Amazing love
Have you ever experienced dancing in the rain whilst everyone is staring enviously at you?
Have you ever felt you the dormancy of your heart being awoken by pure love?
Have you ever felt as if you could fly to great heights or the deepest depths of ecstasy all for the sake of love?
Can you compare the feeling of romance to contentment in your life and heart?
Could you run a thousand miles or climb the highest mountain when you feel in love?
Love compares us to indestructable red balloons that fly high in the sky of dreams drifting up into the abyiss
of pleasure,
Love is said to be patient and kind, said to be non-selfseeking or conceited nor proud,
Love grows you into your skin and makes you more human and real,
Love is a feeling that the blind can see and the deaf can hear,
Allow love to be your guide, may it be truly fulfilling and may it be an amazing love!
Run Free or Die
you say to me:
run free or die!
run free or die!
but i don’t want to run
can there be no happy middle-ground?
i don’t want to run
i want peace and love and happiness
and while we’re on the subject,
i want a pony. and a plane.
i will never get them
but i might as well say.
like peace and love and happiness
you say you’re up against the wall
with a magnum in your face
and you feel the sudden
impossible
urge to run and run and un
run free or die!
run free or die!
but i’m tired and bruised
and i couldn’t crawl another inch
you scream and shout and dance and rage
should you be wasting your energy?
aren’t you supposed to be running free?
running free or dying?
well, you’re not running anywhere…
you’re still right here
still screaming and shouting
and dancing and raging
and telling me all there things about being in a cage
unwanted sacrilegious cage
run free or die!
run free or die!
sweat breaks out
on your passionate forehead
no water could cool your flame
because you may be standing here
talking and ranting and raging and dancing
but on the inside
behind the wet forehead
behind the blinded eyes
you are doing everything you want
only
one
thing
run free or die!
run free or die!
the wall is hard and cold
just like the bullet in the magnum
just like the eyes of the one holding it
and you feel the wild urgency
of feet hitting the ground
and heartbeat raising not stopping
of tracks erased and unknown
cos inside you know
that magnum will never kill you
as long as your soul runs free
in the impossibly open fields
it runs and runs and runs
and runs.
your fever pitch approaching
everything starts boiling
in a wild fray of limbs and hair
run free or die!
run free or die!
you’ve lost your faith
in everything but the wall
and the magnum and the fields
cos how could you still say your prayers
say your still prayers
to the jesus that abandoned you?
and left you up against the wall
and without the legs to run
without hope or faith or love
but you will never stop shouting
and screaming and ranting and hoping and dancing
and the hopeful words resonate
with a hollow-sounding throb
run free or die!
run free or die!
how could you do anything else?
it’s been a long time since the slaves
but their bones and blood are all around
in the wall you find your back against
in the magnum against your face
but you can’t die, never will die
because you run free
you’re almost tapped out now
your words little more than obscenities
but one phrase repeated
as if repetition could stop the inevitable
run free or die!
run free or die!
almost done now
it’s almost time
time to put this eternity to a stop
a frantic screeching halt
the magnum blazes
your body falls to the ground
but you’re alive
because through all of this
all the screaming and ranting and shouting and dancing
you never stopped running
and your legacy lives
run free or die.
Angel of Demise II
every word i write
every sound i hear
every thing i see
is tainted by your hand
i thought it had ended
i thought it was over
but it isn’t that simple
and you will always be
the angel of my demise
you are the heart of my rage
the barren space in my mind
you are what i will always look for
but will never find
you are the regret of my mortality
you are the muse in my tears
and you will remain to be
the passion in my darkest fears
Angel of Demise I
you are the angel of my demise
your conscience never stained by your lies
your robes never stained red
by the blood of my heart
you are the love that brings my death
your soul never broken by the silence of the morgue
the morgue where i lay my head to rest
you’re the one that poisoned my breath
you are the light in the darkest corner of my mind
a light so harsh my soul is blind
you broke through my deathly disguise
with a single glance from your frozen eyes
you are the goddess of my sorrow
the bringer of my discord
and with a single word
you bring death to life
i can see the twilight in your eyes
i can see the twilight in your eyes
but i don’t know whether it’s the suns fall or rise
your voice cuts through the endless whys
but i can’t hear past my dying cries
and i could try for one last time
to see clearly through my rotting eyes
and i could try for one last time
to get back up just to compromise
i can feel the warmth of your hand
but i don’t know whether it’s love or hell
and i wonder at first glance
how it is that one could tell
and i could try for one last time
to see clearly through my rotting eyes
and i could try for one last time
to get back up just to compromise
i can hear the voice of an angel
but i don’t know if it’s Lucifer or Gabriel
maybe i should face my fears
maybe i could drown in tears
and i could try for one last time
to see clearly through my rotting eyes
and i could try for one last time
to get back up just to compromise
Is there Hope!!!!!!!!!
God, Father, Baba Nkulunkulu!
What is going on in this world that we living in
This world where people are constantly giving in
Giving in to the challenges, the poverty
The poverty that has become of our daily lives,
jeopardising the effectiveness of our daily strives..
Lord is it not you who made the heavens and the earth
Who put the different planets in place
providing us with our own space?
How then do we allow satan to penetrate our souls
To concour us, to destro us
We live in shacks, feedng from our parents and
multiplying agony to this world that is already crazy
Cause so many of us fail to see we are lazy!
Weekends turn into life ends as celebrations turn into dreadful nightmares
Just because some men cant keep their p's in their pants where they belong
and some lunitick could not resist the temptation to hurt
Lust concour our young people and drives them to experiment
with sex, booze, drugs and harmful weopons
that results in consequences that forces them to make decisions influenced by their conditions
Lord you have given us skills to fight the worlds ills
You have given us the ability to dream
so we can figure out what our lives mean
Yet we have failed you
We have failed ourselfs and we have failed in realizing those dreams
so we can build a better life for ourselves and those yet to come
Young girls fall in the trap of sexual exploration
and find themselves pregnant, uneducatated and hopeless
loosing their dreams, loosing themselves
When does this chaos end? Is there hope?
When does this cycle of negligence, ignorance, rejection and self-pity end?
O God we need your forgiveness, your grace and your mercy.
How we need you to touch our hearts and wipe away the tears from our eyes
from the eyes of our parents who are loosing their children
The tears of the parents who themselve have no direction, no protection
Is there hope….Is there hope…Is there hope?
Feeling Blue
FEELING BLUE
Dark grey clouds
A misty haze
Beginning to rain
Ending in some hail
Hot dry and scorched
Wishing for some water
Burning in the sand
A Lonely dark night
Noise in the distance
A stir in your heart
Breathless of fright
Lonely oh so lonely
Being by yourself
Guilt trip on your conscience
Feeling so blue
Lies and deceit
Hurt and pain
Honesty too late
Lost it all the same
I begin o see the light
I BEGIN TO SEE THE LIGHT
In a dark tunnel I stood
Confused and depressed
Not wanting to go on
Not knowing what lies ahead
In that dark tunnel I stood
And stood
and stood
and stood
Till I could stand it no more
And at a time I believed
Believed nothing could be worse
But worse was yet to come
The darkness grew darker
I grew afraid
I was alone,the…..
Then the light appeared
The first glimpse of hope
The first sign of better things to come
And as sudden as that glimpse of light appeared
So too did the light become so bright
Now I can see
Now I have hope
Now I look forward to the future
For Career Women
Out there in the world
In which we live
And work, and play,
They say
That women have an equal right
And might,
Without a fight,
Rise, to an even plane
To that domain
Held by men.
But then,
That's not true.
Few are given
Due respect.
They expect
Simply, that she
Takes her place
In the race.
Or lies, or lies.
Then cries
Tears of deep remorse.
Of course
She's hurt.
She's treated just like dirt.
And even
A harmless flirt
Is to some a sign
That good times
Can be had.
How sad.
Just be glad
You have your values
And your dignity.
See them for who
They really are.
Far from being corporate kings
You run rings
Around them
In human terms.
Although every sinew
Inside you aches,
Knowing you have
All and more
Of what it takes.
You are better person.
You have a greater skill.
Just wait a while.
Until !
Until !

For Women With Dreams
Here's to women
With dreams
And schemes.
With visions and
Values,
Beyond all that
Seems reality.
Within their reach,
They teach
Us to break the mould
Of old
Conventions and
Set-in ways.
Who says
They cannot do it all?
And well.
Better,
In every respect.
If left unchecked.
Given rein
To gain
All they will,
And more.
They know the score.
Contempt
From males
Who feel
The threat.
They think her place
Is in the bed.
Yet, when all
Is said
And done,
There too
She can have her fun.
Its begun.
Trite.
Perhaps.
But without
Respite.
It's her right
To be
Free.
To see
As far as her vision goes.
Ah yes,
Here's to women
With dreams.
I guess
They will
Indeed
Succeed.
