S.L.U

How little, to you, do I mean I do not know
How stupid must it really look when I hold your hand so tight
How awful must it be to see a fool who continuously seeks you
Hoping that somehow he will find a way to your heart

How unfortunate must it be to receive such unwanted attention
That seeks to find a way to you
How sad must it be to put up with empty words that seek to make an impact so foolishly fast
How painful, baby, must it me to enjoy the caress of sweet nothings
That taste so sweet and yet whose meaning is sorrowfully empty

How hard must it be to avoid such foolishness that seeks to comfort everything and yet
offers the pain of hope where there can be none.
How very hard must it be to ignore the sincerity laced with a hint of sadness that
hides itself under watery tears of joy
How, my sweetie, can you take on this enormous, gigantic task of all this hopelessness and keep on going
when the promise of everything is tempered with the reality of nothing

A letter to you

I do not know what I mean to you
Or where I stand with you
I do not know what I am to you
Or if I mean anything too.

I feel like a pawn in a chess game
And I don’t know whether my words
Have trapped me or whether I have dug for myself
A slippery slope by falling for you.

Either way I am writing to tell you
That I do not mind.
I am jealous and possessive but deep down I love too foolishly to ever be able to be meaningful to you.

So if you must do what you need to, then do so
If you must play my game to keep me happy, then indulge my foolishness
For I am so conceited that I will not be able to see or accept tolerance for likeness

And maybe this foolishness shall be my downfall.
My cowardly request to you is when the end is upon us, plunge the dagger in deep and swift
For I can suffer a thousand wounds but a harsh whisper and my heart will tear into pieces

I feel full circle not being able to see through my empty words
I feel lost and alone, foolish and helpless
And I feel cold.

I feel changes are coming and I see them sweeping through us so fast and so strong that I may be too weak to face them alone
I see the desert wind approach and swiftly hiding you and taking you away
I feel hopeless and frightened to lose you and I feel so tired and weak, that
I want to lie down give up my heart and go to sleep.

Addy

I don’t know how to say it but I’m falling for you
My heart’s in a free fall and I don’t know what to do
I tried to lock my heart away, but its happening now…
That’s all I want to say

I don’t know how this story will end
My hearts made the call and I am feeling unwell
I’m trying to stay calm but there’s chaos inside
The spark has been lit and its easy to cry

I do not know this my destiny
My numbers do not give one security
I am seeing but I am also blind
I don’t know what to do when it comes to reality

Can these silly words heal a bruised and battered heart
Can an honest touch bring about a little joy
Can being close protect you from pain
Can a foolish heart take on Heartbreak again

O what, what will this turn out to be
A fairy tale or a tragedy
I do not know but I’m not giving up so easily
The pain does hurt but nothing good ever came easy.

To my beloved country

My country, my people
i feel an unease
What peace can we believe in
When our netas our lives tease

My country my people
I know that we are strong
I believe that we will overcome
But how much longer can we carry the inept along

My country my people
In you I believe
Our future is in our hands now
May we come out refreshed, alive, anew


My country my people
I write with a humble plea
Go out and vote with your conscience
This is your destiny.

Baby

I will wait for you baby
It might take a while
You are young and as calm as the sea
I am old, and, most times, quick to anger, I flee

I know deep down you feel the answer
It’s just hard ‘cause it might be true
I shall keep on waiting because I care
I know not why but maybe the heavens sent me there

I am afraid I might fail at times
I am weak and not so brave alone
And although I have found my love
I worry, for me she does not see

i know i seem eager, in a hurry, and, at times, earnest
it just may not be right
for what fool is he who rushes in madly
what can this simple mind guarantee

So my baby let me look at you again…. and again
I know it’s confusing and hard to understand
In the midst of this troublesome, worrying world
I wish, for you, someone who will always be there.

I don’t know what the future is
I sometimes wish I can tell
All I want is love, for then we can be happy
And the rest can go to hell.
