Open Heavens

The Heavens have opened
Pouring down with rain
Pouring down a range of sorrows
Like there is no tomorrow

We stand in unity
Awaiting a faculty of miracles
Praying for some form of immunity
From the uncertain
Famines, tornadoes, earthquakes

Without giving us a break
In no chronological disorder
Our earth, our Mother
Has chosen days and places
To reinstate her authority

Red Rain

Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
I am standing up at the waters edge in my dream
I cannot make a single sound as you scream
It cant be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch
This place is so quiet, sensing that storm
Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
Well Ive seen them buried in a sheltered place in this town
They tell you that this rain can sting, and look down
There is no blood around see no sign of pain
Hay ay ay no pain
Seeing no red at all, see no rain
Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
Red rain-
Putting the pressure on much harder now
To return again and again
Just let the red rain splash you
Let the rain fall on your skin
I come to you defences down
With the trust of a child
Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
And I cant watch any more
No more denial
Its so hard to lay down in all of this
Red rain is coming down
Red rain is pouring down
Red rain is coming down all over me
I see it
Red rain is coming down
Red rain is pouring down
Red rain is coming down all over me
Im bathing in it
Red rain coming down
Red rain is coming down
Red rain is coming down all over me
Im begging you
Red rain coming down
Red rain coming down
Red rain coming down
Red rain coming down
Over me in the red red sea
Over me
Over me
Red rain

Long walk home

As I look at my shoe rack
I know I have walked far
Walked to the moon and back
Weary like a potato sack
Sometimes on the right track
Trekking thousand of miles
Encountered with cries and smiles
My own courage I never lack

Even the fastest car
Could not have gone that far
It would have broken down
Somewhere along the way

With a driver at the wheel
I may never have been able to tell
The fake from the real
Or the difference between
Heaven and hell
It is only my will
Which carries me through day by day
As I pray not to be led astray

It’s a long walk home
Hammered by rocks and stones
Paths filled with flowers and thorns
At times I felt alone
The everyday obstacles
Blessed sometimes by sudden miracles
While trying to survive

Climbing hills
And mountains made of steel
Drenched in pouring rain
Confused by crossroads
I am getting there
Stepping on each road with care
I am getting near
Jumping up and down with fear
It’s a long walk home

Mother Earth

I am here to commemorate and honour the life of Mother Earth
Mother earth was everything to me
She had her virtues
That was nothing new
She was very special and unique
There was absolutely nothing in her league

Unfortunately I was not present at her birth
And deplorably I have to speak about her death

Her birth they say was an amazing wonder
Which no man alone could bring asunder
She was created from the smallest element in the universe
And yet became the greatest miracle of it
So many blessings she has showered on the human race

From endless nights to glorious days
Showered randomly by rainbow colours
Gentle winds and pouring rains
The mighty oceans and the gentle blazing sun

These were the gifts Mother Earth offered
The seas, land, air, sun, rain and thunder

She matured daily with strenght, wisdom and love
To give so much to us
Once a paradise
Ripe with variety of fruits
Blessed with many mixed cultures
Inhabited by numerous families
Rich in food and wealthy in nature

Now a barren land
Completely void
The air polluted by fumes
Sickness and poverty the earth consumes

I content myself with the beautiful memories of you
Mother Earth!
I thank you for your gifts
I await the rebirth of you
Perhaps now that we know what is true
We humans may take better care of you

1st of December

You must remember
Tomorrow is the first of December
It is time to start thinking
Of your new year resolutions
Avoid unnecessary temptations
Prevention is better than finding solutions

Give up the cigarette
Forget the day you first met

Give to the poor
Not after but before

Greet the elderly
With respect very carefully

Think of positive change
It is always there at close range

Give up the booze
It only stinks of ooze

Set aside time to pray
Set aside time to play
If you have to
Why not change your ways

Tomorrow is the first of December
Remember, a new beginning
Is always the way forward to winning

My Mother

My mother
is a stunner

She as beautiful
as a rainbow
I want to follow her
where ever she goes

I want to be like her
when I grow
plant seeds like her
reap and sow
make sure my offsprings follow
my path whether it is narrow
I love her so much
She makes me smile with a golden glow

My mother is my best friend
when I am feeling low
We say hello
a thousand times
when I am feeling low
She always knows
How to be straight with me
and say no

I say it once
I say it twice
My mother is a stunner
Now I have got to go

Your Trust

Your trust is what I desire
If you turn out to be a liar
like a raging fire
I will need seven daily weekly cures
Because there is only so much that I can endure

The Grand Piano

In the centre of four white corners
He stood proudly dressed in black upright

Keys in minors and sharps
Shining in mahogany in the light

He spoke with golden tones
With definition and authority
He was sort after
By the minority and majority

So many desired
To play his keys
Producing melodies with chords
But very few could afford
His price
It was worth it
It was nice

He was the grand piano

The Truth about Life

The struggle goes on
Whichever direction you turn
There is no excluded section where you can run

The truth about life
Is merely to survive
From the moment you arrive
In birth, to the end of death

The Perfect Miracle

I have found
The perfect miracle
In a simple prayer

Forgive me
Love me
Hold me
Guide me
Let me be
Lord I thank thee

I do not expect an answer

Mother's Day

There comes a day for mother
Marked 'Commemoration'

There comes a play for mother
Parked with celebrations

There comes a day to say mother
You are my woman of idyllic salvation

That day is called Mother's Day

A lovers arm

In a lovers arms
I find my calm

In a lovers arms
I reinstate my peace
With a sweet soft tender lingering kiss

In a lovers arms
My life long dreams are
Spiced up, stirred and stewed
Heated up with fascination
Grilled with imagination
Till they virtually become true
during our loving lifespan duration

In a lovers arms
My questions are answered
Answers to unanswered questions can wait
It is not a question of now or never
It is a question of how to make
This sweet moment last forever

I will be your husband

For better or for worse
I will be your husband
But of you I quietly demand
Obedience and respect
I am the man of house
I am the man who's intellect

For a just cause
I will be your husband
I expect of you no fuss
When I have the last say
Of how we are to operate
each and everyday especially today

Think Again!

When you hold your head up high
I see it in your eyes
You want to say goodbye

Your ego persuades you to
embark on this smoky trip
If only you know how I feel
Your selfishness I spelt
While the ice awaits to melt
Be careful you might slip
They shall all weep

Why wash away on me now
Tears of sorrow
When there is always tomorrow

Narrow roads
Wrong paths
Why take away
What’s not yours

Think again
While it rains
Think again
You can still control your brain
from going completely insane

Think again about a white dove
Think again about all the love
That is still out there
Waiting to be showered on you
I truly care

Todays visit! ! !

In sunshine, winter or in rain
Today visits me once again

Today is my best friend
Always with me right to the very end

Today’s visit
Is as habitually the same
It is always an erratic game
Of ups and downs
Of smiles and frowns
Of highs and lows
Of “Hellos” and “Byes”

Today I treasure
With paramount pleasure
Today’s visit
I cannot comparatively measure

Happiness

Happiness is a state of mind
It is out there in all shapes to find
Just like a star, an exciting illusion
Specifically designed by nature's institution

Happiness is one of the greatest things
That can happen to a human being
It is nothing and it is something
It is also everything

Disaster strikes anywhere

I rather tell you a joke
Or give you a little poke
But disaster strikes anywhere
Here or there, far or near or elsewhere

I have cried my own fair share of tears
As disaster unfortunately strikes anywhere
Hanging uncomfortably in the air fresh
Is the uninterrupted decomposing of flesh

And no one knows tomorrow
Nor the impact of such horror
That has befell the people of China
Not excluding the people of Burma
Deliberately raining a song of sorrows

At forty life begins

I say it with a grin
At forty life begins

Relaunching itself
into a birthless age
Its a phase
Its a stage
Its a case
a renewed forty year package

The rebirth of youth
Its time to loose
all your old fashioned suits

Bitter Winter Sweet

Bitter Winter Sweet
Clattering shivering teeth
Frosty icy streets
People yearning for hot meat

A snowman freezes without heat
Snowy flakes lined up neat
Children play, laugh and sit
Schools close down in defeat
