Baby

I've never really seen you before,
But it feels like I see you daily, times four
I am health adherent, I don't take drugs outside doctor's prescription,
But you are the first drug I would take based on advice from a physicist, not a physician...

Even my brain now works like a computer
The only difference is you are the input and you are the output. 
For a regular computer, it would be garbage in garbage out.
But I'm no regular computer.
I'm a super computer,
So it's my baby in, my baby out.

You say inner beauty is what you crave for?
With such a beautiful smile,
I can only tell it comes from a beautiful inside...
Stay beautiful baby
Stay beautiful

Love So Tender

When I think of her
I think of love so tender.
When I need the tender, 
She's a big spender
She never stops to pamper,
All round the calendar.

With a traitor 
On my breeches,
She turns into  tailor
And makes me some stitches.

When I think of beauty,
That's her duty
When I think of splendour,
That's her true colour

I caught a strange behaviour
She just endured
And like a jewel vendor
She kept me secured
So just for her I want to sign an undertaking 
With this piece of writing 

Never to fall her hands
Or make her put them on her head
But to put gifts in her hands 
And crowns on her head

Like a gold mine
Surely she is mine.
I fed from her bosom
And began to blossom
It made me this handsome
My queen she's awesome

I ate all the fishes
And refused to do the dish
Yet she met my wishes
And more of me she'll cherish
She is like no other
I can only adore her

When I think of her
I can only think of love so tender

Without a Woman

The man is lion of this jungle
Armies to him are humble.
He runs non stop to make things run
And never let's a crawl walk until it runs.
The man runs the world
But he would keep running in circles
Without a woman or a girl.

When he wants, he wants
When he needs, he needs
Whatever it takes he is
And he never stops until he stops.
The man runs the world
But he would keep running in circles
Without a woman or a girl.

The wars in his nerves rage
So he makes rifles to pursue relief
But only in the bossom of that which blossoms
He catches relief.
The man runs the world
But he would keep running in circles
Without a woman or a girl.

The man battles nations and comes out unmarred
He goes through hardship and comes out unscarred
But one battle he never won since Adam,
The need for another.
The man runs the world
But he would keep running in circles
Without a woman or a girl.

Finally he finds education
And social elevation
But doesn't find a good thing
Until he finds a wife.
The man runs the world
But he would keep running in circles
Without a woman or a girl.

Give Me Fire

You say the earth is round
But I don't fall off
No matter how long I travel around
I don't see Europe by looking up
Nor get there by climbing down a rope
Don't give me honey
Give me fire

Don't give me chicken 
Change, it's too cheap
And don't ask me for some change
I have none in my pockets
None even within the closest distance

You say no man is an island
You are not an island
You are worse
You are an evil forest
Rather than the genesis of beautiful revelation
You are the chronicles of many lamentations
Please keep your honey
Just give me fire

You look at me
All you see is a sealed open mouth
But that's because you've been looking down
Look up and you'll see the hero I can become
Look straight and you'll see a reflection of yourself
Don't give me honey
Give me fire

I am gold.

Truth

The skies crumble on our toes
And our walls fall like Jericho's
But like the house of Rahab,
We can stand
So when we find hurt,
Let us heal ourselves together

When I neigh, you think I hiss mtcheew!
So we are split like fractions
Conquered by our exploiters
And exploited by our conquerors
We have missed understanding,
Let us find her together

The wars in our heads are worse than those in Sambiza
So we jump into lagoons
Hoping to quench the fire
But that only sends us to the lake of fire
Let us find each other's battles
And fight them together

We are  lost to lust
That we find each other's fears and make them tears
One finds an aisle
Another builds a mountain across
Let us find each other
And tell the truth to each other

Less Human

What if my ears were deaf to music 
And I was born without fingers,
Would it make me any less human?

What if I eat of the streets
And have no place to lay my head,
Would it make me any less human?

What if I was born away from home
And have no one to call my own,
Would it make me any less human?

What if I had no rover, but only legs
To range over lands,
Would it make me any less human?

What if I never make profit 
And poverty wears me like a skirt,
Would it make me any less human?

Joy

Joy
It smells like the sea on a warm evening
It tastes like cold water on a sunny afternoon
It sounds like 123, ABC, my favorite rhyme
It feels like wine in a wine glass, what better match?
It looks like the green of the earth from a distance
Joy is pretty and it lives inside of me

She Drives Me

She drives me like a bus
And tests me to know who's boss
When she wakes, I'm either happy or sad,
Gloomy or mad

She wakes up before I do 
But would never ask what I'd like to do
Rather she shows me a mask 
And says 'paint what you want to do'.

White is for calm
Yellow is for lukewarm
Green is for fine like palm,
Pink for nice and warm
And red for harsh like balm

So I stay calm all day
Or let her happen to me
While I watch her like a play,
Allowing her to play me 
Like an aucostic on key A.

Sometimes she makes me act like I'm forty,
At other times like I'm faulty
But I know a thing deep down,
That I have been fixed from time
By the ultimate fixer

So the next time she shows up,
 I'll be set for a show down
For I have power
Coming from my tongue
To paint what I wmt.

Now when my day storms at me,
I'll say peace b still,
When my world turns me down,
I'll turn up my self
And I'll stay fixed

I will laugh
I will smile
I will freely give kisses
By all means,
I'll stay happy

So the next time she shows up, 
I'll paint her pink, green and white.
When I don't see what I want,
I won't doubt, for eye have not seen
The measure of joy that I posses.

Move On Without Me

The feelings are just as they were in the beginning.
Your voice is still the same 
But something is just not the same.

So I wake up every morning looking for what to blame it on....
Maybe it's the time and space between us
Or just the strife in my head.

It is strange how yesterday
I called you love and today 
I can't even say your name.

We had refreshing moments we never would have wanted to come to an end till the end but right now all I want is to click control+delete.

You are still beautiful like every other time
I haven't seen you in a while, but the picture I have of you is as beautiful as ever and my memories of you, just like yesterday,

I erred, you came back.
I erred again and again, you stayed put
But this time,
I want you to move on without me,
You deserve more soul than I can give

Green

Green is beauty full
Like the earth
From a distance,
Far from the
Anti greens
