Smoke & Mirrors
Sonia Ettyang Oct 2018
In the land of filtered posts beautiful lies fake smiles and instant likes
Lies souls with tired hearts and broken wings
Locked behind screens
Too scared to admit they are falling apart
Too scared to admit that they are drowning in despair
Too scared to admit they are afraid and alone
As they stare in the mirror, the real reflection stares back
Revealing the crooked smile and injured soul
But, no! they can't let the world see what's beneath their beautiful
So they drink a glass or three to drown it away
Puff a cigarette or two to smoke it away
When morning comes they'll pose for the camera fake a smile post up and play it cool
While they gaze at their screens and keep count on their "likes"
As soon as the sun goes down
The sadness creeps in and their inner voice roars
They drink a glass or three to drown it away
Puff a cigarette or two to smoke it away
Until the sun comes up and put it on repeat

Awakened
Sonia Ettyang Oct 2018
You're the divine Rock
The gem of my life
You read my soul like an open book
Filled my emptiness with your divine love
You're my oracle spirit
Enlightened my mind and woke me from the spell
You're my dominion
You took over my whole life
Brought down my fortress
Broke down every bonds
Nourished my soul
Fed my heart
I'm now awakened, the old me is gone
My eyes are wide open
I can see the perfect illusion

End of me
Sonia Ettyang Oct 2018
You see right through me
Yeah, you live right within me
The fibre of my bone
The beat of my heart
Your love is slow poison to my spirit
I'm chocking in Supreme bliss barely breathing
Everytime we merge I feel like I'm transmuting
Sky diving in divine ecstasy
Man, how can love give me life so good it kills me inside
Oh! this will be the end of me
Best believe you've got the best of me

Good in Goodbye
Sonia Ettyang Oct 2018
They say the mind replays what the heart can't erase
It's such a shame that this story had to end before it even started
We might have drifted apart, but your path and mine crossed for a reason
For sure if our hearts were old friends then will probably meet again
Somewhere far away but not here not now
It's time to let this go, time to write this off and cut you off.
See the good in goodbye

Grim Reaper
Sonia Ettyang Sep 2018
You're a grim reaper
Looking for a soul to devour
A mind to hack and a body to axe
Your empty eyes and that evil smile
Can't hide the fact that you're dead inside
You got the Jezebel vibes
Sound like a saint and feels like the devil
Forbidden is your tag
Dead and gone, your heart's nowhere to be found
Luring innocent souls into your empty shell
Got that charm that disarms
You're a grim reaper
A grim reaper

Open Your Eyes
Sonia Ettyang Sep 2018
In the dense of the forest
I feel your mighty presence
In the whistle of the wind
I hear your voice
I see your beckon hidden in the shaking of the leaves
Your energy is present in the sun
and radiates through the horizon
Mountains and valleys spell out your mystery
Ocean and the sea live to tell your might
Open our eyes and see Gods presence curved in nature
Extraordinary beauty that no words can describe
God reigns in your midst
God reigns within your essence
God is all there is and all that is not

Celestial Ecstacy
Sonia Ettyang Sep 2018
Gazing up the infinite sky
I see stars dancing in brilliant light
I see faces in the moon
It's a magical phenomena
Exploding like supernovas
It's a celestial ecstasy we rise again and again
Our souls are filled with joy
Our hearts with love
For a wild cosmic ride with our hearts open
Feel the bliss as we illuminate across the universe
Shine on, it's a limitless splendour
©Sonia Ettyang
We are the universe expressing itself in a human form for a little while

Chemical Romance
Sonia Ettyang Sep 2018
Your Love is my catalyst
Got my mind evaporating
Permeating my spirit
Saturating my soul
Oh, our love's a chemical reaction
Always on equilibrium
This bond is forever unbreakable

Love Yarn
Sonia Ettyang Sep 2018
Pull out our heartstrings
And make a love yarn
Weave in and out
Make us our favorite cloth
Will wear it out on our sleeves

Written in the stars
Sonia Ettyang Sep 2018
Each time our eyes met
Two worlds collided
You could tell what we were feeling
was beyond our control
Just like that I fell for you and you crushed for me
Everything flashed in front of us
Like a long lost memory coming back to light
And we are just picking up from where we left
This is a story, written in the stars
Two destined hearts meant to come together as one

Lone Wolf
Sonia Ettyang Sep 2018
I change like night and day
So don't get caught up in the moment
For It's just for a moment
I may ran away and hide, in the thick of the forest
But promise not to be alarmed
I'm fine all on my own
Promise you won't come out seeking for me
This is who I am
I'm a lone wolf
You got to understand
I need to recharge my soul
Stay clear off the noise
I'm a lone wolf
I thirst for freedom
Freedom to be alone sometimes
I'm a lone wolf
My spirit thrives on solitude
Without it I'll starve to death
But I'll be coming back
Back when my batteries are full again
Back when  my soul has gained back its mettle
Back when my mind, body and spirit are in one peace

Seed of hope
Sonia Ettyang Sep 2018
Plant a seed of hope in your  heart
Hope to make it through the night
When thoughts of fear and sorrow
Capture your mind and steal your peace
Be like a good farmer with faith
Knowing that the dry days will pass
And the soil will be watered
Once more you'll make a harvest
And your baskets shall over flow
With joy and laughter

Let it all out
Sonia Ettyang Sep 2018
It's time to listen to your heart
I know the pain is buried deep
And your wounds have all scarred
But today, is the day that you let your parts cry their grief
Delve deeply into your old pains
Blow up with rage and terror
Bring out the demons you've been fighting for far too long now
Bring them all out in the lime light
Let yourself cry through it all
It's the only way you will heal
It's the only way you will be whole again
Let the tears fall down
The pain is yours to heal
Let it all out, Let it all out

Flaming Hearts
Sonia Ettyang Sep 2018
We are flaming hearts
under the twilight
burning like wild fire
let our spirits fly
like kites in the sky
Surrendering to the winds of love
let the fires of our hearts
ignite  the skyline  like a phoenix rising
touch the moon
and reach for the stars
as our souls intertwine
and propel to the outer-space
loose control and find our destiny

Inside of a Rose
Sonia Ettyang Sep 2018
When I rise to the rays of the sun
And stand tall through the shadows of the thick bushes
You marvel at my beauty
You fall in love with my fragrance
How I wish you looked at me differently
And understand why I grow thicker thorns
Far too many times I'd watch my petals fall
Through the rainy nights with the greatest storms
I picked my self up and grew again, rose again
I learnt that I must wither and fall before I bloom again
And fill the earth with my radiant essence

Genie
Sonia Ettyang Sep 2018
His talk so smooth
His swag so fine
His smile so charming
Something about the way he moves
With one look, he gets all the girls hooked
You'll fall under his spell
But his in love with himself
He believes his magic mike
With a magic stick, and his wish is your command
To him your just a one time thing
He gets his thrills from his casual dates
Tomorrow he'll be out and about
Looking to lure his next victim
So stay away from his serial seductions
This one is a killer
This one is a genie

Solace by the Sea
Sonia Ettyang Sep 2018
By the sea shore,
I feel the love, I feel the joy,
I feel the freedom, I feel the power
From dawn to dusk, Your beauty never fades
You glisten in the sun shine and sparkle in the moonlight
Your infinite waters mystify my mind
As the motion of your waves makes endless melodies to my heart
You cleanse my soul and fill my spirit
You give me joy, you give me bliss
You restore my peace, you revive my light
Oh you've cast a spell on me!
I'm forever I'm indebted to you  
You're my home, you're my solace

Untrapt Butterfly
Sonia Ettyang Sep 2018
And then the butterfly untrapt itself from the chrysalis and spread its wings out
At last! its eyes were wide open and it marveled at every blossoming flower  
and sweetness of the nectar
with sheer joy it flew back to tell the caterpillars about its awesome discovery but none of them believed it
They doubted it because they have never had wings to fly and witness the world above ground
And so with every inch in the air  the butterfly decided to fly away and find those of its kind. Far it flew and never looked back
The end.

Wings
Sonia Ettyang Sep 2018
Your wings are ready , set yourself free
Heed the call and take a leap of faith
Jump off the nest and move with the wind
Leave the past behind
Have complete trust in the power of your new found wings
Rise above the shadows of doubt that blind your heart
And go set go
Sit on the weakest  branches, without fear of falling
Stand on the tallest buildings and enjoy the best views
Rise to the infinite sky with clear vision and  focus .        
Soar higher and higher to new heights
Feel the rays of the summer sun
Kiss every flower in the open field
Fly child, fly

Twin Flames
Sonia Ettyang Sep 2018
It was random, it was unexpected
But I felt like I've known you before , seen you before, felt you before
You looked deep into my eyes for the first time
And it felt like you pierced right through my soul
So much so, I couldn't hold your gaze any longer
But that twinkle in your eye was oh! so perfect, sigh
And your voice **** it! it struck a chord in my heart
Opening a music box full of forgotten melodies
Oh, well I think I missed a heart beat every time you'd get close
So I ran and you denied it and hid away
We pushed each other away
But I still felt you when you'd think of me
And each day you'd trespass my lucid dreams
Clouding my mind with thoughts of you
I guess it's crystal clear that there's no escaping this soul collision
We are destined hearts, together or apart
Our souls are in sync for eternity
We are forever imprinted on each other
Like prints on the palms of our hands
So lets let this  love flow endlessly
and burn,  to infinity and beyond.
