Written or spoken
Sometimes imagined or painted
Cannot fully explain the depth

Born Aug 2017
Some  poems are not intended to heal old wounds
but to scorch them

for the pain is the only high we have left
that cares enough to hurt  us

Things that I do for satisfaction  of thoughts
a fruit for my hollow nature

Things that I do for greed
a love that I can't exist without

Things that I do out of sorrow
a limping heart that seeks to be mended

Things that I do for solidarity with my demons
cling to the forgotten wounds that ******* me

Things I do when broken
die, death, put a black rose on my grave

Born Mar 2015

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

He did this to himself

Am not sad

Are you a gangster or
a thief seeking attention

Are you an artist or
a  voyager painting words

Are you a poet or
a plagiarist seeking love

Are you a Saint or
a sinner searching for salvation

Are you my heart or
a tattooed scar stuck on my chest

Are you a fisherman or
a sailor giving life a second chance

Are you the moon or
a lonely sun ravaging through your days

Are you moving forward or
dragging through tormenting memories

°*There is a clear line between right and blur
I don't know which one is wrong

since you've been gone
I've been hanging on

Born Jun 2018
I just don't get it
I love it soo much that I hate

I feel torn
Cruising towards reality

I feel written
A poem remembered

I feel loved
Enjoyed and celebrated

I  feel your warmth
On the blankets you left behind

I feel like the moon
always chasing the sun

I feel like a smile
a universal perfect mask
Born Jun 2019
Sometimes my thoughts exhaust me
Thinking, can be Crippling
Alwys analyzing different veriation of a possible outcome

Trying to figure out logic
In words spoken
Words thought

Trying to understand
The meaning of reason
Behind a speck
of an idea
Or sometimes a wish not processed

All this in the name of sanity
While deciphering the insanity
In the sanity we enjoy

Sometimes I feel like a memory
Of a person
like I have been lived before
Broken before
Devoured and scattered
In all corners of the Earth
Like am a voyager with a broken compass

Sometimes I feel like am too small
the world is too big
and I, an insignificant being
no relevance to anything that matter

Sometimes I feel like
I should go out and scream
Let go of this attachment called being  human
Cry a little
And die a little
Embrace pain and love
Embrace death and hope
Embrace belief and hate
Embrace nothing and something
Born Dec 2019
Perhaps maybe I should have asked
what is loyalty
If not some sort of conformity
that we mostly  seek in return

And you wonder
Why do I agree with you
if its not to fuel
Some sort of
Social agenda
that is either
Useless or filled with
Sycophany

The ones that have condemned us
To always believe
And follow
Like a sheep to a slaughter house

Cloaking ourselves
On what should be known as
Fundermental of stupidity
Born Jul 2015
I've never actually been in a club

This is my first experience, and I believe the noise is too much for anyone who wants to keep their sanity intact
Where is the fun in loosing your eardrums?

Its 3:24 am
My mind is still lost in the woods
Or is it the intoxicating reality
shoved down my throat
that blurs my thoughts
from accessing different avenues
of what could have been

324 times he tried calling
But you missed the calls
Missed the love
he longed to pour
Missed the story
that could have been

She tried to forgive you 3 times
but she couldn't almost always
sit around and fret
2 times, she caught you
4 times, you swore never again
but
your tale is that of oil and water
you couldn't have been

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

you've grown weary

the sun hurts a little bit

the moon hurts a little bit

if only i could take your pain
today my granny fell,the pain she's feeling is unspeakable
Born Jul 2017
Walking slow
Cause am drunk

Singing songs
to forget your love

Buying duct
to tape my heart

Weeping for
my ailing heart.

You said
I'll never be alone

I know am far
from perfect

But you promised me
the stars

ever since
I've been singing
songs of a broken heart
Born Aug 2014
I often talk about love as an electric emotion
Good or bad fiction
That is still unknown to me
I've seen the worst of this illusion
As real as it is, it _is still a fiction

I often talk about pain
because am dying to open up  but i can't
so i to write my poems  
to be content, to be peaceful

I wanna feel you tonight,
don't want to be on my own
Just let me be your freak,
and spin the wheel tonight

We are,we are who we are
We are that who we are
We are just those crazy people

Don't worry about diamond
it left me in pieces
shining in blisters
that stranger with hiccups
in death you rest in pieces
A mixture of trance, truth, just a circulation of thoughts
Born Jan 2016
Like I didn't know what's gonna happen
i bought her a book
Instead of that wine

Curious! So she came over
I waited for that wine, you know!

I preferred when you get lost in words
the way you stare and pay attention
like it's your story
or maybe someday our story

us meeting
maybe it wasn't a coincidence,
when you came into my life
you became a part of my story

a glass of wine
while we watch the sun set
as our story continues

I know  I don't have a dime
only a few words that might rhyme
like the way I bruise
My scattered haters
with my cruise

this ain't pride
and I don't like to collide
I do my best to stride
be careful you don't become my crime
Born Aug 2016
Thus your life is stuck with many dreaded thoughts

But a promise of hope isn't fading

It shouldn't

This is what life is
a scented flower but venomous

I was told your fate is in your own hand
But again I was taught that my fate is in God's hands

Some days I get it
other days I don't

But I do get hope
After all its the only thing I do get

I was a preacher  in a church
and i fell in love with your mother
then came the excommunication

I betrayed my vows
I betrayed my own brothers

she said
women speak 7000 words a day
but couldn't find perfect words for me

so we went under
the house of bones
and there
I was told
ghost stories

I hate this world, the more I am in it, the more I feel the need to look for a way out.

But that is no way to go for a man as great as I, I will wait and see what fate has in store for me.

When the world wakes up in the morning, the first thing they see is the beautiful sunrise.

They feel the warm rays on their face and breath in the fresh air.

When I wake up in the morning, I just feel the weight of my existence pressing me.

Pulling, pulling and pulling and I am afraid, for the time will come when there's nothing left to pull.

So tell me is that a way for a man as great as I to live?

She woke up to the reality of cruelty
Pain, the stench of his breath on her skin
life, she's been devoured of existence
She hated and regretted being a girl
oh pain, she couldn't bottle you anymore
she ran to the nearest, tallest bridge
and finally numbed the pain

Just a moment of silence
for a moment of sirens
When she was beautiful, happy
but some days were tragic
no no nostalgic
Of those days filled with magic

Just a moment of silence
for a moment of sirens
for  the days he was high
he ****** up her life
Clinging to a lie
escaping his life

Just a moment of silence
for a moment of sirens
When i found love
darling you were the one
kiss me slow
I want this moment forever

Just a moment of silence
for a moment of sirens
For the toddler feels the wrath
of famine and cold nights
of despots Clinging to illusion
of a world with no humanity

my life has been scripted in weird  ways

Just woke up in the most magnificent of rooms.

barely feel alive

already reminded of my suffering ,the royal kind.

I didn't ask for any of this.

An  empire,gold,women,slaves—my demise

Life can change in a jiffy!!!


dreamers dream,but I don't

expressing my imaginations in an optical way

Acting out my frustrations

Trying to remove this monster in me


Gold never gave me a smile
wait for part2

A cold drink so that I can't think anymore.

A cold drink just to forget.

A cold drink with a smile,a dimple some joy in it.

A cold drink!drink!drunk!

Man is a sinner, but judge him not
Even though his character is that of a sinister, weep for him not
For the fake tear, will crust on your heart
A price so dear, to pay as a Saint

As I walked  down the streets, a voice screamed
Placing gamble on help, forgetting humanity is deaf
The drunkard speaks
She wore a provocative cloth, like she's begging me to....!
What about her rights, or fear has consumed them
Like the gays in the shadows
Playing Russian roulette with life

Rights
Hush
The government is nothing but a facade
Created to keep you under control
Haven't you ever thought the irony of
Freedom
Being your right

For the meek
Men in suits are nothing
but our hopes and dreams
Of success
Or irate wearing a mask called mentor

But do you have what it takes
To unleash your Pandoras box
On the weak?
For your custom made suit
so that your rights of existence
Are not assumed
Born Sep 2017
Be prepared for anything

For loss of lives with no reason
an imposed treason
on your very existence

You'll feel like you are
the blackest or the whitest man on earth
racism shoved down your throat
and the hate keeps coming

Peoples morals will be axed
principles thrown out the window
we'll do anything
to get everything

Tyranny will have allies
Your complains will be put
"under advisement"
for you matter not

then you'll truly know
order, brotherhood and love
was nothing but a speech
and speeches are for campaigning

So I say
you quickly and quietly
Open that can of coke
and drown your emotions on a failing heart
like you've been taught

Or open your eyes
to the deep slumber of disillusionment
you've been subjected to.

And then you'll know
for the sake of peace
you gave up your freedom

Staggering pain

Placing your hopes like a new prey

talking to me like your new bait

Thinking about you makes me suffocate

The idea of letting go is never easy
and you couldn't
Let go

especially since
the package came with happily ever after attached to it
boxed in romance
sealed with love

She was a charming blue eyed monster
with irresistible smile
enticing voice

Born May 2018
Your smile is filled with mare
A mask that you still dare
To wear like nobody cares

I get that life is filled with issues
But living a lie will not dry the tears
or take away your fears

You'll forever wonder why happiness
Is bluntly staring at you deviously
and why your love egregiously
turns the oceans into dust, perilously

Born Nov 2016
Everyone seems to be in a dying mood lately
Fragile love stories
And how your hearts were broken

I get it
You want a different kind of love
A different story
Your own fairy-tale
A different happy ending
But

You chose to drown in miser
Suffocate in unspeakable pain
Craving for hate

Then what?
