BEAUTIFUL MESS

You know...
In a clutter of things,
It's really hard to find what you're looking for
But that's the beauty. In a morning sky
With the sun rising in it
All you can see is the perfect picture
But does it consist of just one color?
Is it all perfectly aligned in straight line?
Does it seem like it's fine?
No. It's a mess.
It's a colorful, chaotic sky
And that's why it's beautiful.
The same can be said for the setting sun
For when that time is done
All you can see is a canvas painted black.
Oh the rough sees with shades of blue
The shades of green on leaves with morning dew
But best of all...shades of her.
She is a sea.
She is the leaves.
She is the chaotic sky.
She's a mess, but she's perfect like that
One strand of her hair stands weird
Her dress fits her imperfectly
Her mascara is thicker on one eye
But that doesn't stop you from drowning in her eyes
That doesn't stop you from dancing with her
Does it?
No for she is an angel
And in front of her, we all demons
And which demon wouldn't want to dance with an angel?
Exactly.
Get absorbed in her mess, don't try and clean it up
For then the beauty is lost.

PUTTING OUT THE FLAMES

Before a few months ago
I had never heard anyone greet me by saying peace
But now when I think of it...
It's actually very much needed
Say peace how much ever you want
At the start of a conversation
At the end of one too
Between anything you may do
Because all those behind heavens gate
Can see the world burning in the flames of hate
What joy is found in taking ones life?
Is it pleasure or guilt?
To destroy all the homes built
To create among people a sense of fear
To make them feel loss, cry painful tears
To say it all in the name of God
And call everyone else a fraud
Who are you to take all the shots
On what's right and what's wrong
Who are you to declare war
On a place that just found peace
Who are you to take millions of lives
And claim it as a sacrifice
Who are you...
Just who are you
Hiding behind that damn mask
So not one knows your identity
Covering your face
Because you know you're a disgrace
Well I'll tell you this now, Walk away
For there will come a day
When peace finally wins
And when that day comes
All those who tread upon this land
Will walk together hand in hand

NATURES MASTERPIECE

Have you even noticed
How many instances of love we see in nature?
We see how dearly that stars love the night
Because when it's dark, they spread their light
We see how dearly the sea loves the shore
Sharing it's water and much more
We see how moon loves the sea
Kissing it before it takes its place in the sky
We see that the moon
Makes the ocean sway and swoon
We see how the clouds chase the sun
Even though she's already gone by
We see how the wind plays with the leaves
Making them dance with joy
We see that the sun loves the moon so much
That it sacrifices itself every night
While still spreading its light
We see how much the the trees love the ground
Trusting them with their roots, their life
We see that love is present all around
From the sky to the ground
And in our hearts too, can be found
It's just maybe we need to dig a bit deeper
Swim to the bottom of our hearts
And unlock this cage to let out the love
After all,
We too are mother natures creations
We are each a master piece
On show to this would of ours
We hold within us special powers
Power to love beyond belief
Power to care beyond our capacity
Power to be free
And to be the best creation we can possibly be

ERASED BY TIME

When time moves on
So do you
And all the things that made you smile
And all the things that made you laugh
They all just seem to fade away
It's just like, on that one day
When you open your memory book
And you try to take a look
It's all incomplete
It's like we each have an ink pen to write with
That fades away after some time
It's like the pages are meant to be filled
But you don't get to choose what stays
You don't get to choose those days
You don't get to choose if it's happy or sad
Whether you were anxious or mad
It all just disappears
Along with those silent tears
Along with those lost fears
It all vanishes into thin air
And no matter if we think it's fair
Life really doesn't care
For time has moved on
And so should we.

THE CONCRETE JUNGLE

   I woke on a footpath
   The hard concrete under my body
   The sunlight was creeping in...
   I opened my eyes and saw that I was in a jungle
   A concrete jungle.
   The buildings towered over me
   I felt like a caged bird, never to be free
  And while I searched for just a sign of life
   I found none
   Not even one
   And I felt like a prisoner who forgot
   To escape on the only boat we found
   And so I sat on the ground
   And stared into blank space
   Wondering if this was the end of the human race
   I got into a building
   And I locked out the day light
   And created an artificial night
   Might as well, seeing that everything around
   Ruined Mother Nature, the ruler of our sacred ground
   I thought about when I could see the blue sky
   But that's a time that's already gone by
   I thought about a time when grass was green
   And a dull gray wasn't the only color seen
   When the wind would play with my hair
   And we wouldn't fight for clean air
   But hey! We've had our chance of fun
   And now that time is done
   For we ruined what we got from the earth
   We took our mothers last breath...
   And that lead to her death.

THE SILENT CRY

There's a kind of lost
That's like being found...
But what if I'm not found?
What if I get lost?
Lost among my own thoughts
Lost among my fears
Drowning in my tears
Air, a rare commodity
For the water fills my lungs
And suddenly I'm taking in my last breath
And the last step is death
What if I get lost...
What if there's no hand
To pull me up and help me stand
To tell me that I'm worth it
Worth anything...
Can no one hear me cry?
I cry for help all day
Because I can't find my way
I'm lost.
Someone put me in a cage
And threw the key
They cut off my wings
And now I'm no longer free
This cage...it's sort of like my heart
Solid on the outside but empty on the inside...
And not a person wants to make me whole
I guess I'll befriend the moon
And the stars of the night
Though they can't hear me cry...
My silent cry.

OVERCOMING THE DARKNESS

The night.
My enemy, my friend
My companion
Lend me your ears
I come to tell you about my problems
Listen, and help me
You are the cause of my fears
Yet you wipe away my tears
You wrap me in the blanket of the dark
And on my soul you have left your mark
But why then, do I still fear you?
I think it's because of the love
You share with the thoughts in my head
The ones that come when I'm lying on my bed
The ones that make me want to scream
The ones which I wish were just a dream
Oh silent night!
Why must you creep in to my thought
The ones which I have always fought
Why must you come and vanquish my light
Only during the darkness of the night?
I feed you my silent tears
My ever lasting fears
And yet you decide to chew on my soul
Which, to begin with, was never a whole
Please, leave me all alone
I'll face this world on my own
But I'll face it like the stars shining bright
Putting out the darkness and spreading light
I'm warning you, fear me
Run at the thought of my name
For I will put the light in your eyes
And you will forever remain  in the skies
