Father

2011-01-11T10:16:00.000-08:00

So much in our lives, you have taught us
And through your pains, you have showed us the light
The love that you give, it surrounds us
The true power shines through with full might

No pain was too much for your soul
You tried not to show how it would feel
Swallow your agony, turn the tears to a laugh
So quickly you could help someone heal

You’ve showed that when people do wrong
To forgive them and to carry on
To keep a smile on your face and be strong
Then all that once went wrong, will be gone

Your wisdom surpasses your years
You’re a teacher, a father and friend
Through you, we’ve learnt to confront our fears
So now, through god, good wishes to you we send

How can we tell you that in every way
In everything, and in everyday
Of how proud we are to say you’re ours
Of how these seeds, you planted, have flowered

From what we are, to what we will be
Together we will walk for eternity
Love it happens for as long as it takes
Yet love from daughters to a father is a bond that never breaks

It’s not my fault

2011-01-11T10:03:00.000-08:00

I see your face through a scattered tear
Just like my future, misty and unclear
The silence which falls on this forgotten night
Shouts loud in my ear, in its blackness of sight

My aching heart, so torn and broken
Was all but shattered when you spoken
The memories which turn this breath to hate
Are apologies to remind me of my own selfish fate

My diseased mind which haunts me still
Are but swept away, with yet another pill
You think anxiety breeds no less
So you feel the wheel turns to happiness

This carriage, this body which I ride upon
With one strong blow, can all be gone
And the air in my lungs, it escapes me
And with one strong tug, can then take me

If I ride on this carriage, with foolish intent
The wheels will get weaker, begin to damage and dent
And soon enough your movement it halts
And all there is to blame, is your devilish faults.

The City Echo

2011-01-11T09:53:00.000-08:00

Nourished prospects and cloudy towns
Built from brick of red and grey
Buildings scattered, choking the luscious grounds
These constant images of everyday

Flowers and gardens, and an air of grace
Etched against a backdrop of blue and white
With patches of green from place to place
Mixes of colour, stretching to great heights

Veins of passengers, travelling night and day
In windy days, storms, sunshine and rain
For destinations to work, rest and play
Journey’s riddled with frustration and pain

With billions of feet passing over concrete and stone
Each walk of life, each story awakes
Of chance encounters and people you meet
Of business endeavours to hearts that break

Scattered coloured faces wash the busy streets
And over bridges and roads, to keep the energy alive
Underneath the earth, this buzzing heats
Taking you over, connecting you to the vibe

At night the streets are paved with lights
Like a human body, this city pulsates
Streets of glamour, of energy and sights
Like a beating heart, that never deflates

Angel Prayer

2011-01-11T09:35:00.000-08:00

Summer fading, winters gone

Leaves falling and summer sun

Seasons changing uncontrollable

Forces of nature whisper unknowing

The drama of life and its spinning intoxication

Is all but a dream, just a constant fabrication?

Souls encountering and feeling and learning

On the quest for discovery, constantly yearning

Colours, magnetic that spill over the land

Souls forever protected in the lord’s almighty hand

Within this fabric we endeavour to be

Happy, protected, guided and free

Flowing in love, friendship and dreams

Entangled in honesty good wish’s it seems

Dear fairies around, place your gaze on someone

Show her your love, and teach her right from wrong

We angels need your guidance to

To teach us what we have to do

For we misplace our wings and loose our way

That is why we call to you when we pray

Let me rest my tired mind, and drift into a sleep

The images of this beautiful world, in my soul to keep

I give to you this special place, here within my heart

It’s here for you, when you need, from the end till the start

Soul Mate Melodies

2010-01-07T06:31:00.000-08:00

There is no poetic justification
For this emotion I’m about to describe
For some it happens slowly
Yet sometimes it can’s survive

When this emotion
Is found to be pure
And the feeling you get is so rich with love
So powerful and addictive
That you crave more
With innocence so strong
Can only be found from above

Whenever you feel there is no one to trust
This emotion can bring comfort and joy
Its protection and care is always a must
Something which could bring hate or begin to annoy

When two people, they want companionship
And when together, their thoughts they fuse
This emotion bursts open, it of course is true friendship
A feeling so precious, it cannot be abused

For this to live on, our friendship must be
Where love sees no boundaries, no distance, or fear
Because this friendship is strong between you and me
The reasons of which I must explain this so clear

My message to you is don’t doubt how you feel
There will always be, my friendship to you
Once you have accepted, this love you will seal
Cause I will always be here especially for you.

There was a special someone
Who turned to me and said
Hold out your hand and walk with me
I will heal, where you have bled

The force which drive me onwards
Was the light, which lit my soul
It carried me in the darkness
And opened paths to my final goal

And on my journey, her footsteps tread
So silently, yet guiding
We walk in joyous leaps and motions
Our laughter forever binding

And so much our souls have aged
So old before our day is done
To experience so much of tears and joy
To be one with the eternal sun

To you, my sister of grace
Whose essence dances in the air
I give to you the dawn of thought
My honesty, my love, my care

Crushed

2009-12-16T06:09:00.000-08:00

I take one journey, hop onto the next
Never knowing what destination awaits me
Stir of anxiousness inside my belly, excitement, fear, worry
Drowning my senses
Echo’s whisper inside my mind, swaying me from side to side
Never brings me peace, but keeps my sleep restless
Keeping me small as I run out of time
Flowing so passionate for love to give you
Never being selfish to the feelings I feel
Being your shoulder, your strength, your shelter
Never showing you that this bleeding shoulder needs to heal
Hold you, so natural, so calm and so soothing
Breaking down barriers that were once carved in stone
Do I know who I am, how to get there, to become
When I look in your eyes, I know I am home
Pray that someday you will feel that love to
I long to be with you and I long for your touch
Until that one moment I will hold you so dear
Even if this young and naive heart of mine feels crushed.

Go where God sends you

2009-12-15T03:56:00.001-08:00

Like the stars in the night
I shall look upon and say
Dear father protect me from the dark, and carry me from harm
Take away my silent tears and make my feelings calm

Upon the wind you echo words
And bring them to my ear
My child there is but one love
You have nothing no longer to fear
For I join the ancestors who left before, and together we wipe your tears
Us angels are but moments away
Your prayers we want to hear

Do not miss me, as I travel home
For I am everywhere for you
I have brought you together
In harmony, strength and love
To give thanks to our creator, the great healer from above

I am the tree that bares fruit
With this love and true power
A soul who is strong, protective, dominant yet upstanding

I am the birds in the sky
Sucking sweet nectar from flowers
Singing sweet melodies of my heart, so demanding

I am the heat from the sun
Shining down upon my loved ones
So unselfish, so honourable
Like my love forever expanding

I am the earth upon the ground
Keeping your feet steady
A father who is proud
Standing shoulder to shoulder as I’m standing

I am the pillar of strength who has held a heavy load
And these shoulders have begun to weaken
For this journey has been a dusty road
But my families love has been the beacon

You will hear me sing, play music and rejoice
Through your laughter and smiles, is heard
It’s the power of our hearts, which will help me re-find my voice
And togetherness is always what I preferred

But in the final breathe I take
I pray to the souls left behind
Please listen to the hearts own song, not what was in my mind

For I will never leave you
If you follow your souls and heart
For I will still protect you
So you see, we will never be apart.

At the doorway of choices: Setting the Stage

2009-12-15T02:43:00.000-08:00

Spoken words of envy and breathing in words of hate
Taking other people’s malice, in the interest of sanity’s sake
Words of peace, do not fail me now, when love seems so distant away
I am stronger each time, when fear takes me over, I can stand for one more day
An audience waits as I take to the stage, and I see in their eyes, thoughts of jealousy, so now I begin to rage
I’m scared and I panic and question this brave new choice
I beg to myself and my audience ‘please help me find my voice’
I choke up further and my mouth begins to dry
My eyes turn to darkness and my soul begins to cry
I walk away with their laughter surrounding
With every step I’m still questioning and deciding
Should I really be here, is this my actual calling,
Or is my fear engulfing me, is that why I’m stalling
Dislike of rejection from people without power
Continually refusing to let this hope within me flower
Faded strength fortuitously overwhelms my dreams
Was this all just an illusion, a nightmare or a vision it seems
The lights fade on my stage and my heart
My stomach clenches and butterflies begin to start
On a stage by myself, I feel vulnerable and cold
This feeling intensifies, becomes stronger and bold
The stage opens possibilities, dreams and chances
It’s like an amplifier, where my potential enhances
But the stage I face loves nothing but fear
That is why I stand here with nothing but a tear.

Learning Love

2009-12-15T02:42:00.000-08:00

When once this heart lived in a darkened place
No ounce of love or trust could be traced
This journeying of souls that travels
Brings us closer to the story that unravels
As the previous chapter fades away
I speak to you of the following days
Of when this broken heart it sang
And all the bells in heaven rang
My heart fell in love with another
I took to it, like a baby to a mother
The sweetness of this love, I found
Fades away as this past in me is bound
This bitterness of the past left behind
Now it’s up to love for me to find
But no matter if this love is unrequited
Or how much this soul of mine will fight
All that matters is he’s taught me how to love
And taught me there are beauties up above
Held by our love, we started strong
But now what has happened, what went wrong
Did we slip so quickly, out of each others arms
Do we no longer hold hands, each palm to palm
Has our love disappeared, and gone forever
All amounted to my one fear, to all we endeavour
If your heart does not love, then turn me away
Then there will be nothing else I can say
However, no matter if this love is unrequited
Or how much this soul of mine will fight
All that matters is he’s taught me how to love
And taught me there are beauties up above
Is it because we have to learn
How fragile love can be
That we are being tested so equivocally
If that means I’m losing
Don’t give up when you can help me to
If we can stand the test of time
I know that you and I will be fine
But if that love is unrequited
And of how much this soul of mine will fight
I know deep down you’ve taught me how to love
And that there are beauties in me which you can love
If we are not meant to be
Then I wish peace and love for you for eternity.

Spiritual Mobility

2009-12-15T00:54:00.000-08:00

Ride upon with glorious intent, ride along with more than repent
Hold tight these reigns, chase past your pains
In this misty land, where the road is not clear
Use more than your eyes, use your courage built from fear
You’ve travelled relentless, without remorse or regret
You become senseless, without discourse or upset
Yet ride high above your past, ride with energy, no longer will I be last
As I race arm to arm with demons waiting, my mind begins contemplating
Pride will blind me, jealousy will choke me, yet all will fade away if I find love within me
Demons eyes stare deep on the back of my neck, and its tempting words at my brain, do peck
Ride on young traveller, ride high above your past, ride stronger, ride with your heart, and ride more fast
This race will not be over, so don’t give up no more, for there are demons around you, who are closing the door
Anxiety will drown you, stress will dull you, yet will all go away if you use the power within you
So trust in this chariot, which you will call life, trust in the wheels that hold you upright
Don’t look back, or you’ll fall on your back, don’t taste the fear, or they will attack
Hold the reigns constant, let love drive you on
For you are riding alone now, and these demons are gone.

I prayed that god would help me find my way

2009-11-15T07:44:00.000-08:00

I prayed that god would help me find my way,
A way through the darkness,
Through the suffering and the pain,
God showed me sweet kindness
Of how to get through the day
A way to make the day start happier again
I asked of miracles to keep a smile on my face
To keep me in god’s graces
And to always keep me in a brighter place
God picked out an angel to keep me from harm
Someone who’s tender, accepting and fair
The one to create balance, when my life isn’t calm
So trusting, so protective, attentive with care
So whenever I fear what this world has to offer
I never have to look too far away
I simply call you, because there is no other
Who god has sent to me, to get me through my day.
