THE PAINTING

With a brush in my hand, I painted a picture 

The canvass's washed with love and an eternal smile

Her hair carefully stroke with the passion of a rose

For her beauty was divine and far behold the clouds

Her eyes are as the vision of the stars and moon

Her lips are irresistible and alluring as the softness of the morning dew

Her hands is heavily touched, it ease the weariness of a man's emotion

It possesses the will to dissolves the burdens tormenting the heart

She understands the silence and beauty of the night

On her shoulder one can find peace of mind, strengths and comfort

In her presence forever flows with care and affection

She bears the feelings and touch of God's love for you and me

Her feet graced to resist pains and sorrow but to a man joy it redeem

I stare at the picture of God undefined creation in my life

Framed with a kiss and hug from heaven, a gift beseech to mankind

The portrait in my heart is the perception and reflection of you

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
