What if the stars forgot to shine?
What if the clocks didn’t strike nine?
What if it was cold in summer
And spring was a bummer?
What if my poems began to sing?
The bees refuse to sting?
And if God controlled me?
Will you still hold me?
…
What if I broke my leg and fell
Into the deepest darkest well
That is hosting a little tea party
With all the guests hale and hearty
Two of whom are green and blue
While the others have caught a flu
And the dew comes to kiss me?
Will you still miss me?
…
What if the years had less days
The days had less hours
And hours less minutes
And minutes less beats?
Will you still love me tomorrow
Like you do today?
For this moment is all that we have
And yesterday has flown away

Night’s Last Wish
It’s hard to conceal
Everything that I feel
So I just let it flow
The song of the lark
I hear in the dark
Keeps me from feeling low
Though the dance basked in the moonlight
The sirens were loud and clear
Well I long for your sight
It just hurts every night
How I wish that you were here
…
The winds whisper loud
The stars hide the clouds
Just like the beat of my heart
Soon the feeling has gone
And all have moved on
As I watch them slowly depart
While the night leaves me empty
In the party of my fears
I’m proved terribly wrong
As I sing that old song
Oh how I wish that you were here
…
So here I begin
To flutter my wings
As I aim to reach for the skies
It’s such a huge cost
To recover what’s lost
Tears keep rolling from my eyes
O’ God listen to me
For once I’d like to hold her near
I hate the company
Of grief and misery
I just wish that you were here
Center Of My Universe
A hundred reasons to be happy
A thousand people to share with
Yet there’s one special person
With whom I share a special bond
For joy multiplies exponentially
When she is around
Nothing else seems to matter then
Time stands still
That smile is magical
Those eyes sparkle with excitement
The words she speaks are charming
The center of my universe
When she’s away I miss her
When she’s near I’m lost
In her mystical presence
The center of my universe
In her I see my truth
I connect to her with love
Around her my world revolves
The center of my universe
Tell Me
Tell me the stars don’t shine
That truth can be confined
That love ain’t divine
And I’ll believe you
But don’t tell me that she is not mine
For I won’t
…
Tell me the sun is square
There’s no magic in the air
That God ain’t fair
And I’ll believe you
But don’t tell me that she doesn’t care
For I won’t
…
Tell me the birds aren’t free
Oceans are empty
God has no mercy
And I’ll believe you
But don’t tell me that she isn’t made for me
For I won’t
Not Within Me
I’ve been looking for Him
Everywhere I could
Beneath the stars, above land
In the deepest woods
Underneath the oceans
I seek Him day and night
Seek Him in the darkness
Seek Him in the light
Seek Him within me
…
Though it wasn’t easy
I found Him eventually
Almost like a fortuity
Stumbled ‘on casually
I found Him in the stones, I
Found Him in a dew
Saw Him in the wind, I
Saw Him affined to you
But not within me
…
Him I found all over
Except inside my heart
None of my veins had Him
Nor any other part
Was I breathing empty?
Felt a lot of pain
Stripped my soul and hunted
Only to find again
He’s not within me
How Innocent He Lays At Night
How innocent he lays at night
How devilish during the day
He can tell wrong from right
Yet he walks the unrighteous way
Lies Keep Me Up At Night
A dead man has no secrets
A mere soulless body
Should I walk the same way
In this unforgiving journey?
I’ve walked a different path so far
Footprints I can’t erase
Too scared to look in the mirror
Watch the sinful face
No matter how straight my path now
The lies are still in sight
The monster eats me from inside
Lies keep me up at night
Which Medicine Would You Prefer?
Which medicine would you prefer?
Laughter can ease you for a few minutes
Sleep; for a few hours
Death; forever
Which medicine would you prefer?
Why Do They Worship You?
O’ God I fail to understand
Why do they worship You?
Is it because You’re beautiful
Or is it because You’re true?
Is it because they have a fear
Set deep within their hearts
That any little misdeed and You
Might tear their world apart?
Is it because You’re a mystery
About which we barely know?
Is it because You’re divine?
An omnipotent fellow?
Is it the herd mentality
Of following the crowd?
Is everyone uncomfortable
Or afraid to stand out?
Is it because we people
Are full of ego and pride?
Do we need a higher power
To keep it all inside?
Or is it because they feel
Their fates are in Your hands?
Why do they worship You?
God, I fail to understand
What if these people found out
There’s a higher authority?
Will they stop worshipping You
And start following me?
O’ You Lousy Rat Called Fear
O’ you lousy rat called Fear
Let me make myself quite clear
The wounds from you are running deep
Tonight I plan to catch some sleep
You hide in your hole. You don’t come out
Then suddenly you start running about
You bring your other friends with you
Depression, anxiety and insomnia too
Your days are numbered I hope you know
Pack your bags for you must go
Tonight I look you in the eye
As I wave to you goodbye
You think of me as a piece of wreck
Come out now let me wring your neck
