Immortality
Lies of forever enwalls my vision
My vision of lucid illusions
Illusions of deluded memories
Useless memories of my visions
Inhibitions suppress my advances
My inhibitions are boundaries
Boundaries of real from fantasy
Fantasies of distorted reality
Forever is just a lie
For all is bound to die
We can never say ‘never'
Probabilities of possibilities won't err
My skeptical tongue tied
Strangled with this mad hope
Interlaced with immortality

Marriage is not easy
Have no illusions –
Sometimes you’ll question
Have no illusions –
You will find fault

This is marriage
Have no illusions –
You will work it out

Hardship brings strength

You are each other’s rock
Have no illusions –

Promoted and Religiously Defended
The look and feel of it...
Are illusions.
Those participating in exchange,
Are illusions.
Even the illusions themselves,
Can be concluded to be exclusively...
Illusions.
With or without perceptions needed.
And yet...
God is the exception of this conception.
And He, She or It,
Can not be seen at all.
Although we remain devoted.
To keep what isn't real in our lives,
Promoted and religiously defended.

Fantasy Girl
Lately I'm learnin'
That so many yearnings
Are never to be
Childhood illusions
Mearly delusions
Of a girl that I see
In my minds eye
I see clearly a vision of how it could be
Me and my fantasy girl
Hold on to me
Be my fantasy girl
Don't set me free
Now I've had my share
And sometimes I swear,
That I've had me enough
You end up in sorrow
Broken tomorrows
Love can be tough
But my minds eye
Sees a vision of true love,
And how it should be
Me and my fantasy girl
Hold on to me
Be my fantasy girl
Don't set me free
Be my fantasy
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I see clearly a vision of how it could be yeah,
Be my fantasy
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Be my fantasy girl
Hold on to me
You're my fantasy girl
Don't set me free
Be my fantasy girl
Hold on to me
You're my fantasy girl
Don't set me free yeah,
From this fantasy

Memories
I have nothing but memories of you and I,
I once cried out for you, once shed blood for you,
It didn’t bother or cared enough for you to see how much I truly cared for you,
When I go to the mall I have memories of how we first met,
When I enter the movies I have memories of you and I hold hands and watching a movie,
When I go to a certain spot I have memories of how you and I first kissed,
But this is nothing but memories of you,
When I sit out in the cold,
I told myself I won’t fall for you,
Yet I did,
I have fallen,
Fallen for you,
Everywhere I go I have fond memories of you,
Memories that just won’t fade away,
Memories that can not be erased,
Memories I shall forever keep,
The memories of you will help me out,
Memories of you will teach me a lesson,
A lesson I won’t forget,
The memories that you and I once shared will forever be locked away.

Dreams And Visions
Dreams;
Facts that keep flying away
From the paths of reality
Into the driveways of insanity
And there, they mock humanity
That pursues them for eternity
Then they lead us into depravity
But dreams are birds that flee from reality
Visions;
The strings that hold the future
And hang around in the paths of reality
Neither illusions nor misconceptions
Vision if fate in a nutshell
That holds our destiny transparent
And reveals all the current
That makes the energy of life.
Dreams fly, Visions stand the test of time

Unreal Reality
All that i see, seems so unreal to me,
Is it the truth or is it only fantasy,
Is it a dream or is it unreal reality?
All around me is such unreality,
Optical illusions as far as my eyes can see,
Is the whole thing a fake, or the ultimate reality?
That house is so big that it reaches right up to the clouds
It's got hundreds of windows, so the people inside can look out,
And they look down below and wonder what it's all about.
Look at that lady she got silver all over her face,
Is she a human being or a creature from outer space,
Is she authentic or phoney, i guess it's just a matter of taste.
Oh because they can feel it, it's gotta be the real thing,
Because they can touch it, it's gotta be reality.
If they say it's real, it's gotta be the real thing.
See that fella, looking all spick and span,
Is he a tailor's dummy or is he a real man,
Is he genuine, or straight off the assembly line.
All round me is such unreality,
Optical illusions as far as my eyes can see,
Is the whole thing a fake or the ultimate reality?
Is it a dream, or is it the real reality?

Things That Slip From Our Very Hands
water drips from our hands
no amount of cupping catches it
air escapes from our mouth
whatever lip closing you make
no matter what you do
memories slip like water like air
things precious friends so dear
love like diamonds
no one keeps them forever
the reality is in the cascading and losing and disappearing
i could have loved you more and keep you forever inside my heart
reality is not with us like air like water like memories evaporating
from our human senses
nothing lasts forever
the eternity you talk about when we kiss
the promises after love
we call these all lies
mystical mythical, that my love, my darling, is the truth.

Asthenia
Last night it came as a picture
With a good reason, a warning sign
This place is void of all passion
If you can imagine it's easy if you try
Believe me I failed this effort
I wrote a reminder this wasn't a vision
This time where are you Houston
Is somebody out there will somebody listen
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
I hope I won't forget you
My head is made up of memories
Most of them useless delusions
This room is bored of rehearsal
And sick of the boundaries
I miss you so much
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
This time I don't want to
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
I hope I won't forget you
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
This time I don't want to
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
I hope I won't forget you

You Are My Dilemma
I am afraid to fall asleep
For I will dream of you again,
But, by staying fully awake,
I can't avoid thinking about you...
In my desperate quest
To find the fountain of forgetfulness,
I found myself drowning instead
In a reservoir of sweet memories
Which keep me trapped
Between two worlds,
One of a naked reality
And the other of pure fantasy,
A real agony, described in simple words...
Now, here I am, alone
Trying to delineate the boundaries
Of my fragile destiny,
Singing the same old song
Because I still love you
And you are the only one
Behind all my poems...
(Dedicated to my missing Angel)

Forever With You
Our journey was started years ago,
Alone we walked in time so slow.
Filled with heartbreak our memories past,
The future is now with us at last.
Together we walk, no longer alone,
Forming paved roads from stepping stones.
Overcoming sadness from time before,
Together we walk through a new door.
Keep me in your heart as I will for you,
Our love is strong, pure, and true.
We cannot deny this passion we found,
Our love is connected, tied, and bound.
I will love you forever as you will love me,
My heart was locked up, but you had the key.
And yours I unlocked with a key of my own,
Together our love was released and shown.
Forever will we love, forever will we fly,
Forever will we have this love of you and I.
Forever will we laugh, forever will we cry,
Forever will we walk together side by side.

Hollywood, Bollywood –
what’s in a name?
illusions film illusions;
reality’s the frame…
But Hindus have the best seats
in real life’s picture-house:
resting in eternity,
watching all else pass..

Friends Forever
Maybe It wasn't forever
But forevers are hard to keep
The time we had togather
Was more then enough for me
For I'll hold on to those memories
Never to let them slip away
For memories can last forever
Even when we walked away
I guest it was for the better
The way things turned as they did
For friends we'll be forever
That can't be taken from me

Bleeding Still
Distorted vision
Through a clear glass
Rainbows bounce
Through cut crystal
Untouched by cloying black
That spreads through
Like a wild fire
Veins of red bleed out
Making butterfly wings
Stars descend
Angels freefalling
Embracing a dance with the devil
Vines with thorns
Tear through illusions of thought
Of freedom
Eyes of blue
Eyes unblinking
Stare at you as if dissecting
Warmth from the fire
Slowly gives up in the midst of snow
Drops make ripples through the once
Undisturbed water
Set in stone
Awating forever
Hearts bleed still

Memories
Memories of good times
Memories of bad times
Memories of our love
So many memories
Memories of us crying
Memories of us laughing
Memories of our commitment
So many memories
Memories of us hugging
Memories of us kissing
Memories of those late nights
So many memories
Memories of how we met
Memories of how you left
Memories of what you said
So many memories
Why did you leave me
with so many memories
Did you ever realize
that my memories are yours
Everything we did together
stays within our memories
I remember getting hurt
Do you hurt too
Let's make a new memory
that we can both share
Let's love again
in our memories

Death Has No Control, Love Has No Boundaries
Death has no control over the boundaries of love
(a special couple)
It will always and forever be,
as long as there is a heart in thee.
Visions of a loss, is all that one will
melancholy and constantly see.
Wherever the wide oceans
meet the blue vast sky.
Echoing memories will be a-glow,
That none cannot escape nor deny
As the weeping twin rivers
overflow down a desperate soul.
A question unspeakable
Is it really the hands of death that stole?
Or were it a hand picked
Bouquet from the angels from above?
To enter the gates of
Heaven and be showered with never ending love!

No Illusions
So let the rain fall on me
If its gotta be today its o.k.
And let the fire burn my ass
If its gotta be today its o.k.
Cause weve got no illusions
Cause weve got no illusions
Cause weve got no illusions
And let the water wash my brain
If its gotta be today its o.k.
And if the rivers will run dry
If they really want let them try
Cause weve got no illusions
Cause weve got no illusions, ohho
Cause weve got no illusions...

Stuck In A Dream
How do we quell the angering giant.
With a cradle and song to sleep.
Into a far away place we dream.
Visiting the pastures where it is always green.
Drinking from the magical stream.
A cool refreshing taste.
On the astral plane we do embrace.
In fantasies we do live.
If only for moment.
Before reality forsakes us.
Speaking in foreign tongues of their being no escapes.
What we see, what we know, oh how can this be.
Questioning the entire galaxy.
If for nothing else then reason.
To explain away the impossible painful memories.
A empty door to empty space.
Steps to retrace.
Following like lost little sheep.
Once the wool is gone, is it possible we might freeze?
A fear of who we are.
Capturing a burning star.
Only to find when you open your hand it is already gone.
It evaporated into thin air.
And as it gets ever thicker, they are images in the form vision we can see.
Or is it the mirage of destiny?
With choices as a infinite number of keys, is their a master?
One to unlock all.
Watching as leaves fall, how do know where they will land?
A formula of creation is at hand.
Patent pending, thieves waiting.
Through eye of the storm how far can we see?
Putting our arms up how far is it do we think we can reach?
And when you bring it back down, will it have changed?
Bleached clean of all the impurities.
Poison gone forever in our arms and hearts.
Of the possibilities to be forever stuck in this dream which one is it that you see?

Morning Glory
Written by jay kay and stuart zender
All of my visions were untrue
Till I had a vision of you
And untimely end for all
But it was only then, only then that I saw
Saw the morning glory.
Cant you take me there
Cant you take me there
Away from solloquies of sadness
And prophecies of pain for us all to see
I had a vision in my mind
I had a vision of peace
I had a vision of you

Memories
A Memory is one,
One that lasts forever,
A Memory is one,
One to treasure forever,
A Memory is one,
One you create with someone special,
A Memory is one,
One that you wont forget,
A Memory of you,
You the special one,
A Thousand Memories,
Is not worth a real you,
A Real you,
Is needed to make Real Memories!
My Love is not a Memory,
My love is True.

I had an experience... I can't prove it, I can't even explain it, but everything that I know as a human being, everything that I am tells me that it was real! I was given something wonderful, something that changed me forever... A vision of the universe that tells us, undeniably, how tiny, and insignificant and how ... rare, and precious we all are! A vision that tells us that we belong to something that is greater than ourselves, that we are not — that none of us — are alone! ... I wish I could share that. I wish, that everyone, if only for one moment, could feel that awe, and humility, and hope. But ... that continues to be my wish.
