Slowly she walked
Like a leaf traveling with the wind.
On her face was a shade of Ash.
She could collapse a bridge
With the venom of her rage.
Yet she chose to smile
'cos her baby bade her So.
Wash her smile did the Ash 
And safely on the bridge towered.
For her rage has come to rest.
She loves him and he too.
A lovely day and a well saved memory!

The smile you have
Is the 8th color of the rainbow;
The main essence of the rain!

The smile you have
Is  the patterns on the peacock;
The defination of grace and reign!

The Smile you have
Is the music in the waterfall;
The Majesty and grace of its name!

The smile You have
Can heal a broken heart;
Soft and silky like a lions royal mane!

The Smile you have 
To me is treasure at sea
I shall set sail to famous glory and fame!

Tick Tick Tock tock it goes
Speaking the tongue of the old
Round and round the hands do spin
Spilling the guts of man and the wellness within.

Check and Check a must you have 
lest u varnish in its tide and mist
It yawns and growls its bowel is starved!
Three long arms that punch without molding a fist.

Time oh time you stole HIs life!
made Him wrinkle and wriggly like winter.
Why do we live a life of strife?
If time clocks and washes us all away like a passing river.
Just Live every breath with ease  cos it's too thin to bare heavily.

HE
He would climb a tree to count the stars.
He once raced after a train crawling from afar!
He dared the Siberian to a friendly dance.
He lives for life and does nothing by chance

He claimed a strange voice was his Spur.
He wanted to hide the moon behind his Freaky Furs
He ones Hushed a Cobra with a Hushy Hiss.
He's But a man willing to live and Grieve in Peace!

He is my friend and a brother by Breath
He had Pulled from my heart a dagger of death.
He is Unknown to the world but to me
He Is Born in my head and herein he lives!
An unknown Hero

My mind consumes my reality
I absorb stories into my skin
I breathe escape
What do you do when the worlds in your head eat away at your life in the world outside?
Indulging in fantasy comes before school, work, or sleep
I do not live in this world
I exist within it
My heart and mind are elsewhere,
Places this vessel cannot travel
Places where this world doesn't exist
To beautiful worlds I go
And in beautiful worlds I stay
While this body is left behind
As I let myself decay
Henry Akeru Oct 2017
Am Just a bird with wings
But too weak to escape to reality.
Am too weak to swim as a fish
Drowning in my ocean of doubt.
My faith is in the desert;
Drying to a dead End.
Drunk elders said emphatically;
Don't get bitter get better.
But My bitterness is now Sweet,
Sweeter than the bitterness of truth.
JUST LET ME!
Am weary of false promises,
They are like worms festering my ears.
JUST LET ME BE!
Am not going to listen no more.
I have tasted the truth and now am free!
JUST LET ME BE!
Am a bird..I live in the Sky
But i bathe with warm sand when cold.
LET ME BE PLEASE!
Am ready to leap off the cliff
So ready I am to fall in love with the Wind.
Freedom
