Hope

(CHORUS)she's hope tied to a rope of possibilities 
                she chokes, in reality its hard to cope
                despite facts that life nowadays 
                seems like a stolen joke
                she still tightens the rope
                because she's hope

(Verse) 

she stares at stars like mars looking for a planet
that would twist her sadness into a new raw core genesis
without an apples tale, without eve being snakes prey
hope prays and pays attention to Wisemans words
that creates ideas instead of nightmares hoping
god still cares even if our sins are beyond worse 

(CHORUS)she's hope tied to a rope of possibilities 
                she chokes, in reality its hard to cope
                despite facts that life nowadays 
                seems like a stolen joke
                she still tightens the rope
                because she's hope

(Verse)

She lullabies the moon while the spotlight approaches
heading into her cave she waves "SEE YOU NEXT TIME''
She was once a prey to the beast which feast on minds and lands
where hunters get hungry in their own country limited by boundary
hope honours all even ants in this earthy ball scrolling entire planet for hidden truth
She vividly retained ancient prophecies that said men will be destroyed 
by his mind one day with intentions, modifying inventions
hope sworn she tried to warn earthlings before truth got torn into parables 
but after all she's hope remaining within boundaries of her character
which she cant defy......she can only lend us hope and can never be broke from it
because she's hope

(CHORUS)she's hope tied to a rope of possibilities 
                she chokes, in reality its hard to cope
                despite facts that life nowadays 
                seems like a stolen joke
                she still tightens the rope
                because she's hope

Slaves of Love

slaves of love in darkness
On curious views
In robes of patience
Feeding on fear 
Running in tears 
Seeking a leader Braver than Man
Day breakers summoned 
By outcomes of yesterday
Pregnant with life
On a journey to an endless tomorrows
Surrounded by joy and sin
Under force of mortality
Faith was dethroned 
Knowing seized concluding
Witnessing was a mouthful 
In age of miracles

Undefined

Basically this is true
While she was on a salon queue
For a perfect choice
Later got treated with a perfect choice.
Hiding proof of cheating reason with disappointments
The salon owner uses truth 
Advantaging his pen+is spitting 
consequences of erection rain coated
twisting destiny of ink

She ignored promises and swallowed pride
Vomiting Desperation 
Trapped in reality fighting consequences
Mistakes accused testifying

Trust was on stake
Maybe karma was a mistake
Waterfalls are not craved to flow on skin of man
Dignity must be maintained from within
That's the basic plan

Insecurities haunted happiness
He wrote this poem while home
but on Facebook

Poetry caused lovers to be undefined

Lalinah

Pain pierces endurance barriers
silence orchestrates the mood
waterfalls leak from eyes
Y me? Y now? but, but how?
she screams tearing flesh internally
blaming trust anointed by her mother
"my father uses his penis as a baby sitter"
snatching childhood from me lalinah
I befriended loneliness while sinking in quicksand's
of torturing flashbacks

My mother voiceless
her skin speaks of wounds, scars, tears
carved by sjambok, belt, fists of my father
she drowns herself in a lake of brew
stalking memories breaks her layers down to
meaningless breath-taking her to aisles of death

My voice tamed by photographs taken before 
father lost his job, before hell scattered our home with demons
I lalinah begged hope to scream for help
yet till this day I wait in fright of tomorrow

"lalinah my child"
"Yes mother"
"Forgiveness is held hostage by time demanding a ransom,
 just hang in there child help is on the way"
"But, but, but when mother"
"Honestly speaking I don't know child"
"But till that day reveals itself lets cling to our faith"
