Cosmos Thrilling Madness, -My Empress! To Loveangel Dean, -a token of friendship.
Thank you for your kindness/
'My whole heart rises to bless'/
My humble link finds a phase
In the solitude of my Empress/
The tattered and the flattered are gone/
There is no even the residue of fun
/ The joy of unknown has flown
Away all the traps of animal –mind
And somewhere in no where
/Say a complete bare
You, dearest I find.
The craving-burden,
And burden for cravings,
Prove miserable the honey dwellings,
And cancer desires flicker,
The masquerades for nothing. The
Hey tinged glow,
Hey light-mediated flow,
Hey cosmos-thrilling madness,
I have loved you O –my Empress.

To feel good…
To know and be known
Is ego’s cravings.
To tempt men and forbid
Is woman’s cravings.
To pursue women
Is man’s high cravings.
To receive and respond
Is senses’ cravings.
To hope and imagine
Is mind’s cravings.
To pity and love
Is heart’s cravings.
Cravings must find their food
For humans to feel good.

A Requisition to the Queen
Smiths Buildings No. 19
Patons Lane,
Dundee.
Sept the 6th. 1877.
Most August! Empress of India, and of great Britain the Queen,
I most humbly beg your pardon, hoping you will not think it mean
That a poor poet that lives in Dundee,
Would be so presumptous to write unto Thee
Most lovely Empress of India, and Englands generous Queen,
I send you an Address, I have written on Scotlands Bard,
Hoping that you will accept it, and not be with me to hard,
Nor fly into a rage, but be as Kind and Condescending
As to give me your Patronage
Beautiful Empress, of India, and Englands Gracious Queen,
I send you a Shakespearian Address written by me.
And I think if your Majesty reads it, right pleased you will be.
And my heart it will leap with joy, if it is patronized by Thee.
Most Mighty Empress, of India, and Englands beloved Queen,
Most Handsome to be Seen.
I wish you every Success.
And that heaven may you bless.
For your Kindness to the poor while they are in distress.
I hope the Lord will protect you while living
And hereafter when your Majesty is ... dead.
I hope the Lord above will place an eternal Crown! upon your Head.
I am your Gracious Majesty ever faithful to Thee,
William McGonagall, The Poor Poet,
That lives in Dundee.

A Journey
The dream hangs heavy in the air,
Heavier still is the burden on his back,
The child trudges along the dusty road
His mother in tow –
The sun rises and sets on him
A child, a boy, a man
The burden shifting between the back and the heart!
They try desperately to reach out to light,
Before the darkness wears them out.

Early Confinement
Sunshine, sunshine turns darkness
My life within your nothingness
Horrified, immobilized, uncivilized mind
I can see as I am blind
The sorrow consumes me occasionally
Fantasy traps me from reality
Are you hiding, hiding in the light
Lost, found, devastated by the heart's fight
Free me now, destroy me later
Feed me now, do me a favor
Cast me out of this confinement
An early burden, a coffin's compliment
I've played the song so wrong
The crowd has screamed so long
Can't you see the burden in me
Would you take the chance, to set me free

Peace In A Palace
'You were weeping in the night,' said the Emperor,
'Weeping in your sleep, I am told.'
'It was nothing but a dream,' said the Empress;
But her face grew gray and old.
'You thought you saw our German God defeated?'
'Oh, no!' she said. 'I saw no lightnings fall.
I dreamed of a whirlpool of green water,
Where something had gone down. That was all.
_'All but the whimper of the sea gulls flying,
Endlessly round and round,
Waiting for the faces, the faces from the darkness,
The dreadful rising faces of the drowned._
'It was nothing but a dream,' said the Empress.
'I thought I was walking on the sea;
And the foam rushed up in a wild smother,
And a crowd of little faces looked at me.
They were drowning! They were drowning,' said the Empress,
'And they stretched their feeble arms to the sky;
But the worst was--they mistook me for their mother,
And cried as my children used to cry.
_'Nothing but a whimper of the sea-gulls flying,
Endlessly round and round,
With the cruel yellow beaks that were waiting for the faces,
The little floating faces of the drowned.'_
'It was nothing but a dream,' said the Emperor,
'So why should you weep, dear, eh?'--
'Oh, I saw the red letters on a life belt
That the green sea washed my way!'--
'What were they?' said the Emperor. 'What were they?'--
'Some of them were hidden,' said the Empress,
'But I plainly saw the L and the U!'
'In God's name, stop!' said the Emperor.
'You told me that it was not true!
_'Told me that you dreamed of the sea gulls flying,
Endlessly round and round,
Waiting for the faces, and the eyes in the faces,
The eyes of the children that we drowned._
'Kiss me and forget it,' said the Emperor,
'Dry your tears on the tassel of my sword.
I am going to offer peace to my people,
And abdicate, perhaps, as overlord.
I shall now take up My Cross as Count of Prussia--
Which is not a heavy burden, you'll agree.
Why, before the twenty million dead are rotten
There'll be yachting days again for you and me.
Cheer up!
It would mean a rope for anyone but Me.'
_'Oh, take care!' said the Empress. 'They are flying,
Endlessly round and round.
They have finished with the faces, the dreadful little faces,
The little eyeless faces of the drowned.'_

You Is A Lover
you is a lover
clear with no snack cover
a lover
that cares
and shares
you is a friend
that comforts from then til end
a friend...
that with love
needs no glove
but palm hands to hold you with care
as you stare...
in my eyes
to your eyes
a love i see
and giving thanks unto thee
for who we be
and mine is what you see
yours is all i see (too)
that...
you is a lady
with the means and no may be
with affection, not crazy
emotional, not lazy
'cos you is a lady
for dreams are fading
and faded long but craving
for love in realness is heavy
when none is creating
a love, but saving
a love for our own making
you is an empress
of kindness
and royalness
not with blindness
for we see over yonder
and make dem wonder
how we made it with no blunder
you is a lover
and me is a lovee
but, you is a lovee
and me is a lover
we all love
to be loved
and loved
to love

2.21 Man & Animal
Of what difference does there be,
Between man and animal to see,
Not instincts common and so dear,
As sex, hunger, sleep, want or fear.
[122] - 2
Distinguishing man from animal be,
Not the desires, craving or the body,
But his sense and the divine light -
Of what be wrong and what be right.

Burden
You could say I might find it difficult
To show it on the outside
From far away
I should seem as ordinary as would seem the truth
But all we find
Dishonesty and lies
Its hard to recognize the truth
And why cant I discover what the reason is
That I know theres something left that I should prove
I didnt mean to burden you
Is there something more to this?
I didnt mean to burden you
Is there something more to this?
Was it something that Ive already missed?
Peel away the fear that Im not good enough
To give back what Ive taken
Its hard to say
The dissappointment tends to make
The optimism fade
Im still behind and running out of time
Its nothing but a trite excuse
And why cant I discover what the reason is
That I know theres something left that I should prove

What will be of us?
Struck by the thoughts of a man in wonder,
Behold, can you find beauty in my story,
Being happy of today, yet for tomorrow i worry,
Eager to possess what my heart desires,
The fortune that is always fragile to me,
Im tortured by the thoughts of loving you,
Im haunted by the memories of having you,
Im missing the days we never had,
Yet thinking the days that awaits us,
What will be of us my dearest
Its much harder than I thought,
Yet much better than we perceived,
I saw you wanted nothing of me,
Yet I saw you needed something of me,
The winter approached and it shall pass,
The rains shall pour and flow also,
Yet my heart is certain and unwavering,
The love mine, yes im determined,
Such is also my trust, im not afraid
I am glued to you as honey to bees,
Yet so sweet the honey I dont consume,
Talk to me, what will be of us
The days will surely come and go,
The wind will blow and obviously ease,
While the sun rises and absolutely set,
Unfolding new myths and realities,
The experience of life turning out,
Discoveries fashioning our fate,
Knowing you is knowing me,
I ask, what will be of us

Owen Aherne And His Dancers
A STRANGE thing surely that my Heart, when love had come unsought
Upon the Norman upland or in that poplar shade,
Should find no burden but itself and yet should be worn out.
It could not bear that burden and therefore it went mad.

See and Understand
I want you to see and understand
The burden on my heart and brain
The burden which weigh more than my body
The burden which weigh more than the mountains
The burden that no one else can feel, except me
The burden which vague everything, even me
But
Everything is invisible and hidden behind so many curtains
Whenever I try, something stops me to be open in front of this world
May be this world don't care and don't want to see, what's inside
Thoughts and tears are my biggest treasure
The treasure no one can steal
Because no one wants to be under that burden
I want you to see and understand my silence as well
Because this silence wants to reveal a lot of things
This silence wants to be heard and fell
It is killing me, it's want to be free and this silence wants to fly in the sky
This silence which is getting rebellious now
This silence don't want to be controlled
It's making me helpless and weak
It wants to be broken now, like a mirror
And every shattered piece of that mirror will be unique
Understand my silence

We can easily manage if we will only take, each day, the burden appointed to it. But the load will be too heavy for us if we carry yesterday's burden over again today, and then add the burden of the morrow before we are required to bear it.

Lay Down (The Burden Of Your Heart)
Lay Down By Amy Grant
It's a cold, cold world
That we walk in through.
Lay down the burden of your heart.
But it's warm as toast
Walking two by two,
Lay down the burden of your heart.
Lay down the burden of your heart.
I know you'll never miss it.
Show your Daddy where it hurts,
And let your Daddy lift it.
It's a fine, fine line
Betwixt love and hate.
Why, it's tough to tell the two apart.
But you know it's love
That He offers you.
Lay down the burden of your heart.
Lay down the burden of your heart.
I know you'll never miss it.
Ohh-ohh, show your Daddy where it hurts,
And let your Daddy lift it.
Lay down the burden of your heart.
I know you'll never miss it.
Ohh-ohh, show your Daddy where it hurts,
And let your Daddy lift it.
Ohh-ohh, show your Daddy where it hurts,
And let your Daddy lift it.

A Prison of Solitude
A prison of solitude
To which I am thrown
The empty walls and rooms
The soundless corridors
The drawn-out night
What madness grows here
That no other does see
How lonely I find
The sleepless bed
The loveless air
The void of conversation
The dying romance of the candle
This isolation
This so complete nothingness
I am kept at distance
From a world I do not know
In this place of madness
A prison of solitude
To which I have been thrown

My Interest
I can’t express how you’ve peaked my interest
The true beauty that you posses
You are a goddess and an empress
My life has just begun my sweetness
Some have wisdom yet they are not wise
For they can’t see the goodness in your eyes
Short but sweet, petite and neat
Please let me sweep you off your feet
Caught like a dear in headlights
Let me spend all my days and nights
Call on me whenever you will
All your dreams I'll try to for fill
I will live up to everything you've wanted
By your charm now I am haunted
Caught in your web I will not put up a fight
Do with me as you will to your delight
Here's to you I give a toast
Now on this will be our milepost
Raise your glass and take two sips
For I now dream of kissing your lips
Hold me close in your loving arms
Fill me up with all your wonderful charms
To the test I shall not waste not a single drop
desires at your command chop-chop
I will make your heart sing a new song
Your cravings I shall prolong
You will stay in my heart and mind
You are so loving, gracious, and kind
For me if you would take a second look
For you I would walk on glass barefoot
Now take me, take me as I am
You'll be my queen and I the king of Siam
Lead me for I now I can
Let me be your one and only man
Never I be smug nor try to be too clever
Let me love you from here on till forever

I Think You Are Right
when you said that it is harder
to hide something which is not there
i tried to think upon such a paradox
of hiding nothing
you are right
when there is nothing to hide
that becomes a heavy burden
when you open my mind
and find out that there is nothing in there
worth loving
worth reading
the burden becomes unbearable
all your castles of expectations fall
like the tower of sand
on the shore

Bound in chain
Standind in the valley of wreck,
Sitting under the cidar canopy,
Mind so troubled,
Thoughts, of an unseen world,
An unexpected void i happen to be lost in.
My mind quackes,
My body is shrivelled
up,
Dances to the tune of 'drummer heart',
Lonely and hapless,
Like a prisoner i groan.
Wishes for death,
Yet afraid to die,
Death cometh;
With its icy hand, it threatens,
Yet i hid from it.
Wandering in
solitude,
Scotched bare by the fiery rays,
Sick with sickness of the mind,
My eyes are dry,
The river's source are emptied.
My knowledge wastes,
My intellect left for vultures,
Science gives way for burden,
My hands and feet chained,
Trouble, my jailer..
My riches vanishes,
Friends has deserted me,
Am like a weed to my 'amis',
Deserted in solitude,
Poverty my comforter.
