Mission of the Yellow Songbird

A long highway road stretched its legs before me,
In a place where tumble weeds were conceived,
December evening chasing daylight back to morning
Dusk robed in faded colors starving out the sunshine
Miles put themselves between me and home
With thickets of brier brambles cradled...

YOU  WILL  SEE

It all started with an apple 
One simple little bite
Giving all the love we got 
do not walk towards the light
We already gave it our best shot
This is more than good night
Destine has picked out our slot
Paradise might not be a...

What Do the Stars Tell a Lover's Heart
Profound silence
felt and revered,
stirring an awesome emotion
which stillness repeals
whenever brightness shines;
and the primroses' scent spreads the delight
of the mild season.

What do the stars 
tell a lover's heart...palpitating
in tranquility, amid shadows
that advance with the pretty fireflies?
Dream, and reprieve from the loss...
hoping that love doesn't lay at...

Ship of Doom
" Ship of Doom "

Ship of doom so sailed to sea ~
Dark her course... 'twas meant to be ~

Into seas this great ship sped ~
Her past... her history... of naught but dread ~
O'er those waves her bows did'st cleave ~
Her memories... but silken webs to...

Thats Not Me, Not My Love

questioning my path and pride
can we keep our love alive

alone when i chose to sleep
on my own is best

i fell into...

Better To Have Lost
As Jesus steps onto the earth
Into the frost, above the dirt 
Where he first walked
As all else lay to rest
Once again to proclaim his test
Turned his pain into passion
To be heard
As spoken first sacred words:
"Tis better to have lost than to
have been loved, when what...

Premium Member In My Meditation
And in my deep meditation, I am searching with a breathless sigh;
I am following the twisted path of a flowing stream, 
and birds twitter and tweet from the trees a sweet melodic symphony;
a turtle rests on a rock and trees are trembling.

Bees fly!  And...

Will You Carry Me
Will you carry me, as I have you,
Whether skies are grey or blue.
As time goes by and I grow older,
I fear my death will have no shoulder,
for me to lay and rest my head,
before I reach my final bed.
A last request, I don't ask much,
but...

What Life Should Be Like
Anything that is not right
See to it to end this year
Start with a good step to freedom 
Work in abundance in the heart
Train your mind in the way for wisdom
Learn from instructions of Elders
Condition your body and start running
Let God be your guide and your...

Forever Lost
My heart breaks like the waves against the rocks; 
Is this where love ends and emotions take over? 
I see you drift away, 
I reach out, 
But in vain........ 
The image of you that I had moulded into my future torments me as I toss...

Inspiration
When sounds that gently linger do decay,
    Each cadence, ever softly fades away.
    Those echoes fill my heart, within my breast,
    Where words that speak of beauty lay at rest.
    To be recalled...

Free West Papua
Free west Papua
There is a quite genocide 
Is hidden from the view
Is rare on our popular media 
Is like no help for this people 
As they are been slaughtered
Like there is no tomorrow

Oh free west Papua 
As you a human 
So they are too

Under the Wise Old Oak Tree
In luscious green fields 
As far as one can see
With her eyes closed embracing her tree of life, 
Her supple body 
And soft cheek pressed against the rough bark
Awaiting her beloved

Hugging her from behind
He’s hands cupping her bosom 
Pulling her ever so close
Gently turning her...

Smoking Hot - Once Upon a Time
Smoking Hot

Once upon a time there was a little girl
She carried a chipped edged bowl in her hand
Charity had been generous to her riding years
Gifts were ripped, unwanted and unsized clothes
Grandma loved her Red Riding Hood in any wear
She named her so for her cheeks...
