—For the candlelight glows all night through—
For you walked on this path
must I go, too, on this path?
By the side of the pathway I saw the brilliant colored blossoms,
the color that delights the eyes of passersby. On the pathway
I smelled the full of sweet-scent from the blooms, the scent
that fascinates the wayfarers.
On the farther side of the pathway, I saw a flock of sheep
move on the pastureland grazing. And by my feet, I saw
the stream of clear water where the ripened spring
wafting on it, and the young fish swim in a shoal.
Under the moonbeam in the wood, I tasted the sweet wine
that refreshing nightly breeze has brought to me. I drank
the luscious wind that moderately intoxicates and brings
my mind to walk on air. I hear the soft whisper
that reminisces the delight bygone days.
But now, I am utterly worn out.
Because the loneliness afflicted on me for tens of thousands of years
causes an irresistible yearning for you, because the sadness that piled
and grown for hundreds of thousands of years beats on my heart,
I should like rolling over and pounding the ground, I feel much
like tearing my heart out and crying.
Still I have to go? Yet I have to advance?
An infant dead in yesterday decays
in the mother’s bosom.
For I will cast all my precious possessions away,
for I promise that I would behave nicely,
for I swear that I will bury all my sweet memories
that is in my heart, please, let me be as I am.
Must I go? Being pushed and dragged,
must I go? Against my own will,
though it’s only a beginning.
There is an age that parents fear,
A time when manners disappear.
When siblings turn and just for fun,
Hate everything, the time’s begun.
Now all become pure selfish sods
And think they walk where no one’s trod.
They now behave like things from hell,
Just why this happens, none can tell.
Their mum and dad they disrespect,
They seem to join a different sect.
One that exists for them alone,
They all become a ‘Kevin’ clone.
There is no way, that them we’ll please,
It’s worse than any dire disease.
We pray their moods will go away,
And dread the horrors of each day.
Their adolescent age we blame,
And know that once we were the same.
But all we did was curse and swear,
Nowadays they think, they walk on air.
They think adults don’t understand,
And they’re the first to walk this land.
Parents never had their needs,
Or ever lived in times like these.
Sometimes our teens can be so vile,
They moan and argue all the while.
Their insults make us feel quite prone,
To bless the day when they’ll leave home.
The only thing that we can do,
Is bear the brunt and see it through.
These kids who now have no control,
Will wake one day and find their soul.
It’s now they drive us all insane,
But surely where there’s pain, there’s gain.
One day they’ll take a bloody fall,
And find they didn’t know it all!

I am strong
You may simply disregard me
with your arrogant throng
You may treat me with disrespect
I'm still here, I am strong
Why don't you like it when I succeed?
Why can't you be happy for me?
I walk on air, confidently
so, foot loose and fancy free
Just like hope and like faith
and the sureness of birdsong
I know where I belong...
I am strong
Did you want me to be shaking
so scared and all alone?
Feeling lost and so abandoned
with nowhere to call my home?
Does my happiness distress you?
Does it make you feel upset?
That I'm at peace lovin' myself
Livin' life without regret?
You may shred me with sarcasm
You can say I don't belong
You can hate me with your jealousy
But still, like iron, I'm strong
Does my confidence disturb you?
Can you not visualize?
That my words are captivating
and the crowds they mesmerize?
From ancestral farmers sowing seed
I am strong
From hardy men of faith who believed
I am strong
I'm a true wordsmith, spinning words so true
weaving and knitting, as true poets do.
Never giving in to fear or to doubt
I am strong
I know what the love of God is about
I am strong
Building on the faith my forefathers had
I encourage the weak, make their hearts glad
I'm strong
I'm strong
I'm strong

When asked to define the word love
My first thought was... it's impossible to explain love
How does one descibe the wind
How does one describe the cool fresh morning air
The brilliant sunshine that makes us feel so alive
It's a feeling inside that can't be put into mere words
When you first experience it, no one needs to tell you
The experience overwhelms you, it takes over your soul
You walk on air oblivious to your surroundings
You smile a lot at silly things
You walk into things that someone
Has strangely placed in your way
Like street lamps or fire hydrants
You forget important meetings
With the excuse that you lost your date book
You feel like you have a raging ferver
But you're cool as a cucumber outside
Friends worry, wondering about your strange behaviour
But then soon recognize the symptoms
The same symptoms that 99.9% of human beings
Have experienced at least once in their lifetime
Ah love, sweet love
Is there any greater feeling in life
Most emphatically I say NO!

You are not yet born but I love you so,
excited for your arrival in ech day that you grow.
I look forward to meeting you for the very first time,
happy to have you sweet grandbaby of mine.
Ten little fingers and ten little toes,
with a sweet little face and a little button nose.
I imagine holding you and rocking you while you sleep,
while angels protect you safely they will keep.
You are a gift to our family sent from above,
assured you will be so greatly loved.
I can't wait to hold your tiny hand in mine,
the greatest gift of all a love so divine.
I imagine your smile so sweet as you sleep,
sleeping so soundly not even a peep.
You make me so proud I could walk on air,
winning a million dollars could not even compare.
The day of you arrival will be a time to rejoice,
looking forward to the sounds of your sweet little voice.
I look forward to meeting you handsome baby boy,
so me and papaw can give you your very first toy.
I had always loved that cloth called smile
So pure n immaculate on a newborn
It didn't make a slave a slave
All I wanted was to sew for others
What if my breath could birth good melody?
And my lungs could air euphonious octaves?
I'd really pleasure making Nightingales timid
And to beguile mortals with my dauntless vocal cords
I could be more deep with my expression
Set my mind free n paint it for the world
Colour my universe with my passion
All I wanted was to bring me to cosmos
Only if my feet were not this strict
And my waist n loins were a bit lax
I'd gladly obey the drum's call
And make these knees talk
But Apollo gave me his pen
And my ink never dried up
Perhaps hope didn't go to oblivion
All he wanted was a dinner with me
I could make my heart sing
And make mortals' minds canvas
So I could make the slave walk on air
And my mind could dance to poetry's beat
All with this pen

Is it possible to yearn for love’s scrutiny?
Without ever having seen your face
Is it possible to long for the presence of beauty?
Though never been blessed by its grace
Is it possible to see a future so bright?
On a path that so infinitely seems
Can you picture us naming the stars at night?
As we journey on roads paved with dreams
Is it unwise to hope I’ll land on a cloud?
After hitching a ride on a rainbow
Is it senseless to walk on air so proud?
Without knowing just where we must go
Am I foolish for trying to emulate stones?
While skipping ‘cross ponds and lakes
Can I think with my heart and ageing bones?
While either might buckle or break
Will frailty be our guiding companion?
If timelines on our faces show
Ashes and dust holding hands in union
Till the end as we travel and grow
Bleeding hearts of passion desire
Arrow of love sets my soul on fire
Tears of joy replace the inner sad
Sweet whispers fall and fill me glad
I’ll follow you forever as the clock looses time
Bonded from this day forward loves fate has made you mine
I walk on air with your bright smile
I pray for your return to stay a while
You know my thought before its born
Temptations of you prick me like a thorn
I’ll follow you forever as the clock looses time
Bonded from this day forward loves fate has made you mine
Embraced with your kiss I conqueror it all
Everlasting is our love and I cannot fall
Dreams of touches follow my shadow
Twinkle from you eye shows loves halo
I’ll follow you forever as the clock looses time
Bonded from this day forward loves fate has made you mine
Walk on
Even when the wind is against you
Walk on
Even when the horizon evades you
To stumble is not to fall
To fall is not to be fallen
To mumble is not to call
To whisper is not to be silenced
Prepare for dust and ash
To lose is not to be forsaken
Invite every weight of life
To carry it, is not to be laden
Strength comes with every burden
Clarity comes with every distance
Fold your sleeves for every battle
Find a voice under the muzzle
As destiny nears, the long walk hastens
A sprint into the fate of tenacity
The run will drift on seas and oceans
Until you embrace your deserved destiny
Walk on
In the deep sands and thick mud, do not despair
Walk on
Keep walking until you walk on air
He always listened, hardly spoke a word
He heard everything but was hardly heard
Advice he never gave, counsel he never sought
“Good or bad, it`ll all soon pass”, he thought
All in one – newborn babe, man, woman, and child
With eyes wide open, in his innocence he was wild
A gentle warrior animated by glorious grace
Life was a gift he`d gratefully, blindly embrace
Animated by a breath of heavenly heat and fire
He`d never tire to aspire higher and higher
He was of the sun – and a son of heaven
Hardships, strife, adversity were to him leaven
Head in the clouds, feet hardly touching the ground
Looking up, oblivious to the world around
When he ran out of ground he’d walk on air
Follow him you fools, if you dare
