MY WORLD

My parents are heaven and earth

My home is my body

My power is my loyalty

My life is death and breath

My body is control

My eyes are the sun and moon

My ears sensitivity

My law is self protection

My strength is adaptability

My ambition is my dreams

My friend is my mindfulness

My enemy is carelessness

My protection is right action

My weapons are my hands

My strategy is one foot in front

My trust is known off the other

And my God but no man

UNDER THE WIND

Under the wind life seems

Shadows comprehend a man's dreams

Clouds above the earth peace unforeseen

Silence in the morning and dew not seen

Laughter not enough to plant the earth a seed

Grievance chasing tomorrow from our midst

Sun unable to see the path man needs to be freed

The world can't provide meat the body to feed

Scar of mourning the heart bleeds often

The world changed for life is forgotten

Hope prey the feelings from suffering

Wish the wind don't blow away man's dream
Love and joy in life man crave

For under the wind does life seems

ANY TIME I THINK OF YOU

Any time I think of you

Sets my heart wide open

You left an ocean in my heart

You left a reflection of loneliness and tears in my heart

Sun shine can't wipe away the tears and regret

I promised the heart I would not cry

But my feelings can't forever be lock inside

The world is forever beautiful but in my dreams

I am scared of waking up to a morning of guilt

And regrets of how you slipped away from my hands

My thoughts keep holding on to you

Your love he can't afford to loose

Anytime I think of you, I feel blue

I wish there is something I could do
