Big Brother
I found out about you recently, you died before your birth.
A long time ago, but I hope that I get the chance to see you...
In the near future, on a paradise earth.
I wonder how things would be if you were here, wish I could get a Preview.
I had a dream about you...
A person very much like me, but far from the same.
Ever since I heard about you...
I've had this picture in my head, everything minus a name.
I sometimes wonder what it would have been like to have an older brother.
Would I have ended up...

Ice & Fire
I had always loved the cold.
Greeted it warm like an old friend.
Welcomed it into my abode.
Always hoped that’s how my world would end.
There are glaciers in my bloodstream.
I exhale a winter breeze.
I perspire mist people mistake for steam.
My blood vessels tighten, it`s hard to breathe.
My heart is algid.
My tongue has frost bite.
My heart is pallid,
More like a block of ice.
My body is numb.
I can`t feel my toes.
I am not dumb.
My brain hasn`t froze.
This hypothermia seems pretty neat. ...

Differences
People are afraid of what they don't understand.
What they don't know as well as the back of their hand.
Afraid of a man from a different land.
Or people who do stand...
...by their beliefs, their way of life..."why are they so different?"
They hate them for being different, can't be bothered to be tolerant.
The fact is, we are all different, even though they say we are all the same.
No one thinks, feels, and completely looks alike, we've all got different DNA.
So why hate on differences when we are all unique?
Different but beautiful colors...

Green
No one is as or more beautiful than her, her picture has to be taken.
So perfect that no one envies her, but she is the topic of most conversations.
There is no mistaking, she`ll take your breath away..
Not just once in a while, but every single day.
Her breath is a spring breeze, just so refreshing.
Her tears are summer rain, always a blessing.
She is one of a kind, her uniqueness cannot be denied.
Her father presented her to man as the perfect bride.
He loved his wife, promised to take care of her, always and forever.
They were made for one...

I Want You
YOU wanna know what's Beautiful?..Then Read That First Word Again.
Outta all the women my eyes are set on YOU, can we get together? Make it happen?
I want you Girl...let me in and I will never leave you...by your side is where I will always stay.
You came outta my dreams and Stilled My Heart right after you took my Breath Away.
So Wonderful... Girl that's what you are.
I wanna be your sky, will you be my star?
Coz you always shine... Whoever says that you don't is Lying.
You're a marvelous work of art but a lot more fine.
Girl...

Definition of a Girl
This is at last, Bone of my Bones, Flesh of my flesh.
That's what Adam said to Eve when they first Met.
See it was all meant to be, a girl captures a man`s heart instantly.
formed from one of man`s rib, she`ll always be a part of me.
always be in my life, there to love, always be my whole world.
she`s my hope, my one, my destiny.. thats my definition of a girl.
A Girl`s a Mother, A lil Girl`s role model and a lil boy`s first Love.
A daughter, who is God`s gift to loving parents from above.
A Girl`s a Sister, A girl`s a best friend.

Overtoun Bridge
Everyone wants happiness. No one wants pain.
But you can't have a rainbow, without a little rain.
What do you want? Wealth, happiness or fame?
For one thing, you are extremely talented, But outta that, satisfaction you do not gain.
You are always outgoing, proactive and you are never shy.
But its a false pretense coz You meet each day with a sigh.
Dunno what you're going through, you never complain or cry.
Searching for answers as inside a lil you die.
Don't you know there's "hell" in hello, and "Good" in goodbye.
Don't you know that in the...

Staring at space, ear phones plugged in the dark.
Waiting for something as simple as a little spark.
I am aglow in the dark, thinking of everything that I want and need.
Sending location signals every second to the vultures that fly and feed.
But I cannot run, and I most certainly cannot hide.
From them and from what I think and feel inside.
I really tried changing a bit, but my efforts were & still are in vain.
Everything that took place this year.. Next Year will be the same.

Star Gazing
Wouldn't it be, the perfect crime..
If I Stole your heart, and you stole mine?..
If the answer is yes, then baby gimme a signal or sign..
A flashing light, a stunning smile, a star that continues to shine..
Pretty Princess I've been noticing you for a while.
Pretty Princess all I wanna do is make you laugh and smile.
Make you stand up tall, Wanna Erase all your fears.
Catch you if or when you fall, Wanna make sure that you never shed any tears.
I've only spent hours that feel like days, weeks like months, months like years.
Getting to you...

Ms. Sunshine
You are a perfect dream come true.
Its not a lie when I say "I want you".
You are the first thing I think about when I wake up during the day time.
Look out the window see the sun..that's why I give you the name Ms. Sunshine.
Girl you got me going crazy.
I wanna be your babe.
I wanna carve our initials on a tree.
Would you be my lady?
I wanna make you smile whenever I'm around.
I wanna catch you before you hit the ground.
Your voice, your laughter is my favorite sound.
At the top of my itunes playlist is where...

Topsy Kretts (Part I)
If you play this game, you are destined to lose.
Because when we play, its by my rules.
Hidden like a needle in a hay stack, hidden like a grain of salt in a sand dune.
A forked tongue hidden behind the cheeky smile of this man who...
...makes promises and statements that tickle ears.
This man who says words that would make people wait years...
...for him to take action. He will do it, of that they are sure.
If only they knew what happened behind closed doors.
The plots, the schemes, the cusses under breath.
The meetings with your...
