I walked a long the weary lane,Of Browning trees as Autumn came.Alone with my dog and black thorn stick, In a nearby field where rabbits sit. They danced and played in the Autumn leaves, That fell like snowflakes from the trees. A burst of speed and a violent roar, And rabbits sit and play no more. A tall pine tree the wind brought down , to lay in contrast with the brown. But the brown again will turn to green, Where Autumn leaves so brown have been.

Dad and I would sail across the lake
Slicing through the foaming white caps
Outrunning those summer storms
Fearless as Viking gods
Sailing down the coast
Memories made
Sail again
Sail with
Joy

Rise all those who meet the description of desire,
Speak whose hearts are made of fire,
Dwell low who are liars,
Sing high, banned from the church choir,--
Of what was lost,
And, what is to become,
Those who have many,
And, the lonely hearts,
Who have chosen to be alone,--
Those who carry pleasure on a merry-go-round,
Step forward, those who wear a golden crown,
Faces of those who show happiness,
Behind a mask made of frowns,
Those who succeed up,
Leaving those who ever put you down,--
Learn the only value of life is death,
Between those who accept and those who deny,
Scream those in love,
Whisper love to those who said goodbye,
All of this within the wink of an eye,
Seeking the warmth of the day,
Cold fear, of what lurks in the night,--
Those who wonder to be,
And, those in some places are blind,
Still remaining able to see,
But, have lost a piece of mind.

About this poem:
It was 12-4-92 when I wrote this. Being towards very much more songwriter than poet, I started out loosely with this and it all took form. Odd as it seems, it was at the end of the Gulf War; yet, perhaps, it fits most best as of now?

Even today am here,
I wake up every day to look for you, I watch love stories and I imagine it is me and you,
Ohh source of my happiness one day we shall meet
Even today am here
Many scammers have come my way but I haven't given up on the search for you, I still believe you're there and we are soon meeting
My heart bleeds, my soul longs for you, my eyes want to see you
I want to give you gifts, teach you new African games, cook for you the best dishes because am a senior in this, watch interesting movies with you because it's my hobby, but I can't find you
24-34,it's you, I have strong hope that I will meet you you

How I'd like to
catch your nightmares
with my bare hands
and put them away
out of your reach.
How I'd love to
take away your insecurities
and replace them
with the wonderful thoughts
I have about you.
How I desire to
rip out your frustrations
and make you smile endlessly
maybe then you will see
how beautiful you are.

Every moment we've spent together,
Has touched our lives, our souls forever.
The things we share, the things we've done,
are permanent things we can't undo.
The person you are, heart and soul,
came to life, with emotion, desire and passion.
Because of you, I'm full of love,
it's all your fault, I'm loving you like this.
We are connected, wide and deep,
no one can remove, this connection we have.
Our feelings are blended, never to be undone,
you are part of me, forever and ever.
A part of me will always be you
and a part of you will always be me.
no matter what happens, that much is certain,
our souls are one, till that moment comes..
I will love your forever,
for worse or for better.
You are tattooed in my heart,
nothing can tear, our souls apart.
You'll always be mine,
with love and honesty, only for you!

I have decided to become senile,,, or whatever
to live without memory,, forever,
tis all a never ending cycle, i’m bored,, not dead,
want to be here,, not an obituary someone read,
how do I leave without dying?,,, how do I leave
without crying? I want everyday to be new,
Not live like most people do,
A wonderful new beginning,, that starts without
adam and eve sinning,
The answer is in us somewhere,,, that someone
some where said,,,,,, it all becomes clear,,,,,,,,,
when,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,we are dead.

The Wise man feels his imperfections and is humbled. He labors in vain for his own approbation. But the fool peeps into the shadow stream of his own mind and is pleased with the pebbles which he sees at the bottom. He brings them up, display them as pearls, and with the applause of others he delights in himself.

About this poem:
Many of us speak on things without root knowledge. And because of not having root knowledge we usually will speak about anything, positively or negatively, without full facts. We become self righteous on many levels and eventually become false prophets. And the more we attract ignorant crowds who embrace our incompleteness, the more monstrous we become.

My life dead my wife dead,
How can I find life when everything's dead Inside outside,
Why take my life why do you think I get into strife I am the underword, I'm am immortal, how you say you know me,
I'm not alive you are, I don't know why you believe in life we are all dead, well I have read, so are we alive or we dead? These are the voices the haunt my head, I once was happy, now I want to die, how come no one else was insane, I say this as a gift I'll soon be dead, I have had enough of life it's scrarred my head, I want you to know and learn I'm not doing it to hurt I have learnt death is better then life, I have been there many of times, one day we will see and I'll come back and tell thee, what life use to be, a matrix of lies

I search for the love one;
as i stare out of the window the zindy rain beats the glass,
I wish it could shower my pain so that i will feel that the one will know how deep i love him!
I dream of You wherever you are,
I've never known a feeling so strong, you're incredible, and I want to know you!
To love is not to experience a particular sensation in the heart; that emotion is but a reflex phenomenon, a detail of love at the least.
To love is to wish for the good, it is to give the best of one's self for the good of another;
it does not mean grasping for one's self; love means giving one's self.
Will You come to me please...
