Blue rose in the sun
The splendor you behold keeps glowing on
An expression of love from someone’s heart
A memory if friends should ever part
Blue Rose where are you from?
Wild and poised you look so strong
In my imagination only you exist
I cherish your beauty I cannot resist
Blue Rose color of the sky
The light of the world
You open my eyes
Your silk petals unfold in the sun
This is where life has begun
Blue rose in the sun
Amongst your thorns birds have fun
Beautiful and delicate
Tall and free
A petal of life for you and me
Under the midnight blue sky
There is a soothing sound
The sky is still the air is sweet
A harmony confound
A superficial startle comes over me
Constant mesmerizing
I let my thoughts run free
Under the midnight blue sky
Surrounded by ebony
Eccentric significant creatures
Revolve beneath me
Under the midnight blue sky
Is where I like to be
No one else in my dimension
My company is with me
It’s 12:04
The moon high in the sky
Not a care in the world
You may wonder why
The silence is loud
The air is still
Thoughts running wild
Confused I feel
It’s 12:06
As I stare at the sky
My heart beats faster
I started to cry
I don’t understand it
The tear in my eye
My body stops shaking
The emotion subsides
Dreams that come true are very few
Are they hopeless exasperations
Should I hold on to a fondness so new?
Dreams are rear like rainbows glowing at night
Never as clear as the moon
When it shines ever so bright
Perplexing like a crocodile overcome by fright
Yet as placid as a lake during the darkest of nights
Dreams are controversial
Hard to comprehend why?
Dreams are like a story that won’t end until you die
Dreams make me wonder of how it would be
If life was a dream what or who I could be?
Dreams that come true are very few
If you believe in them they appear to you
Stars shining bright
Up in the sky
As I lay back in envy
Wish I could be so high
Blue is the Ocean
Running free
Beams of light reflect
It’s majestic mystery
As I search for freedom
Lost within me
The beautiful the horizon
Is inviting me
To share my dreams
With the world
Find pleasure in
Memories precious
Like a pearl
Look at the moon
So calm and bright
It subsides the pain
I feel at night
So near yet so far
I strive to reach where you are
I long to touch
That bright gleaming star
Being happy
Is being free
To know who you are
And who you want to be
Being happy
Is being allowed to
Say how you feel
And sometimes feel proud
Being happy
Is being comfortable
And feeling content
Being peaceable with others
Not showing resent
Being happy
Is being able to smile
Being able to laugh
And being able to cry
Being happy
Is making others happy
Giving without receiving
And going so gladly
Being happy
Is expressing yourself
Being happy
Does not come from wealth
Being happy Is finding joy
Being happy Is receiving love
Being happy Is a gift we receive
Being happy Comes from above
A friend is someone who sees you through
Someone who also needs you too
When times are good or even bad
When you are happy and sometimes sad
They are there to lend a hand
A friend will be there constantly
Showing concern genuinely
To share your joys excitedly
And endure your complaints anxiously
Friends keep you on your feet with just one word
A hurtful sound is never heard
They like you for the person you are
Won’t let you take things too far
Will call you on the telephone
Be your company when you’re alone
Will talk things out until you’re alright
And comfort you in times of fright
A friend is someone who willingly
Will take a chance to set you free
Support you right down to the end
And tell you, you are their best friend
Will wipe your tears when you cry
Stay by your side until you die
A friend corrects you when you’re wrong
And never puts you on hold for too long
At the end of the day when you are tired and blue
With no hesitation you are there for them too
Do whatever they can to make you happy
And in return you will say ‘gladly’
That’s what friends are supposed to be!
Sitting up here Isolated
I listen to the sound of the rain
Tapping and chanting a rhythm
Against my window pane
The sweet smell of flowers
Drifts through the atmosphere
Melodious voice of birds
I always long to hear
Beautiful sunsets high in the sky
Spectacular rainbows
I watch as they rise
Leaves in the air slowly float by
The gentle essence of a butterfly
And I cannot comprehend
As here I recline is
A feeling that my peace signifies
The unknown presence of
An angel in disguise
Memories rush back to me
As I reminisce of how
Life used to be
But moving on in integrity
I now feel completely free
As they roam in freedoms sun
Words shared between the leaves
Thoughts float by as gentle whispers
Through the evergreen trees
Away from human city life
A dimension full of fun
Space fulfilling fantasies
To any and everyone
Who will go and share with them
Peace of life in harmony
Basking in the sunlit sky
A world where they are free
Thank you for the person you are
Thank you for guiding me through
Thank you for your loving concern
Thank you for just being you
Thank you for times when
I needed a shoulder to cry on
You assured me that you are the one
I can always rely on
At times when no one was there
You showed that you genuinely care
You taught me to be strong
And correct me when I am wrong
I have to confess it’s a challenge to express
How much you’ve made me feel blessed
By your love and tenderness
You pick me up when I am down
And keep me firmly on the ground
You never look at me with a frown
Thank you for helping me to appreciate life
And realize at times when things don’t seem right
I will make it to the end if I put up a fight
You will show me the way
If I hold your hand tight
You know me so well as you can always tell
When something is on my mind
You always let me express myself
In you I can confide your help is never denied
Thank you for being there
When I was scared
And keeping secrets that I have shared
Thank you for taking me under your wing
I appreciate the love and joy
You continue to bring
Thank you for being true
Thank you for helping me through
Thank you for your inspiration
Thank you for just being you
Did you ever wonder as time went by,
How meaningless your life is yet as complex as the sky?
Looking at the stars in adornment losing yourself in the moment
And as you look at the moon it’s apparent, you grew up a little too soon.
Did you ever hold your hand out in the rain, a penny for a thought
Or would it trickle down the drain? To me it’s all the same
For every thought you lose a memory you gain
Being overwhelmed yet perfectly sane at the thought of love from another
To me it’s strange
Having someone who really wants you but someone who doesn’t need you,
Someone who neglects you but cant live without you, do you feel the same as I do?
I haven’t got a clue who I am or where I’ve been, but I know that today
There’s a pain deep within.
I don’t know where I am going or what I will be, but search your soul and answer this
Will you be there with me?
A silhouette, a memory, of a face too far to reach, I only once did say your name
Do dads practice what they preach?
Day by day I grow older I’ll soon be twenty-three! Will I get married will I have kids
Will their dad be here with me?
Never had you as an example so I looked up to one who is close to me
I know you think that’s if you do, it's too late, she's happy, and never thinks of me!
Never predict and say probably, never say never if you do
The answer is on my face, the answer is, yes I do!
Do your fingerprints match mine? Is your skin like honeydew?
Are you sane yet over whelmed? Did you grow up a little too soon?
Do you remember that afternoon? Do you remember because I do?
Did you look at the stars and wonder, will I ever love you?
Do you look at the moon and cry? Do you think what should I do?
Do you think about how much I’ve grown? Do you hate just being you?
Do you wonder what life would be like, if you had just turned up at two?
Do you wonder in dismay?
Did you? Do you? Well I do!
You are the one who makes me smile
At the end of a hard long day
You are the one who gives me hope
You free my mind of all dismay
You are the one who makes winter
Nights feel like summer days
You are my inspiration you will be always
You are the one I listen to and think of habitually
You are the one I confide in you help to set my mind free
When nights are cold and skies are gray
When days are filled with fright
You are the one I look to the one I need
To hold me tight
When life brings emotions hard to keep within me
You lend a shoulder to cry on your support and
Deepest sympathy
You are a friend I love someone I’ll cherish eternally
You are the reason some people say
They wish that they were me
You are the one I am told to appreciate deeply
You are the one I tell them
My best friend my mentor and I will
Never leave thee
In you I have found true delight
It’s overwhelming and apparent
To those who see
How I find a peace of mind
When you’re here with me
You brighten my darkest skies
With that sparkle in your eye
You tell me everything is all right
And soon all out of sight
You’re smiling down on me
Makes my life complete
And all the things you do
Dad you’re really sweet
I can’t let the sun go down
Before I let you know
How much I adore the fatherly-love
Your heart endlessly shows
It’s overwhelming yes apparent
I want you to see
I appreciate all the things
That you do for me
No one understands how I feel
Put you self in my position
Do you feel what I feel?
Do you believe what I see?
Can you perceive that this is real?
No one can hear me
What am I to do?
I’m in the midst of a crowed room
Calling out to you
Your eyes do not meet mine
You just haven’t got a clue
Overwhelmed by your surroundings
I am screaming out to you
People are so self-centered
So me they disregard
You could say I’m omission
To overlook me it’s not hard
Why do you refuse to listen?
You only hear what you like
My heart is so heavy
I’m full of anger resentment and fright
No one understands how I feel
What am I to do?
I am screaming out to you
If you were in my shoes what would you do?
A tender child am I, an asset to the world
Innocent in existence, a tiny precious pearl
I know not of why I am here
But a new feeling of neglect I already fear
You bring me into the world incompetently
Now others take care of me
You’re still a baby
What compared to you am I?
A baby doll, a delicate life
You say you know me best
Selective amnesia you express
Why do you beat and treat me wrong?
I haven’t been fed or changed for so long
Tell me, when did I hurt you?
Do you know what I am going through?
I need your love just occasionally
You will feel the joy within you and me
Please, please can’t you see?
You will want me eventually
When you are their will I be gone?
I tried to get your love for so long
A baby-doll a precious pearl
A tiny asset to the world
I look and ask you, who am I?
You do not know, so then you cry
Whatever happens, don’t leave me
I can’t help it being me!
After all I’m only three
Constantly affected by what you do
All I wanted was the love of you
And now I’m older, you’re ostentatious
Just for once be a little gracious
Stop interfering in my dimension
You constantly crave all the attention
Get a grip and realize
Nothing is achieved by telling lies!
You did only what you knew how to do
No one, no one is doubting you
If you respect you then I will too
What do you expect me to say or do?
Live for now not yesterday
There is power in forgiveness, if you pray
Build your life on positive things
You will see what joy life can bring
Live for the moment enjoy who you are
Never ever take things too far
You received my un-divided attention
Now enjoy your own dimension
At last you know in reality
The truth will only set you free
And now you know what to do
If you respect me and I respect you
We can guide each other through
Now I know who I am
And now that I can understand
We can help it who we are
If we are willing to expand
I welcome you into my heart
Now lets make a brand new start
You made me strong
You took me high
You made me laugh
You made me cry
You are so amazing
It’s you who I am praising
I fly so high I kiss the sky
I cherish the love of you and I
So glad to be your bride
Always by your side
You I can't deny
This everlasting love
I'll never give it up
What you do to me
Oh baby cant you see
You make me so happy
It feels so good
The things you do for me
Baby can’t you see
This is reality
You are my ecstasy
And just one thing that
Is always true
Just one thing of me and you
I will always love you
As I fail to comprehend the
Dissatisfaction in many hearts
By disregarding their maker
So many fall apart
Truly unjustified they turn to blasphemy
They scorn and mock habitually
Plot revenge, for what? It’s a mystery
I have the knowledge,
The key to set men free
A heart of stone is bold and cold
No nothing about us,
Yet a vision they mould
In their minds eye, it’s cruel to see
They’re apparent hatred
Against you and me
But I have the key to set men free
They aim to break up the family
I once was a victim, but now I am free
Some day will you share it with me?
The key I was given to set me free?
What did we do that ever hurt you?
Hold your head low
You’re ashamed aren’t you!
You antagonize viciously spread
rumors maliciously
I showed you the key to set yourself free
Being self-centered
You may be well dressed
As self-righteousness you love to express
Whilst your malevolent mess
You fail to confess
But why do you show hostility
Towards me?
I have nothing against you look I hold Up the key!
You are so malignant you can’t
Deny it!
Your ostentation underlines it
Go ahead, try can you defy it?
Will you succeed,
When will you quit?
Your double standards mislead others
And constant burdens
You attempt to cover
Your misdemeanor escalated
And pitiful mirth exasperated
Don’t even attempt to influence me
You’re miss-educated yet I am free
You can’t overstrain me
With your insanity
Do you want the key to set you free?
You’re trifling yes frivolous that sums You up well
By no means superior
Above you I excel
Your stentorian is uncalled for
As we are strong you are
Spiritually poor
Will the door be locked when you are Ready to explore?
However you view me I will put up With this fight endlessly
Who has the key?
You will find it in me!
The third time you say goodbye
And still you ask me not to cry
How could you leave me in this pain?
Shivering cold in the rain
Your deep love used to shower me
I thought you were my destiny
How will I learn to trust again?
You set a record for all men
The third time I run to you
I’m down and out and feeling blue
I came to you to rescue me
But you deny me selfishly
All the things I did for you
You really haven’t got a clue
Our relationship exasperated
You glared at me miss-educated
The third time was three too much
Although I crave your loving touch
You disregarded constantly
How you hurt me endlessly
Thinking you could do me wrong
Well don’t look back now that you’ve gone
I will survive all by myself
So now I pledge to you good health
Although I lost a once good friend
This third time must come to an
End!
Today
I cried, I cried because it felt right
I
cried because I have freed myself of the negative thoughts and feelings I held
inside of me, the thoughts that weighed me down and prevented me from
Seeing
how special I really am. I cried
for today tomorrow and yesterday.
I
cried because the sky is a beautiful blue, plain yet full of motion and at the
same time surprising. I cried
because the sea appears to be blue but is a deep emerald green
And
I admire that brave bluish green. I
cried for the birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea, the bugs that bug
and add that unknown something to life.
Today
I cried, I cried for the love the world beholds, and yet is blind to the most
powerful asset it will ever posses. The
powers of love that is a gift from above.
I
cried for the love we receive and don’t give, the love we have yet don’t
share.
I
cried for all of those who are denied the pleasure found in love I cried because
I have had love that I took advantage of, I cried because some will never have
love.
I
cried for the love that I give, love that is not accepted by the ones
Who
are scared and yet feel neglected.
Today
I cried for all the children in the world who were left behind
By
their mummies and daddies.
I
cried because I felt pity, I cried because they cry, every day, when I eat and
when I sleep, when I dance and when I play, when I walk free, not scared to be
me.
I
cried because I have enjoyed and even when I can enjoy no more
I
have memories of times I was able to enjoy.
I
cried because little children are brought into the world not because they asked
to and not because their mummies wanted to, but just because that is the way it
is!
I
cried because of the pain and suffering they endure endlessly, hopelessly, defenselessly
and incessantly. I cried because I
am too far to reach and they are too small to climb.
Today
I cried a good long cry. I cried
and I cried.
I
cried until the sunset had faded and the birds were asleep.
I
cried until the very souls of my socks were wet from my tears running wild like
Niagara.
I
cried until my sides ached and my head throbbed and my body shook
And
my tears were no more. Today I
cried until I fell asleep.
Today
I cried because I just felt like crying.
I
cried because I had found a love that I never knew was there.
I cried because I was lost in a world that only I created.
|
I
cried because one who cares brought me to the real world.
I cried because I faced my fears,
I
cried those tears that mean everything when you cry.
When
words wouldn’t fall from my lips and thoughts refused to unfold.
Today
I cried for the one who showed me love
When
my own father just couldn’t be bothered.
And
for the knowledge and joy I had received from the one who wanted be my father.
I
cried because I had nothing to do but cry.
I
cried because I have a father and I am a daughter and
I
received the love from another.
Today
I cried.
I
cried because I have come to realize the real me,
Because
I am special and because I am me.
I
cried because I am good enough just because I am.
And
I cried because I have learnt to love me and respect me.
I
cried because I am all about me.
I
cried because I have denied the truth about this blessed person that I am. I cried because I have power and talent and truth.
I cried because I have love and values.
Today
I cried for the delight I found within me, and for the key I have to set me
free.
I
cried because I am intelligent, inspiring, beautiful and courageous.
I
cried because I am wonderful loveable and peaceful.
I
cried because I have come to realize who I am.
I
am not my face or my body or my voice but I am me.
I
cried because I am a star shining in the world, waiting to be seen.
I
am love in motion, a beautiful child of life, strong and wise.
Today
I cried, I cried because I was sad but now I am happy.
I
cried because I know who I am, where I am going and who I want to be.
I
cried because I am blessed and have been a blessing.
I
cried because I have come to accept life the way it is and I am willing to make
changes, to make mistakes and take advantage of
A
divine opportunity when it comes my way.
I
cried because I have potential, I am creative and talented and most of all
because
I
love myself!
Today
was the right day to cry!
And you know what – Then I cried some more!
