Africa Heart

Bloody skies
New beginnings
Fresh
Warm
Glorious scent
From heaven it was sent

Long before
We walked this land
It was moulded
Sculpted
Created
Perfected
By the Maker

Legends tell of
The dark spirit
Turning trees
Trying to take the land

The Maker
Made the tree strong
Made it proud
Made it unbreakable
Just like the people
That believe in Him

The Maker perfected this land
More than before
Filling with
Mighty roars
Soft rumbles
Silent wings
Bouldering calls
Gentle purrs
Manic laughs

So with this
Wild heart I call mine
I will delight myself in
The Makers 
Creations

Running soon
Running far

To set wild hearts free
Like a flaming master
Taking its fiery hold
Over all things
Dry and old
Only to uncover
What has been bleeding 
To be seen

Our wild hearts
Beat with
Gentle giants footfall
Beating slow steady 
Ready to be set free
Ready to breathe
What was mine to be

With blazing sun
Firing down
Onto cracked
Down ground

Between thick brush
Under the mighty baobab
With the creations all around
My wild
African heart
Soon to be found

Future

At night 
When she lays down
Body to jaded
Spirit long since faded
But, Her restless mind
Awakens

Telling her 
Who she is
What she will be
The nights that
Will soon follow
How it will end
With a gun in hand

She sees a woman
To scared to stand
To timid to speak
In her mind always
A lioness ready to fight
But in actual fact
A cub weary 
Weak

She sees a scared
Little girl
Burning in the eyes
Of the beholder
The seducer
The personal foe

Where will it end
This laying bare
This bleeding trend
Where will it end

In a glint of stainless
She sees
A sudden timelapse
Of a future of use
Of many men Served 
At night
As her body is shook
In rhythm
To perpetrators 
Scornful looks
One by one
They finish
One by one
They leave her
Staring up into oblivion
Hoping the pain will end 
Praying for amends
Screams in her eyes
Begging for forgiveness
Her face stays blank
Waiting for the next
To ruin her rank

A snap back to reality
What now?
What next?
She hugs her knees
Afraid of what will be

Click
She is set back quick
She is standing above
What seems to be
Her not much younger self
Sitting on her feet
Angrily crying
Hands manically clawing 
At the sides of her head
She suddenly rises
RedVelvet seeping 
Through her pale skin
The frenzied search begins

A timelapse again
She sees herself
Ferociously scratching with a pen
The anger in a book
Soon to be hidden again

A creak of a door
Sends her spiralling back
Into the now
Into the black

Defeat
Will her prediction
Be her end?
The only thing left
A gun in shaking hand

Africa Iii

Heart pounding
Nervous feeling
Overwhelming
Deep breath to shake it
Cold chill slivers down fast

Beating against cage of heart
Cage of body
Cage of soul
Legs begging to run
Heart aching to be free
Truth to self 
aching to be seen

Sweet scent of dry savannah plains
Sharp smell of thorny veins
The aroma of Africa surrounds
Scents sights sounds 
In these home is found

Frustration mounts 
Captured leopard
Bound

Snarling at every motion made
Scared but defiant
Blinded by fear and rage

Paws long for endless journeys
On paths walked centuries ago
For elegance in element
A space all her own
Where earth still bleeds red on horizon
Morning and night
Continuing the endless fight

Fight for borderless freedom
Everlasting sight
The pale yellow green eyes
Dismays the truth inside
But tell the story
Of wild soul
Story to unfold

Africa Ii

Little girl standing tall
High above
What told of mighty fall
The world is lost
No hope no trust
But in dark country
In to solid stone
Home is cast

Bright fiery sunsets
Vivid starlit nights
Jackal calls
Lion roar
Little girl 
At peace with world

Sun dried earth
Mighty beasts
No defeat
Just voiceless rumbles
Mighty and strong
Little girl no longer stumbles

Running wild along with beasts
Feet barely touching worldly deceit
Scorching African sun
Beating down
Freedom finally found

Little girl stares into made flames
Seeing old life old thoughts
Smiling at her untamability

Little girl standing tall
Arms outstretched
Face lifted to heaven
Drenched in new life
Sacredly touched
Finally safe
Thanking The Creator
For His amazing grace

Society

Girl
In short black dress
Standing infront
Of un wanting crowds 
Staring through
Her soul
Dismissed

They look with judgement
Seeping through
Dark eyes
Jeering at her misguided mind

Perfect?
Ha! she'll never be
Far to different
This one is

They surround her
Like predator with its prey
Looking closely
At the imperfection 
That leaks
From misformed body
Twisted soul

Prodding at scars on skin
"What is this we have?...
Pain inside got to much?
Had to show for all to see?
Attention seeker we have here"

They turn to dark whirlwind
Surrounding her fragile being
Keeled over on judgement
So harsh
Even her utmost strength
Is ripped aghast

It echoes in her head
Imperfect
Injured
Flawed
Disfigured
Impure

Falling to her knees 
The dark whirlwind
Encloses with ease
Obscuring sane thoughts
Hate within spawns

She tries to rise
Knocked down again
Second time
Knocked down
Third
Knocked
After hundreds of tries
The will to give up
Arises

But again once more
She rises
Up on shaking legs
The whirlwind disappears

Far off they still stand
Judging
Jeering
Demeaning
Her being
But Far to different
This one is

Conformed by the norm
She'll never be
To free to be caged
To wild to be kept
Freedom from the mould
She truly is
Turning her back
Valiantly on societies
Critical cliques

Run Little Girl Run

Listen to the sounds of night
Close your eyes
Beware the fright

Thoughts cascade
Through brim-filled mind
Help her
Help her
She is blind

Starts to seep
The frustration
Hid so deep
The untrusting of any soul
The always suspicious toll

One took and broke
Perfect ideals
Thoughts evoked

Cascade 
Cascade down
Until still life played
In front of seamless eyes

Brutal attacks
Heinous crime
Run run run
Quick
And hide

Heart seems not to beat
Only quiet little leaks
That no one sees beneath
Body aches to be fee
But soul it seems
Captured
Smothered 
Ceased

Slow uneasy feet
Carry her too unwilling defeat
To talk
To not
To hide away initial thoughts

Not to be caught
Around devils door
Around a hellward bound
Simple sound

The screeching sound
Of metal scrounge
Across cast iron
Over soft white
Pillow like 

Late at night
Thoughts collide
Cascading down 
Her intricate mind
A frown it seems
The only mask 
That seem her fiend

Run little girl
Run they scream

Clutches

Clutches closing
Bleeding broken
Bruised battered
Heart
Shouting
Screaming
For salvation
Redemption
Saviour!

Dark
Black
Cold claws
Taking hold

Soul starving
Worthless
Alone
Lost 
Gone
Dead?

Tattered body
Broken skin
Tears
Smiles

Dark black eyes
Staring back
Reflection
Revolting
Ruined?

Taken close
Left to fall
Breath
Snap
Click
Bang?

Pleading
For Rescuer
Begging
Not to fall
Crying
For freedom
From his evil hold

Anger
Resentment
Hate
Hurt
Danger!

Truth
Hope
Faith
Love
Safe?

Holding onto pieces
Of a broken whole?
Burnt bridges
Cold glows
Broken
Lost
Alone

Running
From a past
Done
Happened
Said

Running towards
Unknown
Hope for salvation
Help to save?
Love to show?
Hand to hold?

Fight With Me

To leave 
Or to stay
To fight
Or destroy

Never meant 
Never intend
Never wanted
It all to fall

So it starts
So it ends
so its racing to defend

Angry words left unsaid
Lonely hearts still searching on
Fight fought with all might
Seemingly lost beyond all trust

Halo keeping all safe
Fading into mirky skies

Stood and fought
For hours
Hurt and pain it brought

But promise made
Promise kept
Never to be left alone
Always taught 
Not to let it fade

It was strong
Feeling weak
It was whole
Feeling broken

What happend
What fell
What made it all
Turn and run
What sounded 
The end of round bell?

When did it dwindle
Where did time go
When did we turn
To what we never were
Never wanted to be

A bitter sight?
A deadly sound?
A problem child?

Forever loyal I will fight
Forever true I will stay
Forever at ur back I will be
Come hell high water 
And the 7 seas

It now is your call
Stay 
Or run
What ever it may be
This is my promise 
This is my plea
Hold on
And fight WITH me

Plea

Don't be heard
Hide in darkness
Screaming within
Tears they run
Run 
Run

End nearing
Break is pending
Storm ominously waiting
Body convulsing
Not to be heard
Not to be found

Only in darkness
They become seen
The cracks that in light
Unseen by open eye

But when all becomes calm 
around
She starts to break down
The walls crumble down
Down down
Until worthless soul
Scratched open and found

Unworthy
Unwitting
Hellward bound

Fingers cold as they scratch 
claw
Rip and tear
At what seem not want
At scarred skin

What's the use
When no use to others
What's the purpose
When no other is found

You you
You are nothing
A waste of space
A worthless fake
They'll leave you again

Legs pulled to chest
She shudders again
Feeling anger within

Hide it away
Before they see
Hide it deep
Hide it quick

White knuckled hands
Run through matted hair
Frustration bared

Who will see her glinting looks
Of an ambition to kill
Murder
Destroy
The monster within

With one final step
To end the losing set

She has no worth
No one will care
They will laugh 
At her heart in a letter
Finally be laid bare

Lost is the hope
Faith. 
Trust

Destroyed by those
Who shoved her off
 
Those who turned their backs
Those who tortured her with 
judgement
And stares
Those who took for granted
The piece of her soul she gave 
willingly
To try save the fake gold
In them she saw

Teeth clenched as last words 
are said
I love you
I miss you
Never forget

Only if they would see
How much these words mean
If only they see
These
Are
Her
Only
Plea

Fate

Define you're fate
Or get defined by it
Fight to defend it
Crawl to protect it
Secretly try change it?

Defined
Moulded
Sculpted
Created
Everyday too be...
What we  seem not want
What we rear against
Fight to the count
Of a dance with Fate

Slow twirls around 
A empty room
Filled with silent screams
Happy deceit

Love comes
Love goes
Heart to pay the price
On Fates' cold touch

Fate spins you into
Whirlwinds of truth
Begging not to lose
Hold on frail hand now
Soaked in what 
Others can't see

Brief second you pull away
Smile on Its face
It turns you back in

It throws you back
Towards the floor
Catching just before
It all is lost tiles, tack
To stands of hair 
Fallen from neat, kept,
Wholesome hold

Between Fates' teeth
A blossom clutched
A fragile flower, life, dreams
Untouched
With a sharp stab
Fate is killed
By your hands which 
It no longer held

A rose red as blood 
Falls to the floor.
Only to be caught
By the one
No longer in Fates hold
But the one who 
Holds her fate 
Her own
