you

your smile, your tears, your life
i never knew i'd share them
but its a privilege
to have you by my side

the way you captivate me
even if the world doesn't think so
but i just want to let you know
i guess we're meant to be

its amazing how
your hand fits mine
however i feel, hold mine
and i'll feel fine

your scars, your hurts, your strifes
thank you for sharing them with me
you saw so much in me
things i never knew i'd see

what did you see in us?
today i see it too
you're worth every moment
i'm glad you love me too.

Bloodstained Hands

they still smell of the blood
the blood that sin caused
my tears come like a flood
its never enough to wash me

i can only come before You
ashamed and in need of You
how can i even stand before You?
these hands block my path

but try as i might
i can never reach You
yet You never gave up
You sent your Son

Cleanse my hands
purify me once again
i could only beg on my knees
yet You never turned me away

what grace is this!
that is sufficient for me
what love is this
that blots out the blood

these hands are cleaned once again
who knows, they might be dirty
yet God's grace abinds
changing hearts and cleansing sin

Fly

i don't know if its just me
somehow whenever i'm with you
i get so high with a smile on my face
i hope no one else sees

it never gets old although
it seems always the same
i won't get tired of your touch

you take me so high
i think i could fly
kiss me everyday
and i'll never walk again

you have that effect on me
if i had wings it'll be plain to see
you can make my day

everytime i'm with you
i realise i'm still crazy over you
from the first time till today
i think of you everyday

Thankful

walking down this road never seemed better
my smile's brighter
and there's the extra bounce in my steps

the night's dont seem cold anymore
i think the moon's laughing too
seems to much to ask for more

i'm so thankful for someone like you
such a blessing and i'm glad your with me
i aint gonna get blue!

i dunno how long this will last
but i'll enjoy the ride
whether on thorns or grass

one thing's for sure
i'll always be thankful
for someone like you!

Superhero

do you have a superhero?
im sure everyone has their idol
clad in costumes, tights and the like
or even the real in reel

oh im sure we have many names
our heros are rarely the same
celebrities or people on tv
even mommy or daddy

i know who my hero is
he's always around me
wanting the best for me
and he loves me so

you cant see him
but you can feel him
i know he's there
and he loves you too

he always beats the baddies
it dun matter where he stays
he can come into ur heart

tell everyone around
cause he loves me
and loves you too

could you hold my hand?

could you hold my hand?
let me believe
that this will never end

dont pull away when im falling
hold me close
when im crying

i dun want this to end
i dunno wats going on
could you hold my hand?

Perth

sweetheart's gone down under
we're away from each other
for the longest time ever
my heart's aching for her

but i guess the hurting aint that bad
cause we'll be seeing eah other
so there's no need to be sad
she aint gone forever

she's over at the city of perth
a miilion miles away from me
at least we share the same moon
and i know she'll be home soon

the days will go by
so there's no need to sigh
we're looking at the same sky
that makes me feel that you're nearby

although we're so far apart
you're here with me in my heart
thank goodness you're not gone forever
or i'll just get weaker

the girl i deeply love
is so far away in perth
between me and her
is the longest distance on earth

don't worry,
i'm not resentful
cause i know she'll be home soon.

Yellow Car

anoher one goes by
there're so little of them
but we can always find one
and you always beat me to it

however this goes
we'll never know how many there are
but i'm sure there are those who know
how is it like to ride a yellow car

i'll always wonder how many times
you beat me to a yellow car
but i know for sure
i'll take time to be on par

you're never too far
whenever i see a yellow car
it always reminds me of your smile
and it'll take me the extra mile

I Miss

two words running around me
the feelings swamp the room
you're all i see
i think i'm a little woozy
it might be the full moon
i wish i could see you soon
i know what you're thinking
i think that's how i feel
i'm getting crazyy
but really, that's how i feel

i miss, i miss, i miss you
touch me once again
and i'll be alright
i don't care if you think i'm insane
but i just want to see you tonight

memories of you around me
all your words from 'a' to 'z'
the stuff i hear and feel
i'm getting incoherent
but all i feel is you

hold my hand and let's fly
i'l take you around my topsy turvy world
where nothing's right side up
and everything's in a whirl

i miss, i miss, i miss you
kiss me and i'll get crazy
rest your head on my shoulders
i'll never be alright
or maybe it's just me

call me crazy
wake me from my dream
but although it may seem
upside down
wrong way around
topside up
and absoulutely nonsensical

i think i'm alright.

Tigers

watched your tears
upon your striped body
didnt think you had fears
in the midst of majesty

the times you ran with agility
through the forests and trees
nowhere never seemed to far
when you could run and jump

i'll never hear you roar
the times your pride
gave you wings to soar
it was then you were such a sight

your beuaty stripped by age
time never has any mercy
your dying body's only a cage
let go and run free

Winter (As Snow Falls)

snow falls,
pretty crystals on the front garden
little souveniers i can't keep,
they'd look nice on you

far from home,
my heart aches thinkng of you
tears fall,
one with the deep snow

how cold can it get
when you're not with me
how much can i take
you seem too far away

winds blow and lakes freeze
i call your name
accompanied by the gloomiest sight
i've ever seen

december offers no comfort
she's too cold for me
how i long for your hand in mine
and listening to you saying my name

fir cones and snowmen
the children play and i envy
if only you were here with me
then i'd be smiling along

its never too cold
when you say you love me
winter can never overcome
the warmth of your touch

this silly boy's getting all depressed
maybe he's lovesick
longing for you
hold him,

as snow falls.

superman

nothing on the physical plane
can match up to me
even if its world war 3

i could fly and i can soar
the clouds are my companions
providing meditative silence
and fear to those who come near

nine to five's never enough
superman don't do minimum stuff
the only break i take
is when i change my clothes

iisn't it enought for everyone"
hungry mouths are fed and
innermost desires satisfied
yet i can't save you
from a broken heart

high flying and famous
i never knew you could want more
the world's at peace
yet a tempest rages

superman don't exist
maybe only in my world
cause he can save everyone else
but can't be there
for the ones he dearly loves

the world's in one piece
but your world's come apart
just like your heart of yours
which you entrusted me to keep.

tears fall now and then
superman ain't real
he's a coward, running away
from he very problems
he could solve

running away and finding excuses
in his world where everything's perfect
and everyone's satisfied.

superman dont say sorry
superman never dies or gives up
but superman's only a facade
he's only a mere mortal.

Love is like a rose without the flower
It hurts when you get closer
When you want to give up
The thorns stab your heart
How can I hold on?
The bleeding just won’t stop

It hurts me so to choose
I want to hold on
But its getting messy
I can’t hold them in
Seeing you hurt by me

Why is love so full of thorns?
Its something I can’t grasp
All I want is to be there
But I’m too messed up.

Love is like a rose without the flower
Green, stark, ugly and hard to hold onto
How can it blind anyone?
But its got me.

Why don’t you just give up on me?
It’ll make things so much easier
Throw this rose away
It’s ugly and hurts me so.

I’m holding onto thorns
I’m bleeding, my heart crying
It hurts me
but all I want is to hold on.

*will u read this? juz leave me lying, i'm too proud to ask you......*

Thirty

how special is this number to you?
the thirtieth entry here
it sure is special to me

i never knew i'd come so far
thirty pieces here and there
i'm still in one piece

the valleys' always seem
dark and dangerous
but they're worth it

the mountain tops
in humanity dun come by often
we always seem to stumble

falling failing finishing last
what's new you ask me
the lessons learnt!

every failure brings us closer
to who we're meant to be
so don't give up

so here i stand
thirty entries
how have i grown?

Katrina

the winds tore through
the town i knew
the rains swept away
the good ol'times i know

how could this be
the friends i knew
had all left me
they dont know how i feel

katrina came and she shouted
she roared and screeched
we felt the pain
i was numbed by her

coming uninvited and unwanted
bursting down the door of my home
taking my mother along
and leaving me briused and hurt

couldn't you have had more mercy?
on the poor like me?
now i'm so far away from home
and far away from memories

katrina you didnt have to do what you did
taking mom, dad and siblings
katrina i'm too tired to feel angry
i'm too depressed to shout back

katrina's angry tears flood my driveway
my tears flow
i cant stop them
let me cry here



*dedicated to the victims of hurricane katrina; do not give up*

geraldine

just to see you for one more day
the desire worsens the pain
its been so long, yet we're still the same

oh geraldine
just another day beside you
oh geraldine
although these feelings tell me otherwise
i know i aint what you need

i'm over here always looking out
i dont know if i should wait
maybe i should just leave

but not before i say what
might destroy who i know
yet words elude me
and your smile blinds me

geraldine,
i always wondered why
how two people can come so close
yet still remain so very far

catching those precious tears
watching for your every step
yet i cant come any closer
than where we are now


*resemblence to any person, living or dead, is purely coincidental and unintentional*

Loser

have i lost it?
the words dont seem to rhyme no more
can't seem to flow and simple terms
suddenly elude me

i think i've lost it
can't see straight or feel right
emotions shouldnt take control
but they didnt

i think i've lost them all
cant make you understand
wanna scream out but words
suddenly elude me

the picture painted doesnt come out right
trying to debut once again
but the layoff's been long
i think i've lost it all

yet this still appears
somehow miracles still happen today
i'm still shattered but i'm fine
have i lost it?

Tears Of God

tears of God that fell to earth
with him crying out loud
with anguish and deepest pain
his tears fell to those that rejected

taking on man and his limitations
he chose to fall under men's evil
flogged and mocked
even his friends left him

he wept over a dead man
and healed a countless many
nature didnt dare oppose he
who created the earth

how did he feel on that cross
crying his heart out
to one who turned his back on him
did he cry and did he weep?

those tears that continue to flow
can one so great be hurt by me?
he cries over humanity
and weeps over insincerity


why did they flow to earth
those tears of God
such deep concern for me
a love so great fear is afraid

tears of he who made me
becoming man like me
understanding and not judging
my tears are not enough

on nights so cold and lonely
where i've wondered in search
for pastures i thought were better
i hear His voice calling me
by name and I know His voice

despite tasting His words
that are as sweet as honey
still i looked for something
i thought was better
yet the world
couldnt offer peace like Yours

i've come to know the extent
of my sin that nailed You to the cross
my knees are stiff no more
my eyes no longer dry
as i fall on my knees
crying out in distress

He is faithful
and never lets go
i searched for Him
i drew near to Him
and He was there

He has forgiven me!
as i lie in His arms
knowing the peace i once forsook
knowing the slate has been wiped clean!

Reach

just so i could see your smile
the stars never seem far enough
but i'll bring them to you
or i'll bring you to them

reach out for you
you never seem to far away
though its your face i see
i wish you were reaching out as well

just so i could be with you
the world never seemed smaller
nor the rivers or seas any dangerous
i'll cross them all with my life at stake

i'm reaching out for you
but all i can do is to watch from afar
to watch every tear fall
and yet unable to do anything at all

why are we so apart
in times like this
where the world should've been smaller
yet i can't even see you face to face

reaching out for empty space
yet i still see your face
in empty dreams
you're still so far away from me
