Change

I havent always been this way
Im not acting goldly nor is it pretence
Im not holier than thou hope this !makes sense
Im just changed from the mess i had made
Trapped in a world of lustful desires i used to be
Thus i cannot stand and say im better that would be fake
I know what it means to fall right on your face
The shame and guilt that comes after the whole ordeal
Maybe you don't understand, let me lay it down for you

My life hasnt been that much of a story to tell
The plight of the deeds of my youth nearly destroyed me
The person i used to be and who i am now are at opposite poles
Had i not changed, i would have landed in the hades
Living life the way i felt was best for me
Dangerously engulfed in the desires of my own flesh
Thinking if i like it i can have it
Such a crooked line of thinking i know
Kissing on everybody and anybody i wanted
Riding on lusts of my flesh like no ones business
Continued to live as though i done nothing shameless
I lived for self and she wanted what she did
Losing conscience in the depth of my sin
Thinking as long as i don't cross the boundary im fine
Justifying myself that im still in line course i done it not
Even though inside id feel no less than a harlot
Trading holiness for filthiness
Life for death why could i not see
That i needed change and a light to show the way
The road i had taken lead nowhere but unto death
Burdened by the guilt of my sin and shame
My sin ever before me and testifying against me
I lifted mine eyes towards the one who's able to tame
To change a wretch and avails sufficient grace to the unworthy
He judged me not but instead he showed me mercy
He changed me and yes i did change
I know im still a working progress but its looking good
Course i know he is faithful to complete the work
he began

Thus when i stand to boast i boast not of my self
For its no longer i who lives but him in me
Living life anew course he gave me another chance
To live right and be justified as worthy of his grace
Hope you get it now what im trying to say
I needed change and so you do
In the enjoyment of your youth dont make a !mistake
And live recklessly like i did
I got another chance but that's not always the case
Live right and live the world behind
Lose it all and you will gain whats way better
I ain't making bargains but lending a helping hand
To the one who is trapped in sinking sand
Take this hand and you shall be saved
Trust me you shall never be put to shame
Change comes when you embrace it
We all need change hope now you get it.

Dancing In the Moonlight

as i, stare blankly at the night sky
i envisage how interesting life can actually be
the bright light of the scouting moon permeates through the atmosphere
the perfect ambience for an ancient, dormant love to be awakened
for long has it been suppressed by the laws of human perception
the self mastery of one who is yet to learn that love should not be awakened before its time, it’s typical of a man to desire but not have, not that he can’t have but that he doesn’t know how....

as i stare deep within his eyes, for a glimpse of beautiful days ahead,
my bowels leap for joy as they tie knots unbreakable, 
a love has been awakened to the sound of nothingness, 
as space and time disappear, an infinite bond to be forged between two hearts,
 past the disparities of human logic and beyond, 
an indescribable affiliation to the endless flow of passionate waves of emotions,
an invitation to dive in to the possibilities of how beautiful life can actually be with Him. 

i stare blankly at the night sky to paint the portrait of the one i love, 
as my mind races past the starry host of endless possibilities of beautiful days ahead, an explosion of paradise before my eyes as i paint the picture of him who comes leaping down the mountains calling and reaching out to me,
he is mine and i am his and none can put asunder, 
i am lost in this aesthetic trance as i stare blankly at the night sky...

Love Rain

dark clouds roll in and drop by drop does she echo her arrival, she comes, and as she rains down her crystal showers am i caught up in the magnificent view of you smiling in the pouring rain, with much peace and evident joy, i watch you call unto me to come join you in the beautiful moment of pure insanity, i, see you, as rain drops cheerfully caress the deep of your soul,in utmost freedom are you and with ease you motion towards the shelter ive built, so i wouldnt be rained on, and you draw me out...

Sunny Day

Carry,me high to heights on the wings of the dawn
Take me to the place where the sun wakes in  majesty and splendor
Witness the break of a  new day sweet and savoury like the best of honey
Shine  bright for life has just begun
Embrace it all and be the best you can be 
Its a good morning and all things are made new...

Just Cast a Glance

I wave as you pass by the roadside
But your eyes are only focused on what you see ahead
You can't see what's on the side
I call out to you but you got your music so loud
You can't hear any other so sound
Frustrated i walk away 
Kicking them pebbles along the way
Trying to forget my unsucessful play
With my head low i contemplate upon my fate
If only he could see me, 
See me for me and not someone along the road
See me for me and not some random person he knows
If only he could see me, i sigh

So today i thought id try again
But it seems i tripped and fell
Course he asked but i choked on my words
Even the smallest of things was hard to  tell
I knew changing the topic wouldn't work
Inside i hoped that he got the message
Its never to difficult to decipher this kind
Or maybe its just me and my weird mind
Maybe thats why i hide away in my shell
Though i truly want him see and tell
That there is more to what words can say
A glance in the eye could pave the way
To get a glimpse of what's hidden within
But still, i get the feeling that he already knows
Or maybe its just me and my wierd mind

Anyway better let sleeping dogs lie
Maybe they will wake in time
To sound the alarm of the one who comes uninvited
And makes a home in what was rendered desolate
Bringing life to the broken ground 
and cover its nakedness with a sheet of fresh grass 
How i wish that day was here
There is no need to explain more
Reading between these line is more than enough to catch the flow
And just maybe you would ride along 
And meet me where the currents collide.

My Beloved

About a year ago i met a man
a man i had always admired from a distance 
a man i loved with all my heart
he was not the man i prayed for though
i had only asked for a man who fears God
a man who exudes the character of God
never did i ask for this man
a man whose steps were evidently directed by God
a man who drew me closer to God
a man who instilled in me wisdom on the things of God
a man who drove me to think way beyond my capabilities
a man who made want to pray even for the smallest of things 
a man who made me smile without even trying
i loved this wonderful man
fate played her part and i got separated from this man
it was the most painful thing ever
to love but not behold 
to miss but not retrieve
time passed and this man forgot me
the love of my life had gone away 
how could he stay when the keeper of the home was gone 
how could he remain standing when the neck had been cut from the head
i lost this amazing man
a man i loved with all my heart 
a man i had not prayed for but still received
and now i miss this man
so bad that no words can explain 
ironic how things can take a turn
how everything can change within a year 
i love him still

Arise

Arise alive to the call from the Lofty One
the majestic Prince of Peace alights His horse
In splendor He motions towards the place built for His renown
When He walks into the room everything changes 
Darkness flees and lights appears
He waits patiently for the one He has called to Himself
To know Him and be like Him
His smile lightens the universe each time one out of His kraal enters in
And still He calls,  and  calls,  and waits on  us to  come
Cause He knows this is a personal choice for us to make
A life in Him or in the other
One who crouches like a tiger but aint one
He roars like a  lion but he aint one either
he is but a lousy thief  who awaits his time to pay  for his sins
A day where there will be weeping and gnashing  of teeth
Arise, and answer to the call to life
Everflowing into endless seasons  and times
Would you come in and partake of  this amazing grace
The banquet is already prepared all you need to do is come and dine
Cause the price has already been paid and all your dues are done

Ghostly

yesterday i had a dream
In this dream i had died
I saw you walking with her
You waved and i smiled
And i watched as you walked away
I turned to go my way
Only to bump into one who walked right through me
I looked around and wondered why that was
I called but nobody heard me
I was just a schizophrenic shell and nothing more
A shadow of one who used to exist
In my ghostly state i went back to the place it all began
Where i saw you walking with her
You waved and i smiled
And thats the moment i lost my life
My heart busted through my chest
Blood gashed out and i bled to death
I stood there for a long time
Contemplating on what i have become
Just a shadow of one who used to be
Even to date i still stand here
At the place it all began
Where i saw you walking with her
You waved and i smiled
And that was the last I ever was

Disappear

as the first ray of sun hits my face
I am compelled to wake from where I had overwintered
eyes closed, I turn my back on the light
I wish it would just cease to shine
let darkness hide me as I sink into the deep of all shades black
I wish I would just disappear
back into my empty space
where nothingness defines my core existence
I wanna hide behind the blanket of dark matter
course with light breaks the reality of the broken dreams id rather forget
turn away from everything I have come to know
run away from myself if I could
cease to exist and disappear as if I never was
fade into thin air and never be...

All Time

Its 3 o'clock in the morning
And conversations of old come flooding into my brains
A message to them that arise in the dead of the night
To whisper a thing or to unto the beloved
What a way of starting a day being of one mind and spirit 
Im compelled to arise from my slumber and remind him that he still got my  heart
Its only a thing that lovers know
Only a place where lovers go
I am my beloved's and he is mine
And when the dark melts and light appear
We are way stronger than  the day before
And midnight conversations will never be a bore.
