I MUST DANCE

I must dance while the music of life beats

Can't always achieve the things hoped for

It's a long journey from home to destiny

Had to dress the bed before I lay on it

There is no specific direction or pathway to life

Everyday fate I embraced with open arms

To wade away the guilt of an indecisive mind

Strife long overdue but the heart got to tag along

And harvest from sacrifices long made

For a man to be fulfilled and accomplished

Of a long journey away from home

TOSSED AWAY

Everyday life is tossed away

Like falling stars that can not be traced

A dark cloud seems to be above man's world

Shadows walk freely among men

The sun's stolen away from life existence

Life is lost and hope hidden from every soul

Scarlet smokes sprung and overwhelm the sky

Conscience is castaway 

Man is left as scavengers to survive

Life is but short, yet dreams are far away

Can not hold a grip anymore of man's existence

As the richness of life rots

I LOVE YOU

I have wanted to pour my heart out to you

But for a reason I developed a cold feet

I have told my heart a lot about you

He knows I will be deluded without you

Sometimes I feel like a kid when am around you

Can you give me a pat on the back?

And tell me it’s okay, that you love me too

People may think I am going insane for you

Even with a bottle of vodka I will still be lucid for you

Am starving and need your love

I might not know the recipe to your heart

But know one thing is for sure

That I love you and need you to love me back

Distance doesn't change how I feel about you

I will call you a million times

I will send dozens of text messages to you

Buy you a rose if it will help to prove to you

That I love this much about you

Because I really do, I love you
