Broken pieces
We had that story that would win us an accolade of "best love "
We pushed it above to the skies, dressed  it in  a diamond frame and at sunrise, it could shine in the background of the sun
Was it an earthquake that shook the earth and broke the foundation on which this love had been built
Making the love fall from the sky and break leaving us with just pieces
Pieces that the winds blew to  different places
And now it feels like we shall never regain our lost glory.
Because the broken pieces haven't been found
True love can be hard to mend once broken

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
I'm humble as a dove
I've been that all my life
I deserve better
Still the world never considered my efforts
It gave me storms
that tore my life up
The grounds attempted to swallow me whole but never succeeded
Suicide was always a breath away
I was trapped in a world I never had rent for
The more I saw the petals fall from the flower that I called life, I more I felt less alive
Days came and left without a goodbye
Skies lit with radiant beautiful rays and gave a sign that my time to shine would soon come
I sold no copies of my music at my teenage age and I felt like someone forcing the music but now the chance to turn tables around was here
The time to claim my seat
The time to shine like a star
The day for my name to be tattooed on the face of the earth
The time for books to write
about my fame and how I got there
The time to live my dream life
The time for you to hear my story
And to never judge your future from your past
The time for my face to cheer
And that time is now

Love pilgrim
Wanna walk this road
Won't take a car, not a horse
Down the country side
Guided by my heart
On this love pilgrim I intend to take
70 · Dec 2019
Take me
Take me to a place
So beautiful like the stars
Shinning in the night
With a full moon
That makes all that's invisible visible
Roll up on me
Elegant and tender
And make me feel
The whole pleasure behind love
68 · Dec 2019
Love and it's existence
The books speak of love
Like it does  exist
And well before I met you
I did not believe love ever existed
68 · Mar 2020
Awesome beauty
This beauty calls for praise and words of woe flood my mind
Even heavens descend at sight of your feline grace
The robins and sparrows sing wonderful symphonies to highest of pitch to free the world of the calamities that tend to take hold of the world
I'm drawn to you like a magnet and can't escape from these darling eyes that shine up my days
As I fall more into  your gravity, let me not forget the words of a song from my heart
A song that speaks of your "awesome beauty "
67 · Oct 2020
Love like
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

Love confession
Tonight I'm off on a ride to a place that seems far but in my heart it's near
Looking for roses I should have bought you each Valentine's day of your life
Before I got to know my heart would fall for you and cast words of woe
It's crazy I'm getting these butterflies or maybe your beauty has a role to play
As the sun sleeps, we awake those memories that got covered up by the clouds to make our own movie and forget the narrations of ones we've watched
This love is true and runs like a stream
I want to watch it's sparks turn to a flame
I want to lie on your lips and adorn them like they were made out of gold
I want us to compliment each other like night and day
I want to lose gravity and fall into your arms
I want to say everything crazy like it's  my last earthly confession.
Remind you that you are beautiful, kind, smart, funny
You make my ribs edge out of my skin
I want your beautiful voice to keep in my ears always
I want to be part of each other birthday you celebrate,
let them be thousands or reach numbers I can't even count
long as I'm always by your side
My heart will be at peace
64 · Oct 2020
Honest
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
64 · Nov 2020
Music
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
Music my greatest solace

Mysteries of life
Bad karma always looking for those that wish others good.
Our defences are no longer strong for evil to break in. Like suddenly fate has rolled your life like dice and decided what's good/bad for you
Mysteries of life we discover everyday
62 · Jan 2020
Lie to me
Lie to me
I'm such a fool.
I will fall for any lie you make

8 letters
"If all it is is 8 Letters, why is it so hard to say?"🤔

Feels like a mission impossible
Not sure of the state of mind or if you need a psychiatrist to avoid the insanity cocoon
Scar tissue that's still healing and new wounds bleeding
Scared you are enchanted by a spell and none of that is real
Emotional roller-coaster replaced the old sweet chills and thrills like all feelings should be dumped and forever forgotten 😓

Crazy world we live in
So hard to express feelings once you start catching them
That "I love you"
59 · Oct 2020
Finding love
Finding love is easy but keeping it under your skin is hard
Sometimes it develops wings and flies away like a bird and can never be found again
Other times it stays until its destroyed by the conditions you subject it to
Cold or warm like a microbe whose life depends on temperature changes
I hope I make it stay when I find it
Hold tightly to it like a magnet
Wear it on my skin like a tattoo
Never be any prouder finding joy and peace at the end
I hope it’s not too late for me
To find love and forever sleep in its comfortable bed
no short cuts to finding love
no images of it showing up
driven by desperation, we can seek and find
be happy and own it
sometimes it brings joy other times tears like you needed time to be sure its yours.
so finding it can be hard
59 · Oct 2020
Wounds
Don't fall for my suit and tie
It doesn't mean I'm rich
Just trying
to dress the wounds inside
That could be ugly to your eyes
Some battles are better off fought alone
Regardless of the pain, you don't give up and become food for scavengers
You fight on your own because not everyone has a good heart like yourself
You cover the scars for no-one is interested in knowing how they came about
But you don't distance yourself from the world
You always keep it close and never lose possession of your human self
59 · Oct 2019
Good reason
I changed the tune of my trumpet
It's no longer the same sweet melody that cushioned your soul
For the winds of change brought a bitter taste that lingers on my tongue
I was everyone's skeleton before and now I'm my own
Life made me experience things that were never clear
We were younger and played together each day and now we are older and it's not the same
Growing up brought responsibilities that cut our bridges loose and now it's hard to talk and see each other as we did in the past
Maybe it's a test of life.
Shall we last or fall
I lost the spirit of desperation and learned to let things flow naturally for if the love or friendship is meant to be, I don't have to fight to make it stay
I will let them shine among the stars each night and if they  wither like roses do, I will know it is for a good reason
Growing usually *****, you have to sacrifice your friendship and family time just to fulfill your work commitments. It's sad I wish I never grew up and remained young

Dear Best friend
Our story unfolds
Written on emerald tablets
A few will read through and understand it
Shining like pearls and always holding its glow
How did God ever keep us distant from one another and somehow our hearts led us to one  other
How is it easy for us to connect and talk about life like we grew up together
How far is tomorrow from separating us
It's far and non-existent
How far are your arms when I need a hug
A centimetre or less for you are always close
We confide in one another and our secrets not for the world to hear of
You remind me of a girl I loved in kindergarten
She was an angel like you
An ocean fall of blessings from your wings when you fly above of me
I see you and think of the stars for you are one star in my life
Best friend is like the other version of you
Understands best when the world doesn't
Always ready to take a risk for you
I'm glad I found 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
57 · May 2020
Mother's love
Your love is incomparable to none
Priceless and yet had to find
It comes when least expected and stays even when we **** you off
It's always one call away
To be delivered like pizza
Or watched like a football match
It's always there
For it is true
Mother's love is something we should all experience
To all mums out there, happy mother's day
56 · Jun 2020
No to racism
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.
Justice for George Floyd

One last walk
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
From friends to lovers
Feelings hidden but one party if not both are hurting
Until they face the reality that they are either meant for each other or not
They will never be content
So one confesses to the other
55 · Oct 2020
In your embrace
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
54 · Nov 2020
Time
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 !
53 · Jan 2020
Hurt proof
I failed to release a tear or emotion
I'm hurt proof
Pain won't absorb me again
53 · Aug 2020
A place with me
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
53 · Jul 2020
July perfume
July perfume
Here you are
Wafting in the air
Like you belong everywhere
Straight to my lungs
And making me feel alive
Someone must have opened your bottle and never closed it
Must have been God
He knew that fragrance is all I needed
The sweet smell of my lover
My July perfume
53 · Jan 2020
Wrestling
I'm  wrestling with emotions
A battle between truth and lies
True love and the false one
I hope the pulse of heart lies in the poles of truth
I'm wrestling with morning feelings
Stolen from my sweet dream last night
And brought to light today
I'm wrestling with mad love over you
You are  that patient even with my empty promises.
I promised you heavens and not a fraction has come to your eyes.
I promised you warmth in the cold but sleep sweet and forget you are freezing.
Promised you roses everyday but all I do is emojis.
Promised to kiss you all the time but distance grew and it's wilder than before .
Promised every fancy thing that would bring out your dimples from the flesh but none of them came.
You still love without stopping.
What did I do to deserve you 😥
52 · Mar 2020
I didn't stop loving you
I
stayed
with my love
when you  walked away
  and
promised to share it  again
when you  came back

You just never came back and it hurts
50 · Jan 2020
Your name
"Dear" sounds little.
"Sweetheart" sounds less
"Darling' sounds  better
"Your name "sounds the prettiest of them all
49 · Apr 2020
Died
Another day
Another week
Another month
Another year gone without a word from you
It was easy saying goodbye
I didn't know it'd hurt this way
I picture us holding hands on the streets again
Thought our love had hit the depth of oceans
It's like it had just got to the surface
Lying afloat and so light to sink. No way it would survive
The oil that flowed down to the waters suffocated it
That's how it died
Heartbreak

Flower in the vase
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"
48 · Oct 2020
I miss you
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
47 · Apr 2020
Stuck in regrets
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
47 · Jul 2020
I like you
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"
46 · Apr 2020
Tell me if I'm wrong
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
45 · Oct 2020
What God puts hands on
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
44 · Aug 2020
My Taylor Swift
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 this friend that's a big fan of Taylor Swift
I wrote this for her on her birthday
If you noticed, it's a mix of songs sung by Taylor Swift

Love resume
Written so many letters
Moved many places
Had so many descriptions of one girl I wanted to have
From different cultures
From different colors
And sometimes felt I had a rainbow of options
Patience saved me having trials of how love tasted like
For I had none that would fit my love resume
Till I met her
So proud of having found love only once
And it was so sweet and true
Only one lover on my love resume
44 · Oct 2020
First time
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
42 · Aug 2020
I hope
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 "
41 · Jan 2020
Some truth about love
Love has no boundaries
No walls to break
And ain't attracted by mediocre things that are sight sought by our blind eyes
41 · Jan 2020
Our pair
I'm loving the weather
Loving the sun and the rain
Loving red and blue
Loving white and snow
But loving you and me even more
I'm so in love with our pair

Friendship
Didn't need a crown to be king
Didn't need the practice of talent to be great
It suddenly bloomed and multiplied faster than cancer cells
A twist of faith to have fortune at our doors
Hunger didn't leave us with scars
We triumphed and became lords of victory
For brotherhood was that chain necklace we wore and showcased to the world
Trace my roots in the fertile lands where the sun rises from
Not the moon or the Mars but from the land on which my former highschool sits for it made us great
And now we are the living definition of greatness
Was it art? the calligraphy that flowed with the streams to the Nile
That perfected the virtues of life in us
Was it the winds that carried sweet melodies from the nightingales and made us dance like Michael Jackson
Was it the Math that added up every good thought and shadowed all evil that rained in mind
Or it was a love built on simple grounds
Needed no castles to be supreme
It was friendship and nothing more
Just thought that you should know
In Life, we meet new people that become our friends and then family.Everyone needs a friend
41 · Apr 2020
Please let me
I'll come and go just like the wind. Leave no sign of my visit.
The leaves will hold the memory through the cold
but even that will die away when the sun comes.
I'll be stories told to those that never got a chance to see me .
Make you laugh if I had some humour in me.
Sometimes make you sad when you miss me.
The clock is a reminder that time keeps moving
Some day it could move on without me
I'll be gone but always there with you
I'll be watching from above and celebrate every little victory you make
Before all this happens, I wanna spend each day with you dearly and with no regret
Please let me!
40 · Jul 2020
Sad past
Pieces of my heart
Broken like glass
Carried to different places by the winds
It's hard to know
If they went North or South
East or West
Hoping to find a home
A pillow to rest my head
A handkerchief to dry my tears
A plaster to cover my wounds
Hoping they heal and leave no scars
That will remind me of my
Sad past
40 · Oct 2020
What do your eyes see?
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
39 · Aug 2020
Life
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?

Rewrite the stars
While I was laying on my bed
Waiting for sleep to come and  take me with it
Your name filled my mind from nowhere and then the a sweet memory flowed along with the cool night breeze
Thinking of everything we actually talk about
The smiles the jokes
The love within even though to you  its just friendship
Then read all chats like a heart broken soul but not  crying just laughing at us
What if we REWRITE THE STARS and become more than friends
