When You Wake Up...
Listen to the sound of silence,
The heart beat of time,
The chirping birds -
Find my message in them...

I am not the perfect picture.
Fancy outside but, broken inside.
But you are like Picasso to me,
You paint my scars quiet.

Your smiles colour my dark days.
Your love is fresh as dew on grass.
I cherish the look in your eyes.
I find strength in thoughts of you.

And just in case I show it less
Doubt not that I care more.
For within me its written
That you mean a lot...

Your dimples sink my heart,
Your shyness excites me,
Your free spirit is uplifting,
Your past shapes your attitude.

So in case I fail to say it
Read it in the blue sky,
The sound of silence
Heartbeat of time...

When you wake up,
Know that I was thinking of you.
For Mbali :)
