Give me one reason – Tracy Chapman

Loosing words

the words have been flushed down the toilet
blank pages are now available to let
alphabet ran away
my thoughts sway

Hey girl!

Hey girl,
put on my shoes
they’re no Jimmy Choo’s
walk on my path
I assure you, you’ll miss your milk bath
no diamond, no gold nor cash to be showed off
I am the diamond, I know it’ll make you cough.

Hey girl,
men say you’re stunning
they say you’re amazing
I say, you need a blessing.

Girl,
please do shut up
you start sounding like yapping little pup
you don’t live my life
stop stabbing that knife
you don’t know me well enough
stop judging, stop saying stuff.

Daddy

Daddy, daddy
why did you leave me?
that was too soon
did you go to the moon?
Daddy, daddy
come back to me
wake up from your long sleep
I miss you so much, I weep

Daddy, daddy
why did you marry that lady?
a slut that I have to call mother
couldn’t you find another?
maybe my life would have been better
won’t end up here, in the gutter.

Fate enslavement

If I was submissive to my fate
will things become easier to handle?
If I managed to get rid of those I hate
will I enjoy the dim light of that candle?

Trying very hard dancing in the rain
with thunder and lightning
couldn’t board that last train
nights are cold and frightening.

Nu Stiu

Dark
blinded dazzling city lights
alone
among loud crowds
smoky air
lost in confusion
dance with a night owl
have long conversation
over cigarettes and cold beer
Oh no!! I’m not an alco
I’m only a social drinker
it’s only that….
I socialise every day with my dopplegänger
don’t ask why
because
“I don’t know”

Crossroad

It’s began to stir
the fears, the joy, the laughter
sacrifice and slaughter
breeder and butcher
nights faded away, left a blur
some shapes have gone under the street lights
among the battles, wars and fights
a writer lost her pen
love walked out the door,left the den
no rooster, one lonely hen
it was very muddled
the thoughts were crumpled
rummaging looking for words that were long lost
devil whispered: “I’ll help you to find them with a cost.”
she did nothing but staring at her sole
“I’ll do anything for your soul”

It’s began to stir
the scent of myrrh
all that was muddled had been left the way it is
would become the question for next quiz

Another part of the world

Men come from far away lands
savouring fine beaches with white sands
exotic birds and hospitality
bliss, hidden Eden and tranquility

Walk further
dig deeper
open thy eyes wider

The place is kind only to strangers
to foreigners there’s no such dangers

Flip the coin
see real life, not a bird shakes her loin
my freedom is in a cage
society is free to have rage
my movement is being chained
I have to be someone else or I will be caned

The beauty of this land is only a dream
for some of its people it is a steady lava stream
caged my freedom, chained my movement, caned my body
for I won’t be someone who I am not, I won’t copy
once mind is opened it can be closed
it is thy mind that needs to be clothed.
