BURNING PASSION









I am triggered with a burning passion

Till the canvas in my heart soar

I am matching a thousand miles

Bearing a cross nailed to the heart

The world, I hold ransom with my ink and paper

Life I comprehend, taking her up by force

I am matching to ecstasy, the world can't bind me

Don't dare me, I am carrying a virtue deep within

I have got the sun burning in my vein

The world on it knees, for I am yet in my prime

WHERE EVER YOU GO






Every where you go, every thing you do
Someone is outhere thinking about you
The sky may be far from where you are
A smile can show you care from afar

How often do you think about a friend?
Do you pray to God to watch over them?
We all live under the same blue sky chasing after dreams
Make a wish, hold it tight until it sparks into tiny beams

In every thing you do today, put a smile on someone's face
It tells the heart the world can be a better place
It gives one a sense of joy, of a life that's beautiful
A world, life can't get satisfy without you

Where ever you go, leave a piece of you that's memorable
Whatever you're passing through, the smile will comfort you
What an everlasting feelings bound by someone appreciable
A friend never get used to someone as special as you

PRISONER





Beneath the heart of broken shells
Lies a prisoner
With thoughts tied to fetters
Of man downcast with life of an outcast
I am here trickling the earth's ear
To lend an open ear

Beneath the smiles
Kissing the cheeks
Lies a prisoner
Tormented by the throne
Deprived the air
Of a golden scent

 And pushed to the dust
Where soles kiss and spat
Let the earth unzip its ears
And bear my thoughts
Those of a prisoner
With sagged trousers and dreams

The street is my abode
A slum with pride
Home to hearts
Tied to chains of agony
Destiny snores in my dreams
Here I march on tattered shoes
Scrubbing the streets with my broken heels
Till my life is free like birds in the wild
