It couldn't be that I am falling in love for the first time
But something about this love you see...
Cliché you think?
No, not this time
It's like I'm under the influence of old wine
Fiiiine old wine
And when I say "I love you"
I mean it this time
A broken record you think?
But not this time
This time I have found forever...
It's in your eyes
And the way you look at me
-you capture my soul-
Oh let our gaze tell the rest of the story
It's in your voice
And the way you ring out in that laugh
-lol, you know how it gets to me-
Oh let me be selfish with that melody please?
It's in the little things
That have somehow added up to make the whole of our existence seem worthwhile
You, me, and the day #WeFoundUs
Oh let my forever remain in your eyes
As you ring out that beautiful melody
And you sing me that sweet harmony
And while I wait till you 'ring' it
I want to keep my new found song ringing in your heart...
"I love you Mr. Brown eyes
Oh beautiful brown eyes"

When will she be gone
When will I breathe air that won't reek of bondage
When will I sway to the rhythm of freedom
When will I kiss the lips of the rose of scarlet
When will I carass the silk of my lovers bed
And gestate in the comfort that his presence brings
When will she be gone
When will I call out another name
And dance in the robe of eve
When will she be gone
So she can take her tongue that barks
Her lips that sting
And the number will be barely nine
When you'd be gone
I hope you carry your band with you
Your silver and gold too
And ease the tension that looms in your presence
When will I breathe air that won't reek of bondage
When will I sway to the rhythm of freedom
When will I kiss the lips of the rose of scarlet
When will I carass the silk of my lovers bed
And gestate in the comfort that his presence brings
When will she be gone
When will I call out another name
And dance in the robe of eve
When will she be gone
So she can take her tongue that barks
Her lips that sting
And the number will be barely nine
When you'd be gone
I hope you carry your band with you
Your silver and gold too
And ease the tension that looms in your presence

I hope I can find myself in the absence of you
Because she came and went with all her glory
No it was the mistaken adjective, or was it fame?
Maybe temporarily so
But it fades, it's perishable
Rather have something to hold on to
Something that will transcend to grace
So this absence should be my presence
If each day I'll pick a pen and paper
And jot down everything that makes me who I really am
Because she came and went with all her glory
No it was the mistaken adjective, or was it fame?
Maybe temporarily so
But it fades, it's perishable
Rather have something to hold on to
Something that will transcend to grace
So this absence should be my presence

The Good-bye Tale Lovers Tell (the break-up series)
With every depth savored in u
An eternity was shared
There have been too much
Too much a time, too much a mile
Too much a dime, too much a smile
Indeed there has been too many a string
Pulled together n two lives blend into one
Two bodies yet it feels lyk one.
Now, if I should be the one to tell this tale
I apologize for the script will b re-written
Because I'd stand at the opposite end
From whence we were drawn
And I'll wonder to myself
"How can ths perfect whole be torn into part?"

An Old Song (the break-up series)
Sorrow sows to the heart of bitterness
Since time has been unable to heal the pain
And my life I now watch from behind the screen
With teary eyes revealing my agony.
Sorrow's hurt has bore in me a hole
Where once I was whole
Yes, two making one whole
Oh how sweet my song was then...
Love's song it was
When with stary eyes each night I sang
Knowing my lovers ears could only but listen to this beautiful melody of mine
Yes love's song
But indeed, then I was whole
Now the hole I posses only deepens with each passing day.
Would time ever heal this pain,
Will I ever truly be able to love again?
Oh the song of love
Sweet indeed was its melody
Now, sorrow sows to the heart of bitterness
And I'm just an old lonely soul.

A silohuette, a frame
Just anything to remember ths name.
You'r telling me I once loved u,
Y then do I have to wondr if its true?
Have days passed, or mayb months
Or has it been years, or mayb even a decade?
Bcs I truly cnt put a name
Or a face to ths empty claim.
We shared a vow?
Seriosly? I must have the Mad-cow.
I want to believe, really
Cuz u sound so convincing its silly
Since my heart has tagged u a stranger.
I promise to try
I'm not sure why
But I'l try to remember
What reel (of my lyf u'r on)
Or y my heart has 4gotten u for real.

I told you I wish for things u can't give
My heart, my soul, my life back
These u can't give.
You came n went all in a dash
So I wonder what u left behind.
Or is that not your call?
Y then do u keep showing up
With that same long-drawn face
Appearing n re appearing at intervals?
Perhaps your mouth should send the msg
Since your face can't.
I will like to believe you're sorry
So simply walk-up n say the words
In italian, spanish, or pidgin if u like
-anything that'd make it easy for u
Cuz m tired anyway
I'm ready to change my sway
Since after all, the music changed a long time ago.

Red Veil
Wedding bells...
White veils, ivory veils, red veils
Its no longer a single choice
I could have done it right-
'almost did
(okay thats a bad thought)
I feel like the devil.
Did I not know,
That just one night could bring me here...
-Regretting, wishing wishes came true?
I'm in the red now
Nothing seems mend able
I have to keep my head bent low
And only hope that
This red veil conceals my shame.

You Were the Reason I Called
You were the reason I called yesterday when I spoke with Chisom your sister n pretended to b familiar
We talked for over 10minutes-(pret
Till I faked a yawn n insisted I had2 eat something
-When just b4 I dialed her number I had downd some eba n vegetable soup
I fought hard to avoid your name as a topic
And if she was aware of my suffering, m not sure
She laughed at all my little jokes n I imagined how it could've been u laughing
We talked about school, your friends, that special teacher that always mixes his tenses
And we always managed to skip your name as a topic
You were the reason I called yesterday when I spoke with Chisom your sister n pretended to b familiar
Because I hoped "you'd pick her call today"

Someday
Someday was a yearning
A man I knew and loved
In a someday sort of way
Because today was never quite his style.
Someday was a child we would have had
But didn't.
A time I knew would come
But never has (and never will).

A Field of Contradictions
Its a field of contradiction,
-One I so happen to find myself.
Its a fight against so many,
-My time, my place, my loyalty, my heart.
All creation is at a stand still,
-Theres a new introduction to this life,
Its pain n gain,
-The gain, I'm not yet familiar with.
Drought n rain,
-The rain, I'd rather elude.
Give n take,
-But how much more must I give to take?
This field of contradiction,
-Day n night -a joy turn
You n me,
-A contradiction to whom I represent.

One Drop of Beauty Left Behind
One drop of beauty left behind
My silver in the graying cloud
Now that all love seems to fade,
But my world beautiful has taken wings.
One drop of beauty left behind
Since my song became unknown
Now u'v scripted a new lyric
And the melody plays in my heart.
One drop of beauty left behind
From all the flowing of that tide
For surely my love was extinguished
Swept away by the wind
No beaming smiles reflect,
For then love did smile.
I'l sail to the shore
And I'l give love a new name.
One drop of beauty left behind
Now my heart smiles
Love overtakes me with a new embrace
Just when I thot my life, it was over.
One drop of beauty left behind
Yes love found me and took my hand
Now I soar on the wings of my world beautiful.
Love found me
When it took on its new name
And it left one drop of beauty behind for me
One golden honey drop of beauty love left behind for me...

Red Ridding Hood
I’ll wait on you
I’ll shade the moon
Two halves of this moon
You won’t see me change
No skin to fur
No feet to paws
No palms to claws
No Fangs in yuh skin, to tear you apart
Because you pushed too far,
and my patience couldn’t last
No, I’ll shade the moon
Two halves of this moon
I’ll be red riding hood
I’ll hold my breath
I’ll wait on you
Because you’ve promised
And no matter how long it’ll take
You’ll give me your reasons…
I’ll shade the moon
Two halves of this moon
You won’t see me change
No skin to fur
No feet to paws
No palms to claws
No Fangs in yuh skin, to tear you apart
Because you pushed too far,
and my patience couldn’t last
No, I’ll shade the moon
Two halves of this moon
I’ll be red riding hood
I’ll hold my breath
I’ll wait on you
Because you’ve promised
And no matter how long it’ll take
You’ll give me your reasons…

[I carry your heart with me (I carry it in] BY E. E. CUMMINGS
I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)
I am never without it
(anywhere I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)
I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
And you are whatever a moon has always meant
And whatever a sun will always sing is you
Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
And this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)
#26daysofhappy
It took me too long to learn this lesson,
And despite how easy it sounds, I have to learn it Everyday!
My heart is so open to love that when I love, I really do,
that sorta kinda means that I may sometimes sorta kinda depend on you to make me happy.
Nooo I'm not expecting you to hand me daily jars of happy
-but there's a rush I get just being close to you in speech, text or urrhmm, view?
Maybe that's why I get kind of paranoid when I haven't been in contact with you for the last 5 minutes.
"You know I love you right?" I ask you on a constant.
I hope you never tire of hearing it,
Or maybe begin to take it lightly
-when I know the power in words,
The power in my words -that string me by every joint once I utter them.
...okay, a series of not so unfortunate events after
And not that I don't like what it felt like to just love you,
But I've learned that I must love myself more-
Enough to realize that my happiness shouldn't depend on whether I have you or not,
But because I have Him,
And His joy is my strength!

My One Thing
My one thing always leads to another
The linking of my fingers to yours
As though eternity was created by the prints in our hands
And our hearts beat in the middle of our palms
-because you know we need this simple complexity to go on
Big-
Open to all your mind's complexities
Because this love has been written in ancient scrolls
For a time like this which will come but once, before it exists no longer
My train of thoughts desperately seeking a continuity in your eyes
As though begging them to bleed a revelation of what my tomorrow is in your heart
You are soft, and your heart beats tender
With my plunger I wish to pump it faster
Beat for me like I beat for you
Let your red blood flow like the rhythmic lyrics of your lips
Let your eyes bleed a revelation of what my tomorrow is in your heart...
My pulse resonates with your silence, begging to breathe in it life if only you would permit
Your blood is red, so is mine
My smile is weak, I watch yours fade
---
My one thing always leads to another
The linking of my fingers to yours, firm, strong
Yet uncertain of what this eternity is made of
The linking of my fingers to yours
As though eternity was created by the prints in our hands
And our hearts beat in the middle of our palms
-because you know we need this simple complexity to go on
Big-
Open to all your mind's complexities
Because this love has been written in ancient scrolls
For a time like this which will come but once, before it exists no longer
My train of thoughts desperately seeking a continuity in your eyes
As though begging them to bleed a revelation of what my tomorrow is in your heart
You are soft, and your heart beats tender
With my plunger I wish to pump it faster
Beat for me like I beat for you
Let your red blood flow like the rhythmic lyrics of your lips
Let your eyes bleed a revelation of what my tomorrow is in your heart...
My pulse resonates with your silence, begging to breathe in it life if only you would permit
Your blood is red, so is mine
My smile is weak, I watch yours fade

My one thing always leads to another
The linking of my fingers to yours, firm, strong
Yet uncertain of what this eternity is made of

While We Waited
While we waited, we forgot to dream
We forgot to remember the strength that lies within our frailties
That on our own we are made to soar-
-not without the recognition of the One who is supreme
The One whom in our weakness strengthens our frail forms
Moulding the spark out of our ugly.
While we waited, we trampled on grace
With every wave off' our silent thoughts, which indeed was made to build our empire
We waited...
For day for night
For chance for 'green'
We waited, that maybe 'the man' may help us stand
Forgetting that on our own we are made to soar-
Why wait still?
Why wait for September rem
Why set the tick of your clock for dawn that would arise at dusk
Why wait
When on your own you were made to soar
Through January, February, March, April till December too
365 days beaded with the glory that you are to make shine
Do you not know, that on your own you are made to soar- ?
