4 Worries
Emmanuel Davies Jul 2020
The melancholy of life
Is to be alive
The melancholy of love
Is to fall into it
The melancholy of truth
Is in what it holds within
The melancholy of death
Is to not want to die

Oh! Sorry, forgot there was a fifth
The melancholy of worries
Is that it solves nothing.
So why worry?

HOPE
Emmanuel Davies Jul 2020
Do not quit
Until you find the light
From the enclosed cave
You must escape

MUTE!
Emmanuel Davies Jul 2020
You ask me how I feel
You wish to know
What I think
I kept silent
Not because you do not deserve an answer
It's just that
I can't the find words
To express how I feel,
Phrases to express my thoughts.
Deep down I feel lost and alone
In this inhabited,
But undefined world.

what is poetry??
Emmanuel Davies Jul 2020
It's an alignment  of words
To express our thoughts
About a situation or a course
Giving our expression a form
To relate with the world
In lines and in rhymes.  

Don't know if i'm right
Am just expressing my thoughts!!

TO AND FRO
Emmanuel Davies Jul 2020
To and fro to and fro
Faster and faster
Until the world whirls by
Goes the boy on a swing
If he would only learn to take it slow
Maybe then his trousers
Would learn to fit
And the world
Would in his head cease to meet
Maybe we Africans should
Check ourselves and not blame it all
On racism
Don't hate me for saying this ok
Just felt we should know!

EMPTY PAGES
Emmanuel Davies Jul 2020
Flip the pages
What do you see?
Check the safe
Nothing about me.
Swift steep stride
Getting nowhere in life
I close my eyes
Hoping there's enough time.

CROSS
Emmanuel Davies Jul 2020
He snuck in
So quietly without sound
He stole from me
As gradually as he can
Creating in me a vacuum
I feel so empty inside
Leaving me with nothing
But sorrow and grief
How do I start anew?
The questions in my head ring.
I turned round to the cross
And found in Him I an live
In respect to all who have been robbed of their loved ones

✨STARS✨
Emmanuel Davies Jul 2020
Bright as a star be
Lonely it is within
When within miles afar
Isolate it sits in the sky
When planet🌏 in orbit greet
Solemnly he seeks a friend indeed

????
Emmanuel Davies Jul 2020
To will and to be
Are negative aligned phrases
To what we aspire to be
As been with so many cases

Lost in the abyss
Way deep down in me
I hope to find
That which defines
Who I am meant to 🐝

The One
Emmanuel Davies Jun 2020
Sometimes we've got to trust
If we're to ever find the one
Trust not wholly on the heart
For it could turn out to be a bad act
But give in slowly to time
Then maybe it would find us
Cause love is not to rush
That would be a minus
Sometime what we seek
It's just right there
When we open the inner eyes
Then we know
It actually found us

RELIANCE
Emmanuel Davies Jun 2020
I've come to learn that in life
No one is worthy of your stress
Despite the class
You shouldn't stress to impress
No matter how you try
They still wanna get you depressed

You laugh, you cry
You go out of your way
Thinking you could make em happy
But they still end up ruining your day
Hitting you blows of unhappiness
Fast, hard and steady
Till you're down and can't stand
Even for your own ordinance
It's an episode of life

The last days will
Emmanuel Davies May 2020
10am in the morning
The  clock 🕒 is ticking
When the sky cease it's mourning 👄
My heart ♥  skipped a minute


Then the harvest comes with a veil
Let the world bear witness with me
The soul is very willing
And when the Will arrives in a mail
To me will prosperity prevail.
In the last days
Are we ready?
It's a question for you and me

The Will
Emmanuel Davies May 2020
To be or not to be
Till the fields shall yield
And the vast land fill
Let it be to me
According to his will

— The End —
