The river of thought flows
through my heart with the flowers of peace
that sweeps through the pace of my world
...

Lonely night with trance of dashing images
crossing the shore of my island.
Diving in the ocean of your love
soaked in the fragrance of your tenderness
...

In the night of my imaginations arises
the hope of beauty, joy of love and
peace of laughter.
Where has my heart gone?
...

In the season of drought and famine,
You sprout like a cedar tree
In the time of dryness and impossibility,
hope kept calling
...

How beautiful are the lilies
on mountain top
leaving a saddening touch
in the valley of orchids.
...

Walking the street of reality
where hustle and tussle is the
order of da day
where disaster, war and corruption
...

The path my ancestors tread, i dread
the same route i go consciously, unconsciously
To keep from this path I know not
but to live, I discover with a mighty love.
...

Dressed in nature attire
but her reflection is in heaven attire
adorned in an apparel of unusual beauty
is the woman out there.
...

In the shadow of my heart
arrives the designated long night
glowing with a thick cloud
flowing in the gaze of my moon
...

on the podium of power I step
the impeccable of wisdom displayed
in a twilight romance with aisles of intelligence
a step ahead in the calculation of time
...

A darkened thought overwhelm my mind
An escape route I sought
Of a strange reflection
...

On me thus fall the tears of the cloud
So beautiful is the morning few on lilies
Pleasant sunrise on flowers
Melodious sound of the roaring waters
...

You entered the heart of the wicked
you brought forth good
you searched for sorrow,
and found joy
...

An abusive words choked in the
heart of the innocent
a harsh hand strayed its cheek
a poisoned heart planned the fall
...

Green are the grasses of the kingdom
with the dashing blue sky reflecting the
roaring ocean
...

Reaching out with broken wings
yet on the clouds of smile
thus i fly to get by
...

My heart wanders in the desert of thought
Searching for a water of life
Hoping it rains down heavily
filling up the drains of the sand
...

The beauty of nature steal glances
from my heart
The mystery of the ocean
leaves me speechless
...

In the desert of wonder,
on the hills of curiousity,
in the valley of why,
on the mountain of inquiry,
...

On the far island, the ocean of
fear keeps us from breathing
The right of risk prevent us from taking a step
caged in the cage of life's worry
...
