My Reflection

You are my reflection

So all that i have to say must penetrate
You are my reflection

There's no other way to communicate

You are all i need to survive

You help to sustain my life

I don't know what i would do without you

because if i dont breathe,

you dont exist

if i dont call you by your name,

i've misrepresented my soul
You are my reflection

my smile in the morning

my healthy morning meal

my prayer in the afternoon

i call on you

i wake you up in me

deep deep in the sense of my being

you are indeed a reflection of me

you are my good night's rest

my full day of accomplishments

you are a constant reminder of why i'm here

you, like me, bear seeds of relief to the world

we raise good crop for the hungry souls to eat from

we, as a team, work gracefully

telling the land
you are my reflection

so here i stand with you in mind

and anytime someone smiles at me

or gives me warmth

i know that you are here

you are my sears portrait with no sitting fee

no time to rest when the world is at its knees

no time to make appointments

no time to take notice

no waiting for your name to be called

i move to the rhythm of your heartbeat
love, you are my reflection

with you i have no fear

with you there is nothing i cant bear

you are my weapon against enemies

sometimes people think im crazy

cause with you i see no boundaries

a "no limit" soldier

a woman who's bear fruit and named him after
love with you is real

i have no doubt

because everytime i speak a hint of fresh air flows out.

No Not I (from the movie ATL)

Pleasure turns to the pain
Lessons learned from the strain
Questions burned in my brain..
About whether love is humane
In its touch.
These thoughts are like salmon swimming upstream
In the tears of your deceit.
Fighting the current hurt that kills more than is created by the chaos
Of our intertwined emotions.
Chaotic because the anchor
Of Error's arrow has been plucked
Rrom the vessel of my undying infatuation
Separation not as simple as the distance between us
My mind no longer possessed by demons
That have been The overseers of my enslavement to your
Lies the seeds of these lies rooted so deeply
They have cracked the foundation of what we once shared
Allowing the faith in us i had sealed inside
To gush out like a river
Ripping the image of our future together from my thoughts
As violently and as brutally as if it were a
Child being taken from its mothers arms
I'm left surrounded in darkness
But i refuse to be swallowed by it
My loneliness like the night air
Invisible to the eye
Obvious to the touch
It is cold comfortableness
Yet if i could do it all over again
Id do it in the same skin I'm in
To lay down and let love die
Just stay down and let love lie?
No, no..not i
Id stay around and let love fly
Even though i have seen its darkest form deceit
Nothing else could taste this warm
Or feel this sweet...
