LOVE IS FOREVER

My girl, its only you that I have
The bright and shining star in my life
The precious gem stored in my heart
I will cherish you forever

Forever, I'll hold you close to my heart
Lite for you a thousand candle-light
I don't want to ever see you sad
Nor spend the rest of your life lonely inside

They say love fades in the lapse of time
That nothing in life last forever
This does not apply to you
You made my world beautiful

YOU ARE SPECIAL

There is a point in time the heart is fragile

To withstand the challenges of life

A time when hope is almost lost

And faith distrust

But at that one moment

A still tiny light sparks

Fill the heart with a renew strength

The courage to tramp upon

Weeds clustering the essence of life

Flowers cultivated that blossom

At night and also by the day

Irrespective whether the sun shine

The world becomes once more beautiful

I am lucky to have a sister loving and caring as you

Rare but unique in every way

For God made you on a special day

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

IF I WERE A GIRL

If I were a girl

I will be a rose in my mama's heart

Let God be my strength and guide

Always fighting for what is right

I would rely on my conscience and in her confide

We both share same emotions and feelings

The bible tells me to guide my body with envy

Its priceless, the world will treasure me

I am not perfect and prone to mistakes

But my heart wouldn’t be compromised

If at a point in life I want to cry

I've got to shed tears for the right reasons

When a guy ask me out

I would politely smile, tell him I am preoccupied

But if the heart tells me otherwise

I'll be conscious when I am hanging out

You would say I am a man living in a world of fantasy

I don't understand how a woman feels

But I do know mankind, God gave free-will

There is nothing wrong for one to be careful

If I were a girl

I will place my looks carefully

Buy a dress that matches the heart

Walk around with a woman's pride

I will learn to be independent

Learn when to walk away and when to trust in a man

If for a reason I have doubts in a relationship

I will ask God if I am falling in love with the right man

If I were a girl

I will support the dreams of my man

Give my kids’ mother’s unfeigned love

For a woman is the virtue of her man

A FOOL'S PARADISE

 
Life is but a fool's paradise
Every soul borrowed only for a while
A billionaire with a mansion on the cloud
A pop star worshiped by the crowd

What are the fates of men who once rule the world?
They dig up treasures and fortunes
Lust in wealth and recognition 
A mere tips of God's love 

No man can ever build is glory above God's plan
Don't you try comprehend or justify the reason
You deem it fit to wear a crown of selfishness and pride
Blame God's judgment for a falling man

We have unconsciously build a wall in our lives
Cage our blessings within a shallow minded heart
Have you ever tried to measure the length of the sky?
God purpose for man is gambled away

It's high time we put aside our differences
Get down on our knees to pray
Heaven wears a man a crown of righteousness
Some day repay him with eternal reign

It doesn't matter if you sell books or stones
The world gradually is heading to destruction
Are you really going to sit and watch her burn?
For life is but a fool's paradise

PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH

The world blames me that I am gay

Yet man can't appreciate or treat a woman right

I made a choice who I want to be

You got a girl pregnant, rejects her and abandoned her child

Now you want to start judging me

You say I've got no ambition

Yet you fell in love with liquor

Night and day you are on the street

You claim you're sober in pain, misery and frustration

Not lucid enough to take a decision

You say I am a sinner because I don't go to church

You worship God day in and day out

But could never forgive a brother

Who hurts you before you dare became a saint

Can't look him in the eyes, in your heart is hate

The world wants to castigate me, a murderer

Yet government abandons little children dying on the street

Many are homeless, sick and hungry

You are living in comfort, stole the people's treasury

And accused me I don't have a heart

You called me a prostitute wilting her life away

Yet you're sleeping with a man out of wedlock

At least I am not hiding behind the curtain

While you dress in white linen unclean underneath

What's your excuse for dragging my name on the mud?

Before you nail a brother's heart to a stick

First cast a stone on your self

To understand how much it hurts to bleed

No man is perfect, everyone is guilty of something

Do yourself a favor and practice what you preach

THE TRAGEDY OF LIFE

 
Children suffering, dreams crawling
The world crashing every morning
Souls to hell everyday burning
Stars falling, hopes dying
Ambition stolen, pride forsaken
Lust striving, love depreciating
Faith forgotten, peace fading
War thriving, cities falling
And life perishing

WOMAN NEED NO CRY

Oh what a feeling
Woman need no cry
The world is devastated
If not, why do man die?

I stroll down the neighborhood
All I see is human sacrifice
Maybe the world no longer need the sun
For tomorrow is bereft

Shattered dreams and destiny
Bore out of virginity
The heart clouded with faint memories
Of yesteryears crippling in tears

Sometime, all the world needs is hope
A string to pull the heart together
Every broken faith rekindled

Of life worth appreciated

LOST

In the heart wedge 

Is a soul lost in the dark

Scavenging to survive

In a world that's obsolete

MY MOTHER

You sat and watch over my infant years
Gave up a life time worth of sacrifice
And your comfort so for me you can be there
Today, I know you to be an angel

In your bosom I found
Love, care, compassion and hope
I grew up a humble man from a godly home
Taught me to stand upright when ever I fall

Told me moral stories under the moonlight
Why I don't need to fight to prove I am right
Because of you mother, I'll never lost my path
For you're my author and my guide

I've vowed to be a better man to my children and wife
And to love you the rest of my life
If I will write a song over and over again
I would say without mothers like you, the world would be disdain

NEVER FAR AWAY

I have seen
Just about everything in life
I have laughed
I have cried
I have snuggled with the one
And I have regretted
Ever knowing her
The one
And there are days
Unhappy days
Lonely days

Days that I wish could die stillborn
But they live
They survive to torment me
But peace
No matter how hidden
I will find it
It may elude me
But
It cannot do that forever
And my dreams
My ambitions

They are not far away
And
I have spoken to them
My dreams
They have agreed
To my lifelong pleas
They are not far away
They will come to be with me soon
Never far away
These things

TALES OF A DRUNKEN SOUL

 

Behind the under-brushes of this place
Is a mass of quivering flesh
That was once my soul
My heart has risen from it's stupor
And has woken for it's reverie
I hold nothing but pieces of my soul

Consumed by beer
Burnt by the nerve racking effects
Of wasted nights at the bar
My tale is of a broken man
 Who kept his family close
And drew his drinking closer to himself

A wave of tumultuous vomit overtakes me
And I purge out years of regret
In my tale of sorrow and anguish
I release a lifetime's collection of bottled up
emotions
That has been shown the way out
From my sober self
