You empowered me with your love
I stand above all assured
strength to start strong
and finish strong
that's how you have empowered me
steadfast
assured
confident in
my ability
you have empowered me to love
thank God you
have empowered me
Thank God that you love me
from then until now
Thank God that you love me
A love spoken
even when you aren't around
I brag to my friends
they tire from storied detail
I thank God you love me
It strengthen me to
always prevail

The hottest sun hid under the dense cloud
A harbinger of mercy with tiny droplets of rain
All my worries are ploughed
and i am relieved of pain
The road to happiness has many bends
and some times i need a high jump
I am bestowed with the best of friends
To worries together we clump
The Darkness that scare me alot
and the danger that sometimes i pretend
With friends i make the best of plot
And i see the light in the end
Long lasting eternal love,
Always binding amongst the air,
The trees can breath the overloaded moments of happiness,
The Love I dreamt came true...
Trees eyes rolling,
Me Laughing,
You enlightening my world,
Shades enjoying the silence of sleeps,
The Love I dreamt came true...
The people fading,
Things passing by as light,
The darks eventually brightens,
Baded the tragedies,
The Love My Last Came true...
The eyes I love shines,
Me Looking at the ocean in those black depths,
The scenery turns blue to orange to black,
Still Star gazing beside you,
The love I dreamt came true...
In my worst, most surreal childhood nightmare, my little sister and I
were playing near a rain-swollen creek, in which—in a flash--she floated
facedown, drowned. Then, already paralyzed, I was attacked by hundreds
of loud, vengeful whippoorwills.
Even now a sound
sweet to others is haunting
to me~~whip poor will.

A girl from Tennessee admits,
her friend and her are on the fritz-
One blonde, one brunette,
their names? I forget!
I saw them walk with hairy pits!
Long hair of waves down to their knees,
loves Mary Jane and tokes with ease-
Is this all the rave?
Forgetting to shave…
"USE NAIR UNDER THERE PRETTY PLEASE!"

Fly with small wings
To admire the serene sky
Hover the nice views
Wing lonely, afar
Recall scenic motherland
Colorful forest
Evergreen mountain
Clean, clear lakes and rivers
Yellowness rice field
Timberland in fire
The human deforestation
Vandalize the nests
The nest shattered
Will rebuild for surviving
Hold up with true song
Challenge all dangers
To keep the powerful mind
Confront the lubbers
Feathers stripped
And the wings and legs broken
Hold up with brave song
Fly with small wings
Stand tall with long-lasting song
Prevail tyranny
Long lasting love story,
far too long to forget.
Embracing challenges as
a path to genuine freedom.
Long lasting love story,
breaks my silence with my pen.
It will write and write until
the second I die.
Long lasting love story,
beliefs in magical destinies.
Countless selfless acts and
many days of blissful memories.
Long lasting love story,
written to my better half.
Gazing into my soul
relieves his heavy heart.
Long lasting love story,
be still my endless essence.
Carry my darkness into
a blaze of sweet sensual fire.
Long lasting love story,
remain my constant heartbeat.
Fill my cup with an angel’s wing,
and soar with me to the promised land.
You are my long lasting love story,
and I am your lasting story of love.

Agony of long lasting mistakes
If you’re looking for me
I’ll be heartless where you find me.
Motionless, Emotionless, Loveless
Honestly it’s just lifeless,
On the way of being selfless
Time not to be selfish a little less wreck less
But I can’t stop being self-conscious
And I try and I try
No matter what, I can’t figure out why
Bad decision. Worst blunder mistake
Future collapsed, with present haunting my dreams
Of lost Fortune, unexpected death
What is the point of life?
If I can’t forgave myself.
love me till the end
till all earth ceases
and i'm forever engraved
within your arms
across your bold chest
and my lipsimprinted
upon your cheek
