Dear dream, dear my dream, keep hope alive
For most times you wonder if you'll really survive,
You worry all the time if really the future is bright
Why do you worry yet the far end is white
...
As evening approaches,
echoes of distant music rise.
Boys and girls hurry through the evening chores,
meals finished early
...
We stood as pillars, side by side,
To lead the flock and seek the light,
Tenure finished, hearts untied
From the duties of the holy fight.
...
When I entered this pub,
Everything was messy,
Ladies here appeared ill mannered
And their faces old for the job.
...
Fury of troubles throws endless punches.
Innumerable bills and losses jab the ribs.
Grit becomes gloves, holding me upright.
Hope is the guard I refuse to drop.
...
Lit streets whisper softly,
Amid shadows where hearts meet.
Tender words mend the silence,
Echoes of love in each beat.
...
None escapes the final call
Our fate is shared by all
Tears may fall, but
Hearts will heal with time.
...
Tina listen to me,
My heart spoke in silent plea,
When you never knew my eyes,
Dreams of you lit up my skies.
...
Time is a thief, it steals away,
The nights we shared, now turned to clay,
...
Two men in a Prado, tinted and proud,
Cut through the jam, defiant and loud.
Engines roar like thunder's decree,
Breaking the law for the world to see.
...
When I saw you approach,
My heart skipped a beat.
Lost in memories of olden days
Almost a decade when you left my gaze
...
Money love, oh how it shines,
A love so bright, it never declines.
Together we make such a pair,
Our bond is strong, beyond repair.
...
In this life, we are travelers,
and life itself is the journey.
Our living condition
is only the mode of travel.
...
Once, love hovered between us—
a quiet flame that learned to glow
but never learned to burn.
We stood close to beginning,
...
In the middle of the chaos,
when the world begins to roar,
She is the quiet sanctuary,
the peace within my core.
...
You never knew how hard I looked for you,
How I never slept just to think of you
And if I slept I always dreamt of you
How I never thought of losing you
...
JUST LIKE SWEETS
Soft as melted dreams, you rest on my tongue — my sweetest sin.
Words from you dissolve like chocolate against the soul.
Even your silence is candied, slow and rich with meaning.
...
Time bows to none, not even me,
It bends no knee, grants no plea.
Its hands are firm, its rule complete,
A master whose reign none can defeat.
...
There was a girl in the marketplace
where I sold woods.
I didn't know where she came from—
her father and mother, not as well.
...

Dear Dream Don't Die
Dear dream, dear my dream, keep hope alive
For most times you wonder if you'll really survive,
You worry all the time if really the future is bright
Why do you worry yet the far end is white
The tall men around us have seen the light
You keep questioning what am still doing here
As if everyone has the future so near
Am wasting your time but forgive me my dear
The journey is so rough that I must change the gear
Patience pays, I think the wise men were clear
Why complaining yet you keep changing the game
If I don't achieve you are the victim of blame
From pilot, doctor, lawyer to journalist, you're wavy like a flame
Then teaching, preaching and music are you looking for fame?
Please choose your side before you're too hard to tame.
Please just wait for me to sharpen my wedge
If am not well prepared then I will not manage
I'll hoover with you to the end of my age
Then you'll pain my mind as though you revenge
Asking what I did in my younger age.
Lupita said that all dreams are valid.
This is a truth both bold and so candid
But for you the dreamer, you must be so rigid
Adding hope to patience will not be stupid
Please maintain your measures as if fighting covid.

At last I remember that dreams don't expire
It's only we the dreamers who can retire
Patience, hope and planning is all you require
To make up your woods and to set it afire
For all fruits of the future will come from the prior.
Lets achieve our dreams!
You must always be left to turn to the right!
