Seeking Fresh Air and a Bright Sunrise
I hope you don't confuse my clarity,
As a sign of disrespect?
I awakened one morning...
Seeking fresh air and a bright Sunrise.
And to my surprise,
Honesty and truth appeared...
Without invitation before my eyes.
And I knew this was real...
Because I heard no whispering done,
With the passing of lies!
I hope you don't confuse my clarity,
As a sign of disrespect?
I awakened one morning...
Seeking fresh air and a bright Sunrise.
And to my surprise,
Honesty and truth appeared...
Without invitation before my eyes.
And I knew this was real...
Because I heard no whispering done,
With the passing of lies!
So I hope my pursuing of more of this,
Does not offend you.
And I'll do the best I can,
To remember what side of the Sunrise...
You have accepted to stand.

'What are you doing? '
Packing!
'Packing? Where are you going? '
I've decided I have had enough,
And I am getting rid of some stuff
That has got to go!
I woke up this morning
And was determined
To catch all bullshit by surprise!
It is no longer going to lay its eyes on my life!
I have grown tired of having my happiness
Be jeopardized by nonsense...
Excuses.
Self induced fears of being accepted.
Seeking acceptance from those who disrespect.
Neglecting my desires because of someone else's mess!
And I'm not having it anymore!
When that BS wakes up...
It's going to be on the other side of my door!
Two thousand and seven is going to arrive,
Finding me like never before!
Ready to explore the me I've ignored for too long!
Two thousand and six...
Took some hits on my life!
And all the shit associated with it,
I am kicking to the curb!
'Oh! So you're not going anywhere? '
Sssshhh! ...
I want this to be a surprise!
All this baggage is going to be gone,
By sunrise!

Sunrise
Looks like morning in your eyes
But the clocks held 9:15 for hours
Sunrise
Sunrise
Couldn't tempt us if it tried
Cuz the afternoon's already come and gone
And I said
oooh, oooh, oooh
To you
Surprise
Surprise
Couldn't find it in your eyes
But I'm sure it's written all over my face
Surprise
Surprise
Never something I could hide
When I see we made it through another day
Then I say
oooh, oooh, oooh
To you
And now the night
Will throw its cover down on me again
And if I'm right
It's the only way to bring me back
oooh, oooh, oooh
To you

Sunrise Sign Missing
Now I used to live on the Avenue
named Sunrise-
The avenue's sign has gone missing
which is a surprise.
Only the people who already
know of this street—
can find their way to it
without a map of it on a sheet.
Is this sign a trophy on a wall somewhere?
Is this a sign that the street itself is invisible
to the sun's glare?
Sunrise is still the street I used to live—
it is the last name to my poet's alias.

Sunrise
Sunrise
And the new days breakin through
The morning
Of another day without you
And as the hours roll by
No-ones there to see me cry
Except the sunrise
The sunrise and you
Tired eyes drift across the shore
Looking for love and nothing more
But as the sea rolls by
No-ones there to see me cry
Excep the sunrise
The sunrise and you
Sunrise
Bless my eyes
Catch my soul
Make me whole again
Sunrise, new day
Hear my song
Im tired of fightin
And foolin around
But from now on
Till who knows when
My sword will be my pen
And Ill love you, love you
For all of my time

When It's Over
When you look into his eyes
It comes to you as no surprise
It's always the same
Every time he's out with you
He tries to tell you what to do
You don't need it that way
Sometimes you think you're playing the fool
He's running around breaking all the rules
Somehow that don't seem fair
There's got to be a better way
You know what I'm trying to say
'Cause deep, deep down inside
You're living in a life in total lies
What did he ever do for you
What's he trying to put you through
I just don't understand
You showed him love and tenderness
Touched him with your sweet caress
Now he's leaving you
So what's the point in working it out
Tell me what it's all about
That's why I'm saying
I hope you're with me
I hope you're with me when it's over
I hope you're with me
I hope you're with me when it's over
You won't be lonely
You won't be lonely when it's over
You won't be lonely (you)
When it's over
It's over, it's over, it's over
It's over, it's over, it's over
And in the morning when he's gone
Please don't sing that sad, sad song
I don't want to hear it
Forget about him
Let him go
It won't hurt what he don't know
What's he trying to say to you
What's he trying to tell you
He don't really care
Face the truth and realize
You don't need his alibi's
No more
I hope you're with me
I hope you're with me when it's over
I hope you're with me
I hope you're with me when it's over
You won't be lonely

Waiting For The Sunrise
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So I can take your hand and stroll about.
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So we can go on the streets and see the people smile.
Give me your hand,
So I could tell you that things will be alright.
The rooms still dark,
But it wont be so long,
And I can take you outside.
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So we can go to the park and roll about.
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So we can go to the docks and watch the boats go by.
Come on, love, give me your hand,
And things will be alright.
The rooms still cold,
But it wont be so long,
That we can go outside.
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So I could see your hair shining in the air.
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
So I can see the sky reflected in your eyes.
Come on, love, dont be depressed,
Things will be alright.
The rooms too low,
But it wont be so long,
That we can be outside.
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise,
Waiting for the sunrise.

I Like The Sunrise
(1947) duke ellington
I like the sunrise cos it brings a new day
I like the new day it brings new hope they say
I like the sunrise blazing in the new sky
Nighttimes so weary and oh so am i
Every evening I wish upon a star
That my brand new tomorrow isnt very far
When that heavy blue curtain on night
Is high in the sky way out of sight
I like the sunrise so heavenly to see
I like the sunrise and I hope it likes poor me

The Sunrise
As I lay on the beach
The sunrise
Come up
I feel wind and this just feel nice
I wish you were here with me
There is hope and life to live
I just want to hold you in my arms
I'm thinking of you
You're my sunrise because you make my darkness disappear
When I'm around you
The sunrise
I'm looking up at beautiful sky
The sunrise
Come up
I just want to relax and stay here
I wish you lay next to me
There dreams to accompliments
I want you in my arms forever and always
I'm missing you
You're my sunrise because you make me smile again when I'm around you

Sunrise Visions
Sunrise visions,
Inside without outside clouds.
Brings an experience of radiance.
And leaves upon the horizon,
At sunset...
Eyes sparkling,
With a clarity of hope!

Your Words To Me Exactly
Am I new on 'this' scene?
No...
Not at all.
I'm surprise you do not remember me.
Remember the one you said,
Was full of negativity?
And my observations,
Could be more positive than they are...
And someday would be!
If I accepted my dysfunctions.
And not try to accuse my environment for them.
Remember when you said to me,
I lived in my own world!
And that world others would never see?
Because I was denying my own insecurities?
And those were your words to me exactly!
Am I new on 'this' scene?
No...
Not at all.
I'm surprise you do not remember me.
However...
I remember that fresh look,
With a dancing clarity in your eyes.
You seem to have gotten addicted.
And I told you then...
I was just stricken with embitterness.
Never could I become fatally attracted...
To potential!
And you seem to have overdosed on delusion.
With a 'potential' to leave you 'crazed'.
I have never been filled with jealousy.
Or succumb to accept defeat.

What is hope.................
What hope means
Hope is bright shining light which keeps darkness at the bay
Hope is gentle cold breeze on a hot summer day
Hope is to remain positive when going gets tough
hope is seeking more when others think u had enough
What hope means
Hope is dreaming of tommorow
Hope is simmering under sorrow
Hope is sparkles when tears in our eyes
Hope is a beautiful thing & beutiful things never dies
What hope means
Hope is as light as a feather
Hope keeps all of us together
Hope is ubiquitous and free of cost
hope is the last thing ever lost.....

What does hope mean? ?
Hope is the bright shining light which keeps darkness at the bay
Hope is the gentle cold breeze on a hot summer day
Hope is to remain positive when it gets tough
hope is seeking more when others think of having enough
Hope is dreaming of tomorrow
Hope is simmering under sorrow

When hope is all you've got
you took everything from me
everything you could take, you took it off
but you forgot to take something from me
my hope! you can't take it from me
cos you don't even know i have it
but yes, i do
my hope never dies
my soul may be naked under the bridge
but my hope shines so bright
in such a powerfull way no one can destruct
when hope is all you've got
you can reach the stars
you can lye on the grass
and forgot about all the lies
you can dream your dreams become real
in the end,
you may have not reached a thing
but you still have something
you still have hope
even in the hardest moments in your life
when you think everyone's gone
when everything disappeared
and you think you are all alone
you still have hope
in that place where there was a heart before
and now there'r just an empty hole
when hope is all you've got
you can reach the stars
you can lye on the grass
and forgot about all the lies
you can dream your dreams are real

She 'Is'...A Child Of God
I stood and observed her,
Searching for disgarded soda cans.
And picking through trash,
From a downtown corner garbage bin!
And as I observed her,
People waiting at a bustop...
Would laugh and begin to mock.
And she would return to them,
A warm inviting grin.
And observing this I began to think,
How peaceful she appeared.
With hair fresh and netted to keep in place.
And a face...
Beautiful and radiantly clear.
She knew 'something' immediately I felt,
Deep within me.
This woman knew exactly who she was.
And in her eyes...
There was not a sign shown she was in denial.
This woman knew exactly what happiness was.
And from where she directly obtained it!
Helpless she appeared.
But a few that observed her,
Like I did...
Knew,
What she kept inside of her endeared!
She did not have to be convinced!
She knew,
She 'is'...
A child of God!

Something for someone new
I'm lying here thinking
about the way i feel
understanding we could build
something so real.
I envy the look resting
in the depths of your eyes
it speaks of honesty
instead of some lies
you make me understand
things i thought i knew
i'm so glad,
that i've met you
i'm glad that you, too, came
from an aweful past
'Cause maybe you'll help me
to move on at last
I hope that you feel
the same way i do
and that you want me
the same way i want you

The One Clearly Who Has Arrived
One's attempt to reveal honesty and truth,
Is like accepting the invitation...
To attend a masquerade party,
And without costume...
No one has a clue as to who one is!
Since everyone has been accustomed to charade.
And not to do it...
Isolates and degrades,
The one clearly who has arrived...
And to everyone's surprise is unknown

Good Morning
Good morning.
I bet you thought you'd catch me snoring?
I had to get up early with the sunrise today.
To show another side of me...
You had not seen me display my way!
Good morning.
I wont hear you say today I'm boring.
I wanted to see a surprise look in your eyes.
But you're giving me shock...
As if I am in some kind of disguise!
It's me!
No need to look for an exit to flee!
And I've prepare for you breakfast, toast...
With your choice of coffee or tea!
Scrambled eggs just the way you like them too.
But baby don't look at me...
As if I'm trying to poison you!
Good morning!
I am glad to show an appreciation,
For you that's finally dawning!
Good morning!
Baby, I'm okay!
Sweetheart get off your knees like that...
There's no reason for you to take this time to pray!
Unless you're feeling blessed,
In the same way I discovered myself today?
Good morning!
And I'm going to do...
All those things I promised I would for you!
Good morning.
Yes, it is me!
The 'me' you thought I forgot you knew!
