To write

To write
is to feel
To feel
is to heal
To heal
is to reveal
instead of conceal
While you stand still

Angels are for real

There is something inside that I feel
An inner strengthening of my will

What’s the big deal?
Let me reveal
Angels are for real

There's nothing to conceal
This secret you can steal
I say as I kneel
Angels are for real

I quietly appeal
With such zeal
Angels are for real

Luck they bring
With each wing
Love they air as they sing
Always there when you squeal
Whilst eating your last meal
Right by the steering wheel

Angels are a thrill
Angels are for real
They have the power to heal
Surreal as a dream!

Your Trust

Your trust is what I desire
If you turn out to be a liar
like a raging fire
I will need seven daily weekly cures
Because there is only so much that I can endure

If he speaketh

If he speaketh
the words of wisdom
Her young tender eyes
may be inclined to believe
the promise once forgotten

If he speaketh
with his ancient tongue
behold our master will be wrong
The rustling leaves of autumn
can only fly where there is a breeze

If he speaketh
with his eyes
how dare he, dare lie
promises have become
broken ties

If he speaketh with his pen
I write back
tell him where he belongs

If he speaketh
with his hands
I will let him understand
the air can only stand still
were there is no gravity

The Perfect Miracle

I have found
The perfect miracle
In a simple prayer

Forgive me
Love me
Hold me
Guide me
Let me be
Lord I thank thee

I do not expect an answer

The Truth about Life

The struggle goes on
Whichever direction you turn
There is no excluded section where you can run

The truth about life
Is merely to survive
From the moment you arrive
In birth, to the end of death

Think Again!

When you hold your head up high
I see it in your eyes
You want to say goodbye

Your ego persuades you to
embark on this smoky trip
If only you know how I feel
Your selfishness I spelt
While the ice awaits to melt
Be careful you might slip
They shall all weep

Why wash away on me now
Tears of sorrow
When there is always tomorrow

Narrow roads
Wrong paths
Why take away
What’s not yours

Think again
While it rains
Think again
You can still control your brain
from going completely insane

Think again about a white dove
Think again about all the love
That is still out there
Waiting to be showered on you
I truly care

Guide me to your Heart

What will it take?
for Heavens sake
to convince you
I will not be a mistake

Take my hands
Guide me to your heart
I may not be perfect
Take time to reflect
Before you insert
A barrier between us
Don't turn this
Into a big fuss

Can you not see?
what is real?
Can you not smell
the freshness of the open sea
Can you not feel
the love sensation here
That is about to explode
Why not let me unlock that heart
With your golden secret code

Guide me to your Heart
It is worth the risk
I want to whisk
you off to my magic land
So that you can feel
The true meaning of love
Like a white flying dove

For once
Trust your intuition
This is not a marriage
or an institution

I want to be there for you
When you are feeling blue
I know you feel this way too
The time is now due
Guide me to your Heart

I will be your husband

For better or for worse
I will be your husband
But of you I quietly demand
Obedience and respect
I am the man of house
I am the man who's intellect

For a just cause
I will be your husband
I expect of you no fuss
When I have the last say
Of how we are to operate
each and everyday especially today

Open Heavens

The Heavens have opened
Pouring down with rain
Pouring down a range of sorrows
Like there is no tomorrow

We stand in unity
Awaiting a faculty of miracles
Praying for some form of immunity
From the uncertain
Famines, tornadoes, earthquakes

Without giving us a break
In no chronological disorder
Our earth, our Mother
Has chosen days and places
To reinstate her authority

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

Fountain of Love

Bestow upon me a fountain of love
Let me taste your purity in its true form
I who stand here believe in your love
Whether it decides to go or come
Depending on the season that spreads
Across the years for simple reasons

Restore my faith in love with every sprinkle
Adore my faith as I bath in you
Harmoniously in youth and age with every wrinkle
Together and forever
I salute thee!

I believe that love
Starts with a smile
That lasts longer than just a while

I believe that love
Feeds our hearts together
And mostly enduringly forever

I believe that love
Is only existent
When truly deemed as important

Important it shall be
To those who want to be free
To those who want to feel and see
As you bubble out the essence of love

Raining snow

There was once a little town
Where it rained only heavy snow
The town was consumed by sadness
It kept snowing a fortress
of never ending madness

'Raining snow, pour down and go'
They would say
'All you do is make us feel low'

Winter has never been our friend
Coldness is the only message it sends
Rivers turn into blocks of cold ice
Everyone is everything but nice
Obstacles hit us not once but thrice
Why shower us with such a price?

The raining snow replied,
'If you all just unite as one,
Your warmth alone will melt the ice'

At forty life begins

I say it with a grin
At forty life begins

Relaunching itself
into a birthless age
Its a phase
Its a stage
Its a case
a renewed forty year package

The rebirth of youth
Its time to loose
all your old fashioned suits

Doors will open

Doors will shut, open and close
I ask of you not to cry
While your troubles stir and fry
I ask of you not to sigh

Write this down with a pen
I cannot say when
Nevertheless, doors will open

Find those loose ends and tie them with a knot
Make some effort
Do not listen to any buts
You are the main decider
The one and only jockey rider
Of your own track events
Try to be patient
Not all rewards are heaven sent

So write this down with a pen
I cannot say when
Nevertheless, doors will open

Believe in yourself
Set out your goals
Think about yesterday, today and tomorrow
Keep walking even if hit by blows
Sometimes progress itself is slow
Yet, when it strikes you out of the blue
You will realise that it is indeed true
Doors will open!

Bitter Winter Sweet

Bitter Winter Sweet
Clattering shivering teeth
Frosty icy streets
People yearning for hot meat

A snowman freezes without heat
Snowy flakes lined up neat
Children play, laugh and sit
Schools close down in defeat

What is my destiny?

What is my destiny?
What is your destiny?
Can it be changed at all?
Or is it another hallucination
A figment of our imagination,
of what life should hold in stock for us

If destiny would walk our paths
I would say to destiny
Why have you come all this way, just to lead us astray?

Confused Sexuality

He was confused
She was confused
A nonsensical sexual reality
A perceived established identity
Conformity of confused sexuality
A deformity of needs
Where the eyes and the body feed

Are we gay?
Have we all fallen astray?
Is it time for us to pray?
While the sun shines its rays,
We stand up proudly and say
Why do we feel this way?

His smile made him belong
To a land identified as wrong
Her kiss made her feel
It was time to dismiss
What was unreal
His touch made him want
him more and more
Her touch inspired her
She felt something
She had never felt before

The Journey of confusion
Denial and submission
The passage of life from birth
When they were all in a transition

Learning from you and me
Trying to understand the key
Of how to unlock the door to be free
Are we therefore responsible
for this confused sexual identity
Teaching them the good and the wrong
Or has it been there all along

Good Bad Friendship

A bad friendship
is like a sinking ship

A good friendship
Don't trade for riches, try to keep

It is not always okay to share
cries and laughter
with total strangers

A good friendship is the only bond
That can be compared to a precious little diamond

You lost me!

You lost me by the sea
Huge waves came crashing down
One by One

Signals were already showing
in red and white and glowing
Your strokes stopped following
the right path

I felt we could swim the distance
together in advance
I thought we did not need
any kind of reassurance
Somewhere along the way
We must have lost our balance

You lost me
Once you tried to conceal
your love for me which was real

Your frequent kisses started slowing
Slowing down
Slowing down

Once a love story and talk of the town
Everything came crashing down
Crashing down
Crashing down
Our love will never be the same
This is no longer a game

You lost me
Can't you see
What was once meant to be
The only key to my heart
Is now lost forever at sea
