Love Missiles

Sunday, July 20, 2008

Anger and hatred doth put my heart asunder For the binding cords of love, my heart doth hunger In a world as fragile as pieces of china Every human tied to a self-destruct timer Where people kill people for free And there’s enough spilled blood to discolor the sea The fetus is killed before its birth It reaches heaven without passing through [...]

My people beat on drums We swallow chewing gums They call us ignorant But they know we vigilant They’ve been behind us But first place doesn’t find us Now they’re centuries ahead Our leaders beg them for bread We have killed each other Demeaned sister and brother We have lost our birthright Taken away without a fight We asked to be set free We screamed like an angry [...]

It rained, leaving the weather damp The breeze brings along brain cramp But I still roam memory-lane The only part that remains sane The fears I ever fought The tears I never sought The joys of the past The reasons they did not last The people I failed The ones I hailed The wrongs I have done The things I have none My plans for tomorrow Dodging the [...]

Which is the master? Which influences faster? The brain or the heart? Baffles even the smart Your heart says NO Your brain says YES Which way to go To avoid redress Short pain yields long pleasure Short pleasure yields long pain Advice, inspiration or peer-pressure Any option you consider main But as easy as A,B,C Simple as 1,2,3 You eventually choose neither When you choose either So why harbour worry When you’d [...]

Half Past Success

The reason for my hurting I’m not sure and neither certain Everything I hoped for Everything I groped for Slipped right through my fingers Drifted from reach and seldom lingers When I was so sure That my success was so pure Failure makes faces at me Brings weakness to each knee I knew I put in all my pressure But my pain never turned pleasure So here [...]

You make words rhyme And it takes so little time You write from your heart Even when it’s torn apart Nobody knows how you do it No evidence to prove it It’s baffling to even you It’s too good to be true It’s a part of your nature And improves with your stature You reach persons of all races You face what each faces You don’t promote [...]

There were times I thought you never mattered But you’re gone and my heart remains battered I’ve tried so hard to fight it So my pride only allows me to write it That warm, beautiful smile Erasing my fears if even for a while How u played hard-to-get But let me know you weren’t out of reach yet Times I never expect you [...]
