"Good Hours" by Robert Frost
I had for my winter evening walk—
No one at all with whom to talk,
But I had the cottages in a row
Up to their shining eyes in snow.

And I thought I had the folk within:
I had the sound of a violin;
I had a glimpse through curtain laces
Of youthful forms and youthful faces.

I had such company outward bound.
I went till there were no cottages found.
I turned and repented, but coming back
I saw no window but that was black.

Over the snow my creaking feet
Disturbed the slumbering village street
Like profanation, by your leave,
At ten o’clock of a winter eve.

Twinkle twinkle little star.
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high.
Like a diamond in the sky.

LOVERS TRICKS

Close your eyes let's meditate
About getting sense
If you can afford the common one
You'll at least be better than a fool.

Love begins with praises
All its singers with melodious tones
With one conductor or director
dictating the flow...

Dedication to its practice is willingly
Because of the faithful teacher
If you arrive late
punishment is sure no matter your size

Then began choir directors favorite
The most perfect and Un-turchable element
That sings at will and sometimes skips practice
After all, if not him/her,
No one does it better.

Then comes,
The subtle imposition of his/her will
Dragging attention to his/herself in disguise
With polished stubbornness,
Aiming to achieve his/her set goal

What if there's a speed bump?

They either destroy it and have their ways
Or
Their agenda become trash.

Some with ego and ironic words,
If you're not in a hurry,
Why do you complain that the bike is slow?
Why acting heard to get?
Don't you know it's a game plan?
To push your opinion to thrive harder
Though, in disguise,

just to achieve your aim.

Lovers tricks
Tricks...

...and she Said
Hold me dearly,
Kiss Me gently
Then I'll sleep slowly
On my bed, peacefully.

My treasure 🌻

Time will tell,
If my thoughts are real
Then I'll ring the bell
And create a scene

I'll proclaim your goodness to all men
Your friends will seek thy fame
As for your chastity I'll make a bost
For in thee all natures goodness lives

If Edison was great,
And Shakespeare wise
If there be any so great on earth
In wit you pass them all

Your beauty will never be forgotten by history,
You're so beautiful that rose become trash
If I'll live many-longer years
Your smile is enough to keep me healthy

So
Dear heavens best
Your kind is rare
I guess heaven must have lost an angel the day you were born
Because my love for you is more than the love of ten thousand brothers put together.

You're my treasure,
My treasure,
Treasure 🌻.

MY SOLO-LYRICS

Lord have mercy
For I've sinned
Yeah!
I've lost it
I mean all

For hibiscus is my all
My unforgettable
My priceless
My silver
My gold
And my world

So,
Dear Lord
I'm swallowed by this sea
And my thoughts no peace
For I've missed my jewel
My priceless hibiscus

By your mercy,
Please!
Send your Angel
That thy may say my sorry
After it all,
Help my will

So...
Help me Lord.
