That Sunday
When I was running around with a headache, a tired body, questionable hormone levels and with the desperate idea of sleeping early.

Ended up in your bed...
Don't know if it was because of the chemicals in my blood or the feelings I've been trying to compress.

But I felt the sweet breeze of peace in the bedsheets, in between your arms, in your greenish eyes, in your nervous laugh, and in the air of the room, we've been sleeping together for some time.

I'm begging it's not an illusion or a cruel game that my mind is playing.

Cause it's almost like...
Feeling free in a prison
Sleeping in the middle of the day
Smelling flowers in the office
or taking a day off...

Scared, nervous, maybe a little crazy...

Doesn't really matter since I lost myself in the fantasy of being with you... every second of every day.

my eyes turn green when i cry
my soul turns black when i die


i don't know why it's happening again
should i let my mind decide for me again?
i'm tired of feeling this way
wake me up from this hell

how long until i break?
i wish i could start again
rewind, go back
i say to myself

i can't escape
i wish i could start again
what did i do wrong?
why do i feel so much pain?

rewind, go back
i think about it night and day

dis amper vyf jaar later.

jy drink nog saam my koffie in my bed tydens ons stiptelike afspraak -
op nostalgiese Sondae aande
wanneer die wêreld stilraak,
kort voor die week weer sy stophorlosie
aanpas.

die herinneringe tog só aanskoulik,
maar stééds kan ek myself nie bring om
jou stem te herroep nie!

voor ek jou kan vasgryp, weer saam jou kan lag
óf
my gesig sag teen jou bors kan vasdruk,
verdwyn jy,
en Skuld neem jou plek in tussen die lakens,
klink die koppie teen myne
gee ‘n grynslag
en sluk my heel in.

I remember Sundays when it rained
my father
downstairs playing the piano
and me
up in my room staring out the window
wondering where all this time was going
I wanted to be there
discovering whatever you discovered
outside the back door, over the fence
past my school to the main road
people were busy going places
rushing noisily, getting in each other's’ way
shouting obscenities, gesticulating
everything so important
they had to arrive when it happened
my father played on into the afternoon
as mum baked cakes and complained
there were a thousand and one jobs
he’d promised to do
only now I realise that he
lost in music, was trying to escape
all those people rushing nowhere, shouting
getting in each other's’ way
he had been out there and understood
just how futile life could be.

yeah,i was feeling like hell
on the path of my confused mind.
I wanted to scream my whole heart out
but clenched my fists try not to do,
as i was not permitted.  
and that feels like i was burning inside,
which was enough to frightened me
as I'd nobody by my side.
My grey eyes were fiery ,
the apprehension which i wanna share,
but now i am apprised of these things
that no one is gonna care.
After days months and years of chaos and
life-threatening situation
people stabbed me for no good reason.
I'd somehow managed to find a way to be happy
because i realized no one will come,
riding on black horse to save me or take my all worries.
I have to save myself, little by little, day by day
and I’m learning to breathe deep through it ,
and keep walking with a high head
and plastered a smile on my lips.

I saw Satan fall, vicarious and all, y'know
the storyteller, said
lend me your ears

should you chose to lend to a king on a verbal agreement that
the king repay the loan on demand
"ask and ye shall receive"
but you,
got nada t' lend,
best intendere covers only one bubble,
my ownliest one.
--- here, watch, see reality stretch
--- intendere stretch
--- seventh inning, whose at bat , but you,

ad lib ad hoc you are Casey...

and there, the story ended, I told it, oh so well

born in the po' house, had a cowbell for a toy,
sing me some ain't got no money blues

If i reckon I need money fo' me some ol' new shoes
if I reckon I need money I be be be leaven one set o' footprints
in yo' sand.

come turn that backgound buzz down low,
fall wit' me t'see the show

I saw Satan fall, vicarious and all, y'know,
like lightening black,
after flash,

in a movie, HD, 3 inches from my left eye,
my right eye never saw.

old time ******* could not imagine
the level of segregation
at the corpus colostrum epi-phun-junction

that can be employed to prevent the left
hand from being judged by the right,

for lack of knowing. Eh? Who imagined ignorance
was less bliss than this

peace past standing under all the liefy remnants
from trys
past trys, some same as now,

some how

better
with you aware of you being so valuable,

one part in eight billion, pure you, like,
tried, in the finer's fire,
seven times - in ever
there has never been
a snowflake more unique than you.

(snowflake recrudesence, there's a rub)

Tell me why would you imagine meaning
hidden in snowflake, the word?
is there a nibbler from society a-tempting you?

Come and see. Does that tempt you?
Sunday sounds in the back ground. The hermit tunes into ******* and witnesses the moment the tiny white butterfly chimed in,

Wishing y'all
A very great Sunday
When come through your wishes all
My prayer for you I say
GOD bless you all today
and always
Sundays at home, are overwhelming.
People who should think of future, are engulfed by fire of past.

Open your door to new friends, before their fingers are bruised by knocking. I said to myself... this Sunday.

Sunday is the oldest
The wisest
And tallest

She holds their hands
Across the street
So they will never be harmed

She drives them to school
Then goes to the pool

Homes their last stop
Doing this nonstop
Here's my poem about Sunday, whom plays a sister in this poem.
