If i die tonight
Moments for Life
Days later I can still recall each tik tok as if its my heart beat.
My memory never loses such moments, they form part of me,
Sometimes I lose chances in my life, No, actually I throw them away,
My face filled with pride I find hard to fill it with a smile even if fake,
my expectations so high even the rainy clouds stretch their vision to see.
I am lost in my own maze, this maze called life,
I take each step with boldness that reflect just how lost I am,
I see myself as my own guide but the fact is that I am lost in my own maze,
My thoughts are my map and those around me are the guides,
Like Delilah, I am shaved but by Him I am saved

One Moment at a Time
Living one moment at a time,
Taking in each breath as the last,
Bending to the whispers of the wind,
Submitting to the surprises of life,
Being surprised by life itself.
Sweeping myself off my feet by love,
Spreading love to those who realise,
Only after you're tired of showing it to them.
Taking in news with the force it carries,
Loving while not knowing the feeling at the other end,
Walking back and forth in a tunnel:
Hoping that light will shine at the other end.
Making friends and forgetting more,
Giving each one time and a role too,
Living for them but not dying for them,
Watching their dreams wane,
Just like mine, maybe just faster.
Living one moment at a time,
That's how I prefer to stay,
I have chased after love,
Now I will just for this magician called time.

I Can't Erase You
looking up at my ceiling;
seeing your face spread on the white paint.
The sole bulb in my room is your navel,
sometimes I believe you are actually painted there,
but it is always a projection of my thoughts.
There is nowhere else I would want you but by my side,
each and every morn, your arm on my chest,
I am pretty sure I'd always smile at you Pretty.
I would tread my paths with delightful care,
only to see you again in one piece at dusk.
I would explore you like a rat in a maze,
Only that my maze would be sealed by your charm,
I wouldn't be helpless because in you I find a solace;
Your smile with lazy eyes would be my healer, I'd be your patient.
My dose I'd never miss, because it is you.
I wouldn't buy a telescope;
I would stare at the stars in your eyes,
My hands would get dirty but never rough;
I wouldn't want to mess with your tenderness;
My voice would be your lullaby because in it you are soothed;
I wouldn't strain myself, even you,
because in you I find a resort; a place I can call home.

Halfway to the Moon
my eyes were attached to the stars,
I wanted to go to the Moon,
and to reach there, so I was advised
I had to fix my aim to the stars yonder.
I glid, slowly through the sweet warm evening air,
with just one yearnin', one call,
I moved further higher, leaving Earth to its misery,
I felt wet all over,
the clouds, a sight to behold!
I moved higher,
the moon grew bigger,
my body began to freeze, and so did my mind.
If I left earth,
would I ever behold the beauty of the rising sun?
Would I feel warmth of my family,
would I jump at the sight of my love?
would I even have the gravity to hold me down to my seat,
with my buddies as we watched soccer?
Would I have the pleasure of strolling the sidewalks,
taking in the aroma of mixed dinners in the hood?
I looked back down,
and oh! it was the best sight!
I fell down, down, down to my Earth,
my home, where I belong

Two Shades of Gray
the first thought was a couple, a whisper of the lady,
taken high by the tight clutch of her man,
also taken high, with lust, like a jet with no parachute,
my conscience held a ceremonial fight with my feet,
like a kid who has been promised candy,
only and only if he doesn't touch the toy.
My feet evidently won the battle,
for the next minute I found myself walking down the alley,
literally creeping,
like whatever I wanted to see held the key to my breath.
The voice grew louder with each step I took,
like I was pumping energy into it,
it was a low voice, the kind you hear on rare occasions,
an indication of extreme emotions or feelings.
Ever observed the antennae of a cockroach when it senses your presence?
I couldn't describe my curiosity any other way,
my adrenaline was moving at paces I trust my feet could never achieve,
my curiosity moved me on and on.
What I saw moved my heart into my throat, literally,
I almost threw up,
a lady lay there, no longer human,
her face covered in her own blood,
I think she looked up to me,
and drew in her last.
