Waterfall

Cascading torrents of angst
Once more, I wallow in depression
Sitting in the dark
Mulling over these things
Once more I stare my inadequacies in face
Nothing has changed, he is the same
Damn
To think, that I thought I had changed
Fool\
Drenched in melancholic tones
Why am I here
Constantly losing myself
What is the purpose of this
I could blame all of creation
For producing a flawed being
But I know that if I was perfect
I would still be a problem
Sorry
Its not you, its me.
Do I ruin everything I touch
Why does the world seem to crumble in my hands
Is this my curse
And there he goes again
Blaming omens and gods
The problem is me
Forgive me
Sorry, No
Leave me in torment

Chrysalis

Stepping through that door
Into the cosmos
Feels like you’re falling
Find out you’re flying
Transcending to the ethereal
Life was the cage
Death is release
You’re a butterfly now
You’re in a better place now

Sthandwa-Deux

Sthandwa sthandwa
I’ve loved from afar
Sthandwa sthandwa
Dissatisfaction slowly grows
I say I love you
You say you adore me
We say a lot of things
Day and night
Sweet nothings are exchanged
Empty words to fill up the void between us
But this lips long to kiss
And this hands long to hold
My fingers cry out
To caress, to touch
I lay on my back
Dreaming about you
My mind putting us in various positions
The smell, the taste of you
The sound of your laughter
My mind creates a perfect picture of everything
But
What’s the point
I don’t want a relationship with a figment of my imagination
I lay here cold
Thinking of how nice and warm it would be to have you beside me
But with only empty words between these sheets
I love you, sleep well, sweet dreams
Sthandwa
Sthandwa, sthandwa
Perhaps this words do mean a lot
Perhaps just the sound of my voice on the phone
Is enough to set your heart racing, and bring smiles to your face
But I know you feel it too
The silence after you drop the receiver
The emptiness left behind when the euphoria fades
A drug too quickly adapted to
Soon the buzz isn’t even there anymore 
Only the crushing weight of emptiness, the sense of something that’s not

And you start to ask

Is any of this even real
Words… Words, words words
Sthandwa… Sthandwa sthandwa
I’m sitting here
Writing this down
Cause I’m not sure how to say the words
Sthandwa
Sthandwa, Sthandwa
Maybe we should let it go…

Miss Johnsons Smile

And what gets me is that broken tooth
A little flaw in all this perfection
It’s like the final brush stroke in a painting
That makes a portrait a masterpiece.

Sthandwa

Sthandwa 
Sthandwa sthandwa 
I scrawled her name a hundred hundred times
Carved it onto every Inch of my heart
Painted it across the canvas of my mind
Sthandwa 
Sthandwa sthandwa 
A constellation in the dark abyss
My guiding light
So far away
Yet, like a sun
Warms my heart
Sthandwa 
Each day is agony
Away from you
Life loses all hope and flounders
I suffer in a cage
Waiting for you to rescue 
Sthandwa,   you’re re all I think of
The world is a maelstrom of incoherence
But your voice is the eye of the storm
Calming and saving me
You are my true salvation
Sthandwa 
I’d always be lost without you
East is West and North is south
Up is down, and in is out
I stand here spinning on my axis
Once more, waiting for your hands to steady me
Sthandwa 
I’ve called your name a thousand times
Whispered it in my sleep
And lived it in every breath
Sthandwa… 

“If you were a tear in my eye, I would never cry, for fear of losing you”

Jadesola

A coat of many colours

In a world of muted greys

I stood there black and white

Vivid neutrals

But never grasping her attention

A coat of many colors

She was the center of attraction

The world swirled around her

As I tried desperately

To mix colors, become part of your world

We connect

We coalesce

You fade, you drain

Do I ruin everything I touch

Your heart was a painting

And I scrawled all over it in Crayon

Standards

And we stand here as time fades
Everything dilates
And we finally see each other
This is hell
I am raw and open
Vulnerable and exposed
I am imperfect and you are perfection
All my pretenses stripped away
And i finally admit
I could never be good enough for you

Still Floating

If the earth started falling through space
With nothing in its way
Would it ever reach the bottom?
How long would it take?
Is there even a bottom?
Sometimes I feel like I’m just floating through life
Hanging there in space
Wondering when I’ll fall
When I’ll hit the bottom
Is there even a bottom?

River

I wanted to become better 

but I didn’t know how

wanted to move forward 

but didn’t know where

gifted with so many options 

desperately wanting to do it right 

i stood at the crossroads 

dazed and confused

Contemplating and pondering 

wrestling with my doubts 

Left or right

In the end

I stood there forever

Time swept past my bones

Life left and moved on

And so I remained

Trapped by indecisiveness

Never moving forward

Freeedom In Surrender

Falling to their ends
Will flailing make death softer?
Why wrestle against an hurricane?
You get blown away eventually
The sky is falling and I’m standing still
What’s the point in the running?
Resistance is futile
Life is pre-destined
