A THOUSAND TIMES








When hope is lost, the heart problem filled

The world crowded with regrets and greed

When life can't accommodate friendship and love

Suicidal thoughts the mind triggered off

The body weak, doubts can't fight

The cloud deserted of stars at night

I will hold firm the crutch that lifts the spirit

I'll find where countenance resides in the heart

If a thousand times over I fall

I will pick up the pieces from the start

PERCEPTION







I see heaven weighing down
The burden of world pulling the sky
Sin gradually destroying the world
Time reading anti clockwise, future taken out of hand
Life is unstable, stars plucked out of the cloud

I see hope lost, man scavenging to survive
The world out of control, death and life decline
Eclipse amidst the earth each day
Feelings, emotions and love stolen away
No sun, no moon, nor wind to whisper

I see gratitude hiding behind a frame
Storms in everyone's heart tamed
Season forgotten and hope slipping away
Shadows walking aimlessly like a stone way
I see only a miracle the world and life renewed

A GLASS OF WATER






Fetch the soul a glass of water
She needs to drink away the tears
It’s been sunny lately like forever
And drought encompassed the heart
Can't find a cloud hope to shelter
Life drifting between time
All she seek is a cup of water
For a soul suffering overdue
