Friendship Over Love

Without you is my moonless night
No shines, no light and its not bright
Wishing that you'll always by myside
That we'll be together like till do as apart

Having you as a friend, you are my inspiration
To be with you at the end would be a great destination
But there is one problem that block this dream
I dont have a courage, for my feelings to scream

Be my beat to my song so there would be life
Be my like an earth core so I can be alive
All I wanted to do is to be with you
But it seems that it just cannot be true

No more no less and its just to be there
Where our friendship is what should remain
It may be sad that I choose to be a coward
But I'll try to move forward with this friendship over love

Termoil

The brightness of daylight highlights my fears
The mask I wear might be revealed

The darkness of night brings dread
The shadow puppets play memories from my head

The wisdom of time reek havok on my mind
So cruel and unkind I need to unwine

Drifting

My tortured mind sores through the sky
Sarching the ground for a safe place to land
Once on the ground I can't seem to stand

My mind spins with constant confusion
I wonder around like a drifter
Knowing not where to go

As I look to the future I cannot forget the past
I try to fly again but constantly fall to the ground
Like a flightless bird I can only dream of what used to be

Who am I

Raindrops hide my tears
Songs on the radio play my fears

I know I'm not the first
It feels like the worst

My heart is about to bust
I am forever cursed

Animal Horns

for Kenya

The cries of hyenas are human cries
The teeth of the lion are human
Jaws of crocodiles are human jaws
Our blood changes into venom
We destroy our own young
We hunt the young of others
We smell slaughter on the wind
Why then consider ourselves separate
If we walk in animal footprints
Why number our tribes
If migrations end in murder
Why give a name to creation
If the same wild God destroys it

If you remember me

If you remember me when I am gone,
when life is mine no more
then shut all bad things,
all unpleasant thoughts of me
like you will a closing door

and let it be like the first time
that we have met
when every thing between us was new

and let I be to you
the things and words that made you smile,
and remember me for just a little while
with no sadness or pain

and let things remain between the two of us
as it was when you loved me best
and then forget me
and let me rest and have tranquillity
while my words still live on
as parts of me while I am gone.
