Poet Introduction
Varying moods create the canvas to which I express myself with words... Words are the vehicle to which I offload my heart's burdens.

To him (from her)
That tall guy who makes love never look too tall to climb.
The guy whose eyes are full of dazzling love.
The guy who makes love worth the sacrifice,
Love all wrapped up as a special gift to me.
The guy who makes use of the right tool (in love) in making things right,
the guy who draws me to the real source of love.
The guy who never runs out of ink in imprinting love in my heart.
My heart yearns for more of your love everyday.
Words really fail me to write more.
I love you
The guy whose eyes are full of dazzling love.
The guy who makes love worth the sacrifice,
Love all wrapped up as a special gift to me.
The guy who makes use of the right tool (in love) in making things right,
the guy who draws me to the real source of love.
The guy who never runs out of ink in imprinting love in my heart.
My heart yearns for more of your love everyday.
Words really fail me to write more.
I love you

Ideologies
For as long as history tells us
Man has always
Searched for the next big thing.
New thoughts, ideas, wisdom...
New reason clashing with old customs.
Lofty men rise up across time,
Clashing intellectual swords,
Philosophical warfare...
At the crossroads lie "us".
The common folk who
Want to live a simple life.
But who do we follow?
When everyone seems to know the way.
Who can be a trusted guide?
Crossroads become dead ends for many.
Others have a little faith and trust any guide.
Their ends... Unknown.

What Do you do?
What will you do if...
All your dreams become illusions
And your plans go south.
If all your friends forsake you
And the woman you give all your heart...
Leaves with another man.
If you give your all
And it isn't good enough.
If you sacrifice so much
And get no reward.
If one good turn...
Never comes in return.
What will you do?
All your dreams become illusions
And your plans go south.
If all your friends forsake you
And the woman you give all your heart...
Leaves with another man.
If you give your all
And it isn't good enough.
If you sacrifice so much
And get no reward.
If one good turn...
Never comes in return.
What will you do?

Heartpouring 1
You cared,
In my fears,
In my tears,
In my fair share of mess.
You still care...
You cared,
In my narcissistic romps
In wild rants
In my selfish runs.
Your greatest action is to care..
You cared,
In my wasteful sprees
In my crazy trips
In all the shit I ever did.
You still care...
Jesus I am sorry
I never cared in return.
Now I do.
In my fears,
In my tears,
In my fair share of mess.
You still care...
You cared,
In my narcissistic romps
In wild rants
In my selfish runs.
Your greatest action is to care..
You cared,
In my wasteful sprees
In my crazy trips
In all the shit I ever did.
You still care...
Jesus I am sorry
I never cared in return.
Now I do.

Regrets
Too many mistakes,
So many wrong moves .
Looking back I see them...
Times I ;
Embraced foes
and let friends go.
Gave up too soon,
or held on too long.
Didn't give my all,
or put in too much.
Was too wise,
or probably too foolish.
listened to people
and didn't follow my heart.
Was arrogant
and didn't take advice.
It hurts
It stings
It burns my heart...
Tears roll down my cheeks.
Despair.
I guess I have to
Forgive myself.
Afterall I am only
Human.
So many wrong moves .
Looking back I see them...
Times I ;
Embraced foes
and let friends go.
Gave up too soon,
or held on too long.
Didn't give my all,
or put in too much.
Was too wise,
or probably too foolish.
listened to people
and didn't follow my heart.
Was arrogant
and didn't take advice.
It hurts
It stings
It burns my heart...
Tears roll down my cheeks.
Despair.
I guess I have to
Forgive myself.
Afterall I am only
Human.

The scent of christmas
Slowly permeates the air.
As the days go by
My longings grow nigh.
As the bells jingle,
My heart tingles.
The music, the noise.
The cakes, the toys...
Don't matter.
Minutes seem like years
As I countdown the days.
I miss you.
All I want for christmas
Is you.
Slowly permeates the air.
As the days go by
My longings grow nigh.
As the bells jingle,
My heart tingles.
The music, the noise.
The cakes, the toys...
Don't matter.
Minutes seem like years
As I countdown the days.
I miss you.
All I want for christmas
Is you.

Old Age
On your wooden rocking chair you now sit,
Staring into the image that lies in front of you.
Your eyes now dim you squint to get a good look.
As you stretch your neck for a better view, you hear it...
The creaking of your bones like an old rusted machine part.
Your body it's agility lost,
Your once white teeth now a canvas of brown and grey,
The Beautiful body you once had is now a relic of it's former self,
Those Brilliant ears now struggle to pick up the loudest of sounds.
Alas!... Old age is upon you my friend.
Suddenly you let out a smile, ...
Staring into the image that lies in front of you.
Your eyes now dim you squint to get a good look.
As you stretch your neck for a better view, you hear it...
The creaking of your bones like an old rusted machine part.
Your body it's agility lost,
Your once white teeth now a canvas of brown and grey,
The Beautiful body you once had is now a relic of it's former self,
Those Brilliant ears now struggle to pick up the loudest of sounds.
Alas!... Old age is upon you my friend.
Suddenly you let out a smile, ...

I am a king
I am a king, am royal.
Genealogy written with spirit not ink
Not the normal type you think.
So even if you find no physical link
I remain king.
I am a king, am aristocratic.
Kingdom without borders or fences
No limitations or boundaries.
In the office, field and buildings,
I remain king.
I am a king, am regal.
Even though I earn less than minimum wage
And you feel I have achieved little for my age
And all my assests listed fill not a page

Inspiration is like
The ten second wave
You must ride high
Till it breaks
And you are left low-
underwater

You must ride high

I know men;
Crazy ,Boastful,
Proud men...
I know some other men;
Moral, upright,
Good men.
I know Wise
and foolish men.
All colours and horrors...
But I know a MAN.
A GOD-MAN,
Unlike any other...
Died in shame
Ressurected in glory
God became man
To make men
like GOD-
G-O-D-L-Y MEN.
I know men,
and I know MEN-
GODLY MEN!

Bed of Roses?
Some are born with a silver spoon
Others into gloom.
Tired legs tired of running,
Swimming against the tide...
So much effort, little progress
A losing fight.
At this point chances of finding the yeti
Are higher than creating equality.
Criminals celebrated as heroes.
It's not a bed of roses- for most people...
When priviledge becomes the key to pillage
Society faces extinction.
Others into gloom.
Tired legs tired of running,
Swimming against the tide...
So much effort, little progress
A losing fight.
At this point chances of finding the yeti
Are higher than creating equality.
Criminals celebrated as heroes.
It's not a bed of roses- for most people...
When priviledge becomes the key to pillage
Society faces extinction.

What They Said
I tried to approach you,
But the stories I heard
Made me scared,
They made me blue.
I longed to give you an embrace
But they said you were mad
With my kind.
So I hid my face.
I wanted to look into your eyes
But they said you were a fire breathing monster,
And it would end for me in disaster...
Every thought of you brought me cries.
I wanted to write you a song
But they said I wasn't worthy.
I wasn't holy.
My kind belonged to the dung.
They told me you kill people,
And you had a knack...
But the stories I heard
Made me scared,
They made me blue.
I longed to give you an embrace
But they said you were mad
With my kind.
So I hid my face.
I wanted to look into your eyes
But they said you were a fire breathing monster,
And it would end for me in disaster...
Every thought of you brought me cries.
I wanted to write you a song
But they said I wasn't worthy.
I wasn't holy.
My kind belonged to the dung.
They told me you kill people,
And you had a knack...
