Still-steel well
One a day in the past I was a well of fresh water
Once a days in the past I was vastness of life flowing gentle sweet strife
My walls ran deep tapping to the bottoms of the earth touching the living WATERS
The WATERS that came from me gave forth life to those who drank and they could live FOREVER
FOREVER did i yearn to birth and nourish life that was my ENDEAVOR
My walls clean to the bottom holding together what made you be,
I quenched the thirst of many yet when they drank they did not put thought or care to my walls
When I killed their thirsts they...

My life in one poem
It's September's tenth, 1993, a life begins, a path to sway,
Through time's vast expanse, I see all moments merged,
Eternity's tapestry, with every thread converged.
It's December 2006, I just finished junior school's hallowed halls,
With achievements' calls, But amidst the praise, a lonely heart aches,
For in the crowd, I feel my soul's mistake.
I toil on a farm, with calloused hands,
On the 4th of November's chill, 2006, with labor's demands,
The earthy scent, the sun's pale light,
Can't dispel the emptiness of night.

The dragon
Behold i march through the masses like a dragon,
Im feared and hunted, the tools of men are made sharper to ensure my demise and the fall of a dragon
I yearn to befriend these humans yet they yearn for war with the dragon
When i breath fire, they think i thirst for war with their kind, the breath of a dragon, the breath of a human
Are they not most deadliest, they that kill their own kind for greed and other six deadly sins and less
When they now unite in a form of war against a common foe
When was i declared the foe
When i spread my wings and sored the sky...

The memoirs of jack the reaper 1
It's the year 1305,late nights at work keep me company. As a vet i have found a new hobby of dissecting animals trying to understand their anatomy, this i do as the hours pass by and thoughts of my dead wife hinder me from going home. In all my life times this one seems hardest, loneliness creeps at my door steps and only my knife under these animals can keep it away. You can only keep an animal at bay too long, monotony in these animals anatomy has created boredom and curiosity of other things apart from animals. One night as I am going home i find one a burger dying in the streets of a stab...

Moth
I woke up in a bed full of decisions
Bad decisions
Exploring nature's gifts to men but half the gifts exploiting the men
The cost of them
Sunshine through my blinds the burden of being awake
The curse of being woke
No gift is for free
My ancestors fighting the foreign man so we could be free and oppress each other

Crossroads
The years pass us by, the time flies past us day and day by and bye
But a certain point in time, time passes through us and the years crush through us
In that moment we are alive but we die
And inside we try to live but we cry and cry
I'm at the crossroads I want to get through this time and live far
I try to ignore moments and whilist I make love to the bar,
The bar she gives me liquor and ganja so my mind can wonder
But when I'm sober I can't help but wonder
how I can make it through but should I bother
Or am I lost forever
Stuck on...

Love and reason
I don't love you for a reason for a reason is like a season,
If I loved you for the sweet sun of spring
the flowers it brings, the settlenes of nature that be,
Then when the cold winds of winter come i will be inclined to leave and seek shelter elsewhere and when your flowers fall I will run to another.
I don't love you for a reason,do not frail my love for I love you but I can't pin point the reason,
For if I have a reason and a reason is beauty but beauty is like a fountain that flows and is captivating,
But a fountain can not maintain for like beauty...

Suicidal verses
The voices in my head scream like Salem witches burning
A witch trial is in my head I'm assuming
I'm innocent, the voices holding me accountable for the pain I put me through
Tough and crude uncivilized like the croods
The voices in my head are awake like ghosts in a graveyard during the second coming of Jesus
The other voice is an atheists struggling to find religion in a world where the religious are suffering
I want to lock the voice in pandora's box where I keep all the other deeds that I'm ashamed of
Off that gorrila mindset that jungle...

Free fall
I remember the night at bar tinkerbell
She slapped me twice I ain't never seen a woman wreak havoc and hell
Arrows shot straight to the heart she didn't miss she must have been dating William tale
I got a tale to tell I posted it in your mail
I'm never open usually closed as a veil
Im a poet I hope you can tell
I grieve through the ink my mouth is the holy grail
And each word I say may to take you to heaven and put you in a love shell
I don't want to fail
You left me frail
I hurt you so many times the same I made you happy you could flip a...

The magi
Upon mount hermon a sacred sermon of the magi plotting crafting spells only men can think of in whispers
Slippers made of mammoth skin cut with their ivory were found on the feet of the magi
Their cloth was made of the skin of the damned
Their books made from skin of their enemies crafted with bones of toddlers and written with blood of the women they rapped and tortured
I found myself amongst these wretched creatures seeking a wish
A wish to be with you
Time hasn't been kind but a bully with huge canines plugged into my soul ripping it apart ever since we...

Counting sands with sun
One day on a hot afternoon, the sun stood high up at its apex and I stood high in the middle of the desert counting sands and every sand on and under every rock,
The sun asked if it wasn't hot enough for me to hide under a rock,
it asked why I was torturing myself I began to explain as I sat on a rock,
I find myself counting sands, each grain with a meaning for each grain and all the grains represent my feelings for you the rock laughed
One by one as I count the grains the first one signified the way your lips fold back when u smile, bending into a perfect eclipse at...

Me and the sun and the universe
I love you like the sun loves the universe always shining on it
I want to be around you as the planets revolve around the sun all year round
I don't want to share u as the planets share the sun
My love for you isn't seasonal as the seasons come when the planets revolve around the sun
I promise I will never leave u as the sun leaves the planets at night
I promise when your attitude acts like the ozone layer and tries to block my love from u as it blocks the sun I will penetrate through
You pull me towards you as the sun's gravity pulls the planet and keeps...
