The saddest day there’ll ever be
when nature sobs in harmony
Planet Earth will cease to be
and Heaven sends her sympathy

We will see the rainfall pouring
tears that never end
pooling in deep waters
as she cry, cries
until the angels die
falling from the heavens
drowning in her waters deep  
their wings too wet to fly

We will hear the wild winds howling
screeching through the trees
calling out in misery
The Earth is on her knees
The angels that watched over us
are nevermore to be
The saddest day we’ll ever see
The death of Planet Earth.

They have spent their
content of simpering,
holding their lips this
and that way, winding
the lines between
their brows. Old folks
allow their bellies to jiggle like slow
tamborines.
The hollers
rise up and spill
over any way they want.
When old folks laugh, they free the world.
They turn slowly, slyly knowing
the best and the worst
of remembering.
Saliva glistens in
the corners of their mouths,
their heads wobble
on brittle necks, but
their laps
are filled with memories.
When old folks laugh, they consider the promise
of dear painless death, and generously
forgive life for happening
to them.

Like a roller coaster you take me up and down the slopes of life
And I still wanna get high
Though your kisses sometimes stings
I don't care I still wanna sing
They say you won't amount to anything for me
I say they don't know me
They say our friendship won't last
I gave them the history of our past
Of how you came into my life and gave me a life
Of how you gave my low self esteem a death blow
Of how you leap out of my thong and I'm filled with joy
Of how in you I delight in the worship of my lord and saviour
With you I'm known
With you I know
With you I'm respected
With I'm expected

Like a strong liquor
you fill me to a stupor
Tearing down all walls of terror
Silencing all thongs of rancour
Your presence modify my slim frame
Your essence brightens up my sad face
Shielding me through the arrows of rejection
Moulding my walls against dejection
Failure has no place in my vocabulary because of you
Misery runs away from me because of you
The umbilical chord that binds us together by God is as strong as the impenetrable wall of china
And my love for you is as unphatomable as earth itself which stands aloof without a string holding on to it

Like a beautiful damsel you toy with my heart and that of other admirers
You shatter my heart into pieces like no other girl would ever dare
You make me cry you make me smile
You make me burst out in laughter at your funny jokes
But I know you'll make me proud to be by your side one day
Taking me to the peak you promised the first day I said hi
Placing me before kings and people of worth in places so high
How dare they think I'll ever leave you or you abandon me
We are bounded together for eternity you and I
And nothing can separate us
For you are my blood you are my flesh
You are my bone you are my skin
In every fibre of my being have you enveloped your immortality
You don't need to follow me
You are in me
My music
My life
