Grand piano
Ezinne Jan 2021
Anger and pain in an instant all washed away,
My guilt and shame still decided to stay.

I hear it and I know I wouldn't
It calls me and I know I shouldn't.

I played it and let it play me.
I broke it, but I was the one who needed fixing.

Love and spotlight all fell at my feet,
Glory and praise all thrown at it.

Beautiful and majestic it sounds.
But within its soul, anxiety and insecurity clouds.

Once you start to play, there's no turning back.
Don't lose your focus and remember to stay on track.

Give into its sounds but ignore its calls.
This day I mark before you all.

Play wisely....
Everyone has their own way of reliving stress. My own way is music, and writing. This as well is my favorable instrument, and I desperately want to understand it and play it.

Nigeria at 60(A DARK AGE)
Ezinne Oct 2020
It was a sorrowful night,
As our youths filled the streets with flags,
Experiencing the discomfort of independence.

To every soul that night,
Our leaders attached a price tag.
Out we came seeking for peace,
Not wanting to fight,
But our request for peace is seen as a threat to our so called leaders.

The eagle weak,
The horses worthless,
The boutique of flowers withered,
The fertile soil barren,
The wavy black path ******.
A moment of silence,  
To all our heroes who passed on for justice.

To us who sees these days,
Days when misery is made easily from sorrow,
Speak of these dark age as history.

60 years weaker and of the worst age.
Multiplicity and Hopelessness,
Violence and Regress,
All on a dark age.

Royalty
Ezinne Apr 2020
Before I want you
I have to need you,
Before I want your love
I have to be your number one,
Before I get to keep you
I gonna have to treat you like royalty.

My hero
Ezinne Feb 2020
Stronger than superman,
Smarter than iron man,
Braver than batman,
He who holds the key to my heart.

You catch me when I fall,
You hold my hand and lead me out of the darkness,
An old,bitter and lonely soul,
You transformed to a new,sweet and happy soul,
This I say from the bottom of my heart ,
A model I look up to you as.

My sunlight in daytime,
My moonlight in night time,
I never want to loose you ,
Not in this would or the next.

Can you feel where the wind blows,
Can you feel it flowing through,
No day goes by and a thought of you does my mind not go through,
Can't live without my hero.

Whenever I need someone to talk too,
You're there,
Whenever I need someone to hold on too,
You're there,
You're someone i never wish to loose,
You're someone who owns a special place in my heart,
Forever I cherish you deep in my soul,
MY HERO....

Saved by a mother
Ezinne Feb 2020
Everyone longed to hear the thoughts of the sky,
And see the sun once again smile,
To feel the essence of life ,
Forever into the light they wish to dive.


But once again darkness overcame,
A sickness with no cure,
Fear black,
Blood red,
True love wanted by all,
For hope so far lost we fall asleep,
Into our dreams gone so deep.


Like a fire burning in the dark rain,
Trying to stand high knowing it would no longer shine again,
Suddenly she arrives,
Everyone looking up to the sky,
Joyful they laugh and play,
Slowly darkness fades away,
Slowly sadness goes away.


Bright to their sight,
Life again comes out to fight,
With the love of a mother,
The light becomes stronger,
Hurray!!!
Hurray!!!
Hurray!!!
Once again a small town is saved by the love of a mother.

Grownups
Ezinne Feb 2020
You say I call to frustrate,
Listen let's get this straight,
Last week we had a big fight,
The following day u got on ur next flight,
I still call for us to make up,and u decide to ignore,
Let's give this **** up,
And settle these as grownups.

Everytime I say sorry, u never want to worry,
I drown in your own guilt on which u built,
After all you ****** up by calling my exes up,
Me you wrong,
Still am strong,
This has gone on for so long,
Please show you care,
I guess am the grownup here.

I love you
I need you
I miss you
I just need you to grow......up.

Patience
Ezinne Mar 2020
To my work I pour out my heart,
My soul starting to loose control,
My moments I spend quiet,
I long to stare into tomorrow.

Silent hours ,faster it passes me by,
Day and night, I wait for my moment,
Spring and summer, autumn and winter ,
None stopped to say hi.

I won't hesitate
I won't doubt
I won't worry about failing
I won't worry about falling
I was born for this
I am gonna succeed

No matter  how long it take,
It's just a matter of time.

Sad
Ezinne Apr 2020
Sad
A face with a smile
Inside hope lies ,

A tear with emotions
Sets out a path with motions,

A room of truth,
held strong  with darkness

Fear told untitled as a lie,
Burning waves and forgotten cries

Men sing from a dark empty soul,
To hide reality and dream a fantasy.

Truth
Ezinne Jul 2020
Am sorry  I hurt you,
Am sorry  I failed to comfort you,
Am sorry  I ignored you,
Am sorry I failed to speak when I was told to,

Am sorry my faithfulness and loyalty weren't pleasing enough,
Am sorry I failed to fight back,
Because I wasn't brave enough.

But one thing am not sorry for,
Is telling you the truth.

Truth that you're rude,
Mean,
Heartless,
Arrogant,
Flamboyant,

And truth that you are of no value to me.
It hurts to be left out

I own you
Ezinne Sep 2020
I'm a monster in your head,
Never was I under your bed,
You can run, but me you can't escape

Hide if you must
Sleep if you will,
Your fears remains forever my strength,
In your dreams, you I await

Alone
Ezinne Feb 2020
Left alone in a dark room,
Left alone to suffer in my own pain,
Hours I spend thinking,
Days I spend crying,
Months I spend regretting,
Years I spend dying,


Times often seems annoying,
Every second,
Every minute,
Every hour, every day,
My heart weaken,
My soul dying,
My body wilthering,
Am lost in my own mind,
Am lost in my own world,
Don't wanna be left alone,
Is anybody out there.


See I was raised in a way that nothing good comes from life,
I was to young to understand what it means,
Where hope is found ,there lies life
All that got me thinking,

Alone in this room left me broken,
Some days I was through with hoping,
Now my empty arms are open,
Alone waiting for love,


I burn like a fire running out wide,
I can't thank my stars because they all left me behind,
Another day coming to an end,
I guess am gonna be alone tonight  again,
I'll be waiting for love
Alone again.

Scared
Ezinne Feb 2020
Scared deep in my shadows,
Scared I would die alone,
Still no soul to follow,
Have I truly lost control.

Scared in the day time,
Scared in the night time,
My spirit died playing whisper,
Never was i prone to suffer.

A wild universe with golden shadows,
Skies turn stories to sorrows,
Crying baby born quiet till tomorrow,
Burning Summer,
Silent oceans,
Walking waves,
Memory called lonely,
This I call poetry.

— The End —
