Like a bottle of spice
Take me up
Shake shake
Till you get it right
I can be anything you desire
Salt, Pepper, as long as it is spice.
RISE
I seem to have lost my words during this time
As I watch my friend going through so much pain
I want to run by their side
Let them know that it will get better
But how do you make a promise for a future
That looks so dark and bleak?
Their heart crushed into a thousand pieces
Head hanging so low
Body feeling trodden and downcast
I carry your pain.
How can I elevate your spirit?
This is pain that is so hard to sing to
Hard to talk through
I watch you walk through the fire
Almost helpless ,as this is the only way out
I promise to stand by your side
To laugh with you when ready
To watch the sun and feel the rays on our faces once again
With its promise of a brighter day
I will hold your hand
We shall overcome Day by day
Together, we rise.
TOO HURT TO SEE
He lay me down easy
Now I see it
Threw tantrums on deaf ears
Poured my heart out to a cold heart
Was too hurt to see it
Even after the promises
Whispered between us
As we ruffled up the sheets
Laid our skin bare to each other.
Was too hurt to see it
The things that made me laugh
Stopped being funny
We lost the beat between us
His thoughts slowly faded away
His touch that sent chills down my spine
No longer yearned
Was too hurt to see it
Looked me straight in the eye
Pierced straight to my heart
He will always have my back
I chuckle
Was too hurt to see it
He saw my weaknesses
Slowly fit himself within the crevices
Made me believe that just maybe
Sigh !! I fumbled with words
Struggled to piece everything back together
Been down this path before
Was too hurt to see it.
BEAUTIFUL HUMAN
Beautiful human
Oi !, this creation on earth
Lie while they look at you ,straight up into your face
How they believe they know it all
Massage your ego, while they stab you in the back
Sing praises to you,
Of all the beautiful deeds, you have lavished this world with
While they trash your name behind the scenes
I have seen and heard
Ooh! this human whom I wonder where to place
You are such a beautiful creature
Yet so rotten inside
It is the truth; we have just refused to accept
I see you for who you are
My mantra;
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever helps you sleep at night
Think
Don’t fight me with your personal demons
Don’t judge me with your own truth
Carry your own cross
Harsh words seethe out of your mouth
Darkness oozes out of your heart
Corrupted thoughts out of your mind
The world sees your fears
The world sees your insecurities
The world sees your evil
Hiding behind your big family names
Hiding behind your achievements
Hiding behind material wealth
At the end, we all end up six feet under
The same that you despise, shall wash your cold body
Dress it up with all that money can buy
Yes, they will whisper in the darkness about how horrible you were
You curse your own offspring
Generations to come fight to uphold your name
Try to clear your name in the books of history
The stain too hard to wash away
It was all in your control
Think before you leap
Watch the words that come out of your mouth
Little Dove
Little dove
You have left me too soon
We had just made plans
Do you remember??
I have been looking for you earnestly
I try to find you in the many faces staring at me
The voices in the wind
Why little dove?
They say nasty things about you
They have now become the authors of your life
They forget they know nothing
They pen down your sins
Like an executioner who only sees the last breath
All hogwash
Their voices above everyone else in the room
All hogwash
Little dove
Watch over me
Help me contain their words
They break me into little pieces
It’s like walking on top of shattered glass.
They mention your name
I start panting
My heart aches
Rest easy little dove
I will hold onto the beautiful memories
I will keep your name safe
Close to my heart
Little dove
Watch over the keep
Fly over the horizon
Let my tears slip down
As water does on the wings of the bird
In the summer rain
Ease the pain within
Fly little dove
Watch over me
Us
As I lay down my head to sleep
I will think of you
I will think of us
The unsaid promises
The unseen gestures between us
The unexpected desires
Ungodly thoughts that have crossed my mind
I chuckle
This is our world
Promises
I know what you want to hear
But my heart will not let me
Crushed and dumped down the drain
The feeling is not good at all
I have cried myself out
Asked myself why
Answers unable to find.
I see you radiate before my eyes
I feel the warmth of your heart
The honey in your words
All I ask,is that you give me time
Promises I cannot give
My timing feels like an eon
All I ask is you accept what I give
I know I’m not perfect
I know you want more
All I need you to do
Is love me for who I am.
Help
Can’t control the tears
My heart is racing
I need to let go
The world is spinning all around me
I cannot breathe
Can’t get a hold of anything
The walls are slowly crushing in
Just like the sand in the desert
So does the world escape me in between my fingers
Yours
Love me like you have never loved before,
Hold me and don’t let go
Let me shine under your wing
Be that light that sparkles around you
They watch me with envy
Wish to be me
You have showered me with your love
Handled me like the gem that I am
Share a language
That only we understand
I get warm inside just thinking about you
Chuckles fill me up
As I wink at you within the crowd
I blush
I heat up
I hold my head up high
You never break that gaze you have upon me
You know I’m yours
You claim it
I know you always got me
No matter what
I’m yours
Life,Love,Laughter
