MOONLIGHT

For the picture challenge

Can you show me a path
I seem to be lost in my heart
I don't know if I can find true love
But my feelings are burning up inside

The world is blur, but not in my dreams
I keep seeing your faces in my dreams 
I wish the night stays up forever
So we can watch the moon and stars together

A LONESOME ROAD

Life on a lonesome road

Is deserted and crippled by awful deed

Its only thorns and weeds can find

Darkness and lost souls dammed

Life on a lonesome road

Scattered by emotions compromised

The heart no memories, for love's dead

Broken dreams blown away, to the wind it feed

Life on a lonesome road

Worst than seeking for bread

Washed away, like time and season off the sand

Dreadfully on a journey the world can’t tamed

Life on a lonesome road

Filled of feelings unresolved and unshared

Joy and happiness gracefully is unfold

To a heart and conscience treasured as gold

WAKE UP FROM YOUR SLUMBER

Wake up from your slumber and see the light

The reason things aren’t working is because you are not putting up a fight

If you look up the sky but can't find a star

Wait a little longer; the night is not out of sight

From afar you can sense the joy that comes with a smile

The excitement in a heart missing someone dearly for a while

At the end of the field you can find a pathway

Life will always throw challenges your way

Don't just sit there weeping in dismay

Wake up; you've got a long day ahead of you

Success you can achieve, doesn't matter if the sky is not blue

The one thing holding your ambition back, is you

I AM NOT A PROPHET

I am not a prophet, but only speaking my mind

If we keep on compromising our pride, the world will be devastated

I have seen children neglected and suffering

Sisters rapped, mothers shedding tears, brothers on the field dying

The church no longer a sanctuary, but an unholy refuge

Pastors and priests, hypocrites in converge

The corrupted run to her but are pardoned

The innocent seeks her aid but are rejected

Man walks among the earth with no mind and soul

Lust and greed, the heart and mind made whole

Fate held on every hand as man lost his faith in God

Conscience deteriorating everyday away from the will of God

IN SEARCH FOR A LEADER

In search for a leader that understands how the people feel

A leader with integrity, whose heart is pure as the stream

A leader that is steadfast and corruption free

A leader whose mind is calm and understands free will

A leader willing to go extra mile

A leader whose ambition is not dead but alive

A leader that can provide shelter when the storm comes

A leader who appreciate the people living a peaceful life

A leader without a reason to sell his birthright

A leader who accepts fault when his decisions are not right

A leader who sit amidst the people, bear their grievance and pain

A leader seeking for service, a selfless service to humanity without gain

A POEM FOR MAMA

Oh mama, what will I do without you?

How far would I have gone, if not for you?

You taught me how to walk and crawl

You taught me to stand up tall when I fall

You taught me there is no shame in failure

Every man need have something to fight for

You are the brightest of all the stars

You groomed me into a man under your wings

Fortunes and luxuries can’t match the sacrifices

The love, affection, care, support and tears

Through difficult times, you bleed for me

Thousands of miles, your words abide still with me

You taught me I could change the world

You believed in me, despite i was just a little boy 

I would never lose a smile, if the world falls

You are made in heaven, the day the sun calls

CONVICTION

Do you need a reason to smile?

Do you need a reason to be happy?

Do you need a reason to be sad?

Do you need a reason to be angry?

Feelings only makes us human

Emotion sometimes get the best out of man

Why wait for a reason to express the mind

Feelings expressed sincerely are unharmed

QUARTER PASS THE MOON

Its quarter past the moon

The night silent for a moment

Dreams are crawling, hopes perishing

The wind's calming the night

But shadows of men are out of sight

Life seem cursed, hope the world survive

For life is weighing on a thin line

The moon profusely praying for man

NIGHT AND DAY

Night and day may not be the same
Forget about the worries, it will fade
You've got a life to live this day
Nothing but God can lead the heart a way
Feel the heartbeat and the beauty inside
Tomorrow is unknown yet we plan to survive
You are not walking in the dark alone
You are not fighting the battles in life alone
Hold on, time can't obstruct a man's destiny
God hasn't stopped walking with you and me
Wipe away the tears, its just a matter of time
One can spend life with God in prime
If in one's heart he can hold on to God's hand

UNDER THE CLOCK

Life is under the clock

Profound by the days outcome

Time running between the evening and morning

Every second, a reflect of life deprecating

Dream is deserted, the clock running free

The world is timid, shattered by war and greed

Under the clock life stood, every second running wide

If today the clock paused, the world will lose memory of time

WHAT YOU SEEK

If you are looking for an answer

Search your heart, you will find it there

Everything you seek in life, she could help

She sees the world long before you

She knows what its like been scared

Sad, confused, lost, because she has been there

Take a moment, reflect and speak to the heart

The answer you seek is inside your heart

LEAN ON ME

Lean on me, I wouldn't let you fall

If you are weary, I will carry you on

You've got my shoulder to relay on

Through trouble time and temptation

Lean on me when you are not strong

I will be a friend if the world is gone

I will be your pillow to comfort you

Make you smile when the morning dew

Leon on me, if your heart is broken

And if for a reason your joy is stolen

I will lend a helping hand

Friends stick together till the end

SOMEONE HELP ME

Can someone help me before I lose my mind?

Can someone help me before I lose my wife and child?

Everyday and night on the street, it get my spirit high

Recklessly on the wheel, steering a heart blur and ready to fly

Its destroying my future, my home, my marriage and my pride

Six years gone down the drain, holding too long to the past that's died

I fell in love to liquor and life turned completely upside down

I couldn't anymore find happiness, if I am today not high

Life is miserable, couldn't find a decent reason the heart to sustain

I put my family through jeopardy, regrets, shame and also pain

I got callous and couldn't faced my problems as a man

My wife is paying the faults of giving up her dream to be with her man

I am so sorry I made my family cry, on my knees, I asked God for a new start

I want to be a loving husband, who buys his wife flowers that matches her heart

Take his family out and treat them like angels they deserved

Always there to care and leave in their heart a smile forever bind

But my flesh is weak and weary to fight this foe

The heart is fragile and can't fight the urge to say no

Can someone help me before things get out of hand?

Can someone please help me, I need to get these misery out of my mind?
