BLUE NIGHT




It rained heavily and I couldn't hid from her beneath the trees
She kissed my tentacles as I felt her soft touch on my lips
The evening was deep and the stars all gone
The wind was modest; she didn't want me out on the cold all alone
She gave me a pat on the back to move on
I ran in the rain as I head towards home
I wouldn't want my heart wet for I had no one at home 
Wished I knew not to had asked Cynthia to spend the evening back home
Guilt wouldn't allow me give her a call
How will I explain to her that my night will be colder?
When I told her earlier I was good, that tonight she need not bother
I embraced my fate for its going to be a long and cold night
Seems the rain understood my thought
Like she didn't mean to spoil my night
The out-pour got paused for few minutes for she was sober
She wished she could apologies by giving me a hug on the shoulder
Gratefully, I hit home and try to forget my misery
I prayed for an angel to come visit me tonight
And touch my heart where it's lonely most tonight

CAN I BE THE ONE FOR YOU?




Can I be your anchor?
To keep your heart from drifting away

Can I be your sun?
To wipe away your tears when it rain

Can I be your umbrella?
To shade your burden when life is sunny

Can I be your paper?
So you can write down the things in your heart that makes you smile

Can I be your carpenter?
To design the furniture you need to make your life beautiful

Can I be the diamond in your life?
So you can look at me always with pride

Can I be your butler?
 I want to get you all the things you need in life

Can I be your companion?
And journey together with you through life

Can I be your cook?
To prepare you dishes from the recipe of my heart

Can I sit beside you to keep you company?
To be there for you to share in your dreams

Can I be the one for you?
 When you need someone to hold your hands on the alter
And help you take care of the kids

Can I be there for you?
 To take you somewhere far away
Where we can watch the sun smile all day

NEVER AGAIN




Never again will I say goodbye
Since you've been gone my heart is left ajar
I have for days traveled afar
But can't find what makes my heart smile
Just a thought of you makes the day sunny
Evening and morning each day may not be found
That’s how I have been since you've not been around
My heart is fragile; it's hanging on a string of thoughts of you
When you are around life is completely beautiful

Never again would I say goodbye
Nothing could afford to heal my heart if not you
I have been out searching for you
Every night I dream about you
The star and moon missed you too
For your love glow whenever they are around you
I will journey to mars and pluck you a scarlet rose
And plant for you a garden watered with kisses
To show how much I want to be again in your arms
For your care, love and affection I will long forever
