Freedom declared
From hands of Pharaoh
But art have been mastered
Painted ourselves with colour of hatred

Blue rising against another blue
Self taught of being not good enough
Envying another instead of congratulations
Convincing one self that wealth is not a friend

Propaganda has anything to do with blue
Prison cells full of broken African souls
As convinced that we are worthy of conviction
Even persuaded of guilty of a fellow before proven otherwise

Till our eyes were ocean deep in the red sea
God knows we prayed
Till our bodies could no longer race against our heartbeat
God knows we prayed
Stood in the gap for the life of an amicable soul
As if we had the supernaturals to stop the universe
But still you said, "her day is done"

In the middle of the night
You strolled down the garden of Eden
With the angels singing holy holy
And picked up the most blossoming lilly
Of all the roses that were fading
Hand in hand shining like a piece of diamond
"Well done, well done" He said,
As He took her home, her eternal home

Today I'm in awe
Like great miracles
Perfomed a decade ago
That left prophet Habakkuk in awe

Today I tremble down to my knees
Like the Israelites at the red sea
When seeing the impossibilities
Of the sea being divided

As I say goodbye to the roof
That became my umbrella
In the rainy days feeling cold
And gave me warmth

I say goodbye to the house
That became my refuge
And a hiding place
Still I called it Egypt

Goodbye to the place
That denied me peace
But left me in pieces
I couldn't even pace

Today blood
Become thin like water
New relations awaits us
Finally I call it home

Love is a dangerous affair yet powerful
And it drowns you till you are left breathless
Yet you still desire to fall in love anyway

When He loves
Its never meaningless
He does it unconditionally

When He provides
Its never insufficient
He does it exceedingly

When He takes on your battle
He doesn't send angels
But He does it himself willingly

When He forgives
He doesn't only do it fourteenth
But He does it seventy times seven

And when He breaks you
He doesn't destroy you
But He does it with grace

I call Him one of a kind

I'm still gonna see you
In the midnight dreams

Your eyes full of sparkle
Ocean blue in the Mediterranean
In the middle of summer

I will be holding you
Through pocket sized necklace
You gave me while dancing under the stars

The photo album
We created the other night
While promising each other infinity

While dancing like old times
When they play our song on the Radio
And our feet just twitching to every beat

I'm still gonna see you
Because this is not goodbye

It is the radiant glow
We get when we grow
From the head to the toe
Like the sun set afterglow

I just want to be loved
Through all imperfections
All the flaws and demons
Not breaking this fragile heart
Into pieces that cannot be mended
Even by a man of gentleness
Who deals with love beyond repair

When I fall in love
I want a lifetime commitment
To see your eyes brimming with love
Looking deeper into my eyes through sunrise
Turning your morning kisses into my alarm
As you allow me to live within your heart
And never letting go even when it pours

He told me to count the stars onetime
And he said if I lose track of time
He'll love me for a lifetime

Every evening dawn
When eyes are never closed
Filled with tears of endless agony
The heart is forever breaking
Sinking deep into lifeless land
Where life becomes more impossible
Yet forever revealing this dimple smile of mine
Maybe if you can ask my pillow
It might show you how its drowning

What if...
Life is never complicated
Only specimens are just sophisticated
Making life becomes complicated?

Back in the garden
Named Eden
Where life began

Barefoot on the grass
Rain barrel between the arms
Pouring through the Iris

While busy springing up
Through these melodies
With my Ear drums on the petal tip
Hearkening to the vent of these Irises

You are too sweet
Yet excessively strong
My cold coffee in the morning

I wish I can take out my journal
And read out sweet words I've written about you
But till now your piece in my journal is still blank

I wish I can stand on top of the highest tunnel
And tell the universe how you've been there
but the world would end up helping in shedding a tear
because my story is almost the same as a broken soul

I wish I can boast about your presence
As much as I boast about my soccer team
But wouldn't I be labeled as a qualified liar
Since you don't even know the colour my tears?

I wish I can say you taught me to tap
Through the rain like a fearless cub
But you kept dragging your your feet
To reach out to me as if I had a contagious illness

And I wish you were there to teach me about self worth
But unfortunately you taught me the opposite instead
To rather find comfort on the thighs of strangers
Who later rejected me as well
Because I lost myself in the process

Oh dear daddy
You should have been there
To cheer me on when I was giving up
Instead of watching from a distance
While breaking my heart not once or twice
But million times again and again

I despised you that very hour
Of the way you left my heart in pieces
But today I woke up missing you
As if you never broke my heart

I waited for you on the roadside
Under the umbrella shadow you made
And I lingered till the sun fade
Yet you never appeared

Or too sluggish to Pace
In this destiny I'm set upon
There should be sunbeam
At the end of the tunnel right?
Yet I'm jammed in the middle of nowhere

Step backward Step forward
Still darkness shielding my eyes
No matter how extensive open my eyes are
Maybe I'm just blindfolded to see the tiny light ahead
Yet too sighted to see that I'm lost

I snatched a glance
Linear to my mother's eyes

Her eyes overfilled with tears
Overpowered by emotions

And I surveyed the configuration of the sea
Being yielded through the fall of my own

He chose her
Before she was born
And placed the ink
In the finger tip of her hand

Inside Mama's womb
He commended thy hands open
And handed down a scroll
Which carried a pen

Thy words cometh out of thy heart
Shall pierce like a sharp sword He said
And In the palm of His hand
She was kept safely hidden
While her words blast like a pointed arrow

I looked upon the sunset meeting the moon
As I sat there on the other side of the road
Lost in a train of flashbacks that kept moving
For a decade and century without reaching a destination
And all I had was this pocket-sized mirror before I
With a reflection of myself and I upon it
But all she saw was a broken piece not braced for reconstruction

Just two imperfect mates
Breeding perfection
through each other's imperfections

The pertinacious hearts
Breeding immortal devotion
through incredulous twinkies

In the end it made sense
When I enhanced
Personally for us
Yet he still chose himself

To dwell on laments,
Which corrupt the mind,
Ingest the soul,
And effectuate aperture to the heart?

Laments that only breed,
lividity,
Anxiety,
Even trepidation?

Initiating self-condemnation,
While free holding probability to Rise beyond
                                                          ­   Move past
                                                            ­ And letting go?

In the beginning was you
God visibility of the spoken word
Of which became flesh
Unblemished Jesus tendered as a sacrificial lamb

The son nourished through the Holy Spirit
Propagated through the ****** Mary
Clothed with the garment of the glory
Only for His blood to spill on the cross of agony
