solo part
The present, is my present.
A gift from the sun and the moon
A dowry for our celestial matrimony
so that we may see another day.
We are explorers sailing into the unknown;
our backs to the winds of fate pushing us forward towards the storm.
Like Odysseus we come close to home
only to be thrashed back out to sea,
but still we surge on time and time again.
If we listen closely we can hear the whispers
of generations before us;
urging us to continue with our perilous journey.
The past tells the future, but my future is present.

Leslie's and Krys' Father Piece: Father's Lullaby
ReplyDelete"If you don't know me by now you will never ever know me"
L: Dark cold nights as I wait outside under the stars waiting for you to let me back In. back inside the warmth I call home
K: finding the light so brilliant filling you up knocking down the pain you inflicted upon yourself onto now saturating our love into a festering wound...
L: The warmth of the blood running down my arms, as I look at the open gashes from the slashes left and right shielding me from the love-filled hatred blows with my arm...from your belt
K: leaving cells with thick bars containing remnants of compassion you've littered with syringes and those rocks fulfilling your SNAP CRACKLE AND POP high. Forcing pops to your head for Kuya to explain why your voice has no trace left of the music of your love.
L: You said "tough-love" I didn't know that love had to be that tough on my heart. Our ancestors and your blood Is what you see running down my arms staining your belt, staining my heart. My tears wash away your blood but the scars still remain reminding me evermore
K: How did we get to this point where you love disappeared under this bitternessI hear when you try to sing. It doesn't ring it doesn't resonate with the notes written across my heart, when inscribed the moment you thought of my life.
"Because of you, I find it hard to trust not only me but everyone around me, because of you, I am afraid"
L: Afraid of what you think of me now. I'm still that sweet Innocent little girl you raised up to be but now, I am strong enough to hold my ground and speak my mind. I want to be who I want to be daddy, I want to be me
K: FLASHBACK-- me, remember daddy, you were my hero, my knight protecting his princess, Riding in not on a horse but a big brown clunk called "bubba" rescuing me from a hard day of school. Bearing only arms that embraced and carried my woes. What happened to those days, I'll never know.
L: I want you to understand all the pain, suffering, hurt, disappointment and struggle you have put on my shoulders since that night. Was it because of all the past memories you had THAT THIS [SLAP] WAS THE ONLY WAY [SLAP] YOU KNEW HOW [SLAP] TO EXPRESS [SLAP] YOUR LOVE [SLAP] ON ME?
K: Only dreaming of what were once plump cheeks, dreaming of my knight who knew a life of love and not the selfish ranks of a kingdom of drugs. I'm dreaming daddy,
