ONLY YOU ....

I have seen real love in you
I have visited the moon with you
I have toured the universe through you
And I am yet to see a greater miracle
I have seen us in a perfect dream
Only you bring me up when I am down
When you touch my lips you touch me right
I feel pains disappear
You make me weak and wild

I have kissed the moon in a million times
There is no limit in the sky
You did things love never did
Even though life is no fun so many times
But in you I have found a worthy life
Now I am crazy for you
But still I haven’t seen anything
That makes me cry like you do
Life is a bed of roses with you
And in roses thorns live too
You remain my number one baby!

TODAY .......

TODAY…

Today I was born
Today was the beginning
Today that virtuous woman sighted me
Today that woman cried to have me here
Today she bared it all for me
Today I came from the world above
To bear witness to the greatness of my creator
Today I was welcome
Today they all felt the need to touch me
Today I was innocent
Today I was guiltless
Today, I am grown
With a lot of desires
And I keep on the trials
I search for the inspiration
Just to keep alive my ambition
Today, a day to reflect
Over the things I expect
Strongly, God I respect
I have a life impossible to oppose
Because my life is for a purpose
Even though I stumble
Never will I fumble
I refuse to settle for less
Mountain High River deep regardless
All thanks to God today and forever
Today has always been a blessing
Why will I not sing?
My journey started today
I was born today!

Black morning

How can he leave me speechless?
Why did he leave me helpless?
Now he’s gone under the ground
He’s put my joy on a hold
Until i am again bold
All of these untold
My heart bleeds for a lost love
The sun now after him
The moon now he can’t see
Now cock crows he hears not
He’s gone to return no more
As short as life is
Never knew so his
What I feel now is fears
In my eyes drop bitter tears
We have seen seasons together
What happened to all we planted?
The fruits he couldn’t wait to gather
What about the dreams
The passion
The fire
The desire
The determination
The zeal
The hopes
What happened to them?
The future have vanished with today
This black gloomy morning
This morning
Brought me mourning
I cry for a friend
With a heart so heavy
Dear friend
You had a life
You had a laugh
But you had it not long
I will miss you

HE DIES

Your pride and music ended here
In the world of the dead
Worms are your blanket
Maggots are your bed
Now you have eternally fallen
You have brought down lives
Now you are brought down yourself
Now you are deep in the land of the dead
Those who see you now will ask
So this man is not this more than?
This man who made the world trembles?
And shook up kingdoms?
This man who put innocent ones in prison?
And refuse to let them go alive?
You have murdered many
You delighted so much in evil
Now your family will be forgotten forever
And your sons will pay the crimes you committed
They won’t ever be called a leader
At last
The wicked man dies
Relief to many lives

I RISE

The day was dawn on me
The sun came on me
The rain has fallen on me
Now the sun, slowly giving a way to the evening
Here I have been sitting
Eluded with gifts and talents so raw
My lips are dried away of my dreams
I sit here and speak to the sun and moon
Telling how lofty the dreams I have
The moon must have been tired listening to my stories
Of dreams never come true
The day keeps coming in and going away
My bones keep getting older and frail
Still unable to fulfill the mission
My passion lives here in my mouth
The vision gets blur each day
The older, the more, the prizes
Yet it’s only a life here
I can’t ask for more life
But I can ask for real grace
Now I rise
Now I go to ask the moon
Ask the stars, the sun
Even ask the birds
Because my place is up there
Up there where they live
I have been here for too long
Let me go ask and learn the way
I rise to go pay the prize
Now I quit the gaze
I want to run a race
