Dance Of The Phoenix (In collaboration with Diddi)
What does it take
to make
the gracious break ,
tenaciously ,
evasively
advances around you skate ,
you never take the bait ,
do you ever quake
with milk and glass ,
a strawberry
would you make mine a shake
Gracious is as gracious still
A bough unbent with laden snow
The bait is sweet, honey combed
To taste from them is indulgence
To skate apart the pattern strives
To meet in the midst and make a bow
With graceful rhythm and Rhyme
If you wait much longer
the pain it just gets stronger , ...

Grace's Nonsense Verses
Believe me he says
As he slaps the bees away
I am serious
I am here to stay
I stare at his monocle
The blind mole
I love you he says
And tries to embrace me
The mousedeer looks mildly affronted
When he touches its ears
And tries to kiss its nose
Go away it hisses
June showers and winter snow
Travels the couple, they who show
The trails of snails
on billowing sails
To a faraway land
Where Shangri-la stands
Towering bright upon the sand
As he slaps the bees away
I am serious
I am here to stay
I stare at his monocle
The blind mole
I love you he says
And tries to embrace me
The mousedeer looks mildly affronted
When he touches its ears
And tries to kiss its nose
Go away it hisses
June showers and winter snow
Travels the couple, they who show
The trails of snails
on billowing sails
To a faraway land
Where Shangri-la stands
Towering bright upon the sand

Dirge of a broken heart
Love is to give and share
to hold to keep to declare
but as the golden circle
that binds do break
dew drops from aching hearts
fall unheeded on deeply furrowed souls
to ache to hurt in exquisite pain
knowing not how to love again
Holding on to strangers' hands
willing to hope and feel again
but nary a sound the heart do gain
how far or further still the willingness
to say to talk to speak to tell
the feelings once felt
When one love's hand touches
though it ends in betrayal
Meander the...

Towards the End
Silence in the world
A pregnant pause
Eyes turn to the sky
Strong winds from the void
Like screams of demons
Ripping the freeway
The sky’s thoroughfare
Shrieks of pain and madness
As disease is scattered
Among the people
In silent trepidation
They watch in consternation
When ocean begin to die
And the water turns red
Rivers start to die
No life no giving of life
to those who needs
Its life giving essence
the sun turns fiery
its lights scorch in fury
as it turns...
A pregnant pause
Eyes turn to the sky

They watch in consternation
When ocean begin to die
And the water turns red

Happiness is...
Happiness is...
holding your hands
when watching a scary movie
Happiness is...
when you give me a kiss
for doing something silly
Happiness is...
when you gently embrace me
When I am feeling blue
Happiness is...
Being told I am loved
when I am whiney
Happiness is...
Just being with you
My beloved
holding your hands
when watching a scary movie
Happiness is...
when you give me a kiss
for doing something silly
Happiness is...
when you gently embrace me
When I am feeling blue
Happiness is...
Being told I am loved
when I am whiney
Happiness is...
Just being with you
My beloved

Monster
Monster in my head thumping around
Wanting to be heard
Wanting to be seen
It wants its rights
To live out in the light
If I let it out
It won’t be alright!
The monster is a lover
It takes you in and embraces you
Beg you for affection
Softly insinuating itself
Into your heart
It feeds off your kindness
It takes your heart
The monster loves to love
Make you want to live
Within its pumping rhythm
Each beat is an affirmation
Of deep infatuation
A sensuous collision
Of devotion
...

A quest futile
Dark grey skies on world-end realms
traverse this maiden on a dark quest
Fairness goes into sombre terrain
to look and seek the one she loves
Up on their brooms the witches stream,
Watching the lone figure down below
crooked and black in the crescent's gleam,
of the silvery orb they call the moon
Silver lights of magic and doom
flay the maiden in her bloom
Cutting short her troubled life
On a quest no more
and away they swarm 'neath the dragon's feet
Cackling in glee as they return
to the sad imprisoned prince
traverse this maiden on a dark quest
Fairness goes into sombre terrain
to look and seek the one she loves
Up on their brooms the witches stream,
Watching the lone figure down below
crooked and black in the crescent's gleam,
of the silvery orb they call the moon
Silver lights of magic and doom
flay the maiden in her bloom
Cutting short her troubled life
On a quest no more
and away they swarm 'neath the dragon's feet
Cackling in glee as they return
to the sad imprisoned prince

I wish...
I wish I was...
...a falling snow
floating down gently
experience the thaw
as the season go by
...a sunray that lights
up the dawn
uncover each sights
like a budding smile
...a floating fluff
that makes children laugh
the aged sighs
and think of past joys
...a curvy rainbow
that colour the azure sky
during an afternoon shower
greeting the sunny day
...a lover's whisper
promises made
and kept forever
never betrayed.

Sentinel
Under the velvet sky I stand
Looking up to the vastness
Staring at the emptiness
Looking into the nothingness
And I feel cold, I feel nothing
I am alone, unknown
With nothing, without anything
So at the sandy beach I stand
Like a sentinel against the crashing waves
The shifting sand teasing my toes
Keeping tears away my sobs are lost
Among the winds of yesterday
Flown to who knows where
I am not there
Let the depths of the ocean
Take away my pain
Engulf me in its loving kindness
Grant me sweet surcease
From...

My heart speaks...
A sprig of hope to make me live
A love a life and promises to give
To seek and to end the waiting
This I have done for so long
Give me a silent kiss in the dawn air
From the wind send through the azure sky
From temperate to the tropic zones
Tell me, you know, you remembered me
A child of hope born of endless pain
This heart I give you yet again
Man from the land of everlasting gale
From the wild place where the wind blows
Full scale frosts on blade of grasses
A whisper in the night, a gentle caress
Through words from worlds ...
A love a life and promises to give
To seek and to end the waiting
This I have done for so long
Give me a silent kiss in the dawn air

Heartspoken (A collaboration with Diddi)
As far away as the constellations
as near as your heartbeat
Further than lost paradise
as near as your breath
As distant as Atlantis
as near as yourself.
Myself is so far
from here tonight
tell me which star
to follow , my guide
inside I die
as I think you know why
I'm hollow and broken
I'm lost in the sky .
You are never lost
For you have the skies
The width of the universe
New horizons beyond the stars
Never broken, never alone
To want is to hold within
Where heartbeats drum in...
as near as your heartbeat
Further than lost paradise

The Love I never had
Full magic blows the incessant chant
of wants and needs unrequited
Love begin at a step where one
clap with one hand
the sound unheard
I beg a kiss not mine to take
I pledge a love you never wanted
I beg a life you could not give
Yet you gave you caved
in to my incessant discordant whine
You left in the night a year ago
a letter on your pillow
"I never wanted you, you know
I love another from the start
She left for life beyond my ken
so I took you, second best
Now she returns and want me back
There be I...
of wants and needs unrequited
Love begin at a step where one
clap with one hand
the sound unheard
I beg a kiss not mine to take
I pledge a love you never wanted
I beg a life you could not give

in to my incessant discordant whine
You left in the night a year ago

"I never wanted you, you know

so I took you, second best
Now she returns and want me back
