Asleep or Awake

Are you asleep or awake
are you pondering about the past mistakes
are you asleep or awake
are you thinking all about your heartache
the cold of the nights rushing in,
filling up the empty room, and your empty heart
blending all into one, and cannot seperate
this feeling of love, stirred with anger and hatred
you can sit down and let life pass you by if u want
but to get into the past and change reality, you cant
you can sit down and let life pass you by if u want
or you can change whats in your hand. and get things to straight from slant
good or bad, who are others to decide for you
it all depends on the seed that you plant
and how it is nourished.
let go of the past, and slowly but surely it will soon perish
are you asleep or awake
look on the walls, the shadows that u make
are as good as real, but in reality, all is fake

Oh Silence

Saturday afternoon
It was warm and cozy
On the couch, Bored and lazy
You arrive right in time
As your ideas were fun and crazy
You wrapped your arms around me
And i was happy to be all yours
We spent quality time behind closed doors
I told you all about my stories
About my troubles and worries
You heard them all while feasting on home made pastries
You told me to let go of it all and forget my miseries
You thought me lessons from nature, birds and trees
You told me to remain calm no matter how hard the breeze
Not to sweat no matter how many degrees
Oh.! Silence, you've brought me releive
For all the lessons from you ive received
I'm on my knees
Dont leave me please

Shake it Baby, Shake it

a quarter past four
sounds like a knock on your door
you get up on your bed
with many thoughts in your head
the feelings arrive of the one's that you dread
as light breaks into darkness
awakening you from silence
shake it baby, shake it
get up and be awake
it's the start of a brand new day and it's no mistake
laziness are just reasons that we make
shake it baby, shake it
there are no such things as ache's
the key in life is just to be brave
or else, you'll bring along regrets until they dig your grave

It's not in what you say, but in what you do

You said you were tired, but you ended up talking all night long
You said you were right, but the mistakes you’ve done proved you wrong
You said that you knew the answer, but you havent really known the question
You said that you were up-to-date, but the clothes that you wear really out of fashion
You said that you’ll be a true friend, but in the end you never showed compassion
You said that you knew the direction, but look now you got stuck at the intersection
You said that you wanted someone to hold on to, but all you wanted was gold and silver
You said that you were feeling warm, but you think i cant see your hands shiver
You said that you were in great shape, but look at you, your face pale with yellow fever
You said that you didnt beleive in love. But i’m standing here watching you go away with that other man
In the end,
It’s  not what you say, its in what you do
You said my feelings for you was just a lie, but today i stand here to prove them true
That i’ve always been loving you.

A New Horizon

As the dark and grey clouds start to clear
The sun starts to shine and evade the skies
Dew drops soaking fresh  carnations
Cold wind blowing against my face
awakening me into this new place
This new place i call ‘ a new horizon’
A place to which  i’ve never been
Where everything is so ever-green
Just like the place i’ve seen in a dream
The water flowing up it’s streams
bringing to me
God’s beautiful gift
i allow myself adrift
to receive with open arms
only one and not many
the very few of pure beauties
and that’s you.
