Gratitude

I found myself not breathing 

Because of something that you said

It left me awkwardly dumbfounded 

It hit me hard right in the head

I had helped you solve a problem 

After hours of destitution 

I was happy to be of help since 

Experience had taught me the solution

But I'm not happy for my reaction

When you thanked me by sending a kiss

Because I turned avoidant and defensive

Not knowing what to make of this

It was then when you made me understand 

That I don't have to choose

When it comes to gratitude

There is absolutely nothing to loose

Then you served the truth to me

As humble as it was crude

There can be gratitude without love

But no love without gratitude

Voodoo

It was voodoo at first sight

I swear that it is true

Spells were cast and lightnings flashed

But was it me or was it you?

I felt I couldn't stand its power

I was left without a chance

My life changed in just one second 

It was voodoo at first glance 

Mesmerized I spoke to you 

But without saying a word

As we searched each others souls

Not a single word was heard

From that day we've been together 

Magic, joy, and love abound

It was voodoo at first sight 

I was lost and I was found

Gospel

Wherever you are

Whatever your feelings

Are you afraid of hearts that burn?

No matter how you use your time

Postponing plans that could create good memories

You commit an error believing you can still make it

Who ever you are

Are you afraid that the darkness has gathered

For too long time around your heart?

No matter how you look at life

You've wrongly been taught

To associate love with pain

Whom ever you have met on your journey

Whatever qualities you may have

Are you afraid of hearts that love?

No matter the languages you speak

It's the tounge of understanding and honesty

You should be able to dominate

Whatever storms you've been through

Are you afraid of your feelings

When they're dancing like flames in your body?

No matter how badly you've been let down or hurt

There is still a space in your temple

For love, trust, faith, and hope

Whatever your convictions

Are you afraid that the truth is

That you are too old, bad, or damaged? 

No matter how little time you have left

It's never too late to change

Don't be afraid to become happy

Alive Now

My chest almost exploded

As my heart was filled with joy

Receiving the highest

Of all exaltations 

My lungs received new air

As my breathes turned into light

Enabling the deepest

Of all inspirations

My mind is more clear now

The future feels much brighter

It's the happiest

Of all the sensations

My body feels more alive now

When my soul remembered what love is

And it's all because 

You answered

Living Water

There's something about water
The way it sometimes
Falls from the skies

There's something about the way
It sometimes falls
Like tears from my eyes

There's something about water
How it sometimes only is dripping a little
And how sometimes it's very still

There's something about the way
It calms my nerves and eases my pain
So much better than a pill

There's something about water
That reminds me of you
There's so many ways you both amaze

There's something about the way
Like you, it sometimes runs away from me
And sometimes, like in the deepest well, it just stays

Overview

Sometimes Destruction
Walks by my side
Trying to tempt me into abandoning
Everything I believe in

Unsorrowful is the feeling
That there is something
Deep inside of me
That always wishes my well

Feelings I find in there
So much bigger
Than myself
They grant me consolation

A kind of consolation
We forget to search for ourselves
But that can be found in particles
In the lack of overwiewness

Only our own life can be lived
And we only die our own death
Who am I
The one that lives in the sunlight

Settle

I want you
Oh, how I want you
But how can I settle for that

Once I settled
For what I really wanted
And I was given it all

It was the start of all my afflictions
Filling the hole all I wanted
Had been digging

Filling it with emptiness
Until there was no way
To continue the same life

It might be that I'm always
Longing for somewhere else
Surviving instead of thriving

But all I know is that I want you
And for only that
I will never be able to settle
