The ground moved under me

The ground moved under me
And all hell broke loose.
Nothing was stable anymore,
Nothing was in its place.
Everything's amiss and everything's a mess.
Thee ground moved under me and all I can do is digress.

Everything moved, some in the way and some out of it.
Some changes happened for the better and some for the worse.
What a relief from always having to shift ground.
The ground moved under me,
Can't decide if this is a boon or a curse

For the 1st time I hadn't made an effort to move.
Move from where I was to where I want to go.
For the first time I let myself be directed.
The ground moved under me,
My place, my position was now corrected.

I stand still now waiting for a sign,
That my path is ready and designed
Well enough to let me move and walk along a rocky groove.
For when the ground moved under me
Debris and broken hearts were left behind
Yet under the destruction,
there is a path I must find.

Dear Heart

Dear Heart,
Why must you suffer the pain of my wrong doing?
Others say you deserve to feel this way.
But how can I blame you for feeling the way you do.
A partner doesn't abandon.
I can't live without you and you can't without me.
Together we see through the best and the worst of times.
Dear heart, pain is temporary.
Tomorrow will be a happier day.
Or maybe it will be today.
But suffer no more old friend
For I have grown to understand you.
And you understand me.
Maybe the past helped us grow.
The future will be better.
No more is it me against you.
It's me and you against the world.
Come what may, I'm never leaving your side again.
You and I can conquer and achieve.
And with each other, there can be no one stronger.
O heart of mine, let me be foolish no more.
I've learnt a lesson thats for a lifetime:
Your own heart before any other,
Fall in love within before falling for another.

Match Maker

Match Maker, where have you been?
I've been trying to hunt you down ever since you set this all up.
I'm angry, I'm sad, I'm sure you made a mistake.
Your choice was wrong, admit it for my sake.

Match Maker, I thanked you and I payed your price
you said he was the best, and that I would be his only vice.
But it looks like you had something else up your sleeve,
When you brought us together and then took my leave.

Match Maker, how could you? How could you be so mean?
Taking a heart as pure as mine and giving it to a devil of man kind.
Match maker, don't even try to fix this, now that you have returned.
I've fixed myself up in time, my heart, again, never to burn.

I'll find my own match this time, no help from you, thank you!
For no match can be made by another for me, especially by one like you.
I'll find him on my own you see,
and I'll tell him about you and what you did to me.

So, Match Maker, you may go back to where you came from now,
I cant't stand the sight of you, somehow.
Get along and let me some space.
There's someone behind you, are you hiding him? Move! Let me see his face.

Small Girl, Big World

Let me go to a far away land, let me see what the world has to show.
Let me marvel and grasp at the wonders of creation.
I want to sit at the edge of a cliff
and close my eyes and feel the breeze cool my feet.
At the top of a mountain, I want to feel as small as a rain drop.
I want to swim and dive down to the bottom of the ocean
and marvel at the creatures that breathe no differently than us.
I want to cross borders and feel like there is no color, but just that of humanity.
No boundaries, just the spread of culture and language.
I want to go and learn of the ways that my brothers around the world live and laugh.
And maybe we could laugh together at the fact that language divides us but expression doesn't.
I want to taste more than just cuisines, I want to taste the flavors of the land
and maybe that which makes these places so delicious to travel to.
Let me sail towards the horizon, until there is no horizon any more,
but just another piece of land inviting me to its shore.
I want to get lost, at least once, somewhere in a city
and I want to find my way home, wherever it may be at the time.
I want to hold the world in my hand but nonetheless feel like a grain of sand. 

Attraversiamo- Let's Cross Over

Crossing over
From darkness to light,
From last year to a new one,
From one continent to another,
From one relationship to another.
We are crossing over all the time.
We are constantly in motion.
Around the sun, walking home, pumping blood through our bodies.
We don't stop.
Every step ahead is one step left behind,
Moving on.
We move when we know we deserve better.
When a step is all it takes to be more than what we are.
We cross over,
over obstacles and evil,
over oppressors and gossipers,
over heart aches and sleepless nights,
over broken bones and broken marriages,
over dictatorship and demons.
We cross over because we deserve better.
Sometimes we cross over because good is not enough when extravagant is in our reach.
Sometimes crossing over is not as easy as it sounds.
But when you start that journey,
you know you've already given yourself more than the world could ever give you.
And that's the best you can gift yourself.
Don't live in the dark, cross over to the light.
The darkness might be trying but don't give up the fight.

It's better by the sea

By the sea we held hands.
In the city we don't even meet.
The concrete chaos keeps us apart
Or is it our chaotic hearts?

Its easier by the sea, talking, laughing, kissing, smiling.
By the sea we make peace, in the city we war it out.

The waves are calm, the sun is warm. The feeling is mutual.

The traffic is immense, the air polluted. The feeling is aggressive.

I'd rather we meet by the sea than by the city.
For the sea gave me you while the city took you away.

Today as we both live in the city,
separated by streets and numerous dividers,
Two souls in another level of consciousness
still meet by the sea and laugh at us.
