A Lonely Evening

In many dreams of you, I wish
If I could get my hands on the wings
If only I could come over to you now, 
It would be the best moment in my life.
Alone in a cool evening
With the light of a candle and the breeze from afar
And then the moment would draw close
And the night would become our friend

And nature would support our breathe
And our dream would seem simple
And nightmare be far from us
For the moment would be the beginning of a new era
And the dawn would bring joy
Happiness and love

Williams

I lie in my bed 
In the late evening
When it came to me,
The news 
I was far asleep
But the dept of the news woke me up
William is no more.
My heart flipped in pain even more
And my head hurt me so much more
There he lie on the ground
Knowing nothing of life...
He crossed already to the other side...
Living his family behind
For him there was no more wind
For he has rested in flesh and in mind
I know you,
But now I knew him,
If you could open your eyes on last time
And see your family before the final time
If you could think and feel the pain you left
As you cross over.
I believed you was gone, when I saw you,
What a pity
Such a tragic city
What a cruel world.
We lived together in the day,
But now you live in the night
Every body cries, but yet you lie
Its noisy but yet your eyes are closed
Hours I remained sober
But when I sat and think,
My eyes began to wink
I could not control the tears
And so it rolled down from my eyes
Oh death, why have you no pity
Filthy upon filthy
Curse upon you death
And honor be to birth
So sudden!
And to the family, what a burden
You was my friend
Our friendship was sweetly
But it ended quickly
You will solely be missed
Adieu my before friend

Brotherhood

With the love of my brother I was bonded,
And of such, I was blinded,
I failed to see his quality in others,
And I compare other love with his
His love was with trust and understanding,
His love was with care and kindness,
His love was with equal and sweetness,
His love was with courage and mindful

Not because he was my brother,
But because he was a man of sober,
And always in less violent and more verbal 
He is Precious.
And so I find it difficult to have such where he is not there,
And with this, thus, I have none love left for others

Raining Love

On a raining day 
When I walked down the Nile
Holding a pretty vile
Heading toward the gazing mile

Behold the beautiful lily
Shining so sharply
With a beautiful smile
That revealed my profile

It questioned my pains
Enhanced my gains
Sees me when blindfolded 
Remembers me when even beheaded

Love running through my vain
Like the running rain
Dropping down from silvered cloud
Calls the name aloud

The Writer and the Songbird

It’s mellowing around the corners of the moon,
The vision was clearer than the eyes could see;
The breathe was refreshing than the wind could share;
The light was brighter than the sun could give;
And the moments were fairer than life itself.

Alas, the past paste the present;
And the future fears its time.
Long has it been thought about;
And unexpected did it arrive like a sailing boat,
Boarded by the most beautiful but amazing creature.

Fluctuated from year to year depending on the weather pattern,
An impression was made.
I am but a writer with a blowing cup of penny,
And a heart full of roses with beautiful songbirds here and there.
Loren she answered to, wonderful singer she is but broken she was.

I am in love, yes I sure but same emotions she fears to be true.
Call my name and I shall appear,
Smile to my notes and I am yours as you water the notes with your voice.
Remember these moments now, and remember me thus,
For distance is measured in meters but closer it is than you think.

There and back again the writer wrote, as always he will, and the beautiful songbirds sang a new song.

Letter To Jennifer

All the days has passed,
All the nights are the same,
All the moments valuable to me are far from me.
Each day my mind is opened and the thought of you are crystal and frequent
And the memories we had shared are vivid and magnificent.

After all this while when you were gone,
I have patiently waited to hear your voice every day,
I have strongly prayed to see you in my dreams every night.
Very long time has passed,
As I have almost forgot the beauty of your face.

But last night, you came!
Like our spirit were connected, 
Like you witness my frustration,
And when you came, you came with a light and a peace,
And the trees bow to the breeze of your beauty,

The beast became friendly like a compassionate polar bear named after me.
I had long for you, and last night I felt your touch and kissed your lips...
You were amazing, as you are the most beautiful thing I had ever seen...

I cannot wait to see you again in my dreams,
And hope not to wake up from it,
Until your arrival
