Perhaps you heard a distant song
That mortals cannot sing;
Perhaps it made your heartbeat long
For such a pretty thing.
Perhaps you saw beyond your eyes
What dirt and clay can’t form;
Perhaps you know what beauty lies
Beyond the mortal storm.
Why then, pursue it, as you must,
One cannot let it go;
But gold is not akin to rust,
We can but little know.
And, O, what cost to know in trace
What is from mortals fenced!
The treasure stored in Heaven’s place,
One cannot loan against.
I saw you today, maybe
I heard your voice, maybe
I spoke to you surly
May I know more of you;
I pray for you often
First before I pray for myself
I miss seeing you at least daily
I must be out of breath
May I know more of you;
Can I tell God about you;
May I know more of you;
I pray to God that I can do;
I seen you once in pain;
Crying out in Jesus name;
I felt so ashamed, so ashamed;
That I didn't embrace you in your pains;
I saw you today, maybe
I heard your voice, maybe
I spoke to you surly
May I know more of you;
I pray for you often
First before I pray for myself
I miss seeing you at least daily
I must be out of breath
May I know more of you;
Can I tell God about you;
May I know more of you;
I pray to God that I can do;
I saw you today, maybe
I heard your voice, maybe
I spoke to you surly
May I know more of you;
My life is made up of many things,
Dreams and hopes in my church hymnal.
Lyrics limping along in simple songs,
Coming out from being a ***** spiritual.
Songs that assures me of treasures
If found, are in exchange for a sacrifice.
I am guaranteed there would be tears,
and snares laid in a troublesome place.
Victory share the hope of salvation,
A temporary illusion before death.
My world is in captivity to emotion,
I stand in need with a separate breath.
life carries me to where the good intrude,
Someday done wrong, with pain sing along,
The sad melody fits the time, a hit in the mood.
And Caused my life to be in this song.
In prayer, I often look up to the sky.
And search for answers that could be mine.
But I go the way to where crows fly,
As foul as I am, the healing is inclined.
the blue jay's pained call
mirrors the melancholy...
of a rainy day.

ELUSIVE
On wordy flight
I see you rise...
Like clouds,
Like ships on wave-less seas,
You sail on endlessly.
But then one day
I snatched your wing...
Of thought,
Of need to fill a lasting yearn.
I must cage your prism.
Caressing all your wonder
I’m awestruck, spellbound.
Captivating, anticipating
The motion of your spirit.
As you fly in silence
The soaring makes me breathless.
Take me on a quest
Beyond illusion.
Inside no motion,
No being.
A thought,
A need to fill the void.
Vertigo and I swoon.
As I stand and marvel
An image takes form.
Iridescent, opalescent,
A magnet of colour.
Then, only for a moment
The pulsing spectrum parted
I saw a vision of my soul
A time not yet here.
1-8-2013 Walking The Shore
Tomorrow,just as today,I begin to wonder,
How much I would like to walk the shore,
As the same as I did,once long before,
Those memories do not fade,even if in thundering rain
Or more so now that I have my cane,
I met you once there,I was not alone,
Your eyes sparkled,like the stars far beyond,
As if the same,a memory or a dream,it's what I want,
To return with my kite to fly,my feet to sink ,my mind to awake,
Feel the warm sand through your open hands,
Kiss the smile -right off your face,like the waves curls before the break ,
I am here now writing in the wind,
Sharing with you where I stand,beside the busy sea,
I shall stay as long as I can,willing to fill you in,with my favorite pen.

Never enough love to fill me up as a clown
when mood remains low;
I'd love to spin around twice,
hold someone's hand and fall down
to touch the world below...
as light chases away those dark clouds!
Where are the happy thoughts
that build up inside...
when fancy strikes and explodes
to make way for the sunshine?
Where's that rainbow
that promises tomorrow?
Never enough love to make me shout, spring up and suddenly soar
to forget troubling days
that make me awfully sad;
oh, I lay wishes on stars
and believe in roses without thorns,
in faces without frowns!
Oh, it would be a wonderful thing to sail on a ship to a distant shore!
Will I watch the fading sunset and dream by myself?
I'll look far away to explore feelings of solitude...
who'll be there to take me to another altitude,
if there isn't enough love to satisfy this throbbing chest?
Never enough love to give to the truest heart
whose size is the depth of the bluest sea!
If one isn't generous, that person will be lonely and out of luck;
keep on giving what you can to make everyone see
that love never says you can't win the trust of your darling...
to build up that lasting dream when reality is the surest thing!
I see a better world that I can use
Its far from you And inside me
The reality is too much to handle anymore
It's a place we all can love
A place where all angels dwell
Burnt in my mind everything you've done to me
It saves me to go away
It's my internal prison
It's my only safe-haven
I'm my mind there is a place
That only I can control
Your misery will haunt me no more
As Long as I'm in my own reality
You will be no more
It's deep enough where you will never find
But open enough to keep expanding
I will not be stapled by your dominance anymore
This is it i will take a stand
A sky with death In it's smile
Rolls across the night
It seeks to know what is wrong
And the thing is you
I'm my mind there is a place
That only I can control
Your misery will haunt me no more
As Long as I'm in my own reality
You will be no more
I'm my mind there is a place
That only I can control
Your misery will haunt me no more
As Long as I'm in my own reality
You will be no more
I'm my mind there is a place
That only I can control
Your misery will haunt me no more
As Long as I'm in my own reality
You will be no more
I'm a needle in a haystack
walking about among all
never standing tall.
A stick in an ever growing field of flowers.
never a stalk, never any power.
just a lone discarded weed, but i feed
on your unknowing, my unshowing.
until an unblossoming of a true form me
and a society forced to see me,
and try to be me,
the perfect rose.
BIPOLAR
Sometimes I can feel a magic like I've never known.
I could run a thousand miles. Run a thousand miles.
Sometimes it's more like I'm dying here all alone.
Sometimes I think I'll die alone.
Euphoria. Then I'm down down down
Euphoria. Then I'm down down down. Euphoria.
Sometimes I can reach out for you, but you're made of stone.
I could die a thousand times. Die a thousand times.
Sometimes it's more like you're showing me I'm not alone.
Sometimes I think I'm not alone.
Euphoria. Then I'm down down down
Euphoria. Then I'm down down down. Euphoria.
Euphoria then I'm down down down.
Euphoria then I'm down down down.

Live your life like fun , don't cry for wrong and right...
When it comes to taste , you can't go for a balanced diet...
Times moves on and on , like rising and falling tides ...
Life is meant to face , so you can't restore to hides...
Flow spontaneously like a river , high spirited like the sky...
Be vibrant like the bird , and open your wings to fly....
Value each smile like pearl , though it may be pocket size...
Just believe you are the best , there your worth lies....
Toil to your heart's best , leave the rest to divine ...
When blessings combine with efforts , zero can be turned to NINE.....
O Jesus! It’s the era of tech!
O Jesus! It’s the info era!
It’s the twenty-first century –
You are supposed to come down
We have started the count down
Ten Nine Eight Seven Six
Five Three Two One O!
O Jesus! Take a look at us
You are our precious omnibus!
O Jesus God’s symbol of peace
You are what we now need and miss!
O Jesus! Come down on the earth
Make it a place of peace and mirth.
Cast out
I blast out
of a cage
that once enslaved
blast out towards
an image worshiped
Big myth, great idol
its you I learn to admire
in the trials, by fire
that taught me
how I should not be
Now I'm lying in the entrails
of the mystical lion
swallowed up by the trend
I believed was worth dying
for, now I am no more; a lost scripture
in this unfolding
vicariously informed the show must go on
everything on edge
by the crash of a drone
how did I find peace
all on my own?
no one can find it
if they're searching too strong
It invades you, somewhat saves you
from the angst and rage
of child's play
adults playing war games
in a dangerous way
everybody staring
blank, in loss of face.
O Muhammad mercy of the universe
We are your followers so please look at us.
If you were not created God would create nothing
I have a few things to give you but this song I sing.
If you did not reveal the Truth
Our afterlife would not be smooth.
If you were not our guide we would surely go astray
We want you beside us on the awful Judgment Day.
