The Questions In My Mind....

i send my my hands
free, so many birds in air

they are questions
for you to answer, yet you

whom my heart claims a rock
for friends, where they can lay their bodies

and rest, have chosen silence,
and i look at you, with so much

understanding, knowing that you have
chosen the comfort of your own

safety, i nod, i may agree
that your chosen side shall give you

the best for the meantime that i bleed,
and now, i write upon a stone the names

of my true friends. It is you silence that
has become stone and sling for the birds

that i have set free from my hands.
They fall one by one, all dead.

Defiant Pattern

you feel betrayed
sometimes

stones like us
some
have turned into birds

behold the clouds
they were once
like us
too

the dropp of rain
comes to you in a dream as
an ocean

black turns gold before
your eyes

the jinx has become
famous Lady Luck

you ask so many questions
they get mad

you get punished for
such a
philosophical misbehavior

defiant pattern
bad to see and must not be
published

you feel betrayed
by a storm of biases

there is no place for you
and so

you do not turn into a bird
or cloud
or ocean

you remain as stone
deep under

you live in silence
apart from the world of birds
and skies

and oceans
you are stone

perfect in your silence
undiscovered gem

how will you ever
discover that stone in you

glittering in silence
depths of black

strata of wisdom
no one knows

they have taken nothing
from you
you have buried your mouth
and eyes

and ears in that blackness of
your chosen silence

defiant pattern
beautiful secret underneath
the

earth of layers of
silence

I Have Chosen

I have chosen your face to see,
the face that always beckons me
to come alive and recognize
all the desire inside your eyes.

I have chosen your hands to be
the hands I'll always want on me.
I come alive with every touch.
These hands have come to mean so much.

I have chosen your heart, my love
to be the heart that is just made of
all the beats that say to me
'I am beating just for thee.'

And all my choices in this life I live
have gifted me and will always give
pleasures beyond the realm of real
because of how they make me feel.

Decisions Made

my future
in one decision
i have set it in stone
in one swift move
i made my path known
after fear of not knowing
of where i should be
i came to the knowing
that finally i'm free
free to have chosen my way
and it be MY way
and MY future
that i decided today

Holy War

If you will adore me
Bow before me and praise my name
If you place no god before me
Then all I have is yours to claim
And if God is in the heavens
Why did God let children die
If you don't ask these questions
There is no reasons why
We are chosen
We are one
We are frightened of no one
And no one will win this war
This is the way
This is the law
All the visions shown before you
All the kingdoms and the thrones
All are yours if you bow before me and adore me
All this you can own
There are those that will go to Heaven
There are those that will never win
No one knows what will happen
There are those that turn to sin
We are chosen
We are one
We are frightened of no one
And no one will win this war
This is the way
This is the law
(Solo)
We are chosen
We are one
We are frightened of no one
And no one will win this war
This is the way
This is the law
We are chosen
The devil is in hell with the demons
This is the Holy War
They lead us to our temptation
Lead us, take our souls
There is no evil in salvation
There is evil in us all
Just as Satan tempted Jesus
And Jesus slips and falls
He is a station on The Cross now
He is dying to save us all
We are chosen
We are one
We are frightened of no one
And no one will win this war
This is the way
This is the law
We are chosen
We are one
We are frightened of no one
And no one will win this war
This is the way
This is the law
We are chosen
We are one
We are frightened of no one
And no one will win this war
This is the way-

Hands Of Death (Burn Baby Burn) (feat. Alice Cooper)

? sometimes? the wicked ones
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? the mortal sting
I am the only one
? across the dreary plane?
? i am watching?
Across the crucified
So few are chosen
I do not die
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? horrified
And seat yourself a ride
Get out of your denial
A genius of the night
? and I am watching?
Across the crucified
So few are chosen
I do not die
In the hands of death
Burn baby burn
In the hands of death
Burn baby burn
In the hands of death
Burn baby burn
They creep and crawl inside
Into the heart of cold
So dead and paralyzed
Perversion of the soul
? i am watching?
Across the crucified
So few are chosen
I do not die
In the hands of death
Burn baby burn
In the hands of death
Burn baby burn
In the hands of death

The Stone That You Love

you are unique
for having loved a stone

how did the stone
entice you?
are you seduced by
its silence?
are you tempted by
its solitude?

you take the pain
poking the stone to
your heart
and you bleed
you rub the stone
in the skin of your body
hoping that someday
the stone may have
feelings and
love you

but this is all useless
the stone is a stone is a stone
and there is no love
in its blank stare
there is no softness in its
belly

i ponder upon this
and come to think of it
you and the stone
are the same
on this hardheadedness
this futility
this numbness
this suffering without end

the stone can never give
a part of its cracks
it will never part with its
dust

C-ya!

Do you think for one moment,
I would stay to tolerate your mess?
Did you think my patience would last forever?
And I would let you test me without protest.

Did you think my understanding,
Was boundless for you to disrespect?
Do you really believe I was foolish enough,
To let you walk over me,
With an emphasis placed on every step?

You have chosen this way to relate.
I have chosen to exercise my own fate.
To listen and learn and know when to escape.
And you I have chosen to witness...
This exit from you that I make.
Now!

You have used up all my 'see-you-laters'...
For an exit I have chosen to do right now!

C-ya!
For you there are no 'laters' left!
They are gone.
Just as if you did not exist.

The Comfort Of Silence

silence is, and will always be,
comfortable, like a stone, mute to the
changes of the season, and no matter
who takes it, a child or an old man,
the stone keeps the secrets
of their wrongdoings.

the comfort of silence
to the wrongdoer, makes the stone,
the most trusted friend,
no one talks inside the hardness
even if it is broken, into shattered pieces
the stone carries the silence
it is numbed by the centuries
of human oppression.

Remember The Silence

Feeling so alone
Complexion white as stone
Looking for a getaway
Broken by the strain
And constant rearrangement
Anything is possible
Yeah
Anything is possible
Yeah
Loosing control of my soul (song?) but you don't know
Help me breathe (bleed?)
Set me free
Loosing control of my soul (song?) but you don't know
Help me breathe (bleed?)
Set me free
Loosing all effect
Cause feelings in descent
Conscious of deception
A bruise you keep inside
A smile that tries to hide
Anything is possible
Yeah
Loosing control of my soul (song?) but you don't know
Help me breathe (bleed?)
Set me free
Loosing control of my soul (song?) but you don't know
Help me breathe (bleed?)
Set me free
Yeah
Silence
Silence

Many Are Called

Many are called, dear heart, to happiness,
But few are chosen, even for a wild short year.
Love calls us from our sleep, and we make stress
To rise and greet him in a world austere
With a sweet dawn, while blithe as chanticleer
He carols his brave message, and we loosen
The shutters of our grief to find him near.
Many are called by Love, but few are chosen.

Love's voice is truth. He speaks his messages
In tones we dare not doubt, and we give ear
As to a prophet of our wilderness,
The glorious lord of a new hemisphere.
And we run, we too, glorious, without fear,
Like children on bright ice too thinly frozen,
Gay to our doom. Ah me! The plunge was sheer.
Many are called by Love, but few are chosen.

Love chooses whom he will to ban or bless.
My fate was a wild shepherd's on the drear
Plains of wan hope, whose one--time shepherdess
Was lost even in the winning, and whose cheer
Has since been of the yellow leaf and sere,
(Scorned is the rose--tree Time finds no last rose on)
And silence claims him and the end is near.
Many are called by Love, but few are chosen.

Queen of my life! I do not love you less
Because you choose not me to cast your woes on.
It is enough for me you once said ``Yes.''
Many are called by Love, but few are chosen.

Ease Appeases With a Bit of Tease

Assumptions you have held and chosen...
Know they must go.
Those assumptions you have held and chosen,
Know they must go.
Release them to go.

Relax!
Find that place,
Where you can go...
Within.
To bring outside of yourself,
A comfort shown to shine without end.

You seem to be hiding inside too much.
And not enough of you,
Is believed or known.
Those assumptions you have held and chosen,
Know they must go.
Release them to go.

Relax!
First impressions,
Aren't always the best to leave.
Especially when some expect magic...
Unnatural miracles and a tap dance,
Done comfortably.

Assumptions you have held and chosen...
Know they must go.
Those assumptions you have held and chosen,
Know they must go.
Release them to go.

Relax!
Just be you.
You will be surprise by how enchanting,
The unseen you can be,
To dazzle others unexpectedly.
When ease appeases with a bit of tease.

Those assumptions you have held and chosen,
Know they must go.
Release them to go.
Assumptions you have held and chosen...
Know they must go.
Those assumptions you have held and chosen,
Know they must go.
Release them to go.

And relax.
Know ease appeases with a bit of tease.
Just be you,
To dazzle others unexpectedly.

Assumptions you have held and chosen...
Know they must go.
Those assumptions you have held and chosen,
Know they must go.
Release them to go.
And...
Relax.
Know ease appeases with a bit of tease.

Dare To Dream

(paul begaud/vanessa corish/wayne tester)
I am my own believer
In my heart the reason
I will follow the light from within
Im not afraid of weakness
Im gonna taste the sweetness
Of the power not to give in
Oh I will see it through
I believe this is my moment of truth
Dare to dream
Dare to fly
Dare to be the ever chosen one to touch the sky
Dare to reach
Dare to rise
Find the strength to set my spirit free
Dare to dream
I will go the distance
Embrace resistance
I will lay my soul on the line
When the wait is over
And the hunger has spoken
If I give my all,i will shine
Oh I will see it through
I believe, this is my moment of truth
Dare to dream
Dare to fly
Dare to be the ever chosen one to touch the sky
Dare to reach
Dare to rise
Find the strength to set my spirit free
Dare to dream,oh
And the heart will shine like the sun
A million voices together as one
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe
Dare to dream
Dare to fly
Dare to be the ever chosen one to touch the sky
Dare to reach
Dare to rise
Find the strength to set my spirit free
Dare to dream
Dare to fly
Dare to be the ever chosen one to touch the sky
Dare to reach
Dare to rise
Find the strength to set my spirit free
(find the strength to set my spirit free)
Find the strength to do what I believe
(I believe)
Dare to dream
Dare to dream

X4

must we imagine
a place away from what our hands
have long held as home?

must we still dream of those
islands
with white sands and
exotic rainbow birds?

the feet have rooted and
our bodies are old trees

the fruits are teeming
and ripe for harvest
the migrating birds are
here to be catered

happiness flows here
like springs without winters
everything here is the
fun of summer times

on domestic dreams
sleep have i,
clipped wings, bubble
world
here is this chosen
earthly eternity

To The X Chromosome

if i will be made to choose
between you and the stone
i will choose the stone
for it will not make any difference at all.

if you replace it with a flower
i will choose the flower
i always wish that everything will simply be temporary
at wilting time i will be free
from your thorns and tendrils

if you offer me silence
i think i will accept it immediately
i like its simplicity i like its being a prelude
to something much higher

rest, could be, but think a little more,
i will give you a hint, the silence of the widower.

I'm Free

I'm free
as free as the birds
as free as the clouds
as free as the wind.

I'm free to sing
even if my voice
is not like the voice of an angel
I'm free to dance
even if I'm out of the rhythm
I'm free to cry
even if it means to worry you
I'm free to laugh
even if my heart is aching
I'm free to love
even if it will only hurt me
I'm free to dream
even if I cannot reach it.

I'm free
as free as the birds
as free as the clouds
as free as the wind.

I'm free to be happy
even if I'm in the middle of crisis
I'm free to live
even if it will then
end in dying.

I'm free
as free as the birds
as free as the clouds
as free as the wind.

I'm free...
I'm free!

Bible in Poetry: Gospel of St. Peter 1 (Chapter 2)

So, rid yourselves of malice, guile,
Hypocrisy, slander, envy;
Like newborns crave for spiritual milk,
That’s pure and grow in salvation,
Now that, you’ve tasted, Lord is good!

The Living Stone and a Chosen People:

As you embrace the living Stone that’s Him-
Men-rejected, God-chosen and precious,
You too are being made a house,
Of holy priesthood, spiritual,
To offer sacrifices liked by God,
The Father, through His Son, Jesus,
For, Scripture says,

To those who do believe:
‘Behold, I lay a stone in Zion, then,
A chosen and most-precious cornerstone,
And whoev’r trusts in Him,
Will ne’er be put to shame! ’

To those who don’t believe:
‘The stone rejected by the builders then,
Has turned to be just a capstone,
A stone that makes men to stumble,
A rock that makes some men to fall;
They stumble for disobedience
Of word, for which they were destined! ’

‘For royal priesthood, you’re chosen,
A holy nation loved by God,
To praise Him who had called you out
Of darkness, to His lit abode.
Once not people but now people of God,
Once not shown mercy but now you have been! ’

‘I urge you therefore, my dear friends,
As strangers, aliens in this world,
To stay away from sin’s desires,
That war against your soul on earth;
Among the pagans, live good lives,
So that, although, they accuse you,
But seeing your good deeds of life,
They glorify God when He comes! ’

Submission to Rulers and Masters:

‘Submit yourselves to higher-ups
Among men for the sake of God,
To supreme ones like kings and queens,
Or governors who’re sent by them,
To punish wrong-doers on earth,
And commend those who do aright.’

‘’Tis will of God by doing good,
You silence talk of foolish men,
You live afree but don’t misuse,
Your freedom to hide your evil,
Live like a servant true of God.
Show proper respect to brethren,
Love brotherhood of believers;
Honor the king but fear the Lord! ’

‘As slaves, submit to masters all,
Both good and bad; give due respect,
For, if a man should bear his pain
Of unjust suffering for God,
It’s most commendable to Him.’

‘If you suffer for doing wrong,
Endure the beating for ’tis fair;
But if you suffer for your good deeds,
Endure it for the love of God;
To this end you were called because
Christ suffered for your sake and wished,
You follow Him in his foot-steps! ’

Yet, Christ sinned not of any kind
And no deceit came from His mouth,
And when they hurled insults at Him,
He ne’er retaliated at all,
Nor threatened them, who caused Him pain,
And suffered without reason then.

He entrusted to Him, the Judge,
Instead, who judges most fairly,
He bore our sins on His body,
While nailed upon the wooden tree,
So that we might die for our sins,
And live for righteousness always,
For by His wounds, you were all healed,
And you were like sheep gone astray,
But now returned to Good Shepherd-
One overseer of all your souls! ’
