I've not set my eyes on you
But I know you're beautiful
I painted a portrait of you
In my heart
I can't wait to paint you
In reality

I watched a fly get stuck in a cobweb
The more it tried to get out
The more it got entangled in it
The frustration was real
It reminded me of how many
Are stuck in the cobweb of life
But one thing was common
With everyone who made it out alive
Unlike the fly, they stopped trying
And started trusting
Nobody gets rid of what's on the inside
By hurting himself on the outside
Trust someone with it

To die is painful
But I know of no other way up

The mind of a child
Is like a freshly cemented wall
Whatever is etched on it
Cannot be erased

Don't let anybody
Force you into their mould
You're more precious than gold

They laughed when I fell
But when they looked
To see if I was down
I was nowhere in sight
Because I fell upwards

I can never forget
Fifteenth July, 1997
That day in New Garden Suites, Room 205
When you inscribed your blade of deceit
Upon my innocent heart
When your shameless stick
Plunged forcefully through my flesh
And robbed me of my innocence
I never saw it coming
But how could I?!
When all I saw was a mask
Behind that sweet mask was a ferocious wolf
Waiting to devour at the slightest opportunity
I tried to wipe off every memory of you I had
But  for some reasons this one thing will not go
She stuck with me like araldite
And reminded me of that ugly night
When she was knitted in my womb
I call her Brona
Because her smell makes me sad

I love pencils
Every tiny stroke tells a story
But never shares the glory
We are nothing but pencils

When I fell
Nobody thought I did
Because I picked something
On my way up

There's no space between us
I feel such a great force
Binding us together
Like a cord that can't be broken
Hold my hands my lady
Let's go on a journey
To a city full of love and passion
No distraction
You're my one desire
You take me higher
Every thought of you sets me on fire
Can't retire
You have a home in my heart
A song in my mouth
What a joy that wells within me
When I think about you

Like a seed I was sown
In a soil deep and dark
hopeless and helpless
Like a prisoner in a dungeon
At the mercy of the guard
Keep me or discard me
My fate uncertain
Till the day of harvest
Alone in the midst of fellow inmates
Sentenced for life
Observing their state
A tiny hope filtered into ribs
Fed via a tiny hose
My only source of strenght
I slept in darkness
And rose in darkness
Counting my pulses
Hoping one day to see my kind
But like the plumule
I had just one target - the exterior
Waiting impatiently for the set time
Suddenly I heard a sound
The prison gate thrown wide open
But still I couldn't get out
From the other side I heard a deep voice
'At the count of three, push'
'One... two... three'
Whoever did the pushing I knew not
All I knew was that I was out at last
Though in the hands of the commander
But that bothered me no bit
After all for the first time
My innocent eyes saw the light
Tears followed a path down my cheek
I'm sure they wondered why I wept
Tears of joy of course
If only they knew my ordeal
These uncertain weeks
In my quiet heart I whispered
Free at last!

Voices in my head
Beckoning on me to wed
The me I left and fled
Far east in tears
Till months turned to years
And outgrew my old wears

Be still my soul
To never look back, my goal
Till my life is whole
Shout all you want
To be one with you I can't
It's not easy but I have learnt

She wears a mask - a multi task
Living in two worlds, what a life!
In the spotlight, flashligts
In the closet, torch lights
She cries at night and smiles in the light
But none can feel the pain she feels deep inside, so sad!
She hides her shame, lives In fame
And bears a name that no one knows
She sobs right behind a smiling mask
But none can see
She lives alone in a world full of pains and emptiness
With no real friends
The more she tries to hide the tears from falling
The more she dies within
She's just a perfect lie
And hides behind a smile
But deep inside she cries
But none can hear her
