The low lands call
I am tempted to answer
They are offering me a free dwelling
Without having to conquer
...
Pounds of pain punctured my progress
Tons of trouble terminated my tranquility
Swarms of stress subtracted my substance
My heart exploded like a thousand thunders
...
An ocean swims in every tear drop
A river rejoices in every drop of rain
A thunder talks in every heart beat
The wind whispers in every breath
...
I saw some rocks
Skipping down hill
They jumped so joyfully
It gave me a thrill
...
Irresponsibility has been an enemy to me
I am not even close to where I should be
I find myself drifting like a log on the sea
Oh Mr. Responsibility hear my desperate plea
...
The sun got out of bed
Swam across the ocean
Just to shine on you today
...
Who will dance with the wind now that you're really gone?
Who will catch the sun's rays on the hot summer morn?
Who will slow down the gust when it's out of control?
...
Flying like an eagle
Every day of my life
Not like a chicken
Just to avoid strife
...
Mountains for my mansion
The forest for my pantry
The clouds for my carpet
The sky for my curtains
...
Once I saw some boys
Outside a gate
They had come to school
But they were very late
...
My heart like a desert
My tears like a river
Shifting sands of sadness
My whole body shivers
...
Exiled on the isle of passion and shackled in the prison of craving.
Bottled up emotion - screaming and shouting and searching for an escape.
Like a dehydrated deer tracking water -Like a desert hunting an oasis.
Deluge of flames enrapture my being with the fervor of a thousand fire.
...
Penetrates the wonderful womb of wisdom
Ordained to inspire hope and re-script destiny
Enlightens to minus the miasma of the masses
Trained for titillation and tutored for titivation
...
Biology invigorated by Chemistry and empowered by Geography
infuses us with a plethora of poignant sensations, embraced by
thevelvet of tenderness and clasped in the arms of monogamy.
My heart is made of metal and yours, my virtuous bride, of magnet.
...
Delivered from darkness
A great lover of the light
Rising extremely early
working with all my might
...
Death you are going to die
You have ravished our hearts and compelled us to cry
Death you are going to die
You have strangled our loved ones and made us ask why
...
Clad with garments of dignity
Perfumed with ethical sensitivity
Quintessential queen of quality
Regal consort of my ecstasy
...
You are my mother
More supportive than a brother
You are my mother
More compassionate than a sister
...
~ I Choose The Mountain~
The low lands call
I am tempted to answer
They are offering me a free dwelling
Without having to conquer
The massive mountain makes its move
Beckoning me to ascend
A much more difficult path
To get up the slippery bend
I cannot choose both
I have a choice to make
I must be wise
This will determine my fate
I choose, I choose the mountain
With all its stress and strain
Because only by climbing
Can I rise above the plain
I choose the mountain
And I will never stop climbing
I choose the mountain
And I shall forever be ascending
I choose the mountain
