The Faded Canvas

Unearth,
Unlock,
Unstrap,
Unbind,
Unyoke,
Unzip,
Untie,
and unbutton yourself from anything that bottons you,
then ties u,
then zips you,
then yokes you,
then binds you
then straps you,
then locks you,
and buries you under the earth.
You where not meant to be discovered or to be realised
to be recovered or to be synthesized
to be uncovered or to be fantasized
You where always more than what they could find
You where meant to be likened unto a painting
artfully drawn on the faded canvas of life,
scratched to be revealed as a ragged fault,
and wiped to be beheld as a wondrous masterpiece.
You are too much of a giant to be ignored,
too much of a champion to loose,
too much of a legend to be forgotten....
and too much of YOU to be THEM!!

I'm Mind-Hearted

I am mind-hearted my mind has a jury and its laws are enforcing.
if my heart denies my mind, my mind minds its own business.
for the business of my mind is to set my heart free.

As times became rough my heart was cold-hearted
But my mind grew stronger when my heart was hardened
It has been my hearts will for my mind to be heartened
yet my mind denied this in the times departed

my mind is anabolic, it builds when my heart is useless
My mind becomes a heart when my heart is heartless,
The heart beat of a mind is in the speed of of its thoughts
It never skips a beat like hearts do in arterial clots

My thoughts are relevant, just like kisses can heart-melt
when my mind has lost thought, the condolence is heart-felt
I wont lie, hearts and minds are not sweethearts
I'd be dragging Sahara to where the beautiful sea starts

If a heart throbs then you know its a heart-ache
If a head throbs then you know its a head-ache
when my mind suffers a head-ache it takes Aspirin to kill it
But when my heart suffers a heart-ache only time will heal it

If I was asked to choose between a heart and a mind
I'd still use my mind to answer the question in mind
My mind thinks straight, with an upside-down turn
yet my heart will loose beat and develop a heart-burn

A heart deceives, it never falls when its faint-hearted
A heart can be soft even when its stonehearted
you can not see a heart even when its open-hearted
You can not weigh a heart even when its heavy-hearted

I'm mind-hearted
My mind has eyes and its eyes can see
I'm mind-hearted
The business of my mind is to set my heart free!!

Romans 12:2

Fallen

The thought of you creates an ambiance around me.

It clearly summons your very presence.

Though conspicuously an illusion, my imagination defeats reality

and am once more lost in this wonderland.

Blossoming in my arms, your petals softly sojourn.

As fragile as snowflakes yet you make me so strong.

Will i find rest in th presence of thorns?

or shall I dance to the beat of tuneless songs?

I rily dont care of those rights and wrongs

coz all i need is to be yours, tooth and nail, flesh and bones.

Sapphire eyes, on a silky skin.

The longest locks cover your head

Yes! You are full of fragrance, your breath calls the bees.

Your strawberry lips, they whisper me back to life.

Yes! Your face is so enchantingly divine..and so now am falling.

NO!! I'VE ACTUALLY FALLEN!!
