CHAPTER ONE
LOVE
RUMOR HAS IT
Rumor has it
That you have got a thing for me
That you care
But we both know that
There is no smoke without fire
I know you watch me
Every time I walk by
Without looking
I can feel the smile
I look your way
And you tried to hide
From your blushing eyes
I know you are mine
Your deep brown eyes
And your dazzling white teeth
From your beautiful smile
That is just for me
I wonder if we can be
A perfect you and me
Let’s write a love story
That will last for eternity
Rumor has it
That you have got a thing for me
That you care
But we both know that
There is no …show more content…
Today, you made me a woman full of radiance beauty and grace.
IMAGINE
Imagine:
Boy: You and me, we were walking through the jungle
And a vicious lion appears, with hunger in its eyes
I’ll lay my life to protect you my love
I’ll look into its eyes and declare my love for you
Girl: Do you think that I will stand there and watch you die?
Then my love, you must be insane.
I will kneel in front of the beast and beg it to kill me first
Because even death cannot take you away from me, my love
Imagine:
Boy: You and me, we were trying to climb a mountain
So high, its head is in the clouds,
It’s not easy, but was love ever?
For your love baby, no obstacle is too great.
Girl: Don’t worry baby, I am right here, by your side
I feel your pain. And I’ll be with you all the way,
Guiding you and supporting your weight
For your love baby, I’ll climb the highest mountain.
Imagine
Boy: A love so great, that no force on earth can break it,
No religion, culture, status or difficulty can come between us
Waking up in the arms of the one you love,
Looking in their eyes and thinking
How lucky you are and the world seems right, in every way.

INSPIRATIONAL
IN THE MIND OF A POET
In the mind of a poet
Horses have wings
Birds sing with melodies that rhyme
Angels dance above the clouds
In the mind of a poet
The eyes speak a thousand words
Every heartbeat is a note
Love is a source of life
In the mind of a poet
There is no good or bad
Just happy faces floating about
Lovers speak with their hearts and kiss with their mouths
In the mind of a poet
The moon and the stars whisper to each other
Every sunrise is a verse
And every sunset is a song
FINDING GOD
Tell the person who is looking for God
That beggar on the street
That leper with no feet
That widow with many kids
That madman that stinks
That God is not hiding in the heavens
That orphan with no keeps
That sick person you are afraid to visit
That poor relative you don’t want to associate with
That neighbor you keep ignoring
God is closer than you think
A NIGHT’S PRAYER
In the dead of the night
Not a soul in sight
And the heart is filled with fright
The Jinn come out to play
And the witches go after their prey
All I can do is pray
Oh God of creation
I ask for your protection
Against every bad intention
Be with me throughout the night
Until the morning light
And in Your glory I shall
