Searching for bright tomorrow

Walking with countless Sunshine's
Not leaving out the moon
Searching for where bright morrow hides
Thought we would be there soon

Playing away our yesterday
Like the desert wind blowing sands
Now here we come today
Searching for where bright morrow lands

Now in the presence of tommorow
But the past doesn't speak well of us
Because through the backdoor we follow
And in tommorow we are lost

Now, we are betrayed by our own mind
The straight path we can't find 
Had I known, our brains grind
Until tommorow threw us into a wretched deep night

Happiness lost

Life threw me into a prison of abyss
Surrounded by clouds of sorrow
Happiness burning into ashes
Flying away with the breeze of tomorrow

Why does sadness loves my company
If water is happiness' am always thirsty
Pain rest beneath my unwilling smile
Like rain do hide above the sky

Next moon' I may be freed
Sorrow would take out it's growing seed
Out of my blood and vein
Or' have I no right to be happy once again

Useless emotions

Look at my eyes, what do you see
I can see hidden tears unshed
Tears of pain and miseries
That always wet your saddened bed

Look at my legs, what do you see 
I can see tired and timid legs
Too afraid to move towards your dreams
Instead of moving towards it, they fled

Look at my tongue,what do you see
I can see a tied tongue
Hesitating to state it seeings and feelings
Tis good to be silent but sometimes wrong

Look at my hands, what do you see 
I can see the power to change your destiny
For it is written on your  palms 
In letters only you can understand

You can change the tears to a joyful one
You can start moving your timid legs
You can be the owner of your tongue
Your hands are not meant to be folded

Beautiful you

I walked the starry streets at night
Searching for words to describe you
Which bore no darkness but light 
Words never heard by dew

I tried to listen to angels whisper
So I stand vigilant all day and night
Hidden under scented flowers
But nothing new landed on my sight

I swam the oceans and climbed the mountains
Trekked ten million miles to meet the sage
To the underworld and those who reigns
And the aliens land inside a cave

Men never knew such a beauty would exist
So, a name to describe you wasn't announced
Now I declare what that name is
But that sacred word, I can't pronounce

Wasted feelings

I paint my feelings
To you, you ink yours back,waste
Of feelings and ink.

New season fruits

Fruits of the season
When your time is up, bye-bye
Another is born.

It's who's turn

Many died and leave the strive
While all that remains are left to thrive
Now, if death comes with a frowning knife
Can I say, do not take my life

Many died and leave this world
This cruel world, but we are not getting bored
Now, if death comes with a bladeless sword
Can I say, do not shed my blood

Many died and stopped the run 
We are here staring at the sun
Now, if death comes with a merciless gun
Can I say, it's not yet my turn

Death doesn't come with a bell and gong
It comes with the lyrics of a new sorrowful song
Mixed with tears that keeps flowing on
Flowing towards another dirge that is yet to sung

Land and Sea

At the Riverside
There I sat looking sideways
At land and the sea

Two lines of life

He came so pure but lured to fall
To earth with tears, with fears he left

Change

All my windows opened wide
As I expel those negative minds
And to my door' I screamed dismiss
As I welcome joy and bliss
It came with smiles that portrays love
But am scared' as I hope it stays long enough.
