have a little patience


just have a little patience

i'm still hurting from a love i lost
i'm feeling your frustration
then maybe all the pain will stop
just don't be close inside your arms tonight
dont be to hard on my emotions

cause i need time
my heart is numb has no feeling
so while im still healing
just try and have a little patience

i really wanna start over again
i know u wanna be my salvation
the one that i can always depend

i'll try to be strong believe me
i'm trying to move on
it's complicated but understand me

cause i need time
my heart is numb has no feeling
so while im still healing
just try and have a little patience

yeah have a little patience

cause this scar runs so deep
its been hard
but i have to believe me

have a little patience

cause i - i just need time
my heart is numb has no feeling
so while im still healing
just try and have a little patience

lyrics by: take that

inspired


are you inspired
to what extend
do you inspire others
where does it come from

i walk the streets
i buy books
i drink coffee
i think out loud
i talk to strangers
i have been doing this for weeks now

a burden in my chest
not knowing where it comes from
neither where it is taking me
i only know that it has a purpose
i just have to live to find the answer

i woke up all emotional
at the same time inspired
i need only to close my eyes
for the imax of my imagination to open up
for the show to begin
i sometimes wonder why
why this vivid imagination
why this gift
or is it really

none the less
i am inspired
the smallest things
the simplest distraction
be it music
or literature
even sitting in the theatre
inspiration bubbles inside me

do i write
or should i sing
perhaps speak
tell others
of this thing within
share the joy
spread the love
fan the flame

when i close my eyes
my senses take over to
see landscapes
smell flowers
taste foreign cuisine
be filled to the brim with sweet wine
and embraced

i listen to their stories
i look at their faces
i analyse their words
i study their facial expression
cos it tells a story
it paints a picture
it writes their song

somedays
the world is black and white
other days its all colour
its never the same
every day a surprise
a gift of the unknown

so what to do
i keep on walking
let the sun continue to shine
allow the joys to inspire
and the world to spin
which ever way that might be

promise me


you light up another cigarette
and i pour the wine
it's four oclock in the morning
and it's starting to get light
now i'm right where i want to be
losing track of time
but i wish that it was still last night

you look like you're in another world
but i can read your mind
how can you be so far away
lying by my side
when i go away i'll miss you
and i will be thinking of you
every night and day just

promise me you'll wait for me
cos i'll be saving all my love for you
and i will be home soon
promise me you'll wait for me
i need to know you feel the same way too
and i'll be home, i'll be home soon

when i go away i'll miss you
and i will be thinking of you
every night and day just

promise me you'll wait for me
cos i'll be saving all my love for you
and i will be home soon
promise me you'll wait for me
i need to know you feel the same way too
and i'll be home, i'll be home soon
song by: beverly craven

you will be the one


staring at the sky tonight
marvelling and passing time
wondering what to do with daylight
i've been thinking of changing my mind
it never stays the same for long
nothing is for sure anymore
i've been counting up all my wrongs
an apology for every star
but heaven doesn't stretched that far
i won't find what i am looking for
if i only see by keeping score
cos i know now you are so much more
if i give it all and not try to take some back
i've forgotten the freedom that comes with that
cos you are the sum
when the years are showing on my face
when my heart departs this place
from a life dedicated to your song
you'll still be the one i want

new quote

quote #16

"is there not in every human soul an essential spark, an element of the divine, indestructible in this world and immortal in the next; a spark which goodness can preserve and nourish into a glorious flame; an flame which evil can never extinguish?"

everyman man on earth has been created in His image.

dont box me in


dont box me in
dont tell me something you dont mean
dont be false
dont pretend to be someone you are not
for too long
people have walked over me
taken what they wanted
and in return left me with the pain
dont box me in
dont come rushing in
dont leave this heart in turmoil
dont abuse only to benefit yourself
i cant take any more
the burden is weighing me down
my tank is running on empty
there is nothing left to give
dont box me in
stop taking without asking
bring back what you have taken
and allow me to be whole again
you have taken me for granted
you thought it could be better
out there you thought there was more
but now you see it was all in vain
should i allow you back in
will it be different this time
how can i be guarunteed
that you will not box me in
there is always another promise
you think your words will sway me
but i will not be taken for granted again
i will not

who i am


i'm blinded by the light
the black coffee cold on the table
and the day breaks through the night
i stare out into the cold
with red wine stains on the carpet
and i wonder how to break the mould
my mind takes me places
i am haunted by my sins
and i can't seem to forget their faces
i shudder at the crack of the floor
she holds me close, wraps her arms around me
i fear this knocking on my heart's door
i run away through empty streets
past the red door that lures me to danger
not to suffice to their delicacies and treats

i was not made for here


if i find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy
i can only conclude that i was not made for here
if the felsh that i fight is at best only light and momentary
then off course i'll feel nude when to where i'm destined i'm compared
speak to me in the light of the dawn
mercy comes with the morning
i will sigh and with all creation groan
as i wait for hope to come for me
am i lost or just found?
on the straight or on the roundabout of the wrong way?
is this a soul that stirs in me?
is it breaking free, wanting to come alive?
cos my comfort would prefer for me to be numb
an avoid the impending birth of who i was born to become
for we,
we are not long here
our time is but a breath,
so we better breathe it
and i,
i was made to live,
i was made to love,
i was made to know you

hypocrite


"life is a hypocrite if i can’t live the way it moves me...”
Christopher Fry

think of men
that lived passionately
some of them
the greatest among men
adored
envied
loved
hated
admired
written about
men that lived
loved
men that inspired
living without regret
without looking back
sometimes ruthlesss
other times calculated
but always driven
by an instinctive passion to conquer
to overcome
to be significant
i realised what we crave
to live like that
a tristan
a hemingway
a maximus
things daily
it stirrs
it awakens
it moves
a picture
scenery
sounds
smells
it takes us
in our minds
but we fear
our bodies cant take us there
we compromise
we get cheated
we miss out
we regret
frustrated
unfulfilled
i say
dont allow it
fight the hypocrisy
and allow life to move you
