TRUE LOVE


    • The first day I saw you, my heart melted
      And i know i have found my soul mate.
      My heart dances whenever I see you
      And I know our love is true
      With that natural hair like silk and your lips so tender
      Each moment spent with you makes me surrender
      Within my dreams, I see you
      Within my soul, I feel you
      Within my heart, I will forever love you
      Can I have your wings?
      So we can fly together to the land where the soul of sunlight sings.
      Even the green tress and the host of heaven
      Knows of my love for you
      I love the moon for night and you forever
      by Merrie-Gloria Bemah Yeboah

Hado 91: Senju Koten Taiho (千手皎天汰炮)

Beyond, the end of a thousand hands,
the hand of darkness out of reach,
the archer in heaven that goes unseen,
road that lights the way,
wind that ignites the embers,
Gather without hesitation....

 Look where I point....
O bullets of light, bodies of eight,
rays of nine, paths of heaven, treasures of speed,
wheels of immensity, cannonns of grey
from a distance draw this bow, and have me watch...as the Arrow fades into light.




WHAT IT IS


Time after time 
We feel the urge to lament 
We get pushed hard; tormented 
Sometimes it is hard enough 
Other times we feel we are to tough; "tough it out"we say 
"It's time!"...is what we should say 
Time; time for what? 
Time to prove that we are angry? 
Or is it time to make change? 

Fact is, in the spring, cherries would blossom: 
Just as in time, you would be furthest from the bottom. 
Like a sailor lost at sea lost his hope and felt lifeless, 
the same way we would feel when we have been crushed to the point of uttering "its time" 

We will fall, just as many times as we would rise 
Not all the time do we rise back as strong, but we would rise! 
Life is a fight; a war. 
Many battles; you loose some, you win some. 
Just keep fighting 
A battle; Our battle: Yes! That's what it is!

FRIENDS NO MORE

A Good friend is hard to come by this days 
But you showed me how easy it is when we first met
As time went by that friendship begun to grow rapidly 
It was like a friendship made in heaven 
The bond became unbreakable 
But the friendship that I thought we had has begun to fall apart
like a pile of rocks falling off a cliff 
Now "X" marks the end of a great friendship and a life without you 
in it. 
You are now free from this friendship
Have a nice a life.

O Caribbean.
O Caribbean, Soft and sweetly so, calling out to me.
Time and time again, I surf these tides for you my friend, mend a broken heart, O Caribbean.
as Embers and evenings glow, Soft and sweetly so,
Whisper secrets to my ears, till the rise of sun or rain.
In dream I sleep and wake, with thoughts of you in mind,
Bid me soft and sweetly so, O Caribbean.


For what is love and hate, without a one to blame?
Soft and sweetly so, O Caribbean.
The Sound of Gulls grace my ears, as I Stare on to yesteryears,
Fitting the pieces of an endless puzzle, as toast to life, love and friends.


Time and time again, mend me over and over again,
Soft and sweetly so, O Caribbean.
