Please don’t hurt my heart
Don’t sentence it
At least not intentionally
To a prison of pain and death
For when my heart gets suicidal
I myself die with it.

THE AWAKENING
In the newness of love
I found myself falling deep
A taste of its sweet poison
The awakening of love
Like rain in the harmattan
My dry cracked heart welcomed love.
A strong self now weakened
The walls of pain broken
Its sweetness like an epidermic
Quickly sweeping through the heart
Yet, like an awakening
Reviving the emotions from the dead.
You and I
You and I were one of a kind
I was yours and you were mine
Like honey to the bee
We were never apart
We had our ways to love
There wasn’t a pair like us
In all the world to find
You and I were meant to be.
Once Again
If you would love me
Once again
Ignite the quenched flame
Of our love
Revived from the ashes.
If you would tell me
Once again
That you love me only
Your words, sweeter than honey
Will make fireworks.
I would go crazy
Once again
My mind lost and wandering
In your love
Only to be found by you.
‘Twill be soon
When love will find us
The years will mend
And our hearts will bind
Once again.
Life gave me you
Life gave me you
To calm my feelings of blue
Yea, life sprouts love anew
My heart watered by your dew.
Not a gift tied with the bows
But bits and pieces
To the doorstep of my heart
I knew you were gold inside.
A treasure to last
When the years go by
Life gave me you
So forever you I choose.
