Whatever Initiates Your Motivation

What is wrong with you?
You have just been slandered.
Your good deeds done diminished.
Your character is daily assassinated.
And you can smile like that?

'Of course.
Do you know how long it has taken me,
To gain the attention of those who deceive?
This is the most refreshing time of my life.'

I think you're nuts!

'Thank you very much.
And if I had no value to place on your opinion,
I'd be devastated by your remarks.
As long as you believe I am crazed,
We will remain the best of friends.'

WHY?
Why do you do what you do?
It makes no sense to me.

'Whatever initiates your motivation,
Has nothing to do with how I get mine.
Remember that.'

Noticed

I know you would love to find me wrong.
And I would just love to find you...
Expressing an opinion,
That had a conviction you felt strong enough
To believe!

Instead of finding someone to hide behind...
To encourage them to despise,
And look down upon me!
I am not that foolishly convinced,
Of your intentions!

But then again...
You represent so many,
Who character assassinate...
As a means to live a low life,
With incentives to increase a self esteem.
I have witnessed that too often.

You're the kind to deceive another,
Who hopelessly believes...
A projected motivation...
Feeds all of your needs!
And I have noticed you too long...
Not to know this,
As I notice.

In

In her eyes, I see a warm light
In my arms, I'll make her feel right
In her hand, I'll feel so strong
In my hand, I'll hold her so long
In her touch, she'll make me break
In my touch, I'll let her sleep till shes awake
In her heart, I'll gain a place
In my heart, All I see is her face
In her soul is a caring girl
In my soul, she makes up my world
In my life, I'll show her no wrong
In her life, I'll care about her for a time thats long
She'll never know what to do with me
It wont be a concern, cuz I wont leave
I'll make her smile
I'll make her giggle
I'll be her knight with a smile
I'll show her a good life, always big, never little

We Shall Always Be Friends

Do not worry.
You will lose me.
As your lover.

But we will always
be friends.
This is what you wanted.

But remember
friends drift away
often lose touch
one parting day.

For life is too busy.
New jobs and new friends.
Take us away.

Demand our loyalty.
Commitments of time.

Eventually we often find
a new lover we need,
to fill empty spaces in life;
to become our husband
or wife; to share our life.

To build a new future with
to commit all our time with.

But we can still be friends
with old lovers?

Spare them fragments
of our time,
every few weeks
or month or yearly,
or in our thoughts
and memories,
as time rolls on by.
The odd cup of coffee, tea,
or drinks, or social functions.

Conversations on telephones
a letter or card or two.
Especially at Christmas.
Time passes and we
remain good friends.
Even though eventually
we do not see each other.
Ever again as time
takes our meetings away.

But we can still
remain friends.
As old lovers sometimes do.
But it is never the same.
It is progressive loss not gain.
But we shall always
be old friends.
Even when we shall
never meet again.

We can be
just friends.
But friends drift
apart in the end.

So Small Is One Pea

So small is one pea,
When it is in a soup with nuts.
To distinguish it as being insignificant,
Would depend on who valued the adding of it...
Had something to do with the enhancement of the flavor.
And without the addition of just that one pea,
Would the attention given to the nuts...
Be then diminished?

Friends With You

What a friend we have in time
Gives us children, makes us wine
Tells us what to take or leave behind
And the gifts of growing old
Are the stories to be told
Of the feelings more precious than gold
Friends I will remember you, think of you
Pray for you
And when another day is through
Ill still be friends with you
Babies days are never long
Mothers laugh is babys song
Gives us all the hope to carry on
Friends I will remember you, think of you
Pray for you
And when another day is through
Ill still be friends with you
Friends I will remember you,
Think of you, pray for you
And when another day is through
Ill still be friends with you
Friends I will remember you,
Think of you, pray for you
And when another day is through
Ill still be friends with you

Remember the 'Virtue Years'?

It is a good feeling to be thanked.
Without those ulterior motives floating.

Someone who just says 'Thank you! '
And that's it!
With nothing to gain.
Or leave behind nothing to suspect.
Is given undo attention.
If any is given at all.

Remember the 'virtue years'?
Those who are still able to maintain a sense of sanity do!
And there are so few still with 'us'.

I remember the days when people spoke and said 'Hello! '
Without one eyebrow arched over an eye,
Moving swiftly from one's head to toe.
Those who are lucky enough,
Know this.
And...
Children were so respectful.

Today,
If children are respectful...
Immediately we detect something is wrong.
So we hurry along to get away from them,
As fast as we can!
With a forced smile and eyes fixed,
On keeping them distant.

To get home as quick as possible...
To lock our doors.
And take sneak peeks from behind draped windows.
Hoping we have not been followed!
With claims of how the world has changed.
And not hold our own selves responsible!

Of course 'these' actions are not deranged.
Especially when it has been determined,
We have arrived safely to a protective place.
To then take our appropriate medications.
You know...
The ones for high blood pressure!

Remember the 'virtue years'?
Those who are still able to maintain a sense of sanity do!
Or whatever that is we are calling our fears!
And doctors then were not considered our best friends.
To call whenever we developed hypochondriatic symptoms.
At least we know they are there caring...
About our health and adequate insurance coverage!

Hello

Hello hello, its great to see you once again
Its been so long,
We were such friends,
Long time ago
Hello hello, your smiling face
Your warm embrace,
Weve been apart,
Far too long,
It felt so wrong
Nice to know, youre coming over
Nice to know, the wait is over
Hello hello, is that a smile on your face
Heres a kiss,
Just in case,
This ones for you
Hello hello, its great to see you once again
Its been so long,
We were such friends,
Long long time ago

A school life

The weather can be totally unpredictable
The human tendency like it is not at all acceptable
The rain is our main source of inspiration
We welcome it in its complete duration

There is tremendous change with the arrival of season
Initial days are quite enjoyed with good reasons
The children too like their initial school days
The parent to find good hope with rays

The school transform the character of child
They learn the basic elements and remain mild
They have innocence but do not act as fool
They learn a lot so long as they remain in school

It is lot more to gain and act
This is most unforgettable fact
It is always remembered in spare days
As it has taught us in many ways

There is enough time to focus on future
The last year shapes destiny and makes it sure
The time is approaching near to give farewell
Everybody is in fine mood to remember it well

The last moments are full of joy
They make it memorable and enjoy
The time and tide waits for none
The saying is well remembered by everyone

The school days are not forever
It has brief spell but to be spent there however
The long association makes them little upset
But the day for for departure is already set

It is natural to feel pain in separation
Everybody become so much emotional
So many incidences emerge in memory lane
As they have decided to leave the school by bus or plane

It may be altogether new experience
Now they have responsibility and enough sense
They may remain busy after leaving the busy life
The teacher has always remained them about edge of knife

They are needing good advice and direction
Whole future depends upon their action
The school platform has limited role
They may have to adjust with different poles

As the days are nearing to depart
They slowly gather to celebrate it in part
They may freely move and try to find
They will be out soon for the new world to find

It may be worrying them a lot
They fear fear and would not want to be caught
The life has become full of ups and down
Now they have to share the burden and own

Time may come soon to be separated
It will become past to be only related
It will remain as lost memory in one corner
They part of new life later or sooner

The path lay wide open to march
No one may lead you with torch
You were ably guided here by teacher
There you will be with respectable sirs

Defenseless Against Critics

As long as your stature remains credible,
I will defend you.
And nothing you do...
In my eyes,
Will be regrettable.

As long as your ideals remain upfront,
Without the pulling of stunts...
That initiates the beginning of a witch hunt.
I will defend you.
That's what I will do to prove my loyalty is true.

I am not one quick to leave when the heat gets hot.
I am not one to flee from a good thing I've got.
I'll even accept mud thrown in my face...
If that's what it takes,
To keep you and I protected in a safe place.

As long as your stature remains credible,
I will defend you.
And nothing you do...
In my eyes,
Will be regrettable.

And regardless of what others may say,
I've been with you too long...
To be chased away.
This I have proven over our time spent together.
And you know this.

How many times have you healed my wounds?
When I came to you,
Defenseless against critics.
To become even stronger...
As if it was meant for us together to stick with it.

Legends

We've seen them,
Being knocked down.
We've seem them,
Slandered and berated.
We've hurt them,
As they were...
Character assassinated.
And...
They were also ostracized and isolated.
So what will happen to them next?

'There are those who now wish to call them,
Legends.
And put that in a way that is for all effective.
With awards to honor them for what had been rejected.
With the hopes they will show up and all of us accepted,
As fans! '

The Remembrance

When things are down
And you are out of your mind
Remember just remember
Allah is The Kind.

When your life is in darkness
And nothing is right
Remember just remember
Through the darkness, Allah is The Light.

When nothing makes sense
And you're heading for demise
Remember just remember
It doesn’t make sense, but Allah is The Wise.

When times are troubled
And no one seems to care
Remember just remember
Allah won’t hurt you, He is The Fair.

When your heart is breaking
And your pain makes you fall
Remember just remember
Allah Sees it all.

When you are weak
And the road seems long
Remember just remember
Seek strength from The Strong.

When life is a burden
And everything is unstable
Remember just remember
Allah is The Able.

When the way is cloudy
And there is no one by your side
Remember just remember
Allah is The Only Guide.

When no one wants to listen
Nor is willing to lend an ear
Remember just remember
Allah is always ready to hear.

When you are poor and penniless
And you are stuck in a niche
Remember just remember
Allah is The Rich.

When you are down in your misery
And there is nowhere to run
Remember just remember
You can always run to The One.

And when your wounds are hurting
And your heart is in fear
Remember just remember
Allah is really here.

THIS...Can Be Believed

THIS...
May one day,
Click in the minds of those with a dawning.
With an understanding of humanity that sinks in!
But there are very few who have been belittled,
To then be discredited for their deeds and efforts...
Who sit by their telephones anticipating calls.
Or...
Are they sitting up all night hoping to receive invitations,
From anyone in their past...
Who had assassinated their characters.

THIS...
Is not an activity,
Of those who are aware of who took aim to defame them.

THIS...
Can be believed,
Is not a wish or a main objective...
That provides a motivation that propels anyone to succeed.

THIS...
Delusion,
Is only in the mindset of those who perceive themselves...
As being the center of the universe.
And whomever had led them to believe this,
Is equally crazed to eventually be exposed.
With an elimination of doubt as to who has fed on madness.

Smile! :) ?

Smile...whenever you are free
Just have a walk somewhere near sea..

A smile for u to kip calm and in ease
This smile, that makes u feel like a cool breeze..

A smile when there`s no place to accommodate
Give A smile even when there`s no time to celebrate..

Smile when your wardrobe is has nothing new
Wear something differently from that existing hue..

A smile..to impress
U should have for you to dress..

Smile when your friends turn lazy
That's the time when u start acting crazy..

The smile when u rise up in d crowd
Is the one which makes u feel proud..

A smile when u in a hurry
A smile even when you are in a great flurry..

Smile when u are stuck in traffic
Turn on the deck & feel the magic..

Smile when u have no new songs in d playlist
Don`t forget..still the radio exist..

Smile when you are full of sweat
Weather will change and turn wet..

Smile while u mask yourself
Smile even when you don`t have anyone to help
Just remember..your time will come, time will change..

Smile when u think your destiny is too long
Just start a song and walk along..

Smile after finishing the quest
That smile after giving your best..

And..those tough look with a smile u give
Your rival can be convinced and let you forgive..

Smile to weaken your enemy
This will end them with their envy..

Smile..when everything goes wrong
Fight and survive to prove yourself strong! ..

Smile when your lover leaves u and goes
The whip they will experience just like a blow..

Smile when someone leaves u with some memory
Let them go and show their bravery..

Smile when there is no one to stands with u
Just watch the moon, above in the sky blue..

Smile when u are been hospitalized
The reason that will make u feel energized..

Donate a smile while u take some rest
After clearing your deals with a pest..

Smile when u have nothing new to tweet
Heheh..you can't even repeat..

Smile..because everything else, will happen on its own :))

As Long As You Smile

I would dig my own grave,
And lay to rest alive,
As long as you smile,

Taking a long thin blade,
Stabbing it through my chest,
As long as you smile,

Shedding out tears,
Like the clouds pour rain,
As long as you smile,

Because as long as you smile,
The sun will shine,
As long as you smile,
The stars will light up the night,
And as long as you smile,
I will be here,
But when that apocalyptic day comes,
And your smile fades away,
There will be nothing left for me,
As your smile means the world to me,

So smile,
If not for you,
For me

As long as you smile,
I will smile,
And join you,
In a place where there is only you and I,
Together like spring and flowers,
Never without one another,
Alone in the light rain showers,
We shall stand,

And if we are ever torn apart,
Searching for each other,
Till found,
Reunited,
So smile,
Just smile,
And as long as you smile,
All will be fine

Small Smiles

Take time out every day
Have some fun in your way
And remember to smile
For it goes a long mile
Because life is hard and long
Where you need to prolong
Few moments of joy that survive
In this hard and bitter life
So learn for a little while
How to create series of smiles
Because though its a little thing
It creates for you a blessing's ring
so take time out every day
To have fun in your way
And always remember to smile
For it really goes long miles.

Stay For A While

Long time since Ive seen your smile,
But when I close my eyes,
I remember
You were no more than a child,
But then so was i,
Young and tender.
Time carries on;
I guess it always will,
But deep inside my heart
Time stands still.
Stay for awhile.
Well, its good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
Stay for awhile.
And remember the days gone by;
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be.
Snowfalls, phone calls, broken hearts,
Clear summer days,
Warm and lazy;
Long walks, long talks, after dark;
We vowed wed never forget.
Now its hazy.
Time takes its toll,
And time alters our view.
It would be nice to
Spend some time with you.
Oh, stay for awhile.
Well, its good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
(oohhh) stay for awhile.
And remember the days gone by;
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be.
Stay....
(please stay.)
Stay, stay, stay....
One, two, one, two.
Stay for awhile.
Well, its good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
(oohhh) stay for awhile.
And remember the days gone by;
Just the way it used to be.
Stay for awhile.
Oh, its good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
Wont you stay with me for awhile,
And remember the days gone by;
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be.
(the way it used to be. be.......
The way it used to be, ooohhhh, aaaahhhhhh. ooooooooooooooh.
Now, now, now, now.... hoohhhhhh....)

Remember Manhattan

Nothing worth a damn
Can be sifted through the brain
Sense dont make the
Man
But you insist on being sane
Dont take time to
Think
Or youre done before
You start
Theres no missing link
Cause its right there
In your heart
Take a closer look,
Theres an answer not a
Question
In that may-december line
Youll bite a bigger
Hook
Than the one you want to leave behind
Remember manhattan
Woody wasnt wrong
Remember manhattan
Before you say so long
How you gonna tell
If it stands the test of time
Theres no wishing well
That comestrue without the dime
Its a common curse
That the grass is always greener
No matter what you have
But nothing could be worse
Than to try to reproduce the past
Remember manhattan
Woody wasnt wrong
Remember manhattan
Before you say so long
Remember manhattan
What did woody say
He said, remember manhattan
Before you walk away
Lose your common sense
cause you may not get the chance again

Humming

Closer,
No hesitation,
Give me,
All that you have.
And its been so long,
That I cant explain
And its been so long,
Right now,so wrong.
Naked,
My thoughts are creeping,
Too late,
The show has begun.
cause its been so long,
That I cant confess,
And its been so long,
Right now so wrong.
Is it all as it seems
So unresolved, so unredeemed,
If I remain, how will I know.
cause its been so long,
That I cant be sure,
And its been so wrong,
Right now, so wrong.

In A Glass House

I've seen love
I've seen hate
I've seen all the emotion god creates.
I've seen good
I've seen bad
I've seen everything that you could ever have.
I've seen you
I've seen me
I've seen everything that i could want to be.
I've seen tall things
I've seen long things
I've seen everything a man was meant to see.
No one came,
No one is here
No one remembers.
Makes cambodia look like kansas,anytime
I've heard truth
I've heard lies
I've heard everything that ever crossed your mind.
I've heard( lust?)
I've heard screams
I've heard everything that makes you give up dreams.
I've heard you
I've heard me
I've heard everything i wish that( ****?) ever be
I've heard music, new heroes
Then i've heard some things i really wouldn't know
(***** ***** ***** ?)
Look in my heart
You will remember
People came
You (fell?) on me
I can remember
Makes cambodia look like kansas,anytime
I break hearts
I broke mine
I'll break everything i'm given if( ***?) time
I've said things i don't mean
I could lie in front of god and he'll beleive

Some go some stay

Old Friends Of Mine

The songs they were singing from the golden days of our spring. When laughter rang out from those old friend of mine.

Where have they gone in the passing of time, and where are they now those old friends of mine.

The years have clouded the memories of them. The grey hairs are showing, how long has it been?

Oh where did they go? The friends of my youth. The flames of a young life and the passions we knew.

The days are shorter. Life still goes on. Our children are playing like we used to do.

Will they remember the friends of their youth when they get our age in their September song?

Oh where have they now those old friends of mine?
