Poet Introduction
Without words life would be meaningless,without meaning life would be pointless
What i mean is....
Its not that words are not enough
I just don't have enough words to describe her,
I'm not saying she is not beautiful
But how do I describe something so divine
With words so simple and unrefined
And not risk blasphemy?
A risk I'm afraid to take
So simply put
What I'm trying to say
Is, to me she is poetry
In a world still struggling to master the alphabet
When I say she is the light of my life
Without doubt I'm referring to her smile,
Because even the sun becomes shy
And hides behind the...

I spy
I spy with my little eye, a woman,
A woman of courage, strength and wonder,
Made whole again after being torn asunder,
My mind gets to wonder,
How can she be human
If an Angel is the only image she resembles?
If age, like wine, makes her look beyond incredible?
Always upgrading her standards and values,
Hence priceless is what she has become.
I spy with my little eye a role model,
Who, without a rocket is able to touch the sky
With her elegant step you would swear she is of royal blood,
A class so high,
With her graceful...

Gladness
Each time I see you smile
I can't help but shed a tear,
Not of sadness but of joy
Joy because I know that it was never easy
That life to you was a field ever busy
Crowded with challenges that many times left you dizzy
Puzzled and each day about us you were always troubled
And your efforts often jealously argued
Life pushed you beyond breaking point
But you gathered strength always and lived just to prove a point
And kept on fighting even though we believed there was no point
Because you never gave up, today we are glad
Glad because...

S.O.S
Sitting,
Silently
Screaming
Sarcastically
Smiling
Sighing,
Signalling.

A Calling
Existing in two dimensions at once
Is the reality of every poet
We grace the world with knowledge
Beyond human comprehension
We unravel well hidden mysteries
Only to demystify them
We hold all the answers
Even to questions known to be rhetoric
Our words can restructure
Structures with no tangible form
We see what is
And understand what ought to be
Through words
We keep the balance in this world
And one word at a time
We impact change
Our mandate,
The reason why we exist
Is to clear the mist
For if not us,who will?

Confused Feelings
There comes a time
When the heart
Feels what it feels
But, to the mind
what the heart feels,
Feels like a dark thing to feel,
And you are compelled to follow the mind
And end up developing
A different feeling
Towards what you were initially feeling
And this new feeling
Feels better than the old feeling
Until you stop thinking about it.

Reasonable Treason
I call it reason
They call it treason
My kind of enlightenment
Termed a predicament
A situation that has to be contained
A virus that needs to be controlled
A cancer that needs to be observed,
Still i say,this is my season
The world needs my reason
For it is the key out of this prison.

BROKEN MIRROR
So often you get lost
In the abyss of your own misery
You create realms that harbour your share of darkness
An imaginary place
Where you exercise your demons
And forget that exercising demons
Juxtaposes owning them
And you become a demi devil,
You are so desperate to believe
To the extent that you become gullible even to plain lies
And when the going gets tough
You hide behind the camouflage of ignorance
Poor soul
It is when the mirror breaks
That you realize your mistakes
The minute you get that wake up call
A slap in the...

A STORY OF FAITH
My story
Is one of faith
From the beginning
To the end
All i ever wanted
Was to fly away with the birds- sky high
To soar the clouds and feel the breeze
As it liberates my soul
I wished to live with the swallows
And enjoy a life with no limits
Life so peaceful like that of the doves
To be able to see in to the future
Like the majestic eagle
That time,my imagination
Was as fit as a fiddle
Because i had a dream
I saw no harm in translating it to reality
So i collected dead feathers from places so filthy
And hoped...
