If You Were The Breeze!

I see the light approaching,
The earth is rumbling
And the wind is too strong...

I know,
Your momentum is great,
My question left no traction
For equivocation...

Be swift,
If you must blow me away,
Remove me completely
From the ground's attachment...

But, if your breath is sweet,
Kiss me a thousand times
And I will raise a flag to honor
The breeze...

Answer Me, Love

Answer
I see the light approaching
The earth is rumbling
And the wind is too strong...

I know
Your momentum is great

Remove me completely
From the ground's attachment...

But, if your breath is sweet
Kiss me a thousand times
And I will raise a flag to honor
The breeze...

Sweet Dreams

Sweet Dreams
Date: August 11,2012

Do not suffer as I sleep
When ‘cross my lips, a stillness creeps
As I will pass this way again
I have not died, I'm here my friend
Whispers of a passing breeze
Will bring to life sweet memories
And butterflies that softly land
Will be as I, to kiss your hand
Sweet as berries from the vine
You'll recall these lips of mine
I have not gone away in death
I did not breathe my final breath
Deep in your heart I shall remain
A joyful spark, an endless flame
So do not grieve when I have gone
I would not leave your heart alone
Spare the tears and sad goodbyes
As, I'll be here, when you close your eyes

A Love's Return

Honesty is the best gift
Anyone can give on Earth!
I have nothing more
Than honesty
To give you totally!
From the bottom of my heart
I loved you passionately yesterday
And I still do so today!

Distance and loneliness
Became our common destiny
When time passes by rapidly
And the furious fire
That once existed in us
Turned into sadden ashes
Spread all over by the wind!
Only sweet memories remain
Of those golden years
We happily spent together!

Now, we can rebuilt
Over the same dusty ground
A more solid structure,
Stronger than ever
By learning from those
Silly mistakes we made yesterday!
Learn to fall in love again
With one another
Embedded with the same
Or more intensity
Of those golden years!

I have never left
From your now barren heart,
To all your friends
You have confessed
A thousand times
And likewise,
You should know
That you still vividly live
Within my heart and mind!
In my dreams you are trapped
Every single night!
The proof of my great love for you
Is clearly shown
In every one of my poems!
Now, you have a decision to make
If you want to come back to me!

Like A Butterfly

Who are you that hold me up
When I am weak?
I think that you are a tree
And I am the wind
That blows through your branches
Tingling when touched...

Your leaves soften the breeze
That knows no relief
From the ceaseless momentum
Of life that began
Like a wafting butterfly
Sailing in the sky!

Ride On The Wind... Forever...

I Want To Ride On The Wind… Forever
I Want To Ride Over Land and Sea
I Want To Ride on The Wind… Forever
… and I Want You Riding With Me…

I Want To Ride On The Wind Over Mountains
And Touch The Sky, So Blue
Then Raise Oceans, Like Sparkling Fountains
And Splash Through Water, Kissing You

I Want To Ride On The Wind… Hold Its Mane
Ride The Wind… Wild and Free
For The Wind – Will Never Be Tame…
So Hold On Tight and Just… Breathe…

… Ride The Wind – Let It Begin – Ride The Wind
Ride The Wind – Breathe It In – Ride The Wind
Ride The Wind – Blow Again – Ride The Wind
Ride The Wind – Raise The Wind – Ride The Wind!

I Want To Ride On The Wind – In The Moonlight
I Want To Ride On The Wind – In The Clouds
And Wave To The Wings of Eagles in Flight
… then Float like Snow – Dancing Down

I Want To Ride On The Wind Forever
I Want To Ride and Rush-Up Rainbow-Stairs
I Want To Ride On The Wind – Forever
For Your Sweet-Breath Beckons Me… Everywhere

Priceless Discovery!

Barely conscious
Or hardly caring which way
I face the World,
I took a border step,
Traveling steadily
Against the furious wind
That was sometimes too strong
And so cold it mumbled my senses
Until I felt myself
Completely turned inside out...

I tried to keep the direction
That I have set for
So that somehow,
I will arrive somewhere
Knowing that this path
I have followed faithfully
Has brought me to a state of mind
Where I have proudly
Become myself...

A Singing Soul

The heart desires attachment
And solitude for the soul
Belonging to no other-yet
By oneself-life is unknown...

The soul has need to believe
Just as the heart requires love
Which must become a primary goal
To justify a merry existence...

You and I are here as a living proof
That we were made of external day
To be molded into truth
And then, by the wind, carried away...

Now, the difference between
The real and imaginary
Becomes nearly the same
Like life and death
Within a world of uncertainties...
Only you and a soul-mate
Can make that difference
Completely disappear!

Storming Moments

Your name is Sandy
The say you are so strong
But no sweet like a candy
Or deducing like a love song…

Like your twin sister Irene,
You are rapidly coming our way
With a devastating strength
And you send your ferocious wind
To let us all know
That you will be here soon!

Mean girl, for you we are ready
To fight you to the end!
Trains and buses suspended,
Schools and public places closed
While streets are deserted
Foods, water and medicine storage
Waiting to be used
In this approaching moment of truth!

Mandatory evacuation enforced,
Firefighters, police and ambulances
Are ready for action when needed!
Now, together we all pray
That the Lord spares this great city
From the grasp of this mean girl
Named Sandy
We ask the whole World to pray
For the brothers and sisters
In the other side of the globe!
Amen!

Sweet And Sweet And Sweet

Sweet and Sweet and Sweet
Date: June 28,2012

Ah, sweet, and sweet and sweet
Lemon ice on a hot day
Melting, cool on the tongue
A slide into quicksand
Sinking, sinking, in weightless frenzy
Just sweet, and sweet and sweet
Silver-blue lightning strikes
Limbs climb skyward, rain quenched
I praise to Eros
A flash of light, the smell of flame
So sweet, and sweet and sweet
A sigh caught and caged
The current swells and falls
Swells and falls…in concert
Rushing toward the shore
It's sweet, and sweet and sweet
Sticky, warm and welcome
Hot peppermint on a cat's tail
Painting abstract portraits on the horizon
A masterpiece…flawless

Before I Am Gone

Let my silence be
My faithful witness
And my written words
Become my un-erasable footprints…
Let my humble spirit
Lift itself up to the immense skies
And along with the dusty wind,
Spreads my sincere message
Of Peace and Love for always!

At this very moment of truth,
What can I possibly tell the World
That I haven't already told
A thousand times through my works?
What else can I say
About this passionate love
That I dearly harbor in my heart
And which I still strongly hold?

Let my honest message
Become the fountain of inspiration
For new generations to come
When my awakening thoughts
Are clearly reflected
In the mirror of time
As a living proof of my legacy
Proudly left behind
When temporarily I depart
To continue my unending journey
Through Space and Time,
Knowing for sure
That one given day,
I will be back
To this lovely Earth…

My Flag My Country

Wind blows, my flag dances, in the wind
The anthem is sang, souls in unison bond
My flag is tough in the wind, none would
Blow my flag a way, my country I'm proud
Defender is me, the glory of spilled blood

During emancipation from slavery,
The ills washed, and made white as cotton
The struggles, the quest for victory
My flag flies, in wholeness,
The sweet, reminiscences of my country's history.

A Yonder Thunder

There comes a time in everyone’s life,
just before an approaching storm.
They hear the yonder thunder,
with a warning for them there.

Some of us ignore it;
do what we must do.
Then throw caution to the wind,
to let it blow its scorn.

We stand to look at the thunder,
of the approaching storm.
The sky goes black, the wind howls,
with angry voices there.

We stand tall against the sky,
ready to face the coming foe.
Are we brave or stupid,
or don’t we really know?

The storm passes overhead,
and then the dust settles down.
Are we still standing tall,
or are we cowering on the ground?

We all ask this question,
at the yonder thunder’s call.
Can we face our truths,
or will we be among those cowering on the ground?

Johanna

The flight was short
But the touching affections
Left behind on this Earth
Were forever stamped
In the hearts you touched
While living with us.

Three little ones
Who will be forever
Missing you days and nights
And who would carry your image,
For you continue living
Through all of them!

Two sad butterflies
Dressed in Black and Red
Carried the message
Of your departure!
Sweet and fun memories
Will enlighten our lives
And those precious ones
You left behind!

The Mighty One
Will be welcoming you
In the Heavens!
Rest In Peace dear Johanna!

A Scrap of Paper

"Will you go to war just for a scrap of paper?" -- Question
of the German Chancellor to the British Ambassador,
August 5, 1914.

A mocking question! Britain's answer came
Swift as the light and searching as the flame.

"Yes, for a scrap of paper we will fight
Till our last breath, and God defend the right!

"A scrap of paper where a name is set
Is strong as duty's pledge and honor's debt.

"A scrap of paper holds for man and wife
The sacrament of love, the bond of life.

"A scrap of paper may be Holy Writ
With God's eternal word to hallow it.

"A scrap of paper binds us both to stand
Defenders of a neutral neighbor land.

"By God, by faith, by honor, yes! We fight
To keep our name upon that paper white."

Blow Me A Kiss

Take one in the leg [Think about your baby]
Take one in the side [Think about your girl]
Take one in the head [Think about your mother]
Take one in the heart [It's the end of the world]

So blow me a kiss cuz I'm black
Blow me a kiss cuz I'm gay
Blow me a kiss cuz I'm shakin'
Say goodnight then blow me away
Blow me away
Blow me away
Tell me what you're thinkin' tell me why
Blow me a kiss then blow me away

Take one in the face [Think about your life]
Take one in the eye [Think about your soul]
Take one in the mouth [Think about your savior]
Take one in the thigh [Are you ready to go]

So blow me a kiss cuz I'm lonely
Blow me a kiss cuz I'm afraid
Blow me a kiss cuz you don't know me
Say goodnight then blow me away
Blow me away
Blow me away
Tell me what you're thinkin' tell me why

I'm in my room I'm Dr. Doom
Cuz I'm not me I'm someone else
Why should you die don't ask me why
You know it you know it you know it
Blow me away

I turn the page I am the rage
I'm coming from a darker place
A much darker place
So blow me away
Blow me away

Yeah blow me away
Tell me what you're thinkin' tell me why
Blow me a kiss then blow me away
Yeah blow me away
C'mon and blow me away
Tell me what you're thinkin' tell me why
Blow me a kiss then blow me away

Hope of a Nation

How sweet is our victory!
How wonderful is the glory
Of God.
We nod
At times vicariously,
Inadvertently.
Difficult times are ahead,
We have to be strong and mad
To face the future.
Luck and good nature
Are not enough.
Life is tough,
Amidst the dangers,
Brothers and sisters,
We are going to stand to fight,
The injustices and everything that is not right.
We are going to work together,
Stand together, fight together
And undoubtedly win together.
We have more than hope on our sides,
We have God, the wind, the waves and the tides.

Never Giving Up

Barely conscious
Or hardly caring which way
I face the World,
I take a bolder step,
Traveling steadily
Against the wind
That is sometimes too strong,
An air so cold
That it numbs my senses
Until I feel myself
Turned inside out…

II try to keep the direction
I have set for
So that somehow,
I will arrive somewhere
As I know the path
I have followed
Has brought me
To a better place,
A freer state of mind
Where I will truly
Become myself!

Lay Down In Ashes

Lay Down in Ashes
Date: February 18,2012

When green flies through the window
And love is on the ground
The morning dew is soundless
The sun cannot be found
When standing in the shadows
In the passing of a day
Whisper sweet my darling
If love can find the way
But if the sod is barren
The clay, cold and dry
My head will bend in sorrow
To see you passing by
Still, let the fire be nameless
The sparks burn to ash
Make haste into the sunshine
No time for looking back

A Wind From... Elsewhere

The wind blows here... the wind blows there
The wind seems to blow from... everywhere.
But the wind I love... when it blows... blows fair...
This wind... when it blows... blows from... ELSEWHERE! Can you see its graceful fingers... playing in your hair?
Nay! You cannot see the wind... e'en though you know it's there.
It's flitting... it's flirting... it's prancing everywhere
This wind... when it blows... blows from... ELSEWHERE! It blows unexpectedly... with a gentle breeze... it blows...
The Great Hand of Miracles... brings it... then it goes
To greet the early morning sun... to dance to and fro
From the highest, loftiest mountain heights... to valleys... far below. 'Who is He that sitteth upon the circle of the earth...
Who gathereth the winds in his fists—Who maketh a wind to pass over...
Thou hearest the sound thereof...
But canst not tell whence it cometh... and wither it goeth.' The wind blows here... the wind blows there...
The wind seems to blow... from everywhere.
But the wind I love... when it blows... blows fair—
This wind... when it blows... blows from... ELSEWHERE!

Burn Baby Burn

Burn Baby Burn
Date: January 15,2012

I’m burning myself in the midday sun
While shielding my soul
And pretending to run
Yet, I’m still holding on
When I should let go
It’s a strange paradox
So hot, yet so cold

I’m lost in the chant of a cold winter rain
And yet I keep listening
Though it’s causing me pain
I keep holding my breath
While waiting to see
If my life will move on
And where it’ll take me

I’m so tied to emotions
That I try to forget
But, try as I might
I’m forsaken as yet
Why do I still cling
To this cold barren dream
When it’s full of illusions
And cruel heartless schemes

I search for my muse
In the wind and the rain
But my hands are left empty
And my soul is left drained
Seems I can’t turn the page
With this hole in my heart
It just doesn’t make sense
I still hide in the dark

I keep asking myself
My question the same
Why keep rolling the dice
When I’m losing the game
Why do I continue
To offer my heart
When I know that it’s useless
There’s no fire in the spark
