I must admit

(1-May-2011)

I conquered a fear

At last I did

A fear of “The Fear”

I must admit

Unknown to me that I could be

Free of worries that have crowded me

I sat there praying for my safety

As the wind scraped my face and my body

While sitting on a machinery

That was said to be of no safety

In shocking view of my reality

I realized that Fear was just my imagery

It had no way of knowing my ability

And therefore I broke my dependency

Freedom replaced the Fear in me

The Motorbike Freed the whole of me

The Growth of Trust

(03-01-2006)

How could this be?

Feelings so strong I can hardly see

Questions I ask…things I say

Nothing resembles me

At peace I feel, so strongly at peace

You embrace my heart with all your warmth

Trust is what you have offered me

Freedom is what I feel

Free to feel your love and free to touch my soul

Trusting you is easy

You made it easy

Reality is the truth

Delusion is what I used to see

Behind the wall I lived

So hidden and so serine

In private I divulged in vain as others caused me pain

You helped me break free from the chains I carefully wrapped around me

I trust…… I respect…….I feel

You

Thank you Poets Rally for Your awards

I want to thank you for the awards, i really appreciate it more than words can say, even my poetic attempt at thanking you would be limited to your generosity in giving me all three awards.

I wrote an apologetic poem to all those who left comments that i have been unable to respond to or dive into their poems.

 

I apologize

I want to apologize for my lack of interaction

The last few months were nothing but action

A whirlwind of events

A hurdle of content

My time has been spent

On others being content

I read your comments

I loved each one of them

I have yet to respond

To all of them

A few more days

A few more nights

I tell myself every night

Anticipating a little break

I hope to find time for my blog tonight.

 

Rhythm

Life is a journey and the journey manifests itself within the words and rhythm of a song.

Like the waves crashing against the shore comforting it with its constant melody.

Music lets your soul move into a transic state,

Feel free, allow the force of the music to sour into your soul.

Penetrate your mind

Caress your body

Kiss your heart

 

Meant to be

(10-Feb-2011)

Above it all

I want to fly

oh so high

Above the sky

I want to see

What life would be

A choice i have of This or That

This I say

but That i follow

Confussion fills

the all of me

I simply cant see

what’s meant to be

My Country

 (3 Feb 2011)

Tears trickle down my face as I watch the news

MY COUNTRY…….MY COUNTRY….

I can’t seem to find my space

I holler in anguish as I see the disgrace

From a peaceful riot came an outburst of hate

What happened to my people?

What happened to my Land?

Injustice has caused this upheaval to take place

But now there is a reason to back up with Grace

Until the interference of an unknown disgrace

Our riots were peaceful with one thing in mind

Democracy is all we needed to gain back our pride

Now what is this blood bath?

And what has taken place?

MY PEOPLE…….MY PEOPLE….

You must unite as ONE again

Where to begin?

(15-6-2006)

Reality hits the inner core of my being

Where to begin, how to begin

A look into the future, the want of being the best

A constant push towards success

A feeding urge to find ones self

A house, a car, a job, a self

All concerns towards ones health

To occupy, To fulfill

In a world which offers no thrills

Before the end, you try to find

The peace within the heart of your mind

Neglect of change, the need to stay

Colors so bright, makes it hard to see the light

A simple path…..some say it is

The harder one, well…lets keep as is

When the time is right we say

That’s when well find the God within

An easy task they say it is

To no avail life takes its toll

The end it says to the soul

 

Tender Heart of Stone

(25-Jan-2011)

I have been blocked Internally

I am unable to love normally

I am trying to heal

but its taking its tole

My tender heart has turned to stone

I am trying to love yet there is nothing to look for

The anguish…the pain…oh so much more

You must see what is happening to me

I wish i was free to love your way

But “Free” is not coming my way

I dont know what more I can  say

Logic seems to dictating my way

Pain inside

(25-Jan-2011)

A pain inside I can’t disclose

A spiral down a spiral up

It seems the down is where I’m at

What is this ach I feel inside

I try my best to push it aside

To no avail it lingers on

“I hate you all so much it hurts”

The anger grows and spirals up

I’m done with caring oh so much

I yearn for love

I yearn for light

And yet there is no such delight

The anger grows and eats me up

“I hate you all so very much”
