The Sun

The sun has gone down
No fun I only frown
The sky is already brown

Bats flying in the sky
Into the trees I hear their cry
The Night has given darkness a try
No light no love
Silence holds mi with a persistent pry

The sun has gone down
No fun I only frown
The sky is already brown

Moment Of Truth

I can no longer lie, I just still have to try, my patience is running dry, for the moment of truth is so right. My heart with all sincerity is given, and I hope we'll meet even in heaven, for my feelings are now all even. This is the moment of truth, I wear my heart on my sleeve, just to show how plain I feel, for the moment of truth.

Death

The most certain thing we've all ever known, the most eternal concept. DEATH! The most frightening thing we've all ever known, yet the most surest! Death knows no bounds, has no relationships, and favours no clown! But death is God's way of saying I want you with me now, collect your spirit in no time now, I still wonder if death will die now!

The One

There she goes
Like the star she glows
Or the sun she rose

Never insolent
Always benevolent
She is so succulent

My friend and my heroine
Jovial and spends some coins
And her spirit adjoins

My heart takes flight when she smile
Am ready to walk a thousand mile
So innocent she is a juvenile
For the ladies you'll always lead on the aisle

She is the one
She is the one

My Heart In My Hands

As I watched you disappear into the darkness, in the cold of the night, you walked away and join the stars. You left me all alone in the dark, would have constructed an ark, to sail away the pain and catch the lost love in the bellowing winds of the nigh. But, instead, I cut my skin, took out my heart and hold it in my hand waiting for it to stop beating so that I can drift slowly and join you dearly, as early. Never felt anything as soft, as I hold my heart in my hands.

Lots Love Lost

I saw the rain coming down
I knew the oceans were running dry
I felt the sun falling down
Heard all forest trees crying out
Lots love lost

The birds sing sad songs sky still dark
All Stars gone cant even see their track
In here its hard to live things fall apart
And from the feeling I feel I know
Lots love lost

Voices whisper inside deep within
Voiceless silence, loneliness, emptiness
The grounds can no longer absorb
I feel cracks underneath and I dont need to be told that
Lots love lost.

Holding On

Strength is nothing more than how well you hide the pain, in chasing yesterday you miss tomorrow. There's only a thin line between patience and winning, share the love and keep your hopes alive, love is what we were born with, fear is what we learn here. Not everything is meant to be but everything is worth a try.
Holding on has a cost but giving up is not only has a cost, but it consumes your spirit, your hopes and your prayers..
In times of difficulty, hold on. In times of insecurities, press on, and in
Times of fear, thrive on...

My Greatest Fear

My greatest fear is not absence of triumph
neither success nor victory are as essential

My greatest fear lies in losing you
Knowing that we won't be together
Thought our friendship last forever
Relationship closer than whatsoever

My greatest fear lies in the loneliness
In living life free of happiness
Mysterious wind full of emptiness
My hands crawl and lips sore with dryness

My greatest fear lies in the mystery
Our friendship now becomes history
Me falling apart like spring fruits from an apple tree
And finally an attack deep within the artery

Now that is what am afraid of
That is my greatest fear

The Route To Success

There sure is a route to success
Or similarly enhancement of progress

Divinity intervenes but only where there exist imagination
receptive mindset upholds human vision and sets it to a higher standard
Materialistic dreams give way to a promising ambition

Serenity intervenes but only where decisiveness becomes a common place
Decision makes an individual
It is also like a residual
Where pro activity is the manual

Tranquillity intervenes but only where perseverance has tentacles
Endurance overcome the tackles
Assurances breaks its shackles

There sure is a route to success
Or similarly enhancement of progress

So Sad You Cant See Me

I see you, so sad you cant see me
I see the wind blowing your hair
I feel the emptiness in the air
Lest you speak to me, I'll forever remain a flare
Your eyes damp and still, manifestation of insomnia

So sad you cant see me

I see you alone in the rain
what your thinking to me remain vain
Silent tears now have a friend
Just so sad that you cant see me

Furiously you cry more and more
Now I think you cant take anymore
Will you ever smile again?
Will you ever breathe again?
Will you wanna live again?

So sad you cant see me
