Home

After being away from home for sometime, you learn to see 'home' in many different ways. Sometimes it makes you happy, sometimes sad and sometimes both. The emotions that come from missing home is incredible. There were many times in the last few years of my life, I questioned home, whether to go back or to stay. To live it, or to forget it. I had both those emotions so many times and I put pen to paper to express these emotions. I hope you enjoy this new collection about home.

Written just before I left home to do some travels... 

I am a hummingbird, flying
From the Eiffel Towel to the Eye of London,
Feeling my tired mind, 
Slowly, clear and joyful.

I am an athlete, jogging by the One Pillar Pagoda
Then climbing the Great Wall of China;
My heart is whistling like the sound of the flute,
Never feeling exhausted, but blissful.

I am a sailboat, floating
On the calm indigo ocean,
Gazing at Waikiki beach
While tasting the heat of the summer topaz.

I am a firefly, in the heart of twilight,
Circle the Pyramids of Cairo
Enjoying my wonderful moment
And waiting to rest my tired wings.

I am flapping my wings,
As I hover over Sydney Harbour Bridge,
Looking at the shimmering water…
I am thirsty, longing to quench my thirst

As soon as I arrived in London knowing that I was there for awhile, I had so many thoughts about being where I was. I didn't enjoy the March bite in the air. Walking around St. James Park, freezing and this is what came to my mind as I remembered a quote once upon a time. "What you've done becomes the judge of what you're going to do - especially in other people's minds.  When you're traveling, you are what you are right there and then.  People don't have your past to hold against you.  No yesterdays on the road".  ~William Least Heat Moon, Blue Highways

We already left
No going back
to change the past
We're headed down this road
where it leads that’s unknown
Anywhere away from home
We just got out of there
with no time to spare
My life was unfair
And nobody cared
I feel like my life is over
and now I need to start over
Clean slate, no mistakes
No debate on who I hate
This life's going turn around
I've got it all figured out
No cries, no more telling
stupid fucking lies.

Going Home

I've travelled this road a time or two
But I'm still not sure on what to do,
Should I take the road less travelled by
Or should I take the road where buildings lie,
One will take me where I've never been
One will take me where society wins,
I've been to town and dealt with the man
And the government to me is just a big scam,
So what to do is the question asked
and I don't want to go back to the past,
So here I go down the long road home
On this path that has been unknown,
It's path is narrow, dark and lonely
But beyond its gloom it feels so homely,
This is the road that will lead me to success
This is the road that will get rid of this mess,
This mess I call life that has been destroyed
A mess, until now, that has been ignored,
Where this road will take me, I do not know
But I'm going to sit back and take it slow,
Because it's time for my life to start looking up
I'm tired of sitting back and letting it suck,
So my head is up and my feet are churning
And I'll do all I can to keep these wheels turning,
God has put something out for me 
And it seems that all I can see,
Is this long and winding road home
That will lead to my success that remains unknown.
