In your embrace
Sweet with your natural smell
Warm to melt the ice
I wanna fall and sleep
I wanna dream about us while you are still holding me
**** myself if I hurt you
Always defend you before the world
I wanna feel our hearts beat in unison
Feel them race like they have a trophy or medal to win
When I wake up, I wanna be married to you

Found myself on old roads that lead to you
No streetlights
No stars to light up the way
So I follow your voice
Inviting me home
Say let's put the past behind us and focus on the future
Because you've cared for me in ways no one ever did
That's why I follow you like I owe you everything
But you are married
Say there was never us
How we were so young and we fell in love so deeply
I have failed to erase the memories because they keep coming back
Paper into ashes
The fire has burned down everything
When it comes to you, it's like no matter what I'll come to you
Even though we slipped off, we can find our standing ground again
Maybe  stay friends till we drown into what we lost before
A love well designed by architects we never met
Could have been God
Maybe it wasn't
For what he puts hands on
Always lasts forever

Sweet mellow of the dawn
Mellifluous like the nightingale
Warming the ambience of the neighbourhood
Wafting from the house closer to ours
Voices of Whitney Houston
Charm for the heart
Falling over for it
The song should play on

Fear creeping  for the door is open
Now I'm scared of little Monsters in the closet
Nightmares that could make me crawl to mama's bed
No good memories of Halloween
The little hero of myself I had to become
Break walls to get me gold
Some days no strength left to carry the hammer and so just lay to the floor
For I was constrained
Slowly had to build the confidence
Without the help of alcohol or anything stronger
While drenched to the skin and in the cold, couldn't shiver like I had the bearskin
No sweat when closer to the hottest flames
Like I was one step closer to being a man
Beard the lion in his den and not be at anyone's beck and call
Awaken the Hercules that was in somnolence
Tell the truth and make more enemies
Karma is a *****, I didn't cut anyone
But each time, they keep coming after me
I feel my heart beat and that's how I know I'm breathing
Google won't tell the story and so I'll
In the eeriness of the world, I came out strong
Aura of benevolence always embracing me
Like humanity had me in its glove
So nothing and not a blade could pierce through my heart for I was strong
Always ready to fight for my throne
Believed in change and looked forward for the change coming
No treasures for my sight to buy my truth
I kept my voice loud
Made friends that cheered me up to the next step
Made some enemies too
That was a test of my persistence
How far i was willing to go
And It's another year and I'm still standing tall

She says
She never wanted a dolphin and neither a wolf
Neither bronze nor gold
Neither money nor fame
Neither honey nor lemon
None of that could bring to life what she lost
The love of her life

Cynosure of all eyes
A sight for sore eyes
Coveted girl in the neighbourhood
There's a horde outside
Waiting for the exhibition of the diamond she owns
Beauty dripping on you like cream on a cone
That kind of glare that could make a man blind
A glint of hunger brimming in my eyes
A hunger for your love
I feel a scratch in my stomach
Could be butterflies and more
Like which world are you from
Your body is built like Rome
A round of applause when you walk
With the je ne sais quoi in your possession
You are a model and there's no doubt
Born into la dolce vita
You don't seem to have a scar
Mona Lisa of the present time
I sailed the world searching for you
Because I heard your dulcet tones
I fell into the waters
Are you a siren inviting me for hostage in your treasure nest
Hollywood stars in the flash of the cameras
Smiles beckoning and taming my wild heart
Do you have the midas touch?
You're glittering like gold
My solicitude for you is because I love you
That's the deepest secret in my heart
I've failed to pen down my emotions
Scared they could tear me into pieces
When you walk away from me
I may not hide my dismay
So I'll become an introvert till I heal from the pain
She embraced me with remorse in her eyes
With emollient words in her whispers
Nibble on my ears till the frown faded
Like Hansel and Gretel we've escaped from the witch's house before
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss like Romeo told Juliet
A reverie about The Ravishing Queens in our lives
Enchanted by you like I'm under a spell
Maybe it's the music giving me this epiphany
I'm hoping it's true love not an infatuation

Remember the times we used to sneak out at night
To go and catch fireflies
Grab a jacket and cup of coffee on nights that were cold
Chess was the game for getting ourselves new friends
New faces before signing up for Facebook
That was our way
Trying to fit in
Each chance we got was always ruined
We had to build our world
Not minding being rich or poor
White or black
Tall or short
Long as we always looked out for each other
For we had us and that was beautiful
And it mattered
