The Journey

The day i first met you,
You were on my mind,
The thoughts were early,
You were so sweet and so kind.

Your eyes, the mirror for the soul,
Your lovely golden lock of hair,
And maybe somewhere cupid struck me,
Coz suddenly love was in the air.

Problems arose,
We started talking less,
Time elapsed still,
As life became a mess.

No one to look for,
No one to find.
How could i find anyone,
When you were on my mind??

Stars changed,
Paths crossed.
There you were before me,
Perfect as you always had been,
And i stood there crying,
Happy as I had  never been.

The day i held you in my arms,
I knew, there was something special in you,
The mystery of your beautiful eyes,
Forces me to always love you.
Baby you are my love,
You are my heart.
You're the the most precious thing,
That i ever got.

INVALUABLE PRESENCE

Under the boughs of apple tree

I sat brooding as always,

The birds sang song, the breeze blew

With the arrival of sun's first rays.

In sadness I sat, with a somber face,

And thought of life's tedious pace,

Of how I was to walk alone.

Abandoned, deserted to grieve alone.

The more I thought the worse I felt

With no more there to stand with me,

No soul alive to see my heart melt.

Or to listen my earnest plea,

From the distant church, I heard

The organ chime

An enchanting melodious tune,

It descended slowly in this heart

Of mine

All my sadness and loneliness to drown

Delighted my heart felt again,

For the almighty was there

I only had to call him

And knew my heart would sing

I was certain that I was not alone

My father would walk with me

In the good, the happy, the troubled times

During these ventures owe voyage of mine

THE DESCENT

Down the cliffs I go,

No one around me for miles

The salty air hits me hard,

There is silence, except for the roaring sea

Accompanying it all the while,

There's no fear in my heart,

A strange feeling has swept over me

The world has gone to dust,

With no future, no past

Leaving me in the wilderness,

And down below the surging sea.

Going over the barren cliffs

Walking for miles my feet are sore,

my hair has fallen like cascade around me.

All my clothes are shabby and torn.

Dust has fallen, the sun has gone

Darkness surrounds me in the eerie web.

I stumble along, making my way

Through the narrow ridges and clefts.

I am weary, So's my soul

I don't know where I'm heading

Darkness and gloom looms ahead

I'm apprehensive, but I don't care

About what I face or how I'll fare.
