Ecstatically Igniting

I've got so many things I wanna say to you
And too many words to let you know
But it sums up to one thing
And it's simply I love you.

I think I'm in love to the damnedest extent
And you fully occupy my heart
That even when I close my eyes
There is nothing I see but you

When you stare at me,these eyes of mine are burning
They're ecstatically igniting
My heart is intensely beating
Filled with this eccentric feeling.

When the sun is shining, I wanna be with you
And even when it's raining
Nothing could ever quench the heat
No one can abate my heartbeat.
You are the one that makes me keep on surviving
You are the air that I'm breathing
You are the life that I'm living
Without you, I think I would die.

Dilemma

What shall I do?
When the clouds are dark
And the rain is heavy?

How can I prevent
The lovely flowers from dying
And the river from drying?

Where should I go
When the roads are blocked
And the path is rough?

Where would I rest
When the ground is burning
And the flame is rushing?

Tell me how?
How will I face my woes?
Tell me what to do...
When are busy and
Screaming is impossible?

When the light turns dim and the
blanket is cold?
When air blows my sanity deep
into the ocean
And hungry sharks come close?

What can I do?
With my fears and dilemmas?
When words don't seem to divulge
in a soulful manner?
When dilemma cast me down
into a downfall?
Sigh, as the shallow of water
came running through my eyes.
...And I have no choice but
shatter and cry.

Your faith converted me
to faithlessness, for your
beliefs deny my existence
crucifies my ability to
love, refuses to redeem
and save me own my own
terms. I refuse to accept that
I am a sin that I come from a long
line of fornicator,
from ancient biblical
stories of men being
punished by fire and
brimstone for wanting
to know angels - a
euphemism for forbidden longings,
patriarchal holier-than-thou,
black-and white notions of good
and evil, right and wrong,
heaven and hell...
the lie that has become
the truth of our sad
existence. A lie that needs
to be confronted and defeated. In
truth, I will burn in hell or
live in heaven as much as
you do. I am as sinful or
as sinless as you are. I can
be as... passionate,
compassionate, wild
imaginative, creative,
loving, hateful, sad, vile
as you are. I can be
warrior, princess,elder,
prince, king, queen, man,
woman... anything I am, I
want to be and can be. I
can be whoever I want to
be. This I have learned,
accepted, celebrated about
myself. This I have
known long before your
faith almost and continues
to attempt to
destroy... nothing is ever
black and white...I reject
your faith... I accept the
call of life...

Pool of Tears

The world is dark
So unfair
So untrue
How can the cards of life
Be stacked against you?

Too many broken promises
Too many pools if tears
Too many shattered dreams
God in heaven, come near.
God sends us hope and dreams
To conquer all our fears
And let us soar like eagles
Across the pool of tears.

Everywhere Is Home

Everywhere I walk
Everywhere I roam
I am in my father's house
So everywhere is home

I live among the great big tree
My ceilings painted blue
My carpets are woven
With thick green grass
Covered with a heavy dew

If I want entertainment
I always have a show
Birds are singing
butterflies are dancing

Everywhere I walk
Everywhere I roam
I am in my father's house
So everywhere is home

Have You Ever Wondered About Nature?

THE FOREST, THE MOUNTAINS, THE VALLEYS AND THE RIVERS
FOREST, WHERE ANIMALS RUN WILD
MOUNTAINS, SO STRONG AND NO ONE CAN MOVE
VALLEYS, WHERE BEAUTY FLOWS AND ENDLESSLY
RIVERS, IT HUSHES UNTIL IT REACHES THE OCEAN

THE CHILDREN PLAY IN THE RAIN
THE THUNDER ROARS AND EVERYBODY FEARS
THE STORMS THAT BRINGS THE LOWLANDS TO HELL
THE PEOPLE WHO WORK UNDER THE SUN

AND WHENEVER THE SUN SMILES
I GO OUT TO THE FIELDS TO SEE THE DAFFODILS
SWINGING UNDER THE TREE, RUNNING AROUND THE FIELD
SLEEPING ON THE GRASS
DRINKING WATER FROM THE FLOWING RIVER

WITH MY FRIENDS, I THINK
THIS IS GOD'S GRANDEUR TO US
AND WE SHOULD TAKE CARE OF IT
WHAT A WONDERFUL NATURE WE HAVE
IT BRINGS PLEASURE TO US.

Her Diamonds

The lady with a crown has got emeralds
Glittering like a midnight ocean.
Shall she sleep with rings in hand
She thinks I'll steal them,
As she lays down.
She should sleep with pillows
And prayers to God!
For she might die silent in her slumber.
Oh, how poor is she!
The revered might say
Her soul might be stared at, by an imp's eye
Says she gives her emeralds to the poor?
Never! She says,
But she slumbers in beauty
With her silent diamonds.

My Green, Green Grass

I saw my fields green, a minute ago
Now a pale goat on grasses that grow
It's but a minute that passed
Maybe tomorrow I'll cut the grass

The pale goat ran before tomorrow
Like a phoenix, escaped from snow
The goat is gone, says the crow
Should I grip the bird's claw?

And find the pale goat who've visited my grass
That forces me the grass to cut
With heedless determination- but
Frail hands, sure won't last

And so I'll stay between these meadows
Or inside my old house and watch by my windows
And never for a pale goat, to let it pass
To eat what is mine, my green, green grass!

Rockstar

The guitar's a nuisance
The wire's entangled
Every drum goes breaking
No mic can capture the voice
He sat in his couch
Stood up got his old dusty violin
And disappeared forever...

Awareness

The little child was dreaming,
In a perfect world he stays
No fighting, no hassles
It's like a mind boggler
He saw the moonlight
In the ever dark gray sky
A lightning flashed
Every vow was broken
Beyond his reality...
He mumbled a silent prayer
For all those in trouble
For all those in need
And through the things that seem unfair
He found himself in peace...

Mother of the Nation

Part of me I know its you
You gave your life for me to live
You've sacrifice too much, and I'll thank you
By this piece,from me, I offer only to you.

Why do I keep feeling this deep inside me?
The feeling that you don't even really love me
When you'll catch me on the place I shouldn't be
Given the punishment that you'll regret surely

Sometimes I feel that you are one of my enemies
You never let me go to the place I want to be
You always disagree on the things that I suggest
You keep on saying: "Mother knows best."

I really don't understand why you misunderstood
You always contradicted all my opinions
I have come to the point that I'll fight you back
Again, you'll say, "don't start". Then turn your back

Then there was this one time I didn't listen
I came to you, I was crying
I told you what had happened
And asked you, "Am I forgiven?"

You just sighed and held my hand
Whispered words that you always had
I looked into your eyes and then I realized
Your words are full of love that give life.

Now I know what you really mean
I promise you I will never argue again
Your words, I made them my inspiration
Because you deserve to be called, "Mother of the Nation."

True Love

God must not know about giving up
He must not have heard of the word enough
Heaven must be filled with nothing but love
How else could He go on loving me without a stop

His ears must be closed to open the complaints I have
His eyes blind to the black spots I made of my life
His anger must be not like mine or does He have
Why does He care for me, I am nothing but a crap

Or is that how He defines this thing we call love
Sometimes beyond my comprehension and grasp
What have I to deserve such compassion from above
It's as simple as manifesting True Love.

Anyway

If only I knew you'd love me anyway
Then I should not have left so hastily
Doin' foolish things, having my way
Thinking I am a hero, survivor come what may

I climbed steep mountains to make you proud of me
Swam in deep oceans, sailed the roughest sea
Got no idea, these pursuits worried thee
Thou prayed amidst, danger won't befall me

Stupid indeed, lost in nonsense anxiety
How couldn't I have known, how blind I must be
To have lost sight, oh how could I not see
There's just no prize, no nothing I can pay

So tired of trying, confused to take which way
Made a mess of my life searching wearily
Of the way back home, back to thee
To thy lovin' arms knowing you'd love me anyway

Like A Love

Like a love is a timid music
Its melodies could bring out a sigh,
Its cruel sound;
Could break a heart so fragile...

Like a love is a new song;
A premature lullaby,
To every young heart,
Of the sweet sixteens...

Like a love is an archer's game;
When cupid begins to play,
It tickles the heart;
With his bow may give the touch...

Like a love is an afternoon sail;
It begins its way,
It continues its voyage,
With the glittered midnight's gleam.
It reaches its destiny;
With the sunrise, beacon of a daylight's glare...

That Much

I love you that much
...it comes with love
I understand you that much
...it comes with love
We'll sacrifice that much
...for it comes with love
Parting ways hurt that much
...it comes with love
Have faith that much
...for it comes with love
Have patience that much
...it comes with love
Remember, HE suffered that much
...for it comes with love...from above.

Destiny

Sometimes fear lives in my heart
Like what happens to any other human beings,
I don't know why and what
Should I be afraid of?
Maybe it's just a damned thing within me.

Fear of falling and failing make me sick
Not because I may be weak
But because
I am anxious about my own self
Not knowing where should I be.

Suddenly I found myself trapped
In an unknown destiny
I should discover the reality,
Somehow, no one could give a piece of pity,
To a lost soul like me.

Is this the place
...That I am destined to be?
I'm left alone
And no one could help me
Could someone lend a hand?

I never thought,
I never wondered,
I never planned,
And I am never prepared
For this kind of agony!

And then a light
A very bright light
Shone upon my face
It gave me hope
To struggle up and move on.

That light came from a girl
She was just standing in front of me
A very simple girl
Whom I admire so much
She extends her hand, she helps me out.

She was the girl...
Whom I'd been longing for,
And maybe, this is the right time,
The right time to know her,
To know her better and beyond herself.

But then, I awoke, this thing was just a dream
A dream that someday, somehow will come true,
The girl in my dream,
Would be someday real...
but in due time...

Our Song

I am lying on my bed
Just with my pillows
My eyes have turned to red
'Cause I'm filled with sorrows
I've got a wound in my head
And day-by-day it grows
As I keep on thinking of you
I can't help it no matter what I do.

I turned on the radio
Just to pacify
Myself from the heartaches
You left when you said goodbye
I realized my mistakes
As I'm hearing our song
Played by the radio that says
"Only in my arms is where you belong"

And now that I am alone
Inside this dark room
I just keep on crying
While I hear our song bringing
Back the memories of you
The things you love to do
And the moments we're singing
This melody with our hearts rejoicing.

I would never fall asleep
And I would just weep
With sorrows so deep
Although I seem like a creep
Still forever would I keep
Our song here deep inside'
In my window, I'd always peep
Waiting for you to come back by my side

I will keep on singing'
Our song in my heart
I will keep on smiling
Although we area apart
And I will keep on waiting
Just for you to come back
My lonely heart is still hoping
That someday, you would be there to knock.

Precious Moments

Expensive gifts and jewelry,
These you're always sending me,
That sometimes I can no longer see,
What inner value do these carry
These are nice and beautiful, it's true
But compared to the heartfelt
Laughter shared with you,
These are all of so little value.
No high-priced gifts or jewelry will do
Because I prefer spending precious moments
With you.

Our love has been assaulted many times, and I am
convince that it's true
The longer I am away from you, the greater is my yearning
to be with you again. You I
I cherish any thought of you, prize any memory of you that
rises from the depths of my mind, and live for the day
when our physical separation will no longer be. I
Remember that I always believe in you.....
Take Good Care and.....I love you.....

So I Say Goodbye

(To all the girls I love before...)

I'm going into this not knowing what I'll find
But I've decided to follow my heart and abandon my mind
And if there be pain I know that at least I gave my all
And it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all
In the morning, I may wake up to smile or maybe cry
But first to those of my past, I must say goodbye.

Genesis

(Dedicated to those Curious)

First was nothing
Not even the faint echo a song
Loneliness was daily for me
Until you came along

There was a gleam of stars in your eyes
I thought I'd never feel this way again
But you were the one to reach into my heart
And found in me a friend

I could not ignore the magnetism
That I felt when you were near
And any problem plunging in my mind
Had suddenly disappeared

It was the rebirth of my heart
The day you became my fiend
Because I knew from the moment
I held you that I would find love again
