IN THE SEA OF LIFE AND THE SANDS OF TIME
IN THE SEA OF LIFE AND THE SANDS OF TIME
As the sun continues to rise,
As the moon continues to wane and wax,
Here I am, continuing to wave on
The wrinkling sea of life, streaming to its shores,
To froth and seep deep into the waiting sands of time;
Here to canvas clanging conch-like echoing footprints:-
As the sun continues...

depths of her failing mind

and then she can recall
the beauty that she was;

The Darkest HourThe darkest hour comes with pain that's insane,
Excruciating, unrelenting pain.
The sobbing and gasping are so abrupt.
The heart is broken; the body gives up.
The darkest hour tries to take control,
Searching through the suffering for the soul.
Disillusioning evil tells a lie.
“Death will set you free, so let yourself die.”
Numbness begins to smother the feeling.
The chaos of your...

New World Order
> There is a new world rising,
Not in thunder, not in fire—
But in a silence so deep,
It echoes across the galaxies.
181 nations, long forgotten by history’s biased pen,
Have gathered—not in conflict, but in covenant.
From the ruins of colonial greed,
A golden phoenix stirs.
The old gods of currency—Dollar, Euro, Pound—
Fall like crumbling idols.
In their place, a New...

Only Time Knows Whenyou said, “someday, maybe we’ll be right,”
but we both had dreams too big for one night.
the world kept pulling us apart,
but i held on to you in my heart.
no one can rush what’s meant to be—
if it’s real, it will return to me.
only time knows when
our paths will cross again.
maybe not today,
but love has learned...

On Growing OlderOn Growing Older
Sometimes my steps are steady,
Sometimes my hands shake.
Sometimes my memory falters,
And I make some sad mistake.
Sometimes I hear you talking
But I do not understand.
Just remember that I love you
And I do the best I can.
My skin is sagged and wrinkled.
I look a little like an Elf.
My eyesight's getting hazy,
Sometimes I repeat...

Dark timesThe world is bleeding
and it seems no one can
do a thing to stop it.
There's desperation
in the urgent need for healing
and no one seems to care.
They've given up,
it's probably too late
as the planet spins out of control.
The greed of men seems boundless,
does no one see the coming of the end?

Its time to make a DecisionA list of tasks to accomplish before I embrace love again:
I envision my mind wandering through expansive fields where patches of grass lie brown. A single wildflower stands out among the scattered pebbles beneath my feet. Memories linger, taunting me alongside the bare trees with their bent trunks. A cool breeze brushes against my face;...

Somewhere in timeSomewhere in time
I need to make
More friends
Because I only have
Few friends
And the friends I have
Got some respect for me
They respect my race
And my religion
Also, I respect my friends
Race and religion
Somewhere in time
My friends are praying for God
And God answer my friend's
Prayer
Somewhere in time
My friends are praying for the
Countries
That are in war
For them to have some...

Advice For The Next Time You Feel LostIf you’re feeling lost,
please remember:
we admire and treasure
something as beautiful
and distant as the stars
in the night sky.
So,
the next time you
find yourself
feeling lost
in a crowd,
who’s to
say someone
isn’t admiring
something as
beautiful and
distant as you?
Just a thought.
You are a treasure....

Going Back to Future Beyond
I woke to the glare of a screen-lit frown,
My hopes drowned in code, and my soul shut down.
Elon, there said, "The time-machine code is cracked,"
"It’s your call now, buddy, go now, be reborn"
I'm going back ...
To rewrite fate, to make it right,
To hitch the train, to a better domain.
To force the past to speak again,
For...

Spring time RomancesShe moved away
From advances
Rolled her eyes
When I took
My chance
Made it
Odivous that she
Didn't want me to
The night lingered on
I'll saw some chances
I don't wanna be wrong
I think that I read her
Glances
I was wrong
She took her chances
I want to be
So.meone who
Is in love
In each

Did my part
But I caught
Her in glances
Summer. Winds
Are Autumn winds
