Mr Mandela – you really were quite the fella

Stay little girl stay..
You were that butterfly, just waiting for a chance to fly
You kept asking me when, why and how, today or tomorrow?
When will you get a chance to go up high in the sky?
Acting like time is something you can only borrow
And I tell you just to slow down, relax and breathe
Just do and don’t worry if you stumble and fall
I am not going anywhere, I am not going to leave
And all you ever have to do is call
I don’t need the details of your history
Nor do I ask that you try to forget,
It may remain your personal story or mystery
Yet many of the...

Your Girl - Secrets (Part2)
Deep inside the crevices & labyrinths of my mind
Lair to the secrets you hope to uncover & find
The one's that catapult create cause commotion
Engaging all my elicit evasive elusive emotion
You wish one day to devoutly dissect
The lullaby's of my live wired life
The same one's I whisper when I sleep
Hidden entombed encapsulated inside deep
You will penetrate the depths of my eyes
Attempt to subterfuge all possible lies
Offer to entwine me, envelop me embrace
Together we will conquer the world we will face
...

Your Girl
I am always still gonna be that girl
who has no need for a diamond or pearl
even old & grey, no longer nimble or nifty
and on the other side of fifty
I'm still gonna be that girl
who enjoys the occasional twirl
the one who entices you to her lair
hoping there will be secrets to share
The one that says what is on her mind
the kind you seldom find
the one who's life you'll try and change
organize, feng shui, re arrange
The one who has her own set of tools
and doesn't lightly suffer fools
the one that you'll...

Game Set Match
the scars run so deep
it even keeps me out of sleep
perhaps it is all in my head
but it is also keeping me out of bed
all those secrets and stories
laid out in their full glory
has made me confused
left me feeling very abused
you should feel some shame
for playing a stupid game
i should be blamed
for thinking you could be tamed
so instead it has me amused
a little beaten & bruised
you may have won this war
but i promise it wont happen any more
but you're welcome to try
even if it is all a lie

Soul Searching
I meandered through the muddy Mekong
Searched in sultry sexy Saigon
Ravished in the Cat Thien Rain forest
Yet I still could not find you
I found myself haunted in Hong Kong
Caught up in the cacophony of China
Trailed my way thoughts to Taiwan
And still I could not find you
I jostled and jaunted through Japan
Hoping Kyoto would hold my Karma
It only got me caught up in Korea
And still I could not find you
So I backtracked and got tormented in Thailand
Which had me pondering Penang
Hoping you would be caught in Kuala Lampur...

Only You
He always wants to be my muse
And when he thinks there are others – does confuse
How will I ever explain, no need for heart break & pain
I always use him as my muse
We’re bonded in life love & laughter
I’ll be the one he chooses to look after
It was always about you
I just wish that u knew
You complete my missing jagged pieces
Live with me throughout my crazy pieces
It’s you, was always you
When will you finally have a clue?
Winter, summer spring
I have no need for that ring
Stormy clouds of blue
It’s u always...

Fite Nite
He enters the Dojo all fists of fury
Whilst I sit - all judge and jury
He wears that stupid Ohm tattoo
That reminds me of you
He wants to be part of my team
And live every fighters dream
Only there is no medal to win
And you’ll enter a life of sin
But he is young and brave
And his soul I cannot save
He has heard I can fight
And that my bark is worse than my bite
He knows how I broke my rib
And keeps my secret fib
I need to make his mind strong
If to this clan he wants to belong
I push his body to the extreme...

Cotton Candy
Cotton candy, puppy breathe
Misty mornings, starched sheets
And the smell touches and sounds of you
Fresh cut lawn, bread from the oven
Domestic bliss, dogs roam free
Of solitude and peace, no need for speech
Calm and comfort biorhythms
I need you know as I did before
My stability, my core,
With you life’s not a chore
My feelings no longer feel raw
Sound of pebbles in a river bed
Wind as it assaults you from behind
I don’t care or mind
You’ll hold me tight and in your sight..
When will u understand?
Our ties...

For that Little Purple Hippo!!
font=Tahoma,Geneva]Surprise people catch you unaware
The ones that make you care
Light up an empty screen
They know where u have been
Strangers that make you smile
Lighten life for just awhile
Crazy little animations
Drive you thru life’s stations
Share your stories
All guts and glory
Internet connections
Simplified perfections
Nothing to gain
Just keeping you sane
[/font]
