Gone with the Wind

by Bénne

Never push the one you love and make the wind carry her away

You can only be a fool to be handing a rare diamond to an animal

The sad empty feeling you’ll cause upon your soul on this day

Will creep into your heart when the wind blows out the candle

With your bare hands and before your eyes you abused her

What there had stopped you? You threw your love to the wind

From your mouth you were rude and with it you accused her

What kind words had stopped you? You threw your heart to the wind

And when her spirit cried and bled you showed her no care

Your compassion was now blind. You forgot love was there

You evicted her from your heart paved way for hatred to reside in

You never spoke peace when things had inadvertently gone wrong

But pride in you showed no hesitant to have her forever gone

With her little strength ever waning she still proved she loved you

But you gave her away to the wind and created emptiness in your heart

Now you stand on mountains searching for the wind that took her

Vain is your search for the wind did not drop her on mountain top

Beneath you in the valley among fields of chrysanthemums, the wind laid her

Living Arms

by Bénne

I sit by the street and watch the living walk pass

Their eyes saw nothing more than an invisible arm

“Sir anything you can share with me, please?” I cried out

Playing his favourite music in his ears, I cried no more

The sun scorches and soon appeared patches of dry lands

I smiled as I look up and saw the sun appeared in the sky again

Then down where wishes are conceived, I wish to be a living

One who sorrows creates no darkness in his mind and world

I birth the wish to walk on my feet and be seen a living being

But all day I sit till my life weakens from hunger and slowly, I curl

Then when my voice could no longer make a sound to the living,

My begging arms emerge in his sight but he saw no life

When Words Hurt

 By Bénne

Though you’ve never hurt me before
You come close to causing my heart to sore
And though, it may have began without your intention
There are certain words I beg you never to mention

Never hurt me with words that cuts like daggers
To bleed in the heart inflicts great sadness
I love you more than pain can impose on a man
But your impudence seeps into my body and mind

It stiffens my very being and weakens my only soul
Paralysing the joy I gain from loving you alone
When words of love has done nothing but failed
Joy in a bright sunny day turns all but pale
