After sometimes, i opt the easy way out..
Believe me i tried,i gave it my best shot,
I thought these poems would make u change your mind
I guess we all change,or perhaps
We just evolve to be us
But looks like you are just slipping away
Where are you now?
We crawled we flew..
But not high enough to land to the moon.
Guess what....
I found my redemption
Where there is peace beyond understanding...
Where the road is straight...not crooked
Where life struggles,worries,burdens
Are not mine to bear...
My life is transitioned,a super being!...
My redeemer,my shield
He holds me tight on his arms,
His promises ever fulfilled
Vows never broken
His grace is much sufficient,
The Lord is with me...
This is my new enlightenment...
My road to sainthood...

i wish

i wish i could talk more..
not just talk,speak..but more than that
i wish i cud be with you
but not just now,...forever!!
i wish you could be proud of me,
just to make you smile.
but not just smile more that..
i wish...i wish...
i wish i could be perfect
precisely in your eyes,
i wish i could love you more
love you ardently,passionately until
eternity is just a grasp of our future..
i wish my words can make you turn around,
we start it off...from where we left...
now am sitting here reminiscing
like you never left.
i wish i could talk enough for both of us
i wish... i wish..
i wish we were more than that!!!

Lost to eternity

****!The dirge songs ringer through
Gone too soon,the choir refrain!
I hear low incoherent murmurs,voices crooked..
Heartfelt tribute,indeed "the last respect"
Why did you leave so soon?
Perhaps-the Lord's plan
The road to redemption is short and lonely it seems:!
All i see is these vivid silhouettes
As we lay you in this bed of roses,
Fading memories and unforgettable
Laughs and smiles.
The sun sets down on you,when is your dawn coming through-i come see you?
Reincarnate as creature,i will recognise you in any form!
I know your gait,your sweet scent!
Send a message,i know your hardwriting.
I know,i know!
Life is short,but i wanted to reign with you for eternity.
Adios,but life is not the same without you.
Miss yah!!!

The falling sky

I gaze upon the sky tonight,
The stars shine, spectacular they seem as they light
Beyond the milky way,supernova's transcend
Light years away,comets emerge
Lost in my thoughts,the falling stars diverge
A blend of colours paint the sublime sky,
Beyond ravishing, hard to describe,
The Orion appears alive as i stare by!
Moon's magic connects the sky,so low feels like i can climb;
No sound,so silent as i stand on the ground!

Clover

I have been here before,
Ive been drown in these waters and maybe it wont be my last...
Like a deja vü
I adore the feeling though am crashing into pieces.
Am numb,but i can feel my heartbeat,
This pain,this euphoria is all i know,
You give those cold eyes
But i still think CLOVER is what we are!
C for caroline,R for Romeo and LOVE between us!
I care for both of us,
Words never enough,emotions hardly show..
But i love you enough for the both of us!!
Lets sail out through these winds,share moments
And If we fall,...lets fall into these waters
Swim through the current
And the tide take us home...
WE!!!
Clovers...clovers!!

Magicians!

We are the ghosts behind the nightmares,
we work hard to reach new pinnacles in life,
we put all we got between these lines
the struggles,the pain and emotions.
we never bow down,we know the art has to be perfect and delivery flawless.
Poetry is our language,art is our storyline.
we are the rhythm without the tone,
The twilight behind every dawn.
the unspoken heroes concealed behind a paper and a pen.
we convert the rage,feelings,love into something sensitizing...
something tangible and so real like the Orion in a silent night.
we are artists, the choreographers behind the scenes
we are the wondrous in every way.
We transist.. turn words to magic!
the gods of art.
we are,
Hello poetry!

mum's day

Like the joy a newborn brings..
A toddler is bought -fourth,
Young,Naive,path crooked but destined for greatness!
In your arms i reigned,indeed new king!
Reunited from 9months of adoration,care and certainty.
Time is of essence but this new gem became your idol.
A seraphic time machine!
Born sinner,violent and hopeless
Your words are wondrous,in them i abide- Mummy i love You
Your midas touch,ardent love Never desists.
What ive become,- a rebel,irreparable
but don't lose me the more I change, no!
Yep,she rues of how raised me,but shw proud of what she raised!!
May the grace of the Lord be with you now and forever Mummy!
