I Will Escape
I want to merge
Within the sky.
Bleeding watercolours
Like an artist's sigh.
Hang me
On a crescent moon.
And leave me to bathe
In starlight lagoon.
Lower me in solar rays
To sparkle on oceans
In Summer glaze.
Put my heart
On a midnight express.
With a one way ticket
From loneliness.
Let me die in a sunset.
And cry for a rainbow.
Yet,
Take a fairground ride
On candyfloss cloud.
Hidden in mute beauty
On a breeze.
Far from madding crowd.
A ticking clock
Finds me on my knees.
I scream out loud.
As her soul leaves mine
-In the rain.
Yearning,
Burning through my vein.
I will,
I will escape this pain.

“Our Clock Of Midnight”(An Acrostic)
Our clock of midnight ticking around
Undiscovered love can hear the sound
Repressed desire lying underground
Certainly this rare love can never be found
Loneliness covers the dusk to adorn
Outcry from the dark quells the forlorn
Crying out for light in the name of the dark
Keeps the distance between fire and spark
Our clock of midnight still ticking around
For we are far away but we can be found
Miles apart yet our minds can be seen
In reality can we make a blue night green?
Don’t want this clock ever to stop ticking
Noiselessness into heart where it’s been sticking
Indissoluble feeling we can feel so deep
Glimmering hope in our souls we reap
Here we lay down in the midst of dream
The clock of our midnight is our time supreme.

Precious
The jewels
That sparkle in your eyes
Are pools
To bathe in.
Aqua skies
Above
Are swathed in
Cotton candy dreams.
As sunlit diamonds
Adorn with love
The flowing gown of silver streams.
The stars
That hang like spectral pearls.
Are bells that rang
In other worlds.
Attending heavens' glittering ball
To wear the night
Like ermine shawl.
When sprites have danced
To mystic tune
With lights enhanced
By crescent moon.
The Aria
Of passionate seas
Where rainbows fade
To symphonies.
And precious gold lights morning sky.
As colours bold
Do swirl on high.
That precious scene
The sunset steals.
To bleed blood red
Alone to die.
Each miracle the day reveals
To beauty queen
Of moonlit sigh.

Ticket To The Moon
Remember the good old 1980s?
When things were so uncomplicated?
I wish I could go back there again
And everything could be the same.
Ive got a ticket to the moon
Ill be leaving here any day soon
Yeah, Ive got a ticket to the moon
But Id rather see the sunrise in your eyes.
Got a ticket to the moon
Ill be rising high above the earth so soon
And the tears I cry might turn into the rain
That gently falls upon your window
Youll never know.
Chorus:
Ticket to the moon (ticket to the moon)
Ticket to the moon (ticket to the moon)
Ticket to the moon (ticket to the moon).
Fly, fly through a troubled sky
Up to a new world shining bright, oh, oh.
Flying high above
Soaring madly through the mysteries that come
Wondering sadly if the ways that led me here
Could turn around and I would see you there
Standing there (and I would see you there, waiting...)
Ticket to the moon
Flight leaves here today from satellite two
As the minutes go by, what should I do?
I paid the fare, what more can I say?
Its just one way (only one way)...
Repeat chorus:
Repeat chorus:

Heartbreak Express
Packin my suitcase writin a tear stained good-bye note
Sayin so long to a love gone wrong and thats all she wrote
Leavin behind what once was mine with sad regrets
But its all gone now and Im leavin town on the heartbreak express
Walkin in the rain with a heart full of pain to the train depot
The only things thats gonna keep me warm now is my overcoat
Lost and lonely waitin in line at the ticket desk
Hey mister wont you give me a one-way ticket on the heartbreak express
Im gonna roll on down the line
Im gonna go so far Im gonna get it off my mind
It hurts to know it aint enough when you give your best
Got a ticket to ride and Im leavin tonight on the heartbreak express
Oh I couldnt hold a candle to a flaming beauty that caught his eye
Its killin me now but I wont stay around and let him watch me die
Oh it just goes to show you never do know cause I never woulda guessed

Maybe someday somewhere someway I will forget
But theres no goin back so roll down the track you ole heartbreak express
Feelin alone while a low whistle moans
On the heartbreak express

Midnight Rainbow.
The night's so long
Like there's no tomorrow
Gaze at the shinning
Stability of the Stars
Sky denied the Rain.
Sky's violet in its
Glory; The Moon giggles
Deeply in brightness, I
Imagine the Stars joyfully
Swimming in starry Cloud.
I was lost in awesome
I Cherish the wonder of
Jovial midnight Rainbow breeze
Because its incredible but
In reality yet, I love you
My midnight Rainbow.

Soul Kiss
(m. boldenberg)
Soul kiss
You left me dreaming
Now I wonder are things just what they seem
Well, I get down on my knees (and beg you, baby)
Get down on my knees
Soul kiss
Some nights you get me wondering
Is this the way
This is a hunger
Well, I get down on my knees (and beg you, baby)
Get down on my knees
Somewhere there is a fire burning
Somewhere inside
Somewhere there is a heart thats waiting
To take a ride
To take the ride to your soul kiss
So this is what it has to lead to
Take my hand and make me need to
I get down on my knees (and beg you, baby)
Get down on my knees
Soul kiss
You left me hoping
Now I wonder is the door still open
Well, I get down on my knees (and beg you, baby)
Get down on my knees
Somewhere there is a fire burning
Somewhere inside
Somewhere there is a heart thats waiting
To take a ride
To take the ride to your soul kiss

Rainbow Rose is her name
Rainbow Rose is her name
Her beauty shines through just like the colours do on a rainbow after the pouring rain.
And when you look deep into her hazel eyes past all her pain and hurt
You see a place like paradise that takes you away like no other and you never want to return.
And when she dances its like watching the leaves dancing so beautifully tenderly blowing on there trees
Just like they do on a beautiful summer nights breeze. X.

The Shroud Of Midnight
As the shroud of midnight falls
over sleeping garden walls
and the moon hides behind a cloud
the ghosts of lovers past lay bare
the tracks they used to follow.
Down leafy lanes and against trees
where they used to lean,
the summer evening vents scents
that fill the air with mystic perfume
to enthral the senses of anyone
who may pass there.
A cooling breeze follows
the shroud of midnight
as it gently touches everything
and the lives of present lovers
lay hidden and unseen
until the moon peeks
from behind the cloud
and brightens things a little
around the midnight shroud.

Midnight Sky
Midnight Sky
Thousands upon thousands of stars.
A majestic beauty that takes my breathe away.
The full moon's serene glow.
The Midnight Sky.
Constellations are scattered across the sky.
The North Star brightly gleaming.
How can this world of radiance be real?
The Midnight Sky.
I marvel at their awe inspiring beauty.
The moon has reached highest point in the sky.
It is a beauty that still renders me speechless
The Midnight Sky.
I am starting at the Midnight Sky.

Winter in the Country
Sweet life! how lovely to be here
And feel the soft sea-laden breeze
Strike my flushed face, the spruce's fair
Free limbs to see, the lesser trees'
Bare hands to touch, the sparrow's cheep
To heed, and watch his nimble flight
Above the short brown grass asleep.
Love glorious in his friendly might,
Music that every heart could bless,
And thoughts of life serene, divine,
Beyond my power to express,
Crowd round this lifted heart of mine!
But oh! to leave this paradise
For the city's dirty basement room,
Where, beauty hidden from the eyes,
A table, bed, bureau, and broom
In corner set, two crippled chairs
All covered up with dust and grim
With hideousness and scars of years,
And gaslight burning weird and dim,
Will welcome me . . . And yet, and yet
This very wind, the winter birds
The glory of the soft sunset,
Come there to me in words.

One Reason
My heart yearns.
Your beauty burns
In velvet moonlight bliss.
My soul awakes
My body aches
To taste your forever kiss.
No starlight could replace
The sunshine of your face,
Like bathing our hopes
In blue lagoon.
Fantasies merge.
Tender hearts may swoon.
When joy of love
From twinkling eyes
Promises no more goodbyes.
As lightning strikes
We realise
One reason to live.
Watch blue plume rise.
When scented caress
Lends you to my arms.
And words only you possess
Exceed all wordly charms.
Your rhymes so sweet
Whispered from above,
Wind chimes repeat.
As flowers of love
Lay at your feet.
I held my black and white dreams
In a sieve
Until you painted them
Gave a reason to live.
Your kisses of red wine
Will soothe my soul.
And course though my veins
As storm clouds roll.
Yet, we dance on a jasmine breeze.
Take to the highest seas.
On an ocarina wind.
In eternity we are pinned
In crescendo of embrace.
One reason
We must chase
Our rainbow at sunrise.
Beyond sunset's humming skies.
Because love never walks
It flies.
And never talks
But just sighs.

Get Off Of My Cloud
(mick jagger and keith richards)
I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my block
And I sit at home looking out the window
Imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy whos all dressed up like a union jack
And says, Ive won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack
I say, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Dont hang around cause twos a crowd
On my cloud baby
The telephone is ringing,
I say, hi, its me. who is it there on the line?
A voice says, hi, hello, how are you?
Well, I guess Im doin fine
He says, its three a.m., theres too much noise
Dont you people ever wanna go to bed?
Just cause you feel so good, do you have
To drive me out of my head?
I say, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Dont hang around cause twos a crowd
On my cloud baby
I was sick and tired, fed up with this,
And decided to take a drive downtown
It was so very quiet and peaceful
There was nobody, not a soul around
I laid myself out, I was so tired and I started to dream
In the morning the parking tickets were just like
A flag stuck on my window screen
I say, hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Dont hang around cause twos a crowd
On my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Hey! you! get off of my cloud
Dont hang around cause twos a crowd

Death At Last
Death.
My last breath
Or was it a sigh.
A welcome goodbye.
Deceased.
Released from the pain.
Blood dried in my vein.
My darling with a kiss.
Was just a snake with a hiss.
And all I will miss
The scent of a twilight bliss.
Never suited this life at all.
Now take my picture from your wall.
And forget me as I know you will.
My lifetime was the cheapest thrill.
I spit in the face of love.
And handle carefully, with glove
Cupid's poisonous dart.
Shot right through my heart.
Now, bereft of memory
Eternity has set me free.
I cry no more.
As I stand solo.
Frozen under starlight glow.
I have chosen to merge
With colours of rainbow.
Find me in morning dew.
Love.
Death delivered me from you.

O Beauty of Night...
As the golden sun goes to rest,
And the sky drape into black blanket,
Now take your turn
O beauty of Night – Moon.
Variety of moods makes me wonder,
Sometimes you look like circular disc,
At times spongy ball of cotton
O beauty of Night – Moon.
Eyes long to catch the glimpse,
Hands reach to hold you,
Lips hum song for you,
O beauty of Night – Moon.
Play not hide & seek,
Cover not behind the dark cloud
Unveil your beauty for me to gaze
O beauty of Night – Moon.
Cool gentle breeze blowing in silent night
Urge my heart to
Bathe in the white beam
O beauty of Night - Moon.
Reflection of my love I see in you
Fall down from the starry sky
To hold you in my arms
O beauty of Night – Moon.

Tickin Away
The clock above the bar
Is telling me its 12:15
And its not such a gentle reminder
That Im where I shouldnt be
I just keep waiting for something to happen
Waiting for somebody to come walking in
Somebody as perfect as you were
So I can try it again
(but) chances are so hard to come by
And the second one is impossible to find
The clock keep running
And the odds keep getting higher
That its all just a fantasy of mine
But I shouldnt be thinking about it
I shouldnt be worried about it
Its just a clock on the wall
But its ticking away
Its ticking away
Its ticking away
Its ticking away
I suppose I should cut all my losses
Go home with a six-pack of beer
There aint nobody in the world like you baby
If there was, she wouldnt be coming in here
But I shouldnt be thinking about it
I shouldnt be worried about it
Its just a clock on the wall
But its ticking away
Its ticking away
Its just a clock on the wall
But its ticking away
Yeah, its ticking away
Its ticking away
Its just a clock on the wall
But its ticking away
I suppose I should cut all my losses
Go home with a six-pack of beer

Sacrificial Love
Staring into your blue pools of forever.
Looking deep into your soul.
Heaven has come to earth.
Your touch, like a warm summer breeze.
Filling my heart, making me want more.
Being without you is like a never ending drought.
Coarse sand blowing in my face.
Bringing tear to my eyes.
My heart once beating so loud, now wounded.
Deflating slowly like a tire leaking air.
It is almost flat.
It is like living in hell.
The fires of love once burning, now scorching my soul.
I wander like a nomad, my soul is now a gypsy.
Wandering the earth, reminiscing about home.
Home is you.
It is where my heart is.
You will never know the true feelings in my heart.
What you call expectations, I call hope.
If I gave you my heart, would you feel what I feel?
Would you then know what you mean to me?
I will hang on my cross.
I pray I will rise soon.
The pain is immense.
I hang on my cross for you until it is done.
My sacrifice.
Because you are worth it.

How load is pain?
How loud is pain?
Can any one hear does anyone know?
Can you see my sat hunched against the wall.
Just how much futher can I fall?
Here I am all the pain pileing on.
How loud is pain?
Can any one see my hidden tears?
Can anyone see all my fears?
I wonder why all these years?
Just how much more can I take?
How loud is pain?
Can pain ever be clear?
My heart is braking in two.
Here I sit my back against the wall.
My head in my knees.
Only I know the truth.
How loud is pain?

Because Of You
It was once for you
In the summer sun, the sense of gentle breeze
Stirred my heart.
The words of mine were shedding jasmine,
Only found the hard ground to fall upon,
Beneath your feet, ignored….
Wish you ever knew!
With the closed eyes though
I carried a fragrant soul, only because of you.
It was only because of you then
A storm arouse to leave an inebriated mind
I floated like a broken leaf in that wind
Whispered in your ears my pain, my joy…
Didn't know though, if I was ever heard!
Amazed at your beauty of bloomed Poinciana
Colored heart of mine ever cared for you;
Even I feared sometimes of losing you
When your open arms seemed to have touched the sky.
It was only because of you
I ever had wings to fly...
My dreams could touch the rainbow...
Waiting to bloom, I knew the bud's cry.
With the tide of time, I find you far away.
Dreams are like autumn leaves, broken….
Found ground to lie.
Craving for love the deserted heart only knew
To shower tears upon stones.
It's because of you.

2 In 1
I thinkabout the sun
from sunset to sunrise
like hideand seek, this celestial object
hides from me, and when the sun leaves
the moon peaks from behind the darkness
i stay outall night just to harnest,
midnights beauty, she's sucha beauty
the stars make-up the midnight sky,
like make up they shine when she blushes
Likea shush, the darkness remains silent
at midnights still, the wind blows
and you can feel, the touch of beauty
as the light of the moon shines on the concrete
to reflect hidden sunshine
afterall the sun hides behind the moon
likea celestial game of peeka boo,
then the sun rises to takea peak
Dont stare to longas beauty can blind
and then you willonly beable to feel
the warm embrace of the sun
as it shines over your bodyand
it kisses your cheek puttinga smile
on your face, a smileonly the
sun or moon can make you display,
as it is for the glow of the moon
or the suns rays

Chloe
Chloe, i hang onto the past
Like a chandelier in a darkened room
But your hope is in the future
As light emerges from the gloom.
My sunset will be your dawn
Your happiness will be reborn.
It's snowy, but Chloe, ice will melt away.
Life, the price we have to pay
For the sun will light the bay
When silent fears sail away.
Chloe, we hang our hopes on a crescent moon
The aching in our hearts not just a pleasant tune
Scarred but starred like tender night
We feel the dark but wait for the light.
Our words still survive on a nomadic wind
Our thoughts free and open, with reality twinned.
Be proud, that life's shroud you have cast away
To feel out loud, while others torn, do fray-
Keeping it all inside on this roller- coaster ride
-They had so neatly planned, when love went hand in hand
As passion's fire was fanned.
Then Cupid turned out their light.
We still have the blue crazed night.
Chloe, continue to fly your kite
While the smug are convinced they are right.
Yes, the heart must rule the head
No skeleton ever bled
No feeling, no life, just dead.
Chloe we hang our hopes on a crescent moon.
