Love in the picture

Nolstagic

Right , left and center
Running up ….running down…
Looking for a place to call home
Looking for a place to stay forever
They say home is where your heart is
But the sky is where my heart is
I wanna feel the pretty little stars ,
my heart belongs with you little pretty stars
My heart soars above the skys
longing for you to guide me home every night

We’ve stared at each other
Sometimes I feel your gaze piercing me
sometimes amidst the engulfing night,
you gaze into my sorrowful eyes ,
feeling the longing in my heart

Beckon to me little stars
Let not the thought of sunrise burden you
Am going to place a bet on us ,
Just you and me
It’s a goal goal win,
regardless of the endless odds,
we both know this is a sure bet

Being real hurts no one
Time and distance makes us strong
This could be perfect
But we won’t know unless we try
Pretty little stars ,
take me to the other side
Pretty little stars
We don’t need the lyrics when we have the melody in us
The sound of our hearts beating as one

Tonight ,
as I kiss you goodnight
I’ll let it slowly linger on
I’ll let you simmer in the moment
Reminding you
how from a distance I have loved you

Confessions of the heart

Usually she’ll read before sleeping

but not tonight

with a slurry mind

she yearns for a tête a tête

to point out that she has lost a track of time

Point out that the days have flown by speed of light

that all she has been doing was putting one foot in front of the other

In front of the first one

living minute by minute

Hour by hour

Going through different days with the same battle

Trying to keep the desires within

Fighting to keep her heart in check

Passion burning her like never before

With a heart with no brain

and a brain sans the heart

Her heart is yours for protecting or breaking

Feeling so isolated,

When the whole world doesn’t know what it got

She loves you as you are

it’s like you living in her head

Scared to live another day hiding

Scared of letting you go

This crush is slowly killing her

She thinks blood is thicker than water but love is stronger

But words don’t come easily

This might be the death of her

There is nothing wilder like her heart

Holding her breath tonight

she waits for you here

Can’t hide it anymore

Got to say what needs saying

hoping she doesn’t scare you away

Everything was simple

Everything was fine

Until you got her tucked in your back pocket

She stands here waiting for you to notice her crushing on you

Please let her know

What does she need to do to get you ?

Good enough

If you know about me
Stain not the darkness of my ways

If you know about me
Refrain from invading my space
You will know am a bird
You will know I cannot be caged

If you know about me
You don’t have to hate this mirror , just change your reflection

If you knew me
You will know am not unbreakable
I’ll love you like I can leave

If you took the time to know me
You will know am toxic
You will know I belong to the other side
You will know I have been through dark tunnels
but came out unharmed

If you knew about me
You will know why am not good for you
You will know I have always been bad for me too

Quit telling me to accomodate you
Even when you try to change me ,
I won’t ,this is the only I can be

Sunset at sunrise

Cheers to the short moments that lasted

The forevers of yesterday

Just another sunset at sunrise

Beautifully long and short lived

Am that song without a tune

The broken winged angel

Am that heart without a beat

The rainbow without its colours

Am the choices I didn’t make

Am the past that is yet to pass

Am the noise sans the sound

Am that promise that I didn’t make

Am a caregiver that didn’t care

Am broken though complete

Am the rain without its drops

Am founded on lies,I was never gonna be perfect

Am not the mistakes I have made

Only the lies I have told

Just the cold that warms you up

Call me a piece of shit

Call me a relic

But I sure as hell,feel like a work of art

Coz am a masterpiece,moulded by the Most High

For you, just you

Oh Luk

You amaze me each morning with your way with words

You leak simplicity out of complexity

Before I veer off the road, is morning your creative hour?

I think am a little mushy now

Too overwhelmed to go basic

Too surprised to utter anything

So imma just pour it out here

hoping it explains the no answer text

You put words into my actions

or is it actions into my words

I don’t know anymore

my vision is too blurred to tell wishful thinking from reality

Secretly I harbour your feelings

but am no fool to come out and just say it

Coz that is an easy fall on my side

Been choosing to take up time

Take up too much time as I sort through my thickets

To find what is it about you that ticks you off

About the black suit and boots offer, you will live to regret haha

It is not too little to late,

I came to this party late too

But I think I wouldn’t mind late driving you

Dark love

They say love is a beautiful thing

It makes the beautiful and ugly all glow

They say it warms us up and it unsettles minds

They say it completes us

Fills up empty hearts

They say it softens up the vicious

They say it brings down staunch kings

Makes the outspoken speechless

As it renders the liberals unreasonable

They say is sees no evil

and it has an eye for beauty

They say love is generous

but it is clothed in jealousy

They say love has no conditions

but once broken it can’t be fixed

They say love comes easy

but you need to hold it close

They say love takes time to grow

what happens to love at first sight?

I say love is crazy

It throws caution out of the window

I say love is heartless,

founded on selfishness

I say love is a dream

too sweet till you wake up alone

I say love isn’t timeless

Easy lost than found

Too much too late

I wanted to correct the past,

rewrite our history first .

I wanted to give us a happy ending ,

Make our forever last a lifetime .

I wanted me to fight for us

I wanted to forgive myself for the wrongs you did

I wanted to say how sorry I have been coz woman is to error

I wanted to say I was too quick to call it quits

Too petty to just let it slide

Just after one too many firsts

I wanted to say am done mooning over you

That the heart craves rest after chasing after the fire

I think am done playing second

Too proud to eat them crumbs

I want to say this is the last of me

That am actually better without you

But look,

I don’t want perfection

Can’t we just be messier together?

A love letter to my ex

Hello there?

Can you hear me as I whisper your name?

Deep in the dark on the other side

I hold on to the little pieces of what we were

If only you could have let me down slowly

A year down the line

my heart still bleeds for you

They said time heals all wounds

but it never fills the void you left

my never ending misery

How I wish things turned out different

How I wish you were still my bear

How I wish I was still your wonder woman

How I wish I didn’t hurt this much

Wish I could let you go

Sorry if this will make you uncomfortable

but I don’t really need you back

I just want the life we had

Now separated going our separate ways

I can’t stop myself from looking back

I know am a shadow of my former self

Zombing through life while clutching on the shreds of the past

Where are you now sweet bear ?

I still cry an ocean for you

You watched me fall

You watched me get lost in your eyes

You watched me loose control as you tamed my heart

Now I can’t recognize the woman in the mirror anymore

Maybe this was good for you but it is sad for me

For a millionth time,

am going to find a way to make it without you

But before I go again,

when did you fall out of love with me?

I choose you

I encountered a nightmare on my way to dream land

Sweetest bitter pill I ever swallowed

From a distant it beckoned me over

drawing me close to it

forcing my eyes open as it dawned on me

I will always choose you

when the nights are dark and long

I will choose you

When your life is decorated with tumoils

I will choose you

When the world shuts its doors on your face

I will choose you

when the rains beat you up

I will choose

Even when your wings fall off and you need a shoulder to lean on

I will still choose you

when the winds beneath your wings tear you apart

I will choose you

when your friends leave you out to die

I will still choose you

When you don’t even choose me
