The Promise

Inspired by Coldplay- Fix You

"Light's will guide you home, and ignite your bones and I will try (I promise, every time) to fix YOU."

When the world seems like the darkest place you've ever known,
When life isn't the way it's supposed to be,
When what you hoped for didn't arrive,
When you get to the wall and need a door but there is non,

I promise, every time, I'll be there.
To shine a light in the darkness,
To help you make your dreams come true,
To make sure, you get to where you need to go
And to build doors where there isn't any and to break down doors that won't open.

If it ever gets too quiet, tiredness in your heart,
An ache in your soul, time that has been lost,
Things you will never get back, no matter how hard you try.
If the promises made are now gone, broken, non-existent,
If you've filled enough cups with sorrow, looking for a break through

I promise, every single time,
When I myself am weary, when I myself need a light,
I will be there, don't ever doubt it.
To speak away the silence, re-light your fires,
Soften the ache, take away the sorrow,
Give you a promise.

The one, I know I can keep, all the time,
No matter where I am, what I am, who I am, at that moment,
I will be there to bring you home,
To fix every last piece,
I promise.

I will always try to fix you.

Dedicated To Love Part 2

(Lately, the songs, have just been coming to me,
Through my own experiences with those I love,
Through the lives of those I love.
And again, I dedicate this, to love.)

On those cold nights, after a long day,
When the lights go off and the night is still,
When you think of life, think of all you've been,
Would you give it up?
Would you try again?

Is it what you want? All you've,
Ever needed?
Is it sweet and true? Or painful and old?

And if you had a chance, just for one day,
Would you trade it all in and take a sunny day instead?
No mistakes, no worries, no tears,
No passing years, leaving you empty,
No hurt or pain, just joy and gain,
No losses, no fails.

Love never promised anyone it'd be easy,
Love didn't say you'd never have to fight for that feeling,
Love never lied, to anyone at anytime,
Love gave you a choice.

So on those cold nights, after a long day,
When the lights go out, find that stillness in your heart,
When you're thinking of all you've been,
All you've seen
Don't you dare give it up, don't you trade it in.

Try again,
I know it's more than you'd ever thought,
The load gets heavy sometimes,
But it's the road you have to walk,
Pain builds you up,
The old helps you love the new
And everything sweet and true.

And if you had the chance, just for one day,
Smile at the rain,
These mistakes stand for you to gain,
These tears will ease your pain,
The years have taught you so much
And when you're on your last hour before the lights go off
Dedicate it all to love.

COUNTRY BREEZING

It's cold outside and the day's been long,
She's so weary.

The months roll by and the time goes fast,
He's so tired.

They were lights in the dark for each others sake
But now that light is dim.

Where do they go?
Can they begin again?
What is this pain they feel when they search and find,
The light's just not there?

They go on each day just trying to find,
A glimmer of what they had.

The nights are cold, the days are long but,
There's no shelter from any storm,
Cause it's gone,
All gone.

Gone with the pain of every other heartache,
Every other mistake,
Every other turn life had to make.

It's a cold night,
She's feeling weary,
It's been a long long day,
He's so tired,
She wraps her arms, around their love,
Somewhere between today, tomorrow and yesterday,
The light will shine.
Again.

TOUCH THE MOON

Let's touch the moon tonight.
In the dark, in the stillness of the clouds,
As the stars shine bright,
Let's touch the moon light.

With our hearts, with our hands,
With our bodies, with our lives,
Let's dance by their light
And touch the moon tonight.

If it rains, if it's cloudy,
If it's cold and dreary,
Let's touch the moon with the rain in our eyes,
The cold on our hands
And the song in our hearts
Let's touch the moon tonight.

Burning bright,
Brighter than the sun tonight,
Brighter than any night,
Let's get to the moon,
It's so beautiful tonight.

It's like looking through a mirror to your soul.
That moment, when you're all alone.
When the night is still, the birds asleep,
When all you can hear is your heart beat.

I never saw it then, but I recall it now.
It was still against the raging winds of your mind,
A being unlike any you had ever seen,
It was so unreal, you never saw it,
Until now.

When you felt a million things, weighing you down.
Hurting your soul, threatening your light.
When you looked for a hand to hold,
You never saw it, until now.

There she was, by your side.
Through the night, through the day.
Through the calm, through the rage.
There she was,
Silent, peaceful, quiet creature,
Smiling and making it all disappear,
When you reached out for a hand,
It's hers you found,

Like looking through a mirror,
To your soul.

HERE, IN THIS MOMENT

As I lay myself down, I can feel the change,
Bathed in the moon light, I can feel the presence,
I let my palms open, I need this openess,
The words tumble out, one after the other,
Quickly, quietly, calmly,
In delicate whispers only for my ears.

The silent tears roll down my face,
Catch on my ears warm and gentle,
I am calm, peaceful even as I let it all out,
I am so close, so covered, almost embraced,
Here, In This Moment,
I am closest to God.

My voice rings in my ears,
I long to know what I may not,
Long to understand what I can not,
Long to solve the mysteries of this life,
To tell myself, all will be alright,
To hear it from the Lord,
Here, In This Moment.

The moon is bright,
The land is calm,
My heart once heavy,
Now light,
Here, In This Moment,
The weight that was weighing me down,
The thoughts that I felt I could not turn around,
The pain of a woman's world,
Is lifted,
Taken, Gone.

I open my eyes,
The words have stopped,
I could dance by the light of the moon,
But I know that I will never have it again,
That Moment.

I need it.

I don't want you to take it,
It's a means to an end for me,
I need it,
And if you take it,
I will be short by more than alot
And I can not have that.

I know you need it,
And any other time I would give it,
Freely, care free, here, have it!
But not today!
Not now,
When I too need it.

I don't want to be selfish,
But I have to be.
Because I need it!
You can not have it.

And if I give it,
When I am in need of it,
Will you give it back?
Will you say, here, take it!
Or will I find,
I am short by alot!

I need it,
But you can have it,
But then again,
I really need it,
Sorry,
You just can not have it.

One Tree Hill Season 6 Finale Poem.

"Take a look at yourself in the mirror,
Who do you see looking back?
Is it the person you want to be?
Or is there someone else you were meant to be? The person you fell short of?

Is someone telling you that you can't or you won't?
Because you can.

Believe that LOVE is out there.

Believe that dreams come true everyday, because they do.

Sometimes happiness doesn't come from money, or fame, or power.

Sometimes happiness comes from good friends and family and from the quiet nobility of living a good life.

Believe that dreams come true everyday, because they do.
Believe that dreams come true everyday, because they do.

So take a look in that mirror and remind yourself to be happy.

Because you deserve it, believe that.

And believe that dreams come true everyday, because they do."

From One Tree Hill Season 6 Finale.

Thought

Love is so vast, it can surprise you, just when you think you know it,
It unfolds a whole other layer!

If I could put my hands around the world, I doubt I'd even grasp it,
It's way wider than I thought,

Love is incredible. It truly is the one emotion, one living reality that just keeps growing.

Indestructible.

Where Life Could Go

Just for today, let imagaination take you there,
To that place you never saw yourself,
That place where others are, others have been and others are going,
That place you never want to be.

Where life would go.

I f you did not have the life you live,
The people you love, the people that love you.

Where would you be?
If you were dealt an unkind hand,
If the life you lived were the life you could never imagine,
If happiness was not an option,
Choices were not yours and decision, not a right,
Where would you be?

Just this moment, let imagination take you there,
Where you'd dread to be, what ever it may be,

Can you see it?

Where life could go.

Just for today,
If for this one moment,
Understand,
That that life, the one you'd hate to have,
Exists for someone else

And they live it everyday.

In silence, in pain, in screams only they can hear.

So let go of that thought,
Come back to you, now, here,
And think of all you have.

Does it make you feel better?
Knowing where you are and where you could be?
Do your dreams make you feel happy?
Does here and now make you feel...

Grateful?

You can take a look at the other grass,
Think it's much greener?
Maybe you'd like to live there?

Take a look at you and ask yourself,
"If i didn't have what I have, if I didn't know what i know
If tomorrow were to change, would I miss what I have today?"

Remember, for what life is,
There is always
Where Life Could Go.

UNIMAGINABLE

If the sun could get any brighter,you know it would.
If the moon could move much closer, you know it would.
If the mountains could rise higher, the seas roar louder,
the days go faster, the grass grow greener,
you know it would.

If for one second, nature could react to this feeling,
To this moment,
To this love,
Through this life,
you know that

The world would be an amazing unimaginable place.

TO THE SUN, not the clouds

I always thought the world was full of flowers,
Bright sun, calm oceans, gentle breezes,
It was always like a fairytale to me,
I was and still am an incurable romantic you see!


To me, love spoke through everything,
Was threatened by nothing and if I were a book,
A kids' book, Cinderella would have nothing on me!

Then I met the real world,
The one that said "no" to everything I dreamt,
The one that proved love is at times, fleeting,
The one that reminded me that goodbyes happen,
When we least expect,
The one that said "you can't" when i thought i could.

So many times, I have chosen to look to the clouds,
Their darkness reflected my moods,
Their menacing folds reflected my pain, anger, rage
So many times,
I refused to see the sun.

When it was there, right there,
Telling me "you can,
Letting me know "you will"
Breathing new life into my sails,
A guiding light,
Only and only if, I chose to look to the sun.

No one ever told me this world is full of fight,
I would have to put up a good one to match its might,
I just realised how much i have fought before,
How much I will still have to fight,
How much I am willing to fight,
So much fight!

So today, in words I never expected to read or hear,
Today, in a moment when the clouds were once again, drawing near,
I decided to choose the warm bright, burning sun.

To feel a wave of positivity wash over me,
Drench me,
Embrace me,
Direct me.

Today, for now till the end
Even when life blows towards me its clouds,
I will always and forever,
Look to the SUN.

affected 1 : Jun 9, 2007 6:48 PM

(This was written during a very defining time in my life, I found it today,after four years and could not believe I had managed to get through that moment with these words. Thanks for viewing.)

affected,
by all,
she's never felt this way before.
angered? no, not at all,
she smiles now.
moving on never seemed easier and now she breathes it in,
takes a stand and through this strength,
she sees it all so clearly.
afraid, not any more,
they might've held the cards but she's left that game.
impressive, she doesn't mind,
its for her and not for them.
alone, she's never felt more liberated
whole, she's found a new home.
in her heart, in her mind,
strong beautiful intelligent woman.
made by herself and her Maker,
not by them.
changed by herself for the better,
to smile when she knows she's facing a battle
to turn away from hate and answer with love
to face pain and kill it with understanding
to walk with her head high, what's there to hide from?
to sing with every step,
breathe in all the love and give out twice more.
she's grown!
affected, indeed, by her pain,
her struggle,
the strain,
the love,
the hate,
affected, moved, broken, growing
finally, coming into her own.
affected to be her in and out, truly without any apologies.

"Maybe love is as mysterious as God's ways"

THE ONE THING

There is no depth for you,
No wall you can not break through,
No side of me you can not see.
No side of me you can not lay your hands on.

I am free, like i have never been,
I just want this one thing,
This one uncontrollable desire,
I want so much yet so little,
I just want this one thing.

I'll take all you'll give,
I 'll do all i can, all within my reach,
And even that i can not reach,
I'll build a bridge to get to!
For just this one thing.

Not an emotion,
Not a touch,
Not a feeling,
Though i love all those so much,
Just that one thing.
Just this one thing.

I pray,
I hope,
I dream,
Wish,no, I've heard wishing doesn't work.
So i close my eyes,
Hear the silence, then hear the promise,
The laughter,
The heart, the hearts,
The voice, the words,
See the face, the hands the body,
Feel the heart, the life, the love

And i would change what i needed to for just,
This one thing.

I FOUND IT

I found it at the bottom of a long hard day,
At the end of each tear,
In the gasp of every heavy breath,
In my own ear.

I found it where I least expected,
When i never thought I had it,
When I thought I'd lost it,

I found it in my prayers,
In my arms,
In my thoughts,
In my words to myself,

I found it.

I found it in the dark tunnel,
When I looked for a light but found non,
When i listened for a voice but heard non,
When i realised, I am alone, in this place,
Alone.

I found it in the light that I had hidden so well in my soul,
In the sound of my sighs as I waited for hope,
In me, as I began to see a light I had never known,

I found it.
I found it.
I found it.

Strength was always there,
In my tears,
In my sorrow,
In my dreams,
In my hopes,
My disappointments,
My achievements or lack of,
My losses, my wins,
My dark tunnels, my lit skies,
My everydays, my tomorrows
It brought me through my past,
It's taking me through my present
It's helping me face my future,
It is mine,

I found it.

TURN AND RUN

If I chose to turn and run, from what i have had a hand in creating,
I'd be lying to myself. I'm so out of my depth,
But I'm not trapped in this situation, no
I am not imprisoned by anything, I am free
To Turn and Run.

Bu t I choose to be here, tonight, tomorrow, yesterday, today and always,
I don't want to Turn and Run,
Out the door, out the process, out of something beautifully flawed yet so perfect.

T he world never said it'd be on our side,
It never promised to make it easy,
Never promised to make it okay when it feels otherwise,
But I promised myself, time and time again,
That I would finish all that I have put my hands on,
All that my heart has created,
All that I long for, deeply, desperately, wholly, completely.

Turn and Run, was never an option,
So I plant my foot hard on this ground,
Navigating is hard when it is all new,
I refuse to Turn and Run,
I believe this journey, has just begun.

So I'm strapping on my gloves, lacing up my boots,
Putting on my armour and getting ready to brace the waves,
The waves of possible impossibilities,
Non believers, non understanding, rejection,
The waves that say, "GIVE UP!" , the tides that leave me tired,
Breathless and unmotivated,
I am willing to fight and fight with all I have,
All I am, All I ever will be, All I have, here, today, now, tomorrow
And all the tomorrows after that, I am willing to refuse
To Turn and Run.

QUOTE

The Problem with baring your depth is receiving only a surface in return.

HEALING

I choose to turn a blind eye to the wrongs of the past,
Holding on will darken my soul and I choose light,
I'd rather be shinning bright than burning bright with a darkness infinite and whole.
I choose to keep a light soul.

Sometimes we allow ourselves to remember the pain,
The way we felt, the way we hurt,
We give in and cry, scream, shout,
Hurt.

But only for a moment,
Then the healing has to continue.

You see, even before the mind knows it,
The soul feels it, and the mind begins to prepare for a Healing,
Just by the feeling, without actually knowing,
The mind prepares itself from the soul's command.

So there, you have it,
Choose a soul of light and allow it to burn bright,
Because the Healing starts way before the mind can conceive it,
Before the body can feel it, before the eyes can see it,
But never before the soul acknowledges it.

A soul of light, a life of healing.

DEDICATED TO LOVE

I find You are the sole purpose for what we all do,
What we all endure, persevere,
What we allow to go through, to do,
Who we become, who we are, were, are going to be.

I find there is nothing more painful, more hurtful,
Than letting the people you love hurt you,
The things you love leave you,
Love is painful, when it has to be.

But I also find, there is nothing more uplifting, more fulfilling,
More saving, more reassuring,
Than knowing that LOVE will see you through,
Will get you by,
Will allow you to open your eyes,
Cast the pain, the truth, the lies, the secrets, the tears aside,
Help you move on, re-create, re-start, re-build, re-grow,
But LOVE.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.

The reason for all we do,
All we are,
All we have,
All we want,

LOVE.

This is dedicated to you.

I can only show you, what is real,

Real to me.

You want an illusion, I am not an illusionist,

You want magic, I have never been a sorceress,

Nor am I the impossible,

The beginning of the future,

The start of something incredible,

An amazing once in a lifetime, happening thing.

I will never walk on water,

Fly to the moon or build castles in the air,

I can never fly without a craft,

Soar without a tide

Or touch the sky without a dream.

You wanted perfection, I am far from that.

You wanted the moon, I've never touched the stars..

You wanted the sun, all I have are it's rays,

You want the world, I only have mine,

My world,

Imperfect, imbalanced, inconclusive.

For all I have, have to give,

Is the me of today, me now, me here,

In th present, here and now.

You wanted to see me,

To hear my truth,

To get closer to me,

To feel me,

Well, this is me,

And if you ask,

There's plenty more to come

and maybe, just maybe,

That is the magic of of it all.

POSSIBILITIES

There are numerous possibilities in this life,

Some are positive, others negative.

I stared at the child sitting by the road,

Too young to care, too young to understand,

But old enough to know, this is her life,

Begging on the streets.

I thought of the many possibilities, her life could turn out to be.

A woman in the future, fully educated,

Briefcase loaded, high heels clacking,

Power and authority ringing in her stature.

A victimized woman, abused and used,

Stripped and shamed, left feeling bare.

Tears down her cheeks, pain in her heart,

A woman lost, what is her cause?

A socialite woman, glitterati and all,

Holding her head high as another lover falls,

Striding in her Gucci, drenched in Armani,

An always manicured hand and always painted on face,

"Gold digger!" they yell,

She turns and smiles, blows them a kiss,

Never once would she have dreamed, her life would be like this!

A mother of four, stretched beyond her core,

Hair flying in all directions, life in semi-balance,

A loving husband, adoring children,

A smile in her soul when she goes to bed.

I looked at the little girl,

I thought of her unknown worlds

And as the traffic light went green,

I left all her possibilities behind,

And knew her as that girl i saw by the roadside.

FACEBOOK PACT

Let's make a pact, to all those Facebook "friends",

Why put anyone on limited profile when you accept them as a "friend"?

It's simple really, just click "Ignore",

That way, they won't ever have to know!

No notifications, no "Damn, you got played!"

Flashing across the screen!

Just say "NO" and it's over yo!

So, if you want to IGNORE, but choose to ACCEPT,

Then whip out your blockades and deem them "unfit",

Not a real "friend", not "friend" enough to view your whole page,

Do yourself a favour,

CLICK IGNORE!

That's the best pact, the FACEBOOK PACT!
