Never fall in love with a poet
For you might forget your true self
Cos they paint a different picture of you
And make you feel like someone else

Is it true or is it lies?
How can you truly know?
They give you a taste of the high
So when they leave, you’re really low

They tell you things you never heard
And even words you can’t pronounce
They make you fall real deep
And then they expect you to bounce

Never fall in love with a poet
Or you’d have to put their heart together
Their broken heart belongs to someone else
And Some pieces would be gone forever
Never fall in love with a poet. By Moore

Game of Love
met an angel about a couple weeks ago, turns out her choker was a disguise for her halo. there's a war in her heart and it's a thing of beauty. she said i gotta fight for her love and that's my call of duty. her boy thought he was the god of war and he could disrespect us. so i put that lord in the ring now she watching her ex(x) box. she asked 'you a player or a baller?' she said show me your true colors. i said yeah, but i'm in a game boy where it's more advanced than colors. i make beauty in six seconds like the vine app. i make something out of nothing now it's your turn, what can your mind(mine) craft? she said it's too busy harboring demons, there's not a thing that's given her life meaning. but i came along and like i'm a hitman in her mind, I killed the demon inside just so the devil may cry. And then we kissed, and I found out that cupid is just a drunk teenager playing arrow ambush with my back. We kissed again and I felt the next 30 years of my life, then i looked into your eyes and saw the year 2048 and all the other years after the first 30, those years we have to find our uncharted feelings. let me be the  Nathan to your Drake. Leave me clues to find the treasure you have hidden in you.

Beautiful African
your hair might not be as long or as soft and can't be stroked but nothing beats strong and short on a chocolate skin. if the eyes are the windows to the soul then take those window blinds you call contacts off. Let me into your real life let me see the color of your real eyes and realize where the real lies and that's in your beautiful soul. they say black is the devil's color and I don't think that's right, cos you're all angels high off your melanin overdose spread your wings and fly. they say beauty lies in the beholder's eyes, but even your beauty is felt by the blind. we are children of God and we have heavenly bodies. so people should know that our weather is not the only thing that makes us hot. We are the nicest people you'd ever meet. fun fact: Afri actually means not cold, maybe that's why we're hot and not cold. Africans are beautiful.

Solar Sex
started out talking thought our conversations were temporary, then you sat next to me got me hotter than Mercury. took you to the corner hope your boy ain't seen us, say she love me but she used to curve me like Serena and Venus. didn't even kiss her lips I kissed her neck first, my **** out put it in her mouth felt like I left earth. we made love on the moon and we slept on stars, she slept on me and I slept on her. she begged for my Milky Way with her hot chocolate heavenly body so it's safe to say that I slept on Mars. wake up on the red bed with a red head, go to the kitchen we on the sink and I tell her to bend. I make her scream and the other planets runaway from fear, not only Mila Kunis could make Jupiter ascend. I told her 'I wasn't looking for love but Either ways I found it, let me treat your finger like Saturn put a ring all around it.' Then I asked her 'can I put it in your ****?' she said 'Guy that's disgusting

Legends and Goddesses
I met a girl today, she was pretty legendary. she had batteries for eyes and metal for skin so anytime she touched me I felt a spark. I exaggerate a lot but she really had wings on her shoes cos she looked like she wasn't touching the ground. face like Aphrodite, mind of a god and the body structure of a goddess, she makes me wonder if heavenly bodies are found only in outer space. I guess I can actually say she's out of this world. she's got da Vinci fingers for teeth cos every time she smiles it's pure art. so you see, she was pretty legendary. I wanna meet her again and see how deep she is and I'm not talking about our conversations. I wanna plant rose seeds in the creeks of her lips so every time she cries and the flowers grow, she'd remember who put them there. let me be the reason you laugh and the reason your tears cease, the reason you're happy and the reason you're not sad. let me make you smile, unlike Arsenal I won't let you down.

To tame a wild thing
she said she wanted to try something new with me. she said it's called friends with benefits and she wanted the physical thrills without catching the emotional feels, so everytime I made her rain she won't have to fall. I agreed to those terms knowing my emotions are like a car without a steering wheel, can't be controlled and doomed to end up a mess. so I embarked on a journey with a tattoo map on her skin and a torch in her eyes that can only be turned on by soft kisses on the right places. soon she got naked, and I cld feel the shortage of oxygen in the room cos she was breath taking. she consumed so much gas that I had to wonder how she still drives me crazy. she wanted to be a wild child, but little did she know that beneath my stomach lies a drug and she got addicted. and with every fix, every soft kiss she felt bliss she caught feels I saw it in her eyes and she couldn't quit cos the emotions she disliked made her feel so alive. I knew I'd regret but I didn't care cos I tamed a beast that was wild.

Always and Forever
always means everytime and forever doesn't end and I promise to love you everytime without ending. They say the world is upside down, so I guess falling (for you) is my only way Into heaven. I'm a seven you are a ten maybe that's why we can't be together. and I'm so negative without you cos that happens when you subtract 10 from 7. No matter what happens I'd always think we're soul mates. cos you always drive me crazy but you have one too many toll gates. our deep fights would always end up with gives right? you always loved to scream like you're watching a horror movie at midnight. back to the topic of discussion which is eternal love, you might act like you hate me now but I cld still feel your internal love. that's one thing I love about you you really couldn't hide things from me. like when they used to call you a ***** I assured you its cos you're hot not cos you're sunny. one thing I'm sure of is that you changed me for the better, and that's why no matter what happens I'd love you always and forever.

Angels and Beaches
I always write about beautiful girls and compare them with the cheesiest things. but today I write about the woman that has made the most impact in my life. It may sound metaphorical when I say 'without her there's no me' but trust me I've never told a greater truth. On my first day of school I was asked if I lived with a parent or a guardian and I said guardian cos even though you couldn't fly you had the traits of an angel. when I felt too high for you, you ground me. anytime I lost myself, you found me. when I felt ugly, you made sure you styled me. when the times got rough, you filed me. fact is you groomed me into the man I've become, feels like my whole life I watched you go to the beach early in the morning cos all you wanted was to see the rising of your son. prepared me for the day I find another woman and look into her eyes and say I've found the one. the one I want to spend the rest of my life with but till that day comes, I'd still be the little boy who doesn't believe he has a mum but a guardian angel.

thank you

To my darling wife
I promise to never stop loving you. if I got fifty naira every time I said that line then I would have bought you the car you always wanted. but if I got fifty naira everytime I meant that line, all I'd be able to buy is a bottle of Pepsi with 25cl for my mother and 25cl for today. since I'm more of a Coke guy I might not buy that drink but rather will I pay a biker to ride me to your house so I could tell you three words or turn into a wolf and howl it. better yet, I could just write the words on the moon so when it's full not only the wolves would remind you that I love you. speaking of heavenly bodies, how is your mum doing? a wise man said a husband is the only man that would see your flaws and still think you're absolutely perfect. but it's quite hard for me cos she's actually flawless. they say you are not a man until you find your wife and though I never knew my father, I'm sure he'd be proud of the man you have made me today.

From across the room
from across the room you caught my gaze and my heart raced. I stared at your stunning dress because beauty had never been more beautiful and all I could think about was you in a wedding dress and me as the groom. so I went to the bathroom to see If I looked good enough to approach you, but I've never been good at looking good enough and I knew I just had to talk to you. so I went to you with confidence but as soon as I reached you my lips became like a newly married couple and didn't want to let go of each other, words found comfort in my throat and didn't want to leave, a complete sentence couldn't come out because I could just stare at you for a life time and it still wouldn't be enough. the moment I switched back to reality and got these words out, all I could ask was 'what's your name'. you asked for mine too but I didn't have a name at that point because you look like a girl nobody can get so I might as well be a nobody. but I still said 'Moore'. then I looked over every inch of your face and thought to myself '****, not even one flaw'. they say the best things in life are free so I decided not to pay you any attention but still I regretted not spending all my time on you.

Thieves
I met a girl once.
and man she was breathtaking. she wasn't the kind to model or act but ****, she was breathtaking. she didn't have the best maskara or lipstick on but when I kissed her, it felt like she absorbed all my problems slowly until my only problem was how to keep her close to me at all times. I knew that the only thing I could do was create an equation to calculate the distance between us then when we hit the perfect 0 I'll multiply it by infinity. the first thing she stole from me was my heart, but I had to let her go cos the only evidence I had were these feelings and the judge and jury were like lonely paralyzed people, they just couldn't feel anything. She stole from me again, no pun intended but she stole my breath right under my nose which was easy for her cos my lungs couldn't find a heart to supply air to, cos she had that too. She was a good crook and she only stole pennies and cents in hope that she could change what I think about her . But she didn't. I still think she's breathtaking.

love and quantum physics
She wears ripped jeans when she's cold and orange sweaters in the summer and still I love her. I have this quantum physics kind of love for her, I don't understand it but I know it makes perfect sense. the only thing I've learnt from dating is: The same love that breaks us is the same love that makes us and no matter how much you try you'll come back to the same spot you were before the break up. in simple terms, feelings never completely vanish. because energy can neither be created nor destroyed same goes to emotions. energy can only change from one form to another, same goes to emotions. is it cheesy if I say you're my universe? or if I want to show you the world does that mean I just have to put a mirror in front of you? that has to be a big *** mirror. I know sloths are slow but my life is an Unau right now, it starts and ends the same way, with you. and I'm happy.

Letter to Sandman
Dear Sandman,
All you had to do was bring the cat out of the bag, and the little girl would have known she would be kidnapped, and *****, she would have avoided going to the supermarket at 7: 30pm on Sunday and maybe one day, she would have been something in life. but you decided to keep that secret, and now that she's grown are you happy that she sleeps with every man she could find that gives her money she could feed with. Sandman, you knew, you knew that she was gonna meet that man who would steal her heart with all his help and aid, but at the end of the day, he would only give her ***/AIDS and that's how her story ends everyday taking meds, that she can't afford, so she decides to spread it and sleeps with every other man.

You inspire me
Poetry is nothing without an inspiration
I'm happy I found mine and it's you
Sometimes it's hard expressing feelings
But I express mine perfectly on a notepad
The pen is my dream
And my heart is the ink
So I pour my heart out to you, the notepad.
It's probably hard to understand my poems
But try to read between the lines
Cos between every thin line, there is a blank part and that's the part I try to show
The emptiness, that's what I feel without you

Thank you.

A sad story
Love shouldn't be a battle but all we do is fight 
when I think I'm the only one some other guy arrives 
Then he pops up in your DMs and tells you that your fine 
But I'm giving you my love, he can only give you likes 
On instagram and Facebook and Twitter and snap chat 
And you're sending him snaps of 3 seconds of how your *** fat
Hoping that the time is too short for him to screen grab that 
But if he was beside you I'm pretty sure he would grab that 
Another guy on your whatsapp everyday he tells you whatsup
You say I'm good and he asks for nudes and you tell him to shut up 
But why would he when his friend has told him that your ****** up 
Now your nudes have gone viral every day a new boy pops up
So you have lost respect for yourself and they have lost respect for you 
Now everyboy is asking for nudes cos that's all they expect from you 
And girl, you know I'm here for you, I'm the only guy who would treasure you 
I'll break necks for you I'm right next to you if you run I'll be after you
On instagram he likes every of your photo 
Then you get excited when he asks you for a follow 
Cos your friend said he's fine and he drives his parents car 
Money is not the root of evil, bad friends are 
Now he's chatting you up tells you you're always on his mind 
Soon he says let's meet up come hop into my ride 
You're still not back home and it's the middle of the night 
I was with your mum, she never slept she only cried 
Two days later in the evening by five 
The police knocked on the door asked if they could come inside 
They told your mum you weren't missing but you died 
My only wish is that you listened to all of my advice

I wish the moon could talk
I wish the moon could talk 
And finally reveal it's secrets, and tell me them
It would tell me how it follows you around every time 
And shines even when everyone has deserted you in darkness 
I wish I could kiss you from head to toe 
And know what it feels to be head over heels in love 
That must be some crazy feeling, that got me feeling crazy
I'm a crazy thief, but then her heart is heavy 
So every time I try to steal it. I end up falling more and more
 Cos I'm weak, that's why every single day I'll dedicate to you
They say home is where your heart is
So why throw stones in glass houses 
In simple terms, don't break my heart

Tell me
Tell me

Tell me it's not over
Tell me not to go
Tell me you're gonna visit someday
Tell me I'm not on my own
Tell me that you miss me
Tell me it's not a good bye
We're never gonna see again
Tell me it's a lie
Tell me to come to you
Tell me to go to prom with you
If you wanna go to the moon again
Tell me to come with you
Tell me to comfort you
That's exactly what I would do
To see you smile gets the butterflies In my stomach to fly with you
Tell me what stops us from
Being together is eastern time
Tell me we kissed goodbye
Tell me we missed our flights
Tell me I'm right
Tell me I'm wrong
Everything I said was all a dream
It was fun meeting you
Tell me it was fun meeting me

Letter to Pops
The skies talk back at me sometimes
They tell me, you're with them
I know you're in a better place
That puts a smile on my face
Your looking down at us, proud to see
Who your children have become
Hoping one day we would meet
The marvelous day you'll return
Or the day I'll meet you there
Till that day, you're in my prayers
And we keep fighting all our fears
We don't give up we persevere
Trying my best to be the best
Thank you pops for being my motivation

Happy fathers day.
Love, Moore
Happy father's day

Hate spelt backwards is Love
I hate you girl.
And I will never say
I think about you so much
Its funny how
I fell for you
But at the same time
I hate you
I always said
You were perfect to me
But you weren't
You were ugly
My friends said
You were the best
But they lied,
You weren't worth it.
People said
I still love you, but
I loved you.

Now I know how the moon feels
So empty, so deserted
Chasing the hottest thing in the world and not reaching it.
Spins round and round, day by day, still nowhere.
Relationship full of ups and downs
Trying to meet the light but when the sun's up, the moon goes down
Ripped jeans, ripped heart.
But the sound of your voice happens to be a tailor
Sewing up the reap in my chest.
Thanks for it all.
Hey there,
I heard you see stars
You look a lot like them, are they your sisters?
Stars for eyes, the sun for a body
Making aphrodite look so ungodly
Even gravity couldn't pull you down
Now I know the meaning of heaven bound
Even oxygen followed you to the moon
So I guess you're breathtaking and I will die on you
Imperfection is beauty, but you're way past that
You're flawless, you're more than a goddess
We kissed in a kitchen, it was great
But now the food is jealous of how your lips taste
If I could, I would write on the moon for you to see
And say 'I Love you, Do you Love me?'

Yours truly,
Moore

Letter to the Prom Queen
Dear Queen,
Are you real? Or just part of my imagination
Cos lately you've given my eyes an occupation
Staring at you is work, and everyone in the room is employed
That sharp dress cut my tongue out and got me speechless
If the dress could cut my head open and read my mind
The only thing it would see is a reflection of itself
Cos all I think about is you, and you may not be real
But you're true
The silence you cause in the room, when you walk in
People stop talking, its akward.
You're on stage, you steal everyone's attention, like a thief
Attention is really cheap, but not everyone pays attention.
Its crazy right? How a queen falls for a pauper
The only way I could ever leave, is if I ...

Stop thinking.

Yours truly
the boy at the back
This was something I wrote in 5 minutes, hope its good
Dear ripped jeans,

Do you believe in love at first kiss? I do
And I think I feel it for you.
The moment our lips touch and don't wanna let go
That feeling like wet tongue on ice
The silence feels like an empty parking lot
My heart racing the moment I feel your curves.
I hope my heart could drift and prevent smashing
I let the heart smash and break down, to avoid a break up
Then my thoughts for you exploded BOOM! And you literally blew my mind
Then I knew you were one of a kind.
I never knew how to stop
The only brake I ever knew was a break up
All I ever think about is that you're beautiful
Cos I love you, I hope you love me too.

Yours truly,
The boy with the black cap.

Letter to the president
Dear 'luck,
Sometimes I wonder how those girls feel
How their goodluck turned around
It's like running on banana peels
Keepfalling, can't even get up
The key is in the sea, someone changed our luck :(
Cos this isn't the guy we all trusted to change our walks
It's funny how $12 could buy a life
And N2000 can buy a wife
A child is supposed to think of getting grown
And not wearing a wedding gown
You call yourselves the govern-ment so do what you're meant to do
Cos I'm a believer that you can deliver our innocent people.
