TO MY GIRLFRIEND
Happiness is when i look at you
Every moment we had is a wow;
What a dream come true.
I eye nothing but possibilities,
When i am sitting next to you.
Paradise is every place i went with you.
You stamped down my insecurities
When you said it was only me in your world.
Your lips are the flavors i want to taste
not only for a minute but lifetime.
You’ve made me see these colors i never caught a glimpse of
My world is beautiful when i look at the galaxy you’ve brought.
Curve your lips and mesmerize my feelings
As you entrust me with...

FOUND MISSING
Every unbreakable bond broken,
Every cherished memory destroyed,
Every stolen glance and whispered word,
Has become a treasure i hold close to my chest.
Each day feels like yesterday when i had you,
I keep searching for the missing piece of my soul that only you can complete.
The world around me seems colourless, devoid of meaning,
as I navigate through the days with an ache
that only your presence can alleviate.
You are not here with me
But i will hold onto the memories we have created,
the laughter and tears that have woven the...

MY HEART
Every breath i take
Comes with a wheezing sound,
Not that am sick
But there is a hole inside my heart
Making me weak.
I introduced myself to this better place, World Not knowing i was a fish and the air was so toxic I popped my head out to be recognized
And am grateful,
I got what i wanted; unconditional love that didn't last,
A laugh so tiny, tears,
insomnia and a hole inside my heart.
I still recall the best part was me meeting her
And
My favourite day?
Was the day she said i resemble someone she once loved. How i felt...

FIRST TIME
Our first time talk, our mouth mumbled.
Jovial you, i altered words though jumbled. Being strangers, we talked timidly.
Perfect be the day we met.
Our first time date, our eyes conferred.
Merry me, i managed to pull you closer.
Being pretenders, We uttered, "kissing is gross". Happy be the memories we forged.
Our first time kiss, our teeth collided.
jolly up, it was self taught art.
Being primitives, we did it naively.
Cheers to the catchy scenes we did.
Our first time fight, our hearts raced.

DEAR LORD
Dear Lord
Am just a toddler, Bambino
Learning to pray bear with me.
This is Sunday evening,
Empty is the room so is my heart.
Outside i hear the rain pelting, what a blessing.
Inside i see my tears pouring,
I want to tell you something;
Life without you is bitter,
Just like the taste of tears on my tongue.
I cannot forgive myself for putting you second
Yet you gave a son, your first to die for me.
The people I trusted changed with the change of seasons. They gave me love but ended up taking it back.
I called your name when...

DEAR DAD
Brothers and sisters;
Our dad,
The head of the table.
Dwells in my room every night,
He undresses me everyday
He smiles and promises to be gentle A promise that leaves me buttered inside.
Aunt,
Your brother
Calls me his solace.
He tells me to be calling him
Thomas.
He murmurs as he cry for romance when I say no, he talks about my fees. Instead my legs gaps to make him pleased.
Mom,
Please don’t slap me I'm sane!
There is something about Dad.
Yes your husband
I owe him no respect,
The pot bellied...

STRINGS OF HOPE
Steal a glance at the delicate dance of petals in the wind, Hear the soothing melodies of birdsong up high,
Feel the gentle caress of a sunbeam on your skin
As i sit next to you,my hands holding yours.
Deep down my heart, where love reside
I feel something exerting deep inside
Like ocean waves, stronger it gets
As i listen to your voice, so angelic.
Like strings on an instrument, i believe we are entwined, Melodies of affection, forever aligned.
Through every note, our souls dance and twirl,
Building a love that will forever unfurl
...

WHAT'S BEAUTIFUL?
On toe ascend your body up, look!
Raise your head up, pause!
Open your eyes wide, see!
These stars effulgent in beauty and splendour
This sun rising gently and setting in grandeur.
Glance at the moon as it disgorge a gleam that dazzle the night
And let our toddlers rattle in the dark.
What's beautiful?
Beautiful are His handcrafts,
Beautiful is you my lenitive.
Talk a blue streak
With your tender and amiable knots of words
That fragilize these bars I was caged in,
Am breaking free to hold those soft and mild hands of...

HEART VS BRAIN
I am on a race, Chasing my dreams
It is funny how my perception are being won by infatuation
What's right or wrong is an argument that will never come to an end
My vision was once fixed, not obscured but now, vision blurred.
Between knowing what is true and feeling what is real,
what matters most?
Looking at the journey i have taken
I see footprints of choices, but the path still unknown
My heart, a compass contorted, leading me to a direction so distorted
Am i missing logic or it is a foulplay of emotions?
I see my name written on a...

SERENITY FIELDS
The howling winds depicts no hurricanes
The sound of rains tapping on the stones is no noise
But a reminder that in the fields,
human silence predominates,
In the fields time stand still and troubles distill
Birds hosts with lullabies to comfort and heal
As flesh decompose, a beetles' meal.
Rest and forget! The world is cruel
The gap is undefined, the bond undescribable
Reading the epitaphs reminds how temporary life is
Holding close to the souvenirs reminds how good yesterday was
Crying for you reminds how chaotic the world can be....
The sound of rains tapping on the stones is no noise
But a reminder that in the fields,
human silence predominates,
In the fields time stand still and troubles distill
Birds hosts with lullabies to comfort and heal
As flesh decompose, a beetles' meal.
Rest and forget! The world is cruel
The gap is undefined, the bond undescribable
Reading the epitaphs reminds how temporary life is
Holding close to the souvenirs reminds how good yesterday was
Crying for you reminds how chaotic the world can be....

Apology
I owe myself an apology for not recognizing the sweetness that resides within me,
For giving it all to someone who sought only to deplete it all in me.
Am sorry myself for the thick skin, I tried too hard, searching for a wrong shoulder to lean.
In the process, I buried something in me that had not yet blossomed , a dormant seed to sprout.
I was just a saint, and they? Snakes not heavenly sent.
I said I am searching, but I was just learning.
Learning not to give up too fast, for nothing beautiful is easy getting.
