Wake up in love

Wake up in love

Wipe the sleep from your eyes…
Open the windows to your soul
Open your heart, child of life,
Now – fill it with love

Stretch your arms there’s no ceiling…
Reaching only for light
Stand tall now, child of life,
Stand tall, you have been counted

Breathe deep in love into ever-now…
Fill your lungs with the Divine
The taste of love, dear child of life,
Is exhaling knowing this presence

Feel joy in your energy body…
Savour the vibration of bliss
Loving the all as is, child of life,
Transcending in un-waivering faith

Aligning now with your beginning…
Beginning to experience no end
Eternal to your core, sweet child of life,
Worthy – is how you were born

Greet the new day as greeted…
Returning the love and the light
Smile wide as you can child of life now,
Then catch life smiling right back

Thankful in mind and in spirit…
Creating your day so in love
Appreciating as you go, child of life,
Gifting the day’s Giver… in love.

It’s not easy

It’s not easy you know
Living from your heart
It’s not easy you know
Being who you are

The world has too many thoughts
About how you should act
The world has too many opinions
On who you should be

It’s not easy don’t you know
To stand out from the crowd
It’s not easy don’t you know
To shout ‘I Am’ out loud

They judge you if you do
What is true for you
They judge you if you don’t
Do what it is they do

It’s not easy let me tell you
Living what you believe
It’s not easy let me tell you
Living the dreams you conceive

But life is not worth living
If not living in your truth
Life’s just not worth living
If you’re living out their dreams

We imagine it’s not easy
Living life from the heart
We imagine it’s not easy
Being who we are

But the truth is life is simple
When you’re playing out your part
The truth is life is easy
Only living from your heart.

Conform You Say?

I sit and I wonder, what will this be?
I’m lost and confused and unable to see…
“Live,” she says, “Live – give into your desire.”
Perhaps she thinks she is beyond the words of the squire.
She tells us to “be ourselves, don’t worry what they say,
one day you will see, you will have your say.”
For now we are expected just to walk in your way,
believe all that you do and all that you say.
You criticize and bash all that is real and true,
so I have made my final decision,
I will keep running
from you.

“Come back!” you scream, “you think you’re
better then us?”
“Ha,” she screams, “try run from me, you will
see, dear girl, there’s no other way to be.”
I will not conform, I will not do as they say!
So to that, my friends,
I will relay, “Adu, Adu to you and you and you!”
as they sing in that dreadful song.
Give up on the truth, conform to their lies,
and perhaps one day you may get a ‘nice’ surprise!

Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you, don’t cry when I say,
“I told you it was dangerous but you brushed my warnings away,”
Too late,
it is done –
the action has passed,
however it is not to late
to fix the past.

Come Home

Drowning in the four oceans of misery,
Pain, disappointment, guilt and heartache
I’ve brought this on myself and I’m ashamed
I’ve sinned against God and Mankind
How do I put together what I’ve broken?
I’ve poured out my heart with every word spoken.

I prayed for forgiveness and begged for help
My heart is aching and I feel like I’m in hell
You are my destiny, how can you not see?
You helped me through my stormy days
Comforted by the love you’ve shown me.

Come home, oh please come home
My life has no meaning without you
I can’t eat; I can’t sleep all on my own.
I know I’ve done you wrong
But please show some love
Please play your hearts song
Come home, Oh please…
come home.

Emotional murder

Every negative word you utter
Slices deep like a dagger
Slowly splitting us apart
As the Blood of the innocent
Spills on the carpet…
Is this what our seed should grow up with?

The beauty that shined deep in your eyes
Now with no heart, it only shows lies
And as your touch turns colder and colder
My heart screams emotional murder!
For every moment that you away
Is as cold as when we lay
You on your side, me on mine..
And tomorrow starts another cold day.

There’s No Place for ME

Loved as a baby, grew up as a “loner”
No connection, no place, like a dog without an owner.
Teased for my unusual body structure
To them I was just a joke
The anger that grew inside of me
Took over and consumed all hope.

My parents Bad Habits, added to the pain.
The feeling of being laughed at, made living such a pain.
Although I had some family, the “black sheep” I still remained
My sister felt my heartache, but she couldn’t see MY pain.

My parents made their choices, in which I had to live with
I watched my family crumble, not knowing how to mend it.
And as the years slowly passed, poetry became my heartbeat
With no true friend, I had my pen and that is all I needed.
I’ve turned my back against the world, my gang became my fam.
I’ve played the game and made my name, but still felt lost inside.

My mind was filled with doubt and anger
“Where to now”… I began to wonder.
There’s no place for me in this world of hate
”Dear Lord, please feed my hunger”.
And then I realised, that all that I’ve been through
Was enough to shape my future.
I’ve changed my view as God shaped my life

No longer am I filled with Hate.
And for my future generation I stand, to be a better Man!

Commentators!

My life has been lonely since childhood
My future seemed cold and shattered.
I’ve seen how a loving family could turn cold
And left my brothers and sister scattered.

It was like a dream that turned into a nightmare
Is this how life works out in the end?
Does real, true love break a perfect pair?
And why are there only memories left?

We call ourselves family, but yet it’s hard to talk
We act like commentators at gatherings
Discussing each other’s lives with no remorse.

From moms side to dads side
Family injected with lies.
Where does the politics end?
Can anybody here our innocent cries?

We fuss and moan, we judge and hate
The innocent sits on the fence.
Why can’t we live as one? Forgive before it’s too late!
Or have we already planned our fate?

False Pretences!

The test of life’s deepest oceans has finally arrived.
Back strokes potent as poison ivy.
For past love and embrace my heart strived
But between false pretences it slowly died.

They got pretend shields with ‘Gods’ name on it,
Yet they descend as low as the devils heart
Attacking the walls which protects my heart in it.
Causing pain and no options to mend it.

They shatter our image with pleasure in their eyes.
Feeding a burning endless fire.
Beyond the wasteland lays our hearts innocent cries
Unsuspecting, “revenge” well revised.

Behold, my destiny is fully planed out
Although my eyes have never seen it.
Success be my motto there’s no place for doubt.
Restoration with God we seek before drought

Lonely blanket of Jacaranda city

Each evening brings a blanket of loneliness in city of Jacaranda
I wonder is this me, or is this the light of this city
My heart ache and I look around
I feel that city is drowning each one of us in our own world
No one seems to have time for each other.
We all are running, chasing the unknown
Leaving everything which ever matter to us, in name of progress
I see couple holding hand in hand
and I feel how blessed they are
still not consumed in the rush of mad city
I say a silent prayer in name of those loving birds
Who are still nesting in the city but
aloof of the lonely blanket of Jacaranda city.

My heart is crying again

I promised myself not to cry
But look in your eyes, tension between your eyebrows
Tells me something is wrong
My nest is not safe in the storm
I see a pencil heel and a skirt in your eyes
Same place I used to see my picture few days back
I know where your heart is, it’s not in our nest anymore
I don’t know when our nest become only my nest and you become just a visitor
I know this place doesn’t comfort you anymore
You wana fly away.
I wonder what went wrong
For me still it’s just me and you making us, but
I can see your eyes changing
My heart sinks when I think about our nest and incoming storm
But I promised myself not to cry,
So I won’t cry, even if it hurts.
