My Love Is A Ship
My love is a ship living on
I have given back my life to God since I was born
that is a proof with which I live as hard as possible
on a calm day with quiet waves
on a stormy day with ghost waves
I try to deal with the proplems I have to take care of at any current times
on a pleasant day I would make the day sound twice happier with precious words
on a lonely day I would make the day sound half sad with my warm memories
and someday
the shore I would reach
where I would be rooted with my soul
I keep dreaming of the day

Ghost Of Our Love
Watching the waves rolling to the shore,
as I sit throwing pebbles into the water.
The smoke from my cigarette
drifts over my head,
caught in the evening breeze.
Pictures of you move across my mind,
and I sit wondering
how many waves you will see
before you reach that distant shore,
where your new life will begin.
Tears leak from my eyes,
as I remember
why you were sailing away.
There was nothing I could say
to make you stay.
The storms were too long,
too dark in intensity,
and too many.
Now you are going half a world away.
I wish you luck my love.
Standing I look out, at the restless sea.
For a few moments,
an almost eternity.
I stand there seeing nothing,
but curling while rolling waves.
’Good luck and goodbye.’
I whispered in the breeze
before turning away,
heading back to n empty home
that is waiting for me.
The ghost of our love,
my only company.
As I reach the path,
there is a light on within.
My key slips into the lock,
it turns and the door opens.
Your silhouette stands there
with arms outstretched.
Is this just a ghost of out love?
Our fingertips touch
and my heart begins to beat once more.

Unemployed Boyfriend
This is going to sound a little obsessive
This is going to sound a little bit strange
I have one thing to say
Before I turn and I walk away
This is going to sound a little impulsive
This is going to sound a little insane
I know you don't know me yet
but you and I
we will be together
Someday
Someday
I know ... I know ... I sound like I'm on drugs
But listen to me now when I say..
That ever since I first saw you
Sitting on your car outside you asked for a cigarette
I couldn't stop staring at your eyes
Ever since when I first saw you
Looking bored in that plastic chair
With the lights of the office around you
Those blonde streaks
they look so pretty in your black hair
You look cool and alternative with that disaffected stare
You want people to think that you just don't care
Hey you can be with me 'cause I just might be the one
Who will treat you like you're perfect
Who will always make you come
You can be with me
I will always let you win
I will never be like those other guys
I will never be your unemployed boyfriend
This is going to sound a little bit out there
Yeah this is going to sound a little insane
But I keep having the same dream
That you will be the mother of my children someday
Someday..
I've heard you sleep with that obnoxoius guy
I know he is in that famous band
You look so sad when you are with him
I never see him reach to hold your hand
You can be with me

Precious
The ebb and flow of the tide
Will carry me forth into your arms
And though Ill miss you tonight
The thought of your love keeps me warm
As the moon comes out over the water
Precious and too sweet
I shall pray love your soul to keep
The river sleeping sound
I shall be dreaming deep of you
Soul will keep thee, rife and weepy, calling out to you
The dip and roar of the crowd
Will dizzy me forth into your arms
And if we pass it all around
Well be of the same point of view
As the world spins round, here everafter
Precious and too sweet
I shall pray love your soul to keep
The river sleeping sound
I shall be dreaming deep of you
On a bed of silver sand
Ill take you lightly by the hand
And well dance on by the moon
I shall be dreaming deep of you
Shattered, dreamy, calm and sweetly, fool enough for two
When the stars play hide and seek
I shall be dreaming deep of you (I shall be dreaming)
Precious and too sweet
I shall pray love your soul to keep (I shall be praying)
On a bed of silver sand
Ill take you lightly by the hand (I shall be dreaming)
And well dance on by the moon
I shall be dreaming deep of you (I shall be praying)

I Cant Make It Alone
(gerry goffin / carole king)
Now you know me
You know how proud I am
And what Im gonna tell you now
Wont be easy to say
Before I left your side
Ooh, I was so happy then
But Ive been so lonely
Since Ive been away
Oh, baby
Ive tried and I know I cant make it alone
Its such a hard way to go
I just cant make it alone
Theres something in my soul
That will always
Lead me back to you
What can I say now?
Sorry is just not good enough
I couldnt blame you if you hurt me now
The way I hurt you then
But who else can I turn to?
Oh, baby, Im begging you
Wont you reach out for my dying soul?
And make me live again
Oh, baby, its so hard
Ive tried and I know I cant make it alone
Its such a hard way to go
I just cant make it alone
Theres something in my soul
That will always
Lead me back to you
Baby, help me
Ive tried and I know I cant make it alone
Its such a hard way to go
And I cant make it alone
Theres something in my soul
That will always
Lead me back to you
Oh, help me
(please help me)
You know I need you
(I need you)
Im saying that I need you
I just cant make it by myself
(I just cant make it by myself)
I just cant make it all alone
(I just cant make it all alone)
I just cant make it by myself
(I just cant make it by myself)

Forgotten Ship
A wind tossed ship lost at sea
heavy tempest blowing mightily
even that harbor light
which shines so bright
never to return my love to me
The sea, that judgmental sea
claimed the one promised to me
and no one who heard it could explain
the mysterious sound the waves made
The lighthouse searches the sound
for that forgotten ship never found
I walk the shipyard late and pray
to catch a glimpse of that familiar face
When the evening settles down, I sleep
an empty place beside me
lately having the same dream
I remember only partially
I hear a sound, forgotten yet familiar
I rise from my troubled slumber
and walk out to the open shore
which meets the sea as a door
I then see a man dragged to shore
drowned, why nobody knows
someone says it was insanity
trying to swim out to sea
The dream ends, I wake again
I listen to the sound the waves send
listening closer now to the bay
I hear my name called so faint

The Ocean
1969 live version
--------------------------------------------
Here comes the ocean
And the waves down by the shore
Here comes the ocean
And the waves down by the sea
Earth is a hollow hair bought of a bigger head
It nearly drives me crazy
I am a lazy son
I never get things down
...(unknown)
But here comes the waves
Down by the shore
Washing the eye of the land
That has been down by the sea
Down by the sea
Down by the sea
Down by the sea
Here comes the ocean and the waves
Down by the shore
Here comes the ocean and the waves
Down by the sea
(incense or in sex or insects) for evil thoughts, thought of by selfish men
It nearly drives me crazy
I am a lazy son
I never get things done
...(unknown)
Here comes the waves down by the shore
Washing the eye of the land that has been down by the sea
Down by the sea
Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Peel slowly and see version
---------------------------------------------
Here comes the ocean
And the waves
Down by the sea
Here comes the ocean
And the waves
Where have they been?
Silver and black with night
Heres to a summers night
An empty splendid castle
Glowering alone at night
The princess has had a fright
Madness seeks out the lover
And here come the waves down by the shore
Washing the soul of the body
That comes from the depths of the sea
Here comes the ocean
And the waves down by the sea
Here comes the ocean
And the waves, where have they been
Dont swim tonight my love
The tide is out my love
Malcoms curse haunts our family
Oh yes, loud in which, ruler of filthy seas, revelling heavans justice
And here come the waves
And save for a scream
Theres much like a song
To be heard, in the wind, that blows by the sea.
Like the wind
Here come the waves,
Here come the waves,
Here come the waves

Ocean
Here comes the ocean
And the waves down by the sea
Here comes the ocean
And the waves where have they been
Dont swim tonight my love, the sea is mad my love
Its known to drive men crazy
Malcolm has burned at sea, the castle it sits and reeks
The madness can make you hazy
But here come the waves
Down by the shore
Washing the rocks that have been here
Centuries or more
Down by the sea
Here come the ocean
And the waves down by the sea
Here comes the ocean
And the waves where have they been
Castles glowing at night, towers above out fright
Warlocks decapitating
Malcolm he lives on hate, serve your brain on a plate
Feasts on your mouth for dinner
But here come the waves
Down by the sea
Washing the eyes of the men
Who have died
Down by the sea
Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Here come the waves

Voyage to the Depth
Voyage to the Depth
By: Adam M. Snow
Woe unto us, one of many,
Yet was not the foe-of any-
Unto us the storm crashing tides,
But to sail on, voyage to the depth.
I envy Seas, whereon we rides-
By thee captain side, I stand tall.
Waves crashing upon the haul,
The creaks of soaked oaken rot.
A sound throughout the ship had caught.
Tossing and turning, the ship sailed not.
The thoughts of death upon us all,
Among this time, we all stand tall.
We await the time calming sea,
To sail this voyage once again.
We know not the curse may be,
But we know to sail on to the depth.
None-the-less to live on dreaming,
As we sail the moonlit tides gleaming.
A glistening light in the far distance,
Our only hope to our existence.
That might prove useful and yet never proves.
Closer we are, the further it moves.
Lest not give up hope,
For many should cope.
A journey seen fit till the end.
I should not dare to leave my friend,
But if we do not see the shore again,
I make mend of my very sin.
But the stormy seas rages still,
This voyage ceases to thrill.
Lightning clashes throughout the sky.
A time like this, all things must die.
Journey on to that dark horizon,
Until our bodies rot and wizen
All but I am sickened for home,
Out at sea, do we roam.
Many are ill since lost at sea,
All now knows what our curse may be.
Traveled the world, many times till now,
Onto the depth, our soul soon sail.
We leave behind our eternal vow,
Our promise to return to our love somehow.
We now sail down the river Styx,
Free from the havoc ocean tides.
Lost at sea, not a month but six,
As we leave behind our many brides.
Our vision's clearer than ever before,
Our voyage ends, not a glimpse of shore.
Our soul sails on, unto the abyss,
Our life's voyage went amiss.
We leave behind a story untold,
Many a child to whom never hold.

Solitude Of The Waves
SOLITUDE OF THE WAVES
Melvin Banggollay
As the tide of the ocean rises high
to kiss the lovely breast of the shore,
flocks of birds keeps on flying high
over the blue ocean's widest floor,
the winter breeze shares its delight
of coldness I can't long endure
while i'm in solitude of solemn sigh
reflecting deeply if I can still endure
memories written with every tides
of a love once build upon this shore.
The shore was filled with serenity
as the moonlight radiance glow,
When I heard her whisper softly
in my ears promises I never knew
have only faithless spirit and beauty
of a love and romance she bestow
that filled my heart with so much glee
that even the waves dances with joy
with the happiness that bewildered me
on that one lucky night upon this shore.
but now as I walk alone this beach
The waves seems come to me to fade
with lonely smile as they try to reach
and take back the footprints I laid
upon the shore once been the seat
of a love now only in memory be made
as teardrops in my eyes start to heat
and melt down again for a decade
of pain and agony as memory unseat
and keep on coming back like waves.

Calm of the Sea
the whole day
the coconut leaves rustle
and punctuate
our tete a tete
allowing us to savour
the fineness of the tropics
the warm wind
titilates our senses
in way only humans
could know
the whole day
by the beach
the waves roar
leaping against the pier
a little sampan
bobs up and down
the sound of a
young couple on love bed
an enclosed
insect circling
a case looking for
the crevice of freedom
the sea crushes on and on
in the waves
i seek a calm
my worries trail its sound
emptied as the bubbles
burst into nothing
the sea of desires
that tugs at my heart
i submerge in the vast morass of water
left on the sand
pensive footsteps
lead me to my thoughts of Buddha
his walk to enlightenment
away from the ceaseless
waves of wants
that pound against
the human heart day after day
in these footsteps
i find zen
a calm in the frenzy of waves and wind
nirvana
where the sea
remains so serene
it reflects the peace
of all around

O My Love and Would Be! Where Were You Born?
O my love and would-be!
Where were you born?
In which land..which place..which street?
Are you younger..or equal or older to me?
Have you begun your search of me as I now?
Have you broadcast your mysterious signals in space
As my signals grope for yours all over the world?
What you expect of me..wealth or charm
Or strength...or love or status?
What are your dreams of life?
Would we make up a match?
Or fate tricks two diverging hearts into a choking knot?
I stray in every direction clueless and tired..
Sound your bugle loud and bold?
Even a faint call of love would add wings to my soul...
O that precise moment!
For what you await lurking in shadows...
No more breath to subsist on my dreams..
The heart aches..the wait scorches..
The loneliness licks my blood..
O winds! pick my pair's whispers joltless into my ears..
Bring the hot scent of born-for -me
So that I can scale heights and waves
To reach the half of me;
The moon teases me
And the stars heckle me-..
O my half! rush into me
To make me full!

On a stormy sea
When the waves of the sea
became bigger and the wind
started to blow at storm strength,
the boat didn’t sail anymore
and it rocked in the waves
bobbing up and down in the water.
The men were afraid of death
while the Christ
walked on the stormy sea between the waves,
scared to sink and afraid of drowning
and also of seeing a ghost
appearing on the water,
but His calm voice brought serenity
to the wind, waves, sea and men on the boat.

I Can Love You
I cant stop your heart from breaking,
Cant make right mistakes weve made,
Cant dry your crying eyes,
For my little angels sake,
I cant make the sun keep smiling,
Or blow away the clouds,
Theres some things in this old world girl,
I cant do nothing bout,
But I can love you,
Like Ive always done,
And when the hard times come a knocking,
Honey you wont ever see me run,
I wont leave you,
When you need a friend,
Cant make the bad days that much better,
Baby than theyve ever been,
But I can love you,
Cant hold back the ocean waves,
Or stop a sinking ship,
Cant make a mountain move,
Or tell you how to live,
But I can love you,
Like Ive always done,
And when the hard times come a knocking,
Honey you wont ever see me run,
I wont leave you,
When you need a friend,
Cant make the bad days that much better,
Baby than theyve ever been,
But I can love you,
And I wont leave you,
When you need a friend,
Cant make the bad days that much better,
Baby than theyve ever been,
But I can love you,
But I can love you.

Sound Waves
You want to have fear?
Listen to what you hear
emanating on sound waves
approaching your ear.
Those media sound waves
will ramp up the scare.
They'll cloud up your dreams
and bring a nightmare.
You want to have peace
and the nightmare to cease?
Turn off those sound waves.
Let serenity increase.

Tricks Of My Fate
In the moonlit beach Marina,
very severe was the cold.
The waves shrouded in brightness
galloped towards the shore
and made me stand ‘way before. 5
Being a jobless youth,
the calm sea my mind would soothe.
But in that dead of night, I
went there to chase the waves
to the deep where it pearls saves. I0
Oh, some ghost is there
washing its feet in waves.
Stunned and breathless I was
rooted in that spot,
phantoms I had a lot. I5
Going to sink and die,
why I should fear for a guy.
Walking ahead a little,
heard I her groans and sobs
and weeping to leave this world. 20
“ Failure in love or life is
Common to humanfolk.
Suicide is not the track
to walk at, once you lass;
then the whole world will die alas”. 25
Leaving her safely at home,
trod I all the night.
I can’t leave this dim earth
unless He calls me there
by allowing some time to flare. 30.

After The Sea-Ship
AFTER the Sea-Ship--after the whistling winds;
After the white-gray sails, taut to their spars and ropes,
Below, a myriad, myriad waves, hastening, lifting up their necks,
Tending in ceaseless flow toward the track of the ship:
Waves of the ocean, bubbling and gurgling, blithely prying,
Waves, undulating waves--liquid, uneven, emulous waves,
Toward that whirling current, laughing and buoyant, with curves,
Where the great Vessel, sailing and tacking, displaced the surface;
Larger and smaller waves, in the spread of the ocean, yearnfully
flowing;
The wake of the Sea-Ship, after she passes--flashing and frolicsome,
under the sun, 10
A motley procession, with many a fleck of foam, and many fragments,
Following the stately and rapid Ship--in the wake following.

The Man Parts the Water
The man parts the water with a simple stone,
turning when the laughter
of a child retraces the shattered waves.
The man remembers with a smile
the days when he walked the shore,
dancing with silver-eyed seagulls, and he
was always looking ahead as he
stands and tilts releasing stone,
watching it sail through the misty shore.
The child parts the water with shrieking laughter,
and dreams about the day he will knowingly smile
as his cocked man-hand reaches the stormy waves.
Watching the moon pull the scornful waves
that kick the sand onto the shore, now he’s
the ghost of a child that stands with a smile.
He parts the water with a simple stone,
listening to the moon’s blue shaken laughter
at a man awaiting his golden hour upon the murky shore.
The grains whisper into the wind. And the shore
is crowded with memories of waves,
filling a young boy’s face with laughter.
It permeates the darkness, yet he
still craves the stone
to bring the man’s euphoric smile.
Caught in a moment without laughter or smiles,
walking along the shore
he wishes upon a simple stone
for another chance to play and frolic in waves.
The child sees his reflection with an anxious smile, and he
becomes a man between the laughter.
And he will always remember the laughter,
and he will always long for an innocent smile
of waiting for the day that unknowingly he
could never return to the shore.
Churning as it breaks the waves,
the past is left in simple stone.
But for now there is laughter upon the shore,
riding along the whispering waves,
the child’s future still a simple stone.

Dreams to Nightmares
I stare at the wall and close my eyes
I started to dream about parts of the world
Beaches to oceans to schools of fish
My dreams turn to nightmares after awhile
The cool, damp beach where sand comes to rest
The emptiness in the pastel blue sky
The sand placed perfectly in place
The smell of salt water against the shore
The crystal clear ocean calm as can be
The current not even moving sea life
Fish eating at the bottom by the sand
The sound of calm waves hitting the shore
The colorful fish ranging from green to blue
Fish from all different sizes
The sound of fish jumping out of the ocean
They swim without a government to follow
The beaches turn to cemeteries
The oceans turn dark gray, and fish floating dead
The sky black as can be with flashes of light
You wake up realizing life is so much different
