The Fallen Star
I am like the fallen wish
So lonely as a fallen star
My bed a pool of tears I cry
Alone! ' I cry myself to sleep
'Alone I am with me!
Lonely in a world of mist
Alone, I reach to touch your wrist
And see if I am thee.’
To be alone beside a soul
Afloat, adrift; an empty ghoul
Alone in woe; the yearning flesh
To fill a thin, contorted mesh
Diffuse atop an icy floor
All alone I am alone
Too much stare much nightmare
Only thee walls
Can speak and share
loneliness a disease

My Mother My Life
My mother my life, my mother my pride,
She gently raised me from the gutter...
cleansed me ever so well,
a new & precious gift for Her Son.
Immaculate Heart overflowing...
with Her motherly love,
for the new life of Her son had begun.
With a smile on Her lips...
tears of joy in Her eyes,
holding my hand every step of the way.
It was under Her mantle...
My protection was found,
and the enemy's vicious onslaught, held at bay.
How proud I have made Her...
as the years have gone by,
I never thought she will drift away 4rm my grab, ,
My voice as of thunder...
the gates of hell shook,
lives redeemed, many victories won.
And now i have stumbled...without her am searching for love that I know I cannot find, I will Never forget...my star, my tender, my heart and blood that will always remain in me, , even when I die, , I will go straight to her eden and live on her knees forever....

How Could You
You earned my trust so deservedly I thought
The awakening of a set devotion
Your gentle touch was overwhelmingly my source of intuition
Cleared all doubts and confusion
My heart under your invasion
So clear, pure and foolproof was our friendship
But how could you?
Your promises so promising
Appealing was your sense of humour so uncompromising
You had a good loving, so tense and energising
Never knew how damaging and terrorising
O how could you?
Within my heart You left a mark and a gap
Yet to be filled but now I have the map
Road to recovery from your clueless trap
The pain remains, unable to forget your gentle tap
How passionate of a woman you were
In my home I intended to keep you there

Miss Al-Khalifa
'You give to me hope
And help me to cope
When life pulls me down
You bring me around
All I asked for was attention, but? ?
u handed Me the key to ur heart!
You teach me to care
And help me to share
You make me honest
With kindness the best
Striped me of loneliness
Clothed me in tenderness
From you I learned love
With grace from above
It's for you I live
And I want to give
Trust hard earned
Other commitments burned

Terry And Rihana's Trauma
'Terry here, have it, take it and go! Leave!
Make sure you reach Antuwana before sunset, , you'll find me there at the hills of Monafa waiting for you..and from there, I'll fly away with you to my paradise'...
that was rihana, offering her wings to terry, an angel that the young lad terry happened to meet while he was fishing and he made a wish that he wanted to fall in love with an angel, , he wanted an angel to be his first love...
Love struck so hard
The angel surrendered her wings just to have him earned
His life on the line as he flew and backtracked
An untold love story just about to emerge
He waited and waited
So long that he doubted
If he was enchanted
By that witch that he hated
But the angel rihana soon entered
In her arms he wanted
To build his refuge till he fainted
And breath his last breathe
Turning white as she cries

Oh Mother
Oh mother
The very first time I saw you, warmth filled my eyes
The vision of a simple woman
The touch of my truthful maama
The beginning of an endless affection
Lest you forget
Oh mother
You built my home within your heart
I was lifeless you brought me life
Deepth in darkness you maketh for me a light
Delivered carefully your baby so I'll come alive
My first friend, my best friend
We always thought alike
Lest I forget
Oh mother
