Up For Grabs
My feelings in the past,
Had been up for grabs.
With a need to please,
And be accepted.
Especially in relationships that did not last,
For reasons foolishness can not explain.
Or sustain pretentions.
And those I thought were close,
Chose to test me most.
With a thinking towards me,
As someone dependent and easily teased.
And continually this became the main attraction.
My feelings in the past,
Had been up for grabs.
And in those days long gone,
I believed myself special...
With a giving I gave to get back little re-action.
However when a dawning came,
To awaken with the brightest of lights...
It occurred to me what I desired and wanted,
In a relationship...
Did not feed seriously another's appetite.
And I was not into fantasies and quick pleasures.
Up for grabs and momentary satisfactions,
I am not.

Maybe I Leave My Eyes In The Skies Too Long
I can't have my feelings just be up for grabs.
To let somebody have!
Who would I be fooling?
Only myself.
I can't sit just wishing to kiss anybody glad.
To have that kissing had.
Who would I be fooling?
Only myself.
Maybe I leave my eyes in the skies too long.
Hoping that somebody for me comes along.
I can't have my feelings just be up for grabs.

After many months of nothing jumping.

Man and woman in shape
Shoulders wider than the hip
A man grabs women’s eye balls.
The hip wider than shoulders,
A woman grabs men’s eye balls.
He is to hold her and she’s to bear him

Red book - The Rule Is You Must Say How You Really Feel.
Reading the red book. It tries to explain the rules of life. Never too fast, never too fast, it says it won't last. Burnt by the past. Some new so close to you. You must get to know them. Its a game you can slowly win. Bury your true feelings.
Reading the read book. It tries to explain the rules of life. Never to fast, never too fast. It says it won't last burnt by the past. We are all wearing masks. Time to take them off. Stop hiding behind your walls. It cost us all. It will be your down fall. Just another phone call. Meeting the face behind this stall. It has come to a sudden halt.
Reading the read book. It tries to explain the rules of life. Never too fast, never too fast. It says it won't last. Burnt by the past. Are we trying to hard? Are we faking this march? Are you trying to hide something underneath? Are you look for a little relief? Do you want me, and are afraid to say it? Denying our insides. They can't be alive. They just can't. And go back to the old dance.
Reading the red book. It tries to explain the rules of life. Never too fast, never too fast. It says it won't last. Burnt by the past. Memories ignite, previous passions locked up so tight. Are you willing? Are you giving in to obvious feelings. Let me know. And I won't go. Please stop the fruadlent show. Its faking thats so heart breaking. Is your heart aching? How can I make you understand this is your one and only chance. So please lets dance.
Reading the red book. It tries to explain the rules of the past. Never too fast, never too fast. It says it won't last. Burnt by the past. I have been burnt by the past.

The Main Attraction
J. Spinks
I bet you'd like this seat tonight
It's not a show you'll see on Sundays
If you should blink just once or twice
You might need this piece of advice
You'll never get another chance
Don't take your eyes away for nothing
The main attractions's gonna start
This ain't no place to be weak hearted
The main attraction's on tonight
So don't forget to turn the lights down
I thought I'd seen it all before
Something tells me don't be so sure
Anticipation on my mind
I can't imagine what she'll do this time
It seems more special thaneffect
And this show isn't even over yet
The main attraction's still to come
She's just a teaser whe she's starting
The main attraction's on tonight
So don't forget turn out the light
I'd like to see if you're for real
So can't we make some kind of deal yeah
You say there's no such word as can't
Making you the girl that I'd want
Let's get this intro out of the way
It can wait until another day
The main attraction's coming up
And you ain't leaving 'till it's over
The main attraction's on tonight
So don't forget to turn the lights out
The main attraction's on tonight
So don't forget turn out the light

You Can Not Buy This
It doesn't matter what you have
How you got it.
If it is yours or not.
Borrowed or on loan.
New or used...
Attached to disconnect.
Stain resistant or chip proof.
The next rage or the last of its kind.
The flavor of the month,
Or something you picked up on Rodeo Drive!
The most recent trip I took with you,
Was my last.
And I meant that.
What I gave to you,
And you chose to give back?
Is not up for grabs.
And it is certainly not on sale!
You can not buy this!
I don't know what made you think you could.

My sweet little kid says
My sweet little kid says
He is employed and it pays
Well, ahead are great days
Cautiously glad, in private I amaze
Sweet little kid, my child
Spot reactive, at times wild
Suppressed feelings, being mild
Are the ways for relations to build
Had he picked up all these
Which alone will put him at ease
I do not know, this troubles my peace
And I pray he grabs this gainful cheese
This is a world of competition
Success should come in repetition
Then only you are for recognition
And are in the way of elevation
Stay away from unhealthy habits
Nurse not ill feelings even in bits
In your race these are falling pits
Steadily forward even if through slits
Shy not challenges in your way
Success through them make you happy and gay
Ever remain alert night or day
Ensure great service as it does pay
Love and respect people all around
Irrespective of from where they ground
As only in human bond you are bound
And the main in you is always found

A Cape Town Winter Day
The day is icy, grey,
drawn closed, as heavy as lead and wet,
with a southeaster that grabs
that searches for somewhere to hold on to
with bricks, oak trees, razor sharp glass
that is jerked loose in its grip,
with paper bags that are ascending in line
to come down somewhere else in the ocean,
where seagulls continually angrily screech,
are searching for an own escape and continually do curse.

She is nothing
They don't know about her.
The reason for her
Silence.
The pictures dance across her face,
And still nobody
Sees.
She reaches for a hand that isn't there,
And grabs another fistful of more
Nothing.
Her life is nothing.
So she keeps pretending she's something and
Weeps.
They see her tears but pass by
Without a second
Glance.
She doesn't explain her fear.
Thinking if she was something, she would be
Brave.
They stay silent. And she stays silent.
They watch as her flowering face wilts back to
Nothing.
I'll Take That As A Yes
You were so reasonable:
'I'm thinking that both you and I need some space.'
I am thinking 'you are leaving me and trying to let me down easily.'
And you were.
'I have been feeling like both of us are going through the motions lately'
You are speaking for me and my feelings? Better to ask me how I feel.
'And I am wondering if you are really satisfied in this relationship? '
Asking me about my feelings? What about yours? Tell me about yours.'
'I have been feeling that we need to back away, moving too fast.'
Humm, is there an ideal pace?
Do you feel the need to invent space for the need to leave me?
'I think it would be good for both of us'
So in all of this you are thinking not only of you, but mostly of me?
So answer me this- is there someone else?
'No of course not'
So I will take that as a yes.

Invisble Touch
Well I've been waiting
Waiting here so long
But thinking nothing
Nothing could go wrong
But now I know
She has a built in ability
To take everything she sees
And now it seems I'm falling
Falling for her
She seems to have
An invisible touch
Yeah
She reaches in
Grabs right hold of your heart
She seems to have
An invisible touch
Yeah
It takes control and slowly tears you apart.
I don't really know her
I only know her name
But she crawls under your skin
You're never quite the same
And now I know
She's got something you just can't trust
It's something mysterious
And now it seems I'm falling
Falling for her
She seems to have
An invisible touch
Yeah
She reaches in
Grabs right hold of your heart
She seems to have
An invisible touch
Yeah
It takes control and
Slowly tears you apart
She don't like losing
To her it's still a game
Though she'll mess up your life
You'll want her just the same
Now I know
She has a built in ability
To take everything she sees
And now it seems I've fallen
Fallen for her
She seems to have
An invisible touch
Yeah
She reaches in
Grabs right hold of your heart
She seems to have
An invisible touch
Yeah
It takes control
And slowly tears you apart

Sacrifice for a loaf of bread..... (...for all those who lost their life starving for food....)
My mom used to have me close and tight over her waist
and for the whole day we used to be under sun's face
I don't know why mom keep on knocking at car door's on the road
besides most of the people from inside stare at her and scold
few threw one or two small round shaped metals (coins) on the road
with a sign of relief mom grabs it without getting bored
Often she kisses me and wipes my sweat using her torn cloth
but she never care's for her sweat though she was burning hot
whenever someone grabs mom's hand with a cruel smile
I don know why she scold's them back and runs with tear filled eyes
she feeds me with a loaf of bread thinking am hungry whenever i cry
but in real I cry for her.. cos she always just drinks water and letting herself dry
At night I sleep with tears rolling down..thinking why she cares me much
for which her heart breathe says I am the only one she got this close and tight
when her fingers run on my back I can feel day by day its getting rough
her tenderness had gone cos of house works
making me stand before a broken mirror she used to say I am cute
when she hugs me I can feel she has gone too skinny and my heart goes to mute
used to cry thinking I couldn't help my mom, cos I am a kid for now
and I still don't know why even God did'n answer my prayers till now
I just shared my words with you cos today is the last day in my life
with tears I gonna end up my life on my mothers chest
atleast then she can have my daily loaf of bread
though it pains me when I think, I am going to miss her for ever
as a kid I don't know another way to make her free from starve for ever
Am going to sleep forever on my mother for now
please don't inform my mom..........guess she's too tired cos
I see her sleeping without motion from morning till now........
(...poor kid she dosn't know..her mom had already sacrificed her life for her...)

Never Believed Me
Feelings just want to dance here and there
Nothing is permanent, even if feelings want to rest still
Nothing seems to be lasting forever in this world
Life, I am not able to understand
Not even true love is ever understood
Only lies are believed, as truth always remains unnoticed
How should I live my life?
My love has even taken her shadow away from me
I wish that if you actually believed, then now we would have been one
Truth, my truth you never believed
Pain of my crying heart, you never believed
Never ever you believed me
Tell me please my love, did I treat you this bad?
Only you ruled my life, while I was with you
Never did I claim to be a perfect person.
Feelings, my feelings only wanted to dance with you
Love you I truly did, my twinkling star I really did want to make you mine
Sadly you are not mine anymore, because you thought I will hurt you and use you
Truth, my truth you were.

Your Loneliness
Sometimes you sit on your own
and loneliness creeps in,
it grabs and shakes you
into its submission,
and there is nothing you can do,
especially when you’re away from home.
You wish you’d sought
another road to travel,
one that didn’t lead you
to that spot where
happiness has abandoned you
to the feelings of loneliness.
You’re missing the conversation
from others you know
as you sit in solitary
on a picnic bench
in a far off land
with only your loneliness.

No, No, No,
Last night woke in bed
In a cold cold sweat so sweaty so funky
Dreamin' of bad things to be or not to be
Haunting things like homelessness all the lonely people
Without a job car or food to eat
Leaves you a little bit paranoid well well
Can you spare a dime
But it reminds me how easily
We let our fears affect who we are
No no no can't come back
No bad feelings no no no
No sad feelings no no no
No jealous feelings no no no
No insecure feelings
No no no can't come back
No ill feelings no no no
No jealous feelings no no no
No ego trippin' no no no
No insecure feelings
No no no can't come back
Had a friend in desperate need
Of a little attention compassion you see
Did i mention that friend was me nope
Who'd just broken up from a love affair well well well well
I must admit i was truly hurt
And i couldn't change the facts and that's a fact
He loves her more than he loves me
And it's truly just as simple as that
No no no can't come back
No bad feelings no no no
No sad feelings no no no
No jealous feelings no no no
No insecure feelings
No no no can't come back
No ill feelings no no no
No jealous feelings no no no
No ego trippin' no no no
No insecure feelings
No no no can't come back
Don't care what other people say
Don't listen to them anyway
Can't let the evil get it's way
Don't let bad feelings make you pay
Don't care what other people say
Don't listen to them anyway
Can't let the evil get it's way
Don't let bad feelings make you pay
No bad feelings no no no
No sad feelings no no no
No jealous feelings no no no
No insecure feelings
No no no can't come back
No ill feelings no no no
No jealous feelings no no no
No ego trippin' no no no
No insecure feelings
No no no can't come back

Begin to understand where the parasitic life goes?
You gave me the life and you were gone Mom.
I cannot hold anymore and it goes somewhere.
The strong character without any characteristics
Never bothers and grabs everything,
But nothing can be hold chum!
It goes and never turn back.
Try to understand this careless journey!

3rd And Long
pick up the pieces that i've left behind
i woke up today feeling older
and never so much better
i know i talk in circles.
i never wanted to avoid your conversation.
you see yourself in my eyes.
another day has passed us by.
the more time i spend,
the less i see of you.
i'll never take it back
your voice is like an angel
guiding over every move i make
i'll never want it back
the direction that you've gave me.
nothing can replace what i've gained.
time grabs me by the shoulders.
no one know how it feels to move over.
i know i'm still far from you
and it feels like i'm still far from home.
my name is a disappointment.
i only disappoint myself.
if only i could hold this moment
kept from everyone else
