The Night StormNight fells suddenly sending rays of hope in the sky as
anxious hearts make music with their flute and the violin with its tender strings bring back memories of my youth. It is the part of me that no one can see but something bigger than me is always speaking to me and it is...

Notre Dame BellsIt tolls eighty eight, times to symbolize that someone has died .It wasn’t the ordinary man in the street or the man that frequently disrupt the people’s heart beat; it wasn’t the fellow down the road or the man tending to sheep up the road, it was the man that wore the papacy cap and...

That spring is here once more
And we are going to party on the shore
my emotions is riding high
like a missile exploding in the sky

The corridors of HellThe sound of army boots marching upon marble tiles
that leads into a corridor near the towers
and the echoes of screaming children
brought me to my knees and I found myself
in an unusual place staring in space
I am staring down the corridors of hell
I wake up thinking that I was dead
I must have had a bad...

Agreement By The SeaThe ship has been rocking from shore to shore
battering over rough waves and endless seas
that came to the restless shores more than fifteen years ago
the temperature has risen to over a hundred and fifty degrees
forcing the country to call a state of emergency
People were literally falling in the street as their
body absorb the...

Shut Up Shop
They've done with this world, they've shut up shop,
They've locked every door and window.
They've pulled the curtains tight, all in is excluded within.
All dissension within is chained up and barred shut, all out of spite.
They've silenced the migratory birds,
They've told them to go sing to the neighbors instead.
The postman now tosses their mail in...

Sunrise at MidnightI couldn’t tell if it was day or night
something magnificent was happening in the sky
it was bigger than my eyes could behold
It was larger than my heart could contain
it wasn’t the fourth of July fireworks display
or Big Ben anniversary held at the river Thames
it was a natural phenomenon birth out...

Just EightShe was just eight when she stood at the gate
Looking at the distant sun moving with the clouds
while the trees rock with the speed of the wind and heavens
composed a wonderful hymn, it was the Sunday school
song that was playing in her head of how the Roman
Soldiers bury their dead when the battle ends.
There...

Budget ShipMid-day vibration is coming to town and the people are running around getting ready for a big party to celebrate their musical history.

And my beau is waiting for me, which ship he will board

Take the Bait and runDaylight breath in my face
like primrose blooming in spring
sending fumes all over the place
and I opened my mouth and gasp for breath
I twist and turn a dozen times
before I could drag myself out of bed
but I made one final leap and toss
the pillow in the street
and break the sleep deficit...

Dialogue with the Purple RoseOh Sweet rose of the night come
and dine with me tonight
drop your petals in the bosom of the sea
and raise your eyes towards the skies
and gaze at the stars as they pass by
What sweet fragrance flying in the air
Spreading its petals far and near
Oh purple rose of the night come
and be...

Let Us Not SayLet us not say
what could have been
revisiting a limb
up high
that petite
racing hearts
of tiny little
birds alone
would dare
take leave
together, and fly --
let us not say
for fear of soaring
fear of falling
we never gave love
a try
let us not say
let us not say
a safe but sorry
firmly grounded
goodbye --...
