The Sound of the Trees

I WONDER about the trees.
Why do we wish to bear
Forever the noise of these
More than another noise
So close to our dwelling place
We suffer them by the day

Till we lose all measure of pace,
And fixity in our joys,
And acquire a listening air.
They are that that talks of going

But never gets away;
And that talks no less for knowing,
As it grows wiser and older,
That now it means to stay.

My feet tug at the floor
And my head sways to my shoulder
Sometimes when I watch trees sway,
From the window or the door.

I shall set forth for somewhere,
I shall make the reckless choice
Some day when they are in voice
And tossing so as to scare

The white clouds over them on.
I shall have less to say,
But I shall be gone.

When The Sun Rises

Every morning in Africa, When the Sun rises,

A deer awakens, Knowing it has to outrun the fastest Lion,
Or, be hunted to death…

But… When the Sun rises,
A lion awakens, Knowing it has to outrun the slowest deer,
Or, be starved to death…

It does not matter whether you are a deer or lion,
When the Sun rises,
Better be running at your best…

No One Is Beat

No one is beat till he quits,
No one is through till he stops,
No matter how hard failure hits,
No matter how often he drops,
A fellow’s not down till he lies
in the dust and refuses to rise.
Fate can slam him and bang him around,
And batter his frame till he’s sore,
But she never can say that he’s downed
While he bobs up serenely for more.
A fellow’s not dead till he dies,
Nor beat till no longer he tries.

I See The Face............im alone

Tears still fill my eyes when I call her name.
Nothing had to ever change
How could she dare do that to me
Leave me in all this misery

I want to know,if she loved me so,
Then why I am all so all alone
Never she said will you be afraid
I’ll protect you,nothing will change.

Why did she say those things to me
So she would see if I believed
I want to hear,if she loved me dear,
Then why I am all so all alone

She slipped her hand under my chin,
And looked with such a loving grin,
The kind that melts your heart to gold,
The kind you bury deep inside your soul.

I want to see,if she loved me deep,
Then why am I all so all alone
She touched my hand,in a single swipe,
She changed my world,my light my life,

And ran her fingers through my hair,
She gave me such an enchanting glare,
I thought I knew that she loved me true,
Then why am I all so all alone

She called me each sunrise to live in her world
To breathe on his life and live on her words,
And gladly I would forever extend,
This love between us ’til my journeys end.

But who’d have believed,she went before me,
That’s why I’m all so all alone.
Gladly take her place I would,
With a smile on my face,if I only could,

I’d brave the storm,and wait for her
‘Til the ends of the world,to her arms again
I would take her place,’Til I see her face,
But I am still all so all alone.

She took of my life,and soul,and heart,
When from this life she had to depart.
Please,God,I just don’t understand
Can’t my heart make her live again

If only it could,if only it would,
But that's why I’m all so all alone.
I dream of the day,when her face I’ll see,
Shining in light and glorify.

But ’til the day I feel her embrace,
I must dream of her life,and remember her face.
But ’til the day,that I see her face,
I will remain all so all alone.

Beneath A Laughing Face

As I remember the times we spend besides the lake,
I just wonder, was it love or was the feeling fake?

The fun rides, beach blues and the lush garden greens,
Without you around everything is not just seen.

Giving up everything, just for your sake,
Is there anything, that you forgot to take?

Waiting up all the time besides the phone to ring,
Catching to the tunes of the songs we sing.

As my heart breaks, I try to fall asleep,
But still all our memories make me flip.

With everyday, the feeling for you gets tender,
And every moment, makes my love grow stronger.

I really couldn’t stand the pressure or the pain,
Not talking to or not seeing you, makes me go insane.

I really wished, I felt that we were still one,
do you remember, all the laughter and the fun?

Sharing my love to someone else is not my case,
So I hide my broken heart beneath a laughing face.
