WHISKEY & WHITNEY
Kunbi Dec 2020
I sat on top of the world; everyone knew my name
Now I try to find my way back, all I know is shame

My cars; crashed into parties, everyone wanted to be in my fancy wear
Why didn’t I look up investing and insuring; now I don’t mind if its rag, please just give me something to wear

My name was held in high esteem, white line called to me from Whitney’s rear
She never came back for me, but watched as I derail

Day and Night, I looked up to Whiskey, it became my religion
Now at the altar in search of salvation from the true religion

My Coping Mechanism (PAL)
Kunbi Feb 2020
You told me yourself that “little things to you matter”
Being around you I’ve unconsciously adapted that feeling when it comes to you.
You say these things and the side of my brain that usually never gets what it wants is being feed.
Building emotions on the words you say
Building emotions on originally empty words
You don’t do drugs but you parade it around an addict .
You are very aware I’m trying to dispose of my feelings for you.
Seeing you the way you see me
But you make it difficult every time you call out with “psst”
I don’t want to lose you, that is one awful big mistake.
I hope you get past your shyness and let me in
Or maybe... maybe you are just afraid you might lose me when you really open up on how you really feel.
I really wish you’ll stop playing games even when deep down I feel you enjoy it.
So talk to me or make my coping mechanism easy for me
Pal

STORM
Kunbi Dec 2018


SHE’S THE CALM AFTER THE STORM
SHE’S THE STORM ITSELF

I PURSUE NOT HER HEART
I PURSUE HER MIND

HER MIND IS LIKE QUICKSAND
IT WILL SWALLOW YOU WHOLE

THREAD CAREFULLY AND YOU MIGHT JUST ESCAPE FALLING IN LOVE WITH HER SOUL

Kunbi Jul 2019
You believe poet tell lies
Yes they do

You believe poet fantasize

You believe poet paint unrealistic imagination
Yes we all do

But I am here to tell you
I am here to tell you
I am here to tell you

I won’t lie to you

I’m definitely not here to sweet you up

Because

You will always be beautiful to me

THE ISLAND
Kunbi Dec 2019
Lost in my sanctuary
Might make it out eventually

Is this my reality ?
And my imagination is becoming a frivolity?

Questioning the existence of life that surrounds me
Rather I’m the one without life in me

Lost lost lost lust lust lust
In an island filled with unhealthy lust

WISHLIST
Kunbi Jan 2019
I want to make you cry

I want to make you smile

I want that after hug tear of joy staining my shirt

I want to feel your pain

I want to hear you laugh

I want you to breathe; breathe in this relieved air and have hope fill your lungs

I want to pick you up when you feel distressed

I want you to embrace and praise your flaws

I want to smell that happy scent cloistering your soul

I want you to be free

I need you to know GOD got US

CENTERPIECE
Kunbi Jan 2019
Heart so empty you need a centerpiece.
You always knew the piece to complete you.
But you rather contend for rues.
Than settling for inner peace.
  
Give yourself all the LOVE IN THE WORLD

NOW IT ENDS
Kunbi Mar 2019
Now it ends.
The lies and the deception.
Now it ends.
What I thought we really had, a connection?
Now it ends.
All the love and affection.
Now it ends.
Take your luggage and find a new destination.

All I wanted was to share your real emotions.
But you showed me you were more than just a distraction.
When you leave I hope my life recovers from this state of depression.

Now it ends.
Who you are.
Now it ends.
Who I am.
Now it ends.
My daily conception.

Leave my wretched soul because I am not giving you anymore attention.

I’m still trying to figure this out ......

So starting on a lighter note
Kunbi Sep 20
.


I once sent a picture saying “I am scared of you”

Although I’ve never stated this but I’m scared of the power you wield over me

Living in this nice delusional world is beautiful and all

But

When reality sets in I’ll be the biggest loser

I am not afraid to lose, I am ready to risk it all

But

What I fear is the despondent state this will leave me
Untouched yet unfit for anyone else

I can bounce back from anything

But

I can’t bounce back from you

This is why I hide from you

NOW IT ENDS (snippet)
Kunbi Feb 2019
Now it ends
All the lies
Now it ends
What we have
Now it ends
Who you are
Now it ends
Who I am
Now it ends
All the distraction
Now it ends
My daily conception
Just anticipate...

I guess

VOID
Kunbi Jul 2019
I’m nothing but an instrument to make you feel good about yourself
I’m nothing but a tool to make you feel powerful about your look

I’m nothing and the scenery is vague to you  
I’m nothing but I see us clearly

Huge impossibilities
Left daydreaming

I probably need an unraveller
But I push them away cause I’m nothing

I’m nothing but I enjoy this sickly state
I know I’m nothing and I still want to be here

I spake fruitful words
Took sincerity to what I might call home
But they bounced off walls

Held here all alone feeling loom
Did I endanger our fate
Did you play me all along

Did I lose faith
Where did it go wrong
I adored you; wait, I worshipped you
You were my god

You are always going to be you
I sit here searching for the good
But drowned in the misery
