For a moment make my soul sing
For a moment hang on to your love
For a moment experience maximum joy
For a moment be a princess in your new dress
For a moment bring out the best in me
For a moment I want you to want me
For a moment reminisce the thrill of a first kiss
For a moment don't pretend you are good at forgiving
For a moment be not that someone who broke my heart
For a moment have faith in the middle of the madness
For a moment brighten up my day with your sweet smile
For a moment reveal the war raging inside
For a moment let the whole world feel your heartbeat
For a moment acknowledge there is a force stronger than you
For a moment love me like I was your invention
For a moment don't waste your body and soul on anyone
For a moment be sweet as cherry pie and wild as friday night
For a moment be there to wipe away my tears
For a moment help them to have some future
For a moment don't want more than you have
For a moment have a bullet proof soul

How about . . .
How about we save a few cedis each month
how about we give back what we have in excess
How about we make promises we can keep
how about we show up when we say we will
How about we express our innermost desires
how about we take this step towards our future together
How about we do what we can when we can
how about we stop living a lie just to please society
How about we dedicate a few minutes to The Most each day
how about we encourage others to extend a supporting hand
How about we ask for clarity with things that baffle us
how about we don't base our actions on just perceptions
How about we realise emotions are simply emotions
how about we stop trying to make sense of it all
How about we never let go of people we fell in love with
how about we acknowledge the birth of life in death
How about we liberate ourselves from mental incarceration
how about we realise our human tapestry is enriched by our diversity

Sometimes
Sometimes you don't realize what you've got
Until it all goes away
Sometimes you make a big mistake
Then realize the price you'll have to pay
Sometimes playing 'God' makes it all better
Knowing you will only bring hurt and pain
Sometimes you give up too soon
Cause you feel there will always be a second chance
Sometimes you've gotta just try
And learn the steps to life's sweet dance
Sometimes I just want to tell you
I want you back so bad
Sometimes I almost do tell you
Then I realize it would make everyone else mad
Sometimes I wonder why
I can't be happy with what's given to me
Sometimes I'm overwhelmed with love from another
But deep down inside I know we're really meant to be
Sometimes I begin to wonder
Just what it is I should do
Sometimes all I want
Is to be me sometimes

You are . . .
You inspire me and awaken me
and help me get through the day
You are . . . my inspiration
You are my first thought
My first breath of morning air
You are . . . my heartbeat
You are my most beautiful vision
You are in my heart
You are . . . me
You are my Ra
You complete me
You are . . . my life

Shattered
Confused,
I don't know what happened,
and I can't figure out what went wrong.
I wish I did so I could fix it.
Shattered dreams cross my mind,
and thoughts about you all the time.
Tragically our love is dying,
slowly and very painfully.
Memories confine my head.
Bitterly I face the end
As I think of how it could have been.
Trustingly I gave my heart and soul to you
And let you inside.
Now all I am left with is questions of "How?" and "Why?"
I remember falling in love,
I felt your pain and joy, your suffering and happiness.
I felt your love. I felt you.
Memories of you grip my mind.
I'm stranded here in nothingness and pain.
All I can do is think of you.
I can't seem to get you out of my head.
I lay here and everything replays in my mind.
Why can't I figure out what went wrong?
I'm holding on.
I can't accept my dreams are slowly fading.
I can't accept that my world is disappearing.
You made my world complete.
We truly fell in love and for the first time in my life
I knew what everything meant.
I miss holding you and you holding me.
I miss your touch.
I miss us.

Next Lifetime . . .
I find myself asking a lot of Whys lately
Why are dreams so distant and hardships so real
Why does love chase away friendship
Why can't people realize being honest heals hurt
Maybe its all so sudden as a result of this emotional vortex
We pretend with people who care about us
and overextend ourselves with those who don't matter
Logic replaces the beat of the heart
The need to feel loved, the essence of our being
Maybe our mortality is our worst enemy
They decipher your needs and wants with little effort
Willingly we sign away free will for money, sex and power
Doubt they had to push, mind games are only truly existent in their world
God always looks out for his own and plans seem to shatter when things reconcile
Friendships fade, status flees, power now feels so distant
Disease looms as we now try to trade wealth for laughter and the comfort of a hug
Why not give up mind games for a taste of what could have been
Unborn children, soul mates, a friend you can count on . . .
Transitory memories of a past life haunt and remind me of life's great pleasures
Damned if I do, damned if I don't. My bionic state of being guides my ship on autopilot
Lessons can't be shared as I feel no one understands this data repository
Encryptions to the nth power have no valid keys
For the best appreciation I can show to God for this Life is in the next. .

Maybe
Maybe I am not broken or damaged inside
maybe its just all in my head
Maybe I was meant for a different place in time
maybe I was meant to live someone else's life
Maybe this friendship is bound by love
maybe the pain I feel is a reminder that you will leave
Maybe my words could have made you stay
maybe honesty does our kind unjust
Maybe the fear of being trapped reveals our vulnerability
maybe our only fear is losing control
Maybe I am starting to miss you a bit more each day
maybe it might be that I am in love with you
Maybe my lips should have never touched your skin
maybe your hips wouldn't have had to carry this child
Maybe I could show you how I feel inside
maybe I hold back because you are afraid to find out
Maybe by letting go you will have nothing to gain
maybe by holding on you will bring so much pain
Maybe you don't want to know much
maybe you forgot how to trust
Maybe I will end up alone in this life
maybe I will be reminiscing what could have been

Letting Go
How do I let go of something I am yet to experience
An emotion that seems to engulf every aspect of my simple everyday thoughts. I live a lie to protect the ones I love. Is this emotion truly a measure of how great I am feeling or is it simply my fear of not wanting another great friendship to be scarred by society's perception of what LOVE is.
Whatever the situation or outcome, I would like to let you know I have found in you a soul mate, a trusted friend, a woman I can truly be myself with. I always play with the thoughts of what if. What if I could simply say I love you each time we spoke . . .
Some seem to think what we have is ephemeral given the distance and our network of friends. . . Don't know how to express my thoughts with words that would properly convey the many desires I long for when a thought of you crosses my mind.
Maybe its purely physical, maybe its not. Maybe its your meticulous nature, maybe its the distance, that makes the idea of us being together so explosive. Maybe its how you support your family, maybe its your thought process given your age. I struggle with simple maybe's so not to upset the chemistry of what we have decided to call Friendship.
So how do I let you know. . . I want you but at the same time also let you know, I would learn to let go should you find love in another. How do I knowingly let you get hurt, only to make sure love doesn't blind the reality of what true relationships are about. How then do I not push and conquer this undying presence of you in my life? The silence, the so called busy days at work, the weddings and funerals I have attended were not always real but an excuse to keep my heart caged and devoid of emotion.
Yet I still ask myself how I managed to let you slip in and get so close. You are far from perfect and that makes me know the idea of us is not just a figment of my imagination. I might continue to love you, I might give up hope and hurt you in the process, I might flirt to confirm reciprocity. . . Maybe you feel the same and well maybe its all just maybe. No matter the maybe's I am satisfied with ONE fundamental emotion. Our friendship.
I seem to always find a way of complicating simple things . . . So before I do, I want You to be You not because it makes me happier and especially not because you feel there is no one other than me who understands you the way I do. Not looking for answers anymore. I just want to let go and feel. . . So know you have a friend who will sacrifice the need to conform for a need higher than his own.

Find Your Way
I find myself here again. . .
Asking myself questions I already have answers to
Why isn't my present filled with thoughts of you
Why am I not the one expressing my affection publicly
I have tried in several ways to Let Go mentally
The occasional silence with regards to communication
Most replacements either objects or human fade rapidly
Question still remains, how did you find your way
How can a simple friendship feel so intense
Is it the lack of intimacy or the craving there of
I find myself wanting you more with each suppression attempt
Wish KEM never composed this tribute to you
Do I accept this as an emotion I can't fight?
Someone please decipher this labyrinth
I long to have your brown skin against mine
Your beads of sweat trickling all over my sheets
So I am leaving to a world where all this can be true
A world where we can express our innermost fears
A world where I can love you uninhibitedly
A world where you can find your way
