I saw vast expances of barren land.

On top of the world, beaming, I stood

Staring into the distance, as far as I could

I saw vast expances of barren land.

Laughing uncontrolably, I held up my hand

And planted my green flag of victory

At the peak of the mountain, so everyone could see.

Proudly I looked up, my throat dry

I looked up to the all pervasive sky

Posessed by a feeling of chaotic peace

I lifted my left foot, bending my knees.

To the entire world, my acomplishment I displayed

Atop the mountain, balancing, I stayed.

At that poignant moment, brimming with emotion,

I failed to notice my precarious position

A huge gust of wind blew me off my feet.

At that instant, victory didn´t seem too sweet.

I sailed downwards at a tremendous pace

Glancing at my father´s worried face...

My intrepid father made a crude leap in haste

To save me from my cruel fate.

¨Careful, kid,¨ he calmly said,

¨You´d have fallen and broken your head.

It´s very late, time to go home.¨

Did he understand my frustration -

No, I don´t think he did.

It´s hard, being a three-year-old kid.

From my father´s shoulder, I turned and stared

(Though my broken pride could never be repaired)

Wistfully at the crowded beach...

 

My sand mountain had gotten crushed...

An insensitive person had stepped on it...

Great boulders (little pebbles) lay scattered around...

And my flag of victory – the little green leaf

Had been stolen by a diabolical thief.

But no, I was wrong, the flag was there,

Torn to shreads and floating in the air.

I tried to maintain my composure...

But in vain... I burst into tears...

In despair, tossed my head

To look at the sky...

Father said : I´ll get you some peanuts, don´t cry.

A woman with a cure.
The bee stings,
The dam will break at dawn.
someday it will happen,
Someday it will begin.
The water is pure.
The bird sings a song,
A child listens,
And the dream becomes reality.
Whoosh says the water,
Coming down the river.
The bee sting hurts, but only for a while.
All will be well.

The tall tree growing with apples undernieth?
The sky so blue, It's a blinding sight.
Oh, no that would be the sun shining so bright.
The fluffy white cloud that will be grey by tomorrow.
The rocks and boulders; pebbles and sand.
The car in the drive, waiting to be drivin.
The road that has no end.
And when you come back to the reality inside,
You see nothing at all worth your eyes.

Get up! Get up!

Go play a fun game,
Run with the wind.

Are you okay?

But I have no home,
This is my home now.
There is no lock on the door,
There isn't even a door.
There are no windows to open
And feel the nice breeze.
There is no bed,
just some rags.
I sleep with absolutely no ease.
I wonder if I can afford
To stay somewhere, someday.
With a sturdy roof
That will keep the rain away.
But I know the truth:
This will not come true.
Because there are so many others
Still looking for jobs.
Why hire a bum?

]]>    A few years ago, while I was still in school,


I met a girl, more special than any other.

She was gorgeous, intelligent, kind, and I was a fool,

I didn't see she loved me, and I fell in the arms of another.

 

Today I am alone again, and it's not about my ex I'm thinking,

The girl I used to sit next to in class has now been gone for too long.

The more I think about it, the more I feel like crying,

I remember her tears, I remember her smiles, now I know I was wrong.

 

Now when I close my eyes, I see her silhouette,

And seeing her in my dreams makes me feel so blue.

All that is left, is that I regret,

Never having told her, Debbie, I love you.

Death of the Salesman
 
Life’s a journey gentle Air,
Wheels behind the peddle-
That’s what it all,
And nothing more;
Oh, Willy, Willy, Willy?
Though learnt to spite you Evermore,
Yet grief grips me more than before:
 
 Melancholy murmurs
As he honks the pedal,
“Where’s he fled!?”
-“In the Seller’s Home!”
“Why not in this glorious,
Roar’ious Sled?”
-“Because he is gone,
No coupons,
Coupons, oh we mourn...!”
 
The earth’s a sheet white with foam—
Mirth a heat-bickering call
Dripping deep with more its fall,
Dandelion dead’s the birth of Winter,
What With’-wedding;
Hiss-hissing its lonesome hinder
 
I hear a cello, or is it a flute,
Hindrance’s brute?
’Cause I hear flute flicked in ageing tone,
From beyond echoes this deathly, dreary mourn
 
Oh why, oh why is it so?
None were there at Willy’s grave,
Yet not knave, but rocked on brave,
Crashed his soul in melancholy’s gladness—
Someone spare me this deep deceitful, sadness;    
No coupons were there, to cash clean him his cellar...
Oh peace be it all for this lone lost, lingering Fella’
 
Just like the Raven of Alan Poe-
 
’Tis with me, by me, “Ever, evermore...”

I’m one of the luckiest to have got you,

But I want this good luck to go on forever.

My real self was shown because of you,

Since your arrival, my happiness only got better.

 

I cry at one instant cause I want to see you more,

I smile most of the time because I feel blessed to be your girl.

You make me dry your tears by showing your true love,

I’m glad to have stayed your arms at least for a short while.

 

Show me the heaven by exchanging our hearts.

Show me your sweetness by taking care of me in this life,

I’ll show you my loyalty in love and my heart beats in your name,

Believe me my dear, I will be your lucky wife.

An embodiment of fortitude he is

with rare valiance he's embossomed

An hombre honored for his great passion

Throughout the land he's known

a modern knight under this firmament

Brave enough to stand still and fight

amidst ablazing furies just for his

Lady to saved and rescued

But how can such a love so pure and true

Thou hast made a clandestine

And let thyself to solemn evens yearn

Thy lady that thou hast enshrined with affection

But of thy passion refuseth to speak

Should thy great soul wait

For how many stars to pass

'fore thy love, to this portentous soul be known?

Why waiteth for a harbinger

To bring thee a benighted scroll

That thy beloved maiden,

'tis now another man's lady?

I find myself asking the same question over and over. 
What is love? 
How do you truly define what love is, or where to find it? 
How do you know you are in love?
Is there a time limit to when its suppose to come,
Is there a rule towards when you feel it or how long you are supposed to feel it for? 
So many questions for only one word,
 LOVE. 
To tell you the truth I don’t even believe anyone knows what the true meaning is. 
Something that is so unexplainable, un-researchable, and unbelievable. 
Unbelievable
In the sense of, it’s so amazing when it happens;
You can’t even explain the feeling because it is so unique. 
Not a love you feel for your mother, father, brother or sister,
But a love that you have for someone that, stepped foot into your life
That has made you see another side of the world. 
A love that doesn’t hold you or pull you back in the world,
but you have to grow with, to take steps forward with. 
The one you wake up for in the morning,
The one right before you go to bed
You smile about because you have found someone that has made you complete.
Not many people find this thing called
LOVE,
But when you do find it and you, your self know its real,
Grab it. 
Grab it and don’t loose it
Because that could very well be the person you were met to be with. 
When you feel this and you know that this person is the one
The one that you are going to cherish and that they are going to cherish you back,
Do what your heart says and fight for it. 
Make sure they are the one and you want to spend the rest of your life with.
 Go to the ends of the world to have them in your life
Believe me when I say it will be worth it
Because at the end you will have the person of your dreams in your arms…
Forever and always.

One step up is one step down,

They sleep with one eye open in the public town,

They have this pain that traps all there trust,

They cry they die we should help them yes we must,

We get stressed over stupid things yes we do all moan,

They can still manage a smile even though they are alone,

How do we walk with our heads high,

I cant help but think of all those mothers going without saying goodbye,

So when you sleep tonight think of all of this,

I will also be thinking of everything those people must miss

I'm attracted to his winning charm,
All that i want is his final kiss,
The one that i need,
The one that i miss,
I move aside,
And let him go,
As if my hands are tied,
I Tell him i want him far away,
But deep down i want him to stay,
I need him close,
Closer than ever,
But really i want us together forever.
