Kindled Love

Dreams of my heart,
And of my soul passes me by,
Nothing seems to stay with me for so long:
But i have from childhood a deepest solace of music.

This life........; even dreams are fake,
It is rare that they become dear and fair,
For a thousand times has my heart been lifted up to the sky,
Then crushed down on earth with great velocity,

I cry a stream of tears............,
I moan as if a mighty thunder.............;
And then a mighty delude of hatred overflows in my heart,

But no matter how loveless i become.......,
No matter how dreamless i becme............,
There is always a spark of love in my heart,
That always ignites my faith into a flame of love.

Yet again i learn to forgive;

In Your Own Ways

You are smart in your own ways
you are lovely in your own ways
you are beautiful in your own ways
You smile in your own ways

So crazy in your own ways
The madness of your own ways
such mysterious in your own ways
Those eyes of your own ways

You inspire me in your own ways
You talk in you own ways
you love me in your own ways
You suprise me in your own ways

Your kindness of its own kind
Your love of its own loveliness

Keep On Keeping Moving

From the eastern horizon,
The sun slowly unblinks
From the top of the mountains,
Casting rays of light towards
The west.

As ligth spreads all over the land.
Dunes of sand clearly seen,
So empty and lifeless;
So vasty and selfish that it dinies
Life to all creatures.

Slowly the sun rises and soon takes over
control of all earths' activities.
The desert as early as breakfast time;
It gathers enough heat........

The heat so blazing that it scoches my skin,
My lips cracked like mud dried instantly.
My throat chocked and my saliver was like paste.

Does it matter any more....?

I was worth a bottle crown the moment you left me
I was worthless and useless with a feeling of hopelessness
It is just now that Im worth a presidetial palace

I guess you wonder how I got myself to the top
I walked....... and when I got tired I ran
And when I failed to run.... I flew

The pain you left in my heart fueled up my strength
The more I thought of you the more I was never tired
and the more more i flew to the top

You come to me today and ask me if I still love you
Oh yes.... You are forever in my heart
But agony is that you are forever out of my life

Love of my Life

Facinng the rest of my life is what im scared of,
I wake up in the morning with loveless dreams;
Oh how I cry-cry bitter tears for my loneliness.

Love of my life- oh love of my heart.
How long shall my heart keep on waiting for you?
My love for you burns like an explossion in my
heart.

Each day that awakes me is no better than yesterday,
I know not where i'm goining nor where i'm coming from.
For each day never changes for the goodness of my heart.

Love of my heart-oh love of my dreams,
The one my soul desires
So strong the love I have for you is the love you give away to
someone else.

What then shall i do to make you know my love for you?
Oh love of my life

Time will tell it all

In you lies my confidence,
your presence- so strong to hold my strength,
I wish you close to me forever by my side.
I know words alone can not trury express how I feel but
I know time will tell it all.

In the morning I wake up.......,
Then I realise I'm in love- how sweet is my imagination,
My love I imagine putting my lips on yours,
Your bossoms so soft to touch;
I know these are words but I know time will tell it all,

I've come to realise the love I have for you so strong.
Away from you blows the coldest wind that makes me
know how lonely Iam-but I know time will tell it all.

In the night with the sky full of stars;
I see angels flying,
But one thing makes me happy-I see an angel lying next to me.
It is the angel of mine that I see,

Life a Mockery

Life is a continual disappoint
The sun all my life has been rising and setting
My dreams have been lost
Desires locked up forever and lost in times l only hoped

Waking up in the morning wth loveless dreams
Oh how l cry
I cry bitter tears
For those not yet born

Life at childhoodwink may be as sweet as meat and honey
But a day after the other it changes to the blues
A daily trail that never stops

I remember my early life
Looking at the colourful world
When the sky seemed like forever

My Secret Lover

My eyes have been exposed to
extreme beauty
The beauty of a fine princess
A marvelous creation that makes
my heart skip a beat
She is a total package of a
man's happiness

She lives a hundred foot away
An awesome lady that she is
Her smile so contagious that
she infects me with craziness
She loves talking to me but
that sinks my head so low

She drives me crazy
And sometimes I reach the peak
of my insanity when im with her

Swindled Swindler

I stand at my back yard
I watch from afar
And see the way he's made you happy
The way he smiles at you

In his hands he holds what used to be mine
I once owned you with pride but now he owns you
I wonnder why I turned my back on you
And what it was that prompted me

Nights are forever without you
I spend sleepless nights with my mind full of you
surely I have lost my first possession

I left you in the cold for a young sweet lover
I should have known she was emptying my pockets
What a seasonal lover she was

New Season

Up from the hills and down through the valley,
A stream whispers unendingly a fading melody,
As it continues on its aimless journey.

The blazing heat scorching innocent vegetation,
Green leaves gently fading to brown.
The grass shriveled up;
Wilted, forgotten and began to die.

Up high in the treetops birds yet sing their songs,
In ritual of prayers to their gods.
Their songs heard even beyond the blue skies.

Suddenly everything changes,
From elsewhere came the darkening clouds;
Stopping over.................,
The shadow obscuring the sun.

Then the rumble of the rolling thunder
overpowers the birds gentle songs,
