Oh My Eyes Have Seen It All

Oh my eyes have seen it all
The rise of tumour, an angel fall
The jolt that runs when heavens call
The anguish of a crying soul
Oh my eyes have seen it all

Oh my lungs have breathed in
The vicious smoke from burnin’
Down the monster who dwells within
A place that’s had no joy or sin
Oh my lungs have breathed thin

Oh my heart has felt a war
On the cold concrete floor
The agony in a hapless roar
For the opening of a door
Oh my heart could feel no more

You Taught Me

You taught me how to speak and talk
You taught me how to be
You taught me how to run and walk
You taught me who is me

You taught me how to earn my bread
The strength of a human mind
You taught me what to take ahead
And what to leave behind

You taught me how to keep my faith
Find hope in the heavens above
You taught me how to wipe out hate
Put all my trust in love

You taught me how must one transact
You taught me discipline
You taught me how I must react
In failure and in win

You taught me how to see the rain
How to feel it with my eyes
You taught me how to bear my pain
You taught me sacrifice

You taught me what is right and real
You taught me what to give
You taught me how to breathe and feel
You taught me how to live

If I Had A Magic Pencil

If I had a magic pencil
That could bring anything to life
What would I draw first?
You

Someday We Will

They say we’ll never meet again
There is one way still
With my words, I’ll create a world
Where someday we will

Can Men Make Water?

Pretty river flowing calmly
With water bright blue
Reflecting sunlight so warmly
For me and for you
Offering everything we need
Nothing for her own
Stupid mortals made of greed
Contaminated her throne
Crying, raging against it all
Sometimes with a storm
Only thing that did befall —
Disintegration of form
Bright blue water soon turned
Grey and smelt of dirt
Slowly inside the river burned
With grief, pain, hurt
The Sun God couldn’t stand
Stupidity of Man
So he raged o’er the land
Drying the water can
All the folks were left high and low
Without, t’was nothing else
Now there was nowhere to go
Can Men make water themselves?

Whisper To Me

Who is right? Who is wrong?
Do you happen to know what’s true?
There’s just so much going on
I really don’t know what to do
How did you keep it all in place?
Without ever filing a ‘plaint
Look at the ugly, crying face
That this house does paint
Should I go seeking who is right?
Should I just let it be?
In the dark despair of this night
Come down and whisper to me

The Heavens Brightly Shone

When that smile went off your face
And you left us all alone
This Earth became a darker place
But the heavens brightly shone

Could Not Ever Replace You

All the dollars, yen and pounds
The fallen leaves on the ground
Little children playing around
The smiles on their faces too
Could not ever replace you

The grumbling of the passing trains
The mess and calm in the rains
The concrete roads, the empty lanes
The blooming flowers’ dew
Could not ever replace you

The drudgeries of every day
The tumbling blocks in my way
The hollow words I hear one say
Even if they’re false or true
Could not ever replace you

The little tricks of my brain
The nervous signals of my veins
The clothes I wear, the yellow stains
On my soul, so bright and new
Could not ever replace you

God and Devil, the demon’s cast
Love and hatred of my past
The angel’s song that may never last
Heaven, Hell, the sky so blue
Could not ever replace you

Little Stones

Once there was a mountain tall
Housing creatures big and small
Fighting wild and gruesome storms
To keep the creatures safe and warm

But she could only fight so long
She could only keep so strong
For the waters made a crack
From her breast up to her back

The cracks were flooded by the rain
Nothing worked to ease the pain
Though the creatures gave her heart
Slowly, surely she fell apart

When she fell, oh how she fell
Everything turned a living hell
The shelter on their heads was gone
Left were only little stones

If I Were To Lose My Right Eye

If
I were to lose my right eye
Or the index finger on my left hand
Or the toes of my feet
Or a bullet should pass through my jaw
And render my mouth numb
Or I were to contract a deadly disease
Leaving me with little hopes for survival

Then
Would you look into my left eye
Hold my hand
Walk with me
Talk to me
Love me
Just like you do now?
