BEWARE OF THEM

BEWARE OF THEM

You can run but you cannot hide.
Sometimes I’m scared of those Crocodiles,
Who strip fake smiles on me
Strip smiles and laugh crazy, like Hyenas.

When they catch you
They strip you into pieces
Shape-less and confused
You get all messed up and drowned
Into deep dark seas

The shadows of the night
Making you tremble,
Your knees shaking and
You start running fast
Wanting to never look back.

It’s more like a disease,
Becomes dormant and
Sometimes fully blown

Your Life becoming infected
The loneliness
The adjustments
The confusion
Drilling in your head

It’s horrible
The emptiness
Feels alone
The touch of confusion
New predictions
Unsuccessful
Always pain in the heart

Piercing through, deep into the soul
The disease severely spreading
No matter how hard I try
The whole feeling is dead

The same horrible route
I hate it
Broken into pieces
Your senses on pension
Your body feeling weak
Full of non-visible bruises
Swollen faces

Swearing like a trooper
Long faces, matching bands
Looking and looking
All around
No hole to escape to.

Bird

Bird

Fly high bird of the sun
The river is flowing
Love is among us
Dancing like butterflies
Swimming like goldfish

Fly high bird of the sun
Mountains are high
Higher as it gets cold, cold and colder

Fly high bird of the sun
Roses are golden, golden red
Flowers grow; grow wild
Like wild thorn berries

Fly high bird of the sun
Fly higher than high
The sky is blue; clouds are pure
The rain soothes your soul
FLY HIGH BIRD OF THE SUN

The sound of love

The sound of love

Love is a sound
A sound in my head
A sound which makes
People dance and scream
Loud with joy and pride

“Listen to me and feel me
I am truly yours
Love

I am a sound that is wild and
This soothes your soul and heart
I am love

I am music in your ears
I am beautiful and inspirational

From your hair follicles
To your toenails
You can feel the vibration
Of my sound
I am love

Tears tearing down with
Fresh sounds and melodic moods
Feel me I am truly
Come with me
You will play on the piano

I can be an instrument
You can sing with me
I am love
And I am in love with sound”

Love is a sound

Kwehla phezulu wamukele ngezansi

Ukuba ngangiyimbongi ngangobhonga njenge nkunzi emswaneni
Ukube ngangiyigagu ngangiyodlalisela kubafokazana ngolwemphungushe unyawo uluvusa usinga
Ukube ngangiwumlobi ngangiycikozoza ngahlabahlosile  ngiwaphanyeka ngosiba
Ukube nganginesikhathi ngangiyothatha imlibe ; ngilingise unwabu ngidle ngobekati ununono
Ukube nganginikwe isibani ngangokhanyisa nasemajukujukwini emathunjini ase sithe
Ukube ngangingufundisi ngangiyoshanela nezingaphansi kwencansi izibi zobumyama
Ukube ngangiyincitha chopho ngangiyojula ngokujula okujulile
Kodwa isisine yonke imicabango yokufisa engingakuphiwanga
Ngangophaphama  ngibonge lokhu ongiphe khona namhlanje Nkosi

Free Spirited

This aint a letter,neither lyrics to a song,aimed at no-one specific so don't get me wrong…
Have you ever felt dead even though you haven't died
Do you often feel life to its full is sometimes denied
Have you ever felt whole or mostly broken
Has your voice fell silent,with words unspoken
Lost dreams, and hidden fears
Do they even see your sun-dried tears
No Happiness,joy or laughter
Life seems exempt from happily ever after
So i yearn for the day when my soul will be free
Do you ever miss you, coz i miss me

Eveloped in Love

Tonight doesn't feel so cold,
The world not so lonely,
Time seems to be passing slowly,
The night seems so warm.

As I lay with my head on your chest,
Listening to your heartbeat,
Listening to your breath,
My eyes start to close…

I fall asleep with your arm wrapped around me,
Your warm breath carressing my face,
Your heart singing its song for me,
Your body envelopes mine in rest!!

Confusing Emotions

My mind seems in constant turmoil,
Never a straight thought,
Even though I try hard to unravel,
The endless stream of distraught.

The skies open up,
In a constant storm of words,
Adding to the confusion
Of the already hurt…

I sit outside in the cold pouring rain,
Waiting for the tears to end,
For the pain to subside,
And eventually start to mend…

I have found the one i truely love,
Maybe love at first sight.
Only time will tell,
Should i stay away or should i fight..

My head bows down,
My eyes start to dry,
My heart still broken,
Still willing to give love a try.

now i see

tonight I realizd exactly wot I mean to u….
all da things I heard bout u turned out to be true…
u led me to believe dat I am wer u wanna be….
but u actually only used me….
used me for fun or when no-one better is around….

I can't blieve I allowd myslf to fall for u…..
now im left feeling sad and blue….
I shud have knwn how u felt when u look into my eyes….
bt I guess sometimes da heart only sees and believes in lies….
and now I see that I am not 'good enuf' for u….

being wit u was da best I won't deny….
bt it won't last and u no da reason why…
I can no longer be your fling nor can I be your friend….
im sorry but this thing between us is over…. this is the end….

just cant get over you

im sitting here wondering if im really over you
evrytime i see ur face i try to avoid u coz i dont no wot to say or do
the time weve been together was the best ive ever had
now all this lonely nights without u is making me feel so sad

i wish i could turn back the clock to the day u said we were thru
thinking about it now im armed with all the things i couldve said to u
u never realise wot u have until its gone
and how many choices u made that was so wrong

if only she never walked into our lives u would still be mine
my heart wud not be so broken and we would be fine
i hope she makes u happy i really do
coz if she does it will give me the strength to finally get over u

GEE MY SEUNTJIE TERUG VIR MY

ek het hom gister na my friend gestuur
net vir n kleine bietjie melk
ek dog hy kom weer gou terug huistoe
maar hy't toe nooit daar opgedaag

ek sit en wonder net waar hy kan wees
en as hy iets het om te eet
watter monster sal my kind van my wegneem
my kind weg neem van sy ma

bring my seuntjie t'rug na my
bring hom t'rug hier in die arms
waar hy warmte sal kry
bring my seuntjie t'rug na my
want hy's my kind
en ek's baie lief vir hom
jy't my kind geneem
waar het jy gegaan
ek sal my eie lewe gee
as jy hom aan my t'rug gee

ek sit en dink ann hom en waar hy is
toe ek die telefoon hoor lui
dit was die polisie om aan my te se
hulle het my kind tog gekry
maar hy sal nooit weer met my glimlag nie
en ek sal hom nooit weer sien
hoe se ek dit nou aan my familie
my seuntjie is , hy is nou dood

gee my seuntjie t'rug vir my
sit die lewe in sy oe en t'rug in sy glimlag
gee my seuntjie t'rug vir my
al is dit die laatse ding wat ek oooit vra
jy't my seun vermoor
hoe kon jy dit doen
al jou straf sal j verdien
want ek sal hom nooit weer sien
