Just To Prove My Love

February 4, 2017 ~ Frank Solanki ~ 25 Comments

You don’t believe my love, do you?

You want me to prove that it’s true

Well, I cannot bring down a star for you

I cannot bring down Moon

I cannot say it’s October when it’s actually June

…

I cannot make an elephant fly

Or write your name in the clear, blue sky

I cannot even teach a monkey or a crocodile to cry

…

I cannot make a cuckoo sing my song

Or make right what is already wrong

I cannot even keep an ostrich dancing for long

…

I cannot cook a meal

I cannot make your dreams real

I cannot even make you feel like I do

Cannot make you feel any more special than I already do

I cannot write a poem. Can’t tie my shoe

Cannot fight a war. Can’t turn the ocean blue

Can’t turn a stone into a butterfly

Cannot even prove my words aren’t just a piece of lie

If you really want to see my love, just look into my eye

If you couldn’t see it there, I really wouldn’t know why

Then just to prove my love, I guess I would have to die

When We Meet Again

February 1, 2017 ~ Frank Solanki ~ 62 Comments

The fairies shall be our trail

The angels will write our tale

With their enchanted, golden pen

Whenever we may meet again

…

Memories of a million days

Will come back in many ways

Yet so little be spoken then

Whenever we may speak again

…

The distance of time and years

Will reflects in our tears

But not a single drop shall be wasted then

Until I’ve held you close again

…

Summers are long and old

Winters are lonely and cold

But the weather will be perfect then

Whenever we may meet again

…

Lost in love, we will stand

Once we hold each other’s hand

Violets will whisper in rhyme when

Ever we may speak again

…

It is dark and it is quiet

There is silence in the night

There will be no light in this den

Until I’ve laughed with you again

…

It will hurt and it will pain

We’ll make it snow. We’ll make it rain

The daisies shall be blooming then

Whenever we may meet again

…

Mortals may look down on us

But our souls shall not be cursed

There will be no questioning then

Whenever we may speak again

…

I may be frail. I may be weak

The scars dig deeper every week

But my love will not die with them

Until I breathe with you again

Liar, Liar. Pants On Fire

January 29, 2017June 21, 2017 ~ Frank Solanki ~ 58 Comments

They said my pants will catch fire

If I grow up to be a liar

And a hard lesson I will learn

When I lead my pants to burn

…

But that warning never deterred me

Instead I took it quite seriously

And I sinned and lied and called names

Just to see if my pants caught flames

…

So I lied and lied and lied again

Till I entered a liar’s den

All my pants caught was dust

But my soul did combust

The Worst Liar

January 28, 2017June 21, 2017 ~ Frank Solanki ~ 28 Comments

There are all sorts of liars in this world

From grown-up men to thieving girls

In populated China, in land-locked Rhodesia

But none like a liar with amnesia

Here is an embarrassing confession:

Working With Spreadsheets

January 21, 2017June 21, 2017 ~ Frank Solanki ~ 40 Comments

Can someone please teach me how to work with spreadsheets?

It’s giving me nightmares. Making me dance to its beats

It’s not as easy to use as a word document

There are many functions on which I’d rather not comment

I’ve got a big presentation tomorrow. I could really use some help

I cannot teach kids to use spreadsheets if I don’t know it myself

The Blame Game

January 21, 2017June 21, 2017 ~ Frank Solanki ~ 27 Comments

Am I to be blamed for loving you?

Should I blame the heart?

The head has looked for reasons

The eyes have played their part

The heart is in wonderland

The body has ceased to work

The senses are all failing

Should they blame their luck?
