In my dreams,
I’m running fast
As fast as I can go
The wind is now my radiance
And is encouraging me to grow.


In my dreams
I feel humanity
I’m free from all my tears
And I feel no more affliction
And escape those trying years.

In my dreams,
I stand on my own two feet
I have established my strength
For no more will I be beat

In my dreams,
I don’t look back
For this journey I can take
I don’t know what’s ahead
But I search before I wake.

What if the grass was blue and the sky was green,
What would this mean?
What if the sun was cold and the wind was seen,
What would this mean?

What if birds could speak and man could fly,
would you reply!
What if night was day and day was night,
would I be right!

What if beauty wasn’t skin deep but as hard as stone,
Would I be alone?
What would it mean if I were you and you were me?
Would the grass be green and the sky be blue?

I tell you now, as this is true.

The grass is green but never greener,
The sky is blue and the sun does shine,
The wind is a breeze, a breathe of fresh air,
so count to ten to start again,

Bird’s fly high, they are so free, sit and watch as you will see,
Beauty is within us all, no need to find, someone will see,
So remember this I do not lie,

You are you and I am me.

My body is my temple
Like the English rose that will bloom
The goddess of my kingdom
To the scent of my perfume.

The beauty from the waterfall
That runs down me crystal clear
The magnetic feel of my touch
I can declare to be sincere.

The mystery that you yearn to unfold
Like the unwritten story desired to be told
I stand in the background, but have no disillusion
For I am not the fantasy,I am not just an illusion.

The calm from the Ocean
While the breeze flows through my hair
Close your eyes, As I inspire to share
I’m the goddess you’ll find
As I know; I’m unique and one of a kind.

Will you love me in the morning?
When you waken from your sleep
Will you kiss me just before you dream?
And know that I’m yours to keep.

Will you wipe away the tears from my face?
And embrace me with your affection?
Will you encourage me to do really well?
And tell me it’s been done with perfection.

Will you smile at me, though, you may be angry?
Will you shadow me from any harm?
Will you speak to me with loving respect?
And turn on your cheeky charm.

Will you make me feel like a million dollar’s?
So I know I’m worth every dime
Will you love me just for being me?
Through every season and all the time.

Will you gaze at me like you do no other?
And light up everyday of my life?
If you promise to never hurt my heart
Then I would be honoured to be your wife.

I need to ask a question
To all you guys out there
For years this has been bugging me
And drives me to despair.  
  
Men seem afraid to speak to me
Though I’ve met them one time before
They make me feel like I’ve grown two heads
I don’t understand and I’m really unsure!

They laugh and smile with everyone else
And shy away in my direction
But as they pass, they discreetly smile
And that’s from my own detection.

I’m really confused and I don’t appreciate
When men speak to me, they look to the floor
Especially when they converse to others
Eye contact is given for sure!

I merely step back into the background
As I don’t seek too much attention
Why do men throw me a smile?
But at the same time convey me rejection.

A conversation, to be treated the same
Is all I’ve ever asked for
But as they engage on eye contact with me
Men throw me away and ignore!

I try to rewind the scenario
To see where I went wrong
I’m not a flirt but it really does hurt
When men can’t speak to me for long.

Do you think that you can enlighten me?
To why men treat me this way
I truly do not understand
And I invite you to have your say!

Mother of my world, we faced so much pain,
The fear from his voice Just drove you insane.
He made you frail, in everyday life,
You were his trophy and not his kind wife.
He would come home drunk, perforate your ear,
Mother I held you and wiped your last tear.
From the street, to see you, lay on a bed,
You ended your life; I thought you were dead.
But God shone over, as you done no wrong,
He gave us each other, he made us strong.
You tried to protect me; you have no shame,
The pain became numb, father was to blame.
You found a new life, a good man to love,
I thank every night to God up above.

I have no more tears, please just let me be,
For your not the one who will set me free.
Life is demeaning; I don’t see the light,
For you have no torch that can shine that bright.
I want you to pass and go on your way,
Know not to stare, take your weight and don’t stay.
My voice, has no voice, who should I now blame,
I’m down on my knees but whom will I shame.
Me? A little girl! Of just nine years old,
I’m hungry, alone, it’s dark and I’m cold.
I dare not move, a statue I will lay,
My eyes I close tight, my voice I now pray.
Who do I shame, this man spills like larva,
My dignity I keep from you father.

I would swim the largest ocean,
To search and light the flare,
I would climb the highest mountain,
To save you from despair.

I would place myself on the front-line,
As my strength would be you’re shield.
I would run through the forest of darkness
And fight the stormy field.

I would hold you close all through the night,
To show dreams can come true.
For the love I hold inside of me,
Would always be there for you.

Should I seek for the place of understanding?
Or do I remain in this place of the unknown?
Should I walk the walk to shed some light?
Or do I presume this light bulb has blown?

How do I go back to the beginning?
When the end was so unexpected?
I need the answers to my quest,
So I no longer feel dejected.

I try so hard to make sense of it all?
As I lay awake although the night,
But the message is clear, as I shed a tear,
So I have to turn off the light.

But then I feel there’s been no closure,
So I turn the light back on,
I gaze out the nightly window,
And I ask why this all went wrong?

How can I mend this hole in my heart?
When it’s been left with no needle and thread,
How can this be, why did you do this to me?
Words that were spoken; without being said.
