Poisoned

Hey secret admirer
You youare give me this flare
A thought of you creates this fire
Coming by you brings this desire
Like cancer within grows 
Like tendrils it sprawls.

Funny I never tell you
'coz you are that kind
Who makes me believe
That love is blind
Since I think you don't see
Which to me is poison

Teen Love

I loved you
You were such a beauty
I had no clue
This love was not for eternity
'coz I clung on you like glue
Thinking we had a bond
Soon you went for the next blonde
Your love to me was a blink
Just like the stars in the sky
I realized later
This was just teen love.

Fine Girl


You give me this prowess That motivates me to win the race To be the one you embrace Your heart to forever caress. I mirror your complexion Which gives me the temptation In form of a revelation To start with you a relation. But you hold me back before I turn my back You give me this knack That I'm your luck. Looking into your eyes as they never tell any lies Your charming chuckles circles my heart with sparkles. I crave for your presence yet you give me this essence That leaves me speechless Wait, I'm breathless.

The Plane of Darkness

I remember just like yesterday
I was famous
For my intelligence
I was genius
Bright
Had the brains
No doubt.

In my village
I would soon
Have a well-paying job
Be wealthy
Marry one of their beautiful daughters
Have a lovely family
Give back to the society
They had seen the light
My light.

Circumstances change
People change
I met 'friends'
Who wanted me to feel 'cool'
I started with a puff
They said, 'just a sniff'
It sounded strange
I wanted it badly
'coz I was thirsty
But it made me rusty.

I grew my desire
I went into liquor
It was satire
Thinking it would raise my vigour
I drowned
Below sea level I sank
I wasn't the same
Even the fame
Could now be the blame
An addict I became.

Long were the nights
I spent out without the lights
Ditches were my bed
Frogs were my friends
They sang me lullabies
And soothed me in my sleep.

My parents suffered
Wished I could change
They hoped
But all was strange
I wasn't coming back
Probably in a coffin
I became insane.
They had lost me.

Those who took me for their hero
Strange I borrowed them coins
Just for drugs
Deep in my insanity
I saw them struggling
To hold back tears of sorrow
They lost hope for my tomorrow.

I'm down to zero
Walking in shrugs
Talking to myself
Having these terrifying dreams
Punching the air
I can't be sober
It reminds me of the pain
Of before I boarded this plane
The plane of darkness.

It's now dawn
My time has come
To my knees I go down
Knowing I'm a failure though
I want to be a blessing in disguise.

For Your Love

I stand on the pavement
Watching your movement
And envy you for a moment
'coz I'm caught in the torment
of you holding each other for approvement
Like you two were permanent.

This is just a tie
that makes me feel high
Found myself loosening my tie
To absorb the lie
That I'm gonna die
Without seeing you eye to eye.

But in my heart
I felt your heart
Is tied with my heart
So it never hurt
Soon you will part
Once you two feed your lust!

Now that you are mine
I see the sunshine
And we are fine
Being on the same line
There is no more whine
Just fine.

The Goodnight Text


Sending her that good night text Was what I did wrong Now having a sleepless night Thoughts of her alone I wonder if I'm right To think my heart she's won! I twist to my right Flashes of her smiles come down. But I wanted to sleep With a peaceful mind Yet thoughts of her are this deep Yes she is one of her kind Whose love I can't skip Even when I try to be blind All I see is her in my sleep. If her love will give me peace And it's not a cheat I give her my heart in one piece To feel my heart beat So she carry's to the solace place Where everything will be sweet And our love we will embrace

Hurt

I loved you with passion
But realised you were in motion
First you called it love!
Never a word of gratitude
You left me in solitude
illusioned by love.
I could not understand
Why you could not stand
The quality of my love.
You took me captive
Before I could see the motive
Since I was in illusion of love.
But now I know
It was just a show
You never love!
I could not play
I allowed you away
'coz that's the pain of love!

The Heart Is To Blame


Yesterday you came here Looking into your eyes The chemistry was still there How could love be so biase? You made me forget my pick up line Of how we can't be together Even when our hearts still whine It gives me a bother Like red blood cells Our love always gets reborn Like inmates in a cell From love we can't run Maybe we are selfish To let each other go Or scared to seek a new wish Where love could still flow But I have to leave you alone Though you made me feel like a baby Like an unexpected tragedy The heart is to blame!

Crying Soul

Many mistakes I make But act like I don’t care Now I have to take It’s my heart I tear. Many days I walk Acting fine Even laugh and talk Yet inside I burn. Ever had these dreams at night? Making you sleepless! Because everything in sight Seem pointless. My body was crushing Hopes down to ashes My spirit gnashing Tattered and left for the masses. I count one, two, three Too many to stop That’s when I dreed to be free Even if it’s by a pope! But rarely go to church Not even pray Or maybe haven’t learnt much Even for a day. My final cry Is peace with my soul And try To be like Saul.
