Martin dreamt, so I could dream
of changing the world piece by piece.
His dream consisted of one harmonious team,
mine on the other hand, different to say the least.
Plates adorned with chicken and fish,
veal and pork, would be my fortay.
All kinds of mouth-watering dishes.
But in this dream, these people would have to pay.
My dream becomes vivid with every color,
The reds, greens, the golden browns
Things that could not be dreamt of by another
As each dish possessed its own crown
Would this dream be turned into a reality?
Or stay hidden as a mere fantasy?
Only time would tell
Only time would tell…

I Used To Love Him
I met this guy when I was 10 and something yrs old
And what I loved most, he had so much soul
He took me gently by the hand and showed me all the possibilities
Things I never dreamed, that could become my very own reality
My grandmother knew him long before I was born
Her pride and joy in his simplest form
He began to show the same love I often saw in her eyes for me
Thus I slowly began to fall, free fall into love with him
And thought if it was meant to be it would be
For years he lingered around my being
Patiently waiting for me to say yes
To say yes to all he had promised
But my hands simply could not wrap around him
In my mind I began to doubt loving was that simple
When granny died we started to drift apart
She seemed like the thread that held us together
A bond that had been forged within a silver lining
Till the day a mutual friend said
"Why don't you give him a try again?"
FOOD, for my soul was what I longed for, was destined for
Something to get me going, so eventually I conceded
Giving in to all the love he'd shown over the years
Thinking this is it, I finally found you!
Let's stay together, forever, and make something beautiful
It was beyond comfort when he was in my presence and I in his
Showing him off to people like a prize, is where I got my high
By seeing their faces light up when he was around
Made my little world seem complete and content
Some good chocolate cake; I could not get enough of him
But the reality of it all hit, the honeymoon phase was over
Before I knew it
I saw him giving his love away to others, who didn't deserve him
My love, the love he promised would be mine alone
He promised what we'd share together no one else would
But his truth was filled with...
Well... half truths
He didn't tell me it would be this hard
He never told me people would have such destructive things to say
Things that resonate deep within my being
Cutting me like the sharpest knife in my tool kit
But somehow it made me stronger, faster, smarter all the while
The feeling I get when he's not around
Is like someone holding my breath for ransom
"Pay up or suffer the consequences!"
What if I can't pay, if I can't be the best?
But then I remember that voice in my head...
My feet is my only carriage, so push on through
So here I am, waiting for things to materialize
Like Alicia said,
How many really know what love is?
You never really know until you lose it...
Well here I am sitting really knowing what love is
Because I think I'm losing it
So tell me where you are loved one
You left me for broke, like a thief in the night
Laid me bare, vulnerable, my hands often felt your burn
Yearning and longing to touch and be touched
My career
Is where I long to see your loving face again
Though I am terrified of losing what we have
I thank the Lord for the day you came into my life
For He knows
I'd love nothing on this earth more
Than the way I used to love you
And what I loved most, he had so much soul
He took me gently by the hand and showed me all the possibilities
Things I never dreamed, that could become my very own reality
My grandmother knew him long before I was born
Her pride and joy in his simplest form
He began to show the same love I often saw in her eyes for me
