My New World

Sweet scents of flowers crammed the air
Atmosphere electrified with harmonious songs
All sourced from the splendor of my field
Where everything obeys my every command
Yes my field, my abode
Endowed with awesome tranquility
Yet dripping with fearsome potency
And I ask myself-
Could anything be better than this?

From far-off a faint voice conveyed by the winds
Surely belonging to a queen from a fairy tale
Or certainly a goddess from a greek myth
Her grace surpassed those I had ever seen
Her voice was like lullaby-
From a faraway dream.
But why?
Why would this alien invade my fortitude?
But how could I resist?
Despite my valor I succumbed
And I fell under her spell
I sank into oblivion-
I was slowly transformed -Bryant.

I awoke in a faraway land
Where everything was different
The whooshing voices of the trees
The rustling of leaves
The freedom of insects zooming around
Nothing in this world was bounded by rules
And everyday was like paradise
Superior to everything I was used to
And in sincerity I prayed that it never ended
But nothing good lasts forever; this was a basic rule
Or could this be an exception?
But then my thots began to materialize
And slowly the world around me began to wither
Till I was left alone on an empty plane.

Days and nights passed
And emptiness and loneliness enveloped me.
As I stared at the endless horizon
I began to lament.
But this shouldn't be;
The lamentations of valiant man should never be heard
Nor should the insects of the air
Gossip amongst themselves
Their sightings of my tears,
The hills should never hear
The whispers of the trees
Conveying words of my agony,
But still I cried out in reckless abandon.
Could this be love?
Had my heart withered with that strange word?
Certainly this had to be love.
I had adhered to its awesome power
But never acknowledged it.
This had to be love.

With my concluding thots
And my tear stained eyes
The world started reappearing
And when it was fully reformed
With smiles I began to understand
Love can penetrate anyone
It mus never be doubted else it goes away
Distance cannot hinder love
When it comes, you're going down
You are nobody till you love and someone loves you in return.
And above all
I could only be Bryant in this new world -rèma

I love you.

Mr Brown Eyes

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"

16.03.12

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

16.03.12

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

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.
