Messed Up Love

Never got the meaning of pi and thiter
Before I met the guy whose name was Peter
He untold the lie... both not a letter
Then made the sour pie even sweeter...
Said it was knowledge within a mathematical theme

Ride low and high in the fourteen seater
Cold wants to die he hands me his sweater
Removes his tie says he's getting hotter
Can't even share the weather?
Then can we even be together?

Complicated Love

Garbage in garbage out
From a queen to a tout
Full of sin vulnerable skin
Fish with a fin but sweet secret within

Be my rhythm be my sound
Never leave him tightly bound
In the desert oasis found
Bird with a feather, knows no weather

Sealed in paper let it be
Love's a vapour you'll never see
Don't escape her don't leave he
Man with a skin full of sin

Escape From Within

If peace was like a river then it would not be peace
It would just be a shiver that is mistaken for bliss
All the cataract's all the wavers,it would not cease for your pleas
Shouts and screams chanting save her,but it's all in your dreams
Musical notes such as quavers,wash up your nightmares wash off your sins
Relieve the pain relieve the danger, hold my hand though am a stranger

Mystical Rose

My beautiful mystical rose
From the ashes of defeat you rose
Beauty bestowed lacking flaws
The same iron lady everyone knows
With your slightest move they tremble; your foes
As David with the lion you tear away their jaws
Running away their king bows
Surrendering; retreat he goes
My beautiful mystical rose..
Even at dusk the cock crows
Even at winter the farmer sows
From the ashes of defeat you rose
Beauty bestowed... lacking flaws

But With You

It's ringing in my ears
It's unfolding all my fears
It's killing all my dreams
It's as scary as it seems
It's scraping off my thoughts
Tying me tightly into knots
It's spearing me with pins
Leaving me shattered as smithereens

But with you I feel the sun
But with you the heat can't burn
But with you I feel at peace
But with you I feel the bliss

You're my shade in the stormy weather
You're my shade cause now we're together
Relieve your doubts...if,when or whether
Make your heart light as a feather...

Teach Me To Lie I'M Tired of the Truth

Teach me to lie; lies are rich
And truth wallows in poverty within

Teach me to lie; lies are jolly
And truth is engulfed with pain and grief

Teach me to lie, with it there is justice
With truth,... I'll die with the injustices speared at me

Teach me to lie; lies are obese
And truth,.... you can see my emaciated bones and soul

Teach me to lie; lies are warm
And truth... am freezing in the never ending cold

Teach me to lie; lies are clothed
And truth I'm naked..no dignity to withhold

Teach me to lie,am tired of The truth
Please teach me to lie,am so tired of the truth

But the bitter truth is balm for the soul
The sweet smelling aroma of something not foul
The promises of milk and honey in heaven I'll be full

So I will wait, I will love my fragile bones, I will shiver in the cold
I will remain unclothed.

I will raise myself with no nanny
Trust in God my only Daddy
He said when the sun shines on the rich, even to me it will be sunny.

Tainted By He But Still Love the Most

Don't blame me he's now a ghost
Let him be the cursed and lost
Now you see the pain he's caused
Tainted by he but still love the most

Don't tell me he sprung your knee
That same he poisoned your tea
Don't say we the pre is post
Tainted by he but still love the most

The Two Sides of the Well

Do tears come from a well?
We can never tell
But they never seem to dry
As much as I can try
They keep flowing down
Changing the smile to a frown
I hate tears of pain
Longer than the longest train


Does happiness come from a well?
Heaven even in hell
It never seems to end
Supplier keeps to send
Even the bitter as bile
Will change the frown to a smile
I love tears of joy
Longer than the longest pain

Only Tomorrow

As I go...
As I stride past the bridge with a twenty litre jerrican on my hand
I dream of tomorrow where hard soil will be like sand
Where in my dreams we have enough
Where in my dreams soft is never rough
I speed away; not to anger mama
Then when am rich I'll live in Alabama
Ojo, forget the pains, softly says the river
But my thoughts doubt my spirit and my body shivers
As I walk back to our manyatta
I know one day my emaciated bones will grow fatter
ONLY TOMORROW....

Us Again

Stop pushing me to the edge, I am now standing on my toes.
Turn to a new page, and please, hear my woes.
Then you were filled with rage, and only saw my flaws.
Stuck in the lion's cage, shivers to behold its jaws.
Turn down the pain gauge, forget the broken laws
Remember the old adage, true love comes and goes?
Pull us  from where you dug us, cleanse your heart from spears and daggers.
