There was the thick one and the slim one
The cute one and the fair one
I was all hearts for the one with a musical voice like I saw tetrachords in every word she spoke 😂
Like she was  honed to perfection like  G clef
Now the symphony rings in  my head like a telephone
Wake up to  good mornings in the ambience of  sweet mellows
Lasting euphorias and brand new choruses of love, peace and joy🤔
All in one thing
Music

Love
Did someone change your name
Did someone change your taste
Did someone change your shape
Everything about you seems different
You don't respond when I call out your name
You have a bitter taste when we kiss
We don't fit in like we used to
Like suddenly everything changed
And I was the last one to know

Time is hard to define

Tomorrow is lost in today

Today in yesterday

Hard to know how to plan

Because time flies so fast

In a flash, an hour is gone
A day is gone as well

Time is mysterious

Wish I could make you my friend
So that I would always be in line with every set accomplishment
But you have no voice
No arms to embrace me
Instead you sit and watch me fail
Maybe laugh at the silly mistakes I keep making

Time
Please look at me
Don't I deserve a second chance to everything !

Seasons changes
So do hearts
So do feelings
So do shapes
So do flames
So do religions
So do rules
So do cities
So do roads
So do dreams
So do ambitions
 
But the love of God stays

What is life
Just an L letter to me
Yet here I am breathing like its where I belong
Living today at my best
Worried about tomorrow and the falls that will come along
I’m unaware of so many things that I let slip away from my sight
That’s why I lost my way home
To the woman I love and my family and friends
Like I have to wait for the stars to point North again for me to use my compass direction
Somehow make it home
I hope it’s not too late to apologize to those I wronged
Those I left with open wounds that never closed
I hope I pay off the debts that took me on run
That I become the son my parents will be proud of when I walk in the crowd
I hope all goes well with my soul that along the way never comes dust to take away its purity
I hope my face will still be in shape for them to recognize me as their own
I have no birthmark but I guess mum will know it’s her son when she holds me in her arms again
I hope my future is built on trust and truth for I promise to leave the lies in the past
Maybe then I will understand what life is
After it's done putting scars on my skin

In your embrace
Sweet with your natural smell
Warm to melt the ice
I wanna fall and sleep
I wanna dream about us while you are still holding me
**** myself if I hurt you
Always defend you before the world
I wanna feel our hearts beat in unison
Feel them race like they have a trophy or medal to win
When I wake up, I wanna be married to you

Found myself on old roads that lead to you
No streetlights
No stars to light up the way
So I follow your voice
Inviting me home
Say let's put the past behind us and focus on the future
Because you've cared for me in ways no one ever did
That's why I follow you like I owe you everything
But you are married
Say there was never us
How we were so young and we fell in love so deeply
I have failed to erase the memories because they keep coming back
Paper into ashes
The fire has burned down everything
When it comes to you, it's like no matter what I'll come to you
Even though we slipped off, we can find our standing ground again
Maybe  stay friends till we drown into what we lost before
A love well designed by architects we never met
Could have been God
Maybe it wasn't
For what he puts hands on
Always lasts forever

Sweet mellow of the dawn
Mellifluous like the nightingale
Warming the ambience of the neighbourhood
Wafting from the house closer to ours
Voices of Whitney Houston
Charm for the heart
Falling over for it
The song should play on

Fear creeping  for the door is open
Now I'm scared of little Monsters in the closet
Nightmares that could make me crawl to mama's bed
No good memories of Halloween
The little hero of myself I had to become
Break walls to get me gold
Some days no strength left to carry the hammer and so just lay to the floor
For I was constrained
Slowly had to build the confidence
Without the help of alcohol or anything stronger
While drenched to the skin and in the cold, couldn't shiver like I had the bearskin
No sweat when closer to the hottest flames
Like I was one step closer to being a man
Beard the lion in his den and not be at anyone's beck and call
Awaken the Hercules that was in somnolence
Tell the truth and make more enemies
Karma is a *****, I didn't cut anyone
But each time, they keep coming after me
I feel my heart beat and that's how I know I'm breathing
Google won't tell the story and so I'll
In the eeriness of the world, I came out strong
Aura of benevolence always embracing me
Like humanity had me in its glove
So nothing and not a blade could pierce through my heart for I was strong
Always ready to fight for my throne
Believed in change and looked forward for the change coming
No treasures for my sight to buy my truth
I kept my voice loud
Made friends that cheered me up to the next step
Made some enemies too
That was a test of my persistence
How far i was willing to go
And It's another year and I'm still standing tall

She says
She never wanted a dolphin and neither a wolf
Neither bronze nor gold
Neither money nor fame
Neither honey nor lemon
None of that could bring to life what she lost
The love of her life

Cynosure of all eyes
A sight for sore eyes
Coveted girl in the neighbourhood
There's a horde outside
Waiting for the exhibition of the diamond she owns
Beauty dripping on you like cream on a cone
That kind of glare that could make a man blind
A glint of hunger brimming in my eyes
A hunger for your love
I feel a scratch in my stomach
Could be butterflies and more
Like which world are you from
Your body is built like Rome
A round of applause when you walk
With the je ne sais quoi in your possession
You are a model and there's no doubt
Born into la dolce vita
You don't seem to have a scar
Mona Lisa of the present time
I sailed the world searching for you
Because I heard your dulcet tones
I fell into the waters
Are you a siren inviting me for hostage in your treasure nest
Hollywood stars in the flash of the cameras
Smiles beckoning and taming my wild heart
Do you have the midas touch?
You're glittering like gold
My solicitude for you is because I love you
That's the deepest secret in my heart
I've failed to pen down my emotions
Scared they could tear me into pieces
When you walk away from me
I may not hide my dismay
So I'll become an introvert till I heal from the pain
She embraced me with remorse in her eyes
With emollient words in her whispers
Nibble on my ears till the frown faded
Like Hansel and Gretel we've escaped from the witch's house before
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss like Romeo told Juliet
A reverie about The Ravishing Queens in our lives
Enchanted by you like I'm under a spell
Maybe it's the music giving me this epiphany
I'm hoping it's true love not an infatuation

Remember the times we used to sneak out at night
To go and catch fireflies
Grab a jacket and cup of coffee on nights that were cold
Chess was the game for getting ourselves new friends
New faces before signing up for Facebook
That was our way
Trying to fit in
Each chance we got was always ruined
We had to build our world
Not minding being rich or poor
White or black
Tall or short
Long as we always looked out for each other
For we had us and that was beautiful
And it mattered

Everyday, my eyes open
To admire the beautiful world
I was born into.
Motivated with the style of writing and creation,
In possession of my feelings
That can never be killed by poison,
For I appreciate every second spent in your company.
Closer than ever I want to be
Tamed by you
Your hand holding my head with passion
Not afraid to let your heart open for someone so distant from your own kind
How I want to walk on the streets holding your hand and laughing like a fool
Understand how to cope up with the eerieness of the world
The dangers that are sometimes frightening
But peace conquering all in the end
For a new world starts with beautiful minds
Trying to change the old narrative
Erase misery
Flower new melodies
New options
New everything
Floating over us like clouds in the sky
That even with different interests
We live together as one

Secrets of my heart
All about love
Sorrows and smiles
Sometimes it's out of control
Whatever comes is what I go with
The truth was sugar coated
Making me desperate
Now that I'm fractured, I wish I never took this forbidden step
Can't pretend it was only tears from the start
We had good time together
Maybe we were getting used to each other
And now all that was blurred is clear and bright
You were never made for me

How deep do I have to go
For my love to grow in your heart
How many times do I have to prove myself worthy
My face disgusts you
And so are my conversations
You treat me like I'm no human
Like everything I touch surely dies
And you're scared I could ruin your life
My friends tell me to give up
My heart hasn't given up on you
It still wants you
You can tell by the eyes I give you
Tell me what's so hard in loving me back
What do your eyes see that I don't

Honestly, I've never loved you.
Honestly, I never wanted you
Honesty, I wasn't  into this relationship
Honestly, you're beautiful and perfect but not for me
You deserve better
I'm sorry it's a little too late
I want to be a better man
So I don't have to pretend or lie anymore
Hit me or hate me
I won't judge you
At least for the first time
I gonna be honest with you

Bent low cry that reechoes in a fading voice
Grief of loss of a loved one
Like losing them was the end of the world for you
For they meant everything
And now it's the end of the road for you
Flashbacks of how they treated you flood your mind
You touch your shoulder
Remembering that was the spot of their hands
You want to fall into the waters
Drown yourself
So you could die along with them
But forgetting, they had no choice for death
It suddenly happened
And when they watch over you from above
They cry as well
So just move on with the plans you had
Share the love they gave you with those that feel less loved
Make them smile like he/she used to with you
And maybe that will bring peace and rest to their souls

Burn like a  flame
Cut like a knife
Grind like a  stone
Fly like a bird
Swim like a fish
Light like the sun
Glow like a worm
Love like it's the only thing you ever wanted to do

Imagination so bright
A shine of smiles
A glow in every face
Cheers to being young
Do everything crazy
Kiss at the stairs
When everyone's watching
Carry you on my back like you had no legs to walk
Hug you all the time to keep the loneliness away
Known you since I was five
Can't believe time runs so fast
And now I'm calling you mine
Asking for your hand in marriage
You say yes
Finally I hold your hand in church
After your dad walked you to me
Saying make my daughter happy
You are the Prince I told her about that she would marry
I'm glad I lived this long to see it happening
Before I could even kiss her,
The lights go off
The imagination dies away

Walk in the thorns, my feet are bleeding
A sharp pain like my body is burning
Temperature is rising
So is my adrenaline
A brave heart is now the faint one
How deep were the shallows
How shallow were the deep
How loud was the silence
How silent was the loudness
So many questions
Nobody's got answers
Look in the mirror like my beauty's fading
I'm aging so fast
Nothing accomplished like I'm out of time
The jacket can no longer shield me from the cold
Maybe I need a hug
So many people I pushed away
Still don't know why
Like I was born this way
Meant to be selfish
Meant to be on my own
I want this to change
Still can't escape from my own shell
I want to be exalted and feel reborn
And see many faces I want to talk to
Fall in love with a stranger
Have kids run around and mess up the house
Be free for the first time

I miss us
I miss what we had
We can start over like it's the first time

I miss us
Conversations we had
Strings to strum to make a love song

I miss messing up the kitchen
When we were baking
Watching a movie in a couch
You in my arms
Eating all the popcorn

I miss taking photos of you
Like I'm your photographer

I miss getting drunk in the house
We couldn't climb up the stairs to our bedroom

I miss going to church every Sunday
Praying for our love to last till the end

I miss seeing you in my t-shirts
They were big but you didn't mind that

I miss you that you are gone
And there's nothing to do to bring you back
I miss you

Something has changed about this bed I sleep in every night
It's not the same like the old days
Where I would sleep and smile in my dreams
Nowadays all I do is wake up
Scared that I don't have enough to live
Like my days are numbered and maybe I should say goodbye to family and friends
Pray that I meet them again in another world
A better world hopefully
That they would discern who I am
Even when the old skin will be clothing my body
That they still live their lives happily without me
That sometimes when they reminisce about me
It brings them great pride instead of tears
I'll meet up with those that left before I did
Speak about those I left behind about how blessed I was after meeting  each one of them
Miss them as I watch over them in their sleep
Miss how they made me feel loved
Miss their jokes and smiles
Miss the music I would sit down and write
To comfort my soul when I felt so alone
Miss the river that flowed in every vessel in my body
The river of great love and passion for those that were always in my sight
Before I do miss every fight and hug
I wanna say I love them.
Before the last time they set their eyes on me, it would be in a casket

Mona Lisa
Staring at your picture
I wish I had met you in person
Tell you, you're beautiful
Your beauty glitters like gold

Mona Lisa
Who stole your heart?
Was he divine like yourself!
Was he good enough for you!
I hope he made you laugh

Mona Lisa
Was your voice mellifluous!
To have all men vying for your attention
Was it musical like the sirens!
Can you sing to me
To lead me to your treasure self

Mona Lisa
It's been decades
I've been waiting to see your face
To fall in love with you at first sight
And now I found you in the girl I love

Flower in the vase
I'm attracted to you like a honey bee
For nothing looks beautiful like you are
No wonder I found a home in you and wanna sleep on your gentle petals
How sweet your nectar
I won't tell the other bees about you
For I want you for myself alone

How do you sleep all alone in this cold place.
You folded your petals last night and I wished you could do it again
Let me get lost in you like forever
And maybe die with you when the conditions that ain't comfortable for your existence arise

I don't know your name
Are you a rose or a violet
You are blue and red
Reminds me of a rainbow
A herald for no stormy rains ahead of us
For even when every other creation was jealous of us
This is something they can't beat or change

So baby rise up and let me feel my wings again.
Take off the weight that was suffocating you
Adore you from above and while next to you
Wish the world to end with you and I at its face
Feel your fragrance waft in the air
To guide me home as I tell the others about who I found when they let me explore life
Define beauty in just one story "The flower in the vase"

Speak of the month in which I was born
On the third
Before the other days could steal my blessings
A month in which we put our feet in the sand for it's hot
The skies are beautiful with no darkening of the clouds
The stars to remind us how long we have to live while on earth
So many and no easy to count
A month I do love with my heart
I hope you'll be nice to me
Your child that adds a year today
Happy birthday to me

One last  walk with you
To any place in the world that your heart desires
Long as it's with you
I wanna be there
I wanna strum the guitar  and make you a song
One about you
That does describe you in ways and words no one else ever did
For you are beautiful, kind, a friend, someone I can always talk to
You are impeccable
And you have struck me at all times
I just wish I could flip the coins just once
Play by destiny and see if I could have you in the end
Because  out here on my own
I see only visions of us together
I know this is crazy
At least I'm being honest with you
I don't wanna keep anything to myself
If it keeps hunting me down
Whatever the outcome
I won't hate you
I will understand that loving someone doesn't mean you get loved back in return
Forgive me for breaking your trust
I hope you will still want to see me again after  saying all this
I love you

As you close those beautiful eyes
I hope they light up my dreams
I hope I hold you tight and dance with you under the moonlight
I hope those lips remind me the taste of love in every kiss you can give
I hope the skies triumph
The celebrations all big that they can never be forgotten
Cause in this dream
We would be one
A pair
Like peas in a pod lying on one another
I hope that the flickering doesn't stop even when the dark tries to absorb its sparks
I hope we make love on a king bed
I hope the message reaches out the angels above
That we receive a blessing
I hope I do make you the happiest girl in the world
That you will wake up and say your dream comes true
And say the eight letters back when I say them to you
That "I love you "

Life!
Does it have a definition?
Or we just give it meaning!
The thrills that come along
The people we meet that become a comfort
The mistakes and the regrets that break us
Sometimes put us in a place we never come out from
The stories told by those that have a fortune
Those we look up to that tell us not to give up but keep chasing our dreams
What is life anyway?
What answer would you give if a five year old child asked you the same question?
What would you say?

Ever wanted to run away and be happy in a place so far
A place with no troubles
Just roses and rainbows
A place you see fireworks every night
A place you will feel free to play in the mud like you are back to being a kid
A place in which love melts along with the ice cream on the cone
Where you do picture yourself as a queen
A sweet lady from the fairies
Someone every girl will wish to grow up and be
A place where the world is all yours
In your possession
No one can ever steal it from you
A place you call home
Your safe haven
Where paradise is always in the air
All around you
A place that can suffocate all your loneliness
Make you free like a bird from a cage
Well I do
That place can only be one
A place with me

She will tell you to calm down
Sing you a song that tells a love story
Be a sweet lover
And sometimes trouble
Compete with you to be the man
She was only 15 when she filled the blank space with my name
Turned 22, our love was red like the roses
No bad blood in it
No end game to it
Much as it was delicate like glass
Remind you everyday you're so gorgeous
I was enchanted to meet you
Please don't be in love with someone else
It'll bring teardrops to my guitar
I love the flattering silhouette of the dress you're wearing
The photo will be beautiful especially with my hand around your waist
I've had the wildest dreams lately
I'm afraid we are never ever getting back together
If that's the case then I don't wanna live forever
I hope it's not too late to take my white horse and go back to December
When you were searching for a place in this world
And somehow we met
Say the words "You belong with me. Let go of your insecurities "
Today was a fairytale and probably the best day of my life
Dance to our song 'cause then I truly know you're mine.
My Taylor Swift

I have been reading about lilies and roses
About the beauty earth is blessed with
Hoping I could read about you too in a magazine or a book
Cause your beauty blinds me
Bedazzles me
Addles my mind
I'm entangled in ropes of love
Unable to escape
Can't plead for freedom if I was locked up with you
Or lost in a world that had the two of us
I'm in love with your smile
Your joy is mine as well and so is your pain
Paradise is a place I'm destined to be in if you exist in it
That's why earth is like paradise for you make it a heaven
Wish you could read each thought of mine
And know for sure that "I like you"

The world has been silent
As aeons of racism continue each day
If it's a joke to whoever does it
It's not funny and never was
The citizens feel the sense of alienation
That's where they were born and raised
And lived to the dogma they found
They never chose to be black and hold a colour seen to inhabit a criminal
Their laughs went thunderous when a law that would fight for their rights was put in place
Instead it became a wall so high to climb and hard to break
That separated the races
So their faith in tomorrow fades
How will America be great when all these injustices are subtle
Each year we are aggrieved and new wounds to old scars cut open
The protests won't stop till a change comes
Nothing to allay them or bring our calm back
The jury keeps acquitting the police officers of all charges
This ain't happening for the first time
The question is "When will it stop?"
We need a spirit of harambee to fight this evil that found a home in the racists' hearts
We learned that life has no comic heroes to fight for us
We'll fight for ourselves
Do we have a halon to stop the wild fire from spreading and burning up the world
Yes we do
We have voices to speak.

Hey mama
My ineffable love for you glistens my eyes with tears
In my hidden diaries, it's written on every page
I love you and glad I  met an angel in person that happens to be you
Your love has always been free and fallen onto us like confetti
We have found shelter in your arms and grown up  thanks to your good words of counsel
Every step we've taken has always been blessed with a word of prayer
Thanks for filling the void in our hearts when dad was never around
Even better teaching us the virtues of life
Love, forgiveness and sharing
Happy mothers day to you
Thanks for loving us

A day like this will make me display my poetic flair for someone chained to my soul was born who happens to be you
I want to rhapsodize about you because back in the day only you struck me with feelings
The rhythms of the beautiful moments we shared never seemed to fade away
I cherish the vivid memories each and everyday
To be human, I had to watch your demeanour
No wonder the butterflies always docked at the  pit of my stomach
Test this love using litmus and you will find it to be true
I wanna listen to your mellifluous voice even in my dreams
Say the world and off we'll go
We only had hop scotch, hula hoops , cat and mouse chase games to **** the boredom
They all seemed to make our bond grow
You now have a hankering for reading and writing
Hoping this piece makes you happy too
Happy birthday to you dearest

I see her when my eyes close
When they open, she's not there
I hear her voice that used to be a symphony
From fields we used to play
When I follow closely
I still don't find her
It's like she's watching me all the time
Taking her revenge on me for the pain I caused her
Maybe it's just my imagination
We found love at the break of down
Broke up before it could even last
If only I knew
That's nothing shone brighter than dreams we shared
I would fight for our love

You don't know the kind of words
I wanna say to you
Not even those the world's greatest poets would think of
I'd move miles for you
Embarrass myself if it made you laugh
We are both from different worlds
And may never get your parent's blessings
Who cares what they'll think or say
This love is new and something no one has experienced
I'll let this pen speak in the letters I write
For with you I'm unaware of what to say
Time is not our boyfriend
You never know what tomorrow brings
So I can't keep hiding these blessings
Tell me if I'm wrong
