my soul mate

My soul mate is like a colorful butterfly

Love her blue dress that makes her looking fly

Her accessory shining like a sapphire

 I see you looking sexy and fresh like an uptown girl

The color of your skin so bright like hot bronze

The fluid from your kisses remind me of precious diamond

Your fine eyes like the color of the sky

The glow in your face is shield to my world

The sweet aroma of your hair with scent of cocoa butter

The sound of her voice as silk as satin

And her distant gaze like a wanting wilderness

Fulfilling her is all I ever crave

Her wandering thought drives me crazy

Across the beach she stands like a fairy

A true definition of her creator

The wave rolls and crushes at her feet

Paying homage to my goddess

The way you make love to me on the green grass

You come on me like a wild cat with a raging anger

How we sat and hold each other and watch the sun set

The depth of your heart laid bare as we share in the wonders of the world

The way you dance across the room moving like a snake

Oh my world I’ve never felt like this before

The memories of her kisses last forever

Her love making so pure and true

I’m in love with this queen

I love you my darling

To you I’ll sing my song

I’ll write you a love poem

Your beauty, your hip and your hair as my muse

Your heart ill hold, the way I hold my last egg.

Oh the apple of my eyes, your light brightens my world.

You fill me with love and make me complete;

With you my imagination runs wild

You taught me how to love and ill love you all my life.

ILL NEVER FORGET

I’ll never forget the song we sang together,

With hands held walking shoulder to shoulder,

In the dark street as it gets colder.

The lyrics soothing and making us bolder,

Helping us to seek even further,

Why we could never be put asunder.

I’ll never forget your promise,

While we were still in our twenties,

That we’ll always confront our worries,

When travails comes in its trenches,

Digging our hearts with crises,

Making perfect ending our stories.

I’ll never forget your laughter,

That cheers my soul like Santa,

Which leaves me feeling super,

In a blissful way that’s deeper,

And truly makes me softer,

On actions that’s still a wonder.

I’ll never forget your tears,

That culminates my fears,

Of absent love for years,

Without a single care,

To feel how my heart is pierced,

From your sharp witted spears.

I’ll never forget for once,

When I was truly yours,

And none to make me hurt,

From pain you hope to cure,

So I will never be burnt,

With pleasure you give for sure.

I’ll never forget the curve

Where we ended our love

On things we should have solved

By tuning off the buzz

And walking hand in glove

To salvage this pretty love.

I’ll never forget.

WHERE IS HOPE

Where is hope?

I’ve gone on a journey,

On an unending road.

Where the mood is lonely

And the path seem scary

With blurry lines, yet I go.

Where is hope? You ask again

I’ve gone to a land unknown

Where night never falls,

And today bears the mantle.

I’ve gone to a distant land

Where wisdom reigns supreme

And knowledge is royal.

Where is hope? You question still.

They will come for me, I answer.

When their body craves renewal

When their eyes seeks re-awakening.

They will search for me, I say.

When their souls thirst for light.

And their spirit yearns for a lifting,

With their mind begging for redemption.

 They shall seek me, I tell you

When their hearts seeks truth

And their being longs for healing.

They shall search for me in anguish,

When all they ever live for is me.

Where is hope? You ask again.

I am long gone. Find me.

PAUSE AND NOTICE

They took me away

I shrieked and cried, but no one cared

They slapped me, i screamed and paled

But no one saw my pain

All i asked is to be noticed.

I am regal, I am stout

Like an Iroko tree I stand,

Still you didn’t notice

I am weak and lowly

Like a lost lamb slumped,

Yet no one noticed.

I am courteous and calm

I am nice and cool

They just won’t notice

I am gay, and sunny.

Like a petal I blossom

They have chosen not to notice

I want to smile and blush

Want to rant and bang

Still they won’t notice.

So they jest and sneer

Like an angry Tiger pounce

You begged to be noticed

They torture and main you

They defile and deride you

You prayed to be noticed

They rip and wreak you

Like a furious tornado surge

Still you hoped to be noticed

You hope and yearn

A believe you sort and sieve

Like a caged bird you asked to be noticed.

They saw and unabashed

They feel no kin

Alas, no one noticed

BIG DEAL

It was not a Big Deal
Ten minutes ago
I had hormones swirl
From my head to toe
I don't know if I melted at his touch
Or his muscular frame I liked so much

It felt scripted because it was quick
Like the wonders of Moses' stick
He probably was 10 years older
That difference made me bolder
As if my whims were doused with strong drink
I lost my ability to think

I was taught A,B,C
I understood 1,2,3
But Biology class did no justice
To this body battle I now notice
My breasts had outgrown my brain
This gap set me up for shame
No one gave me a head start
For what now tears me apart

I'm female for Heaven's sake
Made when man was not awake
Perhaps to give him a pleasant surprise
Not for exploitation or lust's Prize
Very true I was not forced
Very true I was not coerced
Very true I was not caged
But very true I was under Aged

My name is 'Her' and I'm 14
Filled with wishes of what should have been
Losing my virginity was my Achilles Heel
10 minutes after, I knew it was a Big Deal

WORTHY ALLY

If i was up to something
Yes u''ll find me hunting
If i was good for nothing
Then i can't be daunting

In life I've learnt some lessons
its better to name your blessings
'cos when you meet some persons
being fast in making passes
is all you do for kisses

Yet there might be moment
when we get dependent
on people to blow our trumpet
with pride and real cool accent


while this may be expressive
of how i get defensive
with folks that may be tensive
to chill and be sensitive
so i don't get evasive

We really could be ready
to blend and give our pennies
to cause that's rich and worthy
as nice and blended allies
in ways that's cool and steady.

THE FUTURE

In d future, my past will matter

As much as I pay later

For what time I borrow now

As for broken word

I pledge a new vow

 

For lost hopes dashed

A new faith I birth

As brides conjure laughter

And widows nurse their pains

‎So will emotions fail

Where logic make gain

In path were mortals rise

The gods only plight

Will be seeing youths create

What the aged abhors

Yet as victors celebrates

Were victims sorrows

 The proud will toil‎ for pot of gold

In wasteland of penury‎ 

Where character is costly

And vileness made golden

As long as I pursue my goal

This too shall count for glory

False BEAUTY

Everyday you tear up beauty in little bits
With fancy clothes and other little things from fashion kits
Seizing the inner Beauty's pulse
With the outer one that's false
Wearing colors of the rainbow
Deceiving as I admire from my window
With enchantments that 'll soon fade away
As darkness cocoons
A sunny day

What will be of you
When your outer beauty dies
And the inner too
Is killed and filled with flies
Despondent and helpless you shall be
Filled with utmost self pity
While all those who could see
Parade inner Beauty

IN LOVING MEMORY TO A SWEET MOM

Dear Mom

I just thought I’d say

I love you and goodbye

We will miss you dearly

I promise I won’t cry

I will never forget our talks

Conversations on the phone

How happy you were to see me

How you laughed at my jokes

You worried so much about me

I know this is the hardest thing

We‘ve ever had to do

I know you’ll always be with me

Wherever I will go

No one needs to show me

I will always know

I don’t know what to do mom

I never thought I’ll Ioose you

Where l’ll go from here

I still haven’t got a clue

I hope you’ll watch over me

Be my guiding light

Giving me the strength I need

To win this endless fight

You’re my guardian angel mom

Sitting on my shoulder

Whispering your words of wisdom

To use as I get older

You’ll always remain in my heart forever

Much love to the bravest, kindest and loveliest woman ever

Rest in Peace Mom  ...we will

never forget you and

we will always love you forever...

Rest in peace with our Lord, Jesus.

Goodbye mama

Goodbye
