THE MUSIC AND THE OCEAN

I hear the music in my ear
The ocean that hold my salty tears
The breeze ,the promise of golden rain
Murmurs softly ,ease my fears
Come hold me ...the call is clear

Bare feets, dancing on that shore
My heart fluttering with the winds
Imprisoned. .as ever before
In a love cage..on a foggy bay
The night is long..the feets are sore
The music is there..still on play

LOVE AND SUNSHINE

I cannot say I am caring 

Not that I am pretending 

I know life has change a lot 

Since I met you 

Sometimes it is difficult to breath

Like drowning in an open sea 

Without you

My emotion is thrown into the thrash 

I am worthless on my own 

The beauty of a woman

Like a flower needs rain and sunshine 

And tendering of your love to survive

THE SCENT OF SORROW

You say I am beautiful 
But love could not find me 
You say I am happy
But I am dying in silence 

If wishes are real 
Why am I still dreaming? 
Every day, out on the street 
All I see is human suffering 

Does it mean the world is lost?
She is unambiguously disoriented 
That love cannot wipe away the scar 
Not even for the tears of a little child

If this is the definition of life 
I will be better off dead 
I can no longer bear to see humanity 
Treated like stray goats

Do not we used to have conviction? 
A mind not of hateful retention
There are bloodstains on the side walk 
Yet we walk blindly and could not see 

Is it until the sun is gone? 
The stars and moon burnt 
That we will come to perceive 
The scent of sorrow
