IT IS ALL WRONG

It is all wrong

I could not spend time with you

It would have been easy

If you had told me goodbye

I sit and watch the sunrise

Maybe it would ease my mind

Instead I watch my dreams gone

As an awful day walk bye

I thought in life everyone is a winner

Except the woman who gives up

I know I do not have much to hold

Life is difficult watching you go

I cannot believe your love

Is too good enough for me

You have got to search the clouds in your heart

If there are no more stars

Without you my dream is not real

Where you are is where I want to be

If it is out on the street

It is alright, I can take the heat

SOMETIMES

Sometimes I try to picture myself
Amidst life sailing through a subtle river
At times I wait effortlessly
In the mist of a raging storm fiercely totting me

The search for a purpose, seemingly
Endless even unto my dying breath
Several doors broken and severely damaged but not one
When there is a will, a door is left ajar to enter

Maybe the shattered mirror lying on the cabin floor
Same as the one I see in my old coffee cup is
The one build on a fragile wooden frame
Maybe the rain washed
Window blind got entangled in the storm

Or maybe I am just a Polaroid
Living in a state of obliviousness
As I take one step backward to retraced the heart
To find my self
Rain brought traces of hope that I shouldn't lose myself
That the need of self actualization in life is but a strong vendetta!!!

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
