Do Not Foreget Me

He came past to tell me,
His place of Business is moving
2,000 miles away, he sadly said.
I replied, right now you
Have no choice.
This is your only means of survival.
You will succeed well.
Wherever you go, whatever you do,
‘Just do not forget me’
Forget not, what we shared
Together over the years.
Away he went and…………..
Not a day passed by,
Without a call
Morning, noon and night.
He flew in town, once every month,
Not a Holiday passed by,
Without him in sight,
I found out, that long distance
Relationships work.
If you have the trust, love, understanding, bond,
And periodical sight and touch,
With each other.
There’s no need to say:
Do not forget me.

Father’s Child

Sitting in the corner of his room was the yellow balloon;
His father had given it to him,
Just like the rose in the garden waiting to bloom.

Not much later than three in the afternoon,
In his bed laid the father’s child and,
Sitting in the corner of his room was the yellow balloon.

One day in autumn filled with gloom,
Flowers began to wilt,
Just like the rose in the garden waiting to bloom.

Watching a tragedy in the darkness of the living room,
His father struggled then died, but he remembered,
Sitting in the corner of his room was the yellow balloon.

His father had passed away so very soon,
But he was ready, the son guessed,
Just like the rose in the garden waiting to bloom.

In the end it was all just certain doom,
Left alone with no one,
Sitting in the corner of his room was the yellow balloon,
Just like the rose in the garden waiting to bloom.

Park The Car

Park the car.
Get on a public transit bus.
Ride it for two weeks,
To prove you believe in diversity.
And pray your delusions stay alive.

After you have spent that time,
Mingling with ‘reality’ and have survived.
Only then will you come to see,
Real people more diversified and much different…
Than they are on TV and probably more intelligent.

Understand Me

if only you can feel what Im felling
if only you knew how much im dying
dying knowing that you will never understand
understand how much I care for you
how much I love you
as the curtain closing right in front of me eyes
tears running down my cheeks leaving a trace that can never be erased
cause no matter how I try to make you see just a little glimpse
of my emotions a little peak I my heart
just for you can see that it only beat this way for you
maybe you could’ve understand
but its seem like your emotionally blind
and death
but that doesn’t stop me from loving you
cause I know there will come a time you will understand just how much I love you
I hope its not too late

Would you Still Love Me

Dad would you still love me if I was gay:
If I was getting married to another woman would you still give me away?
Would you still call me your little princess if I told you I was a lesbian?
Would still love me if I told you I don’t like men?
Dad, don’t stand there speechless when I know you have some to say.
Dad do you still love me even through I’m gay?

Love Defined

Love Defined

What is love, but an emotion,
So strong and so pure,
That nurtured and shared with another
All tests it will endure?

What is love, but a force
To bring the mighty low,
With the strength to shame the mountains
And halt time’s ceaseless flow?

What is love, but a triumph,
A glorious goal attained,
The union of two souls, two hearts
A bond the angels have ordained?

What is love, but a champion,
To cast the tyrant from his throne,
And raise the flag of truth and peace,
And fear of death o’erthrow?

What is love, but a beacon,
To guide the wayward heart,
A blazing light upon the shoals
That dash cherished dreams apart?

And what is love, but forever,
Eternal and sincere,
A flame that through wax and wane
Will outlive life’s brief years?

So I’ll tell it on the mountaintops,
In all places high and low,
That love for you is my reason to be,
And will never break or bow.

Love Me

Love Me

Love me in the Springtime, when all is green and new,
Love me in the Summer, when the sky is oh so blue,
Love me in the Autumn, when the leaves are turning brown,
Love me in the Winter, when the snow is falling down.

Love me when I’m happy, and even when I’m sad,
Love me when I’m good, or when I’m oh so bad,
Love me when I’m pretty, or if my face is plain,
Love me when I’m feeling good, or when I’m feeling pain.

Love me always darlin’, in the rain or shining sun,
Love me always darlin’, after all is said and done,
Love me always darlin’, until all our life is through,
Love me always darlin’, for I’ll be lovin’ you!
