I saw a one way ticket
A trolley full of lauggage
Checking in an apartment, not a hotel
This visitor is here to stay
I saw a sale agreement
Not a stay receipt
I saw a full smile
Not a half-wit grin
Embraced with both hands
A bed in well made
I see no plan for departure
This visitor looks quite settled
AI is here to stay
AI is here for good
To live side by side with our knowledge
Always willing to help.

Life is a one time offer
Use it well to your advantage
Be an example to do good to others
In doing business, act with fairness
Extend help in times of calamity
Never become rich in the usury of others
Give love with a compassionate heart
Help those who cannot help themselves
Never be enamored of things temporal
Seek things which leads you to eternal joy
Live life that is fulfilling to the soul.

If the clock is ticking, what will we write,
in as conjure a rhythm, a soft beat,
which resonates with childlike heart’s delight?
To do so fellow souls, is no mere feat.
Save by making mind in sync with our soul,
enabled only if we surrender,
can presence hope to succeed in this goal,
which we will later behold in wonder.
As we auto-write, partnering with space,
are we disqualified right from the start
or can it be deemed were favoured by grace,
which we claim openly, is a learnt art?
So here we are then, expressing ourself,
music of the spheres, that flows by itself.

Menacing lover from a myth;
He pushes my boundary line,
I’m claimed every December fifth;
Sticks shout leaving behind a mark;
Take the beating and do not bark,
full mouth there’s nothing to discuss;
I nurse what was done in the dark;
Just a one night stand with Krampus.

A lazy afternoon
And an empty classroom.
As I’m about to fall asleep,
At the same time
I fell for you.
“Because” you look
Beautiful in my eyes, and
Because of then, I’ve been getting
Butterflies at the glimpse of you doing what you
Love, making me fall for you even harder.
Catching a glimpse from time to time,
‘Cause it’s the same way you
Caught my heart. You
Can hear it racing, If only I could make
You feel the same way.
So that the roses in my heart could bloom so
Much so you could notice it.

I LOVE A ONE HIS NAME IS JESUS
I love a one His name is Jesus
Thinking the thoughts of one continually at naught
There nothing wrong if your thoughts are pure concerning holy thinking
In the presence of the Father and Jesus
Thinking the thoughts of one continually at naught
I thank my Father for this New Day and I praise the Lord Always
In the presence of the Father and Jesus
Thank my God at this day I was awakened alive as He kept His breath in me Hallelujah
I thank my Father for this New Day and I praise the Lord Always
There nothing wrong if your thoughts are pure concerning holy thinking
Thank my God at this day I was awakened alive as He kept His breath in me Hallelujah
I love a one His name is Jesus

A doctor saved his eye
then he took it away
by hiding it from the boy’s face.
His hands were puppy dog tails
wagging blindly.
He played a game of Scrabble
with a Brail alphabet
as his only guide
He would enter a schoolroom
through a hole in his mind,
peering curiously
into a strange fishbowl world.
He was a one-eyed peeper,
a tunnel stalker
walking through a tubular world.
When the patch came off
reality took on the shape
of a prison warden.
One eye had to work hard,
the other got a life-sentence
reduced to time already served
as the cell-mate of a cyclops.

My faced is caked
With pigment baked
Into the glaring night
I look for light
It’s me I fight
Day and night
Have you no eyes?
Do you not see?
You are looking
At another me
I stand alone
I do not own
I am the speech
I am the word
I am the battle
I am the axe
I am the struggle
I am the strife
This is my way
This is my life
I am so many
I am but one
I am all and yet I am none
The time is now
I’ve stood and how
On this stage of life
I’ll take a bow, I’ll take a bow!

The joys and excitement we feel each day
Are meant to give meaning to this one act play
It's never been explained
But we must maintain
Our focus on the future, not be led astray

Love is a one way street
It either you love me or you don't
Either way you get to prove it
If we are to sail through our love boat
You give your all without holding back,
Creating time and space in your busy agenda
Giving that which I for long lack,
And you don't need to write that on your calendar.
For love is a one way street
You embark on a journey without knowing the exact destination,
Yet you endure even if the ride is bitter or sweet
And you manage to keep up the conversation
Love is a one way street
Made of concern, care and trust,
All the doubts, hearsay you put beneath your feet
Stay loyal and above all others you put your lover first
Love is a one way street
All moving towards the same direction
Never allow your thoughts compet
And never give in to temptation.
Love is a one way street
The only way street
Never turn back in regret
For that will undermine all that you have invest.
Because love is a one way street
It should be paved in transparency
Devoid of all deceit
And it life span should not be determined by the currency
Love is a one way street
A one way street

Prayers dedicated to shadowy redemption
Would you be a pure innocent whiteness?
On the brink of a severe storm;
Would you be a calm, friendly conversation?
If I am but a hesitant , immeasurably responsible soul;
Would you relieve that responsibility?
If I am a question mark in the writing of us
Would you be the explanatory foot-note?
Me, you or we
Split or scattered like isolated islands;
If gusty wind threatens to blow away forever
Would you be the power to reassign it?
You and I are but a prefix of a conversation
Would you be the enlighten effort to focus it to primetime?
Dogs and human , fight in my haunted dreams
I see vultures, waiting for the inevitable end of silence
Yet, I see a one-sided feelings, smiling
Standing on the pulpit of the innermost soul
Holding a pen and white paper;
Risking to the utmost degree of life.
