L' Chaim! (To Life!)

My mind's a maze of melancholic madness.
My soul's a sack of sentimental sadness.
It's time I shed self pity's
sombre shell,
and stepped outside my solitary cell!

The springtime songs outside my door are ringing.
The songbirds swoop,
non-stop: their sound of singing.
I dare not squelch with sorrow's baleful breath
the celebrants of life that conquers death!

Innovation

I'm the I's(eyes) in the sentence "I Am King..
I'm never blinded ,I can see.
The say heavy is the head that wears the crown
Well I'm prepared to frown
Like a silent geek.

I Am King ,I came with innovations
My rhymes and schemes are made in the old pages
I stay in the same location

You can come get me ,
Coz saying we gotta meet to beef is not healthy.
I'm full of ideas my ingredients could pop bellies

Plastic soul

Ever since I met you
I haven’t been okay
You dragged me back down
And now here I lay

Didn’t even stab me
But I’m left to bleed
You came back again
Only to love and leave

I tried to water you again
Let you breathe up the lush
So you could feel whole
But water doesn’t work on fake flowers
Who have a plastic soul

I fucking hate you
But not really at all

I Walk This World

I walk this world both night and day
Wanting to know what gives my stay.
Why my soul can find no true rest
Unless by your hand she is blessed.

I look as my world cry in pain
And wonder what in life we gain.
Why do we do our brother wrong
Happily singing our own song.

I cannot rest my searching heart
Till I know what’s the major part,
Till I know that calmness within
Saying that I have denounced sin.

What I keep saying to those standing in front of me

The last thing you wanna do
Is waiting in a queue
Sweating,
With numbing feet,
Time reluctantly passes
Be wise , think about it
Do not hesitate

Whatever you're waiting for
It s not worth it
So,
quit it
I know you shan't regret it.
I'll take the burden off
and wait in the queue
Instead of you

My Heart, My Heaven

With my eyes i can touch the universe
With my heart could i change the world
With my wisdom i can form an opinion
And with my hands could i sculpture a form.

With my family i can create a community
With my faith could the world change me
With my values i can judge impartially
And with my love ,can i be fairly judged

With my honour i can defend all goodness
With my observances can i find the truth
With mankind in perfect harmony
And with blessings to a greater god go i

Just can't say I'm sorry

I just cant say I'm sorry
and I don't know why?
And if I did,
I wouldn't know how
too much water under the bridge
to bring it all up now.
Caught with my foot in my mouth
I just want to shut down!
Drawing the life out of everyone,
I wear a perpetual frown.
Don't bother stopping by
or coming around
I'll only bring you sadness
of that there is no doubt.
In the very beginning,
I felt there was a way out,
but time has had it's way
of turning me due south.

Best Anniversary

Best anniversary, a day so sweet
A time to celebrate our love complete
The years have passed, yet our bond still strong
In each other's arms is where we belong

We've weathered storms and danced in the rain
Our hearts intertwined, forever the same
On this special day, we look back with pride
And toast to the love that will never subside

A dance to my April

A dance to my April

With rose dress flattering on the side
And long nylon tale ,tight up with beads
Bright and shiny beautiful month
Singing and dancing through the night

A dance to my April
Flowers blooming and leaves became green
Grateful and gratitude were all over the mood
My month April made aprons to the women's
A dance to my April

Fair Weather Friend

Friends can turn
From a mistake
Just misunderstood
The world can shake

I never lied to you
I just played the game
So did you, and I thought
It would always be the same

And yet when you don't
Bother to stick together
How am I the bad guy
For fighting the weather

I'm a manipulator and a liar
Simply for not joining you
Well, you didn't even ask me
What was I supposed to do?
