    SOMBER IT ENDS

    Now, today I stand aloneFor you've left and you're gone

    All we hoped for was never doneBecause you couldn't love, but one

    Your heart has been totally turnedAnd none has ever like this been spurned

    Much we surely should have learnedHad you had not, all like that, burned

    Seeds when rotten grow into treesBut as for us we couldnt sail the seasMaybe we couldnt afford loves feesFor stung weve been by loves bees

    All along I thought it wouldnt endI just had forgot that wire could be bendI had thought our love would set a trend

    But I guess we couldnt wisely blend

    Now we have set ourselves apartFor love has done nothing but depart

    From this union weve both played a partSomber it ends but it stays in my heart

    FOR I AM YOUR MAN

    A lee Ill provideWhen thee has nowhere else to hide

    I do hope you decideThat forever with me you reside

    For I am your man

    Over this odd sideLoneliness Ill forever derideFor only with you Ill abide

    From this day on Ill be your aideFor I am your man

    The two of us none will divideFor love for you Ive plied

    With all my prideTo you I now take stride

    For I am you man

    Old memories have died

    As only you Ill now guideThrough this dangerous ride

    Of loves vicious tideFor I am you man

    BUT

    My whole heart I had givenMy whole love Id poured

    Sacrifices Id laid far aheadTo be with you in all we trodI had wished to be with you

    Instead I all wanted to belong to youI was very ready for life ahead with you

    I even couldnt make my own plansFor I was so in love with you, but

    Feelings for myself had vanished long backInto thin air as does the steam

    Like dew at the rising of the sunAnd all my emotions were directed to you

    As the suns rays to the universeI had wished to spend life with you

    To be with you everyday like weatherI had set my eyes on no one else but you

    I was ready to see only you but

    1ST SIGHT

    Love at first sightSurely the greatest lightBeams with vast mightSeems its always right

    Indeed it daubs whiteAlmost north-star brightSoars in mobelous height

    Its parachute belt tight

    Juicy as the first biteEye-catching tourists siteNever regressing in fight

    Steady [plod] starved of plight

    Lacks all dark spiteOnly there to excite

    And loving memories igniteLove at first sight

    MY LOVE II

    My lips quiverTo, what I feel, spill, fill your open ear

    So that right here you hearWhat kind of tunes my heart has composed

    See what terrine my love has mouldedThe field my mind has planted

    The portrait my emotions brush has endorsedAll my fear my courage has molested in this moment

    As my incalculable, immense love I vergeTo without delay

    Speak out right now

    My emotions intensifyTo with aplomb, in a larghetto explode

    So that without la-di-da I spillThe juices of my most pure feelingsWhich only thirsty lips need take inThe sap that my tree of love sheds

    The passions I reveal from the most deepThat Ive baked since the day that I met you

    That I truly, on you, wish to sprinkleAnd without delay

    Speak out right now

    FICKLE LOVES SLOUGH

    Love is but ephemeralMine envisage doeth stands

    Love speeds us inveigh into itAn inveigle tongue it doeth uses

    Love has proved no ligatureIt spends away like the night at dawn

    Love a bosom under radianceFades away like daylight at dusk

    Love art giveth me no refugePiteous to me you might be

    But love with all my might I know

    Plentitude of heart I speak with

    Love cant surely befriend menAn alien to men it does standLove deserves no mans pity

    For in tears it has left many a man

    Love then stands inconstantAn incomplete trip love poses

    Love: from your regale I refrainFickle loves slough

    PATIENCE

    Womens love comes slowForgive me I aint their foe

    Once love boiled in mine heartConfused ,I fell from its steam

    The victim I loved I informedActions spoke louder as conformed

    Starved of love I then stoodAs pace she took at own accord

    Love me as much as I theewith plentitude of heart as does me

    This she dared not attemptBut rather ooze she chose to

    Womens love trickles slowlyTo fill the glass man holds boldly

    Ere he can lay backAnd drink to the fullness of her devotion

    ZEAL

    Maybe I love too muchFor the disappointment also is too much

    The hurt I feel stands too muchYes I love ,but more than Im loved

    And so from the chains of hurt Im not saved

    Maybe I expect too muchIf love on its own is surely too much

    Indeed I also feel Im too muchTo the one that I care for so greatly

    I feel I shouldnt be into it so zesty

    Maybe emotions in love mustnt be too muchFor the onus as a result is too much

    My hopes for love are maybe too muchToo much that no one can truly cope upI dont know, maybe love is no close up

    I wish I knew loveI wish I knew how to love

    I wish someone taught me what love is

    WILL

    Even the actual discovery of the moonCant match mine of you

    I aint going to look any furtherFor, you ,my angel ,will always ,be hereLike your shadow ,Ill be yours forever

    Every time I tell you I love youI feel like Ill almost break down and cry

    For this is different from anything I ever feltI pray and hope itll never end

    I fantasize and dream that it wont destroy usFor I can and will do anything for you

    But sometimes I miss you so muchSo much that I almost think its over

    But this strengthens me and I keep holding onTo the words that you told me when we first kissed

    I wish its not a dream that well awake fromBut if its indeed a dream

    I hope only that it comes trueFor you are the only one , Im looking nowhere else

    I love you always

    BROKEN HEARTS

    Broken hearts bleedThey exist, trees bearing no seed

    Murder me if, but now , I lieFor love I dare to defy

    A broken heart ,be not my prizeFor love I gave with no sizeGrief comes nearer to lodge

    Tears never run dry

    Memories never seize to fly

    Depression, seems loves bloodPassion, lives as the bud

    Love, you arent fairI dare thee over there

    Your promise was not trueNot many love drops but a fewWith nothing on which to feed

    Broken hearts bleed

    PROVIDENCE

    Providence ejaculatedOn many ,a soul

    Dumpens the human wallsThat stand on lifes poverty

    Providence vomitedUpon loves floorCasts all upsets

    Into vanitys sarcophagus

    Providence teardroppedOn un-expecting cheeksCalls for nothing more

    Than a shunny handkerchiefs wipe

    ELERGY

    Thee was mine lollipop, a daisyCherish do I to be with thee

    With thee amiss life isnt easyFor thee was the cream in my coffee

    My sunshine where art thou be?Thee shone all day and took care

    till death snatched thee away from meand hid thee over there

    Oh greedy death has mauled thee with dareDesperate grave has drank thee down

    Death has made thee pay thine last fareFor thine final tour to the last town

    Everlasting tears ,my eyes do vomit

    Seek to pace ,do I ,on deaths street

    SAVE THE METAL

    Our love has erodedIndeed I can see the rust

    Eating away at the strongest metalsThat we alloy into our love-

    the ferrous lovegalvanize we should have, long back

    but now time runs far aheadMisunderstandings erosionGullies on this loves field

    The more the days ,we open arms toTantamounts the storms on this field

    We watch as they wash awayThis love which is like sandWho has power over fate?

    LIFES MANNA

    Down lifes throatIs the journey

    Of whichMinds never thought

    Indeed we stand ,lifes favorite foodMaybe its dessertMaybe its wine

    We sometimes, indeed makeLife drunk

    Belly-scratching-itchy fullBut life never gets fullAs it picks each of us

    From this scullery stained plateAnd squeezes us through its lips

    Into tomorrowMasticating usInto the futureOf its stomach

    Before relieving itself of usIn the chamber

    Of death

    INTENSE

    Day in day out, tenselyAnxiously ,with itching heart I wait

    As the horizon waits patiently to swallowThe sun ,daily with its open jaws

    Will I ever get the chanceWill I unleash my heart thence?

    Love indeed is painful if kept insideFor it ticks fast like a time bomb

    Waiting to escape fast ,but in me trappedAs I never get the chance with you

    Will I ever get the chanceWill I unleash my heart thence ?

    My love for thee has rapidly builtThis enormous tower in the town of my heart

    Which mushrooms within my beingA planet that draws close to yours gradually

    Will I ever get the chanceWill I unleash my heart thence?

    My last chance this might beEre I never see you again

    Like a hero ,an impression, is what Im bound to setBut thin air Im grasping ,the pain revolves

    Will I ever get the chanceWill I unleash my heart thence?

    LOVE, OH LOVE

    Love needs no introductionLove feeds on affection

    Love cooks up inspirationLove looks for consummation

    Love lacks no possessionLove takes any invitation

    Love presents an attractionLove resents all desolution

    Love steams with passionLove seems a speculationLove seeks a foundationLove peaks on sensation

    Love abides in devotion

    Love hides in passionLove holds a decoration

    Love folds in contribution

    Love can make penetrationLoves den dedication

    Love cools in determinationLove fools all indignation

    Love surely isnt humiliationLove purely lacks determination

    Love holds its portionLove fails no nation

    MEANT TO BE

    Like a nimbus rushing to rendezvousLike the river chasing after the terrain

    Mountains elephant-ing down on low-land-formsBirds innate sky-souring

    Lovers are meant to beLike the suns daily embrace of this earth

    Animals ability to scentFishs survival in earths seas

    Trees hairing the earths surfaceGrasses moustaching insular valleys

    Love is always meant to beIt wont be if it isnt

    Meant to be

    Like day and nights antagonismLike floods underlining of the antediluvian

    Collateral life and deaths infinityMornings exordium to the day

    Lovers are meant to beLike bloods inevitable trips to the heart

    Days and weeks marathon into centuriesGravitys fetters on Mother NatureStars flowering the skys gardens

    The higgledy-piggledy at suns eclipseLove is always meant to be

    It wont be if it wasntMeant to be

    THE BREAK

    To believe in love again I wontTrue love to deserve I think I dont

    For indeed Im not so specialAs in what someone must be loved for

    What do I have to deserve love?Sometimes I feel down low

    For the reason I truly cant findNot that Im a murderer or what

    But that I just find it hard to carryMaybe its that Ive been hurt too much

    Maybe its that Im always let downBy those that I give my all to

    By those that I execute sacrifice forI think I was meant to be alone

    For now in love I no longer trustFor when people always let you downIn you they see nothing that suits loveThey see nothing thats really worth it

    And so now I believe what they seeMy belief in love now fades awayLike steam as the hot water coolsTo believe in love again, I wont

    FALLEN TO RISE NO MORE

    Fallen is the leaf from the treeSomething never wished to beA lollipop swept from its stickBy the ravenous tongues lick

    Forever together we surely cant stayFor with dripping love I leave today

    This day the ground I stand on swaysBut your hand my heart holds always

    Higher than mountains, plans I hadFor a citadel to be erected ahead

    For our hearts to be clamped togetherSo that between us wouldnt come another

    All matrimonial thoughts hued up vanityFor nature cant allow us this unity

    Natures evil spirits have separated usWhats the use giving love a fuss?

    Goodbye now my darling my love

    In me you stand always my she doveTo miss you I cant surely prevent

    For this separation truly leaves a dent

    Even though away I now take strideMy heart with you will forever abide

    The wound heals the scar remainsYour soft heart my soul always maintains

    Erase you from my heart, no one willForever in my heart, you shall remain still

    STUNG

    Squeal was the least I could doWhen long back stung by loves scorpion I wasIt was a swollen wound as loves poison reacted

    In my own blood driving in juvenilityItchy it became as the days mumbled by

    To scratch I thought was the only remedyBut the venom was surely an internal toiler

    So feeble had loves labour made meThat to faint was now a predictable destiny

    Love had got its grips on me plugged inAs it crawled over my helpless conscience

    With its tail raised up high aping egoIt then scanned around weary masked

    Heaving silently I slept my eyes half closedAs I experienced this virulent liquid

    Circulate my own anatomic veinsThat I was so vulnerable seemed so farBut this second sting proved inevitable

    With a shrill, sweat trickled down my foreheadAs I felt the sting sink deeper into my flesh

    And deposit yet another quantitySubdued by this unexpected invasion of unconsciousness

    I shut my eyesWho shall open them for me?

    Who shall be my savior?

    ALONE

    Today when I really needed someone to touchYou were not there

    Today when I truly wanted to be heldYou were not present

    Today when I really itched for your kissYou were never found

    Today when I truly wanted to say how I feltYou were nowhere near

    Today when I really wanted to see your faceYou were never at hand

    Today when I truly wanted to smell your scentYou were somewhere else

    Today when I really wanted to hear your voiceYou were never audible

    Today when I truly wished to see your eyesYou were never visible

    Today when I really needed to lie by your sideYou were so unavailable

    Today when I truly wanted to pour my soulYou were surely not here

    Today when I really wanted to feel your loveYou were never here to love

    Today for the first time when I was really sureYou were not here for me

    ANGER

    IrateWith hate

    That has never been lateTo decide the fate

    Right here at disputes gateI now held the plate

    From which rage and furyI picked up and ate

    THE VANITY OF LOVES VERVE

    Constant stood my love for theeFlowing as an ever-flowing stream

    But repel you rather chose toAs the river flees from the mountains

    Thee fled from mine love

    A tender loving touch I offered theeMy hand I leased when thee stumbled

    But thee flew away from meAs a dry leaf escapes the twigThee denied my love hospice

    To impress thee with love I triedBut thee was too shy to show yours

    And glitter with me in your eyesThat I couldnt be yours

    Was all that thine heart thrived to forward

    Showing them that I loved thee was mine goalAs the stem feeds the bud

    Until it has fully blossomed my love fought theeBut thee chose to whither to the sun

    My flower bowed to obey the suns radiance

    As the stunned sun watchesThe clouds overshadow the earth I now stand

    To whom shall I give my loveWhen thee was the only oneI ever opened loves doors to

    FOR KP

    Today now I sit and ponderOn what not so long ago occurred yonder

    Which my memories recurrently re-bake I wonderThat I vividly picture in my mind

    Disregarding much agonyIndeed my love for you once stood sternRock of Gibraltar, seems nearly strongSlumber I never had real mind for then

    For my love for you had beenCompactly packed into the shelves of my heart

    That today I under siege unveilSiege of affection

    My eyes had once for long been closed shutMy senses my feelings were fettered in a hut

    My own prosecution I accept no butFor indeed the flower had blossomed but itFor you I didnt pick, To you I never gave

    And it withered in my handBut slowly clandestinely you learned to like me

    But the arid flower I still heldToday that I know that your love aint low

    I know also that my love into your fieldIll sow if its indeed no ones field

    For it now boils in my soulThe memories of loss

    Surely I cant handle for the only otherThe withered flower is what I regret

    But once handled

    TODAY SAW TOMORROW

    Today I saw her with himThey say she was shouting at him

    For its no one else but himI stay calm with my heart in hand

    For time indeed is ticking away on meThe countdown continues dailyI try but cant stop thinking of it

    That its happening to me I cant standI just trust the lordll help me

    Worse off my friends talk of it to meThey ask if it might happen to me

    Much fear ignites within meWhy do they speak such omens?

    I really wouldnt stand such an eventI dont want it to devour me

    I know it could destroy my lifeI wish I could do something to help itSomething more than pray and wait

    For I think of it everydayAnd even tomorrow and the day after for

    Today I saw her with him

    MY DARLING LONELINESS

    It wasnt love at first sightBut another of my languid bites

    That began with our eyesThey were deeply sunk

    Evaporated, lockedLost in confidential conversation

    At this first meetingYour lips, tyre tubesMine itched to kiss

    As I was apprehended and locked

    In the dungeon of my approval ofYour stature - appealing stature

    Right then your lips toreInto the most scintillating

    Scathful smile which rainedThe much needed confidence

    CourageOn my dry field of withered feeling

    Then I knewI had fallen in love with you

    Your thighs I shall forever fondleMy darling loneliness

    LOVES BEREAVED

    Be it by accident or indeed by suicideYet another heart today goes down

    As love has left nothing but noble remembranceToday loves undertaker has set to inter

    Yet another loves corpse into this but shallow graveIndeed between them love had died a vein death

    For sorrow could be speculated in their eyesAs they held the spade and tossed the gravel

    As they paid their last respects to a loveThat had always been gentle and warm

    But then suddenly had turned pale and illThen after intensity bowed to death

    Yes true tears indeed have been at times shedBut not as much as on the death of such

    Such a great soldier of all timesThat had won many and suffered only a few

    That had brought them together when so apartThat had known them when so alienated

    Today indeed they have paid their final honorsAs this death does nothing but put them asunder again

    CUT

    Utter doeth theythe first cut is the deepest

    but to tour love againI dread the second cut

    Amuse such a thought I would dare not

    For once IVictim to heartbreaks sojourn fell

    What mind befriended meThan that suicides oh a sorrow

    God save my soul god save my soul

    Eccentric it isHeartbreak is no friend to joyRather a faithful to distress

    Like two cousins they do standThen better love-in joy than love-enjoy

    Then when heartbreak wrecks againThe cut wont be as deep

    FOREVER YOU

    A glance at theeMakes me forever happyHad I known youd come

    Wait was all I really should have

    That day we metMy heart will never forgetSurely what urged me on

    Was the way you spoke to me then

    That it would beSomething more than loveNever occurred to me then

    But day by day after I fell for you

    My heart tells meThat Ive found the answer

    To smear on me good dreamsPursue all my previous dubious nightmares

    Cling to you I willAnd never let go thee

    Not that its in the beautyBut the something that ticks in you

    Amazing grace how sweetForever when thee is notHere to cuddle with me

    Ill be missing you

    Forever you

    TIMES TALE

    Yesterday once wore todays jacketAnd in todays shoes modeled modestlyShoes that were nice fitting to last weekBut had become too small for last month

    This shirt we have nicely ironedAnd made ready for tomorrow to wear

    Was actually left by last yearWhom last decade offered it toWhen the color he didnt like

    But the question iswill tomorrow like it ,will he indeed

    like the food that today left over?

    BEING

    AliveStriving to live

    And leaving no leaf unturnedIn this lovely lively lifeIs now the air I breathThe language I speakThe music I hear andThe footstep I imprint

    As I cycle this bicycle of being

    SORROW WE BORROW

    To the one that I loved so muchBut whom my love denied

    I indeed sorry am that I ever wooed youI truly regret the words I ever told youI truly regret the words I ever told you

    I thought had I had you life would have meI surely let my feelings stray too far

    I let my loves seeds carelessly geminateIndeed my emotions did me great harm

    The pain surely is my own should be mineFor the feelings are mine the heart is mine

    But all I could do was fail to tameIndeed the heart burns furiously inside

    Because of the flame no one else set but meI set myself ablaze

    Now the fire chars me indeed chars me downFire of rejection fire unquenchable

    But its been my entire faultFor fetter my emotions I could but not

    My heart no one else has to mend but meMy tongue ravenously licks my wounds

    That my hungry love has but fetchedIn your forbidden field where I wish

    I had never trodWhere Ill never again

    Step

    VALE

    If it cant be then surely understandIf it wasnt meant then I cant put a handBut hearing it from your lips is a relief

    It has saved me from almost utmost grief

    Remember my love is here alwaysThat I loved you must always cast a ray

    On your own memory that has today decidedTo end this love in which we have resided

    The gap you leave today, in me, is large'coz I don't think I'll ,my love, to anyone, ever discharge

    For today, you take my everything with youAnd, in me, pain has done nothing, but hue

    If this stands today as my fateThen forlorn, I stand and it's never been late

    Nothing, I do now, but accept the facts of lifeWith mine reluctant heart, I take it, another rife

    Adieu my darling my love, my mythToday you have cast my love nowhere, but beneath

    And this day stands the peg to our love's eraFor today, your lips said farewell, without any terror.

    IF ONLY

    If only I had known of my fateI wouldnt have even tempered with you

    If only I hadnt discovered so lateI wouldnt have dug in this dip

    If only I hadnt been so down for youI wouldnt today be so confused

    If only I had never met you

    I wouldnt be hurting so much todayIf only I could have the future foreseen

    I would have quit right at the startIf only you genuinely cared for me withinYou wouldnt have pained me this much

    THE DELAY ~ WILL I PAY

    My clandestine love I knit intoThis romance which one day I

    Wish to wear with youIncertitude I dont kindle ,for my love;

    For you is like cancer that growsInside of me

    All the incendiary of my heartI blame indeed on you

    Im sure our eyes have spoken a lotAnd sagaciously resolvedWhat my lips and yours

    Have yet toMy love leaven ferments

    Languidly dailyIn my heart

    Until the day Ill pourIt on you to shandyImbibe and vomit

    Upon my soul

    FOR KP II

    From the first layer of my pair of eyesCast upon you to the last memoryMy mono-mind shovels for you

    My love has never for you decreasedYoung and tender once I was and so were you

    Then when two young nestlings top fly we hadnt yet learnt but by then I saw my futureIn the twinkle of your eyes

    Even ere we neared the touch lineTo sport in the races of love

    The franchise to your heart I had purchasedBut only to announce is what I profilically shied to

    Now hundreds of miles away I realizeThe gap between usSo I wish to halt and

    Spoon-feed my heart into your souls open mouthThat I loved only you, love you

    And will wait eternityIn love with you

    MY LOVE I

    Not even a flower holds such fragranceEven a perfume couldnt stand a chanceThe scent of your body really licks me

    To hold you forever Id pay any fee

    Your eyes pierce my melting ownWarmth in them has been carefully grownAnd tilled in faith just as your own name

    Really love to you isnt a game

    Those lips nothing has ever been softerKiss them Ill always remember long after

    May those kisses pour foreverOn my own lips which do endeavor

    Where actually were you all my life?Maybe one day you shall be my wifeAs I see love and care you do possess

    Being faithful is part of the process

    Love for you I have in store alwaysI hope that none of us sways

    For, you are the, North Star, in my lifeYour love has pierced me like a knife

    Thoughts of you roam my mind dailyI hope one day I wont feel aily

    I have really fallen in love with youThere is no one but me to sue

    See through my heart, I hope you couldFor love you always I really shouldYour value is more than a sterling

    I love you so much my darling

    I wish we throw away the pastSweetheart lets make this one last

    TURMOIL, DEMUR, DESPAIR

    Turmoil the early sign of the rising sunIn the oriental squares of a perfect love

    That has for so long been paddled by the legsOf devotees and enhanced by the appealing

    Conditions of lifes atmosphereTurmoils clouds overshadow as the sky sets

    For an emotional tempest that nature cant tameA tempest that possesses an inconceivable demur

    Demur the antipathy of an almost sacred loveComposes undiverged attention to the turmoil

    That has had this love to be like waterSlipping through ones fingers

    Lack of execution of proper judgement hasCalled for this dismal contact which today

    Completes the circuit of irregular love handlingDespair the last resolution the apogee of

    The human mind drives and parks confidentlyInto ones mind at ease so much thatThe human mind has lost all control

    Despair pegs up its land cultivates andGets ready to blow out the last candle that gleams

    In the human emotion andClose their door to love life

    JUST FRIENDS

    Just to be your friendIs what I wish for without pretence

    Just to know you and like youIs what I strive for in every chanceIndeed I come in love and not hateI truly like you and want to show

    Just to talk to you would sooth my lonenessJust to hear you voice would quench

    This fire that has my soul charredThe fear you resemble of meDefinitely digs me the grave

    For just friend ship is what I seekAnd I reverie to hold

    One day with you

    ENTIRELY

    Well if this is what they call head over heelsI myself am totally off my wheels

    As there cant pass a day without noonThinking of you is what I cant miss

    The pain of not seeing you at allIs surely thirsty lips amid the dry land

    The misery of not even hearing from youHas troubled me day and night

    Everyday I live through imaginationI dont even know how you do how youre surviving

    Over this side Ill forever always toilOn the fact that youre still alive

    You might never know the pain Im going throughBecause my heart fell for you

    Well if this is what they call head over heelsI myself am totally off my wheels

    LOVE NOMADS

    Love nomads they heel they hurtWith you they are for as long as

    What they want they get

    Love nomads they feel they forgetFor what they really seek for

    They truly cant even forecast

    Love nomads they care they bareWith them youve no shelterTo guaranteee safety for life

    Love nomads theyre here theyre thereLack of proper-direction-digestion,

    Is the food of their thought.

    FEW KNEW

    Many things men has done but loveNever done on earth as it is above

    The lady she was this era cant describeEyes saw only the flesh her heart knew more

    Betrayal was her food cool and never rushA reflection in water surely a bias

    That she belonged to all knew except herFor action spoke louder as pronouncedHe was down to earth loves disciple

    But surely Eros is an earthly loveCupid had struck his genuine heart

    But the truth only the chosen few knewFor him and her matrimony was at hand

    Wed- the final guarantee that they belongedBut only her heart knew and it knew

    What sets freeA month only was that in the wayBetween separation or holy union

    A chameleon on a green leaf is never redShe was indeed climbing other branches too

    Only the chosen few knew the chameleon she wasAll wished he only knew that erosIs but an earthly love and that eros

    Was what she was

    NOT SO

    If you think I cant deny youThen youre wrong

    For indeed Im just fightingFor this to last long

    If you think Im in your fettersTo err you prolong

    For Im safe in libertys handsMy heart stands strong

    If you think I cant do without youYoure straying along

    For the world doesnt stop it goes onIts like a song

    If you think I truly cant find anotherTo you I dont belong

    For further forward I can still urge onMy life says ding-dong

    PITY LOVE

    That you met him ailing mustnt be the adventThat she is poor surely cant be you reason

    That she is so lonely shouldnt be the genesisWhy should you love out of pity

    That death is around his corner stands no groundThat she was dumped cant be your base

    That depression is scorning him isnt a stemWhy should you love out of pity

    That you sympathize with her cant be a slabThat you wish him happiness mustnt be the trapThat you wish he had someone is no backbone

    Why should you love out of pity

    Love rooted on pity is but a little prettyFor in it many have loved many have paid

    Fresh flowers we love but to die they cant aidWhy should you love out of pity

    FOR SO LONG

    Lifes most painful wait loves queueHas got me tortured intensely as my mind

    Adorned in the coat of suspense waitsNot impatiently for the truth you keep

    To yourself for so long

    The truth that I gentlemanly must standBe it in the shoes of my favor or not

    Calmly this fibless response I must take butMinutes can turn into years and hours into decades

    As the truth you keep to yourself for so long

    Be it you love me or not let the sun shineFor even if its covered by the clouds it finally shows

    Hearts have to stand even these emotional galesThat are attributed offsprings of the truth

    You keep to yourself for so long

    Even though the truth shall pierce my heart

    I shall pretend as though it never rained on meBut deep inside my heart will merit the miss

    The denial by your heart-the truthThat you keep to yourself for so long

    Even though the truth shall nurse my hearts woundsI truly cant this long wait stand

    For only you is what I want and what I cantForcefully squeeze from the truthYou keep to yourself for so long

    IMMENSELY IMMERSE

    Love has imbrued us imbued usAnd forever we really miss

    EMOTIONS LAM

    A virgin I wasUntil I raped was by love

    Dressed in his romantic coatMy screams were vain inaudibleAs love pinned me to the ground

    Pulled outAnd thrust deeper its penis of feeling into me

    So crock I became as love subduedIn its ecstatic rhythm

    My jostles sank deeper into the soilBecame careless whispers and died

    Into growled grouch echoesMy hands love had nailed to the ground

    With the grip of his coarse fingersA small tribule of a labourers sweat

    Trickled down the land of loves foreheadFlew and splashed on my cheek

    IMPOSSIBLE

    My apologetic miseryUrinated on top of yourUndyingly faithful soul

    Bore no fruits at allFor so blackened was your heart

    Impossible you said it isLike mowing down quartz

    Chewing down a baobab treeI try to plough the wordsIm sorry into your ears

    But they rather stand stony fieldsMy heart- a book wide open to read

    But your eyes have lost all focusYou have erased and cast aside the pen

    Torn out and creasedThis leaf out of your encompassed mind

    My epitaph I now readFor we all know what grave entering means

    Another chance is impossible

    MY SOLO

    Indeed Im aloneBut I wish to be very aloneTo be in a world of my own

    If anything at all I own

    Privacy the meal of an ennuyIs the food I seek more than food

    The drink I wish to imbibe meThe poison I wish to intoxicate me

    For life is nothing to meTo trust anyone I surely cant anymoreFor everyone always brings you down

    So indeed I wish to be alone

    I really dont want you anymoreI surely want you out of my life

    But something in me keeps holding onSomething keeps fighting for you in my heart

    I really know you shall hurt me one dayI know this wind shall blow my heart awayBut something keeps telling me to hold on

    Something in me zeals to keep with youIm sure enough that I shall be destroyedIndeed destroyed by this so shaky loveBut you small candle still burns in me

    Like the last glows of a dying fireI really want to stop loving you and go onI really want to forget and see tomorrowBut something tells me you are the one

    Something in me still wants you so muchI really know youll cause me a heartbreak

    I truly want to bid you farewell

    DEDICATION

    Charming as much as you areChanging my life day by day youChallengingly have set me on fire

    Charred have I been by my desire for youChampioned have I been by my love for you that

    Cheerfully I accept how feeble I am

    Dearer youve become to me asDaringly I wait for the next challengeDaily I have learned to adore you and

    Driven by emotion I continue to prosperDue to the fuel you pump into me

    Dampened I am and like this I wish to stay

    WHY?

    Today I start yet another yearAlone I am and lonely the sameFlowers have petals for a sake

    Yet I the stigma in the open standsDaily I irk for your love

    But the rain clouds never in the sky gatherThe stream never at all flows

    A barren tree now I standMy flowers have fallen down

    The pain cuts through my heartAs my magnet cant pick you up

    If just waiting serves this much painThen a heartbreak costs a life

    My loves boiling kettle Ive laidAnd knit no intention to retainBut in silence still you remainSilence is surely an assassin

    For today you have my heart tortured

    EMPTY WITHOUT

    Life without love life empty it isFor reason within it one cant find

    Darker than the starless moonless night it isAs it excels vastly in this vacuumnessIts indeed a road leading to nowhere

    A road with no sign of a signpostArid it is and starved of natural joys

    Messy a life it might be but its truly no life at allLife without love life empty it is

    Direction and satisfaction it cant provideA desert it is where thirst cant be quenched

    Truly a cell a dungeon from the outside worldEveryday you pen down memories on a sheet

    Of your mind memories whose flowers are fruitlessAnd everyday you ponder the insanity of being alone

    Yet alone is what you alone can changeLife without love life empty it isFor aim in its arrow there is none

    For no one cares for you and you for noneIts indeed a poverty stricken hungry stomach

    Which succeeds only in sending groans and sighsA smoke which only conquers by bringing tears to eyes

    Miles and miles from the destination it isAs the transport to this point you cant find

    FOR YOU

    Love has never been in such a way been doneFor mine for you is just of its own kind

    Love has never in such a way a soul kissedFor what I feel for you I truly on my own cant understand

    This feeling has been dug in deeperAnd daily the boil enlarges in my soul

    Love has never in such a way enjoyed being an emotionFor the way I execute it for youEven Romeo missed by inches

    Daily the bacteria eats away and all my other feelingsDestroys as only my love for you it wishes to see

    In its intestinesEven from the bone marrow oozed love is and

    Indeed its cells feel only for youLove has never in such a way been done

    THE FAKE I AM

    Indeed the fake I amFor even though the knife touches my heart

    I wont the word stammerFor burning inside the burden Ill have to carryEven though my throat your emotions squeeze

    And to suffocate attemptEven though the bad breathe of my deeds to me

    Spoil the oxygen to my nostrilsThough the tears are knocking at their doors

    I in your presence wont the keys hand to themThough inside I hide the jar of ire

    I wont show for a band of smile Ill always wearIndeed the fake I am-

    Inside I feel pains sword shamelessly torchering meMy heart stays amidst always saying its my fault

    That the onus I must eternally hoistFor reasons only my soul has furthered to study

    So like a dictator my anger I suppressMy pain under this shield I hide and so

    My tears that relieve me in all in the end fallIndeed the fake I am_

    LEE

    LeeWith you Im meant to be

    For like you no one will I ever seeOn earth even in the sea

    Your love I wouldnt exchange for a cup of teaFor only for it Id give a pleaThat it forever rains on me

    Until the future raises its teeOn yours me

    FREE

    The lord had locked my heartFrom love, put fetters around my feet

    Roped me to a tree a distance away from emotionBut never in my life had I dreamt

    That you would be the one toRequest the keys from his hands

    Never did I think that someone like you could free me

    All the power you held in your handsAnd up to now to me its like a dream

    The lord had locked my heart for a reasonAnd you unlocked me for one too

    You freed me from the chains of loneliness andThe ropes of depression

    Now your path Ill followYour love I drink and with you

    Eternity Ill search...

    WHAT YOU ARE

    When in loneliness youre always there for meWhen in blind-folded-ness you always make me see

    When in need you always give love for no feeFor you are the lord thatll always be

    My lord risen is thee up aboveTo me you give nothing else but love

    With you here always I surely wont starveFor with your grace I now live the dove

    Your love surpasses all these mountainsAnd my sinful nature it always sustains

    Your love dear lord carries not even the stainsFor pure it always is and thus always remains

    Oh your love Ill forever suckleAnd when sleepy Ill in your lap always nestle

    Today in you nothing Ive done but settleFor the love you give is true and forever ample

    Many souls my lord you have always savedWhen the devil had almost all their hopes shaved

    Your love we surely never ever deservedFor our flesh always has sins in it reserved

    But you are the savior who is never farAnd to lifes cruising ship you provide the spar

    Your love for men not even a hand can barFor my lord you are what you are

    TO GOD, NOT MEN

    Maybe I deserve thisMy prize for loving men more than God

    The Lord seeks my worship for himMore than my love for men

    Gods love does standNot any man can in Gods way loveGod gives men no heartbreak at all

    For he art love and gives love

    To men I gave loveBut as the broom eagerly licks away the litter

    They brushed away mine love for themStranded I then stood agap

    Now in safe handsIn the eternal love of God I thankfully abide

    Love men more than God I never willFor when they broke my heart God offered me another

    MY LORD, MY GOD

    My Lord my graceTo me thou art pose no menace

    Men cant thine love giveIn thou only I believe

    Upon thy heavenly abodeMy soul seeks to be on-boardThou didst wash off my sin

    GRACE TO THE SINNER

    O devilAgain thou artest got me vulnerable

    Sin I do indulge in againRepent I doest again

    Lord save me with thine graceWith forgiveness polish me my lord

    Strength I think I possessTo Satan Im still exposed

    Righteous living I now seekYour love holy ghost protect me

    My heart laments sorrowMuch the sinner I always live

    Mine flesh is pure sinMine spirit cries for the lordMy God thou art the greatest

    Risen up high is thee save my soulBut continue to sin doest ISurely I reside in shame

    The hell flesh is made ofI now sternly refuse to give ear

    Thine sanctification holy lord saved meO devil now to thee alone hells gates open

    For today my Lord hath givenGrace to the sinner

    MILE TOWARDS HELL

    My life goes down the gorgeTo do nothing there but lodge

    As daily Im gnawed by sins jawsI indeed break the Lords laws

    Im the greatest sinner ever to liveFor sin everyday I give a heave

    My day has turned dark, so gloomyAs the devils approach seems loomy

    Pride in sin I surely dont holdBut the devil always finds me easy to fold.
