A Once Proud African Warrior

A once proud  African warrior 
Shield and spear in  hand 
Tall stood he, A mesmerizer 
Owner of his own land 

A once proud African mother
Hoe and maize in in her hand 
Tall stood she, Providing her children with cover
Owner of her own land

Now a beaten down man 
Poverty and indignity in his hand 
Can only dream of being a warrior
Slave in his own land 

Now a beaten down women
Hunger and indignity in  her hand 
Can only dream of her own soil
Slave in her own land.

I hope that a once proud nation, still has hope
and free themselves from this iron rope.

Follow My Whispers

Listen, Oh Listen, so softly it said     
             Open your heart now, Magical days lie ahead
             Gentle follow my whispers, so light and temperate like the fire fly
             Flickering and sparking in the night sky

             Feel, Oh Feel my affectionate and tender care
             And follow my whispers if you dare
             My love ever so graceful by your side
             Comforting you in days of despair and divide

              See, Oh See, my guiding light 
              Giving you strength to take flight
              And follow my whispers that fill your ears
              And I will never let you go, no matter how dark the years

              Love, Oh Love, all that is dear to you
              And this love ten times will return to you
              And follow my whispers even if it leads you in the dark
              And trust my guidance and you will no doubt leave your mark.

The Journey

I have journeyed across the vast expanse 
 To find a home that will cherish my dance
 From above I gazed at the planet earth
 Blue and welcoming I sprung forth into birth. 

 I explored wholeheartedly my new home
 Found wondrous beings on the roam
 Different colors, multitude of shades 
 What magnificence life has made

 Eyes of brown, blue and green
 Never before I had seen
 The radiant glow of those inimitable smiles
 Guided my quest for many miles

 I met you and you met me 
 And wondered, what could we be 
 We searched our heart and we searched our soul.
 In there we found, together, we are whole

Vincent

Mesmerized by his canvas, I fell into a deep silence.
 And felt the pain that stirred in his heart
 Oh, how he loved the simple peasants and captured their brilliance
 It was in his strokes he found a magical craft

 Any price placed on his exquisite creations
 Left a deep scare on his soul
 To that which is sold is no longer free
 To that which is left free on the dreams of time, remains whole

 In the days of your life, they called you insane
 Oh, what have they taken from you, Vincent?
 Your Glory perhaps, perhaps your fame.
 You gave them your soul, in wondrous magnificence. 
 On that starry starry night...
