UP A CREEK By Lyn LittleBird Daughtry

Deep brown eyes precious as rare coral

Have me day dreaming and swimming solo

Against the tide and up a creek

Words vapourize i can bearly speak

 

Something in his brown eyes sends me up-stream

I lose myself in the dark, in a day dream

Where he is undoubtably mine

Oh, how the sparks in his eyes fly and shine

 

He is complicated

Neither is he black nor white, but grey

Sometimes grumpy but mostly gay

He has ambitions

And never does emotions

 

Brown eyes have me believing he’s nothing like his reputation

He is far more than just a sweet temptation

 

He is Built, dark, wise and owns no horse

Today he put on his running shoes

to save his damsel in distress

Or his life’s princess

To me, it makes no difference

 

His brown eyes take me further than mars

To where time has no mass

Where i rest my head on his smile

And he knows i need him from a mile

 

Up a creek drowning and sinking

Can you hear me curse my own thinking

Too many voices left unthrown

So many words left unspoken

 

JUST ME & YOU… By Mwape Mumba

I might have said something I shouldn’t have said

Bet I made unsure your thoughts about me in your head

 

You are an important part of this life of mine

And you do stand out from everyone, you shine

Like a miner I fell in love with that which is on the inner

 

Good looks you do have

Was attracted at 1st and still I’m

Will be for a while until like forever

But true beauty emanates forth from Deep within and you do have a gift

And so many beautiful things

 

I enjoy you, really I do

How we connect and the things you do that make me fall in love with you

You got dreams

Those that will enable you to dine with kings

I’d wanna see you achieve em’

And so many things

Doing what I can as I’d wanna be a part of em’

To you a true king

Let’s take the time together to grow

What makes you happy what makes you sad so I might know

To be that one that makes you glad and so much more

And apologize when I make you mad to just let it flow

 

There will be one or two cloudy day

But may warmth always come our way

Am not going anywhere because am here to stay

So its with this that I hope to assure you

From an earnest heart also true Take my hand and let’s keep walking just me and you…

 

THE SCREAM by Kat Blue BruisedFlower

Did I say this before,

Did I whisper,

I wonder,

Were my words unclear,

My thoughts silent?

 

Did I not mean it,

Did you not hear it,

I was so loud,

When I screamed out.

 

Yet now there is silence,

You too can hear angels,

They’re singing to calm me,

My full lips drawn back,

Eyes seeing red,

Hands clawed to scar,

And there you stand,

Unmoving,

Not retreating.

 

Bloody mirror,

I should have broken you instead,

Now my mind is mismatched shards,

Piercing my silence,

Screaming,

Screaming.
