Too Young To Die

As the wind continue to sway,
We hurt from the inside but the outside can't lay.
Where there is a will there is a way,
But writing a will is a perspective for it seems as the day
Where to each other we have to bid goodbye in a tough say 
For we stand too young to die.

When we sight darkness at the end of the tunnel of light
When we stand to condemn that which was upright
When we gather to critize the upright 
When,, ,,,even the taboos gets afraid of the night,
My heart sinks for in my heart I sight;
We stand too young to die.

When proportion, emotion,corruption has no contention
Where morality is a cultural notion 
Trending economic activity is corruption
The age is not a barrier to 'sips and tastes of death' consumption
And still stand and claim to be a nation
To the end of our race is where we are driven by our locomotion
I still feel,we are too young to die.

I am not planning to be a missionary
For the words I preach were erased from their dictionary
But,
I can't stop to lament
The bitter truth to accept
For we are too young to die

The mistake committed not known to them
On the suffering grid they stand at the helm
Their  bridge to the success,sit content in agony overwhelm
And the teachers ,custodians of our culture,sit under the elm
Waiting for the last breath to be their help
For them to fill after life home,
For they know we are too young to die

As the sun set,
They eagerly await to their spirits free  let
If I guessed, I  would win the bet
For the length of night don't stop the morning light
Where my paper and pen will be my armor at the night
For we stand too young to die.

Love Character

Many breakdown in tears,,but I breakdown in fear of what will happen if you depart.
Many feel low because of lost dreams and hopes but i feel low because of actualised fiction that many seem not to understand about you. 
Many cry because of the pain of love but I try not to freak due to the gain from your love. 
Many fail to love because they have been betrayed 
but i rail to love due to the emotions towards me that you have portrayed. 
Many yearn to utter words of wisdom that will be embedded in books of history but i try to engrave words of love in your heart that define who you are.

Silent Whispers

Let me hold you in my arms,tight and close like am gonna lose you or like its the last moment with you. Let me set the rhythm right,let me feel  your soft slow breath against my skin and hear each heart beat as time whines away.

The quality of wine is determined by age,
How long it has taken to brew it.
The sweetness of the moment lies in our hidden pleasures 
Of dreams so sweet but encaged in our hearts for a long time.
Let set them free as you;

Let me hold you in my arms,tight and close like am gonna lose you or like its the last moment with you. Let me set the rhythm right,let me feel  your soft slow breath against my skin and hear each heart beat as time whines away.

I won't say a word,
For my terms may  spoil the moment.
In silence let's  clear our minds,
Listen to the whispers of the wind 
But then;

Let me hold you in my arms,tight and close like am gonna lose you or like its the last moment with you. Let me set the rhythm right,let me feel  your soft slow breath against my skin and hear each heart beat as time whines away.

I promise not to insist,
And not control what the moments consist,
I ll comb your hair along its course
Down behind your ear,
But before then;

Let me hold you in my arms,tight and close like am gonna lose you or like its the last moment with you. Let me set the rhythm right,let me feel  your soft slow breath against my skin and hear each heart beat as time whines away.

I will not open past wounds,
I will dress them not with past bandages
But given a chance I ll nurse them 
With olive oil and sweet scented ointment
Draw the pain away with minor caresses
But for this to be accomplished;

Let me hold you in my arms,tight and close like am gonna lose you or like its the last moment with you. Let me set the rhythm right,let me feel  your soft slow breath against my skin and hear each heart beat as time whines away.

If you ain't comfortable,
Tell me and I ll let go,
If you feel guilty,
Tell me and I ll maintain distance,
Despite the ache in my heart
I will  bury the deep anticipation of pleasure
Bound in asking you to;

Let me hold you in my arms,tight and close like am gonna lose you or like its the last moment with you. Let me set the rhythm right,let me feel  your soft slow breath against my skin and hear each heart beat as time whines away.

Fun

The last sip I take,and can feel the intensity down my throat
I want no reminder,for that is a familiar tone in chime of the clock
I can't wait for the crow of the cock
For in a deep pool of sin I float

Beer I don't take,
But am drunk like never.
Staggering in every step
And I can't walk straight
I am sailing, yes,but in which boat?

Fun,fun,fun,fun,fun;
Fun that yields sorrow.
Fun that yields regret,
Fun that I spend all my wages on
Fun........fun I don't understand,
Fun yields happiness, but this one negates  joy.

Before  sunset,
I wanna know the whole truth set
From this trap to go let
Why do I have guilt?
Am in a cult?
I don't understand this fun?

Day

One day
My bones will be weaker
My head will hold more grey  hairs
My eyesight will be poorer
Blood will flow slowly in my body
My heart beat  will be slower
And my nerves less sensitive 
And when that day comes
I wanna be by your side
Hold your  arm through thick and thin
Stay up all night
Not counting stars, but
Looking after our kids,
Helping you count the grey hairs in your head, 
Searching everywhere  for the keys
Which you ll be hanging around your neck
And I  will proclaim with even my last breath,"you are the me I  never want to lose. "

A day will come 
When we can no longer move swiftly 
When our backs crack after every step
When we argue over where the sun rose from
When we criticise  all we do now. 
And when that day come, 
I wanna move no more
But rather be forever by your side
Be your help and support 
For together  we will bear every step. 
I pray that we  see so many sunsets
Thay someday when we join the stars
Someone will stay out all night to watch them. 
And for all we do now, 
Be the favourite  bedtime  stories tou our grandchildren. 
For when that day come,I will still proclaim  with even my last breath, "you are the me i never wanna lose."
