Living Alone
does it follow that
living alone makes you
die for us?
or leaving alone?
does goodbye mean
death to friendship?
there are other modes
terms of endearment
hello for instance.

Happy Friendship Day,2011
Good friendship is important in earthly life
True friendship is a rare find, lasting a life-time
Friendship is supportive, wholesome and priceless
Friendship must grow but is difficult to keep.
Friendship affords joy, solace and distraction
Friendship gives a better meaning to life
Friendship may deliver what parents sometimes fail to
Friendship is valuable, useful and advantageous.
Friendship makes the world a better place to live
Friendship makes living worthwhile, loveable and liveable
Friendship creates the right environs for sharing
The basis of good friendship is selfless, dedicated love of a special kind.

Breathe In Emotion
Something here
Something is cold and you know
To speak now is to lie
Sad mistake
Maybe its mine but I know
You wake up with strangers
Is this love
If I said goodbye there would be
No-one to listen
I could ask
How do you feel? but I know
You breathe in emotion
So goodbye
I cant play anymore
So goodbye
Im off the friendship line
So goodbye
Im breathing emotion like some hero
Breathe in emotion
I could cry
Nothing is wrong but you know
I dont believe it
I could write
Words on a page but I know
Love doesnt live here
Look at me
Look at my eyes and youll know
Everythings over
This is me
This is my heart and you know
I breathe in emotion
So goodbye
I cant play anymore
So goodbye
Im off the friendship line
So goodbye
Im breathing emotion like some hero
Breathe in emotion
So goodbye
I cant play anymore
So goodbye
Im off the friendship line
So goodbye
Im breathing emotion like some hero
So goodbye
I cant play anymore
So goodbye
Im off the friendship line
So goodbye
Im breathing emotion like some hero
So goodbye
I cant play anymore
So goodbye
Im off the friendship line
So goodbye
Im breathing emotion like some hero

Follow Me Follow
See how they go on the wings of a shiny bird
And the resons for them leaving is not easy
Follow me follow
Follow me too far away
Follow me follow
Where you will go
See how they go on the wings of a shiny bird
And theyll all be friends together now theyre leaving
See how they try to be hap-py when theyre leaving home
But the captain of the shinybird wont wait now
Follow me follow
Follow me too far away
Follow me follow
Where you will go
See how they go on the wings of a shiny bird
And the resons for them leaving is not easy
Follow me follow
Follow me too far away
Follow me follow
Where you will go

Ill Follow You
Why do we try so hard
What makes us give our all
And why do we aspire
To reach the height
When were not ready
To take the fall
What makes us so unkind
And why must we desire
And take what we want
Why must we be the
Only ones who receive
Lord wont you take me
Take me and break me
Burn me with your fire
Our love that will take me
Take me and make me
Ill be
I will follow you
Why is it that now Im yours
Everything seems so bright
And why is it now I can
Live for each day
Without any fear of the night
Lord since I met you
I cant get you
Out of my head
My life was so lonely
Cos I was only
Living for myself
Our love
I will follow you
Chorus
Ill follow you
My days are right
Ill follow you
It seems so right
Ill follow you
Bad days are gone
Ill follow you

Goodbye Again
(john denver)
Its five oclock this morning and the sun is on the rise
Theres frosting on the window pane and sorrow in your eyes
The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone
You slowly turn away from me and tears begin to come
And its
Goodbye again, Im sorry to be leaving you
Goodbye again, cause if you didnt know
Its goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
Why do we always fight when I have to go?
It seems a shame to leave you now, the days are soft and warm
I long to lay me down again and hold you in my arms
I long to kiss the tears away and give you back your smile
But other voices beckon me and for a little while
Its
Goodbye again, Im sorry to be leaving you
Goodbye again, cause if you didnt know
Its goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
Why do we always fight when I have to go?
I have to go and see some friends of mine, and some that I dont know
And some who arent familiar with my name
Its something thats inside of me, not hard to understand
Its anyone who will listen to me sing
But if your arms are empty now, then who am I to blame
You think if I was always here our love would be the same
But as it is, the time we have is worth the time alone
And lying by your side, the greatest peace Ive ever known
But its
Goodbye again, Im sorry to be leaving you
Goodbye again, cause if you didnt know
Its goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
Why do we always fight when I have to go?

Death, The Lover
By which name Should I call you,
O, Death?
The shadow man, or the king of the dark
Realm?
I have, on you my full honest
Faith,
Since I heard of your enormous
Fame.
You too follow my every
Footstep,
Now, I have made friendship with
Fate!
My sobs and sighs get their
Shape.
I don't anymore them
Hate;
Take me in your masculine
Arms,
Love me as you only can
Tame,
My burning lust for earthly
Terms...
I shall give you back the
Same! !
I cherish to see your masked
Face!
Give on my lips your immortal
Kiss;
O, Death! Hold me in your tight
Embrace,
In your wide chest let me lie in
Peace! !

Gonna Get Back Home Somehow
(words & music by doc pomus - mort shuman)
Hear that old train whistle
Howling in the night
If that flyers southbound
Everything will be all right
Im leaving now, leaving now, leaving now,
Im gonna get back home somehow
Dont nobody tell me
Babys been untrue
If shes been unfaithful
I dont know what Ill do
Im leaving now, leaving now, leaving now
Im gonna get back home somehow
Never thought that I could miss her so
I never thought I could , now I know
The sound of the old train whistle
Makes me want to cry
Reminds me of that lonely feeling
When I said goodbye
Im leaving now, leaving now, leaving now
Im gonna get back home somehow

Death Waits For No One
Death waits for no one
But death where is your sting?
Even though we completely understand the reasons why,
death continues to silence us all, as we sigh.
Yes death creeps in as moments passes by,
unenviable, sadly it comes,
unexpectedly it waits for no one,
not even I.
“come follow me, ”
as I once read on a tomb
“come follow me to a place where your tracts are
Treading after me, is where you will end up to be.
And as death suddenly drenches the living in a deep gaze,
remember to use your abilities to laugh, smile, love
and above all praise.
For even though Satin through Adam and Eve
locked us up In chains,
God through Jesus ransom sacrifice released our pains.
Yes, death waits for no one, but death where is your sting?
“Where is your sting? ”
As we the living praise Jah,
in death we will silently wait for our King! .

One More Time
Tell me one more time as I hold your hand, that you dont love me
Tell me one more time as teardrops start to fall
Shout it to me and Ill shout it to the skies above me
That there was nothing after all
Baby, baby, tell me that you never wanted my loving
Baby, baby, tell me that you never, tell me, tell me,
One more time, one more time, say youre leaving, say goodbye
One more time, one more time, say youre leaving, say goodbye
Tell me one more time that we never had a thing in common
Tell me one more time as you turn and face the wall
Tell me I should know you were never my kind of woman
Tell me we were fools to fall
Baby, baby, tell me that you never wanted my loving
Baby, baby, tell me that you never, tell me, tell me,
One more time, one more time, say youre leaving, say goodbye
One more time, one more time, say youre leaving, say goodbye
Tell me one more time your tears are only sad confusion
Tell me its just been so long and that is all
Tell me one more time that love was only my illusion
You never answered to my call
Baby, baby, tell me that you never wanted my loving
Baby, baby, tell me that you never, tell me, tell me,
One more time, one more time, say youre leaving, say goodbye
One more time, one more time, say youre leaving, say goodbye

The Endearment Past
I have tried to endeavour
Some endurable facts.
But never forgot a relevant
Laud of the endearment past
The tendency of some glee moments
Of such cruel bars, but never forgot
A relevant of endearment past!
The paroxysm of the cruel newt
And the wasted time of waster,
A scrawl book of school,
Like I was companionless as a
New comer of different birth.
But never forgot a relevant
Brunt of the endearment past.
I've had a group of some human beings
Without battered souls,
The bond of changing of those;
Battered situations……………
Has killed me at once.
It is my hard bitten promise!
I never forgot the relevant of
The endearment past.

Tomorrow
If you would noly treat me right
I'd stay here by your side
But I am down to my last cry
So I'm leaving you goodbye
You turned away from opportunities
To sit and talk things through
But now when I say I'm leaving you
You have so much to prove
So long to all my pain
Good night to my heartache
Goodbye sorrow
I won't cry no more
I'm leaving tomorrow
Stop writing me sweet letters and
Calling me on the phone
We argued constantely when I saw you
Always left me in the cold
I made the choice to finally go
Cause I can't stand this pain
It's time for my last tear to fall
And me to smile again
Sorrows and heartache goodbye
I'm leaving you
Don't wanna meet again
Has got to be the end
The end
The sun will finally shine on me
And clouds will drift away
There's something that's in store in me
That's my brighter day
Now I just can't wait
Tomorrow's too late
I'm leaving you today

Virginal Soul
She mystically changes
Like night from day;
And in the instance
Of her sashay sway
Moving into another view,
I cannot recognize her face.
There were times in the past
When I could have lost my mind
Simply gazing into her eyes
But now they transport me to a different universe
Without any concept of time.
Everything about her is dark and mysterious
Like trying to solve a riddle in the rain
While the world vanishes with history
Leaving only spiritual destiny to obtain.
Her skin becomes pale and ghostlike
But somehow it makes her even more handsome;
How was I not alerted to follow
This virginal soul centuries before?

Loneliness As A Concoction...
to escape
asphyxiation
i open
a lot of windows
and wear
my self-made
wings
i do not land
i skip skies
drift on clouds
nine to ten
i try burning my
skin with the
sun's terms of
endearment
it will be a whole
day affair
i speak to no one
and no one speaks to me
so many
so many words trickle like rain
in my hair
thoughts wet me all over
like flood on the grasslands
when the day is over
i go back to my room and
lay my self on the floors
wings hang on the ceiling
i repeat this all day
and i am not destroyed
the separation makes me live
loneliness is my bread

Never Can Say Goodbye
I never can say goodbye
No, no, no i, I never can say goodbye
Every time I think Ive had enough
And start heading for the door
Theres a very strange vibration
Kissing me right to the core or pericing me right to the core
It says turn around you fool,
You know you love him more
And more
Tell me why is it so?
Dont wanna let you go
I never can say goodbye boy
Ooh ooh baby I never can say goodbye
No no no no no no
Ooh hey I never can say goodbye, boy
Ooh ooh baby
I never can say goodbye
[no no no no no no] hey
I never can say goodbye [never say goodbye, boy]
Oh no, no, no i, I never can say goodbye
[never say goodbye, boy]
I keep thinking that our problems soon are all gonna work
Out
But theres that same unhappy feeling,
Theres that anguish, theres that doubt
Its that same old dizzy hangup
I cant do with you or without or youve had with you all your life
Tell me why is it so? I dont wanna let you go
I never can say goodbye boy, ooh baby
I never can say goodbye, no no no no no no
Hey I never can say goodbye boy,ooh baby
I never can say goodbye, no no no no no no
I never can say goodbye, boy,
I never can say goodbye, no no no no no no
I never can say goodbye, boy
I never can say goodbye, no no no no no no
[never can say goodbye, boy]
[never can say goodbye, boy]
I never can say goodbye, boy
I never can say goodbye, no no no no no no
I never can say goodbye, boy
I never can say goodbye, no no no no no no
Ooh ooh ooh hey I never can say goodbye, boy
No no no baby hey never can say goodbye
No no no no please, dont make me say goodbye
Hey I will never say goodbye, no baby
Oh please dont leave me, no no no no
Hey oh I cant say goodbye, boy
No no no baby
Oh please dont oooh, baby

Kyutkyut
he meets me at the door
of this empty house
and makes a lot of noise
his terms of endearment
his mode of affection
i hear him like saying
'hello daddy! happy father's day! '
he licks my ears
and rubs his small body on my feet
and my wife, his mommy
takes him into her arms rocking him
our new baby, Kyutkyut
*our new puppy,
(we're childless for 12 years)
arf! arf! arf! arf! arf! (bark and bark little puppy)
come to daddy and mommy

Early Works - Life
Life has its success
and its upsets;
life has its ups and downs
that’s what makes the world go round.
Life is a turmoil
of our own tribulations,
life and death are one,
which our lives revolve around.
Life for some is restless
with no stop in sight
with something burning within
that makes them follow
like a moth follows light.
Life with this turmoil
is a branch of our own transition
with the death of a partner
we follow with no hesitation.
With the last flickering light of life,
we follow our cord
until the day of judgements
when we pay homage to the lord.

A Bad Way Of Saying Goodbye
(trace adkins/sam hogin/jim mcbride)
You left without saying I love you
And that makes three days in a row
Now that youre tired of pretending
Its time that I let you know
I dont disagree with your feelings
We both need to find a new life
But this aint the way we should end it
Its a bad way of saying goodbye
There must be a better way of sayin' its over
Where nobody walks away with tears in their eyes
When you stay til regret is all you have left
Thats a bad way of saying goodbye
When I think of you Ill remember
How you looked at me when we met
But the way that youre looking at me now
Ill do my best to forget
Its not your fault, but its not mine
We both made mistakes though we tried
So leaving without syaing Im sorry
Is a bad way of saying goodbye
There must be a better way of saying its over
Where nobody walks away with tears in their eyes
When you stay til regret is all you have left
Thats a bad way of saying goodbye
Thats a bad way of saying goodbye

A Friendship Is But A Flower
A friendship is but a flower
Growing out in Gods garden
Helping out the fellow man
Not knowing should they get a pardon
A friendship is but a flower
Waiting to bloom in the spring
Waiting with a helping hand or an ear
To help or listen to most any ol thing
A friendship is but a flower
That God lends to us for a while
To help us along our way
And give us a reason for a smile
A friendship is but a flower
Leaving impressions on our hearts
Never knowing when it might end
But, always happy to see it start
A friendship is but a flower
Sent with guidance from above
The friendship must be based on trust
But, like the flower, it's started with Gods love
Friendship is but a flower
Sent down for all of us to share
So pass on your bit of friendship
Show someone just how much you care
A friendship is but a flower
And this friendship I pass on to you
So please take my flower and friendship
So you can pass it on to others too
