Breaking Point

I can tell just by looking in your eyes
The inner built up resentment, hate and despise
Have taken over the feelings you had for me
And now you're telling me that I should leave you be
Well if you really want me to set you free
Well I.m afraid it can't happen, see I.m in love with thee
So let us both work through our differences
And you'll see further obstacles will be utter bliss
So tell me right now because I really need to know
Do you want to break the bond that unites our lost souls

A Short Dark Phase (The Lost Cause)

My soul in limbo in a world of darkness
Seeking vengeance in the land of the heartless
Followed by pestilent spirits of the underworld
Lacking sleep, lay awake, body in a curl
A walking victim, my soul has been captured
My mindstate in turmoil, is the demons' rapture
The nightmare I live in worse than I envisioned
The hellhole gets deeper into my lost mission

Mother

You watch over me, your first son, whom you love more than life
For me you sweat from your brow, through your struggles and your strife
And nothing I can show to you, not even for myself
Avoiding the truth of life in the end we shall meet death
I think of you and my heart melts from all the hell I raise
My spirit humbled, contrary to all the rage i praise
And debt accumulates, in it's abundance owed to you
For all the sadness and the pain that I have put you through

A Subconcious Vision

Struggle, my luggage that I take wherever I go
My back is broken, beaten, the wounds on it do show
my eyes are weary from the sins that they have both been shown
My brain is oblivious to friends and family I've known

You walk alone with what is left of what was once precious
A broken soul, in need of mend, wounds inflicted vicious
But you shine to me like the sun through all oblivious pain
And in my heart I know that once more supreme you shall reign

We stand by the seashore, watching the sun rest in the west
Our bandaged souls healing, slow beating hearts inside our chests
The memories of pain endured reduced now to our feet
We walk away from the place where never again we'll meet


(For The Many Precious Lives Lost In The Slave Trade)

Star

A dying star eager to shine
A treasure once lost, found and mine
Another day of abundance
Outshine the sun, this is the chance
Filled with readyness, bound by chains
Long to be free, to once more reign
Through toil and despair brought by day
Till time to shine a world away

Sleepless Nights

I've spent the last few days walking in my dreams
Asleep in darkness, wallowing away in my sins
Unsure of who I am or what I'll ever be
So lost inside the world, now I know no peace

My sins are weighing down on me, my eyes are weary
I feel like all hope for my soul is dead and buried
My soul is empty so no words are uttered
So cold and silent like a corpse in the gutter

So many sleepless nights with so many questions
So many heavy naps with so many visions
My space is a den that is filled with demons
And only when I search my soul is when I see them

The past few days are only battles lost to my weakness
And hence my nights are getting darker, laying still,sleepless
As traffic flows inside my mind, the unanswered qustions
Staring at the figure of grace, while it's hand beckons

Your Mind, Your World

Let me come inside of you
Allow me to delve deep into your inner space
I want to explore you
So open up for me, and let me into you
Let me fill your vacant space with my love
I want you to feel me, as I travel into your darkest areas
And shed light into your world
I want to know you, everything about you, inside you
So let me ease inside you, and feel you
Let us connect as one, let me set you free
Let me into your mind
Let me share your world...

Dreaming Of You

As I sit alone on the bus
I just zone out and think of us
Imagining we were in love
No long distances between us
I try to visualize your face
Then I try to capture the place
Layed down together on the grass
As clouds in the sky slowly pass

Then we escape amongst the stars
Into the sky we soar , so far
We leave this earth, create our world
For here, there is nothing for us
Sometimes, alone, I think of us
On my long journeys on the bus
Wishing all my dreams would come true
So one day I could be with you

The Road of Life: Junction 26

I learnt today I am a man
Coming to terms and understand
My childhood days are too far gone
But they've made me what I've become

I saw you yesterday, we talked
We reflected on memories
Missing the world we thought we knew
Then far apart we lived, and grew

Today we are, as men, we talk
Exchange ideas, dreams as we walk
On that long narrow, winding road
To our future we slowly mould

In fifty years we shall be gone
Our missions here complete and done
Our seeds, feeling the life we felt
Shall meet up here, where once we met

Stay Or Go

Let me know where I should be
Away from you or close to thee
Tell me, should I walk away
Or say you want me to stay

I can not bear the pain no more
I don't know what I'm living for
My heart is aching for your love
My broken heart is all I've got

Free me, please, from all my woes
Tell me, should I stay or go
For if I'm to walk out the door
Know that my heart is always yours

My Muse

I am losing my muse...:-(

I feel dead inside, I can't feel the vibe.
I've been trying to get it, but I can't. Hence, the lack of poetry recently.

I'm not happy...

Let Me Think

Alone in my castle I ponder and wonder on nature
The depths of my mind I explore and evolve on my culture
If you're unwilling to enter, experience the feeling
The door is wide open, remember to shut while you're leaving
