aLL AbOuT FaThEr
Tough from the out, soft inside,
With him begins life's ride.
A friend in enemy's disguise,
Will he ever take a son's side?
Answers concealed behind bitter questions,
His words often seem potent than his action.
He fails everytime a son succeeds, one feels,
Only to realize the truth as time flees.
Pa, Dad, Abbu, and the names son's keep,
When he's gone he makes a son's soul weep.

Let me recite you a poem
Come on
Let me recite you a poem
There are no charming words in it.
Nor there are soft loving words
Nor it shows dreams
Nor it talks sweet
It is very rough
It will agitate you
‘cause it tells the truth
Truth, which is very bitter
Truth, which irritates
Truth, which we dislike
This poem is the epic of truth
Truth, which is always being defeated
Victory of bad over good
And truth thrown out n’ marginalized
But never surrenders
It is never centrist
It questions
Seeks answers
Never confuses in the maze of words
It solves the knots
Itself suffers- never subjugates
Since centuries
In every age
Since the birth of man
This poem remembers them all
Who died for the truth!

Couple Of Weeks
What makes a man weak
What makes a man strong
What makes him consider
The first or the latter
What he’s lost
what he’s won
If it all ever really mattered
There’s something about a biopsy
That can cause a man
to ponder
Over all the things he has
And what he’s done
And what’s over the horizon
Yonder
Waiting can do that
To a conflicted man, it’s truth
Makes him conjure up answers
To questions he seeks
Makes him know he’ll have answers
To at least some of the questions
Within a couple of weeks

Enemy
A Little Piece, of everything
Thats ever been or will
Is shining for you still
Look up
Start from start, and try again
To see it through the smoke
And the mirrors that you've broke
For love
(Chorus)
And it feels like something just stole my spirit
Snook up on me when i couldnt hear it
But i can see the enemy
Hes done alright for me
And somwhere inside of me i can see
My enemy
Pick a window, Pick a sight
Its just a choice you make
Another little break
In us
Time and time, and time again
You see it through the cracks
Bitter words you like
Is enough
(Chorus)
(guitar solo)
But i can see the enemy
Hes done alright for me
And somwhere inside of me i can see
My enemy

Who Knows Where The Poem Begins?
WHO KNOWS WHERE THE POEM BEGINS/
Who knows where the poem begins
And where the inner singing starts?
Who knows when the words are lost inside
And can never be what they really mean?
The questions of our lives we live with
Are greater than the answers we can give
Time will not tell us everything
But only deepen the mysteries
We will take to the grave with us.

Probing Questions
Is there something more to life, than endless days of toil and strife?
Is there something after all of this; a Hell below or a Heavenly Bliss?
Can there truly be life after death, this when we take our final breath?
That question always asked is why; do innocent people have to die?
Why do righteous people perish, while evil seems to always flourish?
Friend is there truly a Living God, who rules above the earth we trod?
And does God truly care for us; mortal beings that return to the dust?
Can anyone have true peace of mind, in this world that is so unkind?
Why’s there evil darkness everywhere, if He is a God filled with care?
And why would a God full of love, simply sit and watch from above?
These are just a few of many more, questions asked about my Lord,
Questions that you may have asked; some in the not so distant past.
Many questions are Satan’s reproof, to keep many from God’s Truth,
Let none of them keep you from, Christ who from Heaven has come,
With answers to these and more, on questions about Heaven’s Door.
The Spirit leads to God’s Word, with the answers to questions heard,
Eternal answers which you will find, fill your heart not just your mind.
Where God not just answers them, but gives new life to all my friend.
Then all the questions are second to, the Eternal Life He’s given you.
And now an answer in my life, is to Heaven I’m going in Jesus Christ.

Paper Dolls
All around me
This feeling has taken over me
Thank God you feel it too
Cos words would fail me
And the spirits did bless this
For getting on that road
We were taken to a place
Magical yet true
As day becomes the night
Love is in my life
Nothing I have known
Ever felt so right
Theres no more that I can do
Than to fall a little more in love with you
Here we are and were paper dolls
And were side by side
Here we are on the magic ride
Just for you and i
Everytime I look into your eyes
I fall a little more in love
Everytime takes me by surprise
I fall a little more in love with you
Do do do yeah
Do do doo
I fall a little more in love with you
Its becoming the one thing
That I want to last
And theres never time enough
The hours go too fast
As day becomes the night
Love is in my life
Nothing I have known
Ever felt so right
Theres no more that I can do
Than to fall a little more in love with you
Here we are and were paper dolls
And were side by side
Here we are on the magic ride
Just for you and i
Everytime I look into your eyes
I fall a little more in love
Everytime takes me by surprise
I fall a little more in love with you
Do do do
Do do doo
Mmmm
I fall a little more in love with you
Do do do yeah
Do do doo
I fall a little more in love with you
Everytime I look into your eyes
I fall a little more in love
Everytime takes me by surprise
I fall a little more in love with you

Questions
It's everything we do while we're here
A fear or a thought, a feeling or a dream
Touch it and taste it, breathe it all in
Say what you feel, things aren't what they seem
Why live, why breathe,
Why breed, why die?
These questions all tied up inside
It's all or nothing or what you make it
A prize or a secret, Which path do you take
Decisions and gambles, a goal to be scored
Risks and lies We all make mistakes
Why live, why breathe,
Why breed, why die?
These questions all tied up inside
Thoughts without pictures
Looks without seeing
Words without reason
Touch without feeling
Life is your reward
Not to be ignored
Why ask the questions when there's no answer?
Why play the game when there's no way to win?
Why ask the questions when there's no answers?
Why seek the truth when the truth is within

Everytime I Make Love To You
(eric carmen/andy goldmark/steve kipner)
When this world gets a little crazy
Theres a place here just for you
Come around and Ill be waiting
Baby, Ill chase away your blues
cause no one else compares with you baby
No one makes me feel like you do
I wanna hear you whisper my name
Everytime I make love to you
Feels like the first time
Whoa-oh baby, from the very first touch
I need you, I need you, I want you so bad
Its all that my heart understands
Everytime I make love to you
Feels like the first kiss
Whoa-oh baby, never felt like this
No one could love me the way that you do
Everytime we make love
Let me kiss you soft and tender
Feel your heart beat next to mine
In your arms, baby, I surrender
I want to be with you all the time
cause no one else compares with you baby
No one makes me feel like you do

Whoa-oh baby, it never felt like this
cause no one could love me the way that you do
Everytime we make love
Ooh baby, now my hearts on fire
I only want to show you my desire
And Ill do anything you want me to do
If you tell me your secrets
And show me your dreams
Im the one who could make then come true
Everytime
Everytime I make love to you
Feels like the first time
Whoa-oh baby, from the very first touch
I need you, I need you, I want you so bad
Its all that my heart understands

Tightrope Ride
You're on a tightrope ride, nobody by your side
Well, you're all alone, gotta find a new home
Don't go over the line. You better keep on time
Or you'll lose your mind on your tightrope ride
Watch out, don't fall! Careful, don't slip!
You better get your balance, you have to feel the way
There are no more questions, no answers today
There are no reasons, there are no more rhymes
But if you feel it, you can fly next time
You can fly next time, or maybe this time
Did you think we were all together?
Did you think we were all the same?
Did you think maybe I could help you
Remember your name, remember the game
What's the name of the game
It's a very good game, never stays the same
It's the number one from mud to sun
You're on a tightrope ride, we're all by your side
But you're all alone, and we're going home
And we're by your side, but you're all alone
Like a Rolling Stone, like Brian Jones
On a tightrope ride

Hunting Down Answers
good will hunting
hunting down answers
begins with knowing
asking right questions
i ask questions
questions are good
first the questions
then the answers
next applied an art of reason
where is truth where illusion
where deceit where delusion
where fabricated stealth collusion
jigsaw pieces found misplaced or lost
trail cold warm hot or made of frost
written data primary secondary forgery
forensic clues credibility elementary
preconceptions prime misdirection
story written story read is between lines
audience appeal sharpens attention
truth plot blind thickens deceit quickens
the truth the whole truth nothing but truth
testimony corresponds to facts accuracy
true sincerity true statements error made
life stories real misty truth untruth reality

Much a Do About Nothing
Too much time to wait
Too much nonsense to talk
Do we realize?
We much a do about nothing
Too many thought for trivial thing
Too much pride for simple matter
Will we realize?
We much a do about nothing
Too much hatred in watching
Too much angst in reading
Could we realize?
We much a do about nothing
Too much energy to laugh
Too much bitterness to share
Though we realize
We much a do about nothing
Too many advices to keep the health
Too many rules to guide our life
And then we realize
We much a do about nothing
Too many strategies to win the battle
Too much work to pay the bill
But we realize
We much a do about nothing
Too much emotion to reason failure
Too many questions to prove loyalty
When we realize
We much a do about nothing
Too much formality for an action
Too many lies for denial
So we realize
We much a do about nothing

Boys To Men
Growing up can be a pain
Youre not an man until you come of age
Weve given up our teenage years
In the effort to pursue our career
Who assumes responsibility
Of having to support our families
Whos protecting us from harm
Is there anyone around
That we can trust
So we search for answers to our questions
Looking for answers
No answers but were taught a lesson everytime
Through mistakes weve learned to gather wisdom
Lifes responsibility falls in our hands
Keep on learning
Keep on growing
cause wisdom helps us understand
Were maturing
Without knowing
These are the things that change boys to men
Oh the goals we set may exceed reality
Cause failurealways a possibility
Who can tell us that were wrong
Its up to us to figure out
What life is all about
So we search for answers to questions
Looking for the answers
No answers but were taught a lesson everytime
Through mistakes weve learned to gather wisdom
cause wisdom helps us see our responsibility.

Everytime
It was 3AM when you woke me up
Then we jumped in the car
And drove as far as we could go
Just to get away
We talked about our lives
Until the sun came up
Now I'm thinking about
How I wish I could go back
Just for one more day
One more day with you
Everytime I see your face
Everytime you look my way
It's like it all falls into place
Everything feels right
Ever since you walked away
And left my life in disarray
All I want is one more day
That's all I need
One more day with you
When the car broke down
We just kept walking along
Til we hit this town
There was nothing there at all
But that was all okay
We spent all our money on stupid things
But if I look back now
I'd probably give it all away
Just for one more day
One more day with you
Everytime I see your face
Everytime you look my way
It's like it all falls into place
Everything feels right
Ever since you walked away
And left my life in disarray
All I want is one more day
That's all I need
One more day with you
Now I'm sitting here
Like we used to do
I think about my life
And how there's nothing I won't do
Just for one more day
One more day with you
Everytime I see your face
Everytime you look my way
It's like it all falls into place
Everything feels right
(Everything feels right)
Everytime I hear your name
Everytime I feel the same
It's like it all falls into place
Everything, everything feels right
You walked away
Just one more day
It's all I need
Just one more day with you

Instead Of Being A Pessimist
You want answers to your questions?
Ask yourself this...
What began the origin of those questions.
And...
How did they begin for you to exist.
You want a life you like?
Oppose to the one you don't?
Why have you chosen to dislike what you do?
And who enforced this dislike upon you.
Do you live with wishes to fulfill your dreams?
Or are you focused on others,
Who seem to have 'your' things.
Are you focused upon others,
Who seem to be living your life?
Doing those things,
You wish for you also to like?
Perhaps those questions you ask,
Are not yours afterall.
And perhaps those answers,
That have come to you answered...
You ignored them to disbelieve,
Those answers received...
Were not yours.
Because you spend your time,
In the minding of other people's business!
And your business,
You haven't given your time to see...
Succeed.
But your time is spent,
Lamenting others you despise and criticize.
You want answers to your questions?
Wait for therm patiently to come.
Before you impatiently decide,
To get up and leave.
Believing they can be found,
With you not around.
You want answers to your questions?
Ask yourself this...
What began the origin of those questions.
And...
How did they begin for you to exist?
Ask yourself that.
Instead of being a pessimist!

Denial
Here I am in a house full of doors but no exits
In a light that is grey like the stain on my windows
All of this is a gift, such a painful companion
Inside of me
Its just something I know, the answers not there
It comes and it goes and it frightens me
Its just something I know, the answers not there
It comes and it goes and it frightens me
This feeling inside me cant confront the decay
To fall down on my knees and resume this charade
Believe me, this distance, its not what I need
Inside of me
Its another story, some of it is blurred
I tried to understand him, I tried so hard
Time worked so well upon us inside of me
Inside my soul, inside my soul
Time worked so well upon us
Inside of me, inside my soul
Inside of me, inside my soul

Duality
Razel is your personality,
Melodie is your soul.
Melodie keeps you young,
Razel makes you old.
Razel controls you with lies,
Melodie tells you the truth
in no disguise.
Razel is the ego full of worries,
complaints and hate,
Melodie is peace, love and makes
you feel great.
Razel will finally learn in the end,
that she can become a better friend.
A better friend to herself, God and man,
Melodie will help her realize and understand.

Truth Is Wealth
Truth is power, truth is true wealth,
Truth is unequalled ultimate strength,
Truth makes soul its own king
And makes the angels in heaven sing,
Truth is joy, truth is sunshine,
Truth is heart's pristine sheen.
Truth is true friend if we side with it,
And the deadliest foe while stand against it,
Truth strikes terror in law-breakers' heart
And shakes those hearts that go short of it,
For truth is all, truth is tall,
No noble soul ever refrains from its call.
Truth is might, truth is true light,
Truth is the path always is right.

Saying the unspeakable
Such as President Obama
may not say it; but I
who am nobody, may speak it:
the God of many names and One
does not wish division;
you and I (there are no others?)
do not wish division;
who makes division?
Why do all seek an ‘enemy’?
The dispossessed invent an enemy
on whom to blame their plight;
the rich invent an enemy
to excuse their greed;
those who worship God under one name
make enemy of those who worship God
under another name;
even those who worship God under the same name
make sects in order to invent an enemy;
is it because it is easier
to make an enemy than a friend?
is it easier to fear
than to love?
is it easier to hate
than to love?
is it easier to count to two
than think of three or one?
do we feel more powerful
if we have an enemy?
and now we fire at enemies
invisible beyond the horizon..
are enemies more attractive
to our life than friends?
Tell me, poets, tell me, sages;
tell me, saints; oh tell me God;
tell me, arithmeticians:
when division multiplies
our enemies, why do we
so love division?
The God of many names and One
makes division in Himself
with love and without hate;
you and I (there are no others?)
love each other all the more
in the sameness of our differences;
does human kind
now hate itself so much?
who thinks division, loves division?
makes an enemy of otherness?
forgets that God is One?

Unbearable
Life sometimes seems unbearable
No relief in site
No matter how you try to forget someone
They are always there inside of you
Stuck there in some corner
Hidden so there is nothing you can do
Just when you think you have forgtten
The thought of them begins anew
Bringing back unanswered questions
Was it the right thing did I do
Or should have I waited
To see what you were going to do
Then these questions that haunt me
Would be answers that is very true
