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

May God Be With You – 4

~ Frank Solanki ~ 7 Comments

You can’t throw another stone
You can’t throw another stone
You can’t throw another stone
If you can’t take another one
If you can’t take another one
If you can’t take another one
If you can’t take another one

…

You can’t kill with a gun
You can’t kill with a gun
You can’t kill with a gun
If you don’t know how it’s done
If you don’t know how it’s done
If you don’t know how it’s done
If you don’t know how it’s done

…

You can’t make another strike
You can’t make another strike
You can’t make another strike
If you don’t know what it’s like
If you don’t know what it’s like
If you don’t know what it’s like
If you don’t know what it’s like

…

You can’t be dead just yet
You can’t be dead just yet
You can’t be dead just yet
Till you don’t meet what they have met
Till you don’t meet what they have met
Till you don’t meet what they have met
Till you don’t meet what they have met

…

You can’t catch fire. It catches you
You can’t catch fire. It catches you
You can’t catch fire. It catches you
And may God be with you too
And may God be with you too
And may God be with you too
And may God be with you too

Ghost In My Head

There’s a ghost in my head
Beyond my control
I think he writes poems

She Is You

~ Frank Solanki ~ 10 Comments

I turn off the lights
There’s no respite
She keeps me awake all night
And the moon is shining blue
Oh it’s you
Yeah it’s you
Darling, don’t go out of my sight
I’m talking about you

…

There’s magic in the air
When she is here
And she loves me so dear
Like only she can do
Oh it’s you
Yeah it’s you
Darling, don’t disappear
I’m talking about you

…

It must be destiny
That she’ll forever be
In my memory
And I will be there too
Oh it’s you
Yeah it’s you
Darling, don’t you leave me
I’m talking about you

…

There is no doubt
I only talk about
Her, day in and day out
And I still ain’t true
Oh it’s you
Yeah it’s you
Darling, can’t you hear me shout?
I’m talking about you

…

My heart finds a way
Every night and every day
To wherever that she may
Call out to
Oh it’s you
Yeah it’s you
Darling, don’t go away
I’m talking about you

Moon

With alluring beauty, you stare down at me
With wicked scars on my face, I can barely put up a fight
Thou not cursed with spots but blessed with thee
And so many lovers’ hearts you fill in the lonely night

…

There you are, no law could ever bind you
And here I am, in the midst of all kinds of rules
In my state of despair, I cannot hear the flute play true
While money has refused to part company with the fools

…

I fail to find the light as I look too hard at the closed door
Discomfort is all I know. Everything is else is just unknown
The shattered pieces of my ego lie on the floor
I take solace in knowing that even you don’t have any light of your own

Meek

I believe every word you say
For you always speak true
I’m not worried about you being on my side
I’m crawling to be with you

God And His Plan

~ Frank Solanki ~ 14 Comments

God must have had some other plan
For our love story did end
Before it even began

This Lonely Heart Of Mine

~ Frank Solanki ~ 12 Comments

I know I am going to regret this
I know I am going to regret this
I know I am going to regret this, for sure
If I don’t get to see you anymore

…

Every word is a beginning
Every word is a beginning
Every word is a beginning of a war
If I don’t write to you anymore

…

It won’t be a home
It won’t be a home
It won’t be a home behind this door
If you don’t grace this place anymore

…

I will never be the same
I will never be the same
I will never be the same as before
If you are not here with me anymore

…

You will need to save me
You will need to save me
You will need to save me and more
I can’t go on like this anymore

…

I can’t go on like this anymore
I can’t go on like this anymore
I can’t go on like this anymore
I just can’t go on like this anymore

Not Myself Anymore

~ Frank Solanki ~ 250 Comments

Every breath is marked to you
Every heartbeat is calling out your name
Ever since I’ve met you
I haven’t been the same

…

These eyes long for the sight of you
These ears long for your voice
Ever since I’ve met you
I’ve been left with no choice

…

The days I spend dreaming of you
The nights just seem so long
Ever since I’ve met you
Everything else just seems so wrong

…

Every word is a struggle
Every line is a war
Ever since I’ve met you
I haven’t been myself anymore

…

Every breath is marked to you
Every heartbeat is calling out your name
Ever since I’ve met you
I haven’t been the same

Cold Heart

~ Frank Solanki ~ 8 Comments

To temptations, I have become immune
Or am I just pretending to be so?
These words have fallen out of tune
For reasons that even God wouldn’t know

…

To touch, my skin has turned numb
From yearning for days and for years
To grace, I will never succumb
As long as I am surrounded by these fears

…

To love, I will need a transplant
My heart has grown cold with age
If there is one wish that He could grant
I would like to begin on a brand new page

23 Souls

~ Frank Solanki ~ 14 Comments

23 souls in front of me
So very different
And yet I see God
In all of them
