This chapbook is dedicated to the one I love



HIGHER I'll climb the Everest to show you my Love Jump from the mountain to win your heart Many obstacles are trying to keep us apart I'll go higher, leap over all and keep us close From the top of Eiffel tower I'll sing a song So you can hear my voice from far away I'll sing into the air and the wind amplifies It will reach to you no matter where you are My heart keeps beating, just for you alone I'm only flesh, you're my rock and my bone With you I'm willing to ascend any throne Cause together we'll achieve greater heights Ever since you came into my life I only think of ways to go higher

WINNING Coming from series of battles, we don't stop We keep moving cause the top is the aim Even if faced with brick walls, we don't abort We'll climb over to the brighter side of life With eyes on the creator as our support Look at the food chain, we're at the top Basking in the euphoria of divine wisdom Let it flow from the source that never dries We'll keep winning, making it a way of life Staying positive even in the time of strife Being optimistic when faced with drought Turning bad days to good days with a smile Each day in life, the battle keeps coming We don't fright, we've got what it takes to win

HOMING No matter how wild my emotions run It'll keep coming back to you my world Your words keep ringing in my head They guide me even when I go astray I search the nook and cranny of my heart It's all filled up, your love wraps me fully Nothing can detach my heart from yours We magnet each other, we're stuck forever I may go far, but never take to worries Like a pigeon I'll keep coming back To you, and to ensure you're happy That's the only thought on my way out Life can take me to distant places I'll always come back to you my Love.

FIRST LOVE Let's dance all night doing the tango Hold me close as we spin through life I want to spend my happy days with you And see ourselves grow old to babies First love has left its sting on me It's been so from the first day we met Giving my last blood making things fine Toiling to put a roof over our heads If I ever wake up to a world without you Life will go on but things become bland Your Love spices up my journey on earth I'm contented with you, I search no further My first Love has been my best Love Because she's willing to spill first blood

MY QUEEN Brave hearted in the face of turmoil Sure-footed in creating life paths Deep rooted, her views are positive We crossed path sharing God's gift She'll be the one to rule my kingdom In my absence she rises to stardom Leading the battle to sounds of victory She's got clues passed on from history I'm confident and trust in her decision She's passed all test set with precision Having you is God's continuous Blessing I cherish you to a point I'll lay my life There is no King without a Queen You're the perfect being for me

STUMBLE No path created is the perfect one There are bridges on any way taken Even on this one that we have chosen We've also come across rough days We've prayed while wishing for better days Crying on the days the pain seems not to go If you can't remember the hunger, I felt it I was awake on those nights thinking We stumble, hold each other on the way If one falls the other is always close by Bonded heart and this is the right option Closely knitted, interwoven from within Even if the bridge shakes and we stumble, We'll always make our way across this path

MELT The rain is falling, my heart is melting Love is calling and the cold is coming You I'm wanting to hold through time You're expensive yet I have no dime My melted heart is turning into gold I sold it all to be able to have you Crushed Love, you fix my soul entirely Broken world, you gum my heart to yours Now I'm liquid, you caused all the flow Even through danger, I'll still seek you You're hot, no fly can perch on my Love You burn me, you kiss ignites a fire in me I am a rock, stubborn and hot headed But your love is fire that melts me completely

SINGING You'll find me at the city gate Or at the bar doing the karaoke At the concert with million souls I'll tell them all you're the best Deep down in the ocean they all know They heard my songs and now dancing They all are singing \" What a beautiful Love \" Thereafter saying \" We all need such Love \" At the royal court I'll go on to sing songs Of the beautiful love that you show to me For everyone to go on and find such Love Mine gives me goosebumps from her touch I can go on singing songs forever Into the afterlife I call forever

CONSCIOUS I'm conscious to your feelings my Rose I'll nurture and make your petals shine Through the autumn when your leaves shed I'll be with you till the time you spring again I'll give you water until you blossom And you begin to attract the butterflies They'll want to suck and drink your juice Your milk is reserved for your kids only When you hurt I can feel it inside of me Each step you take I keep praying for you Each sweat you break comes back profitable With clear conscience making life to be good There is never a time I don't think of you Each seconds you are in my consciousness

THROW I'll throw away all my dirt and turn clean Years of habits that turned to hindrance Clays of filth that I unknowingly molded I got burned and became hard like bricks Anger that can overthrow good thoughts Fierce words with venom like the serpent Not willing to take instructions from you I never knew all these should go away I'll throw bad habits and pick up new live As to grease our Love and keep heart beat You are the reason I turn away from old Cause no man will want to throw gold away You're precious to me and priceless I found you, I'll never throw you away

KNIGHT On my Black horse I ride in the dark night Into the wood making things to go right Shinning vest on made with black iron ore I ride into the wild to protect us from evil I'll fight to defend our love through time Building a wall to keep the enemies out Securing our hearts against all doubts Evolving through these moments in life I'll race to keep our hearts beating together Making sure that it ticks around the clock Every day is one step closer to our dream Closer to a time that victory is achieved Even in the time of fierce battles I'll fight to defend the love we share

SURVIVAL Drowning in the ocean, our Love will not die Crashing from the skies to earth, we survive Through time of tears, we completely heal Heaven said to me, we are meant to be Even with distance , we broke boundaries Feelings trying to be caged, freedom came We are deep planted and meant to grow Surely we are to reap where we sow And when we are being thrust into the fire Together we'll come out more refined Because the Love we share is divine We'll keep on growing like the vine We are in this stormy days together Stay calm cause we are survivals

DREAM I see you in my dream each night I sleep You reach out to me and I wish to follow At the point my spirit is about to leap With you I'll want to fly to the sky Getting high and enjoying the view I'll not want this love crash landing If we land it's at the mountains top We've set standards keeping us up Like the eagle we'll build our nest high Away from the reach of predators A place where our Love soars and glide No obstacles, our dreams will come true In my sleep the world I wish for appears I wake up living, I now have to create it

A DAY IN LIFE One day I looked up and saw your face Your beauty radiating I gazed for long I stood like my feet was nailed to the ground You smiled, it was the finest I had seen One day I tried to redraw your beauty In my mind I was the best of artist I made a picture of what I dream Which is to be with you every day The other day you walked pass the front I freeze, my heart stopped pumping blood If I was to be hunted, you got me off guard Like a statue I stood looking at God's beauty On this day I profess my love for you I want to spend the rest days with you

REINCARNATE One day this flesh I have will be gone I'll take home thoughts of days we shared Memories that we made when together Will give me a happy and fulfilled end Days I drank from the fountain of your care Deep down from where your love is pure To lose you, a thing I will not dare In my ailments your touch is the cure I do not wish to break out of this Love I want to be entangled in your arm To be locked in the depth of your heart And be filled with all your emotions If I'm brought back to the world again I'll still choose your love over and over

MY SUN You're my sun, the brightest in my day Around you my whole world rotates You give me energy when I am weak Sending hot rays to charge me up You're the sunshine that grows my love You shine on me, my heart becomes bright A little of your light takes out the dark Your smile sends to me emotional spark Without you how do I grow on earth You shower me with Love so green You shone so bright on me, my rebirth Drowning in your heart, my dream scene My sun shines, to show us our path clearly My sunshine is you and will be forever

RACE For this long I'm yet to win your heart I'm craving you and your sweet touch The closer I get the farther you go away I keep running after you, I won't let you go I'm running, chasing after your heart I'll cover more than a million miles I won't stop to catch a breathe If I fall let it be at your feet If I die let it be in your arms This way I know I reached my target Looking back to the years I came from It is worth it cause your heart is rare gem I'll keep running after you nonstop Until a time two hearts beats as one

PEN The pen pours out emotion on paper It is the best of lotion that is applied Words that are difficult to express Are written with no vocal limitations The best of gifts than can be given A tool that sets the mind horizon free Ink that comes from within inspiration Is certain to flow and never run dry The pen is a key to figure things out Burden of life is being modelled with it It can be used to wipe away your cries Just write what gives you ultimate joy Each pen I see that is loaded with ink I see blank pages waiting to be filled

THE VIEW FROM HERE I sit up at night gazing at the stars I wonder how it feels to be high up there There is anguish on the grounds I stand I can't sleep cause the hunger increases From the time my parent planted this seed Through the years they kept cleaning weed Even through famine, I kept growing up Tending high to shine bright up in the sky I do not know what tomorrow holds for me I wish to come out and shine some day So that the world will see this light That was about to be kicked out of the sky Now I'm up viewing earth from the sky All I see are the oceans and the grasses

FERTILE Ground so green flower well groomed I want to know the taste of your sweetness At all times you flower and you bloom Your roots must be deep to stay evergreen I want to plant my seed in your fertile ground So we see what the next generation holds To see life with you through a single lens The faces of our kids when our world is one We'll grow together and have big trees Years of watering and tending the garden It shall all come back in good fate to us We plant and water but God grows the seed I have an idea to plant in you I want to see it on our children’s face
