When I Begin To Read Poetry
when love gazes at me
and when i expect its pleasures
i surrender my crown
and bow upon its
whims
& caprices
lots of pains here and there
a little of bliss
some shares of
ecstasies
subject to the frailness of time
the vulnerability of
change
the temporariness of
thrills
a firecracker
of giggles
that in seconds
fade
in the darkness
i am tired of love
and its teases
got lots of scars
that i can never
be proud of
through the folds of
time
in this gamble i am
always bound to
lose with lots
of sores
in these lovely wars
i am always
left out
loveless upon the
twisted arms
of my fate
and so i shift to books
venture in politics and
hide in the quick blankets
of my philosophies
' i am safe' i proclaim
but not until
i see you again
'here comes my foolish heart! '
i wish i can
rewrite feelings
'but i cannot'
i look for that page
that shall make me
dumb again
that which does not make
me understand
even erase
the basic foundation of
my being
i run to poetry
asking for help
hide behind her skirt
sit down there
with her
and then
i begin to read.

What did you expect?
No time, no time for you.
I got no time, baby,
Got lots of better things to do.
Runnin from the risin heat
To find a place to hide,
The grass is always greener
Growin on the other side.
No time, no time for you
I got no time, baby,
Got lots of better things to do.

Opportunities
I've got the brains, you've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
You've got the brawn, i've got the brains
Let's make lots of -
I've had enough of scheming and messing around with jerks
My car is parked outside, i'm afraid it doesn't work
I'm looking for a partner, someone who gets things fixed
Ask yourself this question: do you want to be rich?
I've got the brains, you've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
You've got the brawn, i've got the brains
Let's make lots of money
You can tell i'm educated, i studied at the sorbonne
Doctored in mathematics, i could have been a don
I can program a computer, choose the perfect time
If you've got the inclination, i have got the crime
Oh, there's a lot of opportunities
If you know when to take them, you know?
There's a lot of opportunities
If there aren't, you can make them
Make or break them
I've got the brains, you've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
Let's make lots of -
(aahhhhh) money
(aahhhhh)
(aahhhhh - di du da di da bu di ba)
You can see i'm single-minded, i know what i could be
How'd you feel about it, come and take a walk with me?
I'm looking for a partner, regardless of expense
Think about it seriously, you know, it makes sense
Let's (got the brains)
Make (got the looks)
Let's make lots of money (oohh money)
(let's) you've got the brawn
(make) i've got the brains
Let's make lots of money (oohh money)
I've got the brains (got the brains)
You've got the looks (got the looks)
Let's make lots of money (oohh money)

Lots Of Times
Lots of times we laugh and joke
And make funny faces
And lots of time we write notes
Telling each other hello
Lots of times we hung out
And made up funny games
And lots of times we stood together
And defended our beliefs
Lots of times I think of you
And how you're my best friend
And lots of times I know
That that will never end.
She Is Electric
Shes electric
Shes in a family full of eccentrics
She done things I never expected
And I need more time
Shes got a sister
And God only knows how Ive missed her
On the palm of her hand is a blister
And I need more time
And I want you to know
Ive got my mind made up now
But I need more time
And I want you to say
Do you know what Im saying?
But I need more ....
Coz Ill be you and youll be me
Theres lots and lots for us to see
Theres lots and lots for us to do
She is electric, can I be electric too?
Shes got a brother
We dont get on with one another
But I quite fancy her mother
And I think that she likes me
Shes got a cousin
In fact shes got bout a dozen
Shes got one in the oven
But its nothing to do with me
And I want you to know
Ive got my mind made up now
But I need more time
And I want you to say
Do you know what Im saying?
But I need more ....
Coz Ill be you and youll be me
Theres lots and lots for us to see
Theres lots and lots for us to do
She is electric, can I be electric too?

Seasons too change
Seasons too change
It is divine theory
Love end in faded memory
You get not what is desired
Whole life is in question and makes you tired
As season changes so the human
Life with animal to same like man and woman
Basic instinct to enjoy and desert
Known fact but got to accept and assert
As lots of worries and problems descend
Our anxieties grow more and demand
We make desperate bid and powerful drive
Try to lay hand on every thing and survive
We take birth alright
But die soon with all kinds of fight
We have come on this beautiful land
But can’t make it sure with lovely end
As desert booms with colorful flowers
The landscapes emerge with rainy showers
There is impressive show and nicely appealed
Lots of natural secrets to be positively revealed
Even though there is basic instinct to complain
Yet we can not keep aloof or silently remain
We watch it helplessly yet enjoy it full
As we know its futility and possibility of looking dull
Sometimes we feel sadness for unknown fear
Think of likely loss of life and shockingly bear
Everybody is duty bound to depart from lovely land
Why not then befriend with all and love the sand
We may loose our trail in time to come
Yet all changes must be welcomed
What is more important than having fear?
The strength to withstand and nothing more to hear
We are part and parcel of whole universe
One goes on or before time and another enters
Everything is set and known to all
There is rise for everything and imminent fall

For Your Feeling's Will Someday fade
How you tell me you love me
And yet I don't want to know
You tell me you always will
But my heart tells me no
I can't figure you out surely
You amaze me all the time
Yet you will grow tired of me
When you come across a new find
For Your Feelings Will Someday Fade
Perhaps I'm not use to this
After all love is but a game
With the right heart felt words
You eventually get your fame
I wont hear it I tell you now
My world is where I feel safe
To explore this love you speak
I feel the end would be a bitter fate
For Your Feelings Will Someday Fade
Lets just be grateful for now
And not go ahead and lose our way
We share many wonderful things
For your love will take all this away
It is best to enjoy what we have
Let love not make us some slave
I don't wish to share your emotion
For Your Feelings Will Someday Fade

Build
Clambering men in big bad boots
Dug up my den, dug up my roots
Treated us like plasticine town
They built us up and knocked us down
From meccano to legoland
Here they come with a brick in their hand
Men with heads filled up with sand
Its build
Its build a house where we can stay
Add a new bit everyday
Its build a road for us to cross
Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots
Whistling men in yellow vans
They can and drew us diagrams
Showed us how it all worked it out
And wrote it down in case of doubt
Slow, slow, quick, quick, quick
Its wall to wall and brick to brick
They work so fast it makes you sick
Its build
Its build a house where we can stay
Add a new bit everyday
Its build a road for us to cross
Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots
Its build
Down with sticks and up with bricks
In with boots and up with roots
Its in with suits and new recruits
Its build

Randomness Of Thoughts
it is a rush,
there is no time anymore,
been busy,
lots of books piling up to read,
lots of papers to write,
many people to please and pamper,
all pleasing tiger,
losing all teeth,
resigned
to the comforts of society's pleasures,
yet still has to keep on
doing
what is it?
no direction, this wind,
no wave, is this sea,
words without assuming any meaning,
flowing
water seeking its own
level, and
why are you following?
same here
same there
you &
I,
IN THIS VOID.

I can try
i can try to hide who i am
but whats the point my personality screams louder than a wolfs howl
i can try to be someone im not
thatll only happen if i was boiled in a pot
i can try to hide my feelings
but my emotions get the best of me
my heart tells me no
but my thoughts flow all about you
i can try atleast this time
because you stay on my mind
i can try to be yours and thers lots of reasons why

I Desire
Feelings of pain will fade away slowly
Why to cry?
Days are numbered
Love I want to
A sweet girl I want to love
Although, I have depressions
For a depressed person like me, finding love is so tough
So difficult it is to find love
Even though, without love it is impossible to live
Love, lots of love I desire
Dreaming I am now for a girl to love me
As now my reality is in front of the world
Nothing to hide, everything to express
Love, only love I will give.

Ease The Fever
No need talking
I cant see it
Someone set your heart on fire
Now shes gone and all she left is hurt
Lots of burning sweet desire
Chorus:
So let me ease the fever and erase the pain
Let me make a believer out of you again
Hold me close and let me love the tears away
Let me ease the fever and erase the pain
Let your tears fall on my shoulder
Let your arms around me tight
Yesterday is gone forever
Lets make tomorrow start tonight

Asking God
Something 'intentionally' done,
Can be forgiven.
It is hard.
The scars are there.
Although the wounds may not appear...
A 'forgetting' still lingers.
And the best remedy for disguising that?
Lots of prayer.
Lots of quiet time...
And asking God,
To carry that crap on His back!
He will!
He knows you are still,
A work-in-progress!

But It Makes Me Lots Of Money
Cigarette addiction kills people
But it makes me lots of money
It ruins their health
But it makes me lots of money
They cannot breathe properly
But it makes me lots of money
Their addiction causes them misery
But it makes me lots of money
A trillion cigarette butts pollute our earth daily
But it makes me lots of money
Cigarettes cause fires which burn many people to death
But it makes me lots of money
Parents buy cigarettes when their children need to eat
But it makes me lots of money
Cigarette smoke fills our bars and nightclubs, very unpleasant
But it makes me lots of money
Dirty ashtrays are disgusting
But it makes me lots of money
Why are you allowed to promote and sell such a disgusting product?
Because I've got lots of money

The Day Before I Die
There's such a lot of work to do, for such a troubled head!
I’m scribbling this against a book, with foolscap round, in bed.
It strikes me that I’ll scribble much in this way by and by,
And write my last lines so perchance the day before I die.
There’s lots of things to come and go, and I, in careless rhyme,
And drink and love (it wastes the most) have wasted lots of time.
There’s so much good work to be done it makes me sure that I
Will be the sorriest for my death, the day before I die.
But, lift me dear, for I am tired, and let me taste the wine—
And lay your cheek a little while on this lined cheek of mine.
I want to say I love you so—your patient love is why
I’ll have such little time, you know, the day before I die.

Little Kalyn
I met a little girl this week
A girl I've never seen,
Not in the flesh at any rate,
But she's a beauty queen.
Her hair is soft and silky
And tied back with two clips,
Her eyes are ocean blue and...
What a smile from those two lips!
I let her get to know me
Just as slowly as I could,
I wanted to make friends so much
With this my flesh and blood.
She looked me up and down a while
Pretending to be shy,
But gave a little grin when Daddy said,
'Grandpa says Hi.'
Then just as soon as ever
I was happy as could be:
Kalyn got to know me, and
Her first wave was to me!
She's doing lots of crawling now
She's picking up in speed,
Out upon manoeuvres, yes
She's growing like a weed;
Pulling up the furniture
And standing proud and strong,
Better move the ornaments now
Walking won't be long.
We did a lot of playing
Little Kalyn, Kev' and me,
Playing with balloons and such
We were a merry three;
Lots of knocking towers down
And lots of baby foolin',
Lots of laughs and silly games
And lots of sloppy droolin';
But how I'd love this little tot
Through all her mess and wailin'
If I were hers and she were mine
My darling little Kalyn.

Love Is Truth
Love is truth, love is whole, if you love me, I give you my soul.
If it isn't meant to be, don't hesitate, you must live free, leave it to fate.
If you're seeking love, don't look straight, look beyond and above, you will find someone great.
I'm unable to understand, why I am so content, and at the same time, completely tormented.
When you are not near me, or in my arms, I start to feel pain, and become alarmed.
Are you alright, are you in pain, all I can think about, is keeping you from harms way.
There is so much left to learn, but so little left to do, You have fixed my heart, but all along you knew.
That I was in pain, I have to choose, as I have everything to gain, and nothing to lose.
You were all I ever wished, when I was thinking about you. I meant every word, when I said that love is true.
It's just not the same, without you in my arms, I keep repeating your name, and think of how you have been harmed.
If I could erase my past, and begin anew, there would nothing I would change, as I just wanted to be with you.
This can't be it, when you say that you love me, and I felt hurt, because I couldn't see.
That you did love me, you meant it all, You were everything to me, and now I can hear your call.
My heart is mending slowly, all thanks to you, I cannot thank you enough, for your love through and through.
I love the way you laugh, and your beautiful eyes, I love the way you smile, as calming as the skies.
I care about you so, and new beginnings start here, I can't thank you enough, you have me now dear.

Let It Shine
Clap your hands, make a smile
Let me know you hear me
Stay a while, play with me
Long as you are near me
Way to go, straight I know
Love to hear your laughter
Without a care you are there
Together ever after
Me and you comin through
Its what we got together
Lay it down, make it work
No matter what the weather
We got lots of soul, lots of love
Without a thought of givin unselfishly
You and me all the love were given
See the light
Let it shi-i-i-ine
Let it shine
Down on me
Feeling good
Knew I wou-----ould
Ever since
You set me free

The Catholic church does, for some people, leave lots of scars. And I have to say I didn't come out smiling from my Catholic childhood. I had lots of problems, you know, lots of hang-ups. But you get over it and get on with life. Whatever was good, take that with you. Whatever was bad, get over it, get it out of your head, leave it behind. And that's what I think I did. I don't go to church very much any more, you know.
