You’re Beautiful

You’re beautiful. It sounds so simple yet it’s true
There is a presence in your essence that just shines through
It reflects an inner beauty that lies within you
Believe me cause it’s true, in my poetic point of view

You’re beautiful, inside and out without a doubt
Your beauty is a mystery; it’s hard to figure out
Your eyes are windows to the soul more precious than a pearl
You look at me and instantly, I’m in another world

You’re beautiful in every way to me and those who see
Those who say you’re not are blinded by their jealousy
Your beauty deserves honesty therefore I’m using poetry
Which comes from the heart and so I tell you truthfully

You’re beautiful, soulful, sensual and so spiritual
That smile of yours is sinful simply cause you’re Beautiful

butterfly kisses

butterfly kisses lost in the distance
sweet, sweet sorrow i hear your call
was it not you who taught me to listen
then left me there, was i meant to fall?
he hides in the shadows, lurking there
waiting for a moment of dispare
that second of weakness is all it takes
for him to realise your mistakes
not good enough is what he says
now its too late for simple prayers
just when you thought you found the one
he leaves you reaching for the gun

sweet, sweet sorrow i hear your call
catch me now before i fall

he stands and watches as you cry
begging him to tell you why
he does not care about your pain
theres nothing left for him to gain
slowly he starts to walk away
you open your mouth with no words to say
memories swirling through your head
wishing you were dead
you look around, but no ones there
you gasp for breath, but wheres the air
ur falling now, is it too late
what can you do to change this fate

sweet, sweet sorrow i heard your call
is theres no hope for me at all

am i condemed to a life alone
i whisper to the wind
i feel so small, and on my own
but this cant be the end
reaching, grasping, i know its true
but then why, oh why cant i see you
i sit and watch my life go by
and cannot help but wonder why
this silence consuming every word
i shout and shout but cant be heard
ill leave it for another day
and hope this feeling goes away

sweet, sweet sorrow theres no more call
ive reached the end, you can have it all

Teach Me

When the silence is sound,
When your shadow is bombarded by loneliness
And the only source of balance is gravity
That is when life surprises you with many of its little gifts.
My inner strength has proven itself to be above amazing,
Survival skills, I should host seminars
Hence I humble myself before you with this heavy burden
That has chosen me as its life-long companion
I set it down and admit that
I need to be cared for,
To not be rejected.
I want someone to hold my hand,
To wipe my tears,
To calm my fears
And to not leave me alone.
Teach me how to allow a person to care for me.
Do you not think accepting kindness and joy is a more painful lesson,
Than breathing cruelty and sadness?

When true evil comes

When true evil claws at your door what face will it have
Will it be a comprehension of all your most unpleasant nightmares
Will it resonance like blood curdling on the back of a winged creature
Will it fill the dark corners around your soul where fear dwells

Will evil call your name with a voice as innocent as a child
Triumph tones reminding you of a mislaid cord on the church organ
Is its smile unnervingly similar to one you trust or love so well
It filled with eternal enjoyment leaching off your fear like darkness
swallows the light

Will you distinguish evil as it stares you in the face
Will you ignore the voice screaming in your mind warning you of its presence
True evil does not ask your permission it takes as it wills
True evil does not care how you are feeling or will it be willing to negotiate

True evil will wait until you least expect it
When it comes it takes everything you hold dear
Focusing of the innocents in your life first to destroy your hope
Don’t think death will save you because evil will not kill you
Evil will keep you alive for just long enough for you to see and feel the whole thing

Torturing you until you pray for death, beg for death and start wanting to take death into your own hands
True evil is already waiting for you to make a mistake and trust
In your home, playing with your children at school
In your friends and family
And evil is in you

Why you surprised
Did you not know
We fear you
Or are we the evil ones playing with your mind and
How would you know

When true evil comes
It will not be anything you could have ever imagined
Your religion will not have the answers and you will stand alone

Your only hope is to listen
Not to me
To that voice
In your head
can you hear it?
Listen

What love Really Means

Do you remember the first time you layed eyes on her light brown chocolate eyes
Then you began to realise that her eyes where telling lies while they left you mesmorised
Hypntised becaused you give and you recieve, so you gave but where decieved
While her goal was to mislead and her love was out of greed

This love is what she is but her heart was never his
See she fooled him with a kiss and her sin was from her lips
Her soft, sensual, sexy, seductive skin hid what was within
It showed what could have been. We should have been
Together forever. Eternity. Our destiny was love's foolish fantasy
It defied reality and gravity didn't exsist. Did she fake her love for me?
So what is love actually?

Well, love is a useless emotion which you can learn to live without
But it's hard to give it out. This confusion causes doubt
Cause when its there it fills your soul. It makes you whole. You see your goal
And when its gone you could move on. Suicide is still an option!
Without a heart you are heartless. Careless to love's confession
She loves me, she loves me not. She loves me, she loves me not
Maybe she does but she knows not. Her name is…No…shit I forgot!
Love is you. Love is him. Love is her. Love is us
Love is good. Love is bad. Love is happy. Love is sad
Love is here, there, even there, over there, everywhere but do we care?
No? Yes? Maybe!

Unripe Love

Unripe our love is

When it honors early

It’s appointment with destiny.

For with destiny absent,

patience will turn in to punishment,

respect will turn into rebellion.

Unripe our love is

When our hearts shallow

treasure love deep.

For with hearts shallow,

floods and storms raging

to an end our love will bring.

Unripe our love is

When its delights unplanned

We enjoy in ecstacy.

Ek's Jammer

Dis soos jou woorde my wil wurg
dit draai om my nek
soos toue styf aan my gewrigte
wat styf trek soos dit my rek.

Ek probeer los kom,
maar ek kan net nie beweeg nie
omdat jou woede my kruisig
en my nie wil vergeef nie.

Ek probeer skreeu, “ek’s jammer”,
maar my stembande verlaat my
al wat ek hoor
is hoe jou gedagtes sê jy haat my.

Ek kan nie verstaan
hoekom jy my nie wil hoor nie,
terwyl jy self ook weet
dat ek jou nooit sal wil verloor nie.

Die trane rol van my gesig af
en ek kan dit nie meer keer nie
ek het nog nooit bedoel
om jou so innerlik te beseer nie.

My geheue word gebreek
omdat ek probeer onthou
wat dit my alles sal kos
sodat jy my weer vertrou.

Ek het ‘n fout begaan
en ek sal dit nie weer doen nie,
maar as jy my vergewe,
sal jy dit ook nie weer noem nie?

Death Looms

Today I saw another man dead,
laying in the street
blanket covering his head,
but he wasn’t victim to the streets
he was victim to the calories,
his addiction to the meat
made him weak.
It clogged up in his veins
and the battle continued
for them to see who reigns,
supreme.

To see who’s the supreme being,
with calories being the victor,
attacking his heart
by cutting off is blood supply,
now the people wonder why
and how he came to lie in the street
watching from police lines
not really bothered by the heat.

The ambulance has come and gone already,
there’s nothing they could
he was D.O.A
for them it’s just another day,
for his wife its pain in a major way.

As I feel the sun burning my skin
he burns in hell’s kitchen.
till the end of days he’ll be fishing
in the big, red ocean of fire,
I bet it wasn’t his hearts desire.

This is just to remind that death looms
every breath and each step
brings you closer to doom.

By Heart

I can feel every touch you make on me
I can feel every hug you give me though
You are far away, but all I’ve to do is
Keep on loving you by heart.

I memorise every lovely thing you do when we
Are together so that when I miss you I
Just close my eyes and see you, but all I’ve to do is
Keep on loving you by heart.

I can feel the angelic kiss you blow to me
I can feel your heart pounding against your
Breast when you think about the love
I’ve for you, but all I’ve to do is
Keep on loving you by heart.

You are the only angel who stole my heart
Oh! Yes, the lady who touched me between heart and
Spine since the moment we met. I can see my tomorrow
Today and your vision about us tying the knot and
Growing old in each other’s hands, but all I’ve to do is
Keep on loving you by heart.

Beat of Life

(Intro: Sometimes I wonder what my heart beats for?
And though my mind is contemplating even hoping that it would stop, it doesn’t)

Though my mind’s judgement is clouded by my insecurities, fear and feelings of unworthiness
My heart beats on…
It beats with faith it beats for hope
My mind looks at the world, the media and then compares me to it
But my heart beats on…
For the day that I can fully accept and love myself regardless of circumstance, regardless of appearance
Even though my mind thinks I’ m the only one who smiles with an aching soul
My heart beats on…
It beats for the homeless children, those who are not alone yet lonely, the silent cries of the addicted, those filled with affliction, those whose words and ways start to form a contradiction
But my mind thinks that the world and its people will never really change
My heart beats on….
For the day we will live beyond our own potential and abilities

(Outro: And though my mind clings to the negative,
My heart still beats….
It beats for future prosperity, for future love, for present happiness………..)
