make a move
tufa alvi Mar 2014
Hey, from the first time that I asked your name
It's like a drug that went straight to the vein
I feel a high coming on, and it's all because of you

We, could get it going like one, two
Freeze, put your hands up and surrender to me
I know I'm easy to read, and it's all because of you

I don't care where we sleep tonight
I don't care if it's in or outside
You know what to do
Make a move

You could throw away your phone
Make believe that we're all alone
I'm talking to you
Make a move, 'cause I'm ready

I've been thinking something you once said
That life is short, so let go of regrets
So then I take your advice, and I bet it all on you

Now, you're giving **** a whole new name
Yeah what I'm feeling is hard to explain
I'm thinking we're overdue, and I bet it all on you

I don't care where we sleep tonight
I don't care if it's in or outside
You know what to do
Make a move

You could throw away your phone
Make believe that we're all alone
I'm talking to you
Make a move, 'cause I'm ready

I'm aware of what you've gone through
Not afraid to say I've fallen for you
If you need someone to talk to
I've got the time

I don't care where we sleep tonight
I don't care if it's in or outside
You know what to do
Make a move

You could throw away your phone
Make believe that we're all alone
I'm talking to you
Make a move, 'cause I'm ready

Patience
tufa alvi Oct 2014
If thou speakest not I will fill my heart with thy silence and endure it.
I will keep still and wait like the night with starry vigil
and its head bent low with patience.
The morning will surely come, the darkness will vanish,
and thy voice pour down in golden streams breaking through the sky.
Then thy words will take wing in songs from every one of my birds' nests,
and thy melodies will break forth in flowers in all my forest groves.

Can we have some fun

tufa alvi Apr 2014
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men, or more, could ever do
Just like the rain, down in Africa
It's gonna take some time but I know you're worth fighting for -
I'd fight for you

Hey ba *** ba eh ba *** ba eh eh ba *** ba eh
I'd fight for you
Hey ba *** ba eh ba *** ba eh eh ba *** ba eh

Leave This
tufa alvi Oct 2014
Leave this chanting and singing and telling of beads!
Whom dost thou worship in this lonely dark corner of a temple with doors all shut?
Open thine eyes and see thy God is not before thee!
He is there where the tiller is tilling the hard ground
and where the pathmaker is breaking stones.
He is with them in sun and in shower,
and his garment is covered with dust.
Put off thy holy mantle and even like him come down on the dusty soil!

twelve o'clock
tufa alvi Oct 2014
Mother, I do want to leave off my lessons now. I have been at my

book all the morning.

You say it is only twelve o'clock. Suppose it isn't any later;

can't you ever think it is afternoon when it is only twelve

o'clock?

I can easily imagine now that the sun has reached the edge of

that rice-field, and the old fisher-woman is gathering herbs for

her supper by the side of the pond.

I can just shut my eyes and think that the shadows are growing

darker under the madar tree, and the water in the pond looks shiny

black.

If twelve o'clock can come in the night, why can't the night

come when it is twelve o'clock?

Flower
tufa alvi Oct 2014
Pluck this little flower and take it, delay not! I fear lest it
droop and drop into the dust.
I may not find a place in thy garland, but honour it with a touch of
pain from thy hand and pluck it. I fear lest the day end before I am
aware, and the time of offering go by.
Though its colour be not deep and its smell be faint, use this flower
in thy service and pluck it while there is time.

completing all the touches
tufa alvi Apr 2014
Her pupil shone –
Black stole a peek

Her smile wore sleek
Beneath a knowingness
That I would seek
A slipping down of garments,
Jealous of their role
To hide the jewels that complement,
Completing all the touches.

money
tufa alvi Mar 2014
Money's the motivation,
Money's the conversation,
You on vacation, we gettin' paid so
We on paycation, I did it for the fam
It's whatever we had to do, it's just who I am
Yeah, it's the life I chose
Gunshots in the dark, one eye closed
And we got it cooking like a one-eyed stove
You can catch me kissin' my girl with both eye closed
Perfecting my passion, thanks for asking
Couldn't slow down so we had to crash it
You used plastic, we 'bout cash,
I see some people ahead that we gon' pass, yeah!
tufa alvi Jul 2014
Oh mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
See, the sea wants to take me
The knife wants to slit me
Do you think you can help me ?

incomplete
tufa alvi Apr 2014
Bright lights, fancy restaurants
Everything in this world that a man could want
Got a bank account bigger than the law should allow
Still I'm lonely now

Pretty faces from the covers of the magazines
From their covers to my covers wanna lay with me
Fame and fortune still can't find
Just a grown man runnin' out of time

Even though it seems I have everything
I don't wanna be a lonely fool
All of the women, all the expensive cars
All of the money don't amount to you
So I can make believe I have everything
But I can't pretend that I don't see
That without you girl my life is incomplete
Said without you girl ahh

tufa alvi May 2014
It might seem crazy what I’m about to say
Sunshine she’s here, you can take a break
I’m a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don’t care baby by the way


Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I’m happy
Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do


Here come bad news talking this and that, yeah,
Well, give me all you got, and don’t hold it back, yeah,
Well, I should probably warn you I’ll be just fine, yeah,
No offense to you, don’t waste your time

Purity
tufa alvi Oct 2014
Life of my life, I shall ever try to keep my body pure, knowing
that thy living touch is upon all my limbs.
I shall ever try to keep all untruths out from my thoughts, knowing
that thou art that truth which has kindled the light of reason in my mind.
I shall ever try to drive all evils away from my heart and keep my
love in flower, knowing that thou hast thy seat in the inmost shrine of my heart.
And it shall be my endeavour to reveal thee in my actions, knowing it
is thy power gives me strength to act.

a moment's endulgence
tufa alvi Oct 2014
I ask for a moment's indulgence to sit by thy side. The works
that I have in hand I will finish afterwards.

Away from the sight of thy face my heart knows no rest nor respite,
and my work becomes an endless toil in a shoreless sea of toil.

Today the summer has come at my window with its sighs and murmurs; and
the bees are plying their minstrelsy at the court of the flowering grove.

Now it is time to sit quite, face to face with thee, and to sing
dedication of life in this silent and overflowing leisure.

her father may be a drugs dealer
bcos her eyes are so intoxicating
i feel like drownig in them all day long

her smile is so beautifull
i would even die to see her smile
her voice is so sweet
its like an angel singing
any thing she'd ask me 2 i would
the only time i chat with her its like i'm no longer lonely

life has only given me pain & heart breaks
but she's the only happiness i have
i wish i could love u till the day i die

tufa alvi May 2014
This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong
Who would have guessed it
I will not leave alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like it's not too late
It's never too late

Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late

No one will ever see
This side reflected
And if there's something wrong
Who would have guessed it
And I have left alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like
It's not too late
It's never too late

Wait 'til you’re announced
We’ve not yet lost all our graces
The hounds will stay in chains
Look upon your greatness
That you’ll send the call out

Call all the ladies out
They’re in their finery
A hundred jewels on throats
A hundred jewels between teeth
Now bring my boys in
Their skin in craters like the moonthe moon
The moon we love like a brother, while he glows through the roomthe room

Dancin' around the lies we tell
Dancin' around big eyes as well
Even the comatose they don’t dance and tell

We live in cities you'll never see on screen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Living in ruins of a palace within my dreams
And you knowyou know, we're on each other's team

I'm kind of over getting told to throw my hands up in the airin the air, so there
So all the cups got broke shards beneath our feet but it wasn’t my fault
And everyone’s competing for a love they won't receive
'Cause what this palace wants is release

I want your high love and emotion endlessly

Cause you're a good girl and you know it
You act so different around me
Cause you're a good girl and you know it
I know exactly who you could be
Just hold on we're going home
Just hold on we're going home
It's hard to do these things alone
Just hold on we're going home

I got my eyes on you
You're everything that I see
I want your high love and emotion endlessly
I can't get over you
You left your mark on me
I want your high love and emotion endlessly

demons
tufa alvi May 2014
When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood’s run stale

I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There’s nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide

tufa alvi Oct 2014
I thought that my voyage had come to its end
at the last limit of my power,---that the path before me was closed,
that provisions were exhausted
and the time come to take shelter in a silent obscurity.

But I find that thy will knows no end in me.
And when old words die out on the tongue,
new melodies break forth from the heart;
and where the old tracks are lost,
new country is revealed with its wonders

The secret side of me
I never let you see
I keep it caged
But I can't control it
So stay away from me
The beast is ugly
I feel the rage
And I just can't hold it

It's scratching on the walls
In the closet, in the halls
It comes awake
And I can't control it
Hiding under the bed
In my body, in my head
Why won't somebody come and save me from this?
Make it end!

I feel it deep within,
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become
The nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster

Shadows fill an empty heart as love is fading
From all the things that we are but are not saying
Can we see beyond the scars and make it to the dawn?

Change the colors of the sky and open up to
The ways you made me feel alive, the ways I loved you
For all the things that never died
To make it through the night, love will find you

What about now? What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?

I had a lush dream,
That one day I find
And marry a Queen.

She'd sit by my side,
Up there on our throne,
With princes and princesses
So we're never alone.

I can honestly say,
My dream has come true
And you'd never believe
Just how much I love you.

I may not be king
And you may not be queen
But together we're perfect
Just like in my dream.
