A
is the ache
You leave behind
when you leave

B
is the broken
Person I was
before I had you

C
is the carvings
on my wrist
that you kiss

D
is the sense of defeat
I often felt
when I was alone

E
is the elatedness
that fills me
when we speak to each other

F
is the friends
that I made
because you believed I had to give them
a chance

G
is the good
I can finally see
that's always been around me

H
is the hope
that you give me
that I'll see another day

I

that graces my mind
when I think of you

J

that you give me
even when you're gone

K

you showed me
that fixed me

for good

to be around

I feel when I see
Happy couples everywhere

Q

indifference I feel
towards every **** thing

R

it takes me
not to plunge that knife
into my throbbing heart

S

I feel to get through
every ******* day

T

I put myself through
looking at our old photographs

U

need to live
dissipitating day by day

V

you promised to make
but you didn't make it.

W
is the words
you used to say
to make the pain go away

is the mark
on the calender
of the anniversay we didn't have

Y
is the question
I ask everyday
since you died

Z**
is the end
of this poem
of our love
forever

All these alphabets
mean something to me
no amount of morphine
Takes the pain away from me

You made me happy
and now that you're gone
I'm back to the ghost
I once was

Fall In Love With A Poet

Fall In Love With A Poet

My dear, do not fear
The bitter and sweet words you hear.
Do not fear to fall in love with Moet
Yes, Moet the wanderlust poet
For it is best to fall in love with poets
Who are never short of sweet words
Sweet words from the heart
And not from the throat.
Whoever says never fall in love with a poet is a liar
Because a poet is the best comforter and lover like me from Nigeria.

Showers (Haiku)

Multitudes of drops
Shower me with thoughts of her
Drenched in happiness

pretty words.

Crying.

Crying.

The baby cries as it comes into the world
People cry when others leave the world
They cry at weddings
And at funerals
At love and heartbreak
Crying is life
Crying is death
It's needed and hated
It's considered weak
And also strong
Crying is a double standard
Within it's self
It encompasses our world
Full of such emotion
Yet can be so empty
Crying is everything
Just think about it.

This is for You

This is for You

Roses are red
the sky is blue
I can't stop smiling
because I'm thinking of you
grabbing my waist
your right hand caressing my elephant tattoo
leaning in to kiss my lips
I love the way you taste
you're the only one I miss
cause I love
oh, yes that's true
there is no truer love
than the love I have for you
<3

Suzy, You Don't Know What You're Talking About

There was a time
I was maybe nine
I could not stop staring into the sunshine

Suzy told me I'd go blind
I didn't believe her but
I said I wouldn't mind

When I finally took my eyes from the sun
I started to run
I faintly remember falling
And then smiling towards the sky

I understood why
