the brightest of all worlds

The trees have all withered
The skies have gone dark
The sun has lacked radiance
Moments have been ruined
Time has been wasted
Corners have been cut
The losses have been incurred

But hear this.....
That moment my eyes beared witness
To a sight captivating and alluring
That brought the rarest wonder to my ignorant eye
So much blessing I have received
To have witnessed such a fetching sight
Of a magnificent majestic prospect
A picture to which no display could compare
Not even the sun nor the moon
Could elucidate the intricacy of it's unfailing radiance
It's shimmer that unlike any could never be an irritant

This I observe in you
The glow that projects from those finely crafted eyes
The tenderness that remains a clear picture
The love that is likened to a finely polished scripture
Arms so wide the sea can never compare to
All this my soul forever yearns for
'Tis all that quenches my heart's thirst

Even when the world has crumbled and fallen
Shattered into immeasurable broken pieces
And all the cries from the world frightens  our very soul
Audible to even the deaf and the long dead

When such has occurred
When hunger strikes, i will not desire a fine meal
When my throat is dry from thirst, even the finest wine will not suffice
When my body shivers from the cold, no garment could keep me warm

Only the luxury of your love,
The legitimacy of your promises,
The honour of your words,
Shall satisfy and block out the noise
And forever our world will remain the brightest of all worlds .

The Pain Behind the Mask

Now you see my love,
Feel it do you?
Morning till night,
My mind is filled with wonder
Of the degree of your mental capacity
The degree of your blindness is astonishing.
Funny...
When we first became acquainted
Strength and wisdom were your pillars
Now you portray a strange image
You swim in a pool of ignorance,
That is your bliss and my agony
For years you've seen the joy in me
You've bathe in my loving spirit
And now you've stripped me off of all such
Yet you insist on being oblivious to my agony.

I hear..

I'm walking where the road lacks light
My hand holds a torch for a love lost
All the years it has been steady
How is it when I hear these tempting thoughts,
These hands begin to shake?
Daring me to let the torch fall to the ground
Accusing me of cowardice, rightfully so
For I have been stuck in a fantasy world
An idea that is all but a mirage,
"Drop the torch" they compel me.
I hear whispers floating in the air
The voice of reason rises
Suddenly 'tis is all my ears can hear
"There's a much brighter light than the torch you hold"

The time has arrived
To bid farewell to the torch
To see the light at the end of the tunnel
To say "hello to a new, brighter world"

#TellMe

Tell your stories to my willing ears
Entice all my thoughts to yours
Dare me to surrender my attention to you
Don't you know what brought me here too?
My soul remains naked and starved
For I am a girl who is unnerved
Longing for your words to revive me
Widen my spirit to be like the sea
With your beautifully crafted words
Remove the fog in my heart,
That dulls  my spirit like clouds
Blocking the sun on a beautiful summer day

My heart longs for your words
My soul craves for your lyrics
My mind desires your thoughts
Fill my spirit with your words
And I'll sing joyfully with the birds.

Now....
You know what brought me here too
Tell me all I have to do
So I can hear your stories
Tell me your stories.

The Beauty of A Mask

Observe my embrace
Let it not become disgrace
Through my eyes
See the love I bear
Though you may inflict pain
So that i shed a tear
And when I have everything to lose
And nothing to gain
For all eternity
Look into my eyes
See that the love I bear,
Is enough reason to go on
Though I may lose sleep
And be awake till dawn
By morning I will be reborn
No matter how deep
My mask will remain intact
From the crack of dawn till dusk
Always see my mask
The mask of love.

Break my heart not

If this world has taken everything from me,
Know that my heart will not dare to flee,
Please stand by not on the side,
And watch pieces of my soul slide.
Even when poverty strikes,
And our souls remain starved,
Never forget all of my desires,
That you forever remain my king.

Even on a dull spring day,
When flowers dare not to bloom,
When red roses have turned grey,
And rage begins  to fill your heart,
Remember to always leave room,
For a heart surrendered to you,
Always remember what to do.
Never leave me blue,
Do not spit me out,
Promise that without a doubt,
You will break my heart not.

Always bear a loving thought,
For a heart that you caught,
So that only to you,
Completely it surrenders,
Even when your world blurs,
See the light in my heart,
From you it shall never depart,
Forever it remains yours.

Stay loyal to my heart,
Break my heart not.

To simply smile

"The thing about a smile is that it calms the soul, eases the mind, warms the heart and brings out another smile." Siphokazi

Many have walked this earth as men,
Most claiming to be comedienne,
Turning a simple task of friendship to be complex
Not aware  of their faulty judgement,
Believing to be so smart,
That they will always play a good part,
In uncovering the mysteries of the world,
Complicating the simplest of tasks,
So as to attract attention,
Forever loving the spotlight,
But nothing ever comes to light.

In all their mighty they try,
To master the simplest things,
Even if it makes them want to weep,
When they have sunk too deep,
Wishing they could cut off all strings,
Holding their wings tight,
So as to fly free without fright.

When the whole world goes into one direction,
All they desire is attention with affection,
And all they receive is nothing but rejection.

Such i have observed,
Men trying to win something so simple,
Something very well deserved,
Despite their calculations,
And all their speculations,
The key sits so visibly,
As wide as the sea,
Yet so small as a pea

Just smile and you'll have a friend in me,
And that is all you'll ever need to be.

Happy birth day my friend.
"The true mystery of the world is the visible and not the invisible.." Oscar Wilde

....just moments

There is a moment where you believe it couldn't be more perfect than what it already is.
There is a moment where you pray that perfect moment remains perfect.
Then there is a moment where  you hold your breath,
And wish for that moment to not slip away.
There is a moment where you try to preserve what's left of the moment.
There is a moment in a moment where you realize,
That the moment is gone.
There is a moment where you try to fabricate the lost moment
And then the worst moment of all,
When you you realize that the lost moment,
Is lost forever in a moment that ruined that perfect moment
And all that remains behind are series of  moments,
That continue to overshadow perfect moments
....and eventually they become nothing but moments, just moments...

Today, tonight, this moment, is the moment I realise that I love him more than words can say, more than my heart can handle, more than my head can control and more than my tears can say....with this moment I realise, he is not mine, he is something borrowed and something I do not deserve to have. This moment is the moment I learn the truth...I love him and there is nothing I can do about it,nothing to do in this moment or any other moment....and after all the knowledge I have there is one thing I want now in this world, to lie in his arms like a baby all night and hold his hands for all times.....his heart is broken about the lost love that he had and all I am doing is giving him hope that he will get her back, that he deserves her, and I write all these words to him as the pieces of my heart slowly depart away from me....it will not break, but it will shatter into million pieces and when that happens, it will all be the same again, pick it up, put it together and live on like nothing ever happened, and someday I will think about him and it will  not hurt as much.

I want to tell him, me, me, me, pick me. But I will not put myself through that again ever, I will not even speak of it, when it hurts too much I am afraid I am out of my depth here....
