THANK GOD I HAVE YOU

~THANK GOD I HAVE YOU~ 

You mount on me and I pretend 

I don’t enjoy it 

Ever since you came into my life 

Joy is what you brought me 

Lick me all over 

Kissing all of me out of me 

You play hide and seek 

With me and I pretend I hate it 

Because I have to do other things 

I love the way you come  

To meet me with much joy 

On seeing my return from a hard day’s labour  

Beneath me you always wish to lie 

To feel the warmth of my never cooling body 

Beneath my arms you love to be stroked 

How you sit to sleep makes smile 

And lights my heart 

My sadness you take away when you bite me 

My worries you make forgotten when  

You lie on my back 

O! Sandy, I thank God I have you 

For you show me much love 

And as a father and a friend 

I thank God I have such a lovely lively cat as you.

IN YOUR ARMS

~In Your Arms~

In your words I was reassured 

In them I was healed 

When my body was sored with 

Pain, sorrow and disappointments 

When I felt lost, they were my light 

In the dark. 

You have my heart, my compass 

You have my whole being 

And I am glad you do  

But I am not satisfied 

To the fullest- 

For we have been through a lot 

 And a lot I have been through waiting 

But at last, I have you. 

In your arms I want to lie 

And all my remains 

I want to lie in your arms forever 

I want your blue eyes look me 

Down as I lie in your arms 

And your pink lips 

I want to hear you call me 

Babe instead of my name 

Like you always do, 

I want to see thousands  

Of sun shine on me in your arms 

For in your tears I have found comfort 

In your smile I have smelled and seen hope 

In your face I have seen tomorrow; 

A place where men rode on the moon 

And see him fill his wonderful craters 

With tears of yesterday, 

A place where is far from- 

 Today and yesterday so- 

In your arms I would want to wait 

Till we all disintegrate to the  

Smallest unit of atom.

YESTERDAY AGAIN

~YESTERDAY AGAIN~ 

If I could ever get yesterday again 

If I could get into the wombs of my mother again 

I would play life safe after I’m reborn  

And make life easier for myself 

By thinking straight and pure. 

If I could ever get yesterday again 

I will make the bitter sweet 

By making love sweet 

Always live in the present and 

Vow never to probe beneath 

The pleasures of yesterday and tomorrow 

If I could ever get yesterday or maybe 

If life would do me a favour and borrow me 

A minute in the day before yesterday, 

I will cause my lover more laughter than cries 

Give her hope 

Than I ever tried 

Make her feel appreciated by me 

And improve her self-confidence 

And make today happy with my talents by 

Helping and lifting life’s most drowned.

DEEPER

~ DEEPER~ 

I can’t find my breath 

I can’t see it- 

I can't feel it out my nostrils though 

I’ve searched from my throat 

Deep down my diaphragm, 

I’ve scattered my lungs 

Since from the age of my soul 

So they say I breathe not 

But if I can’t breathe, then, 

What is the purpose of my existence? 

The car might have a gas but without battery 

Forget it! 

So what could have prolonged my existence? 

And that makes me keep searching 

If I would ever find in the suitcase of your heart 

Jamming my emotions and soul 

Still looking deeper. 

Trying to reason deeper if its reason 

Enough to search in you deeper 

So I will continue digging in you deeper 

With all my body might and mind 

Till I find it reason enough to stop and continue 

Again searching deeper in myself.
