Some one to call a friend
I called you a friend
The first time I saw you
I saw smoking cloud
I should have known right then
You were digging my grave
But I was deceive by your heavenly smile

A friend
I told you my secret
You uncover me up
You saw my progress
You broke it

A friend
Should I call you my enemy?
Should I call you my friend?
Or what should i call you?
Fraudulently, humbug
impostor, mountebank

My Eccedentesiast
I speak to the sky, despite what they say.
''They say the sky doesn't hear you, old woman.''
I’m not old; my hair was shaved to fulfill a custom demand.
I climb the hill barefooted, with tears in my heart's sight.

I see what others miss; I see perfection in the sky's embrace.
Beauty that's found perfection in my vision's space
Yesterday, I spoke to the sky—not to cry, not to wet Mother Earth with tears.
But to sing as a symbol of sacrifice, to make the sky hear my horn

I'm outside my hut, washing with ashes and stones.
For three days, there has been no sun, just cloudiness and mourning.
But I knew today would bring the sun's warm rays.
I begged the sky to shine, to shine so bright.
To take the sun high, to shine on the mountain

I rinsed my soapy clothes in the gentle fountain stream.
And spread them on the mountain.
I was told not to mix my agony with others's pain.
I never picked this fate; I never wanted it.
I'm the mother of a dead husband whose child looks through windoms.
A constant reminder of the love, loss, joy, and sorrow we endure.
I grieve for my aborted fetus, a pain that never fades.
But still, I'll keep speaking to the sky, despite doubts and fears that invade.

Eye

Eye
So bright so beautiful
And Colourful
That eye that kept everyone talking
Just want to know the painter
What colour is it?
Should i say green?
NO, lemon
You got it wrong
Emerald,Pear or shamrock..


In your eye
I can see fresh watery
Lemon Grass
I can see exuberant
Tell me what make it so prepossessing

Have found love
Have found a lover
Love is Anywhere
Love at the hospital
Waiting for the doctors report
Facing each other bed to bed
loves germinate
Sometimes love drives you crazy
I'm in an ocean of love
Let me sink

Have found love
Where is the perfect place to find love?
I don't care where love drive me to
Just drive me safe
Take me away from troubles
Take me away from pains
Just a moment with my lover
I forgot am in an hospital
I forgot I got cancer
Kiss my forehead
I promise never to shower it away
I  feel like a baby
when am with you

The best way to be in love
is love
loving you back
I feel know regret
I feel know sadness
I want a silent moment with my lover
Know talking
Know thinking
Just you and i
Wrap you arms around me
I only wish for one thing before I am gone
Just stay with me
Hold my hands
And promise never to cry
Please promise

Oh my my
What have you done wrong?
What have you done to mankind?
Oh my sweet lover
Look at your helpless body
How had I known
How wish I have known
You never did anything wrong
I can till smell the fresh grape of your body
It smells like hibiscus
Then give my lover sadness
And he shall turn it to joy
Given him a broken heart
And he shall make it his companion unbroken
But never give my lover a woman
Because he those not know what to do with her
Honey can not be compare to the way my lover taste
In my lover eye you see rainbow
We were both stupid drunk
Oh love is intoxicating
I was left for dead but
You were taking by dead
What have you done to the children
Of Adam?
Neither do you part take from the fruit
I was his ***** and he was my Gomorrah

If being who I am was a sin
Tell the sun not to shine on me
Seize the air
Cast away the moon
But if you can't do that
Then let us toxicate in love

If being who I am was an abomination
Turn the day to night
And turn the night
To mid-day
Turn water to blood
And turn blood to tears
Then banned my lover and I
If this was heaven
Then give me hell
My lover is dead
I can till feel the hot rod
That was place in between his leg
I can feel his pain
I can hear your blood screaming
I wish I was able to safe you
I wish I could defend you

Being who I am
Why was your manhood cut off?
Why are they fighting for God?
Did God send them?
Judge not neither shall you be judge

If being who i am
The rain was unfriendly
The storm over cloud my lover voice
I could only see my lover with pain
Is this my lover?
Why was manhood replace by hot iron rod?
Who could hear my darling scream for help?
The rain and thunder was also a supporter
Of his dead
If not why should the rain fall
And thunder strike
Who should I tell?
Who should I cry too?
Nobody were dare to help
Some watch him stab
Some watch him cry
Some watching him beg
Are will not suppose to be our brothers Keeper?
The so called religious people
The so called homophobia
What an abomination?

If being who I am was a judge
I will sue the rain that keep raining
The rain that watch away my lover blood
If i were to sue
I will not hesitated to jail the striking
Thunder
I will sue the storm
That made everyone indoor
But what judgement would I give the killers
Oh what judgement would befit them
I will Let their conscious
Be their judge
What will i gain from revenge?
I will forgive them
For they don't know what their doing

If being who I am was a sin
Then leave me for God
As they have left me for dead
Neither you or I are righteous
To judge my sin
If loving the same *** was an abomination
It better you cast me into the deepest part of hell
That could not stop me for loving my darling
If ***** and Gomorrah were destroyed
For this
Then the whole world should be destroy
Because the world as done more evil than
*****

This is who will are
We did not ask for this
Neither did my lover and l decide this fate
It is plan in our mother womb
It was analysis before
We were brought to this world

This is who will are
Nothing as change
Your corpse smell
Like fresh morning wine
Your face as white as snow
Your skin as tender as the day you were born
You look more alive than dead
Nobody were here to witness your funeral
But you never mind
That smile that drove me crazy the first time I saw you
That was did same smile
I saw now in your coffin
Just tell me?
How come you keep that smile?
I can till remember that lovely night
At the club
Before we were ambush
You said if I were to die ,I die by you
I wish I never force you out
What should I tell my our unborn child
Of a surrogate mother?
That I was the killer of their father

This is who will shall be
Am thousands in one
Am hundred in one
This funeral is perfect
Just me and you
Funeral like marriage
What if today was the D-day?
You smile a lot
Are you really dead?
They say the dead can speak if we listen
They can hear us if we pour out our heart
Just know you are only six feet away
From me
Make sure you wait for me
Never find another lover
Prepare a place for us
I might come very soon
By then we live to separate no more
Rest my darling
Fresh rose flower is coming tomorrow
The poem is about a gay couple's who were ambush on there home.
That did society we live...everything is threat
But the ant and flies are threat to human, so how homosexual an abomination that need to destroy but the forgot that they are human . human with flesh, blood,mind and though....that the world we live in

If I were a painter, I will paint you on the surface of water.
I will paint your love on the sky, so everybody that looks up knows you are mine.
I will use my brush and color to express the expressible.

If I were an artist, I will sketch your beauty on walls.
I will draw you on sand, so no one walks on it.

If I were a hunter, I will hunt the sweetest meat for you.
My back will be your ride; I will worship you.
You eat the best part of my game.

If I were a Goldsmith, you be the first to taste the work of my hand.
You would be showered with jewelry; yours is to name it, and mine is to command.

If I were to be a king, I will make you my queen.
When I die, you be my successor; you be the one to rule while I am on the throne.

If I were to be your husband, you suffer no more.
Do not worry about the house choir; what am I here for, my darling?

If I were to be a priest or prince, the rain will not fall on you, neither will the sun smite you.
I will bring the stars of the sky to you; I will command the moon to shine on your way.
Anybody that passes without greeting will be beheaded; I will not pardon the flies, neither will I pardon the mosquito.
Every living thing must know that you are mine.
Eh! You, yes, you!
I've got questions to ask. What can you do for freedom?
What do you call loneliness?

When no one cuddles you and wakes you up in the morning,
No gentle kiss on the forehead,
No shared leftovers,
Is it loneliness or freedom?

The silence is spreading.
A dropped pin echoes through the room.
Fear intrudes on your mind at night.
No one to hold, no one to soothe.

Words are too heavy for the heart to carry.
But there's no one to listen.
The coffee mug remains untouched.
The cookie was unbreakable and unshared.

Is it loneliness or freedom?
The bed remains unrumpled.
The sofa stares back, empty and new brand.
A lottery win, a bottle of wine,
But there is no one to celebrate with.

The daily routine repeats,
solitary existence.
Just you and your mind
Is this freedom, or am I lonely?

Laughter echoes, a haunting sound.
Perhaps I need a pet, not a human body.

I wish, I wish, I wish
Once upon a time, as the story was told
A very funny, serious story
I wish I wasn't there to hear it
I wish I didn't come back from the ****** war
I wish I was dead
I wish I didn't leave home
I wish I stayed with her
I would be called a Coward
Why Coward? For not fighting for my country

I wish I didn't meet her
I wish, I wish, I wish
I always wish
As beautiful as a peacock, fresh as a morning breeze
Calm as a dove, the love of my life
Was she dead or alive?
Was she worried about me?
Why didn't she tell me she was going on a trip?
A trip of unknown destination
Why! Why!!

I wish I could change the hand of the clock
I wish I could tell her how much I love her
I wish I didn't yell at her
I wish I listened to her
I wish I had solved the issue
I wish, I wish, I wish
My wish could come true

What a stupid war
What happened to my love?
Can you come back to me?
Have I turned a new leaf?
Talking to a dead rose
As dead as she is
Smells like fresh Rosary's
Skin as smooth as ever
But my wish can never come true
My love has rested in Abraham's *****?

I woke up this morning
joyfully happily
The only though that runs through
My mind is you

Let be naught
Let get drunk and play stupid
Let feel the intoxication
No communication
Let screen till both knockoff

Let be naught
I wanna do everything with you
The **** of love is burning down my throat
******* off
Pant off
boxer off
and braless
Let be naught serious for once
It feels good

Oh, my sweet lover, what have they done to you?
What have they done to mankind?
Look at your helpless body, how could I have known?
I can still smell the fresh grape of your skin, like hibiscus.

Give my lover sadness, and he shall turn it to joy.
Give him a broken heart, and he shall make it his companion, unbroken.
But never give my lover a woman, for he knows not what to do with her.
Honey cannot be compared to the way my lover tastes.
In my lover's eyes, you see a rainbow.

We were both stupid, drunk on love.
Oh, love is intoxicating!
I was left for dead, but you were taken by death.

What have you done to the children of Adam?
Neither do you partake from the fruit.
I was his *****, and he was my Gomorrah.
If being who I am was a sin, tell the sun not to shine on me.

Seize the air, cast away the moon.
But if you can't do that, then let us intoxicate in love.
If being who I am was an abomination, turn day to night and night to mid-day.
Turn water to blood and blood to tears.
Then banish my lover and me.

If this was heaven, then give me hell.
My lover is dead; I can still feel the hot rod placed between his legs.
I can feel his pain; I can hear his blood screaming.
I wish I could have saved you; I wish I could have defended you.

Being who I am, why was your manhood cut off?
Why are they fighting for God? Did God send them?
Judge not, lest you be judged.
If being who I am was a sin, then leave me for God, as they have left me for dead.

Neither you nor I are righteous enough to judge my sin.
If loving the same *** was an abomination, then cast me into the deepest part of hell.
That cannot stop me from loving my darling.
If ***** and Gomorrah were destroyed for this, then the whole world should be destroyed.

This is who we are; we did not ask for this.
Neither did my lover and I decide this fate.
It was planned in our mother's womb; it was analyzed before we were brought to this world.

Your corpse smells like fresh morning wine.
Your face is as white as snow; your skin is as tender as the day you were born.
You look more alive than dead.
Nobody was here to witness your funeral, but you never mind.

That smile that drove me crazy the first time I saw you, that same smile I saw now in your coffin.
Just tell me, how could you keep that smile?
I can still remember that lovely night at the club before we were ambushed.
You said if you were to die, you would die by me.
I wish I never forced you out.

What should I tell our unborn child, of a surrogate mother?
That I was the killer of their father?
This is who we shall be: a thousand in one, a hundred in one.
This funeral is perfect, just me and you.
Funeral like marriage, what if today was the D-day?
You smile a lot; are you really dead?

They say the dead can speak if we listen; they can hear us if we pour out our hearts.
Just know you are only six feet away from me.
Make sure you wait for me; never find another lover.
Prepare a place for us; I might come very soon.
By then, we shall live to separate no more.
Rest, my darling; fresh rose flowers are coming tomorrow.
I stand in the middle of a fence, yet to drop down.
A hombre of grace on my left, a duchess of heavenly smile on my right
I embody everything that brings peace
That brings intoxicating of grape sweet wine.
This is not a war; there's no winner or loser.
This is me, and this is how I feel about myself.

My sexuality should not be measured; it is not a commodity.
I'll love whoever my heart desires.
I shall pick from these two worlds.
I stand
No stereotypes, no choices—my love won't be debated.

My love won't be denied by you.
I'm who I say I am; I'm unapologetic, I'm proud, and I'm flawless.
Let's smash the calabash of lies and do away with stereotyping.
The B is not a joke; it's its own identity.

Let fold arms
And stare at each other
Or let tell the truth with arms
open
Dead is a good thing
Dead is  wonderful
Dead is compulsory
Dead is universe
Dead is painful
But the other hand is a good thing
Dead make's us strong
Tell me why is dead wicked?
We all pray for someone to die
Sometimes dead gives us a reason to smile
Dead is acceptable
Dead is a challenge
Dead is a challenge
Dead is the reason why we live again
Seeking**

The Goddess of Longevity visited me this cold night.
Telling my future and my old time,
Her hair as snow, pure as a baby's heart,
And nails so long and sharp that they crash out the skull of a human.

You shall live long, till hair turns grey,
Teeth fall out, and ******* sag with age's sway.
I asked, 'Will wealth be mine?' She replied with a smile,
I am Eternity's goddess, not Fortune's guile.
I bless my kind with what people die of having.
I'm here to bless you with eternity, not riches.

Then Beauty's goddess appeared, a divine vision:
You shall be fabulous and youthful till the day you die.
Again, I asked, 'Will riches come my way?'
She laughed, 'I am Beauty's goddess, not Fortune's sway.'
She added, "You be sweet as honey, as enjoyable as wine.
You will live all your life in a youthful body.
A thousand men would fall beneath your feet, asking for your hand in marriage.
Your beauty would drive kings and queens crazy.
You will be put on the throne, and you will rule."

Fortune's goddess knocked, her eyes like starry skies.
Round her neck is the whitest cowry I've ever set my eyes on;
Her cloth is made of gold and diamond stones of different colours that no one has ever seen.
Though blind to the future, she saw my inner guise.
I said to myself, If only she had the eye to see her blessing, she is.
You hold greatness within; use it with gentle might.
Riches will take root, not departure.

She offered me choices, symbols of fortune's light.
But I refused, seeking knowledge beyond mortal sight.
And so the Goddess of Knowledge appeared in her light.
Warning me, 'Knowledge cuts both ways; use it with gentle care.'

I woke up the next day, full of knowledge and inspiration that I'm unable to control.
I watch my hand holding the pen, writing as it comes.
I'm knowledge, I'm beauty, and I'm longevity.
I'm possessing all within.
I'm all except patience

It's funny how the world changes so fast in the blink of an eye.

Yesterday, you were She.

I was crazy in my delusions thinking about you.

I think you can be mine, and I can be yours.

And today you are He.

But that will never stop the way I feel about you.

I think I find comfort in knowing you find yourself.

I think finding yourself has brought me comfort.

My heart never changed.

My feelings never unwavering.

Your's faithfully

Your secret admirer

#Marixbell
Roll me a joint, and I'll bring you happiness.
Light me, and I shall be the greatest smell of the day.
Then pop me off, and I'll pull into your new realities.
The sky is never the limit.
You're now swimming in your own diluted solution.

The day I die
Before I died,
I want to go to the bar and drink beers with
My hommie
I don't want to die a ******.
I want to see my grandchildren, if I have one.
I want to know the exact day I am going to die.
The code dress should be white Or pink.
It was a funeral, not a disaster.
The day I diedIt would be a sad day.
But remember, it was my funeral, not yours.
No crying or long face
Order the best meal in the world.
I want to be buried in a coffin made of gold and diamonds.
Don't forget to bury me in my favourite clothes.
Italian wine And a silver cupAfter I die,Wake me up with a fresh rose.
Clean my buried ground.
Don't forgethow good I am to the world.
if I am not, Just pretend I am.

Am going on a ride to the beach
We gonna ride across the bridge
I will fetch the sea
I will ship to sail
I promise not to kiss
The male sailors
I promise not to fail
I will pick a lot of shell
A lot more to sell
What a bliss
To miss
A wonderful kiss
Kiss my lips
My lips never lies
And let lie
I promise to wake you up
When the ship sails
This thing called love,
Innocent and guilty,
Free and debt,
Strong and weak,
Happiness and tears.

A mystery to me,
Devouring my true nature,
And turning me into a simple being.

Is it what we feel,
Or what we design our hearts to desire?
Right now, I feel betrayed and left out,
Wondering why it hurts so badly.

Why is my heart both heavy and light?
When I try to do the right thing,
Nothing seems to work, day and night.

Why do people mock and deceive?
Why can't they see the beauty in my heart?
This feeling, my body can't take anymore.
This feeling inside is bigger than mere words,
A burning, wide flame,
Yet cold and lukewarm, hard to tame.

I'm lost, unable to control,
Afraid of becoming colder still.
Your words, I don't see,
Your voice, too shallow to understand.

This thing called love, not for the weak-hearted.
I'll stay calm and mute, if possible,
Though feeling numb,
Trying to make sense of it all, somehow.

I'm not waiting for your love.
When the boat of the lost comes,
I'll sail along.

How charming can a bottle of wine and a glass be,
For living my best life? The grape is small and gentle,
Harmless, yet it can turn into something profound.

In my hand, I hold a grape, always welcome.
On the bed, I'm the little thing that crawls down your chest gently.
Same me, in the middle of your lips, a call of deduction.

When you smash me with your feet, extract my juice, and store me,
I still ferment to your taste.

I'm a therapist when you've been in moody situations.
Happy mood! You bought me to celebrate.
Bad mood, here I come. Perfect for that beat of tears.

You need me to get over a divorce,
To celebrate your good news.
Is somebody dead? You'll need more than a bottle.

I can be your comfort when you need me,
And also be trouble.

You
----YOU------**


You, do you feel what feels?
Do you hear what I hear?
You woke up one morning,
Sun smiling at you.
The atmosphere was what you desired most,
But inside you were blank,
Sad, moody, and unhappy.
All you could feel was hatred.

You took a walk to the street,
To clear your empty head.
At some point, you sat down to think,
What was wrong with you?
You can't tell or explain,
What the hell is wrong with you.
Everything was perfect,
The late-night ***,
The good morning coffee,
But something has changed.

— The End —
