Making the world a better place one poem at a time.

Gun You Down

~ Frank Solanki ~ 17 Comments

Am I here to listen to you? I never was
You call this mediocrity a just cause
You and your followers think you are so right
God blessed you with ridiculousness and me with might
May God teach you what is wrong and what is right

…

You speak and act well, I must admit
But it takes more than that for me to accept defeat
You like to display your strength and so do I
One of us is going to win while the other is going to cry
Before you die, I hope God shows you the light

…

I’ve got some bullets reserved for you. Isn’t that what you wanted?
My army is watching you and will leave you haunted
You burn, burn, burn, burn the whole town
I’ll gun, gun, gun, gun you traitors down
May God forgive you when He meets you tonight

February

~ Frank Solanki ~ 20 Comments

My head is filled with a thousand things
And a hundred more it lets go everyday
Nobody knows what joy it brings
When your face doesn’t go away
…
My heart is filled with a thousand feelings
And all of them have something to say
Nobody knows what song it sings
When your smile decides to stay
…
Here I am with a thousand sins
On the tip of my tongue they lay
A rare day it is when truth prevails and wins
I know you will change it someday

When The Rains Come A-Calling

~ Frank Solanki ~ 23 Comments

Has the world collided
Into the strangest land?
Are the birds of monsoon
Calling out to a friend?
Didn’t I ever warn you
Not to leave my hand?
For it really hurts me
The way these tears do stand
But you go on dancing
And you keep on dreaming
And I’ll always watch you like I always have
When the rains come a-calling

…

Have you ever wondered
If there’s a secret way
Possibly for chasing
Rabbits and clowns all day?
Let the mystery unfold
Let the magic say
If it wants to leave us
Or does it plan to stay
But you go climb a rainbow
And you keep on wondering
And I’ll never leave you like I never have
When the rains come a-calling

…

Take all the joys you want to
And lock them in your mind
Years from now, someday
Your memory will act so kind
To recollect all that you used to
Do and have left behind
And in that reminiscence
A special treasure you will find
But don’t bother about tomorrow
You just keep on jumping
And I’ll always love you like I always have
When the rains come a-calling

A World War Fan

~ Frank Solanki ~ 9 Comments

One little duck
Off to try his luck
Went to the city
Oh, what a pity
Now he finds himself stuck

…

Two little crows
Sought better tomorrows
Away they flew
Where? Nobody knew
Not even the sparrows

…

Three little mice
So very nice
Thought they could take
On a poisonous snake
But they could only catch flies

…

Four little fishes
Prepared some dishes
Offered it to a shark
Who began to bark
God fulfilled his wishes

…

Five little worms
Playing with their drums
Think it’s a crime
Waiting for the time
Which never really comes

…

Six little creatures
Blessed with pretty features
Grew up very fast
Things would never last
Now they’re all preachers

…

Seven little squirrels
Found a bag of pearls
Inside a pit
And shared it with
The catterpillars

…

Eight little tortoise
Made a lot of noise
Up against knives
Feared for their lives
Never did raise a voice

…

Nine little falcons
Playing with big guns
Thought it’d be fun
To shoot someone
They’re not the only ones

…

Ten little men
Like only they can
Sticks and stones
Blood and bones
A world war fan

A Strange Equation

~ Frank Solanki ~ 8 Comments

‘Tis a strange equation
Where left never equals right
Has me dreaming all day
Keeps me awake all night

Bleed For You

~ Frank Solanki ~ 13 Comments

As long as there is mercy in that crown
I’ll plead for you
As long as there is blood in my veins
I’ll bleed for you
I’ll bleed for you

…

As long as there is hope in the air
I’ll pray for you
All day and all night
I’ll wait for you
I’ll wait for you

…

Any treasure in the world
I’d bring for you
All day and all night
I’d sing for you
I’d sing for you

…

Tell all the stars
To shine for you
Tell all the words
To rhyme for you
Tell all the rivers
To flow for you
Tell all the lights
To glow for you
To glow for you

…

Tell all the clouds
To cry for you
Tell all the birds
To fly for you
Tell all the mermaids
To sing for you
Tell all the bells
To ring for you
To ring for you

…

Tell all my veins
To bleed for you
Tell my heart
To bleed for you
Tell my soul
To bleed for you
Tell myself
To bleed for you
To bleed for you

Flame

~ Frank Solanki ~ 2 Comments

I don’t make for a pleasant sight
When it’s dark or if there’s light
If there’s a law
Who is it for?
To set all the wrongs until they’re right
When the outrage has begun
To rectify the damage done
One thing’s for sure
You can’t tell black from white

…

A million nights I must share
Trapped in this layered four walled square
And raise a toast
To your ghost
If I have to survive this scary nightmare
And watch the beauty fade away
A hundred times, everyday
But what hurts the most
You still think life’s so unfair

…

The circumstances are so tight
As I struggle with my plight
Behind this door
There’s a war
And I’m about to lose it outright
No matter how hard I try to run
I can hear the blazing sun
I’ve been burnt once before
And I’ll burn myself again tonight

Whisper In My Ear

~ Frank Solanki ~ 28 Comments

Where do we go
To find that inner peace?
Where the body isn’t a prison
The soul is set to release?

…

Where do we go
To find happiness?
In a land of preachers
Where disciples are blessed?

…

Where do we go
To find true love?
Should we wait until
We learn to fly above?

…

Where do we go
To find all that we need?
Can the fruits of all the trees
Be gained by a single seed?

…

Where do we go?
Where do we go from here?
If you know the answer
Would you whisper in my ear?

Like We’ve Never Met

~ Frank Solanki ~ 13 Comments

So easy to regret
So hard to forget
My love for you is true and yet
You just act like we’ve never met

Green Field

~ Frank Solanki ~ 15 Comments

I climb down these stairs
A thought in my head
Along with all the spares
Deserts my lonely bed
Never thought I’d understand
What it’s like to be alone
Missing the touch of your hand
As we laid on our own
On the green grass
As time would pass
And we would sing
Da da da da da da da da da da dee da ding
Da dee da ding

…

Day turns to night
And the moon comes out
Jealous of your light
Not a shadow of a doubt
But it doesn’t feel alright
A message the winds have blown
Makes every face so bright
But I lay on my own
On this green grass
And time wouldn’t pass
And for you, I’d sing
Da da da da da da da da da da dee da ding
Da dee da ding

…

Morning sun’s about to come
I don’t give a care
Makes me wonder what has become
Of the love we used to share
The stars blink at me
And down a light is thrown
And your face I can see
I know I’m not alone
In this green field
A moment is sealed
As we together sing
Da da da da da da da da da da dee da ding
Da dee da ding
