Look UP!!!


The clouds are lifting, the winds are whistling 
The sun will smile; her gaze will touch us once more
Filling the void within
Bridging life with untamed happiness

You may be down, crawling in the mud 
Trampled by an avalanche from hell  
Drowning in sorrow, hoping to be claimed by Hades
But my dear friend, I bid you, look up!

The past will haunt; it will try to enslave
Reminding you of failures, your grave mistakes  
Dragging you into darkness, sinking the last glimmer   
But my brother, my sister, I pray you, look up!

You may be at the bottom of the pit, spat on, despised, humiliated   
But I pray you, chin up; fight! Face your demons square
When you are down, the only way left is up
Hope is coming, look to the skies; look up!

The last beacon may be dying, despair looking friendly
Your beautiful dreams turned into dusty nightmares
Sucking the life out of you, darkening your heart, waking the monster within  
But in everything, in pained misgivings; I beseech you, look up!

From where shall our help come from?
Who will pull us from this quick sand and set us on solid rock? 
Who will wipe our tears and infect us with smiles?
Who will welcome us with open arms and kiss us goodnight?

Our help can only come from above; look up!
Hope circles the heavens; if only you will lift your chin
He will reach out; He will free you; his hands are welcoming  
Just believe and you will find your answer; LOOK UP!!!

She says I was gifted from heaven An answer to a prayer; a blessing from the most high That drew a smile, got her singing like she was high Made her dance from dawn till dawn But she couldn’t be more wrong   For I am the one who struck a pot of gold To have you gifted to me, born to you To experience the essence of your immortalised love From where do I begin, which memory do I recall first? Which hug do I ping as the warmest? The motivation, the support, the love, OMG the food I couldn’t list all even if I had an ocean of ink I remember the sacrifices you made for me Ensuring I never went to bed hungry Stayed by my side when I was unwell, pampered me like a prince And kissed me good night when I drifted into dreams I’m sorry for the hell I rained on you   I thought you were nag bug, a leech to my peace, scolded me because you could I didn’t get it then; wish I did but now I do and I'm glad you did I know you forgave, you forgot but I haven’t, I’m s...

Purity

How can I live pure, walk in His tight shoes? Follow His prints; aline my steps with His? My mind is constantly searching, seeking Wanting purification, dreaming holiness The road is webbed, the destinations undefined The options infinite, the whispers crowding What do I do? Who do I listen to? Oh! my head is exploding; sinking in thoughts I'm in my prime, my strengths are apexing I want the most from my timed existence I don't want to wail tomorrow, cursing the choices of today I want a happy tomorrow, but one question remains, HOW? I have tried, on my own I have fought But I'm losing my resolve, my will withers The temptations are strongly gaining Oh! the sweetness of the worldly pleasures But I dream of white lenin, without a mole of dent A book with glass leaves, a vessel without flaws I want my steps to glitter; my words scriptured An angel amidst; a walking perfection But the question remains, HOW? How do I resist the devil; his tempting promise? ...

Zooooooooooooned!!!!

I have always been there From genesis, I have been the shoulder The silent donkey that never tires, never brays  Yet never appreciated, never looked at I have watched, believe me, I have lived your every moment Every sorry excuse, every ridiculous lie told I have watched as they danced in and stormed out Flirting with your emotions, shutting your smile Always been your shoulder, the only shoulder The living wipe to your never drying tears My handkerchiefs, soaked, my throat, dried from consoling you I'm always there to say, "don't worry dearie, you will be fine" I have loved you in secret, dreamed of you with my eyes open Longed to make you feel like a woman and not a sex doll Wishing I could light up that drooping face Make nature jealous of my dreamed happiness But my feelings don't really matter, do they? I'm always going to be that friend who holds your hair while you puke Make your soup in the morning  after your hangover And dresses yo...
