WOMEN SAY....

That men are so strange,

That they can’t change,

If you love them…..they are selfish,

Ignore them…they run to you like d**

Care for them…they become spoilt and childish,

Offer them your love and they will refuse,

Be generous to them and they will abuse,

Give them…they will only take,

Sacrifice for them…and that will be your biggest mistake,

Be passionate with them…they’ll tell u “give me break”

If you give them respect, you will regret,

Because they will only give you neglect,

Disregard them…they bend on their knees,

Forget about them…they will beg you please,

Be nice…they will be cold like ice,

Never offend them….they’ll treat u like a queen,

Please them…they become really mean,

Tell them you don’t want them…they will surely wait,

But women still adore them,

Laugh at their jokes,

Get excited at their phone calls,

Long for their embrace,

the whisper in their ears…sweet nothings,

but they don’t care,

provided they are there, to hold, to stare at all day…..

What contradictions in the way we live our lives!!

NO ONE KNOWS ME

Right now I feel so weak,
I know I sometimes act like a freak,
But that’s not me,
No one knows me,
No one knows the real me.

I’m just a little fool,
That still goes to school,
I’m just a simple guy,
Like all other guys.


With dark brown eyes,
That tells no lies,
With an outer calm face and inner loud cries,

With non-stop gloomy tears,
With a heart full of bitter fears,
With a forlorn broken heart,
With my fellow sorrow that never leaves me apart.

With sleepless and long nights,
Dark with no beams of light,

Weak…..very weak,
Like an angel with no wings.

No one knows me,
I always smile in glee,
No matter how much pain I feel,
And the sadness in my eyes,
I always try not to reveal.

No one knows me,
I might be laughing at the moment,
But in a while…..ill again be felling this torment,
Weak…..very weak….

No one knows me!!

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED?

Have u ever wondered how it is like to feel like a stranger?
Like fish out of water?
Like a teardrop in a loud laughter?
Like love in the heart of a hater!

Have u ever wondered how it is like to feel lost?
Like a drop in the ocean?
Like a needle in a haystack?
Lost…that you don’t know white from black?
Like walking straight in a destination,
When you know there is no way to go back!

Have u ever wondered how it is like to feel confused?
That you didn’t know,
When you are treated nicely,
And when you are abused,
Have u ever felt so low,
And you don’t know what to do or where to go,
When you see all the doors around you are closed and locked!

Have you ever wondered how it is to be in non-stop stress?
When u never feel so sure about something you have to guess?
When you feel like crying out aloud?
And spit the burden of these hard feelings inside u?
Though these feelings you have to keep and suppress,
Although you are in the greatest need of a caress!

No one wants to feel like a stranger,
No one wants to feel lost,
No one wants to feel confused,
No one ever wants to be in non-stop stress!

SOMETIMES..….ALL THE TIMES

Sometimes I keep on building high walls around me,
Not to keep myself away,
But to see who cares enough to make them fall.

Sometimes I keep myself inside a fence,
Not as a defense,
But rather to see who really feels me…who has enough sense.

Sometimes I prefer to be isolated,
Not to be lonely,
But rather to see who cares enough to come close.

Sometimes I prefer to be remote,
Not because of fear,
But rather to see who cares enough to be near.

Sometimes I intend to be mysterious,
Not because I want to look serious,
But rather to see who cares enough to be curious.

Sometimes I decide to be passive,
Not to show no interest,
But to see who cares enough to be impressive.

Sometimes I intend to keep the distance,
Not to act arrogant,
But rather to see who cares enough to be persistent.

Sometimes I intend to be unsocial,
Not to be rude,
But rather to see to whom I am really special.

Sometimes I keep all my secrets covered,
To see by whom and how they will be discovered.

Sometimes……all the times….
And until now, I haven’t found the kind of person I want to be,
I haven’t found the person that when I be ill succeed.

What days have taught me...part 3

Days have taught me,
that lovers meet and stay together,
and others are apart,
so if you are one who have been left behind,
don’t cry and suffer,
just search for a new start…

Days have taught me,
The past I must forget,
And nothing needs my regret,
Days have taught me,
To open my heart and forgive,
Cause that will help me survive and live…




Days have taught me,
To always offer a helping hand,
And never doubt in people when there is no proof,
To always try and understand…

Days have taught me,
Not to be shy if I have done something wrong,
But to admit it and be proud that I have learned,
A lesson that will help me to be strong….

Today I have just learnt,
That the bonds we make will always remain,
The hearts we break will always be shattered,
The insults we utter will always hurt,
And the cuts we get/give will never heal,
If they do, a scar will always remain.

WHY?

Why
do we love,
if life will make us apart....

Why
do our feelings grow
if days will change them all....

Why
do our hearts beat with warm passion
if distance between us blows it off....

Why,
do we tell each other 'i love you'
when we cant even care enough......

Why
do we respond to every word and touch,
when we cant erase from our hearts the fear...

Why cant you stop those painful tears?
Why cant you be cruel when he/she is near?

Why
do we promise,
when we cant keep the 'damn' promises....

Why,
do we smile,
when inside, we wish we weren't there?

I wonder why,
it has to be this way???

What days have taught me.....part 2.

Days have taught me,

That when there is darkness,

For sure dawn is the next,

And when everything is so tiring,

There will be time to rest.

Days have taught me,

To always care for a friend,

Always be true and never pretend,

To always love with no end,

And for any broken hearts, 

To try and mend.

Days have taught me,

To never feel the hate,

To always be confident and never hesitate

And always believe in fate........

 

What days have taught me....the trilogy!

Days have taught me,

To always dream.....         

However, 

It might never come true,

But that’s the best way,

To live life through.

Days have taught me,

To dream so high........

To never give up, to always try

To never let go,

Or say goodbye.

To be continued...................

ELABORATION

If he said he ‘loves you’,
You’d probably say you love him too.
But would you be sailing in the same boat,
Heading towards the same goal?

Human emotions are sometimes confusing,
Lust…..like……love……which is it?
Lust is as bad as infatuation,
All one thinks of is their own satisfaction,


Like is so simple,
Easily replaced,
Easily swayed…..

Love is a deep emotion,
It forces you into compassion,
Bringing you into completion,
Threatening death if you are without that special person.

So when he says he loves you,
He means that you complete him,
Not a day goes by without him thinking of you,
And because living without you would be equivalent to death,
He needs you more day by day.

My Online Friends

I've had one of those days, you know what I mean?
So I sit back and relax,
and turn on my computer screen.

I'll talk to all my online friends,
who know just what to say,
to make my stresses go,
and my troubles fade away.


My friends you're always there for me
whenever I feel blue
and though we've never met before
I know our friendships true.

And although we haven't been friends for long
in this short time it seems
we shared so many things already
our hopes, our fears, our dreams.

We come from different walks of life
but we share a common bond
and it's time to say that of all of you
I've grown so very fond.

So thank you friends for being there
whenever I've needed you
I know you're always there for me
and you know I'm there for you.

LIFE

Life is strange,
Nothing stays the same,
Everything must change,
But who’s to blame?

Life is like a game,
Where you have to loose,
Before you can gain,
To win you have to face the rain,

In life they always say,
Don’t use your heart, only use your brain
In life there is love,
But the more is hate,
No one decides,
They all hesitate,
Not knowing the fate

The closest people to you,
Those you need….always go away,
When you need them the most,
They are lost,

Day after day,
Days go by, people are born
Others die,
Year after year,
No one understands,
Nothing is clear,
Nothing in our hearts except fear,

But one things for sure,
The Almighty is always here,
When you whisper a prayer,
 He can always hear,
When you shed a tear,
Live in fear,
Don’t want to face another year,
You can always tell Him what you are going through,
I guarantee,
He will give you an ear.

HOW TO TURN DOWN A PROPOSAL

I hope I didn't do anything wrong,
And I hope this doesn't start a fight
It didn't work out…..because all along
I tried too hard to keep things going right.

I don't think that good friends were made to love,
And if we break up, love will turn to hate,
This friendship I don't want to let go of,
So I suggest that maybe we should wait (my best line).

I hope that things between us are not strange,
Because young romance gets that way,
You are a friend I don't want to exchange,
For a teddy bear on Valentine's Day

I really hope this doesn't make you mad (huh!)
Cause I didn't mean for things to turn out bad.
Xoxo!

HELP ME

Help me when my faith isn’t faithful,
Help me when my strength isn’t strong,
Help me when my peace isn’t peaceful,
Help me when my right isn’t wrong,

Help me with your patience when my patience isn’t here,
Help me with your wisdom when the answers aren’t so clear,
Help me with your presence when I’m feeling lost and lonely,,
Help me with your spirit cause you are my one and only,

A rough exterior hides the softness that is centered inside,
of this young man typing now, these words I cannot hide,
They flow from me freely but the thing people cannot see,
Is that the gentle of this world, are people just like me...

HOPE

I was on the precipice of losing it,
Letting it go forever,
Not a care about it would I have,
'Never will I ever have you again'...i reassured myself.
And I vowed to stick to my word,
The stickler for my words that I am,

2 days without it,
48 hours, 2880 minutes,
And I was sinking already,
Sliding fast, suffocating, drowning, dying…inside,
Without it I was just a shell,
and for a moment I thought
What the xxxx??

Hope is such a marvelous thing.
Why would I ever want to lose it?
It bends, it twists and it sometimes hides...
But rarely does it break.
It sustains us when nothing else can.
It gives us reason to continue and courage to move ahead,
When we tell ourselves we'd rather give in.

Hope puts a smile on our faces,
Even when the heart cannot manage to...
It puts our feet on the path,
Even when our eyes cannot see it...
It moves us to act,
Even when our souls are confused on the direction..

Hope is a wonderful thing,
Something to be cherished, nurtured,
Something that will always refresh us in return...

It can be found in each of us,
And it brings light into the darkest of places.

So never lose hope!

YOUR VOICE

There is no poetry that can describe your voice,
It brings me so much happiness and joyce,
I’m in love with your voice and I have no choice,

The sweetness of your voice shakes my whole existence,
Makes me so helpless with no resistance,
Your voice is more tender than a violin,
Resisting this voice is a sin,
Your voice is what makes my love for you begin,

Your voice is soothing and warm,
Your voice makes me feel loved and not alone,
When I am nervous you know how to be calm,

I can distinguish your voice from all the crowds,
Your voice has power to melt all my clouds,

Call my name with your voice…call for me,
Scream…your screams are wild like a lion’s roar,
Echoing like sea waves racing on the shore,
Reaching for all the feelings of love stemming from my hearts core,

Whisper softly in my ears,
Comfort all my endless fears,
Bring me back to life…
Pause my passing years…………

ONLY A MOTHER KNOWS

Somebody said that a child is carried in its mother's womb for nine months,
He does not know that a child is carried in its mother's heart forever.

Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you've had a baby,

SO LONG.

When a son is born women ululate,
When he is named they dance,
After circumcision they discuss him in hushed tones,
When he becomes a warrior they pray,
After his first kill they sing dance and praise him,
And when he goes to war,
They offer sacrifices, asking the gods to keep him safe…

And so am I, a warrior going to war,
Like Busy Signal ill Missya Missya….
Like Tarrus Riley I give it up for my real friends…
I have learnt to fly, and among those wings,
Are feathers from all and sundry,
Those that loved, those that hated, those that just bxxxxxx,
But all those feathers,
Have made my wings strong, agile, steady, resilient…

So as I soar in this world,
I will have a piece of all the lovers, the haters and the bxxxxxx holding me up,
What more could a warrior need??
And when we meet, I will narrate the tales,
Of the giants I felled, the ogres I slay, of the hurdles I overcame,
And like the women back in the village,
We will dance, and make merry, and toast,
To a warrior long gone, but always forging on….
SO LONG!!!

NEVER BURNED OUT

Sometimes we do stupid stuff,
That leaves everyone around us wondering, guessing, raving,
What the XXX we were thinking,
And for a moment we can’t explain,
Not even to ourselves,
What the XXX we were doing......

Most times it passes like a wave,
Sweeping us with it, we choke, we drown,
we're hit against the hard rocks,
At times we go never to return, never to be seen,
Never to heard,
‘Burned out' I hear they call it......

Until the day we realize,
That we are still warriors,
Just like Lion King,
Who never stopped hoping,
That a brighter day would come,
But it’s never really brighter is it?
Never really better either........

You just hope that the past won’t catch up,
That it will somehow forget,
That you can run faster than the wind, if the past were it,
That someone somewhere will over look,
or make a deliberate decision,
To let things slide, bury the hatchet, out of the window…..

But until then, you can only keep hoping,
Keep living; keep running, faster than your feet can propel you,
Always looking over your shoulder, is it catching up, are you gonna fall,
Never to rise up!!!
