Since I gave you this heart of mine, its not the way it used to be.
The road I left behind and all those memories.
Like a voice from the past, when you called out my name
Life was moving way too fast, only memories remain.
Chorus
There's no turning back down that road that leads me back to you.
There was no place left to go, and nothing I could do.
And no matter how hard I try I just cannot let you go.
When you look into my eyes, we will be the last to know.
Now nothing that you say will make me change by mind.
There is no turning back down that road I left behind.
Holding on to those memories, Ive been crying all these tears
If only you would come back to me..I wish that you were here.
Letting go of yesterday--all these days have passed me by.
Some how we will find our way, but still I wonder why
We are holding on to what we have ..yet time keeps moving on
Letting go of the past, now yesterday is gone.
Repeat Chorus
I lay here beside you
listening to the pattern of your breathing
wanting to become one with it
wanting to drown myself in each beat
erasing my unhappiness
I breathe deeply
trying to stifle my tears
as wetness softly hits your chest
you always wanted more
why couldn't you be happy with us
with moments like this
Quiet weep
This inspiring song strongly reinforces our global beliefs, originating from the depths of Africa. The chorus has gained considerable popularity online. While some may argue that it is more radical than spiritual, I respectfully disagree. It resonates deeply with those who hold these beliefs
“No turning back” comes with a lot of meaning, behind this chorus line
I know of a lot of Genz who do believe in religion
But to see how they react to the chorus “I have decided to follow Jesus
Make us believe that we can conquer the devil.
They took up, they crossed and followed thee
Was it the beat in the songs or the lyrics that inspired so many
Of them to get up and dance along?
As poets, we might refer to this as zigging and zagging,
As Genz will probably say, free up your minds
I would say trust the song, not the singer
Distressing without demonstrating.
Camping without thinking,
Moving gracefully without political approvals
Let them see the youth at their best.
And more things as the Caribbean would
They come to play. No turning back
Some had there chance
For them was bad. Dance
Hope was ature vote
Fight was no joke
Now that we,re back on the rack
That's a fact
No
Turning Back
Now, you’re too far gone.
It’s no use pretending what's been done.
I too now, am too far gone.
There are no bridges left to burn, it’s best we don't recall.
It is such a long way down, far, so far for all to fall.
Too much trouble now, no turning back at all.
Can you . . . hear me?
Can you . . . feel me?
Is your smile spreading thin?
As the end is rushing in.
The day is done, the blinds are drawn,
The sounds of afternoon are gone.
You, stay and watch the sun fade away,
As I drift from the day, out of your way.
No turning back once our affair begins;
surrendering...the only choice there is.
The hunter and the hunted, we like twins,
bind close together to create our bliss.

This is a "Rithimus Divisa", taken from the poem "I Surrender",
written on August 7, 2016
Sometimes, I think of yesterday,
those young days so wild and carefree;
of fun and play.
When I could go astray,
and I knew nothing of scary;
and I had met love- my prince charming.
Oh, George was a real bad boy,
and this girl knew nothing of worry;
each day was joy.
George was no choirboy,
my time with him a journey;
oh, I was full of love and deep yearning.
I was so ready to follow him,
but, my parents said, NO, firmly!
Oh, loved his grin . . .
Those days, I now keep within,
my love feelings I had to bury;
but these are the days that keep swirling.

A bottle of Hennessy and a bag of weed
I like my medication sour I’m from a different breed
A mask on my face I feel like Assassins creed
I need my brain solid as Concrete
I’m about to perform a crime of greed
Left with no option my family I must feed
They will judge but to me this is an important deed
Something I badly need
We approach the bank at a slow speed
Everything is going to plan as we agreed
Guns on our laps as we proceed
I am a stand up guy so I took the lead
Bang!Bang! Bullets pierced through the door , bodies lay helpless as they bleed
Others started to Plead
But even this could not impede
And we kept moving without heed
To be continued..............................
So I fell
Off
Awhile back
And
Now I’m clean
No
Turning back
Your smell, kiss, laughter, conversations......is all
I've known for five years. You have become part
of what I love and experience. Sometimes we are
at each other's necks emotionally,
only to reminisce the journey we've walked together
to find out what's really is falling in love.
I'm not ready to give up on us;
giving up on you is giving up on love -
giving up on myself.
We'll continue blending in each other's baggage,
until time somehow makes them light.
In the next train of my existence,
I want to see you seated next to me;
you're the only company who makes the journey
bearable, mysterious, and enjoyable.

Since I gave to you this heart of mine
It's not the way that it used to be
Looking for something I could not find
Living in a mystery
There's a love that I feel for you
When you look into my eyes
There is nothing that I can do
You've got me hypnotized
Could this be love that I feel
I guess I'll never know
Our love has just got to be real
I could never let you go
Chorus
Now all my love goes out to you
Since I gave away this love of mine
There is no turning back
Down that road I left behind
I can't live without you
I'm not telling you no lie
All that I want to do
Is to be by your side
Our love is on fire
It burns into my soul
This love could never die
It is burning out of control
Our love it means so much to me
No one could ever take it away
In my heart this love that I feel
As the night turns into day
repeat chorus
No Turning Back
This moment waited for eternity to get here.
His ancestors saw this sacred space between heaven and earth
This space between danger and the unseen.
When the madness stopped
then he stopped to wonder and kept on
A seeker with clouded gaze.
standing alone
armed with a loss of ignorance.
His a warrior’s heart possessed nothing else left behind
and no turning back his kind.
we came to far
to get where we are
those sit in a bar
and have plan
stop stop our success band
can be can
its a fact
THERE' NO
TURNING BACK
I close my eyes
And I can see the golden eye looking at me. I think to myself
“Why me.”
Then I stop,
Because I remember that it can read my thoughts.
The golden eye
Is like a lace wing with yellow eyes
That can see everywhere.
It is the all knowing eye.
I try to run
Because I know it needs me for something,
Even though I don’t know what,
It can’t be good.
It never is.
I start running faster,
But there’s no escaping.
The golden eye will just get inside my head.
I can hear it
Whispering something
In an ancient language. It starts getting louder and louder
Until
I am on my knees screaming.
Then it’s silent,
I’m silent.
I get up
And start walking,
But it’s not me walking,
The golden eye is pulling me back.
I try to fight it
But it’s too strong.
There is no turning back now.
It’s over!
on the right track
the pass on the rack
the cards or stack
i know that
here's way its at
this is a fact
there's
NO TURNING BACK
