Freedom From My Chains

Due to moral torment
All that is left is the dark path
With the dust at my hills from the path of righteousness
My energy fails and I lack knowledge
My prayers unanswered and my faith withers


Unreluctant for a better day
Toil for greener pastures
Memories of my home remain
This memories that I bear create walls within me
Bridges i cant overcome
Stories I can't tell
Barriers to my inner-self
I'm in bondage


The yearn for freedom echo's in my mind
Release me from the glimpse of my chains
Dusk till dawn I crawl towards the only light visible
The only hope there is.I crave freedom
I await to catch sight of an angel before I descent
To set me free and let all within me fly
Angels! be it real or myths,its my only hope.


My strength fails and my bones are weak
As I mingle my food with tears
My taste buds resent the wine's ecstasy
And my soul's motivation can endure no more
Victory in my veins is history,it is felt no more


My light dim,my mind dull
My life rumbles and in all the chaos and scramble
My hope is a mystery to me,still yet
I yearn for freedom from my chains.

Dark Beauty

ONLY SHE FEELS IT
HER ALONE HEARS ITS ECHO
TALL,DARK AND BEAUTIFUL,
ONLY SHE SEES IT
TACITURN BLACK BEAUTY
SHE IS AN ENIGMA
AURA OF THE GODS,
SHE IS A DARK BEAUTY.


FLAWLESS IN HER SKIN 
TALENT IS HER SKILL
ADORNED TO KILL
SHE IS A DARK BEAUTY
IN ALL OF LIFE'S REALITY.


IN HER HONESTY
LIFE MADE HER A BEAST
TOOK ALL HER BEST 
NOW ALL SHE DOES IS FEAST
SHE KNEW IT
AND SHE FELT IT.


THE WORK OF HIS RIGHT HAND
HIS PIECE OF ART
HE CREATED HER
MAN MADE HER
LIFE SHAPED HER
THEIR TORTURE MOLDED HER
AND SHE PERFECTED HER SELF.

SACRED WOMEN HURT AND BROKEN SHE IS BLACK
SHE IS BACK
AND HER BEAUTY IS DARK.

I Choose To Run

I refuse to feel
And despite to fall
I dare not evoke my doom and destruction
Distance my only option
And destiny my only solace

Fear creeps all over
Once the topic crowds the mind
I choose to run and rather be a coward
It never is late
But there always is nothing any mortal can do

It's in our human nature
In our mortal nature to make changes
But once this takes place than it cant be undone
Only changes that the mind depicts,the eye bears witness
The tongue can retell and the ear once heard

The scars still remain
The memories serve as a testimony
For that reason and only that
I chose to run,
Refuse to feel and spare my distraction
Better a label than a virtue is cowardliness.

Broken

Unannounced you came
And it all did not matter to me
I did not care
As it was too perfect to worry
Until you left,in a hurry,unannounced as you came
And than all was lost
Myself,my dreams,my hopes

And all that followed was a catastrophe,my greatest fall
There was pain to bear
A broken soul to mend
Hell to pay
Days of despair
And regret to overcome

And than I had to find someone,someone to blame it on
There had to be someone,it was not me nor you
Or at-least part of me thought so
Do we blame it on love?
Or does it have to be fate?
Is it a destiny trick or blindness of love?
Could it be the will of the gods,
Or intervention of our stars?

Opportunities came
Doors opened
Windows of opportunities appeared
But I was too broken to see.

Show Me Favour

Show me favour
I will stay forever
Redeem me
Vindicate me

I am broken among-st women
Among-st all women
I am despicable
Because am not able

They lied,I tried
It's all useless
Only when powerless

I no longer can fight
With no will power at night
Redeem to me what's right.

When It's That Time,God Stand By Me

When it's time for my fate
And my beauty fades
Stand by my side
Strong, on my right
Say it will be alright
The dark tunnel has light

When my strength fails
And all my successes rail
Remind me it's real
But it'll all rail

When it's that time,stand by me
And pray it rains
Over the trains
Of my chains
That keep me captive
And my soul adaptive
Faces can be deceptive
So stand by me

But there is no escape
From the bold shape
Into the shade
Of my chains
Still stand by me

I do not question 
The reaction, 
It's an action.

When it's that time 
That my chains gleam,
My faith withers
In that cold weather
My heart yearns 
And my soul earns
 For you to be there
By my side
When it's that time
GOD stand by me.

The Fair Youth Beauty

IN A NICK OF  TIME
IN LIFE'S HARSH REALITIES
THE FAIR YOUTH BEAUTY FADES
LIKE WITHERED GRASS IT'S GONE
WEAK,BROKEN,DEEP ASLEEP
NEVER TO AWAKE AGAIN.

ALL THAT REMAINS ARE MEMORIES
THAT NO EYE SEES BUT YOU
THAT NO OTHER TONGUE CAN TELL BUT YOURS
THOSE MEMORIES THAT THE MIND CAN HARDLY DEPICT
THE FAIR YOUTH BEAUTY.

IT SHALL FADE
IT'S DESTINED FOR EXTINCTION 
ITS NOT IMMORTAL
THOUGH IT CAN BE IMMORAL.

THAN ANOTHER GENERATION SPRINGS UP
TO TRAD THE NARROW PATH WE ALL TOOK.
THAN THE HEART ACHES
THE SOUL YEARNS
AND THE MIND REMINDS
MEMORIES REMAIN.

TRULY NOTHING IS NEW UNDER THE SUN,
THEY WERE ONCE YOUNG
THEIR EYES ONCE WERE SO KEEN
ENERGETIC,IMAGINARY BUT LESS REALISTIC 
THAN IN A BLINK OF TIME IT FADED
THEIR YOUTH SHIELDED THEM NO-MORE
AND THEIR FAIR YOUTH BEAUTY DECLINED.

AS SURE AS MAN LIVE
AS LONG AS THE EYES CAN SEE
THE TONGUE CAN TELL
THE FAIREST YOUTH BEAUTY CONTINUES TO FADE
BY MISFORTUNE OR NATURE'S COURSE
THAT'S THE FAIR YOUTH BEAUTY
