ECLIPSE

  

Wished there is a reason why the world is cruel

Why the sun is fading away and out of reach

Hearts threatened with diseases and love forsaken

No hands the grieved to console and hold

Dressed in a mournful state of imperfection

Sand and storms the heart it cloud

No soul a song to sing to uplift the spirit

Hope sealed and incarcerated

Shadows cast out from our midst

Bridges abound, walls of peace and joy forsaken

Life goes on in obscurity and dent

Living in a world deprived of choices

Fate a remedy of an unforeseen future

And life's breached at the shore of her redemption

EVERY THING I DO

Everything I do, I do it all for you

Life for long has been resentful

But since I met you it's been completely graceful

You cover my heart with your love, that’s unforgettable

No bridges can weigh down my feelings for you

My heart is filled with your smile, everyday it’s brand new

You turned my nights into day, that's no lie

Now I can walk through the hands of time

My feelings I can no longer borrow

I now know with you the world will be beautiful tomorrow

All my life I have being searching for a heart 

For you have made my brightest dream come true

Everything I do is all for you

Because I love you more than you think I do

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
