they came, they stayed,
they built these walls,
they built this hall,
with wood, with rocks,
flowers bloomed, leaves shedded,
spring came, seeds spreaded,
two to many,
they blowed,
with west winds, with east tides,
they've lived, they've died,
under that roof down by riverside,
I've seen many flowers bloom since then,
they've all withered now,
those pillars have fallen,
these walls have crumbled,
only I stand,
only I grow,
only I remember,
those flowers down below.

I told you right?
That love and support would make me alright.
Didn't even cared about the shedded blood,
Because all I ever wished was to be loved.
The bar of expectations was literal below the ground,
Until someone came and actually made me feel found.
Earlier, I used to get lost,
And kept waiting while getting covered in the frost.
Someone came and broke that shell,
And pulled me out of that bleak hell.
My soul was hurting,
From the cheerfulness this world was flaunting.
This was coming from someone,
Who has lived in darkness and got it's entire soul burned.
The bruises still hurt,
But somehow they seem to disappear when someone leans it's comfort.
Words won't be enough to talk about drastic change,
And an uncertain life arrangement,
The change, a single thing brought in my life,
When I was on the verge of tearing it apart with the knife.
I'll always be grateful to that someone who removed me from this phase of dark and blue,
Didn't really needed any therapy for that colorblindness because my cure has always been you.

I have a twin
we were born in November
no one could see her,
since she has hidden from their sights
under my body and mind.
Come and go,
when all the vowers of staying disappeared,
my tears shedded- she’s still here;
strong as she was, I knew
her grief evermore outgrew.
So young we were,
I could call nothing mine, but her (my twin).
She taught me to shelter in reads
she taught me no cry for bleed
she taught me to be a lying narcissist.
Bad or good, things she did
forsaken or unforgiven; accomplice
I can’t get rid of it, cause
for good I’m her twin, and
she’s my soul.

Loved someone to the end of eternity,
Loved so hard that, broked into pieces
Didn't utter a single word when looked him in someone else arms
Even the shedded tears, told the story of his brutal betrayal,
Heart cried tears of blood but his name did not even come to my tongue.
Weeped so much that this tender heart turned into stone
And the tears that used to be shed have become so dry today
that when he came in front
So these eyes didn't even feel like crying

Brethren I write to you
I Understand I wronged you
And did not believe in you
I gave the enemy my ear
Forgetting what was our nia
A wish that our ancestors shedded blood for
Disunity easily scattered it
My heart is bleeding not knowing when it will end
My eyes are flooding with tears
My arms are trembling with fear
When I realize I pointed a gun at my brothers
A wise man once said I’m not free
Until my neighbors land is liberated
Let’s join our hearts and hands to build a bridge
That will bring everyone to the light and liberty
The hands that will flee the enemy,
The enemy that have occupied our territories
They made us starve while we have food in the farms
Tanzanite in the mines and oil in the field
Not only oil and fish in lakes and ocean.

i found, i felt and i lost
in a way that kept me incomplete.
its presence was like a shooting star
beautiful, blazing and impeccable
but vanished in a jiffy
like it was mine just to see
but never to belong to.
i look for it every night
in the darkest corner of heavens
in the brightest brilliant specks of light.
i run in hysterics
chasing the infinite void
just to find you smiling
in the shedded teardrops
of my hopeless heart.

I am being followed, and not by a human. I'm being hunted by my regret and resentment. They stalk my every move. From the morning when I open my eyes, to the night glimmer of a moon's shedded light. I'm accompanied by a cloud of shame, it hovers low reminding me why it's hard to say your name. I exhale hope and inhale sadness, only to crowd my inside with guilt and blackness. I'm not going through this storm alone but it feels like this guilt I carry, is only my own. So I choose to stay away until my clouds are no longer grey, and my breath is finally filled with hope for bright days.

He was broken by hard times
No one could see
Because he was good in act like these
Working to fulfill a dream
To be a star the only thing,
Spend years to be it
That only thing for him became everything.
But the vicious industry
Shedded his only dream
He was feeling left out
There starts the hard time.
In his loud laugh and relief sighs
There's murmurs of depression and anxiety,
The irony strikes when he was walking in crowds
With absent mind.
Nothing can heal the pain that won't mend
The suffering , the pain and ache
Now he feels like it's his end
Grudges are held
Feeling were hurt, the obsession he's been working for
Now nothing he felt
So he let go everything
Without saying a goodbye.

Father God in You I hope to find
That Your words stay written on my mind
Etch onto my heart
Your infinite wisdom on how to live
Let Your words nourish my soul
Fueled by the love that to me You did give
Father God in You I pray to see
All the You desire me to be
Irradiate, illuminate
Let Your words light my way
Intensify and modify me
Every single day
Father God from You I desire to receive
Your Holy Ghost power so that I can proceed
To be on a mission for the Great Commission
To be your fervent servant with Your permission
So satiate and saturate me
With the Holy Scriptures
Let those anointed words percolate in me
Until I get the full robust gospel picture
Father God in You I pray to find
That Your blessed words stay written on my mind
Cover me with the sacred blood
That was shedded on Mt. Calvary
Consecrated me with Your grace
Confer unto me Your mercy
I now bow down to Your magnificence
Your awesomeness and Your power
And hope to one day stand with You
In your Heavenly Tower
So let those words in the Bible
Remain with me til the end of time
Lord may Your anointed words
Stay written on my mind

Rising rays of warmth
Pampered buds in cradle
Snow beads of the mountain
Shedded tears of joy.
Bloomed flowers scented
Alluring fragrance to breeze
Dancing petals longed
For bea's to sip the nectar.
Dawn chorus on branches
Made songs grow in heart
Myriad of dreams sprout
In the inner lake of mind.
Ripples hugged shore
By spreading joy of dawn
Mystic morning rested....
On the lap of eternal spring.
Lazy eyes peeped into....
The crowing glory of dawn
Smile etched on lips
Soothed the soul for ever.

On a rainy day,
I find myself under the dark sky
Wandered thoughts and sleepless nights
When I look up to the sky
The clouds are heavy
Buried dreams and obscured ache
They want to blast and to free
To curtail the heap of memories
Hidden stresses and ceased tears
With a flash, they screamed
Their shedded tears kissed the earth
Drowned wishes and an empty heart

Curved and coiled
in a holy matrimony unexpectedness
cut out of a blue and reddish steam
esteem rises
plugged into the play
of our space begotten time
after time will pass us down
Curved by gravity
of your darting gaze
made are the clouds
where the sun comes up
and keeps us blind
So we talk the walk
in the heightened spirals
spirit’s tail’s game
Echoes in yet another pattern
bent unbroken, kept tight
like a daze in a haze flow
are the speechless crowds
within us
Beyond a single word’s reach
to cut the length between
and bleach the page
within
to teach us in
on how to redeem our esteem
out of this thickening cloud
solidifying tar
and the petty gravity of its sticky habits
shedded skins

A little girl almost a teenager,
That was me you see.
Living in a thin society,
looking in the mirror and all I see,
is pounds and pounds shedded on me.
This thin society was my very essence,
the only control I had of myself was not to eat.
The struggle to be thin and look like a supermodel,
instead of being myself.
I was trying to be someone I wasn't.
Years went by till my bones were fragle,
wearing baggy clothes so no one would know.
No eating for me, just wanting so desperately to be thin.
A thin society isn't what we need,
being free from the stigma is exactly what a little girl like me needs.

I wish I had the wings to fly!
And go far away from this world of lie,
True False My eyes My ears,
God knows what they reveal in fear.
I am also a part of this terrific world!
In which there were heroes with their sword,
They shedded blood, these are true words,
Just that it is I always remained in the area of fraud!
I wish I had that beak instead of the mouth!
That does not speak words only makes sounds!
I hope that one day all will be fine,
And the world will match its thoughts with those of mine!!

Many reasons left unsaid
For why I journey beyond your head
And why a space is left maintained
For when you say "let's meet again"
Reasons for a shedded tear
But never what you think you fear
The outside world they say "be warned!"
When inner demons are so near
Mental bruises deteriorates
Sanity at a rapid pace
And when it's gone we only have
A bond you swore would never break
Reasons why you're seen this bold
In dreams that just can't be retold
Is for a better want of word
A sheltered love to be unfold
And if you go you'll come back home
For you are mine and I am yours
