Locked away and trying to break free

Love
Come to me
Come to me like a gentle breeze
Kissing me lightly, softly
Barely above a whisper on the cheek
Like a discarded lover who once used to be

Call to me
Call to me and hear my pleas
of lost hope, of tears all dried
Hanging loosely
Like an oversized coat on an anorexic child
Drawn in by their sorrow

Sing to me gingerly with a voice
So mesmerising it will have me
weak, on my knees
Begging for forgiveness
For a crime, betrayal so long gone
It is irrelevant in this present

Make me believe in the beauty of the world
Like I once did when I was laid bare
On my mother's bosom
Coerce me to drink the milk that flows through
Our veins, our minds, our subconscious

Come to me
Call to me
Sing to me
Believe in me
But please don't lie to me

Ghetto Romance
You seem to think that everything I say to you is a conspiracy
Like a sister following up on your trail just to find some s**t
But if I don't trust in us and what we have
Then I might as well just pack my bags and fade out

Brother, when you smile I swear I see God in your eyes
You are a beautiful reflection of the love He gives to me
And I love your tones of midnight gold, brown, camomile, all beautiful mixes
I simply want to cover you with chocolate kisses

I want to love you till Black becomes the new White
Love you till the popo befriend our kind
Love you till the ghettos become paradise
And simply love you because you are a strong man

But sometimes you make me wanna break a foot in your ass
When you don't act right and start telling lies
You the reason we have black on black crimes
Sometimes, I just want to stop the fights

I no longer want to cry at night
Just fall in love with you again and again and again
Until I am lost in your paradise

Love's dream
You gave me the greatest gift
Intimacy
And now, like a butterfly, free of its cacoon
I allow myself to breath and take in the beauty of our surrondings

Candles flickering, swaying, seductively calling to me
Teasing me, gently persuading me to
Reach out and touch the sunset flames
Sending through me huge waves
Like the Tsunami on the Indian shores
Consuming me and embracing me
Sending shivers to the very core of my being

And I wonder how a single glance
Can speak of a thousand tomorrows
Of unshattered hopes and dreams
And your smile speaks of love
Yet to unfold, of kisses and caresses
Yet to be shown

And the lyrics of the song in the background
A perfect reflection of how I feel about the scene
And I know that forever will never be enough time
To show you exactly what I mean

Because this truly is
Love's dream
