Just Friends

Yeah I know it feels weird
But it's too beautiful to be bad
Now it's scary cos it might be a masquerade
If we happen to be more than what we are
Now that's cos we have become more than I can describe
No one understands when I sing all that jazz
It's already more than the music for mature minds
They go with the sarcastic reply "Just friends, yeah right"
And then I am lost in my definition
A new synonym is added in its oxymoron
She has become my doubted confidante
But only to the minds who refuse to see
If am gonna kick that bucket, it's definitely not your water in it

The Shallow Depth of Deep

I just realised my eyes were opened
To a reality they have been seeing
Still not knowing what to do
About something I know am doing

And delving into a serious depth
On a surface so deeply shallow in the deep
It marvels me beyond a memory in a flash
But still I see what I see with my eyes blind to the clearly obvious

Tell me what it takes to stand out
And I will show you a lonely road out
Tell me what it takes to have great ideas
And I will show you how crazy wonky you could seem in my eyes

Its a lonely road to the platform of greatness
But its funny how obvious you seem from the top
They only see a tip of the iceberg
But can never see how deep you went down

The deeper you go in the depth of a height 
It becomes so high in the deep,
The higher you go in the height of a depth 
It then becomes so deep in that height

Hold Me

I need someone to hold
Give me a jacket when I'm cold
And under the sheets we'll fold
A beautiful sculpture we will mould
As we find the sweetest hold
Oh yes it's someone with whom I'll grow old
I will be his lady and he my Lord
Cherishing each other's place in the fold
When you find that special one
Please just hold.....

Life's Happiness

My eyes decided to see each other for the first time
To discuss which of them saw the ear first 
While the other fingers wondered why the ring finger was the only one with a vein to the heart
And toenails wondered why fingernails grow nearly 4 times faster than them
And then the brain uses 20% of the total oxygen produced by the body
I can't please everybody, Life said to herself 
I believe everything is in proportion unless something just has to change 
Do you know how much energy it takes for me to create new connections cause of a new memory you just had, Brain replied
But the skin retorted that the brain feels no pain like her
Life isn't about competing but finding your place and functioning 
You will find your purpose and happiness there
So find it!!!!!!!!!!!
