Who should i say my heart is given to?

The rose of my garden which has such beautiful petals
Who bestows an aroma only fit for angels

Or should i say the beauty that hath slayen the beast
The fairest of fair which chose an undeserving me

Oh who oh who should i sayest art thou?

Who keeps the key, that locks my heart.
Who has become the reason i now chirp with love

Oh who oh who is this maiden?
Oh who is my love
who is my angel

Do you know how much i care? How much i worry? How much i hope we stand the test of time and age together?

Do you believe my words? Do you see my tears? Do you feel my pain and know my love exists?

Are we more or just another? Am i forever or till you grow tired?

Am i your one? Or just a number

While the stars burn in the sky and the moon falls. While the milky way collapses and planet earth moves from its orbital axis.

Let me be in heaven.

Let me be there still standing. Walking the golden streets with you as my diamond shining ever so bright, by my side. Let us live forever, forever holding hands. Let us be forever, with eternity cryng, 'when will it end!'.

But if its not so, and i am not there. Let me love you forever, till i burn in hell. Let my bones fry as i look up and see heaven with you inside. Allow a tear to come from my eye, one of happines to see you'er way up high. Allow a smile, to grace my burns, as i look up high and say, 'she once was my girl'.

That angel above this sinful world.

Hath the world known beauty, it would recognise her

Discovering what many die longing for

Hath love and kindness but a face, its lips would be succulent with sweet nectar

Its skin would be as soft as the velvet robes of persian kings

And eyes as bright as the northern stars that point to my heart

Hath beauty known the beast

She would have known i exist.

Better to have never loved, than to have loved and been left in the cold alone with a broken heart.

Better to have told me in the start that you weren't going to stay, than to let me build a mansion in which every night i will spend alone.

Better to have never said i love you, if you didn't mean forever.

When looking for a girl we always look for the fairest,
say we want that rose,
that girl so perfect.

The beauty of the petals captivates and calls you closer.
The fragrance they give captures the victim in a deceptive aroma.

But go deeper down and you'll see her true beauty.
Deeper down to the depths of her deception.

The true beauty of the flower is revealed underneath.

The thorns of this rose will rip you open with lies and deceit.

Leave you bleeding and removed of your dignity,
not believing that such a beauty could do this to you.

Her fragrance will no longer smell so sweet. The colour of her petals will remind you of the pain they give,
hatred will blosom from you within,
for the rose ripped you open and cut through your skin.

Penetrated your heart with a knife you helped build.

That kiss you cherished.

That love which destroyed you from within.

The **** crowed once and i denied our love, i was tested and passed in immoral lust.

Temptations came in my moments of weakness, the world was arrayed infront of me with all its riches.

I turned the bread to stone, i bowed down and gave up my evil soul. I broke my heart by braking yours, i let you down, i failed the trial.

Babes i'm sorry.

Babes dont hate me.

Please dont leave me, stay, forgive me.

Dont brake my heart like i broke yours.

Dont make me cry, after your gone.

I confess my heart to you. I acknowledge my wrongs are passed and true.

But please forgive me, stay, dont leave me.

I'm tired...

Everyday
I die by the minute

Every hour
I cry for relief

This world is built on pain

From the banishment of Eden
To this moment

This world knows no joy

To cry is meaningless
To complain is meaningless

To die...
This is a work in progress. Help and/correction is gladly welcomed
Yandisa mhlana Mar 2010
When i stand by you time seems still
I look at your eyes and see us in eternity oh how i wish that wouldn't just be a dream

With time you have become more than i ever thought you could be
With time you have broken the bounderies
you led me to believe
You have built a place in my heart
please dont plan to leave
You have planted a seed
let it grow
stay
dont leave

Dont throw stones in my glass heart
dont light fires around my emotional yard

Dont do anything besides love
dont do anything
dont leave me behind

The lips that create a sensation so wild.
The hands so soft, love felt in every touch.

I miss every inch of you that there is to love.
I miss every satisfaction you bring when your around.

The hair so clean, shiny in its pure blackness. Softly i touch it, as your head draws closer for our moments of passion.

Your body so warm, tender with love.

Slowly we cuddle, slowly i find more reason to love you.

Your voice so gentle, sweet when you call my name. In silence i wait for you to call me, to tell me you love me with words so caring.

I wait in patience for moments with you.
I'd wait eternilly if i had to.

Cause for you my eternity i'd give up, if i'd get a moment in your arms before i die.

When i was thirteen i had my first love
Life seemed like paradise
I was still young

Now i'm eighteen
And i'v had a million loves
The paradise is lost
And my journey in this cruel world has just begun

I'm not perfect, i'v made my mistakes.
I regret my past and fear the future.

The world is cursed, and it cries with the pain of loss and rejection.

Betrayal
Lies
Adultery
Love

Pawns in a game played by the heart.

Truth
Loyalty
Passion
Hope

Allusions conjured by the clouded and misguided.

Depraved souls
Dammed from birth

Humanity is dieing
Crumbling away

Loosing the battle
To an enemy seen only by reflection

I sit in my room and try to imagine my future
I cant
Not for lack of imagination or lack of trying
But for the lack of purpose

I see no reason to walk on the path of others
And i see no reason to start my own

My family looks to me for the future
I smile and tell them it is bright

They do not see that i myself am in the dark

Pain
Sadness
Loneliness

But a few words to describe me
Yandisa mhlana May 2010
Succulent lips that have become my indulgence.
Finely shaped, is it wrong to say they're perfect?

Indisputable tenderness, creating sensations of pure happiness.
Moments with them are eternal pleasures in minutes of passion.

Inspiring stars to fall, convincing gravitation to hold back its attraction and lift us up until we reach the heavens.
Kiss among the planets while the stars float around us dancing.

Kiss eternally

Kissing my only.

She looked him straight in the eyes and said you'r lieing, he looked her straight in her mouth and said i'm not.

She looked him straight in the heart and said you dont love me, he admired her hair and said i do.

He leaned forward for a kiss, she moved back and coughed a bit.

He touched her hand and pulled it close, she pulled it back and pretendde to scratch.

She turned around and walked away, he got his phone and called another girl.

Life goes on.

As i stare into your eyes like im looking into an abyss. As i pry deeper, all i see is emptiness.Has it vanquished? Or runaway? Was it ever there in the first place?Only you can answer, only you can know, if you ever loved me, if you ever cared for me before.

He got tired of the bachelor life, the same routine of a new girl every night. Hanged his shirt and quited the game, left the spotlight that brought the wrong kinda fame...

So he began his search for misses right, stopped fulling around night clubs till day light. Visited the library, took walks in the park, even whent to church wearing a tie, searching for so called, mrs right.

He searched and searched till the days where nights. He searched all over till 2 years past. He grew weary of church, bored with libraries. The people at the park started pointing at this weird man who took walks by himself.

After years of searching he quit the quest. Concluded that in life, there is no mrs right...

Heaven has beauty the world will never see,
peace the world will never have,
and angels the world will never know.

Yet i have found a beauty amongst the nations,
peace in a smile that calms my storms,
and an angel in a world full of evil.

This angel has become salvation to my lips,
redemption to my heart,
a blessing i cherich dearly,
and an eden to the world me and her are building.

The fruit of this garden is the love we share,
the happiness we bring,
the memories we make,
and the moments i'll never forget.

She's my heaven on earth,
my joy in a world full of hurt.

She's my girl.

My world.

She's the angel undeserving to live in this world.

As i stand and wait, fear grips me.

As i imagine what is to come, anxiety and worry cannot help but consume me.

The thoughts of the future frightens me, will this be the end? It cannot be.

Will i loose her like many?

Like the multitude that have come and gone in my life. Like the never ending romances that have wasted my time.

Will she be like the rest? Or is she my true destined love?

My poetic muse in times of love.
The colour of my passion, the centre of my inspiration.

With your eyes you inspire me towards the stars, with your crystal shine you light up my mind and inspire me to write.

Your words and love have become my ink, your stubborness and pride the fire to my dreams. You carry me further beyond my limits, break my borders of normal thinking.

My muse.
My inspiration.
The epitome of my poetic nature.

As the petals dropped in what felt like time standing still. The roses lost not only their beauty but also their reason to live.

The sun seemed cold and hell looked warm and friendly. Heaven became a dream that mortal minds could not understand.

And so i longed to converse with the earth, to solemnly plea for it to take me in. Open the graves of forefathers forgotten, remove a few bones and take their impassive positions.

Spend eternity dormant and hopefully forgotten. Leave the world of pain to the hypocrits that run it.

But alas i cannot even bargain with death, for truth betold i am a coward.

So destined am i to trod this rode alone, for naked i came, and naked i shall depart.

From this cold hopelessness world.

Lovers
Dreamers
Lend me your ears

Lend me love
Lend me compassion
Lend me hope that today's acts are only a passing

Lovers
Dreamers
Lend me your ears

Lend me the foundations of love which you are based on
Lend me life
Lend me your religon
Lend me this culture that seems so emotionally indefferent

Lovers
Dreamers
Lend me your ears

Lend me this pagan religon of love unpure
Lend me the ability to love my wife and more

Lovers
Dreamers
Lend me your ears

Teach me this immoral act of lustful cravings
Teach me how to love you today and your sister tomorrow

Lovers Dreamers lend me your ears
Is it right to say i love?
Is it right to say i do?
When love just means:
For today i love you.

Pain, My existence
love, My fantasy

i dream of days to come
the days i hear about
when it will be better
when it wont hurt so much

I am lost

I am confused

i am crying
on the inside

I am broken

Is this poem doing what its supposed to
Am i reaching out?
Am i wasting your time
Havent written a poem in years, just wrote words that came to me. Want to get back to writing, i was in high school when i stopped. poetry helped with the loneliness

What i am to them is an ornament.
My value is determined by the scales they use.

Freedom is a dream that looks far from reality.
Freedom is for the full who's destined for poverty.

A puppet of their play, they control me with strings.
Make me dance the mariet and clap hands and their so called brilliance.

A pawn in their game, they expect me to win.
Feed me steroids of spiritual wisdom and belief, to become the warrior destined to free them from their doom and misery.

The mascot they use to boost their fame.
Expect me to tell the world, they're the reason i am this way.
A well disciplined, obedient good mannered boy.

Parents and teacher.
The wardens of teenagers.
The tormentors of my soul.
Yandisa mhlana Sep 2010
With a leash around my neck i bow to drink.
Commands telling me where to step and how to breath.

They claim to know what i truelly need.

Know whats best. What will make me succeed.

Yet deny me life and the right to live.

They dont trust my words, call me rash and impatiant.
Believe i'm a teenager who knows not right from wrong.

To be free, what should i do?
Runaway from home or commit teenage suicide.

They think they know best.
When really, they dont know who i am at all.

Pathetic.

Like life itself, what is the reason? What is the cause?

I pity the fool. I pity the world. I pity myself living in this world.

The pain, anguish, anger, poverty, etc. There is no end, a year of grief seems like eternity. The things we behold and commit, change the 7th commandment to be thou shall not admit. Change the ways to suit our wants, ***** our needs, we only live to get pleased, satisfied, filled with sin.

Why not end life now and go to hell? Burn for a while then dissapear with no more pain. Who wants heaven for eternity? Always living and smiling eternaly.

Let it all just end now...
Yandisa mhlana Feb 2010
I guess it was expected
Didn't need a soothsayer to tell me this would happen

I took a risk that didn't pay of
I gave it up just to loose and fall

With tears in my eyes i say goodbye
As i turn and leave the sea opens wide

And in i swim in search again
For another fish to fill my world

Killing myself is not an option, but killing everyone around me is.

To be honest this life is a bore.
Everyday gets harder, and each step seems further away.

Am i to give up because of the challenges?

Am i to succum to their wim?
Bow like a servant and bark like a dog?

Believe their hypocrital lies and apply them to my life?

Do they wish to chain me with their instructions?
Tell me to behave when they're the ones breaking every commandment with no remorse.

Tell me to respect while they judge us for our past mistakes and point fingers while we pass.

Am i to be what they want me to be? Or be free.

Locked in lust with dreams of deception. Tricking my senses to believing she's right next to me. Waking up in the morning in search of her body, only to find a wet sheet and embarresment.

She is to be desired, with curves in her skirt that leave a man lustfuly wired.

She's got me wondering if she's better than desert? Cause my sweet tooth be aching everytime she's moving.

Temptation is clearly in the picture, capturing her essence and describing it as an addiction. Obscene pictures being conjured by the mind, if storing was possible, they would be filed under 'heavenly delight'.

An ****** diety in my temple, worshiping her body as the idol of perfection.

Viewing and inspecting her in class, drooling over my notes when she drops a pencil and picks it up infront of my desk.

Oh how i love to pass those tests, knowing she'll be watching when i'm applaud for being the best.

Will i ever make it into her life? Maybe if i do her homework she might just give me a chance.

Or better yet, even a smile.

Girl to boy: Take me away, take me in your arms so strong and tender.

Boy to girl: Come closer my love, for let us be together. The worlds an evil place, but our love shall be our fortress.

Girl to boy: In your arms i feel safe, under your chin i find rest.

Boy to girl: In your words i find love, in your eyes my soul finds rest.

Girl to boy: Do you love me as the stars love the night? As thieves love gold? Do you love me or are those just words you know?

Boy to girl: Stars may not be seen on cloudy nights, but in times of trouble i'll be there for you. Thieves run away as soon as trouble comes, but i'll turn around and protect you from harm. The words i know i use in my books, the words you hear are formed by my heart for you.

Girl to boy: Love me, care for me, dont leave me.

Boy to girl: Until the sun becomes dark, until the earth becomes desolate, i'll love you till eternity ends.

Memphis to Girl: Come away with me to a land of dreams, a land as sweet as the nectar of the bees.

Girl to Memphis: In this land will you be mine? Will you forever be by my side?

Memphis to Girl: I'll be your sunrise when you wake, the sunset when you sleep. I'll carry your dreams in my heart, your words will be my guides in life.

Girl to Memphis: The words you speak ignite my heart, but will we make it alone in a world we don't know?

Memphis to Girl: For you to be on my side in that world, i will have already made it in ways this world we'll never feel or even know.

To Death be the glory
Great things it has done.

To Death be respect
For non can outrun

Oh reaper
Oh killer, slayer of men

Take me swiftly, take me gently
Take me now if you can

The medieval days of this modern world, the cruelty, corruption that runs our society.

In this state of darkness is there any hope for light?.

In this loveless world can i believe in a fairytale life?

In this lustful generation is there any love?

In this planet of sick emotions is there any pure love?

Love, live and never forget to laugh.

Wise words.

But in this day, does anyone still love?

Only at night does the world show its true face, only with stars do people stop their pretend.

Only at night are  the games not played, everyone becomes the robber and the cops aren't there.

Only when children cry in their beds, do you see humanity fully expressed.
Only when children escape through windows, do you see the leaders of tomorrow.

Only at night do the stars come out, only at night do wolves howl at the dark.

Only at night is the pain really felt.
Only at night do people kneel in prayer.

Only at night do people dream of a better place, eyes wide shut and hope no-one shakes them awake.

Only at night and not during the day.

For in the day, we all smile and pretend we're all ok.

Corrupted by the polution we visualise through our television screans.

Acting out sin as life because of the stage of immorality this world is in.

Exchanging love for lust because of the confusion soap dramas and movies bring.

Having unlawful urges convincing us to sin cause of the ****** they are said to bring.

Unknowingly chasing hell because it is hidden by short skirts and alcohol, the pleasures we indulge in.

Dieing every day.

Sining cause we know no other way.

Truelly all man have gone astray.

Til the morning comes.

Til the sunbeams hit my eyes and i believe you're mine. Til the night vanishes in a dream, and reality for once becomes real.

Til i am where i should be, next 2 u, with no space between us except a synaptic connection of hearts intervention.

Til fate and destiny intertwine to bring the future into this time. A future so bright it lights up my life, pullng me out of immoral darkness into your heavenly presence.

Til it is safe to call u mine, without the fear you'll leave me behind. If life goes on, let it be with you. Holding hands, maybe share even a dance if the stars will light up the night and give us just a chance.

Til the morning comes i'll burn the midnight lamp.

Til the morning comes, until we dance.

Til the morning comes, for that single chance.

Til the morning comes

I'll never allow you to leave me
Never let you walk the road alone
You're place is by my side
Where you belong is marked as where my love resides

Even nature sees that we're ment to be
The flowers bloom at the sight of our love
The bees hum a song
And the birds join the tune with a sweet sound

Why defy what the stars have written?
Why ignore what you feel for me?
So it is written
So let us be

Together held by each others arms
Together walking each step with love

Physical beauty and lustful attraction
Is how you entered and became the centre of my affection

Adorned by rubies and jewels of great value
Your outward appearance antegonises your inner beauty

You where not there to love
You where not there to please

You came to rip open my heart
You came to disturb my inner peace

You took over in the glimpse of an eye
You left me destitute with your wooden lies

You came you saw you conquered
I was fooled was played was left alone and broken.

Let it be known that she knew her future, let it be said that she was emotionally prepared.He was what she knew, a player of the game. An all star athlete who only played to break her heart.Within weeks it was over, that wasn't a surprise. Within moments she was forgotten, they always are.He came he went, she wasn't hurt, cause like them all, he was just another ****.

How could a dweeb like me get a girl like you? How could a nerd like me get the hottest girl in school?

Its a mathematical error, a scientific problem. We've broken the laws of nature, such things were never ment to happen.

Yet we are here, and still going strong. With a passion that seems to burn all night long.

The 8th wonder of the world is how such a beauty and majesty, could withstand to kiss a guy like me so passionately.

— The End —
