CHALLENGE 5

Yuvaan: If nights were dark enough
Then I would scream more and laugh
And just like the evening breeze
I’d feel you with ease.
We perform best in darkness
In the deep late full of sweetness
This is where our veins combine
Reassuring me that you are mine.

Osprey: When my heart beats,
I’m tempted to say it’s fear,
But we both know better,
Because when dusk falls,
When darkness comes,
When dawn gives up,
The lights might go off,
The bolts might grow weak,
But you and I,
We stay, because you and I,
We live and breathe,
For each other.

Yuvaan: I breath in through you at dark
I feel my heart beat when I touch your palms at night
I might grow weak of standing
But what keeps me going,
Are the dark rays from your eye

Osprey: But what if the rays are lost,
If there’s nothing no more,
If the walls still up,
If we finally accept our reality,
If leaving is better than living,
Should we leave?
Should we stay?

Yuvaan: You never cease to amaze me,
Can’t you see the glow amidst you and me,
We make a perfect rainbow together
And even though it wants to rain
The sun still finds more time to shine
To shine just for us.

Osprey: But that’s why we fit,
Because you are the light,
And I’m the dark,
And in our twisted union,
In this field of hope,
In the toxicity I’ve lived,
Somehow I still find my way back

Yuvaan: Great,
My heart always finds a reason to rejoice behind your stubbornness
Your acceptance to changes are almost rigid
But with every drop of white water
Your darkness fades

Osprey: Life hurts,
Life sucks,
Life clutches,
It’s toxic,
And I’m sorry,
I’m sorry I can’t believe in us,
I’m sorry I’m tempted to run,
That I want an escape,
That everything is gone,
The will is gone,
I wanna live,
But I just wanna leave.

Yuvaan: Well,
You can leave
You can leave the old you
You can leave your worst nightmares behind
You can leave your doubts behind
You can leave the wills to leave
I dropped my search when I found you
And so I’ll never let you loose even when you try to

Osprey: Well then,
I’m stuck between appreciating and drooling,
So I’ll stay,
And will myself,
But don’t tell me to hope,
Because I don’t like hope.

Yuvaan: Look,
If you going to eldoret
Look directly at the target
We already moved steps ahead
And there’s no need of walking as if now dead
Keep the fire ablaze lovely
With each hard encounter we get the ease to continue blazing.

Lately, I’m into deep,
Lately, I’m falling irredeemably,
Lately, I can’t, I can’t get enough of her,
And by lately, I mean she has been my forever.

She is my happy ever after,
She is the feeling I long For,
She is the addiction that keeps me Sober,
She is the Flavour of my Rhyms,
See, She is the Reason I breath out
Cuz she is my Better half.

Hold me before the tears fall,
before my heart turn cold,
hold me when there’s no one else around,
When it’s hard to pretend I’m strong.

Connect us with a kiss,
Make us dive in deep,
let’s be one and accept to feel,
for this love is way too deep.

Put your hands around my waist and be free,
From my neck, down my chest,
All the way to my V…, ignite me,
Pull me close whenever I want to leave, love me.

Give us memories for a lifetime,
let kisses and hugs be our lifestyle,
Cover me from the rain and harsh sunshine,
Love me like I’m about to die.
Give me love if you don’t mind.

I yawn for the affection
With the mind filled with illusions and pre-assumption
That love is sharing the heart to be completion
I regret for deception
That left my heart in partition
For loving the wrong one truely without vision
The connection we once shared before diversion
Of everyone’s feelings
The umbilical cord of love
That joined us together like mother and foetus love
Was cut apart by our own ego
And forever different ways we’ll go
Am lacking the energy to move on alone
But I just have to go
Maybe I’ll find peace I lost long ago.

I remember that feeling whenever you held me so close,
I was so excited every part of me felt jumpy.
Oh darling , I was so high on you
I don’t recall a day I didn’t long to lay on your chest,
Or sway upon the dancefloor with you,
I remember how the world spun around me,
When you twirled me those nights,
How you showcased me to the room,
Like I was your prize.
Oh, your deep interlocking stares,
That left me hungry and wanting.
But words could never define you,
Cause darling,
I never found such a safe haven,
You were my favorite place.
Baby, you were love.

Our love blossoms like the flowers of spring.
Our heartbeat as one,
Our souls intwined,
Beautiful and blissful,
Nothing else matters but us,
The troubles the retributions,
Are nothing but a mirage.

When our lips meet, am left floating,
Soaring above the fluffy white clouds.
With nothing but you in mind,
You are everything that I dreamt,
You are the reality I sought,
You are the reason for existence.

Seasons Change,
But the reasons for my love for you is eternal.
I re-count every moment,
That I spend with you in my hands,
Every one of them vivid like it was yesterday.

A part of me, is a part of you,
Inseparable, invincible.
We are the incarnation of passion,
We are the proof of love.
I love you!

Terrie: Tell the truth,
I thought you’d always watch your words with me
Always imagined you’d love me till the end
But now, I see you’ve moved on,
Now, you wouldn’t even care.
But its OK, for I’m resolved
I’ll move on too, to the next life.

Muriuki: You’ll move on someday
But sadly you’ll never move away from me
For like a priest’s rosary
I’m ever in you chest
You’re destined to feel our heartbeats connect
I guess my dream was to be your favorite memory
Now you live everyday trying to forget me
But how do you erase a part of you??‍♂

Terrie: Darling, I wish you’d never given up on me
I wish, you’d held my hand those crazy times
I wish, you’d shown me how to hope
I wish you’d have loved me enough to change my view.
Indeed you are my favorite memory,
But you are also my worst pain.

Muriuki: I never gave up on you
Baby, you were the colors on my rainbow
But slowly you began to fade away
Differentiating indigo from blue began a difficulty
You wish I held your hand those crazy times
But wasn’t I the one who walked you down that aisle
On your make up looking like an angel
Yet I knew the kind of demons you homed inside?

I gave those demons a home
They sure enough found a hell in me
A darkness they could identify with
And they danced to a beautiful tune with my demons
So what is loving you enough
If I loved your darkness and still it wasn’t enough
I guess if my love was never enough
Then go love yourself

Terrie: Its ironic really,
Cause over the years,
You stripped me of all that was good within me
Soaked me in all your negativity
I won’t lie, I never minded that,
Cause I believed you would’ve changed
So I threw myself at you even on those days,
The days when you spit on my face
Bathed you in all any lover would have wished for
But even the devil has a better chance,
Of knowing what’s good
Cause you drowned me in all your sorrows,
Stripped down all my hope
Took away all I had to live for
I’d imagine, after all that,
You wouldn’t have any evil left in you,
So, I’ll go love myself,
Hopefully you’ll find yourself one time
Maybe I was never the one for you.
I’m sorry?

Muriuki: Bone of my borns
Rib of my ribs
I rem saying that on my vow day
But weren’t you the one who said
For richer for richer
In health and in health
In good times and good times?

So why are you sorry?
Are you sorry that your body has become shapeless and no man dares to look at you?
Sorry that you can’t cook a tasty meal apart from you boiled potatoes?
I shd be sorry for marrying a radio in my homestead
You get turned on
Every time I breathe?

Terrie: Now that’s just mean.
But either way darling,
I may have lost my shape and beauty
Might have become a nag with such a persistent pester
But I will always pride myself in my giving
Cause I gave it all, my love, my time,
My heart, and even my soul
I won’t point fingers anymore, so I’ll leave you be
Cause as ugly as you may perceive me now
I still don’t think I deserve such cruelty
Even demons learn to love,
So I know I’ll find one out there.
I may feel for them as much as I do for you
But hopefull there,
I’ll finally find love with peace.
