DEAR JOSSETTE

I found out a long time ago 
I was not good enough for you
But somewhere in my heart 
Soberly I hoped it is not true 

Last time I saw you 
I was relieved you are not yet taken 
No one can withstand a thousand fall 
An emotion shattered into pieces 

You are my greatest weakness 
The love I found in you cannot be tamed 
Please Jossette, don't let me go 
I have got no where else to turn to 

I promise to be good lad 
Pick up the groceries, run errands for you 
The love I have for you is real 
It going to stand forever

BLACK SUN

Driven not to stay is compassion 
Happiness out of motion 
Darkness covers the sky 
As tears blot the eye

There is nothing to lean on 
The sun is stolen 
Blood stain lying on the floor 
Crippling underneath the living room door 

I see a lifeless body lying on the floor 
Shattered glasses and weapon of plough 
Someone took an angry knife 
And halted a human life

I AM NOT FAR FROM YOU

I am not far from you

But pretend I do not remember 

How you make my heart burn 

Fragrance of your love envelope the sky

Sometimes I imagine 

You and I running far away 

Somewhere we can listen 

To the silence in our hearts 

Your smile illuminates the pathway 

To an unimaginable sense of joy

Never will I let your love get stolen 

I will guild her with all I have

Purely and refreshing is the feeling 

Of lying in your bosom 

I am going out to watch the moon 

She reminds me so much of you 

To fall not in love with you 

Is such a dangerous task 

Every moment I touch your pretty lips 

I fall a thousand feet
