Sycamore
I wonder how the tree must feel when it loses its leaves
Does it feel like its lost itself and all of its beauty
Does it understand that there is a plan to rejuvenate and grow
Or does it struggle to see the surety, of the seasons flow.
Clouds will come and rain does fall, flowers fade away
but the trees roots they stay strong, keeping storms at bay
Its in the toughest climate, the fruit bares in winters breeze
I just have to stop a moment to see.
Sycamore, sycamore tree
I think you’re a lot like me, like me.
Standing the test of time,
flowers are so divine
but your roots, run deep.
As you grow you’ll get to know seasons ever changing
Theres a beauty in the face that nothing stays the same and
with each year you’ll find yourself because of firm foundations
You’re not stagnant but full of life, and that’s my admiration
Its in the toughest climate, the fruit bares in winters breeze
I just have to stop a moment to see.
Sycamore, sycamore tree
I think you’re a lot like me, like me.
Standing the test of time,
flowers are so divine
but your roots, run deep.
Sometimes the question rises why I’m planted on this planet,
admittedly begrudged the roots that helped me keep my balance.
But is the restriction really an affliction or should I be grateful for this mess
the intertwining of the roots that reenforce my strength.
Sometimes the question rises why my branches twist in shape,
haven’t developed perfectly but God makes no mistake.
The tree reminds me of myself, its inability to break
but break the winds that life may bring for equilibriums sake.

Like You
It took me a while to look back at my reflection and smile at what I see.
Abstract interpretations of ideal women
but I see none of them in me.
Rare occasions, appreciative but mostly self deprecating cos I thought it was skin deep.
How can that said reflection be different with emotions but I know it now I know it.
One of these days I hope,you see you for you.
Lies demised, the real you shining through.
It’s the joy within your heart, that sets you apart and it shows,
upon your face.
And it’s the joy within your soul,that tells those thoughts to go
and make way for something beautiful, someone beautiful
Like you.
.
Now when I am feelin funky, I put a record on and dancing seems to, help my mood
Fleeting feelings, fleeting feelings,
I can’t rely on all that shifting but I can rely on truth.
Intrinsically orchestrated like a perfect song
No part go you is a mistake, not one thing made wrong.
Open up your heart space, so your mind can see,
that everything is meant right there, placed so perfectly
One of these days I hope,you see you for you.
Lies demised, the real you shining through.
It’s the joy within your heart, that sets you apart and it shows,
upon your face.
And it’s the joy within your soul,that tells those thoughts to go
and make way for something beautiful, someone beautiful
Like you.
Midnight Blues
My mind is so focused on everything that I have to do
But my heart is in a different space, same little body but a different place thinking of you.
Right now I don’t even need to call you mine, I just want a little bit of your time, come and share this heavy load, let us let this tale unfold,
as we soothe our midnight blues.
Come here baby tell me all of your secrets, a promise is a promise and I know that I’ll keep it for you.
Something beautiful about your brown eyes, evoking emotions that I cannot describe
it is- true
This goes a little further than my comprehension, I don’t know if I forgot to mention
that these feelings are so strong thank you for all of these songs
as we soothe our midnight blues
Who knows what the future holds, will you have my hand to hold?
Right now I can’t help but feel so-Happy that your here
I’m just happy that your here, happy that you’re here
I’m just happy that you’re here babe
Plant Care
Don’t pick me flowers, just by me plants
Do not castrate my petals from my root plant.
I know you like me, wish I was yours-
But leave it just to admiration if you can’t handle my soil.
Get claustrophobic, when I branch out,
I need space to figure how I will reach out.
When sunlight hits me, I stretch and grow
and when I grow a little weary in my leaves it really shows.
A complex creature, am what I am
Specifications to my needs but also easy to understand.
I’ll last a lifetime, in the right spot
and for the right one that nourishes me, my needs won’t seem a lot.
For so long I’ve been hung upon
getting through the lows of life,
Taken advantage of being strong
still losing sleep at night.
Courage has been my biggest weapon
tryna counteract my fright,
But it’s a new season and I see more clearly
even the sky’ s a little more bright.
Hope deferred doth make my heart yearn
for the things that I desire,
Now I know and I much prefer to manifest a life
that’s Already Mine
Showers of blessings fall on me
my eyes are open and my heart is free,
I can finally see- myself.
Overthinkings a memory
Take it as it comes moving differently,
I can finally see,
myself
Hope deferred doth make my heart yearn
for the things that I desire,
Now I know and I much prefer to manifest a life
that’s Already Mine
Ancestors, Universe, all working for my greater good
we vibe high in my neighbourhood.
Livin’ out my dreams I used to think there was no way I could
Even when spirit used to say I should
In fact I was quite depressed,
before i learnt to manifest,
and I got friends to can attest,
But now I use my chest,
when I’m speaking on my vision,
‘Coz my words really bring thoughts in to existence,
I’ve learned to go the distance.
For fear of failiure,
I was stressin’
But i fell because I was chasin’ someone else’s blessing
As soon as I stood my purpose of progression,
On the things that were for me,
And the life I was manifestin’
Everything I want is slowly falling in line,
And i enjoy the processes as I move forward in time,
Knowing every single idea born in my mind,
Is already mine
Showers of blessings fall on me
my eyes are open and my heart is free,
I can finally see- myself.
Overthinkings a memory
Take it as it comes moving differently,
I can finally see,
myself,
Already Mine
Fear
Many reasons I have found,
not to overcome
Consequently messed around,
self belief undone.
Courage took a backseat,
in the corners of my mind.
Thoughts of failing consumed me,
but that is where I’d find
Fear’s an illusion,
Just to confuse ya,
of what is wrong and right.
Don’t let it make you,
not want to pursue
all your dreams in life.
Loss had put me in a place
where I’d always think the worst,
Now I’m learning more and more
gratefulness comes first.
Write a plan and stick to it,
take each day by day.
When you feel fear creeping in,
just be brave and say!
Fear’s an illusion,
Just to confuse ya,
of what is wrong and right.
Don’t let it make you,
not want to pursue
all your dreams in life.
It may not be easy to see
False evidence appearing real
Face your fears!
The Switch
I thought that I knew me,
Knew the desires & dreams,
the fears & intricacies that made me me.
But now there's a new me,
sprouting forth & tryna break free.
Now I know I got to re-learn how to love me
I thought once I crack this self love thing,
that the same love would last eternity,
little did I know it was a constant thing- it is a constant thing.
The way I thought that my life would go
and where I am now, has thrown me off for sure
I embrace the steady movement, of life great flow.
There is something special bout the bits you don't like
That makes you question everything the wrong & the right
Comfort zone out the door now is the time- for you to change your whole damn life.
My Love
When I was a little girl
I had painted a picture
Of what love feels like
of what it looks like.
Fairytales & red flowers,
butterflies still after years,
that's what I hoped for,
Thats what i wished for
Then you came and rearranged
my whole picture was not the same-
you changed the dynamic of my heart.
Trust and truth draw me to you
and your faith makes me feel safe.
For that reason
I give you My Love
no matter what the weather baby,
as long as you take care of me,
there is no place I'd rather be
than in your arms,
looking at the starts
Baby you are beautiful,
Together we're invincible
yes we are, we are.
I remember when I saw you,
knew that you were my forever,
kind of scared me, it was kind of crazy
I would always think the worst-
knew i had a lot to learn
you were what I hoped for
what I wish for.
Then you came and rearranged
my whole picture was not the same-
you changed the dynamic of my heart.
Trust and truth draw me to you
and your faith makes me feel safe.
For that reason
I give you My Love
no matter what the weather baby,
as long as you take care of me,
there is no place I'd rather be
than in your arms,
looking at the starts
Baby you are beautiful,
Together we're invincible
yes we are, we are.
