WISH I DON'T HAVE A HEART

I wish my heart can stay away from you

Away from the star, the sun and moon

I wish I can turn back the hands of time

When feelings can be trade and not at its prime

I wish never had falling in love with someone so beautiful

In the morning there wouldn't be scent of roses by the window

I wish life is deprived of guilt

Maybe I can stay away without a heart that's ruined

I wish on the phone could tell you undoubtedly how I feel

So you wouldn't have to wait forever to find out if my love for you is real

I wish tomorrow's out of reach and free

And time borrowed away from today's misery

I wish life was a fairy tale, who my heart is cast a spell

My feelings locked and lost in a castle not for sell

I wish the night stays up forever

No day to heal or make a heart already broken better

I wish my lips are seal, so I wouldn't have a reason to lie

I wish the flowers withering in my heart will live and not die

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
