The Sun
Long before mankind was born
Alone stood a star called ‘The Sun’
The sun thought
So often alone a lot
One day the sun thought
If I could be that daylight indicator
A kind of happiness creator
On earth and allow my sunshine rays to run
I shall indeed be the true originator of fun
I can decide to wake up everyday at dawn
Not only will I be the source of light
But also the source of life
When people see me, it is that simple
Only smiles on their faces will be worn
When I rise
They shall all walk in my shadow
And the wise
Will take shelter, as my intensity flows
And so its journey begun
Now everyone wants a piece of the sun
Now everyone wants a piece of its warmth
Sometimes I wonder what will become of us
Long when the sun is gone!

My Beautiful Sunshine
My beautiful sunshine
At night you turn into a twinkling star
My beautiful sunshine
In the light, By you I'm dazzled from afar
I want to reach out and touch you
Whilst you shine your light at me from near distance
But all I can really do, Yes! really, really do and its true!
Is caress your face with my smile this very instance
My beautiful sunshine
Winter to my heart will soon makes its way
For now I hold onto your warmth which is mine
I sing sweet melodies in your delightful rays
Coaxing your heart to sing to me and play
When winter comes announced again
Your memories will take away all the pain
Whether it snows or it decides to rain
O! my beautiful sunshine, I will wait for you
To shine your light on me once gain

Long weeks, short weekends
Monday,
The week is spun
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
And the weekend is born
Saturday, Sunday
Back to square one
Where it all begun
Long weeks, short weekends
With no inclination of fun

Identity of a person
Identity of a person
Identity signifies complexity
Identity identifies with reality
Identity is the bearer of all vanity
How does a person identify with identity?
You define yourself based on what?
They say, they say
You’re kind or moral based on what?
Or
You’re a genius and shrewd based on what?
Or
You make the perfect lover, look for no other
They say, they say
You’re strong without a thought it may not last long
Or
You’ve skills since with a record you run up high bills
Or
You are shy but no one ever talks to you or says hi
Or
You never give up because right now you are on top
They say, they say
You are generous or gregarious when all you are is conscious
Or
You’re innovative yet not the originator of the idea conceived
What are the facts?
That makes your identity intact
When change on identity has the last impact?

A drinkers wish
Make a wish
While you drink like a fish
Maybe the lady in red
Will descend on your lips with a kiss
Before the bouncer throws you out
Of the club in one piece

This is called Love!
If our love is born as a beautiful born baby
I will cradle it gently like a mature lady
I'll respect as if a gentleman in disguise
Whose love ain't stamped with a price
So do you want me?
Do you want me?
Utter it loud,
If you really want me
I'll fly across the seven skies
To intoxicate you with my love
I'll love you like no other
Flabbergast you beyond wonder
I’ll walk from one country to another
Swim endless flowing rivers
I'll send you tantalizing infinite kisses
And torture you with loving touches
I’ll send you my love in one piece
Or in amorous fragmented pieces
Just make your wish!
Do you want me?
Utter it loud,
If you really want me
Call out my name
If you feel the same
In all sincerity
Believe in destiny
This is called love
I can’t bear this separation
I’ll plot the longitude &magnitude
Of your location
Just to enjoy some loving duration
With you!
Specify your need
Feed it with a kiss
Call it monumental madness
Call it momentary gladness
So do you want me?
Do you want me?
Whisper it out loud,
This is called love

Ohh Ye Sunshine
Ohh Ye Sunshine, Ohh Ye Sunshine
Why must i feel so cold in the day,
When u are beaming with such warmth,
Why must i feel so empty,
Yet u smile at me every moment,
Why must i continue on this long journey of life,
Yet i know u have been here longer then me with no complaints,
Ohh Ye Sunshine, Ohh Ye Sunshine
Why must i want to feel the warmth of another,
When u shed your rays of warmth on to me,
Why is it that i am so alone in this universe,
Yet i have u with me every day,
Why do i feel as if every one has abandoned me and left me to myself,
Yet u follow me without a secound thought,
Ohh Ye Sunshine, Ohh Ye Sunshine
It seems that you are the only one there thru my experiences,

People of today
Today in general
People are refined animals
People are redefined cannibals
Masses of bodies’ fat and flesh
Classes of individual thoughts, yet meshed
People, People of today
Most of them easily led astray
Today to be precise
The world is full of people
Some of which are nice or wise
There are those who are common
A lot easier to summon
Then followed by the enlightened
Wearing faces that are brightened
Some are with an awesome mind
Others are of a loathsome kind
People of today
The old with wrinkles
The young with dimples
They can be playful
They can helpful
They can be harmful
They can be spiteful
They can be lustful
There can be trustful
And they can be useful
People of today
In reality are full of vanity, I say it again
They complain even when there is no pain
Their common values are all the same
Money, fame and love is the name of the game
They exist only as on-key friends
When there is real money to spend
But people are people
Whether complicated or simple
Everyone regardless of attribute
Plays a role in life and contributes
Every person I look upon with an avid salute!

You wander as a lonely
Each day you wake up with a frown
Rumours keep spreading around town
That you’re suffering a mental breakdown
A solitary walk you walk
A lonely talk you talk
As you wander as a lonely
You wander as a lonely at night
You wander as a lonely on sight
You wander as a lonely at day
You wander as a lonely and pray
You wander as a lonely each day
Slow down, slow down
Shut down, shut down
Shutdown the lonely before you drown
Embrace your friends with warmth
They can give you assistance
Deliver you from your lonely existence
You keep fighting love
Bending it around like a curve
With your glowering face
Reserving only a lonely place,
Halting happiness to arrive in your life
Do you ever stop to wonder?
Do you ever stop to ponder?
Are you the reason for the lonely blunders?
Slow down, slow down
Shut down, shut down
Remove from your head that lonely crown
You wander endlessly as a lonely
Searching for a spot called homely
But your face is missing that vital smile called lovely

My Fantasy
My fantasy is of you
Please make my dream come true
My fantasy is of you
as I call your name out of the blue
When I close my eyes
I can see you with a nightly glow
You are the only one
that can attempt to steal my flow
My fantasy is of you
while I wait in a queue
as a pilgrim on a journey
waiting for our paths to meet
And when that meeting takes place
your wheels of thought
will spin me and stop me in my track
My fantasy is of you singing a song
Singing a song with me
all night long

Come On And Get A Big Piece
Come on and get a big piece of love,
My love...
You had thought had gone.
Come on and get a big piece of love.
Come on and get a big piece of love.
Come on and get a big piece of love,
My love...
You thought had gone wrong.
Come on and get a big piece of love.
Come on and get a big piece of love.
I can no longer make excuses for me.
I can no longer be that,
Tragedy!
Hey...
Come on and get a big piece of love,
My love...
You had thought had gone.
Come on and get a big piece of love.
Come on and get a big piece of love.
Come on and get a big piece of love,
My love...
You thought had gone wrong.
Come on and get a big piece of love.
Come on and get a big piece of love.
I can't,
Stay safe...
Knowing without you,
I'm all alone.
I stay,
Awake...
Wondering,
Who's now in your home...
Playing 'Daddy'.
Come on and get a big piece of love,
My love...
You had thought had gone.
Come on and get a big piece of love.
Come on and get a big piece of love.
Come on and get a big piece of love,
My love...
You thought had gone wrong.
Come on and get a big piece.
A bigger than a big big piece.
Is there anything for me, boo?
Do you mind if I boo hoo too?
Come on and get a big piece.
A bigger than a big big piece.
Come on and get a big piece of love,
My love...
You had thought had gone.

The Ocean I know!
I know it to be true
That the ocean sea is blue
I know it to be true
The mountains compliment the ocean
The fountains supplement the ocean
I know it to be true
The ocean is extremely salty
Inhabited by fishes of various faculties
I know it to be true
The ocean is a source of food and minerals
Embellished with floors of pearls, shells and corals
I know it to be true;
That infinite battles have been fought
Across stormy tidal and calmly ocean waves
Where slaves have been sold and bought
With freedom won not merely by a simple handshake
I know it to be true;
That down below is an amazing picture
Of many a wonderful sea creature
That fishermen, endlessly try to capture
What about the water sports being featured?
Swimming, diving, boating, and waterskiing
All written excitingly in the oceans scripture
Still the ocean sometimes doesn’t know how to behave
When they come marching, those ginormous tidal waves!
All those present become a slave to its oceanic graves
And yet I know it to be true
If we shave all the water of the oceans carpet
Living will not be worth it on this planet!

Letter to GOD
God you are the creator, of after and before
Often I cry my eyes out sore
With tears rolling to the floor
Where is your door? Where is your door?
That I may knock on
God, I recognize my weakness
Ample times, I've asked your forgiveness
The joyful simple things
Love and Life brings
Have not sung my way
God, I still wait patiently as you say
God, this is your letter
Perhaps life will get better
When you read this or perhaps wetter
Each day I try to do right, always putting up a fight
Still in this life's darkness, I have not found the light
As you watch me below, hope continues to grow
Faith in you still flows, because I know
My God is great
The countless blessings
You have showered upon we
Like the air we breathe for free
The eyes of vision we use to see
The taste of pure water without a fee
Anything else can come late, I'll wait
Because I know my God is great

Happiness
Happiness is a state of mind
It is out there in all shapes to find
Just like a star, an exciting illusion
Specifically designed by nature's institution
Happiness is one of the greatest things
That can happen to a human being
It is nothing and it is something
It is also everything

I love to love
I love to love
I love to love
Come sunshine, Come rain
I love to love
In prose and in verse I write
With skills and enormous strength I fight
In pearls and glittering diamonds I radiate light
An anecdote of life viewed from within my angled sight
I love to love
Come spring Come autumn
Take a walk in the park as the winds blow stubborn
I have long forgotten the traditions of culture
Westerners have globalised this idea of torture
But the ideology of love has never changed
A cooked up theorization that has not aged
Within love I must find love itself
The first person I must love is my only self
For many have come and gone
But I stand here always next to none
So being self-born in love is fun
I love to love
Come my virtues, come my vices
Which one comes first – let’s just throw the dice
For love is nice so say all those who are wise
As everything else in life comes with a price

I hold onto life!
I hold onto life
Waiting for a better tomorrow
I hold on to life
Despites its constant sorrows
I hold onto life
For I know I am free to go
Once to it, I return what I borrow
Life is nice when it flows
Life is priceless in life itself
In its hardship I strive
Enjoying the pleasurables
For in life, hope is always near and fresh
For dust to dust is the human flesh
Life never gives more or less
The meaning itself is forever pointless
But I still hold onto life like you!

Long walk home
As I look at my shoe rack
I know I have walked far
Walked to the moon and back
Weary like a potato sack
Sometimes on the right track
Trekking thousand of miles
Encountered with cries and smiles
My own courage I never lack
Even the fastest car
Could not have gone that far
It would have broken down
Somewhere along the way
With a driver at the wheel
I may never have been able to tell
The fake from the real
Or the difference between
Heaven and hell
It is only my will
Which carries me through day by day
As I pray not to be led astray
It’s a long walk home
Hammered by rocks and stones
Paths filled with flowers and thorns
At times I felt alone
The everyday obstacles
Blessed sometimes by sudden miracles
While trying to survive
Climbing hills
And mountains made of steel
Drenched in pouring rain
Confused by crossroads
I am getting there
Stepping on each road with care
I am getting near
Jumping up and down with fear
It’s a long walk home

The blind man and his dog
Excuse me, excuse me
Make way, he heard a voice say
The blind man and his dog
walked along his way
His one and only companion
for friends he had none
The blind man spoke
When I think about life
I like to slice it with a knife
We hold on to it tight
for this thing called life, right!
We battle and fight
for this thing called life, right!
behold I'm a man without sight
deprived of the colour of daylight
I have no anger, I have no right
As I live free of fright
Treasuring the fact I'm alive
I have no vision of black or white
Do not stress over my plight
I am the blind man with his dog
At night I sleep like a log
The earth is my rug
The air is my drug
with or without the nightly fog
I have a vision of beauty
of love and thruth
I have perfect immunity
of material wealth
I have appreciation
of good health
I am the blind man with his dog
I am thankful of all simple things
What joy they do bring!
