Rose
I walk the street
Of the town labelled "Iroko hill"
I found this tree beautifully lined
The seeds and fruits dully aligned
Like a burning smile
On a sunny sky
The branch and leaves
Looks gorgeously green
Like a flowery beam
A sirius; it seems
The trunk and branch; tall and inclined
The flower glows
I wish she was mine
But I got the answer No
I picked a seed from a bosom branch
To give me hope
I plant this seed into the ground
I hope it grows
That after some years; if I'm still around
It'd yield a...

WILL YOU BE READY TO RECIEVE
When love calls will you answer the call or will you stay behind the walls that you now call your home, a prison keeping out the outside world due to your heart being broken all because you trusted it to the wrong someone, who had other things upon there mind like to use you and abuse your heart and soul along with your mind.
When love...
When love...

Runaways
To spare your self
the pain
of caring
you must share your life
with the ghosts
from your painful
past
where your bones
still lay
fractured and screaming
while you aimlessly
wander around
this concrete jungle
of a broken life
some times resting
renting
the only thing you have
for the price
of dumbing down
numbing
ignoring
the feelings
that cry
for a little pride
in this life
that you despise
in a world
that doesn't care
why you hide
the pain
of caring
you must share your life
with the ghosts
from your painful
past
where your bones
still lay
fractured and screaming
while you aimlessly
wander around
this concrete jungle
of a broken life
some times resting
renting
the only thing you have
for the price
of dumbing down
numbing
ignoring
the feelings
that cry
for a little pride
in this life
that you despise
in a world
that doesn't care
why you hide

Distant
Distant
Distant from others
Distant from myself
Alienated
Like I’m no longer me
I’m just in this body
This body that’s not mine
Walking, eating, working, sleeping
The same cycle over and over
I’m at a standstill... you know?
I’m not currently living
Just... surviving
Distant from others
Distant from myself
Alienated
Like I’m no longer me
I’m just in this body
This body that’s not mine
Walking, eating, working, sleeping
The same cycle over and over
I’m at a standstill... you know?
I’m not currently living
Just... surviving

Hour Glass
Brick by brick
I feel something shift inside of me, inside of me
Said I quit, I'll give up on this
With every piece, you getting into me
Didn't see it coming I was caught off guard
Now I'm running right into your arms,
I felt warm & hearted when i was with you,
I thought it was so good to be true,
I kept wrapping my arms around you trying to get through,
But you didn't want to instead all i have is your scars,
Now when i look back then i should have stopped myself,
You stopped me from giving up,
You made me to...

A place on the mantlepiece
The gap behind the clock
once kept pool coupons
that changed dreams into
lottery tickets when Albert
left his wife, sloped off
with forty years of her life.
They had a son John who
bit his lip for far too long
hated his mum for what
he thought she’d done
the reason dad was gone,
he packed, never came back.
And so her routine went by,
tablets to ease and sometimes
to cry, work, shop, eat, work,
sleeps alone and cannot flirt
a once meek wife lost in...

Audacity
I wished
To erase
The persistence and pain
Of memory
But vacant
Were the chambers
Of my pistol
And bed
Though wine
I wished to flow
From my chalice
And head
I succumbed
To the paralyzing
Venom of being
Instead
The ocean
And moon
For me lost
Their gleaming
As the mad
Spinning
Of this world
Drained of meaning
And the reasons
To keep on
Softly evaporated
Into haze
Am I, Myself
Reason enough
Or is it...
To erase
The persistence and pain
Of memory
But vacant
Were the chambers
Of my pistol
And bed
Though wine
I wished to flow
From my chalice
And head
I succumbed
To the paralyzing
Venom of being
Instead
The ocean
And moon
For me lost
Their gleaming
As the mad
Spinning
Of this world
Drained of meaning
And the reasons
To keep on
Softly evaporated
Into haze
Am I, Myself
Reason enough

Slowly Dying
Frozen heart
Transformation commanded
Devotion challenged
Passion demanded
Behavior erratic
Trouble maker
Memory fails
Doubt creator
Endless lies
Phone monitored
Friends selected
Multiple Rules
Mind Games
Lacks ability
Keys vanish
Constant anguish
Disempowered
Restless
Scared
Alone
Bitter disappointment
Confused mind
Nerves frying
Silently, I’m dying.

Abandoned profiles
Accounts silent - long abandoned
the words bankrupt
vacant fronts of creativity
washed over; hallow; run down.
Verbs sway on rusted hinges
the strains of old poems
cross pages like tumbleweeds.
Profiles shuttered - desolate
unopened for years, collect dust
while messages to forgotten friends
go unanswered
Pinned to a page
like wanted posters
the words bankrupt
vacant fronts of creativity
washed over; hallow; run down.
Verbs sway on rusted hinges
the strains of old poems
cross pages like tumbleweeds.
Profiles shuttered - desolate
unopened for years, collect dust
while messages to forgotten friends
go unanswered
Pinned to a page

Soft touch
Oh, the touch of your hand
When you're helping me stand
I have to hold back my heart
I couldn't stand you tearing me apart
Your lips on my neck, whispers against skin
Could I risk it all again? What am I in?
How did I get back here?
I'm so afraid my dear...
When your skin touches mine
My brain frazzles and where's the line
I dance on between loving you
And protecting what little is left of me, it's true
When you're helping me stand
I have to hold back my heart
I couldn't stand you tearing me apart
Your lips on my neck, whispers against skin
Could I risk it all again? What am I in?
How did I get back here?
I'm so afraid my dear...
When your skin touches mine
My brain frazzles and where's the line
I dance on between loving you
And protecting what little is left of me, it's true

What I lost....
I lose something everyday
except the pain,
The endless pain that I got
when we two parted.
I lost my name and place
where you meant to live,
my heart,
The broken heart that aggrieved.
I lost the consensus that
people used to grant me,
And the courage
that gave me relief.
I lost my hopes in dark,
the only hopes
That illuminated my soul
towards your path.
I lost those secrets
The only memories of past,
and my mind cut its wings
that I can't seize them again.

HURT AND PAIN
These days I guess I don't deserve to live
I felt disheartening
Hard to live; happily
Hurt and pain is all I could feel
Work ain't going fine
Life?; "not treating right"
Everyone telling me how bad I be
Trashing me
Battering
When parent blasphemy
Like I don't deserve to be
In this fa-mily
Friends don't wanna hang with me
On their Nike clique
Coz my dressing style is seeing
As lowlify thing
Girlfriend telling me
What a non-caring freak I be
For I'm just heartlessly being
Like a robot machine ...
