Disappointments I Have Known

In life disappointments I have known
But still my problems are my own
For with others your problems why share
When they have their own woes to bear.
Since Human nature is this way
Even for success there is some price to pay
The wealthiest person in the town
Is the one some wish for to drag down.
Yet what is success I only know
That on trees and bushes it doesn't grow
Some say it is a state of mind
That only in happy people you will find.
But with that you well may disagree
Since we all look at life so differently
Apart from your children and your wife
You see money as the most important thing in life.
In life I've had to cope with stress
But I also have known happiness
Have known the difference between joy and sad
But in life you take the good times with the bad.

Beauty

How many times have we 
traveled down a road 
merely out of curiosity, 
and as we move down it 
something there takes us by surprise. 
Something insignificant 
somehow catches our eye. 
We stop and stare 
at the beauty consummated there. 
A beauty that fills our heart 
with the passion we identify as love. 
We are confused not knowing what to do. 
Before us lies, our future 
if we make the right approach 
or our downfall if we turn away. 
Do we stride forward 
or do we hesitate and take care. 
The decision is only ours 
in what we should do. 

Where you belong

The lingering shadows of those 
who are gone from our grasp 
bring comfort to those 
who had to say behind. 
Their voices inherit the wind 
on cold and lonely nights. 
Their voices can be heard 
telling us everything is all right 
when the shadows of loneliness 
fall across our sight. 
Our weeping call to come back 
is answered in the wind 
and the shaking branches 
touched by a breeze. 
Candles were lit to show us the way 
when the clouds of darkness surround 
and the voices inheriting the wind compound. 
We walk with eyes blinded 
into an eternal light 
to be consumed within. 
No one knows our boundaries 
when angels take flight 
and we only go when we are ready 
to face the eternal night. 
Those we left have no fear 
we maybe gone, but we are still here. 
Our voices inherit the wind on dark blustery nights. 
We are those fleeting shadows 
you catch from the corner of your eye. 
We seek not to alarm you, 
just to guide you along, 
we are your past nudging you 
into the future where you belong.

Womanchild

The distance can seem miles
Between the woman and the child
Though she longs to become one
A world of pain has her undone
She feels with all her senses
Tries to keep from building fences
But, there's a child to protect
And a woman who must reflect
With a heart that's turned to dust
She waits for true love she can trust
While the kiss of love escapes her
The breath of life sustains her
Held hostage in her soul
The child gives the dice a roll
The woman weighs her chances
While the child, she smiles and dances
She often gives more than she takes
You'll never know how deep she aches
So, give her room for her mistakes
Help her grow the love she makes
A woman knows the price she'll pay
If true love doesn't save the day
A child will take the love she finds
No matter how the road may wind 

Carry on

Valiant are those whom take life and live it, 
caring not of the dangers that may cross their path, 
venturing to the borders 
where life and death meet.
Bold are the warriors who cross the invisible lines 
in the truth everyone seeks. 
Hail to these heroes for within legends 
they will never die.
Immortal are those who hide 
within our imagination 
and remind us always 
that we could have been like them.
We are all valiant, bold and immortal 
if one person remembers us 
long after we have gone, 
and our strength makes them carry on.

Climbed down from that mountain

It was not so long ago 
I stood on a mountaintop, 
close to the gates of heaven. 
That I could almost reach it 
by stretching out my hand.
A sense of serenity 
seemed to surround and engulf me. 
I heard voices of old friends 
who had passed away, 
all of them calling me.
Then an angel spoke to me 
as I stood there 
with heaven not that far away. 
Nbms, it’s not your time 
yet to be called to me.
Live your life 
with love and honesty, 
continue with what you do 
and that will lead you 
to the path to what you want.
I stood in silence 
for a few minutes more. 
I climbed down from that mountain 
and my life was filled 
with peace and serenity.
Today I walk tall 
my mind is satisfied 
with my life I lead 
and all the things I do 
thanks to my God in heaven.
I start each day with a smile 
hoping it encourages others 
to do the same. 
Because I know now what awaits me 
when my life is finally through.

As the wind whispers

As the purple shades 
of twilight call 
from across the garden walls. 
I hear old loves reverie 
calling out to me.
Old loves refrain 
calling out your name 
from a distant rendezvous 
with you and only you.
The strains of violins 
linger on the wind, 
pulling at my heartstrings 
whenever I think of you.
As the purple shades 
of twilight call 
from across the garden walls. 
Calling out of love again 
as the wind whispers your name.

Love is always insight

I listen to the wisdom
told by the trees,
and hear a blade of grass
as it talks to the breeze.
I breathe in the beauty,
that my eyes behold,
as it tells me love conquers all.
It tells me since creation,
love has ruled the hearts,
of every living thing.
Without love, there would be nothing,
but just still silent air.
Therefore, as I look around
at the affairs of the hearts,
I smiled to myself,
as love is always insight. 

You and I

I LOVE YOU!
Not just who you are, who you are and you
who are together, for our self I understand.
I LOVE YOU!
Not only for what you did yourself,
For me, it adds beauty, love, darling
I LOVE YOU!
The kid in me, the earth hidden
to be close to you at any time has ever produced, and all
For being by my side.

In life, we travel many roads, 
some with a point of no return. 
We seek to find our dreams 
stashed away in a cul-de-sac, 
and if we hurry pass 
we miss them along the way.
We must take our time 
with every road we travel, 
take in all that is there, 
because if we don’t 
we may miss 
the greatest treasure there.
i'm here, waiting Without any regret.
coz i'm sure, no one can love you the way i do.

We make our life.

We make a life by what we give 
never thinking of what we may receive.
We make a life by helping others 
never thinking of the help we might receive in times of need.
We make a life by looking forwards 
never dwelling on the mistakes of the past.
We make a life by being positive 
never taking the negative view.
We make a life by loving others 
never letting hate dwell in our hearts.
We make a life filled with contentment 
and long friendships too.
We make a life we love to live 
as each day as it passes through.

No one, Nobody

My love for you never dies
What should i do? 
I kill it
I dump it
I rebuke it
N I blame it
I do all sorts of nonsense things
Still at the end of the day 
When I lie on my bed
My pillow which is still damp from last night tears 
Asks me, 'What happened today? Did She ask for you? '
And this sends a new volley of tears
dampening my pillow even more so
To ask me again the same question the next day
What to do..!!
My love for you is still alive
No one .. Nobody .. 
Can love you that way !!

Yellow flowers.

 To the tune of 
Intoxicated Under the Shadow of Flowers
The Double Ninth Festival
Light mists and heavy clouds,
melancholy the long dreary day,
In the golden censer   
the burning incense is dying away.
It is again time
for the lovely Double Ninth festival;
The coolness of midnight
penetrates my screen of shear silk
and chills my pillow of jade.
After drinking wine after twilight
under the chrysanthemum hedge,
My sleeves are perfumed
by the faint fragrance of the plants.
Oh, I cannot say it is not enchanting,
Only, when the west wind stirs the curtain,
I see that I am more gracile
than the yellow flowers.

forever love

Dying is what happens
When love leaves its state
But the heart that truly loves
Loves forever, Forever loves
It might seem that the days are dark
It might seem that the shine is lost
It might seem that the days are bleak
It might seem that the nights are terrible
The yearning and longing for the one
You love, flows endlessly, From the heavens above
Through the dark of the night, 
Through the light of the day
Through the showers, the spate
Through the summer, the autumn grey
Through the winter cold, the snowy days
The heart that truly loves, loves on ...
Loves on ... now i start to learning ..!!

Weeping

人生能幾何？    How long can one man's lifetime last?
畢竟歸無形。    In the end we return to formlessness.
念君等為死，    I think of you waiting to die.
萬事傷人情。    A thousand things cause me distress -
慈母未及葬，    Your kind old mother's still alive.
一女纔十齡。    Your only daughter's only ten.
泱漭寒郊外，    In the vast chilly wilderness
蕭條聞哭聲。    I hear the sounds of weeping men.
浮雲為蒼茫，    Clouds float into a great expanse.
飛鳥不能鳴。    Birds fly but do not sing in flight.
行人何寂寞，    How lonely are the travellers.
白日自淒清。    Even the sun shines cold and white.
憶昔君在時，    Alas, when you still lived, and asked
問我學無生。    To study non-rebirth with me,
勸君苦不早，    My exhortations were delayed-
令君無所成。    And so the end came, fruitlessly.
故人各有贈，    All your old friends have brought you gifts
又不及平生。    But for your life these too are late.
負爾非一途，    I've failed you in more ways than one.
痛哭返柴荊。    Weeping, I walk back to my gate.

But .. no more You.

I can still remember your words, 
Life is not always fair.
I can still remember that I thought it was absurd.
I didn’t want to believe those words existed in this air.
But now I know it is verity, 
I am here without you.
It all seems like an act of barbarity, 
And I still cannot believe it is true.
All these miles that separates us, 
Are nothing compared to how close my hearts keeps you.
But there is something you can probably guess, 
Sometimes I feel like number two.
But I know the same blue sky is looking down, 
On both you and me.
Even if we don’t live in the same town, 
And we are separated by the sea.
You are still with me in my dreams, 
The world can’t live without your love.
And sometimes my crying goes to extremes, 
But it all stops when you are the one I think of.
It is really good to hear your voice saying my name, 
It makes my whole heart fly.
And it feels like I am surrounded by flames, 
I used to wonder what it meant to be loved and wanted, 
But that all changed on the first day of May.
That is when I could feel your love be flaunted, 
And I can still feel it every single day.

Softly, slowly

Softly softly, Slowly slowly
that’s how it creeps up on you this feeling of lonely.
Empty house deserted streets
Your mobile phone making only work beeps
Than it arrives as quick as that, 
And it covers your head just like a hat
why am I here ?where’s my life going ? 
these are the symptoms you will be showing
why am I not happy like all my friends ? 
yes, it’s upon these thoughts that this feeling depends
then it envelops you as quick 
as a flame does a wick

Nothing’s gonna change my world

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away
Across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on
Across the universe
Thoughts meander like the restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter, shades of life are ringing through my open ears
Inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love, which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on
Across the universe
Nothing
Nothing’s gonna
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change it .. 

Father

Father of night, father of day,
Father, who taketh the darkness away,
Father, who teacheth the bird to fly,
Builder of rainbows up in the sky,
Father of loneliness and pain,
Father of love and father of rain.
Father of day, father of night,
Father of black, father of white,
Father, who build the mountain so high,
Who shapeth the cloud up in the sky,
Father of time, father of dreams,
Father, who turneth the rivers and streams.
Father of grain, father of wheat,
Father of cold and father of heat,
Father of air and father of trees,
Who dwells in our hearts and our memories,
Father of minutes, father of days,
Father of whom we most solemnly praise.

Everything is broken

Broken lines, broken strings, broken threads, broken springs
Broken idols, broken heads, people sleeping in broken beds
Ain’t no use jivin’, ain’t no use jokin’
Everything is broken
Broken bottles, broken plates, broken switches, broken gates
Broken dishes, broken parts, streets are filled with broken hearts
Broken words never meant to be spoken
Everything is broken
Seems like every time you stop and turn around
Someone else has just hit the ground
Broken cutters, broken saws, broken buckles, broken laws
Broken bodies, broken bones, broken voices on broken phones
Take a deep breath, feel like you’re chokin’
Everything is broken
Every time you leave and go off some place
Things fall to pieces in my face
Broken hands on broken plows, broken treaties, broken vows
Broken pipes, broken tools, people bending broken rules
Hound dog howlin’, bullfrog croakin’
Everything is broken

Mine is to imagine,

Mine is to imagine, 
what wonders life may bring.
Of pure unspoiled simplicities, 
of birds that fly on wing.
Of lands across the oceans, 
that i may never see.
Or how different my families lives, 
if I had never been.
The depths of real silence, 
or the solitude of death.
Or how the winters vapours drift, 
on a cold fresh morning breath.
For there are no outer limits, 
to the things my mind can dream.
No bounderies or restrictions, 
on just how far i see.
And so I'll keep as precious, 
the space inside my head.
Even if the time I have, 
is only when in my bed.

Mans words can change our world. Code name' Apollo

I've heard the thoughts of many men, 
from all around the world.
Words of statesmen, about world peace, 
or Fathers 'bout their girls.
But the one thing they all share in bond, 
they all believe they're right.
Whether about nations, death and war, 
or their babies sleepless nights.
For the words of men on subjects dear, 
they cannot be mistaken.
Nor they be swayed from their true beliefs, 
or have their morals shaken.
So next time you hear one speaking, 
about peace or clouds on high.
Before you dismiss all he says, 
take a look into his eyes.
For real courage and conviction, 
is bourn from in our souls.
And if spoken true, from deep within, 
Mans words can change our world.

Our own way

Child so sweet, child so pure.
never again to be so unsure.
That's what they tell you, as you grow, 
your life, your plan, your place you'll know.
But how to learn the place we fit? 
how do we learn, which side we sit? 
For life is mystery, long and deep, 
we toss and turn, whilst fast asleep.
For in our dreams we can't escape, 
lives we can't measure, with stick or tape.
But each our innate paths we find, 
as lifes great mysteries each unwind.
And as we lay alone in death, 
taking in our long last breath.
We rest at peace at close of day, 
knowing we did it our own way

Too old

i am too old to learn new tricks
yet too young to forget the old tricks
i am too old to care much about anything
yet i am too young to stop caring entirely
i am too old to become reckless
too young to play it safe
too old to be afraid of the future
too young not to be scared by today
too old to play ball
too young to be out of the game
I am an awkward age

just a dry river bed.

Cry me a river.
I’ll never forget.
Nor will I forgive you
of the sins you’ve commit.
Cry me a river.
I’ll walk away.
Just like you did
every damn day.
Cry me a river.
Do you have no shame?
I am miserable
and you’re to blame.
Cry me a river.
For around my heart
I’ve built a dam,
keeping us apart.
Cry me a river.
It won’t change my mind.
Nothing you do now
will erase all that time.
Cry me a river.
I’ll ignore your tears.
Just like you’ve ignored me
all these years.
Cry me a river.
You never felt love.
You just wanted to play
a game of push and shove.
Cry me a river
and I’ll spare a kiss.
It’ll mean goodbye
as I flee to heavenly bliss.

Truth is lost somewhere among the seven seas,

They say they want the truth, others say they can't handle the truth
They say the truth never sounded this good,
When the truth was about peace and love,
Some say the truth is lost somewhere among the seven seas,
Others say only the truth is what really sets us free,
I was told that the truth is stranger than fiction,
And within it lies the honesty of our addictions,
And for us to reach the truth with any real conviction,
We must battle through everyone of one life's daily afflictions,
The truth is we witness genocide, hate, lies and hypocrisy,
And these beautiful words cant mask all the profanity,
Some say the truth is out there,
Others dare not find or worse they don't really care,
They say that the truth is neither here nor there,
I heard the truth is found in a cold stare,
Or a mother's grief at a loss she can not bear,
Some say that real truth is rare,
In a world which is cold, unscrupulous and unfair,
They say that the truth hurts, with no remedy for the discomfort,
The truth is people lie,
Become occupied with doing more wrong than right,
Others believe the truth can be whatever you like,
Whatever you say, read or write,
A man told me truth is the only thing you will never find,
because truth is unobtainable in this world of mine,


I was lead to believe that the truth is right,
but truth changes depending on its source of mind,
They don't want us to know the truth,
Because the truth is what separates them from us,
The truth gives us the hope in a smile and bonds a trust,
Love is truth in its most sincerest form,
Such as the truth from a mother when her child is born,
Or the forlorn look when her child is gone,
The truth is everywhere, we're just too blind to see it,
The truth was sent to us by Allah, the truth is in this room I can feel it,
The truth is in our minds, hearts, souls and spirits.
It shall prevail and make you believe,
The truth my friend shall set you free
The truth can can be what ever you want it to be,
Whatever is in your heart, what ever you truly believe,
That is filled with love, hope and prosperity,
Whenever they try and blind you but you can still see
Whenever they try and choke you but you can still breathe
Whenever they try and oppress you but you are still free
When you do right by those who have done you wrong
When you can get on your knees and pray to the Lord
Every morning, when light falls from the heavens to the skies,
He reveals the truth to me,
In a manner within which these words could never describe.
