Life In ExileWhen innocent got killed, others left,
Beyond the hills to unknown lands,
Escaping death that chased foot prints,
With nothing, just the empty hands.
Helpless *Pandits, became homeless,
Feet on ground and sky over head,
Horror and fear gripped their minds,
Their heart was alive but soul so dead.
Loaded guns, kept looking...

A Moment of Hope the Invisible Man 30Sometimes I have the courage to think of the things that made me what I am today,
My memory takes me back to terrible things far away far off into my bitter past,
My mind like a maze of dirty black alleys that smell of waste, loss...

Golden Hands...You touch me with your golden hands
Take away my pain
In sweet silence
We dance together in heavens morning rain
You hold me close in loving arms
Safe inside, so safe inside
Sad memories drift into the bitter past
Your gentle face before me, oh I want to last
Birds sing new...

Forgiveness -RevisedAt times one has to let bygones be bygone
When endless thoughts of pain
Become wrapped up and done
When inner peace has to settle in once again.
It is when the heart aims to be pure
Forcefully letting go of the bitter past
Amending the present to move towards the...

Dear SirI do not wish to be alone
nor do I require the silence

A Smile CastGentle acts of kindness change the path of man
spirals sing of virtue unwritten laws and games

A smile cast on winters day reveals warmer songs
a mothers touch a sons remorse the winter lingers on

Fighting GodFighting God
The dearest of dears when He takes away,
There's nothing left to live in the lonely world for,
Faith in Him dies, as if He's into some foul play,
Depression knocks hardest at your door,
Fighting with God is the first thought,
Only if you could catch hold of...

Michael JordanI miss my old friend
Michael Jordan
And sometimes I wonder
How is he doing
And I pray
To read the old gospeller again
Tumbling fire into words
Breaking Lucifer's chain
Renouncing the bitter past
And casting spells upon hearts
That wait for his spring to come
And often I wonder
Did the rain ever fall
Did the...

Peace CallsAllow me to make this suggestion
By all means you can oppose
Carefully listen, boldly take these steps with me
Dotted lines, that once held our names
Easy the journey seemed, tough one it really was
Fairy stories, never knocked on our doors
Gambling for love, fighting non stop...

And never let my eternal faith die,

Rhyme
Every NightEvery night she's walking by
And summer days, they seem to fly
There's music in the words of love
This feeling's coming from above
And every day is just the same
I wake up and scream your name
Holding on to helping hands
Building castles in the sand
And they say it never...
