A RAINBOW SKY

Emotion tossed amidst a rainbow sky
Words scrambled like dry leaves falling from a tree
Barely alive for she was too frail
Carelessly shattered, too broken to lay on an emerald grass
Closed to obscenity, heard her heart beat profusely

As does a thousand footsteps
Treading tears bore out of sentiments
The smile from a fragile heart
The feeling of love cast out to rot
Dying in absent of a warm tight cocoon

DO YOU MIND IF I STILL LOVE YOU?

The past relationship we had is an awful story

Building on a foundation made of plastic

It crumbles when the wind comes at nightfall

I hurt you, do not know what I was thinking

Believe me when I say I am ready to learn how to love

I am not the same man once used to be

I have swallowed my pride and ready to cry

I have realized you are all that I need

Would you allow me to kiss you?

There is nothing I could do to cover your scar

Look at your mirror, do you see me in your heart

Because I am right here

Can I take you for a ride out of here?

It is better if you could the pain let go

I found out the way I showed that I care was stupid

I should not have gambled with your feelings

Every day it is you I am thinking off

My heart, car and home, I would let you have

Every foolish behavior and wrongful words said

Give me a moment, let me make it right

You are the first true love I knew
What need I do to re-write this love
Please babe, do not allow my plea amount to nothing
Because I am still in love with you

BATTLEFIELD

When you are in the battlefield

The enemy armed and ready for war

Drop your arms, throw up a white flag

It is high time to call for a truce

We want peace and no more war

How can we tell our children stories

Of violence, murder and destruction

And blame the gods for our deeds

On both side, war is self-destruct 

In our homes, loved ones are deceased

This brings sadness and hate

To an already dilapidated society

We ought to fight to save the world

Tyranny from harming our children unborn

When the sun set at the edge of a new day

Embrace one another with an open hand
