Inspiration is as sweet as the reciever

I’ve found luxury in the scent of rain
Peace, to wash away the pain,
Life shall flourish over again
And poverty shall never stain
The luxury of falling rain.

I’ve found freedom in the sc…

Ma, can you tell me why,
The white men treat us so unkind?
Is it that the colour of my skin
Can truly reflect the heart within?

Please Ma, can you tell my why
I go hungry, by and by?

Oh angel face, why so forlorn?
Oh tired eyes, I see you yawn!
You will sleep here safe tonight,
It’s time now for your moonlit flight.

An angel face with angel eyes-
Faraway to dreamland…

If I could take your troubles,
With my own,
Upon my shoulders,
I’d carry them for you-
Until time consumed the burden,
Of my love.

The scent of spring, lingered in the air,
I knew…somehow,
That I would find you there.
I found love, so elusive, by the lake
Where jasmine bloomed…
Only for beautys sake.
On summer ni…

Oh, I would buy my freedom,
If I knew what it was worth.
If I knew where I could buy this thing,
I would rise out of this dirt…
I would go unto that place,
And lay my money down,
I woul…

Silverly, silverly the rain patters down,
Silently, silently like the tears of a clown.
Raindrops of diamond gleam in the skies,
Softly, and sadly, like lost butterflies.
Magically, magical…

She Floats…effervescent,
Through the pale night air,
Silhoetted by the moon,
The wind in her hair…
Sheer wings glow like diamonds,
With hues of malachite and pearls-
Clad in silver go…

Sleepless under a foreign sky,

Not knowing, or really caring why -

I wandered in the morning light,

While the day was slowly waking up the night.

I saw a field, long and wide-

On…

On a quest for a twilight miracle,
The journey has begun,
I search for a benediction,
Sweet like honey on my tounge.

On the horizon of this misery,
My guilt becomes obselete
I conceal t…

My heart thrives under city lights,
My dreams are born on city nights,
I am a child of the golden street lamps,
I am a child of the city.

When I see the midnight people, walking by,
Or t…

We sang “The Gambler” all night long,
drank our two bottles, of bundaberg rum
Just like we used to, still brings a smile
Coz…. “We were both too tired to sleep!”

I’d been ridin’ and you’d…

If I love, then my heart is fast, irrational
Common sense becomes rare, impractical
My desire, my need – selfish, inexcusable,
If I love then my heart is wild, illusional.

When you smile,…

The places I’ve been,
The things that I’ve done
The times I have seen,
The laughter, the fun.

People I’ve known,
Classmates from the past…
The pictures are shown,
Today will not last…

I went down to the beach last night
And drew a circle in the sand.
I don’t know why I finished the circle,
Or why I ever began.

I’m going down to the beach tomorrow,
To feel the wind run…

Thought I would share with you some of my favourite books, for those of you who like to read and are maybe looking for something TO read. Later I might write some reviews !!!

Sparkling crystal waters,
Alive with shades of blue,
Many moods of the ocean,
Reminding me of you.

Wide and sweeping wheat fields,
Deep bronze, and golden too,
The softest feathered sha…

There’s a field of red roses,
There’s a sword stained with blood,
Here die the roses
With the passion, of my love.

When at times life has been tough on you,
You learnt to carry on
When there was none to help you bear the load,
It was your own strength you leaned on.

Most times, when something got you …
