In Loving Memories Of...

by Phlyza   Oct 10, 2009


A dark cloud settled above, into the heavens entered a dove
Thunder roared, lightening striking about, a stalker above
Pain poured like heavy rains, with a blurry sight I made my move
I packed my all, and fled at dawn, my heart half full of love
My hand turned to stone from the biting cold, I'm with but 1 glove

I stumbled into a world unknown; I thought I had been re-born
I celebrated, the misery was gone, the troubled feelings mourn
Time corroded, space faded, In Abang I found no father just a con
Lost & troubled, like in chess I'm so powerless like a pawn
My asleep mother's food is what I miss, I call on Heavens with a Rams Horn

Was I seeking invisibility or camouflage, feelings ignored?
Was I seeking this path of battered souls, road signs ignored?
Was I circumventing my ripped heart of fairytales untold?
Misunderstood in the world of Abang, lost without a mother
Deprived the sweet taste of being a brother, a soul already sold

My eyes flow and flood with tears and they fall fiercer than Niagara Falls
My mind has divorced its most joyous thoughts and lingers empty Halls
My ears waste away sweet melodies of the night hoping for phone calls
My mouth scolds my tongue for words unspoken in my world, that is Mama
A world of forsaken goals, shattered dreams, broken hopes, Far Far

I left a universe where Guardian Angels stay young, and old they don't grow
And I found a place with no floor, A place called slow slow
I left a world where u can see love in the blinding dark Glow
And found a place that has a mouth but no jaw, were its sin to Bestow!
I left a place to be BOLD only to be sold for GOLD

How i miss you both as time unfolds :''( the pain z unbearable!! how i wish u were here to hold my hand then hang me tight..
