Our love was meant for the theaters
we had so much love including haters
but am not a good pretender
I fell in love with a killer
a breaker and a taker of hearts

Now am left with a Shadow
a shadow that paints
my sorrow
my aches
my void
my strained tears
Born Mar 2015
When you wake up from a sudden  dream and your heart is on your throat

When love becomes blur

When your heart is dreaded,you end up joining 'I can't breathe' support group

When you realise in life your either a predator or a prey

When you enjoy sin,like a beautiful dalliance

When light is a little further and darkness a little closer

When your words are all that you have left

Born Dec 2016
I remember when I was innocent
Life was beautiful
Everything was just perfect
I didn't think too much about things
And according to me
Nothing was there to be thought about

Then reality sunk in
It suddenly dawned on me
that I was living and illusion

Something called World War
had happened
Millions lost there lives
Humanity needed saving
From greed and sadists

One day I switched on the TV
only to see
People protesting  
Complaining about trees and papers
last week others were complaining about elephants and horns
Well today's menu is global warming

*I thought life was beautiful

Born Sep 2015
I learned my mistakes from my neighbours, you can never touch me
Back from the streets when I was young and couldn't draw a picture
always skating
just skating my days away

He ain't messing
my heart is baking
Sloppy drinking
thinking alcohol is problem solving
always on the edge, testing blade

Am jogging, am sluggish
still attached to the emotions
am fainting
detached, isolated
forgiving, forgiven
but never forgetting

am a loaded pistol
stronger than a missile
those kitty kitty ***** meow days are far gone

Blue II
Born Jul 2018
I think we are at our most vulnerable
when you assume our reality
instead of embracing it
change it
Or be daring about it

In the name of ambition
You've seen stars twinkle
in your amusement
your heart leaped

Leaped towards uncertainty
the vigorous unknown waters
that test our conviction
our supposed dreams
stuck on a loop of hope

You try
but the bumps and the commas
reminds you
that this  world is made of
Extreme unbearable ache

Born Mar 2015
you thought too much
body boiling
heart racing

So you ran,faster than ever
every time you looked back
despair was catching up

every time you  looked back 
 monsters and nightmares formed an alliance

every time you looked back
a piece of your heart fell

every time you looked back
her memories crippled you

I still love you
Born Mar 2015
After prayers and fasting, I finally got a job
Our love was great but still we needed money
So I worked more harder, when I got home you were already asleep
No taste on the food, just roasted potatoes
At some point we argued, but that's the life we wanted

To make it worse,I got a transfer to Canada
All along we fought for this life
"Patience is a virtue" that's a lie
our love trembled ,patience never made things better

I still keep calling, but you don't bother to pick up
I try to cook ,but I can't eat
am zero without you,hustle, killed us
but I want to remind you
that I still love you
when love fades

Muse 'the silent truth
Born Aug 2016
This world is a smoke, that refuses to ignite
constantly on a verger of damnation
a fate  bitter, even in thoughts 'it frightens  

Your father was once enticed in its  illusions
an aching experience
that he carries around  like his Shadow

Don't fall into traps of a fairytale
Indeed they allude the bare truth
That is forever hidden  in plain sight

if need be
Speak your truth, but quietly
with all its troubles
it is still a beautiful world

Everyday I wake up
the world is a little different
something has changed

My lover
of yesteryears
is  too boring to look at
my house feels larger
and the echoes are touting

Something's changed
so I take a bottle of beer
and Bury myself somewhere familiar

But the questions
and the exclamations
are still there

I would have travelled
across galaxies for you
buy now
your like a beautiful painting
amazing when looked at
but no idea what you mean

I didn't know I could write
words that are bitter
but sweet like honey

but still turns me into an immortal

words that break me into pieces
but i revive like a Phoenix

words that are stuck on my throat
but still scream the loudest

words that sear through skull
but mend hearts

I Keep thinking
Just one second is all I ever needed
To go back in time
and breathe the words i couldn't
I love you

There's a little empty space in my heart
I couldn't say anything
Such helplessness
but it was written all over your face
You loved me



Here I thought
Someday was gonna be that day
that one day
I always talk about
the one day that means never
You love him

I feel like
a failed suicide attempt
a walking corpse
with a soul
that clings so hard
it hurts

unlikely story
Born Mar 2016
Many years ago
a possible
love story was formed

It began like
every other story
a gaze that
stops time
and a very bad idea

Not his bad idea
hers



for some reasons
that day he was loaded
with anger
He desperately wanted to smash something

Lucky for him
a thief showed up
a girl thief
it didn't matter to him
cause he wanted to smash something
or someone in this case
He drew his sword and they danced for awhile


  
  He didn't
   believe in love
   but she said
   this is our love story
  
   He laughed so hard and said
   the kinda love story
   that I want to **** someone
   and you just show up

I miss the days when i got a comment that said that was awesome

the days when plagiarism didn't taint our papers

the days when berly dov,
the fictional real character of hello poetry
didn't dominate our thoughts
our discussions

the days when Joe challenged our might to toy with words

the days when no one was competing to hate the other

the days when "Deborah"
didn't have to write about the hate that we are so eager to embrace

the days when I didn't have to write that
Hello poetry
should rest in peace

This love doesn't make sense anymore.

Everyone seems to be in love this days,that got me thinking!!do you rely know what love.

Just because someone filled your heart with a ray of hope doesn't mean your in love...nonono,it shouldn't even mean that!you don't show gratitude by being in love.

Somebody better shade some light..coz I relly think everyone is losing it

You and your never ending streak of flaws
I don't need bad lack to cater for my existence
I don't need someone who's contagious with hopelessness

That's what they call you
they forgot your name
and the very reason for your existence

just because you've had worse days
bitter,extremely sour moments
trembling flow of thoughts
like this stanza
they judge

that's all they do
without knowing that you bleed
that you suffocate
that sometimes words
deeds
cut Dipper
than a two edged sword

When I write a poem about earth
I want you to shut the **** up and read
despite your constant bragging
that you are a feminist
a painful journey bestowed upon yourself
Which you truly can't comprehend

When I say money isn't happiness
I mean go and get it tattooed
engraved
Embedded
In your head that it ain't happiness

When I talk about love
I want you to know it can easily be broken
It is fragile like glass
and light like a feather

When I say loneliness will always creep in
know that pain and suffering is at the door
life on all levels can hauntingly disappoint us
but the marvelous grand thoughts of hope
Keep us moving

Memories, memories grinding your brain
Scorching wound opening up
A prisoner in your own body

Sigh! exhausting pain
Reminiscing on those days
When icicles is all that mattered
When we were busy
Paper chasing
Life chasing
Dream mending
Afraid of being popped
Holding on a hopeless rope
Screaming at the top of my lungs

God......
I know you got me
Am a sinner but I know you got me

Let me tell you my story
Our story
the one everyone is afraid of telling
"the after"

It's been five years since we fell in love
since we had time for us
Since we  were crazy about each other

If you asked me then
if I would catch a grenade for you
in a blink I'd say yes

but now
things are different
I love you
but I also love them

the little ******
who scream with so much passion  
you'd go insane

But I still remember you
I meant us

the flowers I got you
the ***** nurse dresses that you intoxicated me with


how amazing ballerina you were
your love for Spanish songs
and those depressing soaps that never ended

and of course
we ******* everywhere
Toilets
Table
Kitchen
on the beach
you name it

But
What about now
what happened after we got married

stories if aches
broken hearts

Humans can be cruel
am left to reminisce on the brutality
The look on  your faces
Excitment, fears and tears

Why do you invent things that will harm you
Overwhelming your brain
I've heard violence begets more of it
all alone in a world gone mad
next time I'll pull the world underneath you

You defame death
but life made you suffer
I promise you life after death
Or maybe the sun won't rise tomorrow
Life isn't fun
till you see your enemies jealous
I promise you
today death will be more painful

I'll turn you into a morgue
****** with much enthusiasim
my intentions are wicked
thoughts lethal
I've set out to conquer
very sinful, fearless secrets

how you reaped my heart and jumped on it

okey let's try this again
remember the pressure you gave me
the dramas
seeing you was traumatising
loving you was, is and will always be
the hardest thing I've ever done

so yeah
I wrote you a poem
just one poem
but I couldn't finish it
the pen rebelled
the ink stopped flowing
my hands trembled
and my heart pounded fiercely
the words were too heavy
so they remain stuck on my throat

love of my life
Born Mar 2017
I reckon the ages when the fogies
did ,that which wasn't bogey
and reasons why seasons did sizzle
a past never altered to past tense
for this is my utterance

Lost had nothing to post
just a gaze ,giring me a phrase
this is now the boat of amazement
bloated ;though it towed it lagged my bragging heart to fuse

I beckon with ease but not bliss
though to find peace but just please
jammed on.....
crumbled thoughts ,crumpled mind forth with a wrinkled ****** looks.
It was nothing special!

it took no nook,cranny not all the kin
all in all I found myself on the book

Something felt to be great ,
with the magnitude of the concocted ideas
the amazing grace 'song' just leveled to the latitude
those were the days ,no longer the same
Blame the game

Curtain drawn ,not yet certain
the pain is gone but still torn
born a new but just with some .....to cling on

I obliged to lean on a clean page
For the idea is no longer oblivious
Various scenes but not the obvious

Hate is a strong word when your surrounded by lunacy
that crippling mentality that's  been woven to entertain us
or you, who's entire existence relies on fantasy
created to suffocate your intelligence
with a programmed 'urge' that'll always be there

Goals and dreams have been replaced by dalliance
do you know the meaning of dalliance
probably not cause your brain is too confined
to notice that it has lost control of its own self
but still, reluctantly have to ask you to
Care enough to think

Learning and creativity has been distracted by entertainment
a society that is willingly slaving their way to
a chained ignorance
so yeah, before I sleep I better check my fantasies
seeking instant gratification of some kind

Do you ever wonder what keeps you in mediocrity
is it the job that you hate, which your stuck on
Is it your failed relationships
is it because you cannot desert distraction
is it your inability to be creative
or is it because you don't know what to do

The green eyes filled with craters

The life we wanted wasn't meant for us
The stars we held crushed before us
The love we chased couldn't have us
The dreams we had crippled us
The days we moaned with passion are behind us

The perfect story has been loathed
The yelling and fights has been silenced
The tears has been iced
The bright sky has been covered
The beautiful memories has been devoured

The glaciers covered the heart
The mistakes filled with dirt
The tragic stories that hurt

Choices regarding life
leaves us scavenging for existence
a carrion limping towards tomorrow
To-morrow, morrow whatever it holds
Whatever it begets

Today crept in
Sagaciously took you over
though a blessing
Sometimes
felt more  like a curse

At the pinnacle of your ignorance
you made choices
the ones with traces of uncertainty
shadowing your day
or is it nadir of life
finally taking shape

Choices
Sometimes oblique
Sometimes a painful reality
forcing us into uncertainty
and confusion
So we decide
what will be taken from us  
or benefit us
