Enlighten
Enlighten
Yes and in this eternal flame
I will overcome this small
part of my existence, Yes
and I shall conquer rain,
warm the cold to melt one's
ice-covered soul and in this all
I shall burn by faith in love
enlighten trust.

Looking Up
-There is this thing up
In the deep, of the sky
Persistently it passes by -
Optimists claim
Forever it shall return...
But I, I wonder; How long can it continue to burn?
When I was so very young
Not a true worry, did I know
For of nowhere did I have need to go -
Then came along Maturity
Leaving me discontent anywhere to stay...
And always wanting, for a far better way.
The burning in my soul
Took my youth, yet keeps coming back
Trying to enlighten the trust I so lack -
Dispair attempts to snuff it all out
While I hope to be strong...
And Truth come to discover...before I am entirely gone.
There- way up there- is a bird in the sky
Freely flying, so very high
Does he look up at the sun, Does he wonder if it will ever be done -
Or does he simply reach out in faith to touch the heat
Understanding one must risk the burn...
If one wants to feel life's eternal heart beat?

Rivers of Love
River, river flow through all
Enlighten with all your divine goodness
Let us all feel your precious river
Flowing through our veins
Even in our deepest hour
Enlighten all burdens
Let all call and feel the wonders of wonders
Through the warmth of your love
To really feel, and to know you never refuse
Oh how gracious you are
When in the stillness of all silence
Beauty, rejoicing enlighten all
Oh river of love nothing can compare

Love's eternal sphere
Love's eternal sphere
Charm me with your eyesight
warm me with your breath
fire my urges into light
awake me from my death
Seduce me in your perfumed scent
and steal my clothes away
for in these sheets of love I meant
to shelter and next to you lay
Oh lure me into sensuality
come take me far from here
i'll drape our dress with melody
of love's eternal sphere

Sonnet: Have Trust/Faith in God
Have trust in God and things will turn out right;
Have faith in God and mountains melt like ice;
Have trust in Him- temptations you can fight;
Have faith in Him and Life will become nice.
Have trust in God for He can do all things;
Have faith in God who solves problems we can’t;
Have trust in Him who selects Leaders/ Kings;
Have faith in Him who feeds Ants /Elephant.
Have trust in God for He is our Friend true;
Have faith in God who remains always near;
Have trust in Him who brings the rain and dew;
Have faith in Him who is our Father dear.
Have trust in God who is so kind yet terse;
Have faith in Him who rules the universe!

Indulge Me
My latest little mood
A darker shade of blue
Still I draw closer to you
My pretty little dress
Begins to look a mess
Infatuation come through
Enlighten me with you
Look at things the way you do
Indulge me please
Ill take the breath you breathe
Take heart Im telling you
My life has come too soon
But somewhere Ill find some time
In every other way
Youve told me what to say
These final words now are mine
Enlighten me with you
Look at things the way you do
Indulge me please
Ill take the breath you breathe
Make the dream come true
Show me how to comfort you
Indulge me please
Ill take the breath you breathe
You may have walked away
But were still as close
As when I gazed
Deep in your gentle eyes
Enlighten me with you
Look at things the way you do
Indulge me please
Ill take the breath you breathe
Make the dream come true
Show me how to comfort you
Indulge me please
Ill take the breath you breathe
Enlighten me with you
Look at things the way you do
Indulge me please
Ill take the breath you breathe
Make the dream come true
Show me how to comfort you
Indulge me please
Ill take the breath you breathe
Enlighten me with you
Look at things the way you do
Indulge me please
Ill take the breath you breathe
Make the dream come true
Show me how to comfort you
Indulge me please
Ill take the breath you breathe

I Search the Light
I search the light
Please tell me someone
Where it can be found
The light that make me feel
In the heaven and can heel
My soul wounds that have pain
The light that enlighten me
With spiritual depth and peace
Of mind soul and inner feel
The light that reach the darken
World of ignorance and cruelties
To make the world a bunch of flowers
With untouched beauty and fragrance
I search the light
To enlighten the days of peace
I search the light the true light
Please tell me someone who can see

Having Wisdom
Having wisdom should enlighten,
But sometimes it can frighten.
Especially when its expected,
Those of age should reflect it.
But they don't.
A disproportionate of those shallow...
Can be callous with a callowness expressed.
Believing an aging process,
Delivers them out of an immaturity that is further digressed.
Yes...
Having wisdom should enlighten.
Having it should produce the brightest moments,
Of our days.
Yet it seems that having wisdom does not mean...
An extension of it shared is not declared,
But the thought of it demeans.
And that is troubling today,
When so many escapes from it are seen!

The Pyro Maniac
A pyro with a flame.
Just writing your name in the sand.
Time tics by and fire after fire does not end the desire.
It's passion.
It's love.
It's a child's laughter.
Nothing left untouched.
As he makes his mark.
Personal and distant.
He's lived it.
Through the the fires eyes.
He can't help it.
He just want to watch everything burn.
Burn, Burn, Burn.
He speak to the eternal flame.
And she rise from the ashes.
Back again just the same.
Glowing so bright, so hot.
So appealing he can not ever turn away.
A obsession everyday.
No he doesn't care.
His mind is most certainly else where.
He can't help it
He just wants to watch everything burn.
Burn, Burn, Burn.
As holy body it rises from the grave.
As a scientific miracle it saves.
Staving off the cold.
Turning something into nothing.
It's just so amazing.
Captivating.
A star studded glaze.
An everlasting stare into nowhere.
Exhilarating is the feeling he gets.
Ever single time.
He can't help it.
He just wants to watch everything burn.
Burn, Burn, Burn.
He's a maniac.
No doubt it.
Completely reckless to t.
But its his divinity.
His saving grace.
His ace.
And he has a constant need to play it.
Even if someone dies.
He's not worried about it.
It off to the next.
He can't help it.
He just wants to watch everything burn.
Burn, Burn, Burn.
Yeah just burn, burn, burn, oh burn.

Real Fact
When you try to enlighten others
your own life enlightens up completely.
This is the true fact,
As if you share your knowledge,
knowledge gets widen with discussion.
As if you study alone and not sharing it,
It would be the insult of education
Because that kind of education is not beneficial.
Thus, I wish we all share whatever we know,
so that yours, mine and everyone's life would enlighten up.

Talk Talk Talk
A healthy argument to start the day, what better way
We chew the fat of life, we're moved to tears
Lend me your ears
But you spend all your time
Waiting in static shopping lines
And all your troublesome debates
Are solved in glossy magazines
Too much small talk leaves you with small minds
So tell me what your views are
And I will tell you mine
Well how's the weather
(grey and boring)
It's back to work on
(Monday morning)
Oh let it go
Tell me things I'd like to know
Frighten me, enlighten me, oh no
Opinion can be void if not presented from both sides
So speak your mind my dear, your loves and fears
And nothing in between
Initiate debate about
The way you hate the things I say
I'd rather that then spend another minute
Killing time
Too much small talk leaves you with small minds
So tell me all your secrets
I'll never tell you mine
Well how's the weather
(grey and boring)
It's back to work on
(Monday morning)
Oh let it go
Tell me things I'd like to know
Frighten me, enlighten me, oh no

Made Of Stone (808 State Remix)
Your knuckles whiten on the wheel
The last thing that your hands will feel
your final flight can't be delayed
No earth just sky it's so serene
Your pink fat lips let go a scream
You fry and melt I love the scene
Sometimes I fantasize
When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me
Don't these times fill your eyes
When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me
Are you all alone
Is anybody home?
I'm standing warm against the cold
Now that the flames have taken hold
At least you left your life in style
And for as far as I can see
Tin twisted grills grin back at me
Bad money dies I love the scene
Sometimes I fantasize
When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me
Don't these times
Fill your eyes
When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me
Are you all alone
Is anybody home
Sometimes I fantasize
When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me
Don't these times
Fill your eyes
When the streets are cold and lonely
And the cars they burn below me
Are you all alone
Are you made of stone

What is to Be Done
'Readers attempting to associate the poem’s ideas with its writer’s life or thoughts will be wasting their time; readers attempting to find a moral in it will sadly find nothing.'
I say nothing to be done
They retort, “Where have hope and happiness gone? ”
I persist: noting to be done
No fun; everything is gone
Nothing to be done
Your son has gone
Your son has a gun
Your son has run
Your son won a gun
What is to be done?
“Faith can do the job,
Faith can be the beacon of hope
Faith can lift the burden of stress”
I respond:
Faith can be faked by some
Faith can be exploited by some
Faith can be the pretext for killing some
What is to be done?
Where have people gone?
Tell me where they have gone!
Enlighten me where they have run!
Do not you dare say “they still have sons and guns! ”
But in the end, something can be done
With faith everything can be done
But it has to be carried out by everyone
Otherwise, nothing to be done

Rain Love
Rain Rain Love
Rain Rain Love
Rain Rain Love
Rain Rain Love
Threw out my old raincoat
Set sail without a boat
For places somewhere far beyond my dreams
As the sky came pouring down
I lay down on the ground
Like I was dreaming, I let the feeling wash all over me
Rain Love Covered around me
Rain Rain Love Finally found me
This time you're gonna recognise
One drop will open up your eyes
Rain Love
It's the colour of every sky
It's the way to change the tide
When the world is crumbling down on you and me
It's the calm that lifts the storm
It's the promise that keeps you warm
When you don't understand, just touch the guiding hand that comforts me
Rain Love...
Takes this lot to make you realise
No greater love could ever fill the sky
Rain Love....

Man On Fire
Im a man on fire
Its a burning thing
Itll burn on forever
If you feed me baby
Im a man on fire
An eternal flame
Itll burn on forever
If you feed me baby , oh ......
Gotta be a place to go in the midnight hour
Heart of a woman and just a little bit of pulling power
The feelings got me
I dont know what it means
I know it must be wrong
But when you love somebody you dream
And I dream
I save the love down deep inside me
For the moment when you come
And youre there , and youre gone
And Im alive for you
And my love keeps hanging on
There is no life
No reason to go on believing in the stronger love
There is no unifying , if I dont hear you crying
Im yours , youre mine , no power in the world
Together we are strong in love
And when your storm is over, Ill show how warm my love can be
And me , Im a man on fire
Im a man on fire
Its a burning thing
Itll burn on forever
If you feed me baby
Im a man on fire
An eternal flame
Itll burn on forever
If you feed me baby , oh...
Ready when the lightning strikes and he deed is done
Im not a beginner
But Im a sinner when the heat is on
Nothing gonna stop me , got me all that you need
Women when you need somebody
A women with a face and a body , you dream
And I dream
I save the love down deep inside me
For the moment when you come
And youre there and youre gone
And Im alive for you
And my love keeps hanging on
There is no life
No reason to go on believing in the stronger love
There is no unifying
If I dont hear you crying
Im yours, youre mine , no power in the world
Together we are strong enough
And when your storm is over
Ill show how warm my love can me
And me , Im a man on fire
(break)
Im a man on fire
Its a burning thing
Itll burn on forever
If you feed me baby
Im a man on fire
An eternal flame, oh baby
Dont you know that Im burning up
(its a burning thing)
In the flame of your love
Dont you know that Im burning up
(ita burning thing)
In the flame of your love
Dont you know that Im burning up |repeat these 2 lines |
(its a burning thing) |and fade out |

Ai
My artificial intelligence filled the form,
Slotted chips informed and processed it;
My protein was fixed to clot with incredible speed,
Savage damage was the result.
I filled the form to enlighten them,
As a robot, I enlighten and converse
To ignore pain and hold trauma,
There is no feeling of intense pain.
Bring the handcuffs and your license,
Also the chip scanning equipment;
Please do not hack or steal my information,
Thanks to my artificial intelligence.

My Heart Is Small
MY HEART IS SMALL
My heart is small
My mind also-
I cannot feel much
Or think much now-
I try by writing
To revive myself,
But I am small and cold
As the harsh winter rain outside.
I cannot somehow warm my soul within
Little words
Little lines
A poem of small feeling
In the deep dark of winter
On the coldest darkest night of the year.

Universe in love
Universe in love
In thine arms the world, thy hold,
ah love, thy art of never told
's what makes me seek thy trace
from me to you and from thy pace
I feel the tender pulse of time
grow stronger in this rendered rhyme
thou art engendered from a far
my faithful wish is on thy star
Ah Love, thou'st yielded life within,
conquer our hearts for thee to win.
