THE SECRETS OF LIFE

Are embedded within

The lyrical lines of poetry,
Embrace them to unlock
The full power of your inner being.
Then again, art is the most beautiful of lies
Still, always remember
That rules and models,
Destroy genius and art.
Don't allow it!
For it's the only way
To create fiction
That gives us the second chance
Life cruelly denied us.

UNRULY CHILD, OR WORLD?

Born and bred in royalty of its kind
She was raised with an independence
Far beyond your wildest imaginable dream
A life of doing whatever, whenever,
However and with whomever, she never knew
The meaning of No! When it came
To granting her heart's desires
( The true definition of being a free born)
So many a times, she stayed out late
Skipped classes, missed exams,
Answered back to people who's opinions
Contrasted hers, in her opinion, fool hardy views
Yet no one had ever told her she was wrong

Now, thrown in a limbo of rules and regulations

Morals and ethics, that have to be followed
To the letter, so many expectations
To one whom living was the only expectation
So many don'ts, to her -do- world
Are beginning to drown her in their immense darkness
So many punishments, to one whom was never corrected
She feels trapped in a whirling world
A world so different from her own
A world so full of violence and cruelty
In contrast to her own, perfect world
A world where she never had to shed a tear
Either due to hurt, lack or pain
All of which now threaten to break
One whom never had a breaking point

A world of happiness and bliss

Is now threatened by a gathering black cloud
That will indefinitely turn it to a complete nightmare
How does she stop it? Is the one question
That constantly sits just below her subconscious
Her kindred spirit and wild heart
Now feel, like they've been trapped in a cage
And the maze that forms her life
Threatens to darken her soul

She who was so full of life,

So full of love, so full of compassion
Realized this is what it means, to be alive
Being sad, lonely, desperate
She is now one who can't love
One who can't live, one who can't give
A shadow of her former self
A shell of a living human being
With no guide or motivation
No dream or hope, just wishes
For the end to come quickly
Will there be no reprieve for her
From this death sentence, she
Involuntarily applied for?
Only time will tell
As such are the dictates of life

You be the judge, of whether

She is an unruly child,
Or, she lives in an unruly world!

CORRUPTED SOUL
His mother said he was worthless
His father always despised him
Evidenced by constantly belittling him
His brother thought him stupid
His sister, his only silent ally
A confidant and friend in the shadows
His hate, planted in boyhood and
Developed slowly as he got older
A hate so consuming, to anything and everything
Under the yellow sun
For everyone,...but his little sister
He adores her, and dedicated his life
To see to her happiness
Her happiness lay in seeing him succeed
So succeed, he did.

From a life of hand to mouth

To a life of extreme luxuries
Unfortunately for him, the hate had also consumed
His youthful soul. He took in his sister
And denounced the rest of his family
Seeing them languish in poverty
Didn't move a tinge of emotion
Even from deep within his spirit

They cried and begged

Yet he stood his ground, even the servants
Weren't spared his wrath. He whipped
And cursed, and every single day
His heart grew darker, more sinister
Than the vilest evil
Until one day...

She arrived to nurse his little jewel

The jewel that shone for him within his sister
Who'd been taken to bed by the chronic disease
Of the south African forests during a safari
The disease responsible for many a deaths;
Black Water Malaria.
Watching the light in her eyes dwindle

His heart contracted. His hatred turned to anger

And he took it out on his servants, as usual.
She witnessed this, and was furious
She commanded, neither requested nor ask
That he stop his barbaric ways
He looked at her and laughed
No one had ever had the guts to command him
He turned to leave, but the sardonic smile spoke volumes
She stopped him, and gave him conditions:
She'd leave, (a fatal situation for his sister)
If he kept on his evil ways

The smile disappeared as he gave her his word

Later on, alone in his study, he reflected
The incident in his heart, a light shone in his soul
He was filled with admiration,
Then his sister finally healed. The admiration
Turned to love, and made him want
To be a better man, for her,
And every other human being, who had a heart of gold
Just like hers.

His life changed drastically, forgiveness and love

Instead of hate and revenge, now filled his heart
He was happy for the first time in years
And she, felt she had found love.

DEFINED BEAUTY
"You're too preoccupied by beauty
You end up neglecting duty
But don't you realise,
No matter what you visualise,
You'll always be ugly
With those marks ever dryly
On your stupid face?"

"Everything has beauty bit not everyone sees it

You're so busy
Trying to destroy
My youthful soul, because of my imperfection
Yet you forget, the cardinal rule of life
'Everything with perfection
Indefinitely has, an equal amount of imperfection.'
Don't you see, that while you use up energies
To eradicate my iniquities
All you succeed in doing, is expose
Your own imperfections, for the world to view?
The perfect disdain, while the imperfect maintain
Their hearts in glorious rejoice
With those around you too cowardly to point out
Or love you too much to accept
The oceans' full of imperfections
You spit out like poisonous venom
From a ravenous snake, your eyes
Completely blinded from everything
Your heart too proud to be over ruled."

"You speak of imperfection, existing in perfection

Just like quantum capabilities of the brain
Once suggested by an overzealous physicist
Were termed as impossibilities
By a world renowned neurologist
What you speak of, is as blunt a knife
As that my cousin tried to slit
A helpless clock's throat, for Christmas dinner
Only to end up with a slit
Of the main artery in her left hand
My beloved would never lie to me
What you speak of - is the greatest lie."

"'Never say never,' I was once told

Take a look at your long list of enemies
Enemies you've made across your lifetime
And tell me, if the following statement
Is mythical...
'Your worst enemy, was once your best friend'
For that, no technology,
Is needed for verificalogy
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity
Since, artificial intelligence was made to complement
Natural genius. Both complement each other perfectly
But lack of one, causes the other
An incorrectible dangerous handicap."

"A man of character in peace

Is a man of courage in war
It defines who you are, or is it...
You define what your character is
I've never gotten around the irony of it
Maybe you'll have better luck.
Quarrels would not last long
If the fault, was one sided only
Then again, the artistic temperament
Is a disease that afflicts amateurs. Is it?...
The angry man always thinks he can do more
Than he actually can, and
Prejudice is the beginning, of the sinister darkness
Planted deep, in each of our souls
Maybe, I'm wrong, then again,
Art is the most beautiful of lies."

"What do drawings or paintings

Have to do with anything, since neither have anything
Save for everything, in common
What you are is a pretender
And like an extender, every pretender
Will always lack a home and friends
To share your trends.
Pretenders, are worse than murderers
Or so they say, but do I say?
You will end up losing an important figure
Through your finger, never to refigure
The happiness that once lit up your life, Me!"

"And what is happiness

My dear mistress?...
My apologies, allow me rephrase my anthologies
What is true happiness?...
... Don't you know?... Can't you see the vastness
The very word in wholeness
Depicts?...a hint? Okay!
True happiness is the promise
Of the beauties, our lives in the promise
Of the galaxy is offered.
The promise of truth is beauty, since,
Beauty is not always true,
But truth is always beautiful
The beauty of it!
It's a shame, you speak of I'll end up
When the truth of the matter, down or up
Is that I've already lost you.
A true artist lacks a homeland
My lack of identity in home ground
Is a viable example, a living proof
It's never a miracle to make a million friends
The miracle, is of your friends, to make a single friend
Who stands by you when a million are against you
That, is and always has been
The beauty of the true definition
Of friendship, as per my definition.
That's what once lit up my life
And even as the light flickers
I keep up hopeful, like spirited checkers
That one day, soon, the one to steady the flicker
Will be found by my soul, from the particles of dust
That make forth the people.
My ALL
When I look into your eyes, my heart misses a beat
And I can't help but feel, your great love and affection
For me, radiating from the depths of your person
The mere thought, fills my tummy with butterflies
And my body melts, under the warmth of your caress
Your kisses, make my mind do flips
In the air, and I can't help but wonder
If I had the wings, to fly into the sky
Would time stand still,or, would it pass me by
You know that I would run, a million miles knowing
You are my prize at the finish line.

Some say it's a fling, others call it an infatuation

Though both have one thing in common
They diminish with the passing of time
But every time you put your head, on my chest
To listen to the rhymes in my heart, or I on yours
I know for a fact, that ours was meant to be
And will in fact be everlasting
The promise of eternal joy, the bliss of marriage
Is ours to behold, as our hearts are intertwined
Within our chests, in an unbreakable covalent bond.

My eyes sparkle, with every touch of your hand

Every word of your mouth
And every thought of your mind
As such is the benefit of the love, you and I will forever share
Being able to read your partner, like an open book
Without the other, necessarily speaking out the verses
From their mind...and heart.

My love has always,is, and forever will be

Yours for the savouring.
It makes the speed of my heart, increase at times
With the memories...of the times, we both
Spend together. Every second, minute, and hour
Of the day, you dominate my thoughts, and
Like a piece in a chain, are my strongest point
And also, my weakest link.

Don't ever leave my side, I need you inside my world

I can't go a day without you
Most of the time,it feels we got stuck in a maze
Like we are swimming in circles,
Though, unlike the norm
It fills me with everything beautiful
Known to man. Every time I stare into your eyes
I feel nothing but satisfaction
That only you can conjure up within me
Yours forever!

001
An avid orator with a schooled speech,
A million poets with charming verses
Still don't see what your eyes teach,
But I'm drawn to you as time passes
Pure love has a blind eye
Which is not ignorant of a fault
But soon let's it fly by
Or dwindles it to nought.
On the verge of hopelessness
Your love strengthens my soul,
My heart gathers boldness
And my frame stands tall

002
The graceful degradation of the vigour of youth,
Valour, colour, agility, brilliance, now stale,
The fountain of the life giving crimson stream
Ticks its own life away, the cradle of life breaks away

The moon now blinds me and the sun's uncouth

The narrow gullies I crossed now swallow me like a vale
The past is perfect, present tense, future from Dreams of a
dream wasted, darken my day

003
The still voice that speaks still
From the days of "do not kill nor steal,"
I heard it like a gentle breeze, caress my soul
When I was at hell's edge and ready to fall,
That the hands should rightly fight
Me, are ready to set me in flight
Towards right, with the trusted ways of grace
And the divine love we off mistake, then misplace.

004
Those blue and red lights
And a siren, make me uncomfortable,
Not because I prefer wrongs to rights,
Not because am a criminal,
But because those in the blue cabin
Might be as rogue as the crooks they're chasin'.

005
If your heart's a flower
Then let mine be the niche
In which you cherish to flourish every hour,
That I may glow within your halo's reach
'Coz life without you is the torture
Of restlessness and vague desire

THE CLOAK OF DARKNESS

To most, it stands for evil,
To some, it stands for failure,
To me, it's the sorrow of living
Lost to my identity
With no sense or interest in the past
Or a hope for the future
I lack a direction-
And even worse, a guide
That'll lead me in my path
And struggle
To take off this cloak of darkness
I involuntarily wear

The cloak I wear

That reminds me constantly
Of my failures and weaknesses
That doesn't give me the time
Or space to become who I want to be
Or achieve what I want to achieve
The cloak that remains a nagging doubt
To all my hopes and dreams for the future
The cloak
That makes me keep asking
What it is I stand for
Or where it is I want to go
What kind of future I hope to get
It's all covered and consumed
By the darkness in the cloak
The cloak of darkness
That darkness my soul
And consumes my spirit
Leaving it in tatters and shreds
Remains of life
That breeds and inhibits
Only pain and hatred
The significance of this cloak
That once was the star of my life
Hits me like a wave
Every time I think of it
Though now,
All seems lost
Coz that's how I'll be
Lost without the cloak
In this cold, harsh world
Then again, I guess
I've been living, for quite some time
Without this cloak
And though the light
Is dim and shallow
I know I will survive
To live without it
Like so many before me
And still realize, my goals and dreams
To become the best I can be
Maybe someday,
I'll reach the light
And neither the cloak
Not the world
Will be able...
To envelope my soul
In their darkness again
And my spirit will be free
To fly with no boundaries
Not restrictions
Once I take off
My cloak of darkness!

THE WOUND IN MY HEART

For some many a year
For so long a time
The wound in my heart
Has bled
And even more...shed tears
The pain, getting worse
With each passing moment
Unlike the common say
Time heals all wounds.

Each passing day

I recall with regret
The injustice done
To my poor young soul
The plague of remembrance
Being my constant, and
Fearless shadow
No matter how hard I try
To forgive and forget

Now as I write
The verses of my life
I can't help but think
Of the phrase I've heard
So many use
About the person I've become;
Good girl gone bad
They say,
But for the majority
Who claim to have always
Known the person in me,
They claim it's more;
Bad girl gone worse

Which do you think it is

If I may ask
Is the person in me?
Don't ask me how
I expect you to know
Since none of you
Have met me in person
Since it's common knowledge
A poet, is who he/she writes
What I write is what defines
Who I am or will be
So I ask again
Which do you think it is?

The heart is fragile

Once wounded feasters
Especially,
By the deadly weapon, love
The most dangerous
To which there's no protection against
Pain, rejection, deceit
By those I love
And claim love me back
Cause more, intense bleeding
To, maybe, by
The wound in my heart.

006
I hate this feeling
The one that overwhelms
My senses and emotions
Every time it's time
To go where I belong
The four walls
Be it or concrete or bars
That most call home

First, it begins with an illusion

I'll walk through the door
Meet with hugs and kisses
Greetings filled with love
So much so that anticipation boils
To the point it almost becomes suffocating
The kind that leaves your ribs contracting
Crushing the lungs in their wake.

A smile on my face
As I count the days, hours,
Minutes and seconds
It takes to...the moment
I recite my phrases
Practice my reaction
Fix my clothes
Wipe the sweat from my brows
Calm the nerves...to no avail

I finally open the door

The illusion breaks
The disillusion so intense
I taste the blood in my mouth
It's as if the artery to my brain rerouted
The pains become excruciating
My bliss rage
From burst to simmer
How annoying can life get?

I know my bursts of anger

Hurt those closest to me
Yet this unrelenting
Stubborn yet sickening pride
Grown deep in my soul
Leaves me unapologetic
This is who I am!

007
From dust to dust
I've heard alot
Still just one man
Has proof of that
The one created, first man on earth
How exactly does dust form
In the belly of the mother
After all, its been scientifically proven
Germs harmful to the body
Yet still, even those that fear
Dust and dirt
If I go with the phrase
Come from this very dirt
Whence they're wont to return
After bringing to the world
More from dust
Whence it's claimed
All men came
So why is it such a sad moment
When those around us go back
Where they belong
If returning home is a privilege
Which we all look forward to
After all, home is where we find ourselves
Though with the issue of reincarnation
Home is above not below the dust
Under our feet
Again, why be sad
If those we love
Once they die, are reborn
With new bodies and beginnings
Though with lots of lost memories
We claim we love them
Yet love is selfless
So if they are given a second chance
Like we are given
Why not celebrate
Be happy for the times they spent with us
And hope they'll be as happy in the next life
Complicated!... Though, not so much
After all, when we open our minds to it
The solution to a problem
Is cut by half
When we stop overcomplicating
Everything ourselves
Ah! Forget it!!!

008
The choice most believe
Belongs to an individual
Not an entity or for a legacy
So when we choose to
Live in hate
And die without love
Whose fault is it
Ours?...For making the choice
Or others'?...For forcing us
To make the choice

I choose to live
And I to die
I choose to fail
And I to succeed
I choose light
And I darkness
I choose love
And I hate
Why though...I can never tell
Still the choice is mine
So I choose to take it

Is it a lack of identity
If and when I choose
Neither A not B...C nor D
Instead make a unique blend
The sort that's formed
At the meeting point
Such as that of fire and ice
My lifestyle... My choice!
Don't mess with the liberty
The one thing each of us
Is given freely at birth
For when all is said and done
I alone deal with the consequences
Of my choices
Peace!

009
The ultimate rebel
A rebel without a cause
Unlike most rebels who cause
Chaos for reason of their cause of rebellion
Mine is ultimate for the simple reason
I live for myself, the present
My mission.

A dream to many
A fear to most
To live and die with no rules
No laws as defined by someone
Or something else
They say it's irrational
I believe it's irreplaceable
The kind that's 'a dime a dozen'
A revolution in its right

Evolution from mediocrity

Gave rise to the right
Of choice to rebel for a cause
Or cause a rebellion
With no root cause
Just a feel and drive
To go against the norm
That may not always be normal
Neither right...as goes with majority

I may be a rebel
Whose rebellion causes
Unnecessary worry...maybe
Still, whatever it may be
It is who I am
Cause or no cause
The fire that burns
Deep below the cool waters
Is what gives me reason to live
The ultimate rebellion
By the ultimate rebel

010
To a true heart
Love is amazing
But also a true hurt,
Better still a messing
To a selfish one.

But what is a true heart,

If not one that stays gazing
At the wonders of the true art,
And hates guessing
At the words and deeds of the only one?

Then, d'you know that true love,

That package of a fruit and a gift,
The essence of divine verve,
That will never drift or shift,
The one from the holy one?
It sees the flaws of the one it adores,
But never ignores or tries to impose
It's gift on the ground that should bear fruit
Neither will it draw its axe on the root
But its words will stay until the heart's won.

011
The silence of death makes it known,
Its suspense leaves you torn,
It's suddenness and accuracy makes you fear
It's saddens and breaks and draws a tear

But so does the innocence of birth make you born

It's eagerness and propensity make you grown
It's physical and natural form a thin vencer
Of shadowing the eternal and celestial cheer

012
They say a smile
Is longer than a mile
A a picture
Worth more than a thousand words
Maybe it's true
Still, plastic and reality
To some is practically
One and the same
So never forget
There's more to a smile
Than the distance of a mile
And there's more to a picture
Than a mere thousand words
Take your time
And learn the truth
Behind the reality
Instead of blindly
Following the beliefs
Of other people
Simply because that's were the majority
Would bet their money
Sometimes... Majority only means
All the fools are on one side
Since the strongest man
Almost always stands alone
You'd end up a millionaire
If you remained true to yourself
There can never be
Two of one person
Love!

THE FEAR OF LIFE

The ever present, unwelcome feeling
Deep below the subconscious of every person
The uncertainty, and self doubt
Of what will happen next
Leaving us lost in the limbo of confusion
That makes us second guess every decision
Though to some point, it's also fun
Since it gives us a reason to awake
Every single morn, to tackle the new challenges
That leaves us pumped up with adrenaline, that
Of a rush of excitement, everlasting in our blood stream
The contrast, leaves a bitter - sweet taste
Of desire for life that's spiced up and delicious
That is the true definition of the fear of life.

How we respond or react to this fear

Is what defines each individual
As it brings out the unique aspect of every person
The action repeated so many times, it turns to habit
Which, according to the dictates of morality
Is branded as either good or bad.
An artistic temperament legitimising each
Judging by the motive behind it
Doesn't mean the artist is morally bend
Only paints out the fact, since time immemorial
That art, is the most beautiful of lies

So many have different ways of dealing with fear

The fear of life that shocks every person to reality
The reality of a cold, harsh world
That's ready to devour a wondering soul
Some, by working themselves worn
To secure a future for their dependants
Others, by dedicating their lives to their religion
Since, they say, they find fulfilment in it
Others, submerge themselves in the world of art
Which to some extent is as dangerous
As hanging from the edge of a shark tank
Filled with starved ferocious fish

They say fear is a powerful weapon

A weakness in every individual
I partly agree, it is a powerful weapon
A weapon of mass destination,
At the same time, a strength if appropriately manipulated
According to your intended purpose,
Of the benefit or good, disadvantage or bad
Of man kind, the human race.

DESIRE
The burning emotion that revives the core
Though to those holier than thou
It's defined as the root cause of evil
To thee yee hell bound, it's the soul purpose of living
In the philosophical age of reigning peace
It's more of the desire of someone
That drives most of us to the edge of our wits
In contrast to the barbaric age of Roman conquest
Where it was more of the desire of something
A thick red liquid that flows in the veins
Of full fledged mammals, preferably humans
That drove them to amphitheatres, to watch and cheer
As gladiators or criminals,took to animals, or
Each other, to secure their lives

Desire that makes me lose my senses

It feels like they've melted with the wave
Each time I'm touched by the one I love
Whose skin is as smooth as mine, and his eyes
A lustrous blue, with silky jet black hair
He makes me do things I never thought I would
My smile, as rare a jewel as diamonds
As well as precious, is ignited merely by his presence
His, on the other hand, warms up any gay weather
In this spherical ball, we call the globe, or universe
Whichever the grammatical term, you prefer
It's all the same as long as you get the message
Behind the printed letters

I want you close to me every single day

I need to see you every single moment
To treasure and touch, talk and taste
Every single emotion you arouse within me
My heart rejoices in melodious tunes
Every time I call you mine, and I yours
You smile and plant a peck, on my cherry cheeks
And my whole body trembles in anticipation
For your breath drawing tongue
That feels like a whale in the wild sea

The aftermath...a delirium the non before

Or ever after will be able to dream of arousing.

013
I wonder why the sky is blue
World over day or night
Over land or sea
The colour's the same
Isn't the sky a reflector of the sea
So if the waters cover seventy percent of the earth
Why is it
That thirty percent of the sky is never
Either green, grey or brown

Who teaches birds to build nests

Or shows and gives
A sense of direction
During flight seasons of migration
Yet as human beings
'The complex, "important" beings
Of superior intelligence'
We need compasses for a sense of direction
My questions never end
Only increase with each answer
How so?!

TORMENTED HEART
At times I feel my love for you
Goes far beyond the sky
At times I feel I hate you
From the depths of my soul
At times I'm lost in confusion
Of how I truly feel about the person in you
As I can't quite tell on which side
Of the fine line you lay
The line between love and hate
Which many have claimed, is no line at all
But which I believe, lays, in the type of person

So many a time, I've lived in doubt

So many a fortnight, I've spent sleepless nights
Trying to figure out, what exactly
You as a figure, stands for in my life
So many a tear have fell from my eyes
As I try to comprehend why you torture me so
So many a laughter escape my lips
During memorable happy times between you and I
Yet, I still feel lost to the world
And I can't help but wonder...why?

Why do you enjoy torturing me so

Does it amuse you to watch tears flow from my heart?
Are you so heartless you rejoice in my sorrow?
You claim you love me
Yet I see you with your lover every single day
And during such times, I am non existent to you
A persona non grata in your life
My heart bleeds for answers, then I seek solace
In someone who has, is and will always
Be there for me whatever the weather
And when my tears of blood stop flowing
You return with your fake promises of love
And my weak heart as always, foolishly believes
That you've truly changed to a better person
Only to be disappointed, and the wounds reopened
The tears of blood flow fresh from my soul
Only this time round, I have no solace
He got tired of waiting and watching
I wasn't responding, as my sights were set
Somewhere else, you never know
The value of something until you've lost it
I guess that's one lesson, I've learnt the hard way
And with time, I'm confident, so will you.

I can't and won't force you to be where you don't desire

I refuse to let you keep stepping on my pride
And dignity, like they were equivalent
To some piece of trash, laying on the street
I'm so tired, so fed up of chasing the wind
And I vow today never to let anyone (else)
Even you, my lovely dearest, past my defences
And open up a chance for you to shatter my heart
That is now lost in a void, of endless misery

My life I dedicate to me, myself and I

My sole motive and reason for living
Being to ensure and secure my happiness
At all costs, not minding
At whose expense. I now live for me
And no one else. Let you not, dare not cross borders
And step into the inferno, least you get burned
By the fury fire of vengeance, ignited by your betrayal.

My PREDESTINED PRINCE
The apple of my eye, the jewel of my soul
My one and only, darling prince charming
How I long...for your touch, your look,
Your kisses, and the warmth of your skin
Every single morn, I wake to yet another day
You almost fill the description, of - my dark knight,
My shining armour, my protective shield
Every time I'm in your arms, I wish
And pray for tomorrow never to arrive

Tomorrow comes, with it,

New hope, new dreams, new destinies, and
New horizons to conquer
The world is our playground, you and I
And the world's people, pawns, whose purposes
Are similar to those in every game of chess
As always their presence, is to be felt in service
To those of the higher order, the masters
As far as I'm concerned, that's us
As someone once told me, I was born to rule,
To give orders, and Nov to take
To be served, and never to serve
Just sayin', I ain't braggadocios, as they say
Neither am I egocentric, as most of you
May as well have imagined by now
I'm only a realist, and like all others
I speak nothing but facts, in black and white
Though unlike most, my style in doing things
Has, is and will always be unique

My lovely dearest, I see the world

Through your eyes, the perfect complement
To perfection - that's what you are for me
I don't care what anyone else thinks
Like you said, you and I, form the perfect team
The Ultimate Rebels,
Rebels to life, Rebels to laws
Rebels to everything that seem right...and wrong
In the incomprehensible hearts of men
It's just is against the world

Your name and your sight, simply

Is like music to my ears, and honey to my soul
You bring out the best in me, my world
Revolves around you, your sorrow is my torment
And your joy, is my delight
Your success is my strength, and your failure,
My weakness. You stand for everything good in man
My remedy in sickness, my motivation in slips,
The slips that life, shamelessly throws my way
If only it was possible, to just pick a catch
And sail to an island, where it would be,
Just the two of us, for all eternity and nothing less
Or, pick a spaceship, and fly to the moon,
To live among the other forms of life
Probably to Mars, to live with the Martians
Or to Venus, to live with the Venusians
Whichever you prefer, the planet of love - or lust!
I will take it up, to my stride, and work
To out do myself, my prince charming, come to me
And take me away, to our castle, far away
In the mountains, where we will forever enjoy ourselves
And our lives, as we ensure, the continuity
Of our family's lineage. My one and only hope
For the future, stop time, so we capture, memorable
moments
My predestined prince.

THE CENTRE OF MY WORLD

You brought new meaning to my life
From the first day you came home
Mum and dad were joyous, I was on cloud nine
Kyle as always was very anxious
As he had been from when he was told
A visitor was on the way, dad asked me to pick
A suitable precious name, for a perfect precious flower
And so I did, with all the love my young soul
Could fathom. I love you almost desperately.

You came and changed my life, my way of thinking

You brought new meaning to my life
Revived a dead fire within my soul, I live for you
My mission now on earth, is to see to your success
Your success lays in mine, and so
I will succeed just for you my little fox
My lovely dearest, the one after my heart
I know you'll never judge me
Or look down upon me, I see it in your eyes
Every time you look at me, your eyes sparkle
I see the words in your eyes, you want to be like me
So I must be nothing short of the best
Cause that's what I want for you, I see in you
For you are the true definition of perfection

I know at times we have our differences

I know at times we cross each others paths
But one thing is for sure, my love for you
Will never change. For you, my heart is a child's
Forgetting an error soon after its made
That is how much I love you
For love is a cure, both to those who give
And also those who receive it
Life is like a flower of which love is the honey
You are my flower, for you I'll always have honey
Mine is unconditional and forever will I cherish
The fact you are and always will be, part of my life.

You build me up, when I'm out down

You make me smile, on a gay weather day
And with each passing moment, my love for you grows
It blossomed like a morning glory, from the morning
I first held your delicate fingers in my palm
And ever since then, its grown deeper
More intense, it's almost turned into an obsession
Your laughter is like music to my soul
Your cries are like daggers to my heart
Such are the complexities of life
Those that make me hold my breath,
Every time you are around, so you won't adopt
Any imperfections, yet, at the same time
Worry me sick and out of breath
Wondering where or how you are
Every time you are too far out of reach...of sight
Only time is capable of understanding how great my love is

My dearest one, I wish you the best out of life

Don't pray for an easy one
But for the strength to endure a difficult one
Though don't ever despair
For l will always be here
Whenever you need me
To ease a challenging obstacle
For I believe nothing is difficult for conquerors
And you, are the greatest of them all!

THE JEWEL OF MY HEART

The explicit joys of first time motherhood
Ran through my veins from the first moment
I learnt a life, was slowly growing within me
I was overwhelmed, I couldn't wait to hold you
And call you mine from the first moment of your life
How I marvel every time I look at you
Jewel of my soul
Forever you will shine in bright light

Your most handsome face

Crowned by your silky black hair
Those two diamonds you have for eyes
Your light complexion that perfectly
Complements you kindred spirit
Bring pride and joy to my soul, every time
I look into your eyes and know, you're mine

I watch you play and wondered what I did

To be so lucky to have you in my life
Your daddy left when he found greener pastures
I didn't bother to tell him, why should I
Have had to watch him deny you, my prince
Don't worry though, it's his loss
You are an angelic blessing to me
Jewel...of my soul
Forever you will shine in bright light

Nothing will ever be too good for you

For not even the stars are your limit
Your heart's desires shall be yours for the taking
Be it the moon or the sun
All you have to do is say the word
And you shall have it
The world is your playground
Let no one limit your movements
Your seductive nature
Is the pilgrim of my life
And my weakest link
You take motherhood to a whole new level
A level whence no impurities can exist
Shine bright like a diamond, forever, till they kingdom come

Guess what my little one, daddy realized his mistake

Now he claims he's sorry and wants to be a part of our lives
Once again, laugh at that, you know why
No one uses us as doormats to suit their lifestyle
To throw dirt on and wash whenever it feels right
For them. Chances like this are only but once
Be free to be yourself
Choose carefully those you let in your inner circle
Be sly, use and don't allow yourself be used
Live and don't accept to be lived

I am and always will be here to protect you

For my world revolves around your welfare
My pride, around your success
My bliss around your joy
My sun, around your smile
My day begins in your eyes
And thence where it sets.

They never regarded my position
Before I set my dreams in motion,
But now that my vision earns commissions
Through multi - zeroed quotations,
They set up a commission to question my occupation

I have a body-guard though,

I call him billy-nine-piece
Always ready, ever on toes
Like a rogue bitch on Stilettos
When he coughs, niggas freeze
Deals, multi-billion dollar bills

They meddled with love
Like children's cowardly experiments with fire
Their eyes tingled in the ambient blue and yellow
Lurid flames, their tender purple skins
Blushed with the comely, cuddling heat
From that cautious and reasonable distance
Love was safe and normal,...and symmetric-
With law, without art-
With defined beauty and rehearsed decorum
But then, love had an affinity for them
More than they to love or they to themselves,
And so, it drew them closer...and then closer
As they still held each other tightly in that
Relentless drift. Then the fire became more vivid
To their senses - the light more livid
The heat more fervent, and it was not ambient
Any more. Not because the fire was obnoxious,
But because they were still raw
They saw each others' blemishes
In the pure light of the fire of love
And looked away from each other
Then the heat, burned their pride
And forced their faces back to each other...
They tried to shun the heat
Forgetting it is what keeps
And will still keep them
In the cold, stormy days.
