Start of an affair
In deep blue sea
bodies get hot
from ever shining sun
minds just wander
into the depth of bay
he sees a girl
with eyes like ocean
Reaching his emotions
nearly drowns
in shallow water
words fumble
slow starter
Finally gather thoughts
Tell her a lie,
Tell her a joke
Make her smile
Make her hope
Get her hooked
start of the day
Let her carry him
All the way!
Beginning of time,
commencement of life
how quickly Sapiens forget
we will regret,
once source is poisoned
beyond repair
In despair, lilies cry
Distances mapped,
caged and trapped,
No escape, one master
Time and its disasters
Can you turn tables
Start a resistance
Joining in rebels
Let it lose kingdom
Making it your slave
Slowing it down
Making it behave
Impossibility, it seems
an unthinkable scheme
non starter, will unravel
unless you know
before the morning glow
How to time travel!
I don’t want your money
I have no urge to steal
If only for a moment
you realise how I feel
Brought up in a ghetto
Parents killed before time
gangs all I have as relations
Inheritance not a dime
Leftovers for sustenance
held machetes, never a pen
Drugs carrier at five
Junkie at the age of ten
Hardened by daily beatings
Bullying is just for fun
betting my life everyday
roulette with loaded gun
Trading in crack, heroin
Thousands I do make
Wish I could cross thirty
before dumped in a lake
Dangerous liaisons
Stay away time
Assassinations, assaults
Robberies, crime
Millions looted
Can’t spend a dime
Tattooed gangsters
Trash talk mime
Target prime
Killed before thirty
I was the king, god to millions
Nothing to care for,valued in billions
it was not enough, delusion struck
lost everything, got deep in muck
now on the street, spend my days
Life is a struggle in many ways
Lessons I have learned tell truths deep
All this glitter, nothing to keep
Love, care, devotion only few
people stay put, when all others flew
Sweaty shirts
Short skirts
Forro swings
Heart hurts
Fans help
Cooling grooves
Samba picks
Thrilling moves
On the horizon, a sailing boat
A lonely soul at the helm
Eyes closed, meditating
Boat on its own, course setting
Take her to the destinations’ dream
Valley of the sun, desires but one
To meet the beloved
And her wish was heard
Hare, turtle, young and old
Slim, fast, fat and slow
Don’t you rush, rather hush hush
Let it flow, let it flow
Take you aim, fire at will
Take them out, blow by blow
Sapiens with courage, stop at nothing
Others scream, in voices hollow
Staring in the clear blue skies
Seeing black and grey
Don’t run away
Stay, colours will be back soon
By noon, along with a kiss
