Words fall to this page like leafs off a tree.
Still ask myself,
"What comes with being a born-free?"
Is it a past we never had to see?
Or
Is it the present thats as bitter as salt from the sea?
Love is not always on time but when it arrives, who can deny it? When it's in sight, who can hide it? When its lost, i pray cupid helps me find it. But why do we define such? Why do I call it "love" when it gives me so many other emotions? When im jealous, it plants hate, unease and anger inside of me Yes, a devilish act this love bestows upon me But if we genuine and honest, this love could fill up oceans Then we'll pack our hearts into suitcases and sail East, towards Cape shores, And continue our quest for soul searching. Because the absence of love is like a mannequin dressed for winter, staring at the world through windows of a clothing store, warm on the outside but always cold when you look at the eyes, the inside. So please dont turn me into a mannequin. Because where there's no love, warmth never visits. And when love comes knocking, i dont want to go looking for the nearest exit Running away from the best...
I sometimes feel like a co-pilot in my own thoughts. Floating in mid-air, Letting them take me on different trips. No handle bars to hold on to, So I always have no grip. When drowning in this pool of thought, I swore I would never take a dip. But, Here I am clinching tighter to my heart and Hoping to dear life that I never slip. Slip into a place where I lose control of my thoughts. Becoming practically incapable of making a choice. Then watch my conscience lose it's voice. I don't think there's a sadder sight than A wise man trapped in a confide space with no way to escape. When I walk in these city streets. I'm always harshly reminded that having a bed is a luxury, That these shoes could have been on someone else's feet. Then, I sit and wonder what good comes out of the lives I see living on these Pretoria streets. Did they just accept defeat? Or, Did they go where ever the wind took them like stems of wheat. ...
I think of our dreams. I think of our passion. How all these interlink with one other. How how dreams always translate with were our passion lies but one question i ask myself always....will we ever make it. Will our lives translate in such a way that our dreams become possibilty. That possibility becomes reality. The future is what we cannot predict. If only we could predict our future the way we predict the weather. When its gonna rain tomorrow, we know we need to pack an umbrella. If its gonna be hot, we know we need to apply our sun screen. Life doesn't work like weather predictions sadly. We only know of the now, tomorrow is unknown but that doesn't stop us from planning for our future. These are thoughts that cross my mind and the question that always pops up in my head....where are we going?... Well no one can answer that question so should it mean we should quit because we don't know if the sun gon shine tomorrow? Just like weather predictions they don't tel...
