If I were a single leaf, up high in an oak tree, I wonder how would I perceive, the things far down below me, From my perch up there, looking out intently far and wide, Wondering whether I would care, for what lies at my side. Below me I see men, briskly walking to and fro, A continuous motion without end; a never-ending flow, Of people always moving, zooming quickly past, - Simply of life and living, passing by so fast. Each one looks so insignificant, like a speck on the sand, But am I really so ignorant, until I mistook their intent, The rage and the push, the burning desire in their eyes - The surge and the rush, to achieve som

A scream, a shout – loud, incessant and insane, Uncertain and in doubt, either love or pain, Rings out and hurt, whoever happens to hear, This cry which sought, somebody who's not here For want to tell, alas, never to attain, The dreams once held, shredded by unyielding rain, Lying in the drains, no longer feeling fear, Although it still retains, for many a year… The anguish and guilt, for what could have been done, Could there be another quilt – a perfect one? That dwells in dreams, a tapestry perfection, A heavenly seam, or devious deception, 'Twas in toil built, a masterpiece by one, Unfortunately killed, never

What can I say, on this very fine day, About this smile on your lips; the joy showing so crisp, Bringing love and joy, to every girl and boy, This smile so easy to give, bringing another smile to receive.

Moving slowly both of us came to light, Both putting on faces, trying to hide, Not knowing, yet seeking 'twas the both of us, Each learning to trust someone in this forsaken universe. Growing up slowly, learning at our own pace, The time had come for each to go our separate ways, But when we parted, the other felt a change, Knowing deep inside that we would meet again. And the sun rises again, it's another day of work, A day to plough and plant the seeds for tomorrow, A day to dream and to forget all one's sorrow, Thus the wheels turn daily, not missing a beat; Until one day we realize something's wrong, something's amiss And som

Pills and doctors are a pain. But this we promise you: After this brief stormy rain, You will feel just Pauleen brand new!

Dimly lit alleys, clouds unseen in the sky, Nothing on the telly, so I looked out at the diamonds up high, Glittering and sparkling, giving out light, That moment so enchanting – that very special night/ Gathering my fishing net, I went out to the sea, On a boat alone I sat, just wanting to be free, I fished and fishes, catching many things in my net, Only to release them, on that night I'll never forget. Suddenly a star fell from above, a shooting star indeed! Brightly flying like a dove, destined that we would meet, This start so innocent, charming and true, Like a beautifully wrapped present, arriving before it was due. Bu

I have felt feelings such Feelings I've never touched before Happiness and sadness in one grasp Fills my heart to my very core I have felt the inexplicableness Of loving one whom you care so much Unbridled joy and time-tinged sadness Hand-in-hand with my heart I have often stumbled lost Grasping to find the correct way But now I know it's not about the path But how you journey each day For each step you take Brings you somewhere You've never yet to partake But it's always been there And the wonder of wisdom Loving and growing up wise One step closer to the kingdom Where lies eternal paradise

Poetry is beautiful For no matters its length It is true As it contains the strength Of what is really you It is all your emotions Penned forever more It is beloved devotion To bring what's in store To fluid rhapsody motion Poetry lets me see myself And lets you see me too Who I am and what I am really I share my life with you Now do you see me inside you?

I am at peace For I know knowledge I have gained That after all suffering I have not suffered in vain

Anger may be passion And passion may be love But anger brings about destruction Of yourself and all whom you love
