I am a slave to your tongue
What it tells me to do, i do.
It told me not to love you but somehow i really do
My heart
Is
A
Slave

It carries
This heavy love
It has for you each and everyday
And it never complains
Whether the love comes back in return or taken for granted
It will break and still beat for you
Because for you, it chose to be a slave
Love has no boundaries
No walls to break
And ain't attracted by mediocre things that are sight sought by our blind eyes
She said
"What will weigh down
What we've spent ages trying to build
I know it stands high on a rock
But what if the winds were more powerful and brought it down
It's been four weeks since we settled down
How can I be sure you're the one
I know we don't fight or argue
But is peace the measure of love
I want to share everything of mine with you
Will you do the same?
Will you watch the game every Saturday with me
Or still go out with your friends like it was in the past"

I said
" No one knows the rivers we crossed to shine a light on this love
So no one should confuse you about anything
My love for you is here to stay"
Eyes collide
Feelings multiply
On the gold coast we met
Like she was the best jewellery ever made
She was proof that the beauty tribe wasn't extinct
Somehow I knew I would find her
When I asked the mirror on the wall
Who my better half would be
She was just as I imagined
Scintillating  mellifluous voice that etched with the wind
Brown eyes that held her innocent spirit
Unapologetic exquisite looks marvelled from heavenly soils
Six feet tall with a voluptuous figure
I was hoping my feelings were perceptible and could resonate in her soul
Guess I was too late
She was already taken before I took my first step
Memories of her linger on
I still worship her for she's still the goddess of beauty
One not even Mona Lisa could match
I'm afraid I haven't moved on
She's still the one I love
Arao Kay Ruth
This was for you
We learned to love and made the sky melt
Tried to kiss and gave the clouds tears
Played our favorite song for the  waters to dance to and  they gave us waves
We left the world for our love was bigger and filled the universe
And now we shine among the brightest stars
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
Brimming with lachrymose does not define you as weak
Blades lacerating and make you bleed
The heat of the pain giving you distress
Like a lion, you fight it and don't let it own your body and make you numb
You are the strongest person I know
You are a Knight but you don't live by your sword
You live by your truth
Gone are the days when success of a woman was beyond the pale
When they said you couldn't
You stood with hands at akimbo and said "watch me do this"
It's not hard to notice the impeccable beauty and qualities you exhibit
Kindness and generosity
Such charisma is contagious
Did I tell you, your smile is Infectious
When you speak, the whole world listens
I believe in the bro code
Doesn't mean I will hurt a lady
Will always cheer you up on each and every victory
You repel the dogma and make your own rules
Each time you are around it feels like school
'Cause there's something new we learn from you
You that breathed a life in me
Will find a way for me
That's why I believe you are God's greatest creation
God's master piece
I have a seed growing called hope inside of me
For a better world
And it starts with letting you in
Something unquestionable is the strength of a woman
Happy women's day
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
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
Sunflower
A shine of the Indian complexion from your skin
Like you were dipped in gold
And maybe that's why I find myself bedazzled by you
For you are truly an angel
Beautiful and intelligent
With a sultry smile enough to make the sun shine
And leave the sunflowers still beautiful
I guess you are my sunflower
With that brown soft skin
You smile same way its petals stretch out
From afar a glimpse of the field on which you grow leaves me falling in love with you more and more
Love is as old as the sun
When we were young,
it was all about holding hands, wanting to be close to each other but truth is, we were blind to see that love was bringing us together.
Suddenly we became taller, you started getting hips and my voice got deeper.
We started writing love letters to those we smittened.
Along the way, we hurt one another and it helped us grow.
Here we are now, dating and traveling like two love birds.
What kept us going is patience, trust and when we suddenly understand what love figures are, we let wedding bells ring that beautiful moment
When I finally become yours and you now all mine
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
Take me back
To the old times
When we went to the mountain side
And forgot about the  world behind
We were eleven but acting like grown ups
Traveling across the world like birds in the winter
We were dauntless together and had no fear
You were my greatest cheer
A sound resonance of joy
It's crazy I'm not funny
Somehow I made you laugh
Remember when we were learning the alphabet
The first letters we picked l, o, v, e
And that's how we made the word love
Sweet memories  flow like a river that never ends
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
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
He buried his pain in a pool filled with bees
Embraced the thought that they saw him as King and yet bees only have a queen
His skin felt not stings but strings of the sweet melodies that made them buzz and they never made a waggle dance for a new hive
He had a gift of telling them how to sleep when the world needed no noise
He woke them up when in his heart all that was left was void and needed a friend to listen and talk to
Those that saw him from afar thought he was cursed but he had no scars from the bees
He was just a man looking for lessons on how to love  and only the bees showed him how
The loner will be never alone
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
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
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
Life is full of miracles
Miracles of the successes
But those people we meet in life and make it worth living stand out to be more of miracles
Ravishing Queens are our mothers, our sisters, our wives, our aunties and our daughters
Maybe today my Ravishing Queen would be a girlfriend
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
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
We had those fights plenty of times but our love still hit the skies
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
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
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 !
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
She was having a good time in heaven
When a tear dropped from both eyes of mine.
Anyone on earth would have caught these tears, stopped them from falling and perhaps given me a smile.
But nobody cared
For I was alien even in my own body and didn't know what made me feel so lonely.
I felt my heart was missing something
This dull expression killed the world like an epidemic disease and no one had its cure
I guess that's when an arrow reached out for her heart and caused her the same pain I was going through
She would have loved to teleport but had no magical powers
She would have loved to catch a flight but there were  no airports in heaven
Much as she is an angel, her wings weren't strong enough to fly
So the only way she'd make it to earth was living in the womb of an adorable being I refer to as her  mum and being born on that beautiful day
Happy birthday to the love of my life
It wasn't your beauty that gave my  heart tinkles
It was love at first sight
Right now I feel I rushed
Maybe it was lust or an infatuation that made me choose you over the others
That made me opt for green instead of blue
Your arms clothed me with warmth and now all they do is make me catch a cold
Love can be so sweet in the beginning before you know it's  bait dragging you to your own grave
I've walked through paths full of thorns and never bled
Got shot many times and never died
I guess its time to define reality
I don't love you anymore for you have turned every smile into a tear and made me sad when I needed a cheer
Its time to turn off the  radio
I don't wanna hear your favorite song ever again
For the pain you caused me burns inside of me like hell
And everything that reminds me of you is as bad as sin
Under the shell
It's dark and hard to see
Our secrets are safe from the world
Unless it got cracked

Under the shell
Everything moves slowly
Our eyes take ages to blink
It's hard to define speed

Under the shell
We are protected from the outside
We never see what it's like
We only tell it's hot while stuck in sand
And cold when waves push us to the waters

Under the shell
Is beautiful like the galaxies in the sky
An Explorer fell in love with me
Overwhelmed with my beauty
Took the pearl and told me my name
I'm an oyster shell

Under the shell
Is where my heart was before you found me
Wild and not easy to tame
No one to call a friend.
My life was empty and almost ending
You couldn't watch me fall
Held my hand and supported my gait
You were proud of me when others weren't
That's the best someone has loved me
Best feeling ever now that I came out of my shell
I was not a swimmer but for you, my body tasted the cold waters
If we
met
a thousand years
from now,
you
would still be
my
valentine
Valentine flower
All that every girl wants for valentine
But you are all that I want each day of my life
Like everything I desire in embedded in you
I hope you choose me over flowers
For unlike them, I'm here to last
But you are my valentine flower
Red like the roses
Beautiful like the lilies
And you are your own vase
Instead of water, I wanna pour my love unto you
That it sticks your roots firmly in the soil
Helps your branches rise
Keeps your petals always attractive
I wanna to be your dream come true
Your best defence
Your everyday inspiration
I want to help you with everything you plan to do
That you do it knowing you are not alone
That I'm always close whenever you need me
I can't promise to stop with the compliments and stares of you whenever you walk
For I know you are the one for me
I don't need to look any further, I just have to focus on what's in front of me
I wanna share everything of mine with you
My smiles and my pain for only you understands me better than anyone else
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
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
I made my first move soon as the traffic lights turned green.
Ran after you for I was following my heart.
You were with your friends enjoying your girls night out, when their faces turned to mine and they took me for a thief because  i was all sweaty and dressed in rugs
Somehow you ignored them and listened to me when I asked you to.
We dawdled by the river side in the silence of the leaves adorably, sat by the river side admiring the stars and how the waters glinted with light.
Talking and laughing infectiously,
I saw perfection in you as I was already falling for you
I was desperate to make you mine that's why I sang you your favorite song.
I believed that day my life would be whole again.
A happier one than  before for I saw it in your eyes  
Unfortunately,  the wind of change passed by and carried you along without a goodbye
Was it an illusion that gave me those butterflies?
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 😥
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
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
What if

All we are living today is a story about our past that we are telling to someone
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
Life is meaningless sometimes
No definition to it especially if it's mixed with good and bad experiences
however, after so many years of exposure, we get our own definition of life
I'm talkative but crippled of words for they all seem heavy for my tongue to say .
It could be your beauty, your smile, your awesome character making me sink deeper into a wondering flow of love and emotions
I'm trapped on the rhythms of the love songs and making sure they play till the end for my unconditional love for you has to be revealed to the word.
God's greatest creation
Move me to your loving arms and cushion me from this evil world
Love me more like you do without fail
Serve me the biggest piece of cake like it's my birthday but  it's our birthday for this day brought you to my world and now we are one inseparable pair
We are like Siamese twins
Joined for life.
Like hand and glove made to fit.
Celebrate this day and may it be filled with bliss for I love to see you grow more and more and more.
Happy birthday darling
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
She said
"Solitude is bliss and that's why I have mastered the art of being a recluse" .

I looked at her
catching every nuance of expression
wondered what entangled her in thoughts of chagrin. She hated her life and she wished she had never been born.
This was a beautiful girl admired by every man in town.
Her eyes shone like diamonds
Her body was voluptuous and even the priests could fall for any temptation
Her curves were perfect like eight.
She was a **** adorable young girl I wanted for myself too.
But she was a woman with a broken heart
Who wanted space from anything that reminded her of her cruel past
So she ran away
People whose hearts bet broken sometimes want to be alone to heal and cut off all people in their lives because they don't want the pity and need to transition their lives from pain to smiling again
A tranquil soul won my heart without hesitation
Not a second would pass without thoughts  of her running in my mind
The remarkable bettle tones she sprayed on my body with her tender kisses
A wine so fine that still lingers my taste
I remember every beautiful moment
How you buttered my life and made it  sweet like honey.
I still put on the T-shirt you gave me on my 16th bd.
A photo of you and me is the memento that reminds me of how happy  we used to be .
I was such a **** to let you go.
Hell is the place that suits my actions
I'm so eager for judgment day to pay for all the pain I caused you
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
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
Yes
Yes
A beautiful sky beckons over you
And could come and kneel before you for the angel you are
Years seem easy to count like numbers but the good thing they keeping adding onto what you have
The Lord has seen you in all your endeavours
You have turned out to be the girl all men keeping vying for her attention
Grown to be someone words can't describe because you are amazing in all ways
Will a smile animate your face and make it beam like the sunrise
Will you stay pretty even when you turn grey
Will you have that beautiful heart to take us all in even with our annoying ways
Will you sound beautiful on the phone each time we talk
Will you give the world a beautiful child or even more
I hope the answer to all this is "YES"
Birthday poem to a friend
You
You
You've been counting days you've spent at home
I've been counting days I have missed seeing your face

You've been care free smiling and grinning
I have been praying you experience that happiness each day of your life

You've been singing songs most about love
I have been watching and wishing those were for my heart long as they brought no scars along

You've been taking photographs for your phone to keep
I've been wishing I were in those too

You've always sounded beautiful and sweet and sometimes I wished you were candy.

You've been looking beautiful
My looks have been fading

I was too silent but these feelings haunted me and I couldn't fight them

You  look beautiful in every photograph you take
I see the curves too where I wish my hands could fall whenever we hug

You've been quiet girl and I've been missing you
Lockdown taught us how we should cherish those around us when suddenly we couldn't travel and see them face to face but communicate through the phone
The love grew deeper
This poem tells the story for a lot others out there
You have the warm arms for me to run to when cold
Have the voice of cheer to always drive the wind of joy in my lungs
Have that beautiful smile to loosen the frown that edges  on my face and breathe life in me
That line of perfection drawn from your lips, eyes, hips, curves
That color of light to fade away the shadows that lie in my paths
You do have it all
When she seems perfect and complete to you.
Words that fit her description will always flow
Never at any one time will you be speechless for her looks will always make your  tongue speak
