Beyond the deep of my imagination
And from anguish of soul,
This love of mine knows no boundary
Endowed emotion as whole.
Within my heart lies a sea of Amity
Full of devotion, calm and bright,
Gaze of mine remains bound to you
Your glimpse of joy fuels its light.
Loving brings us glow,
Praying for peace, good for soul,
Dreamers unite so!
honest
spontaneous
trustworthy respectful
independent fun sensual
closeness
You are that feral fox
that’s wild and wary
not easily won over
needing to be approached with caution
ever so gently to be coaxed to trust
Opening up in bits and bites
get to know me slowly
get used to me in increments
i’m an acquired taste
a rose blooming in its own time

I'll write you all a recipe,
For peace and harmony,
Be content in your own company,
Worse things than single, you see,
Smile at happy memories,
We'll bake peace cakes for thee,
Take some kindness and unity.
Stir with love and amity,
Sprinkle with divine grace,
Cook, serve to each human face,
With a trillion trees to hug,
Less of this smoggy fug,
Folks, do not give up the ghost,
Universe sends blessings the most,
Enjoy your prime today,
Peace fill find its way!
Smiles for all of you,
That's my recipe, over to you!
These threads that bind:
A gift from you to me.
The thread pattern of time,
A measure of what’s behind and ahead.
This thread I wear,
A symbol of what we’ll share.
The threads of amity,
A motif on what friendship means.
The thread on my arm,
A bracelet I’ll never remove.
This thread as a present,
A sign of a bond being with charm.
Have a blessed birthday, Henry,
The world needs friendly relation;
International amity
Aims to unite every nation.

I search, I ponder, but to no avail,
I march to the tune, my vessel doth sail.
Up, down, all around, from here to thither,
From warm to hot, from cold to shiver.
Vanity of vanities, all is vain,
Full of labor, is there no sanity.
Some are crooked, some are straight,
Some are round, left to its own fate.
From riches to rags, from rags to riches,
From dull to wise, only others to cliche's.
No profit, no profit, what am I to do?
From man's store house of wisdom, I have no clue.
I yearned; I cried, there must be some peace,
A glitter of light, I laid out a fleece.
My plea dear God, show me the way,
Amity came near, God made my day!
friendship lives long truthfully
between poet and pen ink
thoughts come and make elegant
epoch, universe

If you desire your friendships to be only "Top Shelf",
Don't expect things of others you don't ask of yourself ...
Relationships that last - where time stands the test,
Travel rivers of respect that flow east AND west ...
Most folks don't mind doing what you ask them to do,
As long as it's something that you'd ask of YOU ...
The sure way of knowing that there's no disconnect,
Is to make sure you're allowing for bilateral respect ...
For when you give others the deference they've earned,
It's a pretty good gamble that you'll rarely get burned ...
But even when you DO, the good karma is yours,
So say your farewells ... and sail for friendlier shores!

You know how we sometimes analyze too much and forget to feel?
It’s okay to feel -
whether it be confusion
pain
sadness
anger
or you just want to cry -
even the strong ones like us get lost
we don't always say what we really need,
we hide behind things
we end up being the go between and supporter to everyone..
So tonight if you're lost
know that in your silence you can still
liaise with your Maker...
He sees beyond what you ever imagined
and most importantly He gives you the peace
and guidance you sometimes seek in others...

The wind is strong, the sky so gray,
The storm seems not to abate,
Your heart embarks on peril voyage
o! he falls into the abyss of disarray
The storm is great, the dust forms cloud
The dust is like a vibrant ocean tide
The heart is in the heart of Sahara
o! she sees an oasis afar
Having a genuine and candid pal
Amidst this ferocious weather
Is like drinking a cold water
In the heart of Sahara
With them, our hearts are mended.
Like the celestial Angels,
they hold us up when
our wings are broken
It tastes like simplicity
like innocent
distant memory
You're helpless
Oh, hopeless
and so full of life
it stings
No, I'm not jealous
or vindictive
just brought down by
fairy-tale romantics
But you never offered
not hesitence
or forever
And I've craved this
like repression
craves wings
So, for memories sake
and absence alone
don't say love
like laughter
Or remember me
like hate
remembers names.
We have all been there
in the midst of it all
blinded only because we preferred not to see
Because not knowing would be best
And somehow things become
as clear as a cloudless sky
we can see the wrongs separated from the rights
it doesn't make it easier to walk away
It does help when you have
Girlfriends that don't judge you
that stand beside you no matter what you decide
Even when you turn around to try again
they take a step back and leave the choice up to you
Even if they think,
you are setting yourself up for a fall
Knowing it's all on you
willing to be there when it all falls apart again
Never uttering the words "I told you so"
'cause ultimately friendship reigns supreme
No matter how long the road might be...
