I love this one beautiful girl
Who has my heart in a swirl
Her brown eyes shine like golden honey
She laughs at things that aren't even funny
Her heart is three times too big for this world
Her smile shines like a perfect pearl
I love this one beautiful girl
But I can't show my love for her
At least not without causing a stir
You say this love I feel isn’t there
That these feelings are empty as air
You say that my love is broken and doomed
And that anger and hatred have me consumed
But I know this love I feel is definitely real
And I’m sorry if my love doesn't fit your appeal
And if I’m truly doomed
Then I’d gladly go down with you
Because this love is realer than your hate
And I know what I am thinking isn't straight
And that is because love is blind
But sadly that isn't in your mind
So I am in love with this girl
Who has my heart caught in a whirl
And no I don’t care that I am a girl too
Because love is blinder than you
Take courage, child, when the storm speaks,
A privileged soak that wakes you up,
For God dispels the mountain peaks.
Take courage, child, when the storm speaks.
Ancient of Days, of whirlwind streaks,
Takes off your blinder shades, shakes up.
Take courage, child, when the storm speaks.
A privileged soak that wakes you up.
The last organ grinder played a blinder
Intending to leave folk a reminder
To music upbeat
All those in the street
Did a conga to “Eye of the Tiger.”
It was the close of a splendid career
The organ grinder shed many a tear
As the music died
He swelled up with pride
For the crowd gave him uproarious cheer.
A fly from yesterday
buzzing around the room
even if i try to ignore
no way
Even today it still interferes with my work
I pick up Shelley's poetry book
Sitting on a dusty window blinder
hit and catch the guy.
Sarah, for your birthday, I do not want to ruin the surprise,
So put on your mask, and here is a blinder to cover your eyes.
I will give you hints as we get on our private fumigated plane.
Of course your mother is waiting, and she will do the same.
We will have a menu that has Belgium chocolates I can't hide.
They will be scrumptiously delicious, and taste juicy inside.
You may order hot chocolate with a shot of caramel and Nutella.
There will be some pretty hot guys, and maybe a particular fella.
Please do not guess yet, watch your feet as I guide you up the steps.
There are protein shakes, brownies, flavored lattes, sprinkled flecks.
An extra shot of expresso? I do not see why not, Sarah Dear.
Yes the destination café might be coming abundantly clear.
Sit beside your mother and do not guess out loud.
She has told me all about you; she is insanely proud.
No doubt there will be scones, muffins, and a sandwich of the day.
Come on pilot, get the engine started. We are ready to play!
Bored Out Of My Brain!
I’m home, learning how to paint
Trying not to faint
Learning the piano and
Painting like Picasso
Isn’t really that hard
What was all the fuss about?
Dreaming of meeting family
Tired of being alone with me
Wanting all this crap to end
Though I only have one friend
Doing things they say I can’t
Wish I could paint like
Rembrandt
Running out of things to amuse
Only the gin to abuse
Watched thirty episodes of Minder
And Bobby Moore playing a blinder
Football from seventy-six
And get some more brushes

an orange is an
orange it says
what it is
but i'm being
led on by
blinder covered
eyes trying to
catch my own
kind of
orange
i'm not a
rib cage
showing future
smelling
of glue
horse
or
a borage leaf
long earred
mule
nor an donkey
correctly
i am an
ass
but
still only trying
to catch that
which dangles
before
me
though not
knowing if
i go around
in circles the
same stomping
grounds as a child
but now older but what
if it's that myth the grand
if of all ifs that no longer can
sit
it needs to
be propped
up but can
no longer
prosper
as once
the
great
american
dream
I left that red rose on her dressing desk
But found in the evening as untouched but dried
Tho' I reminded not to forget among her other task
Unable to control emotions, my soul too cried
I just asked her what did happen
She could realize now the blunder
She said sorry and began to reopen
Mind, as busy chores led her remain blinder
Both of us felt the pain
Since silence ruled our home
Next two days too went in vain
Rose was let to remain as same
Rose was in same solid soft state
It looked with same pride and beauty
Both of us wished the pain to abate
As the rose smiled at us, like naughty
Surprisingly she took the flower as fascinated
Lifted it lightly like a treasure
Upon her blonde tresses, it culminated
Later she shielded it safe, to treasure!
Thus an end ended with a new beginning
Lovers failed are there
With lack of understanding and balancing
But love failed is never!

Gangster
Gangster, Gangster, ruthless cold-blooded killer,
Destroyer of life, take no prisoner for bountiful gain.
Business Man, Protector, racketeer of feared innocents,
Taking what you will, secured with violence and pain.
Who are you, what are you, who gives you the right,
Building Empires, from untold misery and blood.
Strong of character, fearing nothing and no one,
Victims revenge is weak and will do them no good.
Persecutor, executioner, henchmen do your bidding,
How can a small, malevolent Man, gain such command?
How many will stand together, to take him down,
None I fear, his domination has infected your land.
Gangster, Mobster, hoodlum or plain villain,
Are you a Capone, Luciano, a Blinder, Mafia or Triad?
Will your name be remembered in glorious infamy?
Or simply a cruel hearted crook gone mad.
Your acting but loose the plot
We’re growing, now u loose the crop
U fat cat’s feeding got to stop
This nation’s bleeding to the drop
I know that u are hungry but you need to feed the nation
I know that u r angry, but you have to fix the situation
I know you are a party, but you are a condemnation
Fist fix the country, then you can pay relations
Change the station! Nation under capture!

No remorse & responsibility.
Not a possibility?Really?
Will the children of today,
when they are old, look back
and say, as we do now, that
times have really changed?
Will they mean it in the same way
that we mean it now? Will they,
in future, all remark, as we
do now, how slow the pace of life
once was and how fast, now,
it has become?
Abandoning their games,
reshaping minds, will they better
understand than we have
understood that not all
all-too-rapid change is good?
Will they be fairer than we are --
cling to real, not bogus, values --
to their own unadulterated,
kinder truths.
Will justice be much fairer, blinder --
and, to repeat, much kinder --
then than now? Let us
try to steer the way so that they
may not, in future, do
as we do now.
Can you have whatever you want?
When what you want is what God wants
then yes
You have to prepare your heart
You have to make sure that is what you want
And that whatever you want is only what God wants
Just like everything else He wouldn't give it to just anybody
Your heart has to be right with God
And that is a sincere desire from you
God judges and knows your heart
So don't think you can put a blinder on Him
You will see once it is what you want
And He gave it to you
Even an ice cream cone - you will find that your foot and your steering wheel
find a way
I wouldn't tell you something that I haven't known already
You would find that you don't want a lot of things
And before you want it you will find that He says "no"
- so you don't have a chance to want it
It does not come in one day
It is a whole process
But if that is what you want
- press on
I am not speaking to everybody
But only to a selected few
If that is what you want - go for it
There is no point to convince the critics
Because those will not get what they want anyway
Because THAT is what they believe
But you go on
Good sight and good luck
A Turning Point In Life Is Equality
Writings in a Black Perspective....
The day will come when all will be the same color
The mingling with the neighbor
Just like it was in the beginning
No one will have a rainbow blinder
Harriet Tubman, born a slave
Devoted to save
Those that wanted freedom
Not sold or enslave
Jackie Robinson was given a rough time
For being black in all white baseball teams, in his prime
Couldn’t not sleep or dine with his teammates
At anytime
Rosa Parks sat in the front
Of the designated black section, indignant
She refused to give her seat to a white passenger.
She was arrested for the incident
I went through life suffering racial discrimination
So I harden my soul because of rejection
A turning point in life is equality
And our salvation

So much
Once I was so much bolder then I felt my heart break in two
Once I was so much colder then I realised I couldn’t make it through
Once I was so much clearer then colours changed to a different hue
Once I was so much louder then I realised it was nothing new
Once I was so much uglier but my soul filled with the words from you
Once I was so much blinder but my eyes didn’t see now the way they do
Once I was so much younger and I want to say to him it will be alright too
Once I was so much plainer but the world makes you think of more than few
Once I was so much hungrier but now the taste just reminds me of my youth
Once I was so much saner but all I want now is to feel my feet on the morning dew
Once I was so much a dreamer and now all I do is hope for children to not be so blue
Once I was so much greater but that’s just a state of mind of which I just out grew.
I've sought yet found in vain
Been slain a thousand times,now in pain
For no thorn pierces deep,as that of a rose
beneath the smiles is a heart that froze
never in my life had i been so close
'Beauty never slumbers'
These the words of love's founders
Blinder by the day are love's villains
Those who got all but in grains
All day they sob in the rains
It's better to have loved and lost than never to have
loved at all
Yes!i loved her always,she loved me sometimes
Adorned her with fancy jewels money could buy
But whyfore dost a lad die for what he vies
Hath love given ye breath or driven you to death?
Though this be the last pain that she makes me
suffer
And these the last verses that I write for her.
As dusk befalls this somber ambiance
In it mine whole shall rest for once
So shalst i at my future glance.
