I Miss You
i walk into your heart without fear
i talk within your heart without tear
i hold unto your love; it say
told unto your arms, stay
come towards your eyes not in tear
i said as i whisper unto her ear
your heart beat i feel o' my dear
and the memory it brings so soothing my dear
but..
as i looked a little closer to you
to bring your touch closer to mine
and drift my thoughts in yours same time
i realised 'am so far from you
and all alone; i miss you

The Melody Of My Heart
my heart is on the rise
and fall
my heart's melody is as nice
than all
like the leaves
on the tree by the river
my heart is a melody
to the birds of love,
life and all that worth
as i walked the earth
with the melody
of my heart from then
and sang to my heart a melody
i explore an adventure
of the melody in my heart
and art a melody of my heart
with fingers dancing to the heart
my veins rain with melody of the heart

One Big Smile In Silence
the silence on my shoulder
fell off as i got closer
and colder
and could not darken my eyes
as my hands told me to rise
from the morning of the night
like an army
to an enemy
by the night
without a might
as my say were so wide
and not in comprehension
but my ears run abroad without tension
to hear my heart beat
to the drum beat
so long i lived without
none to cheat
apart from seeing mine
and wondered so fine
as my shoulder

Love's A Token (not Be Broken)
love's a token (not be broken)
when love come(s) around
true to calf my lover's ground
and tame me towards a love-a-dub
as if it were a lullaby
mara why?
and then!
love's a token
a promise not to be broken
my heart is like a token
my love is like a mountain
ever flowing like a fountain
you dearly caught be trapped with arms so open
for love's a token (not be broken)
thinking!
how often than not had i been caught

Render Me A Journey Of Blessings
render me a journey of blessings
for survival and existence
as the flowers grow and blossom
and pollinate their seeds
during and in their seasons
of pollination
to guide me to another season of life
with a blessing of personality and growth
as you grow me a strength of green from birth
and strengthen my being on earth
and water me a rain of thought
as you render me a blessed journey,
this day and yesterday,
probably the next.

If And When I Die
if i die
never ask yourself why
i had to die
because i'd have died
so wipe all your tears dry
and move on for another try
for pain is all within for a bligh
and if i live again.....sigh!
when i die today or whenever
i would die a sad soul forever
for life with no meaning is never
a life to reckon with, ever
and my soul may go wheresoever
to find eternal peace howsoever
say not that you did not know
nor did you not blow
the whistle for chains on my hands sore
and again i'd just bow

Strangely
i (kept to) keep looking at the dark clouds
hoping to see the rainbow
at least to get a peace of mind
to cleanse my heart with the morning sun when it rises
walking these few metres
one foot in front of the other
as i paced on with life; could not bother
about the unknown saga
because nobody is there; not even a brother
to leadeth me on this one such journey,
no wonder....
i (kept to) keep staring at the dark clouds
in awe
hoping to see the rainbow
at least to get a peace of mind
to cleanse my heart by the sunset
strangely, a sunset boulevard....

I Am
i am that man
that i am,
mine is what i am
for i am
that man that i am.
i give thanks
and praises
each day that goes by,
i shoot no blanks
and don't need no red faces
to embrace this when i pass by.
i hail the almighty
to guide and strengthen
my soul,
i say a prayer to the almighty
in whom days shall be lengthen(ed)
even if my feet run so cold.

Walked...
? *walked into (and out of) this life*
i walked into this life
alone without a doubt
to (still) jet out of this strife
without a south
taking me through the walks of life
to reign and fall
a not so mere call
for a but
and a maybe
i wont foul
my departure forever
and never
come back
forever
whence i came to live and learn
the trails i earn
my skin to burn

I Call Unto Ye O' Lord
?....calling on his name
lead me off this pain
if it were a teary rain
to wipe away this blame
off my face;
lost in thoughts
and lots
of thoughts
have lost
me in thought....
all it mirrors were some complex
abstract and distorted
provokingly....
lost in thoughts...
i call unto ye
o' lord!
in you 'am never afraid
