I'm Queen of this Land and I want to be Free!

I want to be Free!

I can't open the door
I can't open the screen
I just want to come out
Please, Don't be mean...

I'll keep hiding you see,
Inside my locked house
Please come in and Find me
I feel like a trapped Mouse

Why can't you find me?
I want to be seen
Come in and Find me
I want to be Queen

They know I'm in here
No one will tell
Keep this big secret
Or you'll go straight to Hell

All I can tell you about me, you see
Is that I'm a just woman
And I want to be Free

I'll be Queen of this Land
I'll be Queen of the Sun
I want to be Queen
Queen of all Fun!

I can't make a sound
I can't make a peep
Just look all around
I'm buried quite deep.

Over the hedges and over the trees,
Come in and find me...
Just get on your knees!

Just dig through the dirt and you will see...

I'm waiting for someone
By someone I mean
I'm waiting for You
To set me Free!  

Angels, Their Wings on so High!

Angels…Their Wings on so high!
By Sharon S. Joag

Angels, Their Wings on so high!

We Stop, and We Watch

As Their Feathers go by...

What are we to do 

With Angels so true?

We Watch and We Learn

Until They return.

Where can we find these angels?

In the souls of little girls, With big long curls?

Or do they live in little boys

While they play with their toys?

These angels we are after... 

Are they in our laughter?

Are they so very near

That we don't see them or hear?

There are so many faces.. 

Am I looking in all the right places?

Find them Where you least expect, they say...

Are they hiding in my cats as they play?

As I sit and I ponder...

My mind starts to wander..

Oh My! Oh My! Why Couldn't I see?

Haven't you ever thought of this Possibility?

A little whisper in your ear

That beautiful angel is so near

That voice that says very quietly

"There's an angel hiding inside of ME!"

"That Man" By Lal

He loved with his Heart
From the very start
He always knew
When I was feeling Blue
If I ever broke a glass
He was never ever crass.

He always said to Me
Loud as can ever Be
That it was just an accident
He would smile gently at me.
Telling me he loved me anyway
Even though I was not his perfect little girl today.

Once late at night
When there was hardly any light
I woke up from my sleep
And I found him waiting.
I thought he was waiting...waiting for me
The stars at night were like a sea
A sea of light dancing happi--ly

I will never forget that day
It is in my heart to stay.
The day of chatting through the night
Waiting for the sun to bring in the light.

I didn't want that night to end
But all I can do now is send
My sweet thoughts to him
On the other end.

He lives so far
Its hard for me to see him everyday
But I want him to know
That a day will never go
Without a thoought of that Man
That Man who makes my heart so Glad
Glad that I can call him my Dad...

"Smelly Smelly Feet"

Inspired by Manishi

My Smelly, Smelly Feet
To me the smell Quite Sweet

But my cousin Nelly
She thinks they're quite Smelly

Back from work I walk through my Door
Flinging my shoes right on the Floor.

Time has come to take them Off
And start to remove each wet Sock

My socks are so Wet
Since my feet really really Sweat

Socks I have worn all Day
Their smell that has nestled in to Stay

I shutter at the Thought
Of removing even One Sock

In truth, I fear my cousin Nelly
She will scream, "Smelly, Smelly"

As I crouched on the floor to take off my Sock
I stumbled on a small little Rock

My feet flew in the Air
And I caught my cousin Nelly's Glare

I did not even Realize
I could not even Fantasize

That my foot would Land
On a place so Unplanned

This unfortunate Place
Was my cousin Nelly's Face

My smelly, smelly Feet
To me they smell quite Sweet.

My poor cousin Nelly
She screamed, "Smelly, Smelly"

At first I saw her startled Stare
Then I caught that aweful Glare

As she breathed in the air so Taint
Her eyes rolled up and she did Faint

My poor cousin Nelly
She passed out with my feet so Smelly

How can it be my Feet?
To me they smell so Sweet!

"My Bleeding Heart"

Inspired by a friend...
 

My Bleeding Heart in Unable to See
What is standing right in Front of Me.

What can I do
To get through to you?

Can’t you see?
I’m in perfect Misery!

But I love you, I do!
Why can’t I get through to you?

I want you to go,
And stop knocking at my door.

Please try and feel
My strong arms will create a seal.

How can I trust?
What if this is just lust?

You were hurt in the past..
But we will surely last!

What makes you so sure?
You look so demure.

I know we will last!
Just forget the Past!

My bleeding heart is unable to see
What is standing right in front of me.

How can I start to see
Without a healed heart that can just BE. 

"Late"

I come home so Late
Why is this in my Fate?

I want to be Near
But my Work is my Fear.

I get on the Train
And walk in the Rain

An hour and a Half
Some think that's a Laugh

Three hours every day
What can I say?

Sometimes three becomes four
And she waits, the one I adore.

I want to be there
I know its not Fair

What can I do
To stop feeling Blue?

I am so tired
When I should be Wired

I come home to see
My dear sweet Melody

We only have one hour to spend
Before I get a call from a Friend

And still she waits...
Even if I am very Late
Why is this in my Fate?

"Language of the Trees" by Sharon Joag

The Strong Winds you See,
Allow the Branches to Wave
Strangely at Me.
Are they asking me to Play?
Or Just Bidding me "Good Day"?

I wish I could ask this Strange land,
But this is a Tough task to Understand-

The Language of the Trees...
The Secret's in the Breeze

"Rock of Salt"

The only Rock which we can Eat

Is used to cure all kinds of meat.

Crushed to a Powder

And tossed in Chowder-

It makes our food so bright and sweet,

Even when we are quick to eat!

Can we really eat a Rock?

Oh yes - its quite a Shock!

This rock, you see, is made of salt -

Without it, life would come to a halt.

We always crave just a bit more...

Its only Nature, that's for sure!

"Why are there People Every Where?"

Inspired by Sonal...

Why am I Here?

Who is that There?

Why are these people Everywhere?

Strange faces- I can't tell.

I Listen for the Voice I Know so Well.

I Breathe in the Air, Searching for her Smell.

Who is that There?

I am Unaware.

All I can do is Squint and Stare.

Why do they throw me

Up in the sky?

Do they really think I can Fly?

Why are there People Every Where?

I need to eat and move my Feet,

So I can feel like I'm complete.

I feel the best

When I am at rest-

Where I belong-

At her chest.

"Seeds of Tomorrow"

God, Please give me the peace to be Free.

To be Free of all this Misery.

When will all of this End?

When will our hearts begin to Mend?

When will I Know?

When I can Sow

The Seeds of Tomorrow-

The Seeds without Sorrow?

"DARKNESS"

Darkness hides in the Shadows...
Like a Predator He approaches
Ready to Pounce on his Prey.

He creates a Deafening Silence.
From it No Mortal Can Escape
Until the Sun Cometh at Dawn...

"SWEAT"

As the beads of salt fell from his angry brow,

He charged ahead - bound to one vow.

A vow that he would charge ahead,

Though none could truly comprehend

The fierce voice rising from within,

Compelling him to fight- to win.

How could he ignore his fate,

That led him to this final state?

To regain the love he he's lost before,

He must save his gang once more.

Win he must- this angry War,

So Peace may slowly drift ashore.

And wash away those salty beads,

Leaving only the stillness he so needs.

"The Wait"

Do you ever really remark

On that Little Heart waiting after dark?

When Shadows stretch and stars appear,

A little animal knows you're near.

A small ball of fur with eyes so bright,

She waits by the window, night after night.

She pads through halls with tiny feet,

Sniffing the air for your scent so sweet.

Her ears perk up - could that be the car?

She listens closely from afar.

Hour after hour, she guards her space,

Dreaming of your smiling face.

Her heart begins to dance and spark,

When wheels roll home through the dark.

Then - Oh Joy! - the door swings wide!

She wiggles and wags from side to side.

Round and round she twirls and barks,

A song of love that lights the dark.

Do you ever really remark

On that little heart that waits for you

After dark?

"Pressure"

The Pressure builds;

Inside, it starts to grow -

Could I imagine

Letting all that Pressure go?

What would they think

Sitting right next to me?

Could they connect the link -

The silent blast which set me free?!
