Insurmountable.
Like ocean, where ships set sail.
Prodigal and free.

I'm here all alone,
remembering the days when
there's just one Christmas.

**iamthe_avatar ©2016

Better is a loving fool,
than a heartless wise man.

**iamthe_avatar ©2016

It is as they say:
The heart was bigger than
it used to be; and the rib
that was taken away
is yet to be found.

**iamthe_avatar ©2017

At
the
cross of suffering
I
lived
because
He
died.

**iamthe_avatar ©2014

Sometimes* in life,
sweet lies are better
than bitter truth.

**iamthe_avatar ©2016

I am weary, I am broken
I am confused, I am wanting
I need You Lord, let Your mercy fall
Hear Your servant in his distress call

Unto you Father, I run and take refuge
You’re a mighty tower in the deluge
Show favor oh Lord to your servant’s call
For he knows You've been good through it all

Chorus:
In my misery I have called on You
In the storm there I found You
You’re waiting on me all along
In Your hands is where I belong

To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul
Hear me oh Jesus, make me whole
To You, O Lord, my rock and fortress
You’re my Savior, my spirit confesses

Repeat Chorus

For I have called on You
And your ears have heard
You turned my wailing into dancing
And my mourning into singing

And now I’ll be praising
‘Cause you have heard me

And now I’ll be praising
‘Cause you have answered me

And now I’ll be praising
Hallelujah! Great is the King!

And now I’ll be praising
Hallelujah! Great is the King!

Words
can bring
life or destruction
—choose the right path.

**iamthe_avatar ©2014

Felt like a
complete stranger
to the streets once
home.

**iamthe_avatar ©2016

She
deserves someone
who is not afraid to be
himself.

**iamthe_avatar ©2016

Evil is the new good;
and truth becomes
hate speech.

**iamthe_avatar ©2017

This
is so random,
but you are so
**** pretty!

**iamthe_avatar ©2016

Like flower,
she sways gracefully
while he's busy
chasing butterflies.

**iamthe_avatar ©2016

The moon shines brightly
as she walks across the sky.
My soul shall follow her,
where'er she will be.

**iamthe_avatar ©2017

Love* and be loved.
Others might say,
it's a mirror.

**iamthe_avatar ©2017

D'you know
that the best thing
about coffee is...

...creamer?

**iamthe_avatar ©2016

Eight, five, four, nine,
one, seven, six,
ten, three,
two.

**iamthe_avatar ©2014

Let's make music* with the
sound of our hearts beating.

**iamthe_avatar ©2017

I would rather die
before your eyes;
if that's the only way
that could stop you
from crying for him.

**iamthe_avatar ©2017

Friends were made out of you and me,
When we sat down under that giant tree,
The true friendship that you gave me,
I’ll cherish it for my lifetime if not for eternity.

My friend, I’m sorry if you think that I don’t see,
And value those simple things you do for me,
But the truth is I always keep them with me,
I say these words to you with all authenticity.

Arigatou Tomodachi! You know how much I love thee,
You are my source of happiness and prosperity,
When I am sad, you’re always there to comfort me,
And likewise, we help each other in times of difficulty.

Friends were made out of you and me,
When we sat down under that giant tree,
The true friendship that you gave me,
I’ll cherish it for my lifetime if not for eternity.

**iamthe_avatar ©2010

What words can I say
to convey
a cliché?

Your words
and ideas

don’t have
anything
to
say

to give me the strength
to carry on

for
the
day.

You’re annoying me,
just please

get out
of
my
way.

**iamthe_avatar ©2009

Is what happens
when you forget
to clean your
mess.

**iamthe_avatar ©2016

The reason
I want to live
this miserable
life–

Again.

**iamthe_avatar ©2016

If I love you more,
will you love me less?

**iamthe_avatar ©2014

The Lord is my Savior,
There’s nothing to deny.

He cleansed away my sins:
He giveth me peace.
He maketh me His son:
He lent me a hand
And put me in His arms.

Yea, though I liveth
In an unholy world,

Thou taught me to live
In a holy way.

For Thou art in heaven,
So shall I be in the day
Of Thy comeback.

Thou maketh a blanket for me
In the coldness of the night.

Thy eyes, they found me
When I was wandering in the wilderness.

Thy never ending mercy and guidance
Shall pour out on me as long as I live

And I will be
with my
Savior
forever.

**iamthe_avatar ©2010

Winter falls
as the
summer breezes,

Hearts burn
as the
fire freezes,

Mockers go quiet
as the
mute teases,

Peace comes in
as the
war ceases.

A day for nephews and a day for nieces,
A time to serve and a time for wishes,

Beasts of the earth and ocean’s fishes,
Alone made by the God who blesses.

They say not one thing
won’t come to last.

Had their faith
on Him fallen so fast?

Did kindess and mercy of God avast?
For human to say all things won’t last?

Rivers explored as
deserts left uncharted,

Desire,
thirst
and hunger
left thwarted,

Who says love and lust
can never be parted?

Who says courage isn’t
for the fainthearted?

Who says all things
come to an end?

Did they not believe that Christ ascend,
From the grave and yet they contend,
That all things will come to an end?

In sin, we received death and pain.
In Him, lifelong eternity is to gain.

He’d come
to wash away our stain,

Trusting in Him
won’t be in vain.

So sing Hallelujah and praise His name!

To all the ends of the earth we proclaim,
Jesus, savior of sinners – of whom I claim,

Death and sin He overcame!

**iamthe_avatar ©2010

Somewhere* along
the past and the present
lies my future.

**iamthe_avatar ©2017

Your love brings me to tears.
How can I ever repay You?
You are like no other.

You’re the God who saves the sinners.
Your love brings
repentance and healing
to the brokenhearted.

No words can describe
the love You’ve shown me.

You see my heart,
a heart
that wants
to proclaim Your name.

I wanna sing this love song to You Father
for you have been gracious and merciful to me.

You were there when I am broken,
You never left me through the pain.

And I now I wanna cry at
Your feet and hug You my Dad!

Your love sees no wrong in me.
Even though I’ve failed you so many times,
still you chose to love me.

And now I wanna sing
to You Father with all of my heart!
I wanna cry to You. Cry to You
and be at peace.

Father, there can never be like You.
No one in this world can do what you did for me.

You have seen me from the
depths of my brokenness.

You have lifted me up to the
heights of Your gloriousness.

And now I wanna sing this love song to You Father.
I wanna sing it with all of my heart.

I just want to pour out my heart to You,
now and for the rest of my life.

Sacrifices
and
offerings
you didn’t
desire.

It’s me you have given your life to.

I just wanna sing it with all of my heart.
I just wanna feel your nearness to me now.

I just wanna sing this
love song for You.

**iamthe_avatar ©2010

Faith,* hope and love
—the greatest of
these is
love.

**iamthe_avatar ©2014

I love
the fact that
I'm in love with you.

I don't know
if there will be
anything
in this reality
that would
make that
untrue.

I love
everything
about you.

Your smile,
it makes me shiver;
I love the wrinkles
on your nose
when you try
to make face at me.

I really miss
looking
at your
serene face.

I love you.
Please don’t
make it hard
for me.

Look at me,
I’m here dying
just to
see you.

Don’t want
another pretty face,
I want nothing else but you.

If in this lifetime,

and I'm sure
there wouldn't be
another one,

fate would grant me
only one opportunity
of having you...

then I won't
let it
slip away.

**iamthe_avatar ©2010

I’m a helpless statue carved by man’s hands
Look at me, from this is where my pedestal stands

Fallen out of the sky, my wings are broken firebrands
Like serene meadows from within, like an angel so tragic lands

I’m an offspring of decadence, my will is shut down
Dressed in another man’s linen, the eyes of someone is my gown

Covered in winter snow, yet my whole world is burning down
How I wish they know, how it feels to wear a thorn-like crown

Look at me,
I’m like star dusts falling from the sky

Can’t you see?
Feel the emptiness in my eye

Waste no time.
By now you should have heard my cry

Knitted wings of liberation,
Fly me there somewhere up high

Stay with me, forget reality, and never ask for more
Immersed in jubilance, your love is what I existed for

Vigorous as lightning as
I’m walking the ocean floor

Like an angel so tragic lands,
Like my faded footsteps on your door

**iamthe_avatar ©2010

Baby* stay with me
just linger here for a while

Maybe
we’ll be together
forever
with a smile

On your face I see
eternity coming to beguile
Me
as if
I’m walking with you
down the aisle

Tell me
how this Payne’s Gray of yours
struck me in the eye

So wonderful
lately I’m in a state of daze
and my face just can deny

Like a bunch of rose petals
falling down from the sky
Straight to the bedlike-cobwebs
where you and I
lie

The strands
of my hair
are filled with your
Payne’s Gray

Let’s watch the moonlight
as it touches the day

Don’t ask why
just sit beside me

come what may

Come what may
your Payne’s Gray

Sleep with me for the night is through
and the day is coming

Loosen your tight
forget about the world
and just think of nothing

Empty your sight
like you don’t want to see
what tomorrow may bring

The daylight-stricken strands of my hair
with your Payne’s Gray shining

**iamthe_avatar ©2010

I still taste your
honey-like-tongue
as if it was
like yesterday.

Feels like
the first time
we kissed
each other
on a
rainy day.

I still dream of you
every night
even
though
we’re through.

Oh, I hate
the feeling that
I still can’t
get over you.

I still feel
your sugar-like-lips;
you let
them
wander
around my body.

I don’t know why
I get so excited
every time
you do it
to me.

I can’t resist
your temptations.

I’m drowning
in my
deepest
emotions.

**iamthe_avatar ©2007

Once I met a stranger on a typical Saturday night,
As I watch the passengers, as my hands are holding tight,
The precious possessions of a wealthy playwright,
This stranger looked at me and asked if I’m alright.

I answered back, bewildered, not looking at his face,
Suddenly, the busy streets became a quiet place,
Those towering skyscrapers all covered now with haze,
It felt like the two of us were left in an empty space.

This stranger gave me this only dear thing he has,
A thick mass of aged manuscripts covered in brass,
“Eat it,” he said, soon it was time for him to leave the bus,
I did not understand his words until I knew who he was.

As I look, I opened by chance to the book of John,
And there I read about God’s only precious Son,
Stranger on earth, laid down his life for the sin of man,
For whom who will believe in Him, salvation will be done.

Bridge:
And as I turned the pages,
I saw the stranger’s love,
For me and for all ages,
To live with him above.

Chorus:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! The stranger was the Christ,
The stranger who gave up his life for my sins,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! The stranger was the Christ,
The stranger who laid down his life for your sins.

I knew right then the stranger was nothing but the Christ,
And to those who believe in Him, salvation was the prize,
I don’t know why He came to me in disguise,
But one thing I’m sure of, I’m saved by the stranger, and the stranger was the Christ.

Repeat Chorus

And we will live with Him above
And we will live with Him above
And we will live with Him above
