The Love Story: Part 2

We were talking til twelve in that restaurant
A party had just ended nearby
And the waiter thought it'll be nice to bring us balloons from there
When you dropped me off, I just wanted to stay there
To hug and talk to you, no reason why
It was something so wonderful, letting balloons go into the deep, black and welcoming sky

It was under the stars
As I looked in your eyes, there was some kind of light
Light that said something was happening there
And stars in my heart jumping everywhere
It was one of those moments that no one should miss
Providence, romance, our very first kiss
When God just looked down with a smiling heart
We discovered that something amazing would start

We let ourselves go
And let everything flow
It was amazing
Our bodies synchronized
Discovering each part
And what made us tickle...
....
Our very first date...

The Love Story: Part 1

‘Excuse me. I'm from the FBI, the Fine Body Investigators, and I'm going to have to ask you to assume the position.’
My heart first skipped a beat at the mention of FBI
Then I became annoyed by what he meant it to be
But eventually I calmed myself down and found the humour behind it.
I laughed so hard,
I had never heard such line used before.
Intrigued by his confidence
My curiosity pulled me right into the seat next to him
I just had to find out why
His deep voice amazed me
Every word he spoke felt soo calm
The more he spoke, I could envision myself wrapped up by that soothing voice and put to bed like a newly born baby
His big brown dreamy eyes left me lost in his world
I wanted to stay forever in those eyes that night
Till reality decided to show up disguised as my girl friend
I had to leave
I hesitated
I did not want to leave him all alone
His dreamy eyes turned to sad, lost eyes
I just knew we had to meet again…
‘Same time. Tomorrow. Here. I’m an FBI agent, u still owe me,’ He said
….

2 sides to every story

You're dead
Everyone is in black and red
But yesterday you were sitting here drinking tea and eating bread
It's just so weird

The heart trembles with fear
Just like the earth as we hope it doesn't tear
Death strikes us like lightening
As it shines it's light,
Leaving us in disarray

So what's next,
do we mourn or celebrate?
Do we cry or smile?
'Cos there's always two sides to every story

Just like everything in life
It withers and dies
So why do we cry?
When we know that one day you'll be in the sky?
But well...
That's one side of the story

The children run in circles full of smiles
And reminds us of our journey through miles.
We fear death
But we live as if we are deaf
Refusing to hear when other's say
'You only live once'
Until the last minute,
When you realize what joy it is to be alive

So it's up to those you leave behind
To celebrate your life for you
And find that strength to continue the celebration
Till they also lay down to their last breath and reminisce

...And that's the other side of the story...

So make your choice
You have two options
With different functions
That require careful calculations
For guidance along the path of bereavement

'Forces'

The forces around us are stronger than u think
The energy around them can create electricity for the entire world
They mean business
Weakness are what they pry on
Strength in the Lord is what they try to break

Be careful of those you call 'friends'
They feed on happiness
They thirst on wealth
Their happiness is your downfall
Not all those smiles are sincere

They say the best way to know who your real friends are is when they stick around during the bad times
But it's a lie
Most may pretend to be there but long for the reward

Your possessions are what they use to stand strong
But what do u have to fight them?

Not every war is fought with guns, bombs and stones
But every war can be conquered with the word 'Jesus'

As kids we always sang, ' prayer is the key'
but we never really knew what it meant
As kids we were always told, 'you would understand when you grow older'
I'm older now but I still don't understand

Why people do things to others
Why people are soo desperate to be like the other
Why people will do anything to acquire wealth
Why they will lie and destroy and eventually get something that will make them miserable their entire life

'God doesn’t remove all of our imperfections,
but He makes us beautiful by shining through them.'

no title

Every day is a struggle..
Some reach their destination, others fall back
Falling back doesn't mean your a failure
Failure allows you to have a second chance
Chance to show who you are
You are beautiful inside and outside to shine
Shine so bright those walking by you need to wear shades
Shades of black and white is what you would mostly wear
Wear what seems fit to show people your curves and shape
Curves and shape define you
You are not perfect, nothing comes easy
Easy as it may seem but difficult as u begin to try
Try and prove them wrong
Wrong and bad criticism make you stronger
Stronger enough to imprint your name on their hearts
Hearts are fragile and easy to break
Break not thy heart by trying to please
Please forgive and let go of the burden
Burden...everyday is a struggle

Once bitten twice shy

Look at him
You wonder what's going through his head
He's got the nicest clothes, cleanest shoes
but his eyes are so far into his head

He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but fed with the dirtiest his whole life
Its not his fault his dad is a drug dealer
Or his mom a prostitute

His wide and amazing smile hides his pain...
He surrounds himself with people to avoid thinking...
He lacks what most of us call family...

His cars...money; friends took for granted
They stole and cheated but he had no say
Days and nights passed till the month of May
When both parents died and left him with no pay

Now he sits on his stairs
And stares into space
With no where to go and nothing to do
Thinking about the things he should have thought of before

Life hit him hard on the head before
But he healed the wound and forgot to grasp the message
Once bitten twice shy
Time has passed...
He continues to stare
Looking for answers in the air

With a deep sigh
He shuts his eyes...

Unknown

My mind is running, my stomach is racing, and my heart is doing laps…
Everything all jumbled up like a rubix cube…
The perfection of imperfection
The adequacy of nothingness
The principle of uneasiness
Worry is a disease that takes a little from ou
I’m sitting here with a migraine trying to figure things out…
Stupidity is an act of life but not a way of life
Ignorance is a form of stupidity
Failure to notice is an achievement of ignorance
I don’t speak in parables; I just speak what I feel
I speak more in words than with my mouth and actions
It’s like hanging on at the edge of a cliff and holding on but you give up and let go
I’m no beast, I’m no monster, I’m just here to care and protect
People go around speaking gibberish about living life to the fullest and enjoying every part of it
But do they know the challenges that come with life?
You can’t eat your cake and have it
Such is life
I walk on my feet everyday thinking to myself wishing I had a car
And I look into the faces of others that pass by and I play the guessing game
…. greedy? angry? Happy? Peaceful? Selfish? Forgiving? Hurt? Torn? Broken?
What more can I say? Everyone has a different face
I don’t judge, I just play the game

Someone

I love how you know what to say to mk me smile no matter how bad I feel
I love your smile...esp your cheesy smile when you want to get me to do something for you
I love how you always want to share no matter how little you have
I love your willingness to help
I love when you stare into my eyes and speak through them
I love when you touch my face...in that moment everything is perfect
I love your hugs...
Your kisses...
Your touch...
How you speak to me...
The things you say...


We still have soo much to learn from each other
I can't imagine a day without hearing from you, how much more 2 days or 3
Every morning, I wake up with u in mind eager to say goodmorning
I dream of our future, where our lil kids run around screaming 'mummy' 'daddy'

Sometimes when I think of how we met and what we have become, there's no doubt that we are meant to be
I sometimes make mistakes and you help me learn from them
it's never easy but you always help us find ways to make it work
I couldn't ask for anything more than what I have in you

People look at us and say, 'look at them...that's true love'
Other say, 'you guys are always with each other that you look alike'

We ARE always with each other, both physically and emotionally
You are always in my heart and mind like God guiding me along the way

It's reality...

Invisible

I'm in a room full of people
But no one sees me
I'm standing right next to you
But you look straight through me
I call your phone, you answer
But you can't hear my voice
It's like the walls I built around me
Now blend with what surrounds me
I'm like that one grain of rice
That falls on the floor
And goes uncooked
And before they even notice me, i'v already been pushed and stepped upon
Ready to be swept away

How can I continue to stand
And hang on
When those who claim to help push me further down
When my efforts to be noticed are just passed by like the beggars on the streets
But somethings are not worth fighting for or against

Invisibility is the game
And I always win first place

Alone

Alone

The street light beams on top of me
As if its a play and the spot light is on me
Except this time eyes are not on me

Loneliness is the theme
And I am the protagonist
All the other characters have left
And the stage is to be my own

Loneliness

Even a stray dog looks at me and runs in fear that he may catch my disease
My hands freeze in the cold longing for that warmth of care

Kindness

I see people pass by and they are afraid to look
Thinking that I may reach out to them for help

Love

There are those who look and wish to help but care too much of what others may think
And they continue to walk but look at me from the corner of their eyes

The lights go dim
The play is coming to an end
Slowly I lift my head up
Eyes full of emptiness
Heart punched with holes
Never to be filled
I stand alone

Darkness

The Girl

Through the insults and disgrace I looked beyond and found friendship
Bt the stabs in the back felt deeper than the Ocean
The girl I used to know has disappeared
The girl has gone astray like the dogs in the street that sniff every corner for a good familiar smell
I look at you in disbelieve and disgust
In pain and anger...
Searching to find the hole that caused the leak
But here I stand facing the hole eye to eye...it's you!
I see you speeding through the checkpoints of life
It's like you got no breaks
You need to slow down Before you run over a cliff and hit rock bottom...
The girl I used to call my friend is now my enemy
It's not a coincidence that I heard a man preach this morning on the radio about things i need to let go
No it wasn't a coincidence, it was a realization
He was talking about you!
The lies!...the insults!...the hatred!
I never thought they were real
I familiarized myself with only love...kindness...care
That the dark side of those just hanged on long enough to find its way to creep up on me
The girl is gone forever
Cut off! Removed! And replaced!
Its over...
The girl I know is the girl I knew

you want more...?

You shod thnk of life as a game
You have to choose btn easy, normal and difficult
You get to a point in your life where all that you normally do is just not enough and you want more
Sometimes you wish you did more with your life but you just don't know where to start
But remember that once you have that dream and ambition there's always hope
People will be around trying to stop you and distract you with all sort of claims and drama but...
FOCUS!
DONT GIVE UP!
It's worse living with the regret of never trying than living with the thought that you tried and did not succeed.
As humans we sometimes tend to rely on others to push us and make the way for us...if you continue to do that, you will live your boring life always yearning for more
But don't get it twisted, somethings don't come as easy as people show it to be...

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

They come and go
Its not everyone thats worth holding on to
Thnk about it
....we have friends that we are close with
....friends that are close to us
....friends we can always count on
....friends we can always talk to
....friends that we call wenever you need something
....friends that we dont even know their last name
....friends that are bad influence
....friends that are filthy rich, well to do and poor
....friends with benefits
Which of these do we hold on to?
The kind of respect you give to people depicts the kind of friends they'll be to you
The kind of language, intonation u use with your friends says what you want from that friendship
The attitude and manner you show towards them put them in a certain category
Friends come and go but there are just a few you should be able to hold on to
Being in a friendship is just like being in a relationship...it's a two way thing without the romance and intimacy...
Patience, Communication, Kindness, Care, Acceptance, Trust...the key to true friendship

ever wondered...?

Hv u ever woken up and wondered how u got into this world?
Ever wondered how u opened your eyes to notice it was a different day?
How it is soo easy for you to get up and walk? Right leg, left leg, right leg, left leg
The wonders of life can never be explained until you understand fully the power God is enriched with
Each day there are obstacles that come our way preventing us from driving through the smooth road
Ever wonder how we are able to dodge them or even go over them without getting fully damaged..?
People hvnt noticed and realised the gift of life and therefore waste it by doing drugs and turning to the devil
Some have a good life but have not noticed and realized the work God has done for them
Every single person is alive today because of a prayer someone said for them
Ever noticed there are wicked people that occupy this earth?
That is because God wants us to learn and be able to bring them to Him
The little things in life are the ones worth appreciating the most
A simple prayer can make a day that was destined to be bad, turn good
People say 'live your life as if it were your last day on earth' but i say 'live your life with God and you would never have to worry about your last day on earth'
I urge u to sit back n think about everything on this earth and wonder how it all came to life
They can all be scientifically proven but what is the root of that theory..?
Theres only one answer to everything and that is God
So therefore never let a day go by without saying three words
'Thank You God'

my time

This is my time to rejuvenate...and become better
Rediscover and create the best
Search for the people that will help keep up the best
Life is a struggle that may lead you to your rest
But you gotta know how to live life to the fullest
Be at peace with yourself and be the realest
For there are people out there that are the 'fakest'
Dont go looking for people at places that will take you to the deepest
Cos its hard climbing back up to reach to the highest
Its time to rethink and to re adjust
Cos life is too unfair for us to keep thinking it is just
We have to take our mind out of the gutter and stop thinking of lust
Cos we cant see through the bust
And we will end up with something that will take us back to dust
There's only one thing that can save us in this world
And that is to know God and keep him close
Therefore this is my time!


are you listening?

Are you listening?
My world is at a stand still
I have no where to hide
It has pushed me into the light, I shout n look for shelter like a vampire
The walls are closing in on me like I have no time left to live
What I'm I to do to deserve a second chance
The sun shines on me like a thief that has been caught
Nothing makes sense to me as I stand and look around like a kid in a new school
My mind is drowning with the questions that are flooding it

Is my place in the dark? Where nothing is exposed and I feel no joy?
Are you still there?
The walls have slowed
Does that mean I'm safe? The light is still shining, should I be scared?
I thirst and hunger for what is unknown to the darkness
I don't know if you are still listening but I give up
Pinned to the ground and left in the sun
To starve and cry for what I wish to have
I don't make sense and nothing makes sense to me
Where is everyone?
Those that promised to be there in times of need?
Those that shared in the joy I used to have?
Those that loudly wished the best for me?
Have they all left me here?
*sigh*

The Best??


They never teach you how to live life but they bring you into this world and expect you to be the best
What is the best?
I could be a bum and lay in bed all day and be the best at it..does that make me the best?
I can sit and read all day, is that being the best?
everyone talks about being the best but have they achieved that?
Most often people who expect most from you ask, 'is this the best you can do?' but have you ever stopped to ask them what 'best' they are expecting
We all live in this world throwing words around like they were garbage
Most of us dont sit to analyze the effect of the word
Being the best is ignoring the rest
And being the best for yourself
But I still ask...what is the best?
Society has its own best
The family has the own best
Everyone says they want to be the best but have u asked them what being the best means?
As humans we come with expectations but more often than not we hardly know the destination of that
I, as a normal everyday human being will tell you to strive for the best but most importantly strive for YOUR BEST!

Absence

The absence 
 U never know the effect of a something until its gone 
People go and more come
But what always remains is FAMILY
but 
Wat if family leaves...den Wat next 
It's hard enough for single mothers/fathers but it's harder For both parents to be there but not there 
It's a make and break situation 
Ghanaian fathers have the mentality of having a family and only providing for them in terms of finance 
They leave out the emotional part of being a father 
Most of us children grow up with the fear of doing our fathers wrong because we know that's the end of our school and everything that has to do with finance 
I believe that u never fully understand how much one is worth or means to you until death shows himself 
I am no father therefore I don't know what it means to be a father 
But I am the child of my father and I know what it means to have a father but not have a father 
I was not asked to be born but I am here and living the life you gave to me 
I do not ask for anything but TIME 
I'm not afraid to lose you because it's like you are already gone  
The absence 
You are there but you are not there
We see you but it's like you are invincible to us 
Correct your mistakes and come into the light 
Come into the light and create a pathway for us to follow
Do not lead us astray because then u will lose us forever 
The absence
