JOURNEY TO MY HEART

It was a long drive searching for love
I was looking for a place miracle happens
I was hoping for my dreams to come true
The sky is cloudy; I feel the smile of the sun
It reminds me the day task is far from done
Am not worried I might be running out of fuel

It never crossed my mind that I might lose my way
The sign posts in my heart will lead me to these love
The bridges I cross lift my spirit up
The sea reminds me how thoughts flow through my mind
The world may be crowded with beautiful damsels
But I am only looking for one heart that connects with mine

I only have one destination that I am searching for
Though there will be bumps and traffic on the way
I will be patient even if it takes me all day
The journey is long as I embark on my quest
To prove that love could mean so much to a man
For I will keep on searching everyday

Until the day I find these love I seek

THE MARKET OF LIFE

We are trading our lives in the world we live in
Every woman her dignity and pride trade for love
There is no price tag on a man's head
But his worth what he believes and bears within
He is valued by his shortcomings and achievements in life
The world will appreciate the memories you leave in their lives
Some came to sell there lot to survive, others in our hearts leave a smile
In life, there is nothing about you that's invaluable
Your relationship with people around you shows how caring and accommodating you are
It shows how we impact the people around us and the world at large
And the beauty of our heart as sold to the world we live in and within us
Life will forever exist in our heart and mind
We've all got something to offer to someone that’s in need, maybe a word that’s kind
We trade our joy with people suffering around us
We give hope to the broken hearten and their spirit lifted up

And forfeit one's love to help heals a man's negative perception of life

I SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS

I see you in my dreams like you are a part of it

Walking down the street with thoughts of catching a glimpse of you

I followed the footpath leading my heart to you

Heard a dog barking from a distance that you are near

Wished time can tell how long it takes to hold you in my arms

Wished I had a life line or a clue how to get you of my mind

So I don't have to look over my shoulder not to miss you when you pass by

Just a hug from you is all I need to ascertain what I feel is real

I know my feelings are genuine, I wouldn't trade it for the world

Can you stand still for a while so I can kiss your lips?

Hold your hands while we journey together a life time

Every man needs a companion; I just found mine in you

I stopped praying for a miracle a fortnight

Because I have found a special person in you
