In Joburg....11/03/08

It was a B & B
The bed so white and big
Fold the four sides and you'd have a casket
I roll around and drown in pillows
My mind trying to stay afloat
As I question the events of today
In what direction am I?
To the essence or the senseless?
Something tells me I am playing with fire and could fall asleep while at it
Or maybe I am drinking more than I need to get home.
Though as I speak, the sky is the limit
But as I reach for the sky, I feel my feet is off the ground
Suddenly I feel lonely
Not because i lack friends
But because the burden of my glory is solely mine to bear
And wouldn't want to make it another's since I am never sure if it is real or otherwise

I am not good at knowing what is good for me
But I sure know what is wrong for me
So often times,I end up wrong
The checkmate of all times
will be to wake one day to realise that I have lived a life of lies
When honesty is the greatest quest.
My values- the end product of a life's work.

In Madrid...07/03/08

It will be a long flight tonight
Thoughts are bound to fight my sleep
Perhaps I will stay awake
And get lost in the wonders of the open skies
Perhaps I will fall asleep and dream of you
Eleven hours is not enough to be with you
The night will be long gone by the time I am awake
But you will always be there.

Life Of Many Colours

Life is of many colours
When mixed it becomes the colour of complexity
But also simplicity, 'depends on the view.
But We have to live above these mountains
Somewhere we could have a better view

Everyone is everyone
So where is me?
Me is in you.
I am something because you feel something.
We always want to touch the sky
But I am closer to you than the stars.
Touch me
And together we will touch the sky.

I know you don't feel me
But check this:
If all we gain today is
All we lose tomorrow
Then life is borrowed
None has all, but
We have all

As for you who won't work
Do you prefer to be a victim or
A victor?
As for you who turns your sleep to slumber
Do you prefer begging to blessings?
For what You give is what You Worth.

As for you who is a slave to your own fear for failure
You will stop at nothing to have anything
Please watch my head as you look ahead
Do your "Anything"
But don't make your joys my pain
For as you walk,
Your footprints keep the record
It will follow you
Even beyond your grave.
