THE LIFE BEYOND (Tribute to Nelson Mandela)



Tribute to Nelson Mandela
  

It was just like a dream when we heard you are gone 
You were selfless and undoubtfully a king among kings
Every breath you took was to liberate the wellbeing of a brother
The tears you shared and the will you fought for
Are not in vain, you left us the zeal to fight on
The zeal to fight for equality for all sundry
Your glory touches the sky as heaven glorifies with you
In everyman's heart there is a whisper of your retribution and strive to mankind 
You fought for the weak and the oppressed
You are a true leader, a visionary with great perspective.
Your courage and achievements will forever be remembered
And your name will be written on the tomb stone of our very hearts
Your spirit will continue to live with us and fight for the less privileged
The world is so big but you are bigger than life itself
You will be celebrated on earth and in our heart
Farewell our son, brother, father, grandfather and great leader
We thank you for your selfless services to humanity
You can be rest assured that what you lived and fought for will not be forgotten
We love you; we regret and wish we can do more than extol your name
Because someone like you are rare and are never found common

May your soul rest in perfect peace Nelson Mandela

HAVE YOU SEEN HER?
















As I was walking down the street
I heard a whispering sound
It was feeble that I could barely understand
I felt by instinct that it whispers to me
That she is around nearby
I horridly looked back
Hoping I will catch sight of her at a glance
But did not because it was just a mere imagination

I behold her face everyplace
She is always in my mind and my dreams
But where could she be?
Because I need her so close clenching me tightly
That I can feel the warmth of her bosom
A sensation that will remain in my memory for years
Her smile is gentle as the sea when it is dawn
As I am entrapped in my thoughts

I woke up but realized I was caught up in an eclipse
Would I behold her that I have dreamt this much of
Because it hurts so much
I imagined how delighted it would be
If only I can catch a glimpse of her 
And feel the warmth of her body
Kiss her pretty lips to assert 
How much I would love to be with her

My wounded heart has not to be healed
I have been having nightmares
And am afraid I might drench in this misery
If I do not find her soon, I will not be sane
I do not care how much it may cost me
I beget to find her so badly, to seize me
From this misery and put back life in me
And render my world a reality

MY CONFESSION














Every day I Blame Myself
I Have Someone As Precious As You
A Diamond I Cannot Trade
But It Seems I Don't Care Much
Am Sorry It’s Not That I Didn't Care About You
I Have Wanted To Call A Million Times
To Apologize For Not Keeping My Love Right With You
Sometimes I Stood Alone
I Picture How Beautiful The World Is
But Despise It Because You Are Not Here With Me
You Are Right If You Hate Me
I Can't Imagine Myself Forgiven You
Had You Treated Me This Same Way
But My Heart Tells Me You Still Love Me
And I Believe You Do

You Have Taken A Piece Of Me
So Precious That If I Lose It
My Life Will Never Be The Same Again
Please I Am Guilty Of All Charges
Find Somewhere In Your Heart
And Consider My Appeal
I Still Want To Be Part Of Your Life
To Share In Your Pain, Sorrow An
d Joy
To Be Beside You
To Hold You When You Fall
My Life Will Be Incomplete
If One Day I Wake Up
And Don't Find You By My Side
I Love You More Than You Think I Do
