A birds Symphony
The bird that broke its wing
Sang a sombre song
It sang all night long
sang for the sunrise
Sang for the moon
Sang for recovery
Hoping it will come soon
The bird that broke its wing
Whispered with the wind
As it was the wind
That lead the song into the air
But all this bird could think about was her
The bird that broke its wing sat there
Waiting for what it knew was already true
The bird sat there whilst knowing
She was already in the air
For she sang a sombre song
A song so strong
For it reminded her...

Death fell for Tragedy
Death and Tragedy
Had a conversation
Trying to figure out
which of the two
had a bigger impact on you
Tragedy was your playmate
Whilst Death became your soul Mate
But Tragedy came into your life before Death
Yet Death Has chained your heart ever since
Tragedy introduced you to Death
But Death was my mutual friend too
Yet I never knew that before I met you
Tragedy's identity has been stolen by love
For love is Fought For
Whilst many Fear Tragedy
as much as they fear Death
And that is How Tragedy and Death became...

Four
I don't know when
was the first time I met you
But I can tell you of the many moments I've shared with you
I don't know when
was the first time I called you
But I can tell you about the many
Conversations which I've had with you
I don't know when
Was the first time I walked with you
But I can tell tales
Of the many steps I've taken with you
I don't know when
was the first time I held you
But we both know
Of the many hugs which we have shared
I don't know when
I first wrote this poem about you
But...

A Letter To You
I never got the chance to address us, I never got the chance to address me and I never got a chance to address you.
Because of you I have grown but because of you I have fallen to the bottom but because of me I had to end us in order for you to grow and for me to be a better me.
I hate what we have become as I never fathomed we would get to this point.
I only hope that you are having the best life
I only hope that you do not miss me because some times I still miss you
I only hope that I can move on as I have found greener grass
But because of You I cannot...

I want to know you
I want to know you
Not just know you but really know you
I want to know you beyond what many think is a level of knowing
I want to know whats in your heart
I want to know whats in your mind
I want to know your body
I want our souls to touch each other
In a way your soul has never experienced another
I want to be rooted in your
spirit, as you grow within me
As we enjoy each others fruits of intelligence
I want the gods to marvel at our being together
Like we were given our own united page in the book of life

!!!I HATE YOU!!!
I hate the way you make me feel
I hate the way I look at you
I hate your voice
I hate your body
I hate the fact that you taught me
Spirituality
I hate the fact that you hate me whole heartly
I hate your back story
I hate the way you nurture
and feel empathy for others
I hate the fact that you're a natural beauty
I hate so much about you
But you know what hate is a strong word
And you make me feel strong
So every time I said hate
Just replace that word with Love
Because thats the way I really feel
About you
I hate the way I look at you
I hate your voice
I hate your body
I hate the fact that you taught me
Spirituality
I hate the fact that you hate me whole heartly
I hate your back story
I hate the way you nurture
and feel empathy for others
I hate the fact that you're a natural beauty
I hate so much about you
But you know what hate is a strong word
And you make me feel strong
So every time I said hate
Just replace that word with Love
Because thats the way I really feel
About you

Disconnected
I have always wondered if souls connect:
If our souls have connected;
touching each other
while we are apart from each other
if love was always in the air
are we breathing in the same love
or is one of us inhaling infactuation
surrounded by floods of emotions
I am not sure that my soul can survive this
Drowning and I am not even sure that my soul
has your souls hand.
If our hearts have the same beat
one of us has no rhythm
and we have no sync
many words shared
but I don't know when Last I really spoke...
If our souls have connected;
touching each other
while we are apart from each other
if love was always in the air
are we breathing in the same love
or is one of us inhaling infactuation
surrounded by floods of emotions
I am not sure that my soul can survive this
Drowning and I am not even sure that my soul
has your souls hand.
If our hearts have the same beat
one of us has no rhythm
and we have no sync
many words shared

three
poisoned by love
i am dying slowly
my spirit is flying like a dove
you are that light:so heavenly
my heart is stopping
it keeps skipping
a beat
poisoned by your last treat
tasteless
yet the opposite of useless
i am going soft
my thoughts are set on one...
are you the one?
my veins are going cold
frozen words
you make me speechless
fate is killing me
destiny is reviving me
but the stars are praising you
if i'm the moon all i want is you
universal feelings
frosted mentality

two
she told me she loves me
i couldnt return the favour
she said im the right guy
i didn't give her the right to love
as the clouds cover me
i had to reigh on your parade
then the truth of the matter came
when i got what i really wanted
i didnt grab it
i guess we are all fools
somehow i took a leap of faith
i dont think i deserve her
but she chose to stay by my side
even conquered my pride
young love
i still havent said the three words
but i hope she knows
because this is our happy ending
i couldnt return the favour
she said im the right guy
i didn't give her the right to love
as the clouds cover me
i had to reigh on your parade
then the truth of the matter came
when i got what i really wanted

One
just like that
it happened
just like that
whats that
trying to decode
like that
touching without touching
like that
we are connected
knowing you
without knowing you
i guess you never know
what happens next
like that
its gone
then its gone again
until it leaves
like that
its our last chance
it happened
just like that
whats that
trying to decode
like that
touching without touching
like that
we are connected
knowing you
without knowing you
i guess you never know
what happens next
like that
its gone
then its gone again
until it leaves
like that
its our last chance

Heaven weeps
1.Does the snow

3.that you exist
4.does the rain entail that heaven weeps
5.weeps in joy
6.paradoxing lifes hardships with your beauty
7.even when the ground shakes
8.my heart quakes
9.only in your presence
10.i guess mother nature gave you to the earth as a present
11.its said that numbers can solve eanything
12.But i still cant figure you out
13.Volcanos may erupt
14.its only when i see your beauty

You are my song
I think i finally understand
why were not in the same band
Im no drummer so i dont know how your heart beats
im no pianist i guess i dont know the key to your trust
im no Dj so me and you wont mix
im no guitarist i dont know how to play the strings of your soul
im no singer so my voice wont touch you
you are my noise
my harmony
my beauty
you're that kind of art
you are my favourite band
But i guess this stereo has no repeat
i cant even hear you're beat
it used to be a treat
to listen to,YOU girl
