joses tirtabudi Poems

On a bright sunny day, amidst the African brush-
Playing in the sand, two tiny lion cubs.
Filled with potential, though they be yet small,
Furry balls of terror unaware of the dangers about them all.
...

5 am in the morning, on my way up north to who knows where
I wake up from my sleep to find where you live is just over there.
My hibernating heart suddenly wakes up and starts pumping
I feel the adrenalin flow, my blood starts running.
...

But even if the cold and dark does come - and I find myself alone
I promise - I'll always find my way home.
Whether it be on my knees in my time of need
Up rugged rocky hills; over long endless fields
...

He's on his calloused knees, praying man.
Praying like it was his last, cause it's all he can.
Beads of sweat rolling off his brow -
Praying man, knuckles clenched, tears tumbling down.
...

I called this number just the other day, trying to find a girl who just wouldn't go away,

And as the phone rings, with fingers crossed, I hear you say,
...

I always knew it was too good to be true,
But still I tried reaching out for you.
You made me high, you sent me mad.
You made me reach out like I had never dared.
...

You - you light up my world.

I'm stuck thinking of you all night,
...

You were high above the rest, a legend, the best.
I was just a little boy out in the wild west.
All alone, crying in the desert, a defenceless little one.
You found and picked me up, sheltered me from the sun.
...

Tis dark and lonely,
Walking here alone.
This cold stony road
I have made my own.
...

Feel rush of the wind either side as on a tiny sleek bike you ride

Feel the gasp of hurtling metal monsters lurking all around to getcha.
...
