​My Heart Knows A Silent Place

~ Frank Solanki ~ 40 Comments

My heart knows a silent place

‘Tis lonely and devoid of light

There I find my peace and space

…

Twenty three floors but no staircase

Not a living being in sight

My heart knows a silent place

…

The thoughts are left for me to chase

The birds sing so quiet

There I find my peace and space

…

Devil presents his fruitless case

No God to match his might

My heart knows a silent place

…

No single memory to erase

Windows, they whisper all night

There I find my peace and space

…

I wear a mask and hide my face

The roofs, they leak of fright

My heart knows a silent place

There I find my peace and space

​Let Me In, Let Me In

~ Frank Solanki ~ 39 Comments

Let me in, let me in

War’s about to begin

The hour cometh

The army’s marchin’

…

Let me in, let me in

I have done no single sin

Open up the gates now

Let me see what’s there within

…

Let me in, let me in

Hear me shoutin’ and screamin’

Save me from this torture

They want to burn my skin

…

Let me in, let me in

I’ve served my kith and kin

Read all of your scriptures

Come out and examine

…

Let me in, let me in

Every minute, I’m growing thin

I’m getting frail and tired

My body is achin’

…

Let me in, let me in

I deserve a place therein

I’d like to eat your fruits

And play the violin

…

Let me in, let me in

What am I missin’?

Eddie Price got in there

So did Catherine

…

Let me in, let me in

Silence is deafenin’

Bring out your arguments

Let’s see who finally wins

…

Let me in, let me in

I have done no single sin

Open up the gates now

Let me in, let me in

…

Let me in, let me in

War’s about to begin

The hour cometh

The army’s marchin’

A Cry To Peggy

~ Frank Solanki ~ 51 Comments

Sometimes, it gets so lonely in the night

Without you to hold and show me the light

I promise you I would be all right

If you would be my queen, I’d be your knight

…

Sometimes, I get so upset and I don’t know why

I’m not myself no matter how hard I try

Not being with you is a good reason to die

If you were with me, I promise I won’t cry

…

I always feel so happy when I am with you

For all my little wishes seem to come true

There is nothing more that I would like to do

If you would love me, I’d love you too

The Heart That You Own

~ Frank Solanki ~ 48 Comments

I’ve seen historical monuments

I’ve seen the rainbow skies

But nothing is as beautiful

As the magic in your eyes

…

I’ve heard songs of love

From the morning birds

But nothing is music to me

Like the sound of your words

…

I’ve experienced God and his angels

A baby’s smile I’ve known

But nothing is as pure to me

As the heart that you own

Smile A Little

~ Frank Solanki ~ 60 Comments

Hey girl, you seem to be a little upset

What is it that has you feeling so bad?

Do not give this world a cause to regret

Smile a little now and you won’t feel so sad

…

If you don’t smile

The roses wouldn’t bloom

This world will be doomed

If you don’t smile

There would be total gloom

…

Smile a little now

So the sun can shine a little now

I can feel a little fine now

What do you say?

We go out to dine a little now?

…

So smile a little and brighten up this day

Hear the birds sing from far away

Till the stars sparkle in the night sky

And never let that pretty smile die

​Sweet Angel

~ Frank Solanki ~ 33 Comments

Heaven’s not the only place for angels

There are some here on earth as well

And I think I know one of them

If it is still not so clear

Let me spell it out to you

I believe you’re my angel

Sweet angel, take me home

The place where I belong

Somewhere between the words of truth and danger

Sweet angel, take my hand

Let me leave this all behind

They’ve got no eyes to see my heart break in pieces

…

I know bliss when I see you smile

Feel the joy it brings

There is some kind of magic in you

Sing a song so simple and pure

Fill this world with hope

There is no morning without your light

Sweet angel, take me home

Give me wings to fly

Let me go beyond the clouds with you

Sweet angel, take my hand

I believe it is time

They’ve got no heart to feel my pain and sorrow

…

If we were in a different world

In a different land we laid

Would our lives be any smoother?

For every time that I see your face

I feel a deep fear inside

What if this is the very last time?

Sweet angel, take me home

The place where I belong

I think I could use a warm shelter

Sweet angel, take my hand

I believe it is time

Time to die for a moment with you

​One Final Request

~ Frank Solanki ~ 60 Comments

If God would come down and say

That today is my last day

And grant me one final request

To do what my heart felt best

I would take that chance

And ask for one last dance

With the girl I would leave my heart to

For she’d always keep it true

And when that dance will be complete

God will offer me a chariot’s seat

But He can only take my body away

For my soul will forever stay

​For You I Built A Special Home

~ Frank Solanki ~ 54 Comments

For you I built a special home

With spacious rooms and a giant dome

With a view, of which you can’t get enough

The kind of home you’ve always dreamed of

…

It will keep you safe, it will keep you warm

Keep you away from any harm

Protect you from hurt and pain

Make you learn to smile again

…

‘Tis where I’d like you to spend your life

I’d be your man, you’d be my wife

So tell me the day when you’d like to start

And move in to stay in my heart?

​O’ Stars, O’ Stars

~ Frank Solanki ~ 36 Comments

O’ stars, o’ stars

Why do you shine?

Why do you shine down?

Why do you shine down on her?

…

Your light, your light

Makes her beautiful

Makes her more beautiful

Makes her more beautiful than any other

…

O’ stars, o’ stars

Why don’t you shine on other girls?

Shine down on Emma, May and Jane

Your light, your light

Won’t be wasted on them

They could really use some glow

…

O’ stars, o’ stars

Leave my girl to me

Your light, your light

She really doesn’t need

​The World Is Made Of

~ Frank Solanki ~ 59 Comments

They say this world is made of planets

Stars, galaxies and heavens

Black holes and skies

Lies, lies, lies

…

They say this world is made of water

Land, air and ether

Empty space and fireballs

False, false, false

…

My world is made of your face and voice

Your smile, your words so true

It isn’t about heavens, stars or skies

My world is made of you
