My head confirms what my heart denies
I'm a prisoner of all your lies
And though it may put me in my grave
I'll stand forever your dying slave
Of this Siren's call there's no defense
Against all logic and common sense
But until the end my heart you'll keep
And bury it in the briny deep
No matter how many tears I cried
A hopeless fool on the day I died
And on my gravestone the caption read
He followed his heart instead of head
Unlock me set me free
Allow me to be myself
I’m tired of being here
In this prison of hate
You’re so confusing
Unlock me set me free
One minute you adore me
And the next you imprison me
I’m held captive by hurtful
And deceitful words
I’m a puppet in chains
Clinging to your every word
Unlock me set me free
You’re a master manipulator
Where is your shame
Your heart and soul is dark
Love doesn't exist in your world
You are a cold hearted warden
Let me go, release me
This isn't love, It's just a sham
I want my independence
I’m tired of independence day
Only being a far away dream

years have past since I felt loves spark
Dancing through the park
Trying to kick start my lonely heart
Getting my feelings out there among the visual arts
Hoping to find a place to out smart
What makes love disappear into the dark
Keeping a safety chain around all the best parts
Looking for a woman willing to give all her heart
Realizing when love starts your way
You must have all your feelers on display
Igniting emotions that have come into play
Trusting God has brought fourth that special day
Igniting my spirit like a shooting dart
Seeking to find a loving heart
That captures loves spark
Leaping through all the top charts
Finding a woman who is ready to depart
One that is beautiful, cunning and smart
Real cutie that is full of internal beauty
Who is proud of her outstanding booty
Woman whose love is on full duty
She is done eluding the past
Someone who lives in the moment having a blast
Who is ready for true love that will surpass
Creating everlasting feelings that will surly last
When all the parts of my heart are unmast
Revealing an amazing sweetheart
Who wants forever love from the very start
It waits for your soul,
Beyond any horizon,
Like a bottomless hole,
With such immense tension.
It’s there for the taking,
As sand sifts on a beach,
Passionate forsaken,
Falling through your reach.
It’s my love and passion,
Scorching with lust,
It’s nothing you could imagine,
A gravitational thrust.
There’s no visible limits,
Beyond blue skies above,
Turning hours into minutes,
My somewhat endless love.
No shadows’ are cast,
Nor footsteps taken,
Gentle kisses will last,
As senses are stolen.
Come enter my arms,
Make me your destiny,
Protector of harm,
Purveyor of ecstasy.
Take hold of my hand,
You shall feel how I’m kind,
Journey with me to the land,
Where I’ll unchain your mind.
(c) 2016 PJ Bayliss
Unchaining the chained
Is my ultimate gain
Life we live is of chain
Full of manacles and shackles
Let we unchain the chained
Legs and hands under siege
Even our head and mouth
Cannot be free of doom
Can we ever leave above the gloom?
In chain we desire freedom
For our land is full of boom.

In the morning when I was about leaving
Aunty Rose’s house in Iba,it was
An Environmental day in Lagos.
Unchain my heart from Kabilya
Unchain my heart, my amazigh son
You make me weep
You left to Algiers
And I dare not cry
You are on your way to Rouiba
Oh amazigh son
You awakened my soul
I am your Kahina, my love
I die a thousand deaths each night
Because you are not with me
I had to help you get to your people
They need you more than me
Know that I love you, Algerian king
Know that I cry for you each night
I love you, my Algerian
Speak to the skies of Algeria
Tell the skies and the mountains
I love you
I love you
Twahashtek Besef, ya oumri
