The winding lane twists and turns
as it meanders up hill and down dale
stretching far ahead, a silvery thread
glistening and glinting beckoning me on

Peaceful countryside noises abound in the air
cooing of woodpigeons, rapid tapping of woodpecker
raucous cries of rooks nesting in the trees nearby
low mooing of cows and bleats from the young lambs

As I journey onwards beneath the vibrant blues skies
I come to a brow and there stretched out before me
a landscape so picture perfect it moves me to tears
verdant hues of green from the meadows scent filled air

This is where I want to be and to grow gracefully old
to put down my roots and settle in this peaceful vale
to wake each day to the glories of nature each different
something new to catch my eye and fill me with delight

A place to rest with natures bounteous treasures spread
to revive a weary soul to heal the ravishes of every day life

I taught i did the right thing
I have realize my mistakes
Flowers withered memories
Sound fades, rivers dry
But precious one like you are never forgetting
I taught i have finished with you
Your love is divine ,i confess i deserve the punishment

All my days, i know you will be the taught of what ever i say
Never think you are the cause but rather put the blame on me..

I count each precious baby kiss
And store them deep inside
For future reference
When kisses may not come so easily
From growing lips.
I see you standing there,
Small, yet tall and proud
In new school clothes
And my heart catches in my throat.
Where has my baby gone?
We drive to school
And I fight the urge
To rush you home
Safe with me forever.
I see your face alight with joy
And hear your endless chatter,
Caught up in the excitement
Of new adventures.
I know you are ready,
Already beginning to let go of me
In small ways.
I am not prepared for this.
My throat tightens again and my heart aches.
I know you are ready.
Will I ever be?

Once the religious, the hunted and weary
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope
Came to this country to build a new vision
Far from the reaches of kingdom and pope
Like good Christians, some would burn the witches
Later some got slaves to gather riches

But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light

And once the ties with the crown had been broken
Westward in saddle and wagon we went
And 'til the railroad linked ocean to ocean
Many the lives which had come to an end
While we bullied and stole and bought our homeland
We began the slaughter of the red man

But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
And she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light

The blue and grey they stomped it
They kicked it just like a dog
And when the war was over
They stuffed it just like a hog

And though the past has it's share of injustice
Kind was the spirit in many a way
But it's protectors and friends have been sleeping
Now it's a monster and will not obey

The spirit was freedom and justice
And it's keepers seem generous and kind
It's leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won't pay it no mind
'Cause the people got fat and got lazy
And now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law and order
But it's all just an echo of what they've been told
Yeah, there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watchin'

Our cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin' the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can't understand
We don't know how to mind our own business
'Cause the whole world's got to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there
No matter who's the winner
We can't pay the cost
'Cause there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into a noose
And it just sits there watching

America...where are you now?
Don't you care about your sons and daughters?
Don't you know we need you now
We can't fight alone against the monster

Thanks everyone!

The contract between you and God
You saw in the smoke of fire.
You went through depths of hell.
A slave of the body desires,
But a master of your heart,
You always had a lot to tell...
Although
There were crowds around,
You was alone.
You was too strong
To show
What happened in your soul.
Your deep emotions
Were read in every line
You wrote ..
And that was so fine
To read , to hear, to absorb
But life goes on
Blessed be your way .
And may the love and joy
Light up your every day

I CAN’T DENY
My ANGER
My PAIN
My DOUBT
My REGRET

It’s all locked inside my head

And it’s eating me alive
It’s devouring my pride

The happiness I felt
Only yesterday
Today I forget

How is it possible to feel in an unpredictable way?

Why can’t I say what I need to say?
DAMN IT!

Instead

All I hear out of my own mouth
Is filled with the anger, the pain, and all of the doubt

My feelings mixed with such explosive energy

While the anger goads me to SHOUT, KICK or SCREAM

The pain makes me want to just numb out

But the doubt is tempting me to figure stuff out
And to even spell it all out

I’ve never in all my days
Been so horribly mixed up
Feeling what I can’t touch
Dealing out such tough love

Is all this agony really what love is made of?

I WAS NOTHING TO YOU.
YOU WAS SOMETHING TO ME.
SOMETHING I WANTED TO PERSUE.
YOUR TIME WAS LIMITED.
MINES WAS LIKE A DOCTOR ON CALL WAITING FOR A PATIENT TO FALL.
YOU GAVE ME STRESS.
WHEN I GAVE YOU MY BEST.
FOR I HAVE LOVED YOU.
BUT THAT WAS NEVER A THOUGHT FOR YOU.
I GAVE YOU MY HEART.
YOU PLAYED WITH ME FROM THE START.
