The cold walk
Born Sep 2013
a trip down to the memory lane.,
a must not be place,
but the maze and the reasons leave my heart pounding ,
what am i missing!
Why these obsessions.

Maybe am looking for comfort
a  reason to like,
or i just wanna feel better,
was i wrong or right!

Am i inflicting this on,
the confusion,the pain,
why puzzle my heart with this pain!

Am bleeding,screaming,
trying to race away from this torment..!
But sometimes you have to go back to move forwad.

This is a walk on flames,
it hurts! A tragic truth,
each step is a relief and a peek at the future

Whispers
Born Jul 2015
I am just a young man
who is dark
like the Graves upon my path

Don't uphold my name
unless I've earned it

I've been cruel and murderous
the darkness made me more violent
a man with no soul
no conscious

I just can't
Born Dec 2015
You told your lie
Often enough
that you believed it
to be the truth

But I can't have that
I can't have any of that

I can't have desolation
Sorrow
Pain
and tots of regrets

Born Oct 2017
He can feel your pulse
beating with life
Your warm smile
your enviable dimples

She  can feel your love
Your sense of adventure
Your unwritten tales

He can feel your heart
Your love
transcending through all galaxies

She can feel your ache
coursing through her body
your innocence taken
your dreams shuttered

He could feel your pulse fading
her heart cluttered
his tears frozen
Dedicated to the 59

Politicians
Born Jan 2021
We love to hate them
Politicians who engrave love into our hearts
By promising us promises that we love to be promised

He said, it ain't my fault that am rich
Because your ignorant

He said, your poor
And you love stories about being rich
And am rich
And I have stories for poor, about being rich

Mediocre
So you used to go school get yourself educated
Information is all that matters, but too late for you.
You'd rather be home and watch movies and ****
Impressing nobody,Vibin, old school and ****
Untill one day you wake up, your life wasted
Bulding companies that you'll never own and ****.
You realize your just a laborer in this chain of life
And your the right guy for promises and ****

Evolution
I like poems that rhyme
A symphony, the ultimate beauty of ryme scheme
Like a sad pathetic story, that suddenly made it
A perfect song that touches the soul, and the  lyrics,
Blend with your everything
From your failing ralations and weight of the universe
Choking your existence
........ And the lyrics, blend with your everything
Except the reality that your probably stuck in a maze,
And humans are always depsrate to be lead.
So we selected an enticing promise and we collectively
Elect it
And we feel happy
And We toast to our independence, or evolution or whatever you call this type of ****

Born Apr 2016
She did not die, slowly but surely the wound healed and soon there was only a scab and even that fell in time leaving only a scar - for there always must be something on memory, a little disharmony, a barely visible break from the continuity of the weave of life

echoes°
Born Apr 2015
echoes of the days long gone
reminiscing, reminiscing
memories is all you have
before memories is all I had

at 7 I was just a young toddler who enjoyed climbing trees and taking risks

at 15 the world felt more real ,my innocence taken,now am more cautious

at 20 I enjoy studying and hopes to be a doctor are still fresh
but am forced into love, just blinked and am a wife and a mother

here I am crying ,trying to stitch up this broken heart at 27.
Love is not bad but falling in love is horrible,a thought I pondered upon

here i am
Just turned 80
seen enough evil and nasty
experienced love and wonders of this planet
years are lessons
that I tell you

Mercy
Born Jul 2014
Soo many lies, still seeking forgiveness
Feeling like am already mad,so I found companionship in fatigue and loneliness

Hoping for  redemption from my dismay,don't judge me-
I done that pillars  ago

Today  i attend my funeral, didn't see myself crying
I only saw a river of dark  cloud  forming over,this is what i created

This is why I left
This is why I never looked back
This is why even in death i never found peace

Don't cry  for this heart
a coal like this,needs no water to shade for it
hatred will never be enough,am still searching

Searching for the perfect demise while praying for mercy.

refuse to be broken
refuse to be shaken
refuse to just exist and start living

those days V
Born Aug 2017
The smile that suffers
The void that felt heavier
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

When am gone
Born Sep 2017
I am Born
For whatever reasons Born seemed to be the most appropriate name
Camouflage or not, I don't know
But
Don't  bother asking  where am from
cause earth is round and we are all on it
With different stories
heavenly or earthly, it is what it is


When am gone
I want you to remember me as a friend
a friend who opened up to you
Good  evil, bad or worse
I am a friend who found peace in poetry

when am gone
I want you to say that
He liked to call his poems pieces
Pieces symbolized that it could mean anything
It could be
a piece of art
a Piece of love
a Piece of ache
Or a Piece of life  


When am gone
My words and my heart will be Stapled here

I just like you

Love
love is a long story
stories if aches
broken hearts
and trusts  

Stories that am afraid of

It's Me and You
Born Nov 2014
This is gonna sound like more pain
but if you don't like me drink some propane
go write about it

I don't take drugs but only a morphine
trying to runaway from more pain
blessing on top of sins
In your heart I rest in pieces

They just don't get it
In your thoughts I sweat blood
a very torn heart!
Ohh!
I ran into my old flame
***** you broke my heart
but there's no more pain

Its a cold world
You could be my lighter
and we'll all burst into flames

Me and you
Could ride on this road called desire
but I don't want no more old flames
I don't wanna get burned
no more pains!

Choices
Born Jul 2018
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

If pandemic was a poem
Born May 2020
Then I'll be stuck in the epicenter
Of a very catastrophic outbreak

I'll be exposed
Maimed
and wonder if technology
Is the cause or savior of my fate

I won't listen
and settle on a very reasonable ignorance

I'll cling to God
Like we always do
And wonder if I'll go back when this is over

I'll blame everyone but myself
Rant and explore probabilities

I'll do what we do best
I'll be human

crossroads '3poem'
Born Jul 2014
Dreams can change,but let the spark lead your life
Always bringing  me back on my feet with just a smile
I find the little spark I once
had
Though I lost it through the stormy times
I lost the stolen and genuine parts of me

i’ve taken bits and fragments
when no one was looking
Still looking longer  and deeper
I've stepped into the light of my dark peril
I need not to divulge on lavish evil

Much is that strong desire,many aspire

.

That spark is all I need to follow my dream

So the hopes

I left them on the pillow

love is an illusion

So at lest
let me be somebody
instead of a nobody
that all you crave for



I've been humble
courageous

Resolutions
Born Mar 2015
The period for getting fat is over, about to be replaced by resolutions, dissolutions and delusions. People will resolve to lose weight, the resolution will work for the first five weeks of the year,otherwise known as January,until the smell of fries entice them to a fast food joint and they will momentarily, or forever forget their resolution,which will dissolve. Their fast lives will take them back to the delusive idea that a little indulgence is not that harmful -well until next January

Born Mar 2015
Why is it that she's the one who's up all night waiting

waiting for you to come home
with your vogue words
with your whisked head
with your shameless deeds

why is she waiting in the dark
a very cold bruising night
for long and tortures hours
each hour full of worrying thoughts
thoughts that cut dipper than a two edged sword

Why is she waiting eagerly to be hurt
to be stabbed
to be disappointed
to be depressed
to be degraded
to be dejected again
why cry him a river

why are you up all night waiting?

Truth behind bars
Born Oct 2017
It is the truth that matters,
my truth or your truth settles it
but a well constructed lie is better than the truth,
it's been woven and embedded in our heads like a tumor seeking prosperity,
or let's just say propaganda motivates people.
Yet here we are all screaming for it.
I am certainly worn out,
clearly struggling to live in such a dichotomous world.
But, let's take a moment to resurrect something valuable.
CARE .
Care enough to think.

I just don't get it
Born Apr 2018
the logic of pain and love
You poured your soul
And Whatever's left of your heart
and they told you its a beautiful poem
An amazing stunning write

But  Is it truly beautiful
when your heart was left fumbling  on the floor
When dreams grew stale
When you were shaken, tasted beyond scope
When you had to speak, shout, write against tyrants
When you were at your lowest and you just had to mumble some words

I just don't see the beauty in being shredded
I just can't fathom the weight of an ailing heart
I just
don't
get it

This are the prayers that am left with
It is bad

I couldn't breathe  

It's raining outside
I can't think
I can't see anything

Mine innocence taken
And bullets am given

I have a family
I had a family
am not retreating
am not surrendering

I've  seen people **** people
But i shot her just to save her


If i told you my story
They'll think am a beast

I used to be an infant
Innocent and full of life
Then earth happened

I was a prey
now am a predator
trying to fight for my existence
in a world full of salvages

Only the strongest survive
that was made clear

Some love me
others tremble when am  seen
but if I did ever care about what you think
I would be long gone (dead)

I know am a ticking time bomb
a star waiting to shine
a thief waiting to be crucified
Or just a miracle of life
