Time Lost

TIME LOST

Isn't life too short
Always thought we would have time
Enough to catch up
Make up for all lost time
You didn't choose I know
To be away most of the time
You wanted as much as I did
To share most of your life with me
Life forced us apart
You had to be somewhere far
Earning a living for us
You didn't know where dad was
Swallowed by distance
Hidden by mountains
Thoughts and mind twisted
Young manhood stupidity
Heart stolen by parasites
Chasing the wind to nobody knows where
Memory of us thrown out the window
I treasured all your visits
Countable and short lived
The call of duty
Always wished you'd stay a bit longer
The emotional farewells tear soaked
Heartbreaking to see the back of your head
Your heart carrying me always
Always thought some day there will be time
Enough to tell you how much I love you
How much I missed you
And always wished you were there
Life stole you from me
Gone for good you leave me
Emotionally shattered,tear soaked
Heartbreaking to let you go
Have to let you sleep though
I will always love you
Rest mama

Golden Moment

GOLDEN MOMENT

Come closer my darling
Zero centimeters apart
Squeeze me hard hold me tight
Let's get lost in the feeling

Shh shh no word please
Restrict your mind from running around
Stop thinking
Just flow with the feeling

Close your eyes
Allow me the pleasure 
Of gnawing ravenously
At the honey dripping from your lips

I've wanted this for a long time
Let me feel your heartbeat
Let's indulge in the enchantment golden
I'm feeling the heat

Don't stop Don't stop
I swear I will die if it ends here
Let's take it all the way
I want it all now

Come on dance to the beat
There is no looking back
Let's explore this world
I know you want it too

Hooked

HOOKED

I have a little friend I've come to hate
It took quite a while before we clicked
Cough,cough....I chocked and coughed hard
The moment I first stuck him between my lips
I, however,was determined to get to terms with him

His sensation led me to a problem free world
He helped me forget my problems
He made me feel like I own the world
Providing relief when I was stressed
A dear friend he proved to be....for sometime

Pull in,relax,blow out into the clean sky
I felt like a king biting my stick of death
Those who don't smoke are lost for sure
They have no idea what they're missing
Those were the good times

I've made up my mind and I now want out
But I have utterly lost control
He has taken over my life
I want to quit,I keep saying as I light it
I now regret ever meeting this friend of mine

I've become his hopeless and voiceless slave
But I badly want my clean life back
He hasn't done my pocket any good either
Together we have squandered a good fortune
I don't know how to drop him off my lips

Who will set me free from this smoky bondage
My family and friends have given up on me
Where shall I run to so he won't find me
They dragged me to rehab in efforts to keep us apart
He kept calling my name loud from outside...till I answered

I'm buying no more when I finish this
I've told myself this a thousand times
But I've gone on to buy again.....and again
I wish it was that easy to quit
Pull in,relax,blow out into the clean sky

The African Hope

THE AFRICAN HOPE

Cry Africa cry
But cry with hope
Hope that beyond these senseless wars
A ceasefire shall dawn

Cry African child
But let your crying be filled with hope
Hope that when this deadly hunger ends
Abundance shall permanently replace it

Cry African woman
But never let go of your hope
Hope that everything is going to be fine 
And good shall one day conquer evil

Cry my beloved motherland
But we want to keep alive our hope
Hope that the horrifying and terrifying sound of gunshot
Shall one day turn into ear tickling drumbeat

Cry Africa cry
But just keep crying with hope
Hope that the tears soaking our faces
Shall one day be wiped forever

Trapped

Ever since the first time
I clapped my searching eyes on you
I've been truly in love with you
I have even ceased looking at all the other girls
Because they don't seem to measure up to you

I feel so emotionally tied on you
I worship everything about you
I can't even sleep at night
I am simply trapped in love
I just can't help it

I imagine holding you in my arms
Feeling your heartbeat
AS love flies us to the seventh Heaven
My dream is for us to be together forever
I just don't know how to make it a reality

I Am Gatvol

I AM GATVOL

So you wanna play God over my happiness
You decide when I can have a smile on my face
When I must have my face soaked in tears
You make and break my happiness

Why am I even crying,if you should know
Am I crying because I dread the thought of life without you
NO,I am crying because I hate every little memory of the day we first met
I regret everything about that day

I regret every second of my life I have allowed you to waste
All I want now is just forget about you and pretend like you were never there
I will forever blame myself for giving you far too many chances
When all you ever begged for was only one

You think you have me right where you want me
Wrapped around your little finger eating from your palm
You're convinced that I don't know that love is not what you want me to think it is
My eyes are blind and I can't see anything you fool yourself

You want me to believe that hitting and kicking me is just another way of expressing your love to me
When you yell,shout and scream at me all you're doing is loving me loudly
You seem to believe that all my pain and tears can easily be wiped and dried by a single kiss
We can just kiss make up and forget everything

All About Tonight

ALL ABOUT TONIGHT

The lonely nights are over
At least for tonight
I keep wishing it would last
But worrying and caring about the future
And what tomorrow holds
Is not going to be my business for tonight
I am going to live this moment to the fullest
I am forgetting everything
I am not going to fight the feeling
Come on hold me tight baby
You better take your time
Because we have all night

The loveless nights are over
At least for now
I keep asking myself if it's true
But wondering whether you really love me or not
If this is true love or not
Is not going to stop me
I am cherishing this for what it is now
I am closing my eyes
I am going to enjoy this sweet feeling while it lasts
Tell me this is love baby
I tell you it is weakening my bones
I am all yours for the taking

The chilly nights are over
At least for as long as you are here
I keep fearing you may go any time
But the fear of the unknown
And whatever is not yet here
Will not be allowed to ruin this lovely night
I am grabbing this moment with both hands
I am turning my attention from normal life
I am not going to resist
Let me hold you whole I have you my baby
We better not waste any precious time
Because tonight is all about tonight
