Immigrant Song
Together they come
from the land of the night
where the stars can't shine
where no birds take flight
Together they run
towards an outreached hand
with a promise of a life
with no motives or plans
Together they dance
with joy to the skies
to relish in their faith
to bring smiles to their eyes
Together they sleep
as their dreams come alive
with hopeful futures
with legacies that thrive
Together they suffer
to the tune of hard labor
when their hopes are not met
when their dreams begin to waver
Yet they manage day to day
for with their families, they are together
for a fortune one day
till that day becomes forever.
Taking Flight
A bird does not worry
When he will next eat
An instinct of faith
Helps him to spread his wings
The outcome it not always clear
Weather the worm is caught
Depends on taking flight
Without the risk the chance is none
But in taking the chance
There is some
Some hope that the result
We hope to see
May actually exist
At his feet
There's always a chance the worm
Wiggles Away
But without trying
A bird can't experience life
Then what is the point
For him to take flight

You and Me
Together, I thought we can prove them wrong.
Together, I believed we were strong.
Together, I felt we were meant to be.
Together, against the world, it was you and me.
Together, I mourn that you said goodbye.
Together, thinking of you and wipe the tears in my eye.
Together, I am sad it will be never.
Together no more as you’re out of my life forever.
Missing You
I miss you,
Even though I destroyed everything.
I miss you,
Even though you hate me now.
I miss you,
Even though everyone is telling you to forget me.
I miss you,
Even though I wrote those hurtful words.
I miss you,
Even though I said I did not.
I miss you,
Even though we can't fix this, I hope you are thinking "I miss you, too."
Sometimes I Return
“I miss you,” is always first, whispered
and the night’s coolness carries far
accompanying sounds; soft footsteps, my own,
a luring fountain, a bus, a car
I come back every now and then
to the places we would share
Not because I can’t move on
but to remember that kind of care
There’s something about a man
when the truest love has touched his heart
and I know I’ll never be the same again
as if written in stars I can’t quite chart
The streets, some nights, are cold and distant
other nights, it’s just my wish to walk unseen
for I’m not new to its ways and games
I just hate morning memories unclean
Not often do I visit pride, you see
but I come bearing gifts those days
and the space inside is large and generous
beyond the walls, post execution stays
Yes, sometimes I return to our places
because the visions come in clear
and the emptiness is left behind
This, these, the places where we’re near
When I see your smile my night is made
until next, whatever may now pursue
for real time will always be my nemisis
unless I hear your, “I miss you, too.”
A Change of Heart
I miss you.
Is the only thing
I needed from you.
At the very beginning
When we were apart.
I could have a jump of joy.
Overflowing emotions ,
That I will throw myself
Once again in your heart.
As I am in my clouded state.
Years passes by,
Life goes on,
People change,
So does the heart,
To live a fresh start.
Saying now the magic words,
Is not magical at all.
I am so full of life without you.
That I can not say anymore,
I miss you too.
