Pillar of Salt
Oheneba Feb 2019
Never look back,
And do not go back,
Or else you will be a Pillar of Salt,
Your life will be stagnant and halted,
Pray for divine healing,
Don't hold on to your feelings,
Let it go,
Let it flow,
Like the Lakes of Buffalo,
That's the way you grow,
You grow and learn,
For the joy of the LORD you should yearn,
Let go of the pain,
Because someday it'll be in vain,
Never look back, for you might be a Pillar of Salt.

The River That Never Flows
Oheneba Feb 2019
The River That Never Flows,
Trapped in a world where my fishes can't grow,
My banks were once purty,
But now they've been made *****,
My waters are filthy,
Making my condition unhealthy,
I was once a place of joy and recreation,
But now I'm fighting to prevent inflation,
The river that once beautifully flowed,
Has hit an all time low.

LIFE
Oheneba May 2019
Life,
You think you’re so tough,
Putting me in all this strife,
Making my journey bumpy and rough,
You’re like a knife,
Penetrating through my soft heart,
You’re like a wife,
Nagging her husband to depart,
You’re like a fife,
Blowing loud music to mush up my mind,
You’re like wildlife,
Destroyed by human kind,
Life,
Why me?
Life,
Try me.

PUPPY LOVE
Oheneba Jul 2018
Coming off age
Trapped in a cage
The love cage
A young teen
Nothing in life I've seen
I'm confused, what does love mean?
Our love is "intense"
Sad inside, but outwardly I smile in pretense
Our love is shallow
We chewed a bit more than we can swallow
It's time to let the truth unfold
Our love is Puppy Love, let the truth be told.

Tug of War
Oheneba Jul 2018
My world, my life,
A roller coaster of strife,
Angels and Demons,
Laughing and screaming,
Battling, for me, they're steaming,
My spirit, stained and poor,
Easy to penetrate, just like a *****,
Too many cracks, holes and pores,
Lost and confused, in the Tug of War

I Tried.....
Oheneba Jul 2019
I tried to fill my basket with water,
But it was never full,
I tried to drink my soup with a fork,
But there was nothing to drink,
I tried to pet a snake,
But I was bitten in return,
I tried to change the things I couldn't change,
But I was left for dead.

A SNAKE
Oheneba Jun 2019
A Snake will always be A Snake,
No matter how good you feed it,
A Snake will alway be A Snake,
No matter how well you breed it,
Once you turn your back,
A Snake will bite you,
Bravey is what it lacks,
Too cowardly to fight you,
A Snake will always be A Snake.

— The End —
