We Are Coming

From the land of the ever-growing pyramids A special breed of hominids From the lands of the south With shrub strands held in mouth From the coasts of the west Where pure gold resides best From the deserts of the east Where the sun rises for man and beast To the center of our land [...]

Awake

“She’s awake! She’s awake!” they yelled together in ecstasy,” It’s a miracle! Doctor! Doctor!” Rather the nurse came rushing through the door. “What is it?” she asked, obviously freaked out at the outcry. “It’s my b-baby…she’s awake!” the patient’s mother spoke, tears of joy filling her eyes. “Jesus!

It rained, leaving the weather damp The breeze brings along brain cramp But I still roam memory-lane The only part that remains sane The fears I ever fought The tears I never sought The joys of the past The reasons they did not last The people I failed The ones I hailed The wrongs I [...]

Leave It

Which is the master? Which influences faster? The brain or the heart? Baffles even the smart Your heart says NO Your brain says YES Which way to go To avoid redress Short pain yields long pleasure Short pleasure yields long pain Advice, inspiration or peer-pressure Any option you consider main But as easy as A,B,C [...]

When Do I Miss You?

When do I miss you? It’s not when I can’t pull you out of my thoughts and kiss you Its not when I haven’s seen you in a year Its not when I awake from my dream and you’re not really here Its not when your name doesn’t appear on my phone Its not when [...]
