Here we are
living 1000 miles apart
Not an inch away
In the soul

Threads in the yarn of connections loosing each day
No one can be compared to you
Lame is your middle name
No idea how is your life pouring
No idea how much fun you are having
Without me

Each other's secrets
Guarded in each other's pandora box
Everything known from first names to first crush

The way you bob your head side to side
While dancing and snapping fingers
The way you brought muffins for breakfast every day
No matter what
The way you shook the chalk while writing on the chalkboard looking for ink
I find every dumbest thing you've done funny, Nigeria

Panting

I felt myself drowning
Reaching the surface for air
In the ocean of teardrops
I shed waiting for you

You and I

You and I have lived a million lives
You and I have died a million deaths
I've been the sweet dream
You've been the nightmare

If teardrop could be pooled,
there'd be an ocean of sorrow
The nostalgic memories are lost where,
I wonder.
Now I've found them drowning here

I better should have known what you had given me was a double edged sword named love
You and I have lived a million lives
You and I have died a million deaths

Screaming is all I hear

Screaming is all I can hear
Shouting from here
Curses from there
The room is locked
And my homework is in there
But its due tomorrow
I need to get it done or I 'll stand out of class tomorrow
I stood patiently,
Holding nana's hand
Expecting the door to burst open any moment
Shh it's gonna be ok
Nana said
I didn't believe her
But I wanted to
Oh how badly I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs to stop shouting and hide in my bedroom
It's been 8 years and I still want to do that

Thornless rose

Dare you not
Get lost in the labyrinth of black petals of secret
Encircling the surreptitious illusion

Thorns shielding are long gone
As vulnerable as glass
Waiting for the twig to break
Any time soon

Exquisite to some
Negative to others
Evanscent, kind, fragrance longing to last
Just a moment longer each second

Dare you not
Mistake the dark hue
And deceive yourself into think
There are no walls differentiating
The upteen dried scars

Dare you not
Mistake me dead

Gone like smoke

Faded memories of you calling me names bring me back to life
They hit me like freezing winds in the winter
Nostalgia fills me when someone calls me the name you called
I wish it were you instead of them

I curse at the little time we had
when I was too young to gather my thoughts
Abstract disjointed scenes of us play in front of me like a movie
A movie I would wish to never end

When people close to you talk to me,
I realize another time what I have greatly lost
Why in the world did they more time with you than I had with you?
That's unfair
Life should have made us cross paths earlier

Tell me how to breathe in this unfamiliar world
Now that my world is gone
******* with you
Make me what you and your abstract disjointed memories do
Grow fainter and fainter like smoky thin air and then pfft....be gone

Love like stars

Winking pearls in the ocean of darkness called sky remind me of my world
Winking pearls in the ocean of darkness remind me of you
We held our hands tightly together and looked up and smiled
You pointed to a line of shinning diamonds and told me it was an Orion's belt

Three exquisite white beads stood out amongst the million others
Just like the way you stood out amonst the million others
The beautiful silence under these twinkling stars bring back your words
Our bond is just like the universe - infinite, you said
Absolutely just like it
The universe and our bond will forever and ever be infinite
Also you vanished into thin air just like the stars

Funny thing about stars
You still see them years after they are gone
Just like the way I see you
