Best be away now

He will come into my mind
Unaware of place or time
Floating in and out my head
Putting thoughts there that I dread
He’ll be back the day I die
Why he comes I don’t know why
It’s a blur most of that day
The last thing I heard him say
“I best be away now”
It’s a dream or so it seems
It might have been the THCs
Still I try to find meaning
In what I thought I’d felt I’d seen
Trying hard to understand
It reigns my thoughts it drives me mad
Then it strikes me with a blow
There are things I just can’t know
“I best be away now”
I keep on thinking if he’s gone
But I know well that there’s a bond
Something that just cannot break
But I wish someone would take
It frightens me that I can’t tell
If he’s divine or he’s hell
All I know the end’s the day
The last time I hear him say
“I best be away now”

Lazy day rules
Monday’s new tune
Been drifting away
Where no one’s too blame
Beautiful day make me
Beautiful dove take me
Come back again
Back to my den
Been handed the blues
Where lies all truths
Beautiful day make me
Beautiful dove take me
I don’t complain
Being so close to the flame
All I’ve got is this dream
To keep this soul awake
Don’t throw me a line
I’ll drown in this wine
You don’t have to ask
To join me in glass
Beautiful day make me
Beautiful dove take me

All in Vain

You think that it is true
That there really isn’t anyone like you
But if my dreams are the same as your stories
Maybe then you’ll understand
Why the things I do
Are all in vain
And the things I say
Are all in vain
But I’ll never doubt what is in my head
That is that we are all the same
Time has lived enough
To see that nothings ever gonna cross its path
But if you could ride along it and store it
Only then you’ll understand
Why the things I do
Are all in vain
And the things I say
Are all in vain
But I’ll never doubt what is in my head
That is that we are all the same

Story of a Poet
04:01

I’d forgotten what it felt to find another soul
who reminds of myself and all I stand for
but don't waste your words on me I know what you're like
you're the darkness behind windows that mirrors my life
Your instincts are false your curse will not stick
the stars caught you practicing all your old tricks
just be grateful this benevolent beast
won't let you steal this heart upon which to feast
It may cause you pain and me so much more
to let you inside the door to my soul
the only thing you'll find is the trust in myself
that I won't be lured into the depths of beauty's hell
Love was the answer once upon a time
till I reached that road and finally realised
that jealousy is a natural sin and those unfulfilled
will attempt to deny but betray what they feel
But how can you lose what you never had
and how can you gain without a reference in hand
so I'll feed you emotion through my intellect
for the beauty in truth is it shows real intent
The sun will no longer let the moon arise
from her long journey of truth serum and lies
for in the heart's house don't expect any reason
but shelter another with it that I do call treason
Conspirators amongst you, one spoke out first
telling me about how her quench for thirst
made me a marked man, and her a common liar
letting me think I'd fulfil her insatiable desire
She owed me no loyalty nor I forgiveness
but to be true that dat she should have made her business
accepting as fate the story of my life
tricked into believing it began when she arrived
And there we both were so close yet so far
both drunk on affection and on tap at the bar
then we kissed once and I saw tenderness
die on the lips of a random witness
That scene's been played for ever and a day
where the fool arrives humbly and then is betrayed
and falling from grace she didn't mind at all
as if a universal yin-yang law
But if you ask me what i learnt then I'll say
you'll have to pass the tests she unconsciously lays
and if you think I'm telling you my woes out of spite
well maybe that's the first thing that you've ever got right
For others tried to teach me the same
in songs, prose, books the perils of this game
and did I not learn till experience had passed
and so my duty calls to tell you at last
so you may learn too how the seduction goes
but why should you listen as if I did long ago
and no one's to blame when you fall and didn't know it
that the messenger was here disguised as a poet
