Freedom
A song for freedom
For we are helpless with no ambition
Wishing we could see the vision
Jump on the next train to freedom
When the cage is finally open
And we can stretch our hands
And say we are finally free
To explore beyond the horizon
Race for the galaxies
Swim like the dolphins with so much peace and pleasure
Stand on the highest mountain just to see the world
Sigh with wonder of how amazed you are
For all that was blurred is clear
And the world is all yours
And you are the master of your own happiness
The feel of freedom is so far gone
That I forgot its touch
Everyone is a prisoner at one time and they hope to be free one day from all their troubles
Freedom from suffering
Freedom from discrimination
Freedom from poverty
Freedom from people's control
Freedom from all that makes you feel a slave
Everyone wants that freedom

Imagination
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

Will you be my valentine
My mind is riding on a bike
Moving through the path of love
A photo of you falls from the sky and tells me you're the one
This is the question from my heart
Will you be my valentine
Because I keep thinking of you
Thoughts of you are so alive
Just like Chocolate and roses for valentines day

Love of her life
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
116 · Oct 2020
Peace and rest
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

Everything i desire
There is so much to  talk about , you are just blind to see but not  deaf to hear the songs I dedicate to you  from the bone of soul to the flesh .
Beautiful and amazing songs that depict my feelings for you.
You are a one whole collection of life that lies seeded in the depth of my heart and makes it beat.
You are everything I desire and hope to get

Fear of loss
Those times i felt afraid
Escape was the only way to go
I wanted to run away
but i was locked up in prison  and needed a prison break
I wasn't Michael Scoffield so i had no perfect plan to run away from this prison that had taken away my peace .
This prison was within me.
It was in my mind
Like a computer program that had been installed and i had no password to it and so it was a hard one to decrypt
I was marooned in a lost place
Caught up in a dome and the air i breathed never changed
This air smelt fresh but no like before i lost my mind
I was running paranoid
I needed a savior but no one would come no matter how hard i screamed
I felt my body getting weak like i had inhaled poison to my lungs and it went straight to my brain
The pain was deep and hurt like cancer
I had no heroic acts and so i had to endure
I had to drop to the ground, crawl on broken glass and let the pain absorb me
Till one morning i rode a missile right to it and broke it down and the sky of misery soon fell down
I could see the sun and i had finally moved on
The fear of loss is terrible but i'm glad i finally conquered it.
Moving on is always hard because there will always be that one thing you look at and remind you of the good glorious days.However, we had to learn how to lose in order to grow and that's how i conquered my fear
110 · Feb 2021
One for me
There was a blank space in my story that you helped fill
A broken me that you helped fix
A cheerful smile you helped build
A beautiful mind you helped grow
There was that chorus in your voice that I fell for
I saw light in my life by staring at your eyes
I could see my future designed already
Maybe it was written in the scripts
That we would meet in a mysterious way
I love the tide on which we jumped
The music that played as we kissed
Memories we made
I didn't picture me as one that would sweep you off your feet
Somehow I got lost in every verse
You helped me make it out of the maze
That's how I knew you were the one
I needn't look any further
You are the one for me and will always be
One for me describes a lover you know is surely the one after he or she walks with you through good and bad days and never changes their mind about you

Sights
Sights of our meeting place
Come bright when the stars light up the night
Same place we had our first kiss
When the world fell asleep

The rise to the top
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
The rise to the top is always a process
So many walls to break
So many mountains to climb
However, the hard work is always paid off
107 · Dec 2019
It's paper
It's paper
Sealed all through
With an address on one side
An address with your name on it
On it is a message from me to you
This paper is available in many colors
But this one is special
With a photograph of you on it smiling in the sunset
It's a love letter on this piece of paper
In this envelope
It says how I do feel about you

Dark clouds
Not
all
dark clouds

the rains

Some  bring the storm
The future is unpredictable even with the promising signs
You just have to be ready and  embrace any situation that comes your way
Stand out and be ready

Fool in love
When I think of red,  I think of roses
When I think of blue, I think of the beautiful skies and when I see them fade, I think of sunset. The skies turn gray, the night is here and its our  time to shine among the stars
When I think of perfect, your ways come true
No words depict my feelings for you. Only a fraction will do.
You define the world to me and mean more than the earthly treasures will ever do.
I'm drawn to you like a magnet for a place with you is home
And your voice orchestras the melody of happiness that lights up my life gives  me peace  and keeps me young
You are tailor made for me
A curve in an eight how you embrace me
They say nothing lasts forever
Have they heard of our love and how it will hold a candle even when our bodies lose this flesh and all that is left are bones
Have they seen  how we are such a match  for each other
I lay awake with wonderful thoughts of us living by each other's side each and every day and hope I'm not fooling myself and being a fool in love

Butterflies
I stopped catching feelings
All those butterflies seemed to have flown away and never returned home
That was in the month of winter
And now it's spring
The leaves are falling
Still no trace of butterflies
Like they never made it to their destination
Flowers haven't blossomed
The purple colour of the garden is no more for the eyes to adore
How beautiful the place was
Magical time of the fairies still alive
Everything seems slow like the earth has become the moon
We can no longer feel the gravity
It's so hard to fall in love again
For I failed to catch the butterflies
Falling in love can be tricky especially when you don't want to go through the same flames that brought scars to your skin.
You will always let love pass by you like a passer-by on the streets that you ain't interested in knowing.
You always repel anything that will drag you to the pool in which you once swam
Because you just can't let go of the pain
That pain has taken possession of you and keeps guiding your decisions
And yet sometimes you have to let go and move on

Bae
Bae
I think of you as a miracle
A treasure I sought and found
A love that keeps hatching in the middle of my chest
Makes my heart race and days blessed
I would compliment you today and tomorrow and feel I didn't do enough for  I love being in your hair.
I love having you around me surrounding me like a circle or dome I can't escape
I love the peace you bring  remarkable and reknown to me
I love seeing you smile and watch us talk and laugh like we knew each other thousands of years ago
I love being a a collar and you being the shirt.
Love being the make up to draw the beauty lines to where they belong.
Back home I can sit comfortably and say "wow life blessed me more and more  because I got you "
Sometimes in my dream I call you BAE
When you have a crush on her, you need to tell  her the truth
Tell. her she means the world to you and never stop
These compliments do mean a lot to her
101 · Jan 2021
Forgotten one
You know
you don't love her anymore when
thoughts of her go blind
and
lose their pulse and there's no trace of her drug in your blood

Hello poetry
Hello poetry,

It's me your old friend
Do you still care about me?
Do you think of me when you are alone like I do with you?
Where did you go to that it's hard to come visit?
Do you miss our times together?

I compliment you in the day for your beauty
And in the night for your glow
I compliment you in a song for you are hard to forget
I'm grateful for your warmth and company when I felt alone
For in those dark rooms, we wrote beautiful poems together and I felt less alone
I can't imagine my life without you
Please come back home

Signed the faded poet
Writing hasn't been easy of late.
It's like I lost my sense of direction
I lost that drive and inspiration
Getting back up is a bit challenge but I'm trying

Forgetful mind
I forgot the chorus to the song the angels above sang when we met
I forgot you like to listen to it before you fall asleep
And each time I try to perfect my voice, I sound like I can never sing for you
I forgot about the Christmas letter i sent to Santa asking for someone to cherish
Someone to love and someone to hold
Someone to always kiss and call my world
I forgot he brought you the following year when I did need you but I messed up for I never had the perfect words to say to you.
Words that would depict my true feelings of you.
Each time I see you walk on the streets
There's always a magma of words wanting to erupt and reach out to your ears just to remind you how much I love you
But then i always remember the forgetful mind i have . So I let you walk away
96 · Feb 2019
Tamed me
I'm a bombshell of words I know
If my voice ever calms down
The tone is slow
And a ballad is rubbing against my throat
Don't pretend not to know that being next to you has tamed me that much

Color blind

I need an address
I need an address in your heart where I'll live forever  and nobody will ever kick me out
I need assurance in your arms I'll be
They will never get tired of me no matter how much I stink
I'll need to protest when I see other guys flirt with you
Hope you do the same when other girls try flirting with me
I know jealousy ain't a good thing
But I have so much love for you that I can't give away
So stay with me
Let's weave our love nest

You make a conquest
When you touch me, I'm lost
Even when I wanna take things slow, its beyond my control
I'll let you have me same way you let me have you
And hope this moment never dies

I need an address known to only me
I need to know only me gives  you butterflies
I need assurance that you love only me
And hope you show it in everything you do

I give you my assurance
I'll love you with every breath I got
I give you the world
I give you everything
I won't say i give you my heart for I did that before your mum and dad thought of bringing you to earth
And not even death will put us apart
Nothing else but love
94 · Dec 2019
Don't break it
If every night was like last night, I would never wish for heaven for in my dreams you brought heaven for me.

You gave me a smile I waited thousand years to have when you held my hand like we were saying goodbye and you didn't wanna let go

We walked shoulder to shoulder in company of each other, we could  afford a train but we wanted our feet to feel warm on the soft pebbles planted in our paths . I call them pearls of love

Your smile and beauty carried me away each moment and I could freeze and forget the lines and words you said seconds back .

I was living my dream life like it was my wedding day and then that kiss that reached for my lips gave it a fairytale happy ending before my alarm clock rang and  woke me up from my dream. I believe this dream was telling me something , to let my heart follow you.

I will give it to you like I did the first day we met but please don't break it
93 · Nov 2018
I'm only a poet
My mouth will never run out of serenades
I will sing them to perfection to draw your life under a joyful beautiful sky
I will buy you flowers
Call you every second of the day and compliment you always for your sweet adorable unmatched looks
At times I will do all that for I never wanna see you cry or hurt
And sometimes it will be flatters because I'm only a poet
92 · Jan 2019
This Rose
Why keep looking at me with a scowl
Why keep playing me  the same sad song
I hold my cheek with this pain in  my heart
Drowning in a pit of sorrow
Its all blind to your eyes
Okay you are perfect, you never had a flaw
This weather is all changing
Can't you see we are hurting same way
I ****** up once and its a story that keeps rolling off your tongue
You can never kick it out of your ******* mouth
I'm  waiting for my smile to come again but the season never comes
Wish I were a bird and fly straight to hell to pay for my mistakes that have led to all the pain I caused you
'Cause  what separates me from the dead is that I'm still breathing
But I'm already dead
In these scratches lies a mirror of a brighter tomorrow
That's why I left THIS ROSE with a letter at your door
Hope you read it and understand all my reasons
I'm sorry for everything
I'd take every word I said if I could
But the damage has happened
It may take time to heal
Please forgive me
Love hurt forgiveness
92 · Jan 2020
Timetable
If loving had a timetable
Which days and time would be perfect.
Would we have breaks or it'd be love till the end
No waking up and no sleep
If loving had a timetable,  how would it be served

not the only one
I wish i would pour out my feelings for you but the river that flowed in me dried up and not even a drop of it was left.
I wish the roses that grew in our hearts when we met would bloom for thousands of seasons but after you left , you took the sun away that rose from your eyes , left the pain and everything died almost bringing my life to an end.
I wish the stars that led me to you would come back and be my friends to ride me on the path that you took and left me in this lonely place .
I wish i would burn down the memories we made and be strangers if we met again because everything around still reminds me of the love we had .
It's unthinkable the promises we made on the roof top while admiring the world and calling it ours were broken in the later weeks.
It's enough of the wishes i guess because none of them are gonna happen and i got to move to God knows where .
I have loved and lost and hope i get another shot at this.
Because after listening to the Sam Smith song, you are not the only one . That's my consolation and hope i find a better one

Your face
Rivers don't run, they flow
The sun never burns, it shines
Diamonds don't glow, they sparkle
When the world thought nothing  would be more beautiful than the rainbow, your face proved them wrong

Baby's cry
It cries on its first visit to earth like it's not happy to be part of the struggles
To the doctors and family, it's how they know it is alive

It cries when it's hungry and when we it's too hot to suit its sleep

It cries when it falls down on its first step

It cries on its first whip from the world.
The bullies and hustles

It cries when it's picked up new wounds from new fights at school

It cries each and every time until it adapts to the world and becomes a man or a woman
85 · Jun 2020
First sight
An evening walk turned into a story
A memory from gold dust to jewellery
The day known to me and not easy to forget
For that's the day I let loose and let her steal my heart
Bedazzled by her on first acquaintance.
My lips went silent of words
No clue on how to start complimenting a stranger
Whose looks were ones that never fell into my sight
A hello was like the first verse of a song
I was nervous and it made her smile
She knew I was shy and afraid to take the step but still stood with eyes daring me to confess all that was burning inside of me
I admired everything of hers from head to toe and then gave her the chorus to the song she wanted to listen to
I told her I was in love at first sight
85 · Nov 2020
Strangers we call friends
I'll never bow down to the world
It bows down to me like I'm King and my voice is supreme over all that is in it's dome and beyond
Just yesterday it felt different like all streets disowned me and people I knew were nowhere to be found like I was some kind of freak and nobody liked me😅

Now it's a flurry of excitement
Fireworks lighting up the skies
A couple of selfies taken
Toasts to greatness

Like where were you yesterday when I was hurting and I found myself crushing
True friends are hard to find
A friend in need is a friend indeed
84 · Mar 2020
Hack
I wanna hack into her heart
Break all firewalls making her say no
Then put locks on every door of her heart
With a biometric device sensitive to only me

For her love, I will be selfish and share it with no one
Make her loved by only me
84 · Jan 2020
Stuck in a bubble
Stuck in a bubble
Carried away by the wind
Could move east to west
But love would still bring me to you
Oh, baby! It's getting hot
inside this bubble
it's about to blow up
My heart is beating so fast
like I'm scared of death and
Maybe I am
Maybe I am scared of breaking the oath
I made
of being by your side always
So I'll sing a song while in this bubble
One that you love
One that speaks about your beauty and golden heart
but I may not sing the chorus
for the bubble
will blow up
in
a
few seconds  
before I say the first verse
While I'm gone, don't forget about the boy that got stuck in a bubble
The magician put him in it because he was jealous and loved you just like I did
Maybe love goes to sacrifices
and our fate not to be together
and now one of us has to go
84 · Dec 2020
Ride or dies
Rummage through my past
Searching for sweet pieces of my life
That have been in an abyss
Lain there and seem forgotten
Thoughts can be troubling
First love still holding the flame
No incision deeper than my first cut
Like you carry a piece of me with you wherever you go
Told me our fairytale story had no ending
Only happy ever afters
In a blink of an eye, she went on to another chapter
Took the bus and left with no goodbye
No address and even changed her number
Wanted to leave these thoughts to the surface
Instead they went deeper
Back to the day when I got my first kiss from my first love
Hold me in your umbrella and give me shade from the scorching sun
For you're unforgettable and we are destined to be together
The impossible happens like feeling your touch when the cold comes
Like we are ride or dies together
The first love is hard to forget
84 · Dec 2019
These words
A mouthful of words
All confessions of
Feelings for someone you love
And wanna walk  down the aisle with
To fulfill the promise you made to her when you were young
Before you tamed the young and conquered its wild
A promise to never break her heart
And love her each day of her life
These words
These confessions
These feelings
That depict the awesomeness of love in a sweet girl
Are all in my head and I can't get them out
83 · Sep 2019
Goodbye
Dear loved one,
I am here in a lost world, all on my own in an abandoned environment.
No one to talk to, no friend to disturb, no one to crack a joke for me, no one to hug, no one to kiss, no one to love.
This place feels safer because I don't hear **** from people but among the things I miss is hearing from you.
I understand I have a big problem and I never admit that I have lost. It's so hard I can never find any other like you but if the winds wish me good, they should blow you to my direction.
I am standing on a cliff holding a photograph of you smiling infectiously.
It shows your powerful divine beauty and I'm placing it on my chest. If you could imagine it, then you could feel my heart racing for you.
I do not know how to swim but I'm actually ready to jump.
If you can't love me on earth, then maybe you will in the after earth.
Before I do so, remember one thing. If there's any good thing I chose in life, its to love and be with you.
This is my goodbye
82 · Dec 2019
Just a hello
Days start with mornings
And similarly, true love starts with just having a conversation with a stranger on the streets
With just a hello
79 · Dec 2019
Heads or tails
If I tossed a coin today
Heads or tails
My heart will still race for you
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

Missing piece
What is the cure for  loneliness?
I'm tired of being sad and miss my joyful smile.
I have many stories to tell but no one is around to give me an ear
Everyone for themselves I drown more into this pit of sorrow.
Do I still need friends?
Do I still need family?
Why does it feel like I'm a cactus surviving on a woody tissue?
All these questions flood  my mind and I got no answers
Guess I'm cursed never to love
Every girl I try breaks my heart and walks away
When I remember the cheers, all I get is tears that never dry
It's been hard for me to move on for I'm as fragile as glass and was broken to pieces
I'm tired of the same old songs  and waving goodbye to my past starting today
The world needs to know that I'm only a teenager that wants to be loved
I haven't lost hope in tomorrow
I feel love in a distance and I know out of the light of a star, an angel will come
She will be everything I wished for
She will be the missing piece of the puzzle to make my life better again and complete
God knows I'm praying and know that one day,  I will wake up  with her in my arms
78 · Dec 2018
Merry Christmas
The wise men and the shining star
Venus and its diamond sparkles
The mistletoe and its sweet kisses
Xmas tree and its presents
The carols and voices that sing them to perfection
So happy the day is here
Friends and family
Merry Christmas

Xmas is here
77 · Sep 2019
Sad faced
I wish Christmas would come early.  I need joy.
I don't need to mourn forever its time to move on
These words that I say may mean nothing at all
They speak the inside of me because fear built a mansion inside of me I  need to break it down and have my  own defenses
I need friends though I don't wanna trust them
Today they talking to me tomorrow we're strangers
What the **** did I do
To get me on my own
Huh? My screaming ain't helping. Is it not too loud?
Sometimes I crumble  in my room in the company of  music  my remedy but need someone to talk to
Escape, run, fly away only if I could.
The paths changed and I got no map in my head
That's why I bow down to this world and act stupid but is heaven is home, the angels should take me away
77 · Dec 2020
Love in phases
Love in a blink
No brakes to stop you from falling
For a stranger
Whom now you know by looks but not name

Love in a moment
Now that you know her name and story
You know what she does on Saturday and you're hoping to see her on Saturday night
To take her to your favourite spot

Love in smiles
Two young people so in love
Convinced that destiny let them walk into each other

Love in a shadow
Blades cutting through what was strong
Putting holes and creating wounds
Fights and disagreements like you all rushed and should have waited

Love in a flame
Still dancing to the rhythms
To where the winds blow it
Never losing it's fuel
Lighting up the dark
Love happens in phases
Can last or end at any time
Question is "are you willing to fight for it?"
75 · Oct 2020
the love of God
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
The maker of you and I always watches out for you even when you think he isnt .
His love is abundant for you

Before
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

We found love between us and called it our chemistry
And now that it's gone, it's history

If
If
If the sun and moon were lovers, would we have days and nights,
or life on earth would end so soon,

If the sky and the lakes were lovers,  
would we see the clouds or they would shift to another place

If flowers kissed the thorns, how would it feel like

If stones had feelings, how deep would their love go

If insects turned out to be humans, would they go on dates and exchange marriage vows

Once present should spray along with the winds and travel like pollen to hearts that need to have a taste of true love

The last one
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

Don't let the worry fade ur smile away.
Don't let the guilt nor fear take your pride away
Stand firm
Strong and brave ready to fight like you were born to be.
Stand to always be a warrior
Quitters don't win
That's everyone's favorite slogan
And there's never a smooth path for us to walk in
A little resistance on the forces that hold you back will get you where you want to be so keep striving hard to make to the finishing line
Tomorrow will be yours
