A glimmer breaks through the clouds,
A single beam of white light drifts
through the skylight above
As I lay with back to carpet,
watching the fan lazily rotate.

The fan wobbles and creaks,
it’s paint chipped and weary.
Chains dangle below, rattling
And the blades blur in rotation.

I do not blame the ones of before
for seeing a single hopeful beam of light
and dropping to their knees in prayer,
tears dripping down in the face of
a savior, any savior.

The layers behind eyes flitting with
joy, eyes that dart about, drinking in the scene
to that of unseeing blank, wide mouthed
as if in awe of the world above,
stuck in their ways for eternity.

Even if I don't say it out loud,
I still search for you in a crowd,
Actually, I search for you in every place.
I look for you in every face,
Hoping it is your eyes that I find,
And yet you are nowhere - but in my mind.

Before I knew you
There was so much anticipation
I wondered a lot
About how exciting it will be
Once I know you
Know more about you
What makes you the way you are
So special in every sense.

It took me a while
There were so many huddles
Things did not work out
As I wanted
As I planned
As I thought it will
But finally it happened

You opened up
Little by little
Like a lotus bud
With time
You were not a stranger to me any more
I started to know you
In fits and starts
Like a collage
You appeared
In my mind’s eye
Amazing, fascinating
And worthwhile to go after

With time
Again you became mysterious
Amorphous
Nebulous
Making me to work hard
To be close to you
To be familiar
With all your moves

As time passes by
You still remain a moving target
Sought by many like me
To understand
You, the nature of things.

There's ample
Time to find what youre looking for
What are you looking for?
You need more?

Do you ever feel the blues?
Do you feel blues talking to you ?
Do you feel like all blues were sung for you?

Blues crying out loud !

Guitar telling me to go for it,
but the sax telling me to just,
let it be.
piano telling me to hold on,
but the harmonica telling me to just,
let it go.
the drums, the vocals, the song,
screaming at me and telling me,
just go for it.

Blues crying out loud !
I'm crying out loud !
Why do i love you so much ?
when you just don't care !
NO ! It just aint fair.
Is it fair?
when i love you so much,
but you just don't care.

Blues crying out of love.
I'm crying out for you.
i have fallen for blues the same way i fell for you

I've  seen many girls who look so fine.
Still I'm searching even night and day.
I can't find a girl who look so lovely.
You're one of a kind.
A lady like you shouldn't be seen on the street.

You set the standard for all prestige.
Your beauty plentiful just like plenty sand on the beach.
Your beauty is divine.
Fortunately I'm not diabetic because you're so sweet.

I would like to express my feelings.
Express myself so the secret reveal.
Full dedication I'm taking for real.
You and I was meant to be like a pedal and a wheel.
You're the treasure everyman wanna steal.
Excellent qualities with cross over appeal.

Can I take you on several dates.
Take you on a trip through West Indies.
Maybe we can spend some time overseas.
A happy marriage is all that I foresee.
Dedicated to my wife, inspired by Damian Marley song.

'We search the missing part of ourselves to make us whole,
Not knowing we leave others broken"
Hollau Apr 2018
I remember that night.
Sitting on the bench, side by side.
Both of us hungover; a dilapidated sight.

I wanted to tell you
all the thoughts which my heart had formed,
but my lips could not.

You smirked, almost as if you knew.

Our lives were once entwined;  
both of us tangled in the love of the other,  
now I feel as if our love is blind.

And we have lost sight of what we were.

Without you, there is cold;  
An empty void where my heart fell  
to depths I have never felt in search of old  
flames to reignite the spark you left.

I will never forget you;
I can’t ever forget you;
I don’t want to forget you.

You made me whole,
so I will keep searching;

I will remain broken until I find you again

However long it takes;
I hope you are still sitting on a bench
waiting for me

Rain drops
some little,some large,
Penetrate my skin,
as i stand here waiting,
Waiting for you.

Drenched in thoughts,
Soaked in lust,
Riddled and dazed i stand.

My bones shivering from the rain, yet
A small flame in my heart keeping me warm.
who is it, lighting this fire  ?
Who are you?
where are you ?
Why do i miss you?
I'm standing here waiting for you.

Wind and water crashing into my face,
Can barely open my eyes.
electricity passing through my veins ,
a shock straight to my head...
I shiver, i blow,
As i stand here waiting for you.....

Saoked and heavey clothed !!!
Broken and heavey hearted i stand,
waiting patiently for you to arrive.
Is it love or is it lust ?
Whatever it is, It is true that i want you !!!
Come fill my space and complete me.
It is you that i seek,
You and only you!!!!!!!
Getting drenched in the rain can sometimes do wonders to you.
