Dangling by a seeming thin thread,
Past outcrop, looking down,
Five hundred metres down,
Sheer drop, sheer dread,
See the ledge to the left,
Bright sunlight,
Nothing’ but air to the right,
If I can just reach that cleft….
So shift my weight,
To the right, then the left,
Carabiner locked, no energy left,
In the hands of God and fate,
Rope walks on the sharp edge… begins to chafe,
This is it…Last pendulum swing,
Lose or win, swing baby swing,
As the maximum push creeps you out….
Of the safe…..

I heard the news today..
A missing Angel?
A big reward?
A guy from heaven?
could that be you?..

The discription is yours
for sure..
I rushed to say that I found you..
In disbelief that it was so
I wonder what was my reward.

I drove three miles
I couldn't wait
for I knew it was you..

Alot of people everywhere
from left to right
no space..no room
too tight
oh my..
They must be mistaken
for they said only one was missing..

I waited in line only wishing
that they wouldn't take you back
For many good times we had
For many talks in quiet nights

I looked around
and became so sad..
I moved..
took three steps back.

my heart raced
The thought of losing you..
No reward could compare to you...

It was my turn..
I held my breath
couldn't speak
had just frozed..
saw your pic..
I cried and walked.

God called me back
He spoke to me
saying," Don't be so sad my child"

The reward is Him
for you to keep
For I don't want him back
I only wanted for someone like you
to keep him happy and care for him

My heart rejoice in disbelief
I didn't want to lose my love today
had my reward the whole while
and I didn't know

I am glad that I found my angel..
Because you are my reward...

Once upon a time
In a far ancient country
There was a beautiful lady
But with low IQ

She traveled all the long way to a strange place.
What a wonderful place!

There were beautiful rivers flowing around green mountains
But also had bottomless abysm covered with flowers
There were fragrance flowers
But also had poisnous weeds around birds
There were nice birds singing sweet songs
But also had terrible yap from wild wolf

Surrounding with all the colourful amazing scene
And a lot unknow leaves flying around her
She couldn't find the direction
Especially when she lost her compass

She lost her dear compass
But besides the compass
She also lost her heart!

Oh, silly woman!

What she could only do is
Go back to her old place
With her low IQ brain!

I've felt the strength of
the runner who runs
I've felt the joy of the
painter who paints
I've felt the passion of
the singer who sings
I've felt the thought
of the thinker who
thinks
I've felt the emptiness
of those who hunger
I've felt the sorrow of
the prophet who weeps

Are you willing to give your soul to someone you you don't know. Are you willing to give everything when you know you have nothing. Are you willing to sacrifice your essence to experience their conscience. Are you willing to love just like me giving your heart so unconditionally.

Can not find the words to tell you
How much I love you.
So Mother heres a rose for you!
I try so hard to show you
with kisses and hugs.
It's not enough so,
Mother heres a rose for you!
I hope you understand.
Mother you are the
Rose in my life.
I know your heart is filled with love for me.
And every day I watch it bloom!
So Mother heres a rose for you!

Let me introduce you to my friend, the dream
I live between his hollowed walls
I sleep on clouds and bathe in waterfalls
It's my safe haven from heaven and hell
The dream, the only place I dwell

In the still of midnight,
She gets to her knees and starts to pray
To ask the Lord please.....
To send a man, who'd be a father and husband
Loving, patient and true,
A teacher... of how to build and fly a kite
Who'd help a little girl ride
her bike.....
A lover who'd hold her tender.....
Now and forever
A friend to whom all secrets she'd tell.....
Who'd rub her back
When she didn't feel well.....
Hold his hand, take walks in the park
To pass him tools,
And be there even when things got dark
In thick and thin, stay by his side
Lord...... she prayed,
I want to be some good man's
Bride.

oh how the weary tread
taking each step as if the one before hurt and the next one will not get any better
taking each breath as if the one before nearly killed them and the next they will surely die

holding onto their sorrows
afraid to let go because they fear losing a piece of themselves
afraid to let go because they feel that without them they will be alone

always looking over their shoulder
never looking beside them
never looking ahead of them

why won't you let me embrace you
does your heart beating not excite you
does your spirit flying not entice you
does the thought of me not scare you

i will only look over my shoulder
to learn from the errors of my being
i will only look over my shoulder
to remember the moments that made me who i am
i will only look over my shoulder
because someone whispered in my ear

i will always look beside me
watching you looking away
yearning for you look at me
i am here now
why can you not see me
please turn around

i will always look ahead of me
seeing my hand in yours
looking into your eyes
embracing you
exciting you
enticing you
scaring you

please look ahead of you
or we will walk alone
