Happy Birthday To You
Beautifully shaped patterns,
each line in so much splendour.
Your name spelled in a finger print
on little hands so tender...
Your fire danced inside a halo,
the perfect flicker to a flame.
Inside your mother's womb,
no one will ever be the same...
The day when you were born,
first chapter told the tale.
The start to the sweetest story,
so Inspiring without fail....
and as the first page turned,
the pen started in celebration.
In a twinkle through brown eyes,
God smiled at His creation...
...
each line in so much splendour.
Your name spelled in a finger print
on little hands so tender...
Your fire danced inside a halo,
the perfect flicker to a flame.
Inside your mother's womb,
no one will ever be the same...
The day when you were born,
first chapter told the tale.
The start to the sweetest story,
so Inspiring without fail....
and as the first page turned,
the pen started in celebration.
In a twinkle through brown eyes,
God smiled at His creation...

Addiction
It's so damn difficult
not to lose control
Each time when you get close
you somehow change it all
That whisper to the ticker
a beat I couldn't find
you pace it back to rhythm
that tune I left behind
Straight from a sweet seduction
your essence makes it so
the perfect drug's addiction
how could I let it go....?
It's so freaken hard
to keep myself at bay
hot flush of nerves takes over
adrenaline all the way
Guess that's the line it draws
Guess I should now stay sober
That...

The Greatest Gift
As the skies fold over the horizon
that's when God's devine sigh
arms stretched out in pleading
higher than the eleventh sky
to....
Where God sit,
Where every star is lit,
Where each sin we commit
was erased with the Greatest Gift!
When the rain race down in gush
that's when God's Holy Water bless
those who choose to repent
and with bending knees confess
to...
Where God sit,
Where every star is lit,
Where each sin we commit,
Gets erased with the Greatest Gift!
Once the heavens echo in...

arms stretched out in pleading
higher than the eleventh sky
to....
Where God sit,
Where every star is lit,
Where each sin we commit
was erased with the Greatest Gift!

If only
One moment that's on hold
if we stay lost inside it's space
swimming in a flush of red
covered all over that face
If only ..... truth were told
Paralyzed first few seconds
doubt creeps in behind the scene
we wished to somehow read
those riddles lined up in between
If only ..... you knew me
You wouldn't look at me
once the better turn to worse
inside that...
if we stay lost inside it's space
swimming in a flush of red
covered all over that face
If only ..... truth were told
Paralyzed first few seconds
doubt creeps in behind the scene
we wished to somehow read
those riddles lined up in between
If only ..... you knew me
You wouldn't look at me
once the better turn to worse
inside that...

Indefinitely
When they detaste you,
no matter what you do
Try harder
Push further
Dig deeper
don't turn bitter...
and when they belittle you,
the first chance that they get
Absorb it
Ignore it
Hide it
and survive it...
cause when they take it all,
letting go is inevitable
Voluntarily
Intentionally
Purposefully
So indefinitely...
cause all they do is judge,
not seeing who you really are
Never care
Never share
Don't look elsewhere ...
no matter what you do
Try harder
Push further
Dig deeper
don't turn bitter...
and when they belittle you,

Absorb it
Ignore it

letting go is inevitable

So indefinitely...
cause all they do is judge,
not seeing who you really are
Never care
Never share
Don't look elsewhere ...

Sweet dreams
When you rest your head at night
letting the day's hustle and bustle go,
releasing it from the top of your head
right down to the tip of your toe.
I will ask your smile to linger
and blissfully warm your heart,
so that when you drift away
all your troubles will depart...
When your breath start slowing down
and your gaze start fading away,
I will paint you a picture of pedals
colouring your journey on the way.
I'll ask them to dance on every moment
that excites your inner core,
so that every memory of it at dawn ...
letting the day's hustle and bustle go,
releasing it from the top of your head
right down to the tip of your toe.

so that when you drift away

When your breath start slowing down
and your gaze start fading away,
I will paint you a picture of pedals
colouring your journey on the way.
I'll ask them to dance on every moment
that excites your inner core,
so that every memory of it at dawn ...

Silence
It's your void I am bound to
the timeless vacant mass
fragile, bending and always available
It's your tireless embrace
the control over every thought
consuming, draining and unbreakable
Why do you stay yet i'm always alone?
Why do you whisper hope in my ear?
How do your silence speak so much volume
if it is deafening through every tear?
It's your tranquility that stays with me
the constant reminder of solitude
so seedless, empty and binding
It's the constant pretending
the false image that I...

Giving up
We are giving up
on You my God
Your promises are not for all of us
We may be alive,
but our sin has smothered Your grace
It has hardened our thoughts
and now we are blaming You...
We're blaming You for ignoring us,
while we deal with this world's absurdity
We're blaming You for leaving us
to drown in our own adversity
What's going to happen to us
when faith cracks up inside?
It's supposed to be the sinner's Cross
that'll lift the vail of Your bride!
We're giving up
on You my God
It seems Your...

Battle
Droplets following the line down my eyes.
One after another they fall,
to the pounding in my head,
towards your memory that I crawl.
Your battle wasn't yours to fight,
your pain wasn't yours to bare,
your future was so bright,
your departure was never fair...
Your face it haunts my mind.
It is the reality I now know is done.
Someone I will leave behind,
cremated to ash as you have gone.
Your battle wasn't just...
One after another they fall,
to the pounding in my head,
towards your memory that I crawl.
Your battle wasn't yours to fight,
your pain wasn't yours to bare,
your future was so bright,
your departure was never fair...
Your face it haunts my mind.
It is the reality I now know is done.
Someone I will leave behind,
cremated to ash as you have gone.
Your battle wasn't just...

Psychological Torture
It's just
One of those days
When I remember the pain
When I remember the shame
That one that deserves better
Which you made me out to be
It's just
One of those days
Verbal abuse echoing again
When I hear all the blame
Of who I could not be
Which you made me believe
It surfaces again
Tied up to your exposure
It surfaces again
Psycological torture
It's just
One of those days
When my dreams are in vain
Where my damn life's the same
When you stole it through my...
