It was always you

A clear moon in my lonely nights,
The feeling of a falling egg,
It was painful and ruthless,
Yet you remembered your man, ,
When all the odds opposed,
You stood even for your love,
Such love you did prove,
Such proof I did experience,
Certainly I did cherish

I could hear the wild footsteps,
The soft breath of an angel,
Such experience so intense,
The many thoughts that came across,
The few I did chose,
The more I did reject,
Its a knock on my door

The days of the great heat,
The nights of the strong wind,

Until when?

I have been hoping and hoping
Waiting and waiting,
Thinking and thinking,
Oh poor little me,
Enslaved by time and space

Until when,
Shall i reach the summit of my hope?
Until when,
Shall i see the day of my dreams,
Until when,
Shall i wait upon time?
Until when,
Shall i wonder always until when

Until when,
Shall i reach the day of manhood?
Until when,
Shall i wait to say, I do?
Until when,

Tonight Is Our Night

Your tent or mine?
The stars are so bright
Your skin so light
Can I hold you tight?
Tonight is our night

Dont be out of sight,
To make love we might,
You, me, above all heights
Two beautiful love makers
Tonight is our night

Your face is so tender,
Your fingers so slender,
To kiss you I render,
Tonight is our night

Touch me there, touch me here
Kiss me there, kiss me here
Making love without fear

Such Our Love

It was a bus by the corner,
I looked around and found no wheels,
Where are the seats, empty bus
The engine so inimical to locomotion,
Yet we expected it to move,
So was the bus, such our love

It was a clear blue sky,
The sun rays passing through earth,
Where are the clouds, empty sky
The sky so inimical to condensation,
Yet we expected it to rain,
So was the sky, such our love

It was a dead dodo,
So pityful in its dying minutes,
Where is life, dead dodo,
The dodo is inimical to its survival,
Yet we expected it to live and fly,
So was the dodo, such our love

Those were thee days

Being a man i tried, among boys
Making you a lady among women
Loving you with all i had,
Sparing all the time i had,
Believing we were making something,
That something you were destroying,
The days i called you by your name,
The pride and demand you had,
I am a man but cant be more,
Hard to give up so easily,
But easy to give in though,
When i met you i thought you care,
Aint everything that glitter is gold,
Proving to be a piece of coal,
Cant treat you like gold,
Gone are the days

Gone are the days my dear,
When love was you and me,
Gone are the days,

The Indulgence

Like being in the right place, at least;
Like being in the wrong mood, at most;
Moving with determinism like a beast,
Approaching a prey to make a feast,
Coopted, its an indulgence

Like a tree planted across the river,
With the cold, it does not shiver,
The flowers, the fruits it deliver,
The seasons, the leaves it recover,
Corelated, its the indulgence

Moving with the wind, suspension
Slowing in speed, reaction,
Its a dilemma indeed, temptation
It was yellow then red, variation
Cooperation, its the indulgence

Was it painting pictures on walls,
Or maybe picturing paints on walls,

Along came my lover

In my journey in the mountains,
Wind blew my optimism away,
The sunlight melted my hopes
The sharp rocks sliced my wishes,
In my deepest despair,
Along came my darling

In my tour to victory in the sea,
The water dissolved my positivity,
The salt relished my anxiety,
The waves waved my ego away,
Shipwrecked in the middle of nowhere,
Along came my lover

In my journey through the forest,
Lions hungered for my talents,
The vultures waited upon my sweat,
The fox tricked me again,
I was left just a prey,
But along came my lover

The Muddled Mind

He had dreams and continous visions,
He thought it was her,
The visions so vivid and strong,
The dreams so rampant and sequential,
Falling was inevitable for him,
Yet a hand, he found none
Was it her? Is it her?
The muddled mind

Love and friendship, facts and mystry,
He wrote her name on the beach,
Not until water waves reach,
His fine art the water could bleach,
He was falling into a ditch
The name went away with the water
He dreamt of her, yet the water took her
Is it her? Or otherwise?
The muddled mind

He found her with another man,

I Wont Run Away

Day is cold and night even more,
Fear, the nightmare of a shivering man,
Ring ring there goes the telephone,
Comforted by the words of her grace,
Come into my room, i wont run away

A quiet night in my lonely dreams,
From my windows are whispers of warmth
I forget the cold and feel the heat,
The true pattern of wamanhood,
Excelling most in glory and grace,
Lets go to the park, i wont run away

In the coldness of the earth,
Dinner in lovely places,
Lunch in lovely dressing
Moments under low temperatures,
Lets go my love, i wont run away

Yes, my ear is warmed by your morning call,

Plausible Perfidy

I looked at her and cried,
What did she have in mind,
To console her I tried,
To understand, she denied,
My tears never dried,
She hated me, I implied
Tormented from the inside,
To justify myself I decide,
Hoping our lips could collide
Our hearts she wanted to divide,
On her, I still relied
I made a mistake yet justified
Plausible Perfidy

Did I ever go away,
Being there night and day,
Forgive me, I went astray,
To love me again, you may,
Never again shall I delay,
Or make my love a relay,
