Yesterday I drank till I was drunk
From an ocean of magic potion
That poured into me and filled me with the notion
Needed for me to be reassured
And to see once more
That these words
Bleed nothing but what we need to receive
And I will take it upon me
To repeat every one until they’re heard and believed
Learned and decreed
From out of the mouth of numerous nations
Taking heed to a new breed of conversation
Sparking a renewed vibration
A new league of occupation
Causing a global elevation
The ignoble mind can’t control or conceive the power
Within this emerging generation
Can’t see the capability behind words and their penetration
Won’t see that we wont be
Until we speak in unity and formation
You see,
We believe in this type of information
And came to hype the occasion
For the writers of a new creed and nature of persuasion
Persuading them to keep on chasing
And pursuing
To keep on keeping on
Doing what they’re doing
‘Cause we need this
We need this like flowers need the rain
We need this like oxygen needs to reach the brain
We need this like those who are shackled by their woes and need to be freed from their pain
We need this like those souls blowing aimless on the wind of life need to find an aim
We need this
‘Cause without this there’s little hope for even a glimpse of change
‘Cause without this everything would simply remain the same
And then all that was said by those gone before would have been lost and said in vain
No more shall I bear the strain
Of holding my tongue
No longer shall I hold back the emotion
No longer shall I be afraid to shout out and express with devotion
That which I deeply feel
Come take a sip of a potion that really heals
Come
Came and release and unleash those inner voices
Come and see the ocean of dreams and multiple choices
Come
Come lets us drink and get drunk together
Come let us drink and get drunk forever
From an ocean
Of magic potion.… See More

About to have Sex
We’re just about to have sex
My body part hard and erect
Hers stimulated and wet
She’s breathing heavily
Beginning to break into a sweat
I want to push it inside
But she’s not quite ready yet
She wants to savour the flavour of my sweet caress
As I massage her breast and between her legs
The bed becomes our playground of foreplay
Exploring whilst touching with nothing to say
Just deep breaths and whispers of fulfilment, joy and ecstasy
I had been yearning for so long to get with her
She too had been yearning to get with me
And learning her curves seemed to come so naturally and easily
I had dreamt of her many times before, actually
Previously we kissed
But never like this
Usually it was just on the cheek
The way friends greet when they meet
But now we’re in bed, naked beneath the sheets
I’m laying between her legs
She’s kissing my neck
And I’m caressing her breasts
So wantonly and lustfully
It’s been a long time coming
We can’t help but express in excess
No contemplating what’s next
We’re just about…
To have sex.… See More
A Taste of Death
The vampires are on the attack
They come in the form of men
And in the form of bats
Ready to drink my blood
But I ain’t giving up
The vultures are above
Circling overhead
Waiting for my weakest moment
Closest to being dead
So they can descend upon me
And eat up my flesh
I say a prayer for the best
Though the stress has got me heavily breathing
North, South, East and West
I’m surrounded by demons
Possessed beings
After my semen
Wanna’ see me die bleeding
From being skinned alive
Still I survive their attempted beating
And their lies told only so they can see my demise
They’re trying to stick a stake through my heart
Chasing me towards the graveyard
With their poison darts
And poison hearts
The hyenas just look on and laugh
As if to say, “he’s a dead man he won’t last”
I’m scared
But I won’t let fear get the better half
I’m prepared for war but I’m running fast
For this day I see conniving, malicious bitches
Turn into the witches that they really are
Petrifying
With a life full of scars
They’re on me
Haunting me like ghosts and zombies
I never did nothing wrong
But they want me gone
So anxious to see my end
I’m surrounded like Daniel in the lions den
Never again will I call you friends
You who me to my death you send
Envious, jealous women and men
Maniacs and suicidals
Wanna’ take my life on the same downward spiral
Wanna’ nail me to the cross like Christ was in the bible
Crucified
So you can continue to worship graven images and idols
You hypocrites and parasites
Whom to which my death is vital
May you behold and witness the wrath of this recital
And just as I escaped the fiery lake
And two anacondas ready to crush my bones
I’m faced with the grim reaper
And about 50 dim sleepers
I’m contemplating taking out on my own
Then at that moment
A dozen flaming arrows are thrown
I duck
And luckily I make it home
By employing all tactics
Created a decoy
And then hid in the attic
Where I met poison spiders
But the fact is
I’m just too acrobatic
Made it to the roof through the skylight
Still bleeding from being mobbed
Still pleading with God for my life
Onto the street again
On my feet again
Where I meet again
Vampires are on the attack
They come in the form of men
And in the form of bats
Ready to drink my blood
But I ain’t giving up
The vultures are above
Circling overhead
Waiting for my weakest moment
Closest to being dead
So they can descend upon me
And eat up my flesh
But despite all they have tried
And all they have said
This has only served and demonstrated as a test
For I have already died my first death
I have risen.… See More
A New Way of Thinking
It was in the park after dark I witnessed the start of the glory
A new realisation of self, the missing part of the story
A new way of thinking and a new path was before me
A new revelation and a sign sent to restore me
I was held in a trance by an electromagnetic force field
Which prepared me for all that life was about to reveal
Now I see and feel the things other men don’t feel and see
But I guess this is the way that it was supposed to be
Now close to me
The candle light burns bright as I write
It’s quiet, it’s just past midnight
And the only time things have ever felt this right
Me and the night are alike
We bring the sunlight
New days, new ways, new beginnings, new ways of doing things
Doesn’t matter when the bell rings
It’s not over until we sing
A new way of thinking
Minds are linking
This is what it’s about
We’ve got to do this now
We’ve got no choice, time is running out
Somehow we’ve got to find a way out now
Or stay here and die
But no way not I, no way, I’m alive
Look at me, I can fly way up high in the sky
I’ll survive
I was made for this, pressurised
And now with open eyes
I can see us
Like caged birds still singing, calling for something or someone else to free us
But it can’t be
Can’t we see?… See More
A Land where Minds are Free
Absent from the activities of the busy city
Off the old road
Through the forest
Over the mountains and across the sea
There’s a land where minds are free
I know ‘cause I have been
I know ‘cause I have seen
The flow of realised dreams
As fluent as rivers and streams
A place where man fails not to achieve
Where he doubts not but believes
Staying deeply rooted in his foundation as like the trees
Not blowing aimlessly on the wind like it’s leaves
And I have seen here no pain, no rain in any form
No shame, no scorn
Only peace in knowing the sun shines also on the inside
Where there is no morning, no noon and no night
Only light
And the height of success is not a point to be reached
But merely an ongoing flight or quest for man to be his best
Not a fight or plight but simply a strengthening test
And there is where I have seen man
Utilise the equations of God to the point that he knows no fear
Challenged but well balanced and well prepared
For all of life’s circumstances
Amidst life’s adversities his soul dances
He takes chances without limit
For trial and tribulation only enhance his spirit
And I know ‘cause I have seen
I know ‘cause I have been
Absent from the activities of the busy city
Off the old road
Through the forest
Over the mountains and across the sea
To a land where minds are free.… See More
