i think inspiration comes in various forms. it is like quicksilver, never knowing when it will hit but when you find it a certain preciousness overides all that you are and a flurry of movement becomes you.
i may be late on the music scene but before having my afternoon nap i chanced upon this song by Chris Brown, "Superhuman". There must be something to be said about the words of these song. i found myself as Chris a few months back. headed for a downward spiral that was characterized by insecurity and doubt. was someone like me ever going to be loved? was i even worth loving? and by chance i found someone who has come to love me.
many people, transcending centuries, can profess to this kind of love or at least having felt it once. Shakespeare, the poetic tandem of Elizabeth and Robert Browning, Mr. and Mrs. Claus, my parents even. and for me to finally realize what they have been living is a gift. rarely can someone of my meagre age and experience know what it would feel like to be hit so squarely by cupid's bow. to know that when you gaze in the eyes of someone who you love, and loves you back, the reciprocity can power nations. to know that when your hands meet, two halves are made into a whole. to experience an electrifying tingle when your lips touch, and an underlying current when you hug. to know that 50 years from now, or even longer, the love that has just begun would become a flower so big that its petals have bloomed to such undescribable splendor.
a love, that is both eros and agape, can make you feel divine. a love that is so great, given by someone greater, can make you feel super human.
Weak
I have been crying and crying for weeks
How'd I survive when I can barely speak
Barely eat, On my knees
But that's the moment u came to me
I don't know what your love has done to me
Think I'm invincible
I see through the me I used to be
You changed my whole life
Don't know what your doing to me with your love
I'm feeling all super human, you did that to me
A super human heart beats in me
Nothing can stop me here with you
Super human (I feel so superhuman X2)
Super human
Strong
Since I've been flying and righting the wrongs
Feels almost like I've had it all along
And I can see tomorrow
Where every problem is gone because
I flew everywhere with love inside of me
It's unbelievable to see how love can set me free
You changed my whole life
Don't know what your doing to me with your love
I'm feeling all super human, you did that to me
A super human heart beats in me
Nothing can stop me here with you
Super human (I feel so superhuman X2)
Super human
It's not a bird, not a plane
It's my heart and it's going, gone away
My only weakness is you
Only reason is you
Every minute with you
I can feel like I can do anything
Going going, I'm gone away in love
You changed my whole life
Don't know what your doing to me with your love
I'm feeling all super human, you did that to me
A super human heart beats in me
Nothing can stop me here with you
Super human
