SEA OF AMBIGUITY...by Talile Ali
WASTED
LOST IN A WORLD
THAT HAS NO NEED
OF ME
TIRED
OF HOPING FOR SOMETHING
THATS NOT PART
OF ME
GIVE ME SOME IDEA
IT'S WHAT YOUR WANTIN
BECAUSE I REALLY
DON'T KNOW THE SCORE
IF I
BECOME SOMETHING WANTING
WILL YOU HAVE NEED
OF ME
NEVER TO KNOW REAL LOVE
PALE
BECAUSE
I NEVER KNEW ME
SEA OF LI

It's Me
Here I stand at the door of your heart just knockin'
Won't you let me in I can take away the sin that lies within
I know what your wanting to say
But can only think, can only pray that someone hears
You hide all your secrets in that private place
If you only knew that you mind is open to my eye
I know the truth, I know what you need to fill the void in you
If you only knew that it is me
Chorus:
It's me, that you are searchin' for
It's me, that you are thinkin' of
It's me, that can't live without
It's me, It's me
Here I am, but still you try everything
To give you only what I can
Always hoping that someone'll understand, oh please
It all awaits you if you just taste and see
I am what you need
(chorus)
What did I do to make you turn so very far away
What's to lose when you have it all to gain
I know you, and what you are and what you want to be
If you only knew it's all in me
(chorus)
It is me, that you're searchin' for
Nobody else can no one can give you more
It is me, that you're thinkin' of
I can show you love, real love

I'm Tired Of It All
I am tired of it all
I am tired of today
I am tired of the summer heat-
I am tired of all the years of trying to be something
And still being nothing and no one
I am tired of myself and my ambition
I am tired of reading the great poems of others
I am tired of Poetry
I am tired of being old
I am tired of no longer having the means to help those I care for-
I am tired of having written for so many years
And having so little to show for it-
I am tired of being an old man getting older -
I am tired of being afraid of what is going to happen to me
And those close to me
I am tired of having so many sick friends-
I am tired of having more and more people I have known who are dead
I am tired of a world in which violence and stupidity play such a great part
I am tired of all the problems that should have been solved years ago
And yet persist-
I am tired of cruelty
I am tired of rudeness and petty selfishness
I am tired of seeing the evil get away with it
I am tired truly tired
Tired of being tired also
Tired of myself and my complaints-
And my failure all these years
To make things right-
And yet and yet with all the tiredness
I know there is so much else even in myself-
I still want to live and dream and hope and help those I love
I still want to write still a few lines of poetry
that will be read by others
And help them
Dream to begin again
I still want to give to those I love
The little I still have to give
I still want to live
For life itself is life itself is still good
Despite the tiredness.

All night. (Day 2)
lying there in bed with your beloved
thinking what tommorow will lead you two
daydreaming what will happen from here
few months being married
you get the news you are going to have baby
happy about having a baby but is your beloved happy
well just hoping to be the pround parent
wanting to be the best parent of all
getting the baby room set up
making it look pretty and all
wanting it to be nice when the baby comes
you and your beloved is so exited
the day is here when your child is coming
going through the hard pain of labor
giving birth and seeing everything a blurr
hearing the word the baby is not breathing
you fear for your life
hoping that your baby is not dead
passing out because you were tired
waking up wanting to hold your baby for the first time
your beloved tells you the baby is alive but
under major breathing problems
End of Day 2. Come back tommorow to read more.
This poem is not real ok. I am just getting ready to become a real writter. Please let me know what you think.

An Idea
An Idea can change the world, how many
things can be done from an idea, every piece
of object was an idea, sense the beginning of
time idea was the first thought created in the
mind, an idea is what surround’s every being.
But an idea is still only an idea and it can't be
felt, you cannot touch an idea or kiss it, or hold it,
ideas do not bleed or feel pain or love, an idea
cannot be seen or heard, its created in our thoughts,
but then again an idea can become real. An idea
can be what ever you which it to be, an idea can
be destructive, an idea can be brilliant, I've seen
people get killed in the name of ideas, ideas,
we walk around with a little
light bulb blinking in our thoughts, ideas.

A Wasted Life
I know youre walkin down a lonely street
I know you cant get out of the heat
Baby its alright
Dont have a wasted life
I know you have to feel a little used up
And no one can give you enough
Baby hold on tight
Dont have a wasted life
I love you too much
Dont have a wasted life
I love you too much
They give it to you from the time youre born
You keep tryin to make one more score
Baby its alright
You gotta stand and fight
So when youre lonely and you fe el let down
You can call me Ill come around
And treat you nice
Dont have a wasted life
I love you too much uh, uh, uh, dont have a wasted life

Give the Love
Give the love before it’s gone
Give all the love before it’s gone, it’s gone
Before it’s gone by fate
Give the love before it’s faded
Give a whole love before it’s faded, it’s faded
Before it’s faded by time
Give the love before it’s turned
Give the best of love before it’s turned, it’s turned
Before it’s turned to hate
Give the love before it’s erased
Give the sincere love before it’s erased, it’s erased
Before it’s erased by doubt
Give the love before it’s broken
Give the sweet love before it’s broken, it’s broken
Before it’s broken by hurt
Give the love before it’s lost
Give the faithful love before it’s lost, it’s lost
Before it’s lost to temptation
Give the love before it’s changed
Give your dreaming love before it’s changed, it’s changed
Before it’s changed by realization
Give the love before it flies
Give an unbinding love before it flies, it flies
Before it flies by love
Give the love before it’s tired
Give the passionate love before it’s tired, it’s tired
Before it’s tired by coldness
Give the love before it is hidden
Give the touch of love before it is hidden, it’s hidden
Before it is hidden by fear
Give the love before it’s forbidden
Give an innocent love before it’s forbidden, it’s forbidden
Before it’s forbidden by rule
Give the love before it’s indifferent
Give the undying love before it’s indifferent, it’s indifferent
Before it’s indifferent by unrequited
Give the love before it’s shattered
Give a strong love before it’s shattered, it’s shattered
Before it’s shattered by despair
Give the love before it’s crazy
Give the unconditional love before it’s crazy, it’s crazy
Before it’s crazy by blindness
Give the love before it plays
Give the pure love before it plays, it plays
Before it plays with lie
Give the love before it’s forgotten
Give the greatest love before it’s forgotten, it’s forgotten
Before it’s forgotten by people

Secretly
Secretly
I'm wanting you
And I'm hoping you want me too
I smell your scent across the room
And I can't wait to get next to you
It's like I'm lost
I don't know
But this feeling that I have about you
Will you ever know
Secretly
I'm wanting you
And I'm hoping you want me too
I smell your scent across the room
And I can't wait to get next to you
Whatever I see (when I look at you across the room)
Whatever I hear (I wonder if he loves me too)
Whatever I do (I just think about you for hours)
Oh baby
And it's got me thinking of you
Secretly
I'm wanting you
And I'm hoping you want me too
I smell your scent across the room
And I can't wait to get next to you
Whenever you speak
Whenever you
Oooh
Whenever you breath
Baby
Let me touch you
Please
Secretly
I'm wanting you
And I'm hoping you want me too
I smell your scent across the room
And I can't wait to get next to you
Secretly
I'm wanting you
And I'm hoping you want me too
I smell your scent across the room
And I can't wait to get next to you
It smells so good
I just wanna ... kiss you
I wanna ... lay with you
I don't know how to tell you
But secretly
I want you
I just wanna get next to you

The World of Love
The world of love is waiting
For you and I to share
The world of love is waiting
Just tell me that you care
The world of love is waiting
For two people to move in
The world of love is asking
Where have you and I been
The world of love is hoping
That we’ll give it a try
The world of love has a place
For you and I to occupy
The world of love is shining
Because now we are a part
The world of love is living
Inside both of our hearts

Goddess of Pain
Oh Goddess
Of Pain
What will I do
Without you
Everyday
You bless me
With the feeling of pain
You make me hurt
Every single day
Do you like to
Hurt me so much
With all the pain
You give me
You tear my heart
Apart so much
I cant stand it
I try to stitch it
Back together
But you dont want
That to happen
So you just tear open
My new heart
Sometimes I wonder
If what you give me
Is not a gift
I wonder
If it is
A curse
That you pledge on me
I dont know
What I shall do
With you watching me
Every single day
Making my life
Miserable then ever
Some pain is good
But I have one little question
Just for you
Will you please
Let up a little bit
From all the pain you give me
I cant take it
Anymore
So please
Just think about it
And hopefully
Youll understand
I am just human
That is not the strongest
In the world
So like I said
Please
Just think about it
I know I will
Be thinking about it
Hoping that you understand
Because it hurts so much
I cry myself
To sleep every night
Wanting the pain to go away
I feel very tired
Right now
So I am going to go
And cry myself to sleep
Wanting you
The Goddess of Pain
To take away
All the pain
You have given me
From day after day

Real Cool World
So far this love is delightful
The face of seduction was you
But I listened for each and every footstep
In this real cool world
Questioning saintlike and fantastic heroes
Feeling like lost little children in fabled lands
So I listen for each and every friendship
In this real cool world
Now there is you
In my real cool world
Starry-eyed life but somehow believing in nothing
You whisper sweet nothing but reading between your lines
I listen color me doubtful
In this real cool world
Now there is you
In my real cool world
You came from nowhere
You came from nowhere
You held me you shook me
Hey
Its a cool world
Its a cool world
Its a real cool world
Its a real cool world
Its a real cool world
Its a real cool world
Now there is you
In my real cool world
Now there is you
In my real cool world
Mmmm
Real cool world

Falling in Love
Have you ever fallen in love,
But knew they did not care?
Have you ever felt like crying,
But knew you'll get no-where?
Have you ever watched them walk away....
Not wanting them to go?
And whispered 'I love you' softly...
Not wanting them to know?
You cried all night in a misery
And almost went insane
There's nothing in the world
That causes this much pain.
If I had to choose between love and death,
I think I'd rather die.
Love is fun, but hurts too much
And the price you pay is high
So I say, don't fall in love,
You'll be hurt before it's through,
You see my friend I ought to know.
I fell in love with you! ! !

Go to Work!
Go to the score, go to work,
While my feet arouse the comfort
By sitting down, by lying down
And resting.
When do roads build a future?
And when does rest happen to unrest
On the world’s shoulder?
On this part of the body we raise a doubt
Of sudden thought, of a blind attack
On the rest of the world we live in.
This score is leaving its mark
On the real right world.
Go to the end of this world to deliver
Its message as a rainbow does
With splendour.
Go to work on this day!

Lonely, Needin Lovin
(kenny chesney/buddy brock/donny kees)
She comes in every morning at nine and sits down at her desk
Smiles and says hello to everybody and tries to do her best
To act like nothings wrong and nothings missin in her life
But her eyes tell a story
That her smile cant disguise
Shes got that needin somebody, wantin somebody who
Will treat her like somebody for once in her life
Shes lonely for love
Is that asking too much
For someone to treat her right
Shes got that lonely, needin lovin, wantin somebody look in her eyes
Sometimes I wanna walk on over and tell her I can help
cause I know losing a love is tough
Ive been there myself
You still feel the pain long after all the tears have dried
And its so hard to cover up
The hurt you feel inside
Shes got that needin somebody, wantin somebody who
Will treat her like somebody for once in her life
Shes lonely for love
Is that asking too much
For someone to treat her right
Shes got that lonely, needin lovin, wantin somebody look in her eyes
Well I wish I could hold her right now
And take her in my arms and show her
That love can still be found
Shes got that needin somebody, wantin somebody who
Will treat her like somebody for once in her life
Shes lonely for love
Is that asking too much
For someone to treat her right
Shes got that lonely, needin lovin, wantin somebody look in her eyes
Shes got that lonely, needin lovin, wantin somebody look in her eyes
Somebody look in her eyes
Lonely, needin lovin, wantin somebody look in her eyes

Only Love
I used to think that I knew what we needed
Just assumed we would always be fine
Now I dont think that we lost the feeling
But we let everything build up inside
Its only love
But love should make us strong
Its only love
But love has been hurting so long
What a challenge, honestly
What a struggle to learn to speak
Whod have thought that
Pretending was easier
Its only love
But love should make us strong
Its only love
But love has been hurting so long
And its all a part of me, it tears at my heart
Only love
And its all an eternity, hoping to learn
Only love
Theres a part of you Im trying to reach
Still a part I dont know
Tell me, is devotion a gift or a thief?
Do you wish Id let go?

Wrong Night
(josh leo, rick bowles)
I set my mind to it.
Said I wasnt gonna do it.
No how. no sir. no way.
I wouldnt give my heart up.
Gonna keep my guard up.
And save it for another day.
Then you walked in with that crazy grin.
And everything I swore before got lost in your eyes.
And flew right out the door.
Chorus
Suddenly I heard love songs.
Playing real soft on the jukebox.
Somebody ordered up moonlight.
And painted stars all across the sky.
Is it gravity or destiny.
Either way theres nothing I can do.
Looks like I picked the wrong night.
Not to fall in love with you.
I briefly resisted but my heart insisted.
It was gonna be giving in.
Hard as I was trying there was no denying.
Which one of us would win.
You came up beside me and asked if Id be wantin to have dance.
And right then I knew.this
Thing was out of my hands.
Repeat chorus twice

Let Me Give The World To You
Last chance to make believe in
Always and all it seems
Train wrecks hide underneath
Your umbrella
Set the frame
Destiny, on this first name soliloquy
Tired symphonies played downward
Let me give the world to you, my love
Let me give the world to you, my love
Let me show you what I'm thinking of
Let me give the world to you, my love
So far
So far
So far
Lovers form dead excuse
And blur the lines with soul abuse
My lonesome lies just have no use around here
New skin may hold you in
But the old skin still turns us on
Flicker fades the nitrate dawn to where
Let me give the world to you, my love
Let me give the world to you, my love
Times are hard and we're the last in line
'Cause in my grief I'd forgotten what was mine
No, I wouldn't change a thing
No, I, no
No, I wouldn't change a thing
About the way you are
The distance here
The speed so far
So far
So far
So far
Let me give the world to you, my love
Let me give the world to you, my love
Let me give the world to you
Let me give the world to you
Let me give the world to you
Let me give the world to you
Let me give the world to you, my love
So far
So far
So far

House Is Not My Home
Well I'm tired, so tired of getting up and wasting another day
I wish the picture on the wall would still say it all
But now yesterday is so far away
And I would give anything, say anything
To keep it all like it was
But you just throw it all away
And I think this house is not my home
I think that I'd rather be alone tonight
I'm trying, trying to fake it
I'm tired, so tired, of giving up and taking all the blame
I wish the shouting and the fights would stop for the night
Can't close my eyes and make them all go away
And I would give anything, say anything
To keep it all like it was
But you just throw it all away
Repeat Chorus
This is the part where you say
You can't stay together just for me
This is the part where you make me choose
On whose side I want to be
This is the part where you decide
What's going to be best for me
This is the start
Now we grow apart (x2)

Mountain
All these dreams and all these plans
I built them all with these two hands
Everything I've realized my dreams
The city lights shine down and they blind me sometimes
But through it all, I was lost but I found my way
So tell me what you want, cause I would give you anything
Tell me what you need and I'll go get it.
I'd give up all these dreams to have you in my arms right now
I'd give up everything and I'd forget it
Wasn't all on a mountain
When it came to me.
All my lifes' been wasted
Chasin shallow dreams
So here we are, let me lift you up and show you this world over me
And all these things, and what I've gained
And what I've seen
It can't compare to the love that you could give to me.
So tell me what you want, cause I would give you anything
Tell me what you need and I'll go get it
I'd give up all these dreams to have you in my arms right now
I'd give up everything and I'd forget it.
Wasn't all on a mountain
When it came to me.
All my lifes' been wasted
Chasin' shallow dreams
Years go by and nothing's slowing down the time
Years go by and then they're wasted.
All this time I thought that I gained everything.
If you're not mine, I'm so empty.
wasn't all on a mountain
when it came, when it came to me
But all my lifes' been wasted chasin shallow dreams
So please come back to me, I'm right here waitin.
So please come back to me, now.

Heart & Soul
(charlie skarbek / rick blaskey)
Duet with cilla black
Ooh, hoo
It was back in sixty-three
We were young and we were free
Thought the world was really ours for the taking
We had heart and we had soul
Ooh, we lived for rock and roll
And didnt we, didnt we, didnt we do it?
Fashions come and fashions go
We were there so we should know
I sometimes smile when I think of how I looked then
Burning candles at both ends
Hoping time would make amends
And didnt we, didnt we, didnt we do it?
With heart and soul
The world is yours, the stars are too
If you bring out the best in you
With heart and soul
Whatever youve been wantin to do
Heart and soul will see it through, oh, ho
Now were older nothings changed
Just some things are rearranged
But the message is the same as when we started
Were gettin stronger everyday
Looking back now we can say
Didnt we, didnt we, didnt we do it? , ahh
With heart and soul
The world is yours, the stars are too
If you bring out the best in you
With heart and soul
Whatever youve been wantin to do
Heart and soul will see it through, ahh
See it through, see it through, ooh, hoo
Ooh, hoo, sing it, sing it, sing it, oh, yeah
With heart and soul
The world is yours, the stars are too
If you bring out the best in you
With heart and soul
Whatever youve been wantin to do
Heart and soul will see it through
Oh, ho, it will see, will see, will see it through, ooh, hoo
You can see it, you can see it, see it, see it through
You can see it, you can see it

Couldn't Afford to Be Lost!
You have not wasted my life,
By finding yours.
I've had this insight.
I had not been waiting for you...
To come 'see' the light.
I've been making mistakes and living life,
While making all types of sacrifices.
No time did I give to wish for the impossible dream.
Every step I take is a challenge.
Do you see any hired bodyguards,
Protecting me from harm?
But around you I have seen delusions,
Fantasies and myths.
And you have no idea how dangerous I think that is!
You have not wasted my life,
By finding yours.
I couldn't afford to be lost!
My identity and dignity I love too much!
I had to be where I was and focused...
At all times.
Since you never were...
You have no clue as to how important that is!
