I was once in love

And my heart was broken

Love is synonymous with pain

For this reason

Let me be scared.

I used to trust my best friend

Until he betrayed me

And you want me to trust you

For this reason

Let me be scared.

I was taught

“The truth will set you free”

And I was hated for saying it

For this reason

Let me be scared.

With a dark soul

Will I see heaven.

I don’t want to perish in hell.

For this reason

Let me be scared.

The present

When you are craving for something new,
And you are told there is nothing new under the sun.
You want to live a life of purpose,
And you are told all is vanity.

You crave to be remembered
And realise no one cares about history.
We know were we come from
Yet we don’t know where we are going

It seems to rule out the purpose of existence,
Yet we all have to live in the present.
This is the only time you are in control, act like a president,
For meaning of life is understood in the present.

Boys will be boys

Give them toys

They will play

Girls will be girls

Give them dolls

And they will learn to care

Boys will be boys

Give them a ball

They will make football teams

Girls will be girls

Give them ball

They will make netball teams

Men will be men

Give them motivation

They will create technology

Women will be women

Give them motivation

They will create a multinational network.

Moments

We all have those moments

When we thrill with no comments

When time is frozen like ice

The world seem not to exist

Except for the chemistry of joy.

Our hearts beat like drums

Our inner souls flourish

To find that purpose to live

Our focus is polished

In that timeless space

No place exist beyond pleasure

We yearn for that endless leisure.

Cameras can’t capture the tremendous feeling

When we are thrilled to touch the ceiling.

This is a timeless space we don’t want to exit

Let us not wait for them to visit us

Let us work to create them

For they make us feel alive.

When I am  given freedom, I flourish

When I am made Queen

I make you feel like a king

When I am loved, I shine like a star.

I can be a product of your desire.

Prepare a house, I prepare a home

Prepare a garden, I prepare a delicious dish

Give me children I will bless them.

I can multiply your joy.

When I am impressed I tell the world

When I am broken I shut down your world

When I am  made angry I shout at you.

I can be your doom and gloom.

I am a lady I don’t want to lie

Just be conscious of what you feed me

For I reproduce what I am fed.

Its important you know before we wed.

“All men are dogs”

Says the women

Who never found good men.

Am I different from their planet?

Yet I found a good man.

“All men are the same”

Says the women

Who keep attracting the same type of men

Am I different from their planet?

Yet I found a good man.

” Men don’t change”

  Says the women

  Who don’t give them a proper reason to

  Am I different from their planet

  Yet I changed a man.

Love worlds apart

Humans and mermaids

A divide between the land and the seas

I am far in the north

And you are far in the south

Such is life for you and me.

Same earth different worlds

How can we be compatible?

We are separated by society.

How did we fall in love,

Love escapes whenever we get closer,

As if we are not attracted to each other

Yet I crave for my significant other.

We have tried and failed,

Was our love meant to be.

Attached to me is still a memory of you

A memory that remains afresh as if its new

I am still wondering what I am going to do

I want to break from society and become brave for you,

I want to defy rules  and sacrifice to be with you.

Own your man

Drug him with love

Slap him with care

Kill him with laughter

Punch him with trust

Hammer his head with motivation

Explode his ego with humbleness

Attach his heart to you with super glue

Lock him in a fortress of protection.

Be persistent as a virus

Bake him in an oven of prayer

Peel his insecurities like onion layers

Panel beat him with courage.

Destroy every trace of hate

For you to start on a clean slate

Serve him with a new clean plate.

He is already yours, own your man
