True beauty
Let time and space be captured in a picture, let the beauty of the world be found in one place. / Let me adore the treasure searched for by kings. Let me look at your face and believe paradise exists...

Heartache
I'm not perfect, i'v made my mistakes. / I regret my past and fear the future. / The world is cursed, and it cries with the pain of loss and rejection.

Trojan love
Physical beauty and lustful attraction / Is how you entered and became the centre of my affection / Adorned by rubies and jewels of great value

Songs of Memphis vol2
Memphis to Girl: Come away with me to a land of dreams, a land as sweet as the nectar of the bees. / Girl to Memphis: In this land will you be mine? Will you forever be by my side? / Memphis to Girl: I'll be your sunrise when you wake, the sunset when you sleep. I'll carry your dreams in my heart, your words will be my guides in life.

Parental guidance
What i am to them is an ornament. / My value is determined by the scales they use. / Freedom is a dream that looks far from reality.

This world we're in
Corrupted by the polution we visualise through our television screans. / Acting out sin as life because of the stage of immorality this world is in. / Exchanging love for lust because of the confusion soap dramas and movies bring.

Life goes on
She looked him straight in the eyes and said you'r lieing, he looked her straight in her mouth and said i'm not. / She looked him straight in the heart and said you dont love me, he admired her hair and said i do. / He leaned forward for a kiss, she moved back and coughed a bit.

My muse: My inspiration
My poetic muse in times of love. / The colour of my passion, the centre of my inspiration. / With your eyes you inspire me towards the stars, with your crystal shine you light up my mind and inspire me to write.

Release me from these chains that have bound me since birth
Killing myself is not an option, but killing everyone around me is. / To be honest this life is a bore. / Everyday gets harder, and each step seems further away.

Mrs right
He got tired of the bachelor life, the same routine of a new girl every night. Hanged his shirt and quited the game, left the spotlight that brought the wrong kinda fame... / So he began his search for misses right, stopped fulling around night clubs till day light. Visited the library, took walks in the park, even whent to church wearing a tie, searching for so called, mrs right. / He searched and searched till the days where nights. He searched all over till 2 years past. He grew weary of church, bored with libraries. The people at the park started pointing at this weird man who took walks by himself.
