Faraway
Nested in the far deep,
beyond the the distant tuples of moreish smiles,
beyond the reach of a dayheat intoxicated sleep
faraway but not too long if you walk a few extra miles,
I promise, If you search you shall find.
Beneath the rolling waves of a recycled breath,
on a land formerly unclaimed
faraway from the falling moon and sun's death
through pages of titles unproclaimed
just go...
Beyond poems absorbed by a reflex thought,
between the cracked lines of a failing gravity
where we can only realise that love was never ment to be bought,
Then, true love we shall find!

Faraway
What a state to be in
Its a world of indecision
So self destructive
And such an ugly business
In and out of fashion
You always leave your mark
An indefinite decision
A dangerous remark
** when youre cold and tired
Dont turn your head away
The distance thats between us
Gets bigger every day
* how come you never see
Youre as faraway as faraway can be
Youre as faraway as faraway can be
You try so hard to impress
You talk the telephone to death
Its what you cant see that counts
But you havent worked that out yet
There is no reason
There is no plan
The truth can be deceptive
From such a quiet man
Theres madness in your words
Not wishing to be heard
But just like yesterday
Youve already slipped away
(* repeat)
(** repeat)
(* repeat)
Youre as faraway as faraway
As faraway as faraway
As faraway as faraway
As faraway as faraway
As faraway as faraway
As faraway from me as you can be

Only, If
You see me lonely
Like a turtle dove
You can up lift my spirit of love
Bringing delightful sunshine
To my gloomy life
Only, if
You promise never to curl my toes
I can hardly be in death throes
Giving green eyes but no a bell
No snowbell's chance in hell.
To the faraway love I cling
I can fix my broken wings
And fly faraway
Never get to return nor got astray.
Only, if
In a dream
I cross the sacred stream
I can reach your warm smile
Though faraway in thousands of miles
Only, if
I trek but not bear
Love we can share
Be straining the misery.

In The Deep Blue Sky
Close of from you there is always something
Dreams faraway - though twice is more than enough
Like time passes by to a world that will sing
In something that's happening all over the world
Brining to the ground what from inside is true
Footsteps going around to thinking once hurled
The playful of pulls to the up and the closing
And bringing away what they thought they found
Every aspect of happening in very first arousing
And bring to the distance
Every cloud faraway in the deep blue sky
With so much hazy of dreams that will try
With so much hazy of dreams going there by
To bring to the distance
To find what was once without any falling doubt
And giving enough of spaces there all between
Those go around in their wandering ways and about
In their hours of departing or staying
With every embrace of their opportunity
Like feelings that come for their unity
And everyone is finding inside of each own
For a while for a while
In something that's happening all over the world
Brining to the ground what from inside is true
Footsteps going around to thinking once hurled
And bring to the distance
Every cloud faraway in the deep blue sky
With so much hazy of dreams that will try
With so much hazy of dreams going there by
To bring to the distance
To the goings of my dreams in the faraway
Taking believes to its trail of another day
In the hours that come with each play
In something that's happening all over the world
Brining to the ground what from inside is true
Footsteps going around to thinking once hurled
And bring to the distance
Every cloud faraway in the deep blue sky
With so much hazy of dreams that will try
With so much hazy of dreams going there by
To bring to the distance
And bring to the distance
Every cloud faraway in the deep blue sky
With so much hazy of dreams that will try
With so much hazy of dreams going there by
To bring to the distance
And bring to the distance
Every cloud faraway in the deep blue sky
In the deep blue sky

I Promise You
i would walk through the moon and the sun just to be with you i promise.
I promise to be there for you in all of your times of joy and sorrow.
I promise to climb the highest mountain and swim the deapest ocean for you alone.I promise to make a new memory with you each and every day with you.I Promise to cry a million tears and walk a million miles to be with you.I promise to live and care for you without change.I promise to do anything for you just to see the beauty of your ravishing smile.I promise to find a new way to see fires of passion burning.I would buy a thousand rose for you just to se you smile i promise.I promise to be the best dad to our children.I will laugh with you, i will fight with you, i will share the same breath with you i promise.I promise never to steal, lie, or cheat.But if i'll steal, i promise to steal away your sorrows.And if i'll lie, i promise to lie with you all thd nights of my life.And if i'll cheat, i promise to cheat your death, because i couldn't live a day without you.I promise you.

Lorreta
Where I come from everyone is told a story
Of love that is pure and flowing towards eternity,
A love of happiness and all that is good,
Love that sees light at the core of empty dreams,
One heart to live, one love to give.
I walk from lands of near and faraway,
On my quest to find in whom my loves reflection resides,
With God's breath under my wings- I fly
Over seas, mountains and knock at heavens gates
Oh Lorreta, if I had known you were always
Within me, I wouldn't have made moved an inch,
And miss all those years I did not tell you,
'I love you.'
Beyond death to your grasp-
I collapsed into your soul.

Old Man (Faraway)
old man, old man,
sitting in your chair;
tell me the story
behind your faraway stare.
i can see by your wrinkles,
and the scars on your hands.
it's been a long journey
from that faraway land.
tell me who and why you fought,
tell me what you won and lost.
tell me who that you loved,
and who paid the cost.
tell me what you learned,
would you do it all again?
have you made peace with yourself,
are you ready to go 'round the bend?
old man, old man....
sitting in your chair;
tell me the story
behind your faraway stare....

Early Works - Our Love (The Dreams) Part 2
Throughout all creation
lovers have dabbled in the past
never really knowing
what they are looking for
or are likely to find,
I like all the rest
have never found peace,
which should come with sleep.
Even in a dream world
I search and search
for an empty promise
that was never kept
and never will be.
For I am a dreamer
and dreamers never find
the true love that awaits them
at the end of a dream.
My life is wasted
dreaming of improbable causes
that never bud and blooms
like the flowers in spring and summer.
I’m hurt every time I fall
only because a fool like me
never really deserves love
that could make me free of endless dreams.
After my fruitless searches,
I find a true love,
yet cannot fall
in case she hurts me.
For one more scar
cut into my heart
would surely end my life.
So near the womb of love
I must linger
but never enter
for upon entering and falling
I would surely lose all
and losing all is the dread I fear.
15 August 1968

Lost To An Angel
Romance was over
And love went away.
She lost him to an Angel
In heaven faraway.
She knew he had entered
High heaven above,
And will always remember
Their encounter of love.
But his life now belongs
To someone apart,
He smiles at an Angel
Who has captured his heart.
Not long ago his kisses were wine
And for a brief year or two
Her blue eyes were blind.
Then to heaven he soared
One day in the spring
Left her standing alone
Where the birds did not sing.
Romance was over
And love went away.
She lost him to an Angel
In heaven faraway.

A Thousand Miles
I'd walk a thousand miles you know
and still I'd find no where to go
unless I felt your love.
I'd run a thousand miles away
and still I'd find no place to stay
unless I felt your love.
My mind is always where you are
and so I'd travel far
to reach you and feel you
once again.
I'd drive across a desert land
and still I'd find I'm stuck in sand
unless I felt your love.
My mind is always where you are
and so I'd travel far
to reach you and feel you
once again.

End Of A Search
I am coming back to you.
I have strayed for too long,
Gone too faraway from you
Looking for treasures in the swamp
For wealth of the world
In search of an ever elusive find.
I should have known
All the time I carried you in my mind!

An Imagined Reality
I am an exception to the rule
Not to be confused with a fool
See self-denial is the ultimate tool
When error & trial become graduate school.
My expertise is in a backwards attempt
To overcome the odds & 2 laws be exempt.
Disaster becomes me & I lose myself
Into believing u r somebody else.
I love you until I take my last breath
I love you in life & again in death
I love one who I’ve never met, but thought I knew.
Love can’t right what has always been wrong
Love is not enough once that love is gone.
I love one who I can’t respect & I can’t respect you.
Thus, I will love you faraway from yourself,
Because loving you means
Disrespecting myself.

Once In A Lifetime (feat. Human Nature)
ONCE IN A LIFETIME
Kenny Loggins and Human Nature
Runaway Bride
Something about you
Oh, could it be I finally found
My destiny
Now here you are
Within my reach
How did I miss you? (how did I miss you)
When you were out there all the time
It took this moment
To make me realize...
Once in a Lifetime
You find your reason for living
You find the one that makes your every dream
Come true
(Find the one that makes your dreams...)
Oh I could search the world forever
But no one else could do
Cause once in a lifetime
You find someone like you
Ahh..
Once in a lifetime, ohh
I've waited for so long (so long)
Makin this can't nothin be but a lie
Cause all about
Standing by wind, oohh
Alone in the crowd, oh oh oh
I went through the motion (went through the motion)
Then out of heaven you arrived
Whatever was wrong
Suddenly is right
Cause once in a lifetime
You find the reason for living
You find the one who makes your every dream
Come true
(Find the one who makes your dream...)
No, I could search the world forever
And no one else would do
Cause once in a lifetime
You find someone like you
(Find someone like you...)
Hearts that wait for love can grow so weary
(Don't you know... a heart can grow?)
But it doesn't matter anymore
When you find the one you've waited for...
You find your reason for living
You find the one that makes your every dream come ... oh you make it come true
Oh you could search the world forever
But no one else would do
Cause once in a lifetime
You find someone like you.....
Cause once in a lifetime
You find someone.....
Someone like you......
(Ahhh...)
Whoaaa......................

Somewhere Out There
Last time I talked to you,
You were lonely and out of place.
You were looking down on me,
Lost out in space.
Laid underneath the stars,
Strung out and feeling brave.
Watch the riddles glow,
Watch them float away.
Down here in the atmosphere,
Garbage and city lights,
You gotta save your tired soul,
You gotta save our lives.
Turn on the radio,
To find you on sattellite,
Im waiting for the sky to fall,
Im waiting for a sign.
All we are is all so far.
Youre falling back to me,
The star that I cant see.
I know youre out there,
Somewhere out there.
Youre falling out of reach,
Defying gravity,
I know youre out there,
Somewhere out there.
Hope you remember me,
When youre homesick and need a change.
I miss your purple hair,
I miss the way you taste.
I know youll come back someday,
On a bed of nails awake.
Im praying that you dont burn out,
Or fade away.
All we are is all so far
Youre falling back to me,
The star that I cant see.
I know youre out there,
Somewhere out there.
Youre falling out of reach,
Defying gravity,
I know youre out there,
Somewhere out there.
Youre falling back to me,
The star that I cant see.
I know youre out there, oh.
Youre falling out of reach,
Defying gravity....
I know youre out there,
Somewhere out there.
Youre falling back to me,
The star that I cant see.
I know youre out there,
Somewhere out there.
Youre falling out of reach,
Defying gravity,
I know youre out there,
Somewhere out there.
Youre falling back to me.
Well I know,
I know.
Youre falling out of reach.
I know...

A Faraway Place
Oh if wishes could only come true,
you'd be with me. I'd be with you
and we would travel to a faraway place
where neither of us would have to face
all of the feelings of doubt and fear
that keep us apart and never near.
Life's too complicated I've found out
and so I'm left with so much doubt
as to how and why I can't let go?
All I'm sure of and all I know
is there is no faraway place where we
can escape and forget responsibility.
And so I know my wishes are in vain.
You can't be with me so I'll remain
lost in a world that is unfair,
wondering how and why and where
I can heal my heart, my dear?
For that faraway place is lost, I fear.

Breathe
I know it was so long a time ago,
I saw your eyes and I thought whoah!
This is too good to be true.
But here I am so far away,
And I can't get you out my head today
I just want to give you a call and say:
You take my breath away,
You take my breath away,
And there's nothing more I can say-
Please stay.
I'm trying so hard to keep you out,
But my mind just won't let your image out
And now I feel like I'm falling down.
Daydreaming in a meadow under a sky so blue,
Wondering how it could be true,
That you take my breath away, yeah you-
Take my breath away.
You're playing with my mind,
I wish that you would give me back my time-
But then I wish that you were mine.
Hypnotic, you've got me stuck here.
Entranced by your beauty,
Is there any cure for me?
I'm trying hard, but I'm losing fast.
Quick, reach in and grab me before I'm long past.
I've fallen for you once. Will it be my last?
Do I have something to say, hey!
Yeah you take my breath away,
And that's all I can really say.
So I'll try and have a sleep tonight.
Eight hours before it's light.
Except you're in my mind all night.
Please get out, but don't go. Help me,
I'm stuck in a world dreaming, let it be.
Wondering if you'll ever find me.
Until then, I suck in air, but still breathless.
Maybe one day I'll be reckless.
Maybe one day I'll be fearless.

Poems in her
Poems in her
It has become now a journey
Crusade against no one but a turn key
Almost with single thought in mind
Something new to search and find
You can call it divine injection
Penetrates in mind for lovely action
To transform thoughts into words
And create poems to look forward
Not all objects provide some clue
Some birds and natural objects are over due
Seasons and sadness come to my rescue
I think, rethink and make periodical review
Black color fascinates me so much
Not because of its color but quality as such
Its worth is precious and can't be counted in terms
But it provides enormous joy and returns
Such is my love for poetry
I consider it prayer to almighty
As words pour out to strengthen his prayer
I become mere tool and conveyer
At first sight I get enormous signals
The thought floods mind with its arrival
I look at face and it clearly impresses
I find its real worth to write poems
Can any one not read what goes on in her mind?
I certainly do when come across to find
She is certainly extra ordinary and truly gifted
Almost with same views and never shifted
I would love to dwell at length about character
The color may not play an important factor
Yet it leaves ever lasting impression
I write the poems with true confession
She is an every inch poem with message
If you look at her closed eyes in page
You may sum up with final note
Poems and poets certainly relate

Eversleeping
Once I travelled 7 seas to find my love
And once I sang 700 songs
Well, maybe I still have to walk 7000 miles
Until I find the one that I belong
I will rest my head side by side
To the one that stays in the night
I will lose my breath in my last words of sorrow
And whatever comes will come soon
Dying I will pray to the moon
That there once will be a better tomorrow
Once I crossed 7 rivers to find my love
And once, for 7 years, I forgot my name
Well, if I have to I will die 7 deaths just to lie
In the arms of my eversleeping aim
I will rest my head side by side
To the one that stays in the night
I will lose my breath in my last words of sorrow
And whatever comes will come soon
Dying I will pray to the moon
That there once will be a better tomorrow (x2)
I dreamt last night that he came to me
He said: "My love, why do you cry?"
For now it won't be long any more
Until in my cold grave we will lie
Until in my cold grave we will lie

In my little country, faraway from you
It is two o’clock in the morning
And you are not asleep yet
Disturbed you confessed
About something
This love
This love that has disappointed you
To my surprise
You are in a mood for a fight
You ask
Is it you
Is it really you hidden?
Buried beneath my words
You ask me to tell you honestly
We are friends
We do not intend to hurt
I tell you then it is not you
It is never you it will never be you
Now sleep
It is getting very late
You need to rest you are in pain
You need to dream all the sweetest dreams
In my country it is still an afternoon
We have coffee
The sun begins to set
There is no anger here there is no disappointment
About love or any other feeling
I am reminded though
Again I have to tell you
That which angers you has finally conquered you.
Dinner is served, faraway you must be asleep.
I do not dine alone. We still have jokes to tell.
Some more poems to write, this time, perhaps sadder.
