I have a question that‘s bothering meits all about little boysWhy are they scruffy and so unkindand why do they make all that noiseI normally wouldn‘t bother so muchbut the answer I must find you seeBecause I have three of the most horrible kindliving in this house with meWait a minute perhaps that‘s unkind,Its obvious how silly of meI have made the mistake of comparing them with girlswho naturally are all perfect like me.

Be wary of Greed it‘s a cunning creaturethat sneaks up behind your backIt starts with „wouldn‘t it be nice to have“ andends with „I must have that“At first quite small it soon grows tall it has an enormous appetiteAn equal share wouldn‘t do at all, but that just can‘t be rightSo don‘t stand still worrying too much that its old instead of newBecause as you stand dreaming about what you want nextGreed will creep up on you.

Memories passing byon the streets or maybe on the bridge‘s highA moment of happinessor an instant of sadnessBrings a bubbly smile,else you are numb for a whileDesired or else ignored,any of those;but the memory gets stored.constantly demanding action,maybe for personal satisfaction,ignoring or accepting is your decision,what to do and what not is a big questionheart and mind go opposite in direction,and if wanna stay out of this confusionlet the memory pass by without interruption.!!

I may not have beenThe perfect MumBut this I have to tellI will always to be there for youWhether it is near or farTo lend a listing earOr give a hugTo wipe a tear and dry your eyesBut one thing I have to tellIs my unconditional love for youSo when my time on earth is doneAnd I have gone to the heavens abovePlease I ask you to rememberMy unconditional Love for YouI won’t go very far awaySo when you are feeling downAnd see a butterflyOr a star shining brightly in the skyThen you will knowThat it will be meWith my unconditional love For You.

Grumpy the clown wore a terrible frown,he had nothing to be happy aboutHe had no money or friends to play withand never would have no doubtThen one day whilst making his waythrough a dark and silent woodHe spotted a face, such a horrible face,and there petrified he stoodHe stood for an hour not daring to movetrying to look brave and tallHe stood for an hour and then realisedthat the face hadn’t moved at allSo he moved just a bit and then he was hitwith the truth that was plain to seeThat face is no face, that face is my face,that face is Grumpy, that’s meThen a fish broke the water and started his laughterwhich hasn’t stopped to this dayAnd as a result he now is happyand has friends with which to play.

One magnificent night,With a man worth to fight;A man like a prophet,His words I can‘t forget.

A Chance to endeavour,The one I might been dreaming for.Your Greatness I can savour;Certainly! The one I am looking for.

Lonely night I long,Your dazzling blue eyes caught me on.Please! Don‘t get me wrong:But you turns me on.

Peculiar myths to sayIt‘s you I swear and pray.I may sound like crazy,But its you I can dance with baby!

Just give it a try,I assure you ain‘t gonna cry.One sudden night,One sign of never ending light.

You, Who tamed me with liesFor no reason whyI know someday we‘ll have our own livesAs time passes by, I ask my self why?

Yes! I should accept,It‘s you I cannot forget.I‘m scared and i hope you care,Coz i have no one, but you i stare.

Thanks for all the deeds,It lifts me far beyond those creeds.

I‘ll be miss‘n You,So sad but true.I might droppin a clue,But someday I‘ll find You.

From the symphony of sunlightbedazzled in the rumora gossip falls on the North Polelike a longitude of adventurewith no rain forecastthe yellow bike goes screamingpast the hilly roadchasing an avalanche of embargoin the ship of a flower less empire.

I set out observant, to find myselfBeyond the dogmatic sea Headstrong,sober I flew the vicious shoreAngelic hope,guiding meI felt the antagonistic skepticCall me from behind a cloudThe voice burned, irrational, to the corePassion no longer allowedI lost all pretty before i hit groundLove and devotion tossed in windFor new freedom I had foundI will take this flight againWith her spirit, faultless, constantI breathe I call for her and she still hearsTrue devotion never leavesAnd grows throughout the years.

The moon, oh how it shinesHow it reflects my breath,My breath that is slipping-That of which like my love, And I can‘t wait,Can‘t wait for death to take,To take my soul, to release me,To release me from this pain, the pain of life.The moon, it calls, it calls my name and it says;

„Death is calling, asking...

Do you want to play?“

Let’s take off our faces tonight,Remove the layers of skin,That make us so uptight.Stand before me; wear nothing but flesh,Look wounded, every detail of your inner being exposed,Let me see right through to your core,Muscles, veins, organs, all that looks raw.Remove all that is tainted by this world,That skin, the cloth of prejudice and pain,That voice, conformed to complain.Let me admire your simple being,Without voice or skin,For all that is naked,I see with fair eyes,A just equality if only for one night.
