For all those tender at heart,
Who forgive at ease,
Who gives out smiles on lease,
Lend me a smile, I promise,
I will payback with interest,
For all those who are glad
to be blessed,
Pray for me to your God, whatever
the name be,
For those who see beyond
the color and the skin,
Ask my name and I will
take you to my home,
For those who take struggle in their stride,
and fight bravely,
Give me some of that too,
I will share it gladly,
For all those living young,
living like a child, still carefree,
Give me a moment, I can
runaway to the world of my own,
Where I know nobody other
than the people from my home,
Where the sky is blue as I like it,
and Sun warms my senses,
where the smiles of strangers
leaves my soul replenished,
Where the oceans seem empty
compared to the hearts of my people,
They will teach you how to live,
If I ever forget,
I told where I wanna go,
So now will you take me
to a place like this*

Do Knot Untie
So much to do
so little time,
So much to say
so few words,
Or so I say
you can see my wrists
I feel your pain,
Close your eyes,
I can read your mind,
this puzzled breath,
we long to solve,
this ancient potion
we want to dissolve,
what is the purpose?
Did I fly 7 seas,
just to see my mother cry,
Or the joy on her face
when I see her again,
So many questions,
if someone could answer,
Will someone descend,
when the blue skies open?
Or will this hope like broken,
Is this the Pandora's Box
or a knot tied too tight*
so little time,
So much to say
so few words,
Or so I say
you can see my wrists

You Liar!
if ever the pain gets too much to bear
and for some reason I m not there
give me a call and I shall share,
I will let my back pack be covered by sand
carry your burden, walk hand in hand,
I only do for you what you do for me,
I m such a liar,
Everything I do for you is not enough,
and it doesn't mean much
you say I m a liar,
but time will prove,
you will be left speechless
with nothing to say!
and for some reason I m not there

Leave me alone
The itch was so bad
I scratched till I bled,
I cut so deep,
the whole floor was red,
But still alone I stand,
Leave me alone is what I meant,
Skies are dark n gloomy,
But when I m holdin this many
calibres I m moody*
I scratched till I bled,
I cut so deep,

But still alone I stand,
Leave me alone is what I meant,
Skies are dark n gloomy,
But when I m holdin this many
calibres I m moody*
Only when I m alone
Staring into nothing
my thoughts wander far and wide,
should I stay there or come back?
I can't decide
The rainbow seems pale
and there r only shades of black,
all this anger seems to be of no avail,
hold your breath make a wish for me,
I feel so lonely........

Nevermind
You took me for granted,
You spilled my drink,
YOu didn't even spare time to think,
I knew this would end,
and you thought every broken heart could mend,
I wrote your name on my heart,
now just to forget you I leave it scared,
may be you thought you just wasted time,
I can't really say, I m fine
but then again,
nevermind*

Trangress
I m dehydrated,
But you will hate it,
If I made it
I m drawing pictures at home,
When I m alone,
Trying to serenade,
Sipping Lemonade,
But it wasn't the venom, Wait!!!
that left the bitter taste in my mouth,
But you left as soon as you knew what I m about,
you went to Amazon and brought a few clouds,
It rained all day, you didn't even hear me murmur or shout,
World Wide Suicide couldn't bring us close enough,
I m the descendant of the Sun, I always had it rough,
But the righteous shall not be forsaken,
Coz I find inspiration in Him,
and this scripture is a known weapon*

Wrath
Should I slit my wrist?
Flood the city or Should I paint this town red?
or should I color the barren walls
with my words of graffiti,
Or should I go back
start with my own city,
In the land of the Gods
its hard to find pity,
Flood the city or Should I paint this town red?

Or should I go back
start with my own city,

State of mind .......to be continued
One word can make us all feel connected,
As if Christ resurrected,
How far should I go b4 I can't turn back
Should I just give it all up and run back,
Give me back my best years,
The "take in the chest" years,
I like my grass dry, no greener pastures,
Let me identify the bastards.........

Versus to be added
Should I grab my crucifix tight in these dark ages,
Or should I blast them all, fill up these pages,
My anger rages on,
The page is torn,
There is a cyclone in my mind,
You might go there and find,
Demons on a leash,
Freedom of speech,
Women on a wish,
Crimson and sweet,
Wisdom of discreet,
Theres so much I want to do
But so little time,
My heart is already broken,
Why you tryna fiddle mine?
Leave me alone, Coz if I rebel,
You wouldn't like it,
Strip you all off your Nikes,
So called ryderz strap you on your bike seats,
I m supposed to be nice kid,
My last name ain't Shakur,
But me against the world
Now thats more like it*

I respire,
for you to conspire,
get higher,
only way to be flyer?
admire, the ways of the man
need to vest to take this gunfire,
aspire, for everything you wished for,
coz when you are gone they are not gonna miss y'all*

Pseudo Inferno
If the night seems long,
and the road seems hard,
Just open your eyez and day shall begin,
Stop right there and start living,
the sky shall be blue,
When theres nothing left to prove,
Look at the performer when the crowd wouldn't move,
Wanted to write something long but its only a line you drew,
Look back at your life how you were grown,
What change have you made on your own,
just wasted oxygen coz it was free,
Gave your life away but it wasn't me,
you pushed me to the edge, and your hand slipped,
NOw I shouldn't be so disrespectful I should be tight lipped,
Now can I be responsible for what my mind did,
mind over matter, many friends scatter,
so many dreams shatter,
Now I m one step closer to nirvana,
I love it all, Just hate the manner*

Solicitude
Wisdom is relative,
but do i have to do the imperative,
If God sends his angels,
Will we still be strangers?
Show me a star to meet somebody in a manger,
just going would be enough, No gifts needed,
I found bliss when I was defeated,
coz the demons on my shoulders were
meant to be greeted,
I cut their wings off, I found 'em seated,
I don't need to run away,
I stand and stare at the sun today*

Wishful Thinking
I know I shouldn't see you each day,
but I can't help myself I have to see you each day,
all my paths lead to you,
who else would I talk to,
If it wasn't for you,
But its only time that I sacrifice,
Let me get lost in your eyez,
May be the only place I would find peace,
Give you everything you want is my wish,
But all good things come to an end,
No matter what happens just be a friend,
You will be there is what I m hoping,
but we share a bond that is not to be broken*

Labyrinth
i m the labyrinth,
you can't battle me,
the most you can do is rattle me,
i m that wind that can't settle quick,
i got demons on my both shoulders,
my thoughts are like posters,
posters of focus,
y'all fail to notice,
coz these posters are in a dark alleys of the inner city,
only this mirror filthy,
it will take a genocide to kill me,
feel me*

The day that is today
Today you can tell me what you want 2 say,
the moment that is now,
the moment that is proud,
tomorrow isn't a promise,
It will pass by and I wouldn't notice,
the day that is today,
i can't say tomorrow will be a new day,
nobody has seen the day that is to come,
live today, coz it will not return,
today will help us to become,
today will hold us strong, tomorrow will weaker,
today is the confidant, tomorrow is indifferent,
can't say see you tomorrow coz if i pass away,
you will say i was with him just yesterday,
can i say love you again,
coz tomorrow i might not feel the same,
can i spit out my deepest desire,
i don't know what the day to come will require,
the day that is today,
the moment that is now,
let me live my life today
the moment that is now,
the moment that is proud,
tomorrow isn't a promise,
It will pass by and I wouldn't notice,

Ride the Rocket
Life is like riding the subway,
first you wait for the train to come,
coz you just missed one,
the phone doesn't work,
and worst still the strangers surround you,
But then you notice a beautiful face,
And you are thankful for God's grace,
And that you got late,
You come out of the tunnel,
its raining outside,
You praise the Lord,
Coz you don't have to walk outside,
But then comes the stop,
And you wonder if this is the stop
you are supposed to get off,
the darkness welcomes you,
And you hope, light at the end of the tunnel
awaits you,
frowns n the smiles force you to stare,
But do you really care?
just then you try to read the map,
trying to figure out if you are on the right track,
music gives you company,
when theres nothing to do,
but then comes the time to change,
Here comes, Yonge and Bloor*

Rising
Sky's fold,
I die cold,
You take away everything I strive for,
my dreams are like a leaf in a river,
its banks are rough, and I stare like beaver,
Waters ain't receding let me take a breather,
But I was born to be a winner,
I find inspiration in all the failure,
its 1492 and I am a sailor,
I earn more than the paper,
All the nights when I was on my knees ain't gonna vapour,
I don't even need to answer the question
who's my saviour?*

Tears suffice
When your eyez
find it hard to sleep,
I m drowning in this
sea so deep,
And you know I want
to change,
But you can't even
recall my name,
As it turns out
it wasn't a dream,
Sea water runneth
over the brim,
my cold stares
are justified,
If I say I like this
I lied,
But I ain't ashamed
to say I cried,
Nobody mourned
when my smile died,
Let me go
to the other side,
Let my feet
touch the summer tide,
I m stronger
than you think,
I know it will be
hard to breathe,
When I am
at this altitude,
But you learn whatever
little oxygen is there can be used,
Let me
reach higher,
I, myself
be my desire*

Something i felt was worth posting
I have found paradox that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt only more love- Mother Teresa
