When I feel the warmth of you,
I never want to let you go,
Problems though we've had a few,
My love for you is all I know,
Every day your on my mind,
Slowly tugging at my heart,
Soon enough you'll come to find,
You've had the whole thing from the start,
I wish I could erase the past,
Take back all the wrongs I made,
Now I'm going nowhere fast,
Memories of us soon to fade,
Whether you love me still or not,
I wouldn't leave your side,
Love for you is all I got,
Can't say I never tried,
You probably think we'd never work,
Since your leaving in the fall,
My love for you, I'd never shirk,
I would give us and you my all.
On Devon’s moors I found myself
walking to clear my head,
to shake off loss for just a bit,
and see a color other than red,
feel something other than dead.
A fog surrounded me that day,
but something stood within the gray.
It rose up high behind the mist,
a shadow only half-seen,
robust and solid in its build,
with hints of mossy green,
Like an aged, medieval dream…
How could this be? And yet I knew,
there stood a castle in the gloom.
Never had there been one before
in this quiet, desolate place.
I knew not where it came from,
if was even of time and space,
and yet closer to it I paced,
Then stopped cold when I heard a cry,
I knew that voice! My Lorelei!
Frozen at the sound, I gasped,
what I heard could not be.
My dearest was dead two months now,
cancer had taken her from me,
but the soft cries made me believe.
I sprinted hard, stumbling much,
my darling wife I longed to touch…
But as I neared, the mist shifted,
the castle faded, then was gone.
On my right I saw it once again,
far afield, the distance long,
but for her I would press on.
The castle moved as if on feet,
forward and back, ever so fleet.
Yet still I heard her yearning call,
and pressed the changing track.
Along the way a weight lifted,
lightness came to my back,
as if some burden now I lacked.
But I paid no heed to pain or strife,
I only cared to find my wife.
It mattered not, the other folks,
who walked out on the moor.
They clustered around a supine form,
but to their thoughts I was inured,
for Lorelei I must endure.
Lighter still came each long step,
but I haven’t reached the castle yet…
Yes, I see it! Now I see her,
a faint shape on the castle wall.
The cry keeps coming to my ear,
I cannot waiver, flag, or fall,
even if I have to crawl,
I’m coming, dear, I’ll be there soon,
I will reach that castle in the gloom.
I am at the highest summit
And never want to plumit
Down the high depths of this love
Where you take me up above
With an inner warmth and glow
From the real world below
You make me feel strong and free
From all the insanity
That life piles at our door
But you give me strength to soar
To a different time and place
Wrapped up in your arms so safe
My daily troubles are all finished
My misery has been diminished
Every time I look and find
The twinkle in your big blue eyes
I hope nothing will ever crush
The certainty of this great rush
I feel when you are so near
Please don’t ever disappear
I am at the highest summit
And never want to plumit
Down the high depths of this love
Where you take me up above
With an inner warmth and glow
From the real world below
Entering in Another Song Lyrics contest
Pondering a l o n e on melancholy,
As pain keeps me far from being jolly,
Those black clouds and the sun h i d i n g behind
the rain-kissed breeze blow crisp thoughts to my mind,
Wondering, I hone my p o e t i c skills,
Inspired by c r e a t i o n's mind boggling thrills,
The duet of birds w a f t s through rhythmic rain,
As words b u i l d up midst the m a z e of my brain,
Wandering through known recesses of m i n d,
My muse roused from sleep, I gladly now find
refreshing r e f l e c t i o n s from Nature's well
b r e a k my spirit free from w o e b e g o n e spell.

(humorous poem)
I left my pants somewhere
I can't seem to find them anywhere.
I have looked every place I know
Everywhere high and low
But still I can't find them
This are my special pants
They're not the best looking ones
They're not the kind to flaunt around!
Yet I don't worry if they look that bad
I still like my old comfortable pants
I also own a pair of worn out t-shirts
That they match this old pants I want
So I better keep searching for my pants
If I can't find them soon I'll be very mad
Cos I need them immediately very bad
So I don't have to run naked all thru the house!

The world around so quick to judge
They look but they don't see
No inkling what goes on inside
a mind in utter turmoil
If only you could find that switch
And turn it off for just a while
And for a time your mind be still
Quietening demons who never sleep
Inside your head they do not cease
With vivid dreams and nightmares
Playing deep inside your mind
For not until the day you die
Such peace and calm you'll reap
And as your soul begins to soar
As slowly
As gently
you open up your eyes
No one there to judge you now
Demons gone forever
Love surrounds like a comforting shawl
In a beautiful place where
I pray you are now
So calm
So serene
Suffering no more
from an illness unseen~~~

Though I make mistakes, at the end of the day,
Your love remains the same, it doesn't lack in any way.
I know there's love and compassion,
However, I feel I never receive recognition,
Unless it's a contradiction.
So many times focused on the problem,
And the things I do wrong.
I hate to admit that at times I feel lost,
Out of place and out of touch.
Being appreciated and feeling appreciated,
Are very different.
Almost as separate as day and night.
In one it’s easy to find the light,
In the other it's a struggle to get it right.
I do my best but,
There's always something that gets left a mess.
I try to race to it,
Before it spreads quickly like a virus.
No matter how hard I try,
It's like I can't do right;
Always failing in some way
To get it right.
I don't know what needs to be adjusted,
Where do I make adjustments?
All my efforts are unseen,
Like a whale under the sea.
Life can be like a ball game where,
Everyone is watching for the highlight plays;
For me to make a mistake,
Anything I do well is over looked.
My errors are the highlight plays.
People just want to see all my mistakes,
So they re-watch them like a replay.
My achievements seem invisible
And failures are easily visible,
They stand out like boulders in a field.
I don't know which is worse;
People waiting for me to screw up,
Or hearing them talk about how bad I messed up.
It's easier to notice what's wrong,
But a challenge to see what's right.
The things that go well are left in the shadows,
But the problems always get exposed in the light.
So I just go around believing,
That nothing I do is seen.
The only one who really cares,
Is the one living in me.
I can see a change on the other side
It's coming in with the tide.
I don't know what needs to be adjusted,
Where do I make adjustments?
All my efforts are unseen,
Like a whale under the sea.
Get Ready!
Get ready, for New Year’s almost here.
Though last year may have been gray,
look forward with faith and have no fear.
Much you can do in the new year.
Make some resolutions without delay.
Get ready, for New Year’s almost here.
Perhaps the past year was severe.
You must strive to lose dismay.
Look forward with faith and have no fear.
You could make bad luck disappear.
Change your attitude and strongly pray.
Get ready, for New Year’s almost here.
If you work, better your career.
Enthusiasm and kindness display.
Look forward with faith and have no fear.
Are you bored? Find a new frontier!
Make old bad habits go away.
Get ready, for New Year’s almost here.
Look forward with faith and have no fear.
We’re not a prisoner of yesterday,
Nor a hostage of tomorrow.
Collect the lessons from the past,
But leave behind its sorrow.
In the present we are shining,
Plumes of incandescent light.
Where everything is possible,
Where wrongs can be made right.
Stop. inhale, believe in yourself,
Put down your knapsack of fears.
Feel the warm sun upon your face
Evaporate sorrow and tears.
As a river tracks toward the sea
Following each twist and turn,
So you and I must walk the road,
Tread the path we cannot spurn.
Life carries us, it ebbs and flows,
It”s course is predefined
Just as the moon pulls at the tides
Our fates our intertwined.
We are valued and unique,
We all have a life to live.
Don’t give up on what you seek,
You still have so much to give.
So let go, learn how to trust.
You have power to see this through.
It’s not a case of “twist or bust”
The future”s down to you.
Seize the day, “carpe diem”,
Appreciate all that you are.
Be calm, relax, find your “zen”
Shine like the brightest star.
We only have one go at this
Our time is very brief.
Life is too precious to dismiss.
So get some self belief !
Again, I was freed from a mad hurricane
Call it by any name, it's still the same
Two eldest siblings, lost their lives in the dark
Freedom implores fresh start.
I needed to search, to find the right key
To set free, the rainbow that is me
I lied, and lived life as pseudo art
Freedom implores fresh start.
I wove my very own hand-made strife
Piled firewood burned my studious life
I was flown to the U.S., to carve life like a star
Freedom implores fresh start.
Meanwhile, my two eldest siblings made the family proud
From in the days of carefree years, I'd known dark clouds
Sometimes discombobulated, I couldn't see far
Freedom implores fresh start.
Until sky-light rain song transported my soul, as I wept
Until I envisioned my better self in depth
I never saw love, and life from God, as supreme art
Freedom implores fresh start.
Now, I live to learn, and hope my lessons show
I can pause and ponder where I choose to go
I'll wake and meditate, keeping light my heart
Freedom implores fresh start.
