the constituents for the
the adventures of the day
when the pulsating ray of the sun
sets free the spirits of a bird
to sing, to fly, to hop, to peck for the
worms in the fields
if i should fail, i say i have to
fail handsomely, i have to fall in style
with a smile on the face
and a hip hop dance to send away the blues
no regrets or the loss of hope
no despairing when life has been paid its dues
i would fail like a flower blooming in the sky

Nowhere but INDONESIA
Nowhere but Indonesia
Thousands island lies on equator
Sun shines brightly along the year
Welcoming smiles are free of charge
Nowhere but Indonesia
Thousands lie covered those islands
Son shy to says that He is right
Full of charge are those who lies
Nowhere but Indonesia
Hope and pain live in peace
For hope is shadow of the pain
And pain is a charge of the hope
Nowhere but Indonesia
Plant and animals live in harmony
For it was said beyond the ages
and should be paid without objection
Nowhere but Indonesia
Children built their little dream
Tear it off when they grew up
Comes denial when getting old
Nowhere but Indonesia
We smile when we smile
We smile when we not smile
We not smile when you smile
Nowhere but Indonesia
Am on my knee lift up a prayer
God bless my country is what I plea
Coz my country long time no smile
Nowhere but Indonesia
Thousands island lie on equator
Hope and pain live in peace
We smile when we not smile

Life's A Point of View
Life offers two poles - two roles.
One beginning, grinning, winning.
One refusing, abusing, losing.
Each looks through their scope
With hope that their vision is right.
A clear, focused lens views bright.
One closed results in failing sight.
Some are aware and don't care.
For most of the rest the test is too great.
But a rare few do know and dare.
To those must go unending praise,
For their days are each born anew.
Their genius? That right point of view!

Churching Of Women
Is there, in bowers of endless spring,
One known from all the seraph band
By softer voice, by smile and wing
More exquisitely bland!
Here let him speed: to-day this hallowed air
Is fragrant with a mother's first and fondest prayer.
Only let Heaven her fire impart,
No richer incense breathes on earth:
"A spouse with all a daughter's heart,"
Fresh from the perilous birth,
To the great Father lifts her pale glad eye,
Like a reviving flower when storms are hushed on high.
Oh, what a treasure of sweet thought
Is here! what hope and joy and love
All in one tender bosom brought,
For the all-gracious Dove
To brood o'er silently, and form for Heaven
Each passionate wish and dream to dear affection given.
Her fluttering heart, too keenly blest,
Would sicken, but she leans on Thee,
Sees Thee by faith on Mary's breast,
And breathes serene and free.
Slight tremblings only of her veil declare
Soft answers duly whispered to each soothing prayer.
We are too weak, when Thou dost bless,
To bear the joy--help, Virgin-born!
By Thine own mother's first caress,
That waked Thy natal morn!
Help, by the unexpressive smile, that made
A Heaven on earth around this couch where Thou wast laid.

Refuge
Where is she that said she loved me?
And he that promised great undying affection?
Where are they that whispered care into my soul?
And the hope that never was to die?
Am I changed before them? !
That I am no more known? !
The smile never to show again
And the touch as of the farthest planet
I tell you what my brethren
It is much worth to trust in the Lord
Than in the richest of kings
For in Him alone I find joy and refuge like no other

On The First Day Of This Year
new year.
the happy faces
in those
pictures in
Facebook
i hope
are not pretty lies.
most of the time
they are
on the first day of
this year
of the water dragon
we shall play a
new game
breathing fire
growing wood on
water
believing in
what is not credible
on the first hour
of this year
or even the hour before
that
you shall begin
disliking me
every part of me
but as a compromise
i will just
be sleeping.
