Burning Tortured Effigies

I need time
To count the things that went wrong-
The innocence that once was so strong
Lies tattered-
A white dress,
Battered,
Torn,
Covered with mudstains…
Bloodstains.

Count the dreams-
The ones that never last,
But passed like stars
Into the distance,
Unreachable,
Fading into nothing, on the other side
Of the Black Horizon,

With one hand
I count the times you smiled,
Didn’t you hear?
Happiness is back in style,
Every moment of passion-
It is now the fashion to enjoy.

As darkness falls,
The world becomes a tomb,
Memories fade into an empty hell
Of forgotten wounds.
Instead of the sacred, promised sympathy,
They’re burning tortured effigies
of you.

The innocence of crystal,
Once so strong lies
Shattered…
It was just a matter of time
Before bruised and battered,
You fell behind.

Bad Day Fever

There is no bad day
It is the time when some bad things happened
and we let ourself down
Thinking it's bad
Yes, it's bad and nothing gonna change this day
to be the worst day in your life
You didn't count the time when you sleep and wake up
You didn't count wasting time with your air head
You didn't count the time you do common things daily
You even didn't count that you still breathe this time
The only thing that you think is the bad time
and let yourself down
Nothing will be change
Because you are the one who close your heart
and close all happiness gates with your little bad thing

Jimmy Neutron Theme

Jimmy Neutron Theme
Bowling For Soup
(Jimmy Neutron)
From here to the stars,
With my candy bars,
Rides a kid
With a knack
For inventions.
A super-powered mind,
A mechanical canine,
He rescues the day
From sure destruction.
He's gotta save the world
And get to school on time,
So many things to do
And not much time
So off the ground,
Up in the air,
Out into the atmoshpere,
Who can we count on?
Jimmy Neutron!
Who can we count on?
Jimmy Neutron!
Who can we count on?
Jimmy Neutron!
No matter where you are,
You know he can't be far,
Watching the world
Through x-ray vision
And whenever he's around,
Where adventure can be found,
You know that Jimmy Neutron's
On a mission
He's gotta save the world
And get to school on time,
So many things to do
And not much time
So off the ground,
Up in the air,
Out into the atmoshpere,
Who can we count on?
Jimmy Neutron!
Who can we count on?
Jimmy Neutron!
Who can we count on?
Jimmy Neutron!
Who can we count on?
Jimmy Neutron!
Who can we count on?
Jimmy Neutron!
Who can we count on?
It's Jimmy Neutron!

Time Passes

Time is passing while I am waiting
For true life to have some meaning-
Time is passing and I blindly
Count to ten upon my fingers-
Not knowing and not even able to distinguish
What is real from what is not?
One, two, three and the voices inside me won't stop commanding-
Four, five and six-
All I see are snakes within the bleakness and confinement of this room-
Seven, eight, and nine, and even through this dim light I believe I am being watched-
I count aloud to ten upon my fingers and
Time is passing and all that is all that I hear for the moment-
All that I see, I reach out to touch or to open my eyes to see-
Time has passed and everything is silent, without a trace of
Ever being near and once more I count,
Starting at seven, eight and then nine- watching the second hand on the wall clock and
Ten? Ten more hours to be locked inside of this empty, room where
The walls are barren and I am alone with my thoughts-
Time is passing and I would be running away, but there is nowhere to run to, except to
Places inside of my mind and one, two three and all that I see is
The walls of this empty room and a locked door-
I could count from one to a thousand and
Inside of this room I would remain- I could count to one million and
I would die before I even got there- so I count from one to three over and over because
Everything is seemingly easier when I am lost inside the world of my fantasies and
I realize now what is not truly real and threatening shall never harm me and
Time is passing and as I count, I am blissfully losing myself inside the world
I have made here inside of my mind for myself, alone…
This way time may pass even before the sun rises tomorrow, and then-and then?
My life perhaps shall have some meaning-

Lost Passion

Welcome hello, please take your seat
We leave now for a trip- in hell
Now we can start especially for you- join us now!
Shattered dreams, in shattered faces
Crawling off the stage
Forgotten heroes lost their passion, many years ago
Time after time in your life
Youre burning your world of illusions
Tearing your conscience apart
Lost passion
Now you can see, you can see what it means
To come to a world of lies, all such lies
Think about your destiny- the love you found
Was it just a dream, just a dream
Shattered dreams, in shattered faces...
Time after time in your life
Youre burning your world of illusions
Tearing your conscience apart
Lost passion- lost passion
Time after time in your life
Youre burning your world of illusions
Tearing your conscience apart
Lost passion- lost passion- lost passion
Solo
Time after time in your life...

Youll have to count me out

Youll have to count me out

Sugar Curls

You can count the stars
and the count will be incomplete.

You can count times
I've looked for you
in dreams
I've dreamed.

You can count the hours
I've marked,
my stomach knotting
etching time across my heart
since I've seen your face.

I know how many steps
to your house;
your phone number backwards;

the colors in your eyes,

how many sighs
I make
looking at your photograph.

If there in a number to infinity
then you can see me circling back;

starting again infinitely.

Lower me down to deepest depths
count my fathoms there
plumb these and more
for our ocean is endlessly
deep.

How many grains in beachy sand?
I know having sifted each.

What is the size of this love for you?
There is no count of instances,
for that is a number which cannot be reached.

Simply put
you count with me;
together we
count twice infinitely.

Oh so sweet
are the sugar
grains
whose white dotted
fractals
swirl
in our hearts;

rotating
Love Curls

circling
endlessly.

Someone To Get There

Time is an open book
We share our dreams together
And we will be who we want to be wherever
Life is a mystery
The world can be your saviour
But let love be your gravity forever
I'll take you to an endless dream
No matter how it all may seem
I know we'll find a way, never say "never"!
We all need someone to get there
If you just dare
You can count on me
Someone to get there baby!
We all need someone to get there
If you just dare
You can count on me
Someone to get there baby
Love can take us anywhere!
Nothing can stop us now
We're strong when we're together
And every step brings us closer now forever
I'll take you to an endless dream
No matter how it all may seem
I know we'll find a way, never say "never"!
We all need someone to get there
If you just dare
You can count on me
Someone to get there baby!
We all need someone to get there
If you just dare
You can count on me
Someone to get there baby
Love can take us anywhere!
We all need someone to get there, we can see love can take us anywhere
We all need someone to get there, we can see love can take us anywhere
We all need someone to get there, we can see love can take us anywhere
We all need someone to get there, we can see love can take us anywhere
Whooh Whooh Whooh
Oh yeah!
We all need someone to get there
If you just dare
You can count on me
Someone to get there baby
Someone to get there!
We all need someone to get there
If you just dare
You can count on me
Someone to get there baby
Love can take us anywhere!
Someone to get there
If you just dare
You can count on me
Someone to get there baby
Someone, somewhere, somehow?!
We all need someone to get there
If you just dare
You can count on me
Someone to get there baby
Love can take us anywhere!

Count Your Blessings

Everyday we should count our blessings,
for everything we have,
for somewhere in the world,
there are those who will never have,
all the things we take for granted.
So count your blessings for all the food you eat,
because somewhere some are starving,
and would give anything to eat.
Therefore, the next time you come home,
and sit in a comfortable chair,
stop for a moment and look around,
and count your blessing for everything you got.

A Thought For Your Anniversary

Don't count your decade
By the days that fade
Don't count your years
By the falling tears

Don't count your weeks
By the days that were bleak
Don't count your days
By the trouble's ways

Instead count your decades
By the things you have made
Count your years
By joys and cheers

Count your weeks
When you helped out a meek
And count your days
By cheers and prayers

That was sent for both of you
Along with God's love that is true
Because you're starting another year
Of peace and blessings, love and care.

Happy 4th Anniversary Sister

Question Marked Innocence

When we talked you promised
That you would never leave
Then I told you of the demons
And how they made me bleed

I made you promise crazy things
But your words weren’t enough
I couldn’t believe you loved me
I thought to love me was to tough

When I cry about my past
And say that I’m ashamed
I know that I am the one
Who is to be blamed
Then you hold me tight
And say that it’s okay
So I cry for my lack of innocence
And the things I couldn’t give away

When I can’t sleep through the night
And the memories start to hurt too much
I burn myself and tell you,
Because you’re the only one I trust
You say your better then you’re past
You tell me that I’m strong
You say that I’m the love of your life
But if you only knew
The kind of thoughts I think
And what I used to do
You tell me that it doesn’t matter
And that you love me anyway
So I cry for my stolen innocence
And the things I shouldn’t have given away

They all said my body lacked beauty
And it made my confidence fall apart
But when I let you look
You marveled at me like a work of art
I then held you close just to say
Remember this moment and don’t let it fade
So I cry for my question mark innocence
And the things I wish I gave away

I never felt a thing
Before I gave you my heart
And when those bad memories won’t fade
And I feel like I’ll fall apart
You will tell me you love me so
Then as you wrap your arms around me
And say you’ll never let me go
I know you really love me,
And you’ll keep me safe from harm
You know I’ve been hurt,
And abused in every kind of way
So I cry for my loss of innocence
And the things I gave away

Helplessly In Love

Verse 1:
My ears are gonna fade away
Without a word from you
My lips are gonna fade away
Without kissin you
cause Im missin you
Cant you see I feel helpless?
So alone here
Out of touch with all I love
So helpless
So helpless in love
Verse 2:
Forever is so long to wait
Well it seems like forever
It was so much more than fate
That brought us together
Together
Dont ya know i
Keep counting
The days til
I can see you again
So helpless
Im missin the love of my life
And my best friend
Chorus:
Oh, I cant count the stars in the sky
No matter how hard I try
Im helplessly in love and missin you
Cant think of anything else
Except how hard I feel
Im helplessly in love and missin you
Verse 3:
I know that its so hard to hear
The voice of reason
Its like goin from summer to winter
Unwanted change of season
Its not pleasin me baby
I cant see clearly
Even though the
Suns been lifted from my eyes
So clearly
til the day we said goodbye
Chorus
Cant count the stars in the sky
No matter how hard I try
Im helplessly in love and missin you
Cant think of anything else
Except how hard I fell
Bridge:
I used to wonder if you felt the same
I know you do and now its a different game
When someone you loves been taken away
Even though its not for long
It seems like forever and a day
Cant you see I feel helpless?
So alone here
Out of touch with all I love
So helpless
So helpless in love
Chorus
Cant count the stars in the sky
No matter how hard I try
Im helplessly in love and missin you
Cant think of anything else
Except how hard I fell
Cant count the stars in the sky
Im helplessly in love and missin you
Cant think of anything else
Except how hard I fell

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

At Set of Sun

If we sit down at set of sun,
And count the things that we have done,
And counting, find
One self-denying act, one word
That eased the heart of him who heard,
One glance, most kind,
That fell like sunshine where it went--
Then we may count that day well spent.

Or, on the other hand, if we,
In looking through the day, can see
A place or spot
Where we an unkind act put down,
Or where we smiled when wont to frown,
Or crushed some thought
That cumbered the heart--ground where it stood--
Then we may count that day as good.

But if, through all the life-long day,
We've eased no heart by yea or nay;
If through it all
We've done no thing that we can trace,
That brought the sunshine to a face--
No act most small
That helped some soul, and nothing cost--
Then count that day as worse than lost.

Happiness is......

Happiness is
Having someone by your side to love
You have that moment when things is going your way
One thing is happiness to me is you
When I see you and your cute smile
You make my darkness disappear
I feel happy and I know there is one person who can make my day bright
I'm happy to found you here
Happiness is
Mean to me is
Being Myself
What ever I accomplish, I'm proud of myself
It could be someone you crush on and
you can count on him or her to make you
Feel better when you're sad or drepressed
I know one person and he make me forget someone else and everything else I think about
Also I know I can count on someone to do that
Happiness is
Have the best day ever and
Everything is going my way
My life is turning out good
Happiness is

My Life, My Trial

Darkness has many secrets
But daytime shows all
My life is torn to pieces
But I will remain strong
Angels sing above me
But demons drag me to hell
I see my life before me
Like I’m under a type of spell
I await my trial in my cold, dead heart
And whisper these lies that will tear me apart
But when I am free, then you will suffer
My blade will go through your middle
And your blood will cleanse my torture.
This is my Life, My Trial
The plead for innocence is not for a while.
My heart is a cold, dead being
But my time has yet to be seen
So argue for your guilty innocence
While mine is to be guilty of conscience
So bleed from your mouth
And screw with my head
I will not rest until it is you who is dead.
I savor your inner-being
But it is you who will not be seeing
The lies and mockery of the everlasting soul
Will be yours to behold
In the Temples of Hell of which I am
Knowledge and power is mine to command

Little Things That Count

She said we could just sleep together,
Thered be nothing wrong.
We could just hold each other with our clothes on.
I went to answer, I dont think we should.
Then I heard a voice say, yeah, I guess we could.
She kissed me lightly and said you know sometimes when youre down,
Its the little things that count
Its the little things that count
Its the little things...
She said it was too late, I really shouldnt try to drive.
She unbuttoned my shirt and whispered just close your eyes.
Here, let me take your boots off, you know sometimes when your lucks run out
Its the little things that count
Its the little things that count
Its the little things...
Bridge: her dress rode lightly as she walked
Then she pulled the covers down.
(harmonica break)
Well I was so dry, she held a water glass to my lips,
And the polish on her nail was chipped.
She said she had a boyfriend that I reminded her of.
His hair was the same muddy brown; she stuck her tongue in my mouth...

Land Of Innocence

Nightfall in my childhood,
Memories of my future send
Their scent in my mind...

My life and my feelings now?
A knife through my heart,
Sins that torn apart
The once-innocent mind...

The moon’s glance falls over the
Garden of my childhood,
There, where beauty is still untainted,
When I was as fresh as the morning dew...
I remember those feelings so well,
I keep them hidden in a safe place,
Locked inside my heart!

I believed then in the snowy-egret nymph,
I thought she came to me at night,
And carried me above the water
Through the Danube Delta,
To see the secret lagoons
Covered up by weeping willows,
To see the black swans as they dance,
As they perform a sacred ritual of nature,
To see the pelicans as they sleep.
Gazing at the black egrets,
As the wind smoothes their soft feathers,
To see those black ballerinas
As they all reveal an unknown passion:
The passion for the night!

And my dreams were beautiful then,
My voice was clear and sweet,
My mind was innocent and true,
Not touched by the perverted hand of life...

And it’s true what the nymph said to me,
Looking in my eyes, singing softly to my ear:

“From cradle to coffin,
You shall dream,
You shall wish and hope!
But remember, innocence can never be lost,
You will always have it inside,
Take your memories, put them aside,
And you shall find it
Right there; innocence stays! ”

How can I break away from what I am now,
Who will take those tears away?
Was I punished for naivety? Or for innocence?

Yet the falling into the sinner
That I am today, was so mild...
The falling always comes
With the sweetest sensations!

I crave for another night of my childhood,
I crave for a journey back
In the land of living dreams,
The land of sweet torment,
Land of Innocence!

Memories keep on swinging back,
And they hit me with all of their great power...

The nymph looked upon me, every single night.
She once took my hand and placed it on my heart:

“Here, you shall look inside,
Here are your memories - pieces of life,
Here are your dreams – pieces of immortality,
Here is your energy and frenzy -
Pieces of your untamed soul,
Here is your innocence, and always will be,
You just have to look after it.”

The ballet on water was revealing itself
To my child eyes, to my mind...
A weeping willow was my shelter,
I saw the couples of swans,
As they gently, tenderly danced a waltz,
Gracefully, slowly...

I woke up the next morning, locking the secret inside.
The awakening from that beautiful dream,
Into the nightmare of today
Came with the biggest of pains:
Realizing what I am,
Realizing it will never be the same...
My heaven I feel as if it is lost,
My dreams, I feel I will never accomplish...

The awakening!
The falling!
The curse!

I crave for another night of my childhood,
I crave for a journey back
In the land of living dreams,
The land of sweet torment,
Land of Innocence!

I was dreaming every night,
I only had sincere smiles...
Now I cannot but fake them,
My nights are filled with bad dreams,
I fear someone has stole it away from me...

Can I still dream?
Should I dare to dream?
Should I dare to touch the innocence inside?
What if it’s not there anymore?

Nymph comeback to me again,
Only one more time...

Take me there,
To see the show that never ends,
Take me there,
To hear you sing to me again,
Take me there,
To be myself one more time...

Comeback snowy-egret nymph,
Un-fill my heart of regrets,
And fill it with dreams and child’s passions,
Un-do this course of adulthood,
Teach me how to find myself,
To find my own dreams!
I do not dare to dream anymore...

Silence all those
Hell-voices from my mind! ! !

The awakening!
The falling!
The course!

Dear white, frail nymph
Bring me only Innocence,
It is all: mystery, passion,
Dream, love...
But most importantly,
Innocence is Poetry!

Snowy-egret nymph,
I shall dream about you tonight...

Dawn in my childhood,
Memories of my past send
Their poetry in my mind...

Count It All As Joy

Count it all as joy!
Even the pain of living,
You believe has increased...
Can and will cease to be.
If the grip you hold.
Loosens to let grief go!
And,
That is okay...
If it goes away.
It is not meant to stay,
To have you in despair that way!
Count it all as joy!

If you did not experience sorrow,
How would you recognize happiness?
Count it all as joy!

If you did not know struggle...
Or a burden to bear.
How would you know a gladness,
That appeared in your heart to share?
Count it all as joy!

If you did not know loss,
And the agony connected.
How can you appreciate...
A peace of mind and reflect it?
Count it all as joy!

Even those rough times,
Appearing along your path...
Aren't there to paralyze you,
As obstacles in your view.
To subdue there to last!
Count it all as joy!

Trial and tribulations?
Even take 'them' and celebrate.
You are awaiting,
To be showered with treasures.
Know it and keep 'that' to anticipate.
Count it ALL as joy!

Maintain a steadfastness in your praises.
To God...
And do not for a moment,
Contemplate a doubt in hesitation.
God prepares every wish to be delivered.
Know you are blessed,
With each test you receive!
Perceiving 'this' as it is!
Depend on this.
And count it all as joy.


Dedicated:
Mrs. Eula Shamberger
Hartford, Connecticut

'Thank you, Eula.
This has been the first time I have been inspired
to begin and finish a composition in the presence
of the person who provided that inspiration!
We both were there in your office January 29th 2008
when you said 'Count It All As Joy'. And I could not
leave until this 'poem' was completed in its entirety!
THAT has never happened to me before. This was
indeed a message...a blessing! And I am very grateful! '

Be Strong

I cannot count the tears
Nor can I count the hate
Though I can only count
The men that hate didi take.

I cannot curse the World
Nor can I curse the few
Though I wish I could only curse
The Men that hate did knew.

I wish there was no pain,
I wish there was no grave,
But I know that will never be,
For like the rain, it comes everyday.

We are Given life,
And we are given death,
We are then given the choice,
To make it the worst or best.

I cannot count the bullets
Nor can I count the hate,
Though I can only count,
The Graves, where dreams are laid.
