I WANT
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015
I want to let you know how I feel
But I decided against that idea
I might use a thousand words but still
I doubt you'll understand me dear

I want to walk side by side
With you interlocking our arms
But its hard to decide
Even though my heart yearns

I want you know about my illusive dreams
So that you understand why I am afraid
But I can't with undying screams
Resonating inside my head

I want to give you the best of kisses
But I know you cannot be my Mrs

LIVING AND THE DEAD
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015
The war was over but we were still battling
Fighting the doom darkness in our Souls
Like an Ancient steam ship hurtling
Towards the Bamuda or waterfalls

We had lost the best of our youth
Warring for something that wasn't
The world brought down her wrath
For a lot had changed and hadn't

Some had lost eyes, others vision
We fought to protect the reign
Without any solid reason
And our lives washed to the drain

We fought for what we believed
And healed or not some of us lived

ESSENCE
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015
We spent trillions of time searching for love
And forgot It's a product of patience and peace
We wasted years contemplating what we'd have
Whether awaiting us was sorrow or bliss

Atrophied centuries trying to overcome fear
Rather than welcome it and with it learn to live
We followed from behind so that they wouldn't see a tear
And we would have no long explanation or fake smiles to give

We used the lonely routes for none could be trusted
But walked armed incase anybody showed up
We waited for our trumpets to be blown till they rusted
Like the entire universe and Galaxy was having a nap

Until we actualized that pain and risk is the essence of living
None of our wrinkles were from smiles but grieving

MEANT FOR EACH OTHER
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015
I still remember the taste
I still see your tears
I still think you're the best
One who helped face my fears

I still believe time won't steal
The memories and moments
Besides the pain that I feel
And this'll forever be my torments

I still know your digits
Not on paper but my head
I wish I'd known the limits
Before our love was dead

I still remember the first and last kiss
And they're vividly  robbing my peace

WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015
For your happiness I'll move mountains
If I fail, you my world will know I tried
My desire is like natures spring and fountain
None in history with passage of time ever dried

When lost in the oceans, I'll be your radar
To point the vessel of your heart in the right direction
And when you need to climb, I'll be your ladder
When ailed I hope to be your prescription or injection

When your enemies close in on you,I'll be your shield
I'll light your way when darkness takes over your universe
Because our attraction is more powerful than magnetic field
I'll be the rail to the train of your life,ceteris paribus

I'll walk all the miles of your voyage's estimation
Nothing would please me more than sharing your destination

ON THIS ROAD
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015
Once upon a time I met a wise man on this road
Called world who told me to avoid haste and go the toad
He said, "say hello before It's time for goodbye
Laugh out loud for there'll be time to cry
Listen while they talk but oppose with silence
Obeying all constants and paying attention to the variance
Take when you are given but never forget even yours shall be taken
Trust strangers more than friends,by friends you're forsaken
Go as far as the road takes you to know exactly what awaits
And roll with the wind, surf waves obeying every cyclone as it rotates
Life is grilled chicken,chew bones while you still have teeth
And if you're given the chance to kiss the lips, **** even the ***
Scream out loud against all odds if you want to be heard
Keep toiling uphill, don't despair for every situation's hard
Opportunity comes once in a lifetime for fools who ain't welcoming
Otherwise build more enchanting doors and she'll always be coming
The sky is only a lower limit for counting your success
Call it a springboard for the ambitious to set some pace for space
Difficult moments are like caterpillars, ensure they ain't dead
And someday they'll be beautiful butterflies instead
Make peace with your enemies, friends cannot be trusted
Otherwise words like treachery and betrayal couldn't have been invented  
Say what you need to say, when you need to say it
Some simple words humans hold back when released restore a beat
Much as you get warmth from being embraced and cuddled
The same happens when you do embrace those in cold and hurdled
You may believe walking away from the risks is the answer to every question
But it's the ships that sail far from the shore that never escape mention
Do not waste time being troubled and contemplating your death
Worry more about how you're spending the billions of your breath
So go out there and squeeze sap of joy and contentment out the tree of your life
Every genius is just an idiot who ****** every moment like It were a wife

A MELODY IN MY HEAD
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015
There's this song that played from the start
One that reminded me of you being the one
A song I hear deep down my big heart
With a melody that said "dare if you can"

There's this bird that whistles in my head
A bird with beautiful colors and feathers
One that reminds me that ain't dead
As tomb-like darkness of loneliness gathers

There's a river I cross to country from city
A river that flows over rapids and falls
One whose beauty steals my self pity
Sending impuses of hope and courage calls

There's this road you and I walked long enough
Where I pass when sad to remember how beautiful you laugh
A sonnet a day keeps loneliness away :))

I FIGHT MY BATTLES
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015
And I fight hard,fighting the battles all alone
It doesn't matter whether I lose but I have to win
So I fight with love and courage in my bone

I fight for brothers and sisters gone
Getting filth of guilt on my soul hitherto clean
And I fight hard,fighting the battles all alone

I ensure my foes regret why they were born
Slaying them with neither Calvary nor shoulder on which to lean
So I fight with love and courage in my bone

Its for my people's safety and for my own
I don't want to see them chained in slavery where I've been
And I fight hard,fighting the battles all alone

I want them to cross to safety and not drown in jeers and scorn
To blind their sight to the injustice and despair I've seen
So I fight with love and courage in my bone

I wont dare let my family groan and moan
I can't forgive myself if they are trapped between
And I fight hard,fighting the battles all alone
So I fight with love and courage in my bone

LOVE YOU
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015
I would walk a thousand miles to see you
So I've converted miles to social media hours
Because It's the only way I can say "I love you"
After all can't walk on Oceans without supernatural powers

I'd surrender mine just to hear your heartbeat
If she could be given without her skin called mortality
I'd have stars across the night to always have your sky lit
But I cannot promise dreams which stand no chance becoming reality

I'd massage every tired muscle of your fatigued heart
If the fingers of my affection could penetrate the distance
I understand,enough times before you've been hurt
But if you wasn't so far away I'd burrow through any resistance

I would bring the moon from the sky to your door
For one reason, you're a treasure I love and adore

LET TODAY BE THE DAY
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015
Hey the one for me, if you're out there
Just wanted to say I'm tired of waiting
You might not realize how much I care
And soon droping levels to despairing

If you are on foot somewhere walking
Please I think It's time to run or drive
Yeah, I'm tired of hearing others talking
That surely someday soon you'll arrive

My heart is too busy fighting to find peace
And my poor Soul's caught in the cross fire
My cracked lips long for a drop of a kiss
They're dried by the sun of hopeless desire

So if you're driving to reach here someday
Grow wings and fly to make today the day

FIGHTING THEIR WAR
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015
I plant where I dig
Faith is my fig
It might take long
But hope keeps me strong
Might not know where I'm headed
Might even get beheaded
Yet I ain't scared
My heart might be scarred
But I'll keep on hoping
They think my life boring
Cause their champagnes always popping
I talk of someday wedding
They believe in eloping
Yet I won't let that shake me
They got sticks and heavy stones
They ain't gonna break me
Though they might fracture my bones
That will be a hell of delay
But they cannot stop destiny
In the lords army as I pray
Here we've got no mutiny
Some ask me of what importance
Is a God who is invisible
They call it renaisance
Yes, it don't make sense
Though we're immiscible
I try to reach out to them
Try to help them go across
From fatal games
To respecting He who died on their cross
Yes He who rose
Trying to **** out the gross
But they don't understand
That It's hard ground where I stand
And they're drowning holding straws

BY THE BONES OF PATRIARCHS
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015
"I'll never fall in love again"
Was a song he sung
"For falling in love is pain
Like falling in dung"

"By a whirlwind I'll never be swept
For that leads you up the sky
Where helplessly you're left
Falling down earth from that high"

"I'll never sacrifice myself
For I've learnt my lessons
And I'm off the shelf
My broken Heart's at the Masons"

But that song like all grew old
After which he's dating his third I'm told

SOMEDAY
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015
Someday you'll come my way
With blessings from paradise
For every night I pray
For someone with Angel eyes

Someday you'll be walking by this road
Then we'll meet and appreciate we did
Both too glad to share our load
And our deepest desires and need

Someday we'll share the tightest embrace
Holding each other like we'll never part
With my patience and God's grace
Someday we won't be worlds apart

But until then this distance between us
Feels like that twixt Earth and Mars

STILL PINING
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015
I doubt I'd be this drunk
If you were here to share these beers
So I got you to thank
You and my peers

I'm hanging out with loneliness and gloom
Yeah, even the music is on to slay silence
It's funny how these guys light up my room
Trying to survive winter of your absence

You're far away but still next to my heart
Memories wrap me in their blanket
As I'm clamoring to go past the hurt
Past the hopeful blowing your trumpet

Miss hugs and the kisses,their taste of wine
One of the many reasons for me pine

WHAT, WHEN, HOW, WHO,WHY?
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015
What's the point in searching if I won't find
What's the point in wiping my tears
When the next minute I'll cry and none'll mind?
What's the use of hoping I'll overcome my fears?

Where the hell's every corner where'll find love
When literature and every picture says world's round?
How'll I ever fly without wings to find one I deserve
When even gravity keeps bringing me back aground?

Who'll it be to fill this heart that's bruised and cracked?
Who'll bear nursing wounds they didn't cause?
Who'll erase the memories of the one that rocked?
Who'll give me the right prescription and not over or under-dose?

Why should I keep hoping even after this long?
Why should I believe them when they say out there is one to whom I belong?

ONE SLAP TOO LATE (sonnet)
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015
They say it is highly paying to keep calm
That she's gracefully walking my way
That someday love will surely come
To shed light of joy upon my desolate soul and to stay

They tell me to keep my eyes on the look out
They tell me it might come like a bird from the blue sky
And steal loneliness and hurt something I highly doubt
That someday drunken in romance I'll sigh

They say the walk of love is that of a hunting lion
Treading softly not to ***** its absorbed prey
That It's worth the wait as love renders a shoulder to cry on
**** hopeless but a thing for which I still pray

It isn't what they say but what I know that keeps me strong
I know I'll slap love when she's finally here for taking so long
My 2nd Sonnet
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015
Her eyes flutter soon as they sense someone encroaching
Her nose in fear of uncertainty starts running
Like a Dear in sight of a predator approaching
As her hanky is sent up her nose cleaning

I get a closer look at her beautiful *******
Their sudden rise like a volcanic plug
Or cunning waves in an Ocean with gigantic crests
But soon as I’m close enough all she gets is a hug

Then I place my head on hers close enough to her lips
Which tremble probably in fear of the belief all speech is lies
While all through a burning urge to kiss her hard at me nips
Seeing tears of doubt gather clouding the skies of her eyes

Her heart beats too violent for someone of her age
Seems she’s grown to believe for love,pain’s her only wage
My first attempt of a sonnet :o
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015

AIN'T BREAKING FREE
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015
As tears crawl down her soft cheek
She smiles because finally she has me in her arms
And I hold her tight for she looks so weak

Staring into her eyes that seem to *****
I savor her scent not to break free of her charms
As tears crawl down her soft cheek

I don't know what to do,it's happening quite quick
Our hearts beat in an organized rhythm of drums
And I hold her tight for she looks so weak

I can feel my own tears hind my eyes start to *****
Deep inside me emotions are on the brink of breaking the Dams
As tears crawl down her soft cheek

She senses my melancholy faster than water flowing down a creek
And starts worrying for every guy she dates runs
And I hold her tight for she looks so weak

Trying to disguise her worries she can't help but blink
Her doubts are back armed with bombs and guns
As tears crawl down her soft cheek
And I hold her tight for she looks so weak
Still trying the style

VICTIMS OF CIRCUMSTANCE
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015
So all of them knelt down to pray
For their comrades who were gone too soon
In the soggy swamp where they lay

Weaker and weaker they grew, day after day
Cause battle had intensified throughout June
So all of them knelt down to pray

They wished to rewind time least to May
With the rhythm of their Heartbeat out of tune
In the soggy swamp where they lay

Clouds had cast a thick canopy allowing no single ray
To touch their bloated bellies threatening to balloon
So all of them knelt down to pray

From a distance they heard a Donkey in horror bray
Sending shock-waves through the battered platoon
In the soggy swamp where they lay

They'd agreed to wait for aid on a tray
'Course help would come but they needed it soon
So all of them knelt down to pray
In the soggy swamp where they lay
Niamh used it, so I decided to give it a try because I like the style
Thanks Niamh :))

PUSH TO SHOVE
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015
How can we make love yet we haven't made peace?
How can I feel your heartbeat without leaning in for a kiss?
How will the bicycle of conversation be ridden
When you act like mere parting your lips is forbidden?
How will we profit from this affair when we cannot break-even
How can you ask me to get over faults without being forgiven?
Have you ever had a serene night since we last met
It hasn't been easy on me,could be a similar effect on you I bet
How can we stop the arguments and the fighting
When we still got lots of skeletons in our closets hiding?
How do you make it through the day
Knowing you're too busy to make out?
You force me out in the night and I obey
Claiming you don't want to get caught
At 21 when the Hell will you exude some pride
In having me as yours without having to hide?
You say you love me more than words can explain
Wondering why I don't believe you and sounding so plain
How dare you say we are tailor-made for each other
When all you do is expand the little rift twixt us further?
How do you feel while convincing me that you care
Well aware that you're always away and never there?
How do you do it? Lie and believe your lies are true?
Where do you get courage to smile midst all your putting me through?
To be continued...

WORTHY OF PAIN
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015
I know you're going to hurt me
I know I should not trust you
I know you're just wasting my time
I know all of it is one **** golden lie
I shouldn't mention you in my rhyme
'Cause you're just gonna make me cry
Mine's an asset,your Heart's just debenture
I know being with you's a very risky venture
I know you are after something,you'll leave
It's just so clear that I shouldn't trust you
Yeah, I should walk away rather than grieve
Later,when my Soul's been crushed by you
I know you fake smiles but you don't care
I know there's a bad blood you bear
And I'm just one of your vengeance pawns
To win the one for whom your heart longs
I know you would die to get your prince
Charming,like you've always referred to him since
I know you'll throw me into a very deep pit
I know I'm being hood-winked by you
Yet I know I still...I still...I still love you
Even if you hurt me,the pain'll be worth it
Love will always hurt, I read somewhere,best thing to do is find someone worth your tears

BOUNDLESS OCEANS
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015
Walking away sometimes isn't moving on
Just like sometimes moving on isn't walking away
Breaking up isn't necessarily creating enmity
Though sometimes creating enmity involves breaking up
Desire isn't fire even if sometimes it does burn
Memories seldom totally fade away after it's done
We meet, but every Hello comes holding hands with her goodbye
The road which bound us'll separate us,no matter how hard we try
The package of our birth contains the towel of our death
And as we celebrate so shall we mourn
Every cradle cup has its grave etched on it
And it counts on like a clock, beat by beat
Till we are there, in the great beyond
A place where those who return never visit
Every dawn crawls along to meet her dusk
Like a bride to her groom as a wedding task
Today is here awaiting a conquerer's victory
For every moment shall someday be history
Traditionalists believe the sun matches around the Globe
Scientists say otherwise, they say what moves is the Globe
That's why as you hold my arms and softly kiss my lips
I kiss you hard till down your lips blood drips
So that when this sweet start someday marries its end
When this great fire dies out once we've stopped to fend
We will remember one thing,how passion glowed like Mars
Each time we meet,by just a glance at your scars
But till then, I'll keep hoping ours is as ageless as the sun
And as continuous as the boundless oceans and seas
As treasured as an Ancien king's first born son
Yet as strong as Diamonds, and fascinating like how the Eagle sees
I will keep hoping that even after forever you'll be mine
That ours is an endless poem, one that shall never witness a last line

MISSED YOU
Ignatius Hosiana Jul 2015
I know I've missed much
But what matters is I'm back
Been away sorting out issues
And aching for each one of you
For those who cared enough to ask
I'm sorry for not accounting for it
I didn't know my silence
Would be too loud,thanks for caring
Otherwise, I missed the sharing
And always craved my return
Poetry is my home,you guys are family
For in life friends are the most special family
One we choose for ourselves
If I ever leave, I will always find my way back

FIRST & LAST
Ignatius Hosiana Jun 2015
Your first love's that person on the prologue of your love story
Your true love's the minor character at the start but the epilogue of your glory
Your first love's the one who leaves tears where there was laughter
Your true one wipes those tears and lives with you happily ever after
Your first love's the one you trust at first sight and doubt at last
Your true love's the one you doubt but ultimately fall and wholly trust
Your first love's the one you think you'll never forget in your lifetime
Your true love's the one not worth remembering but you never forget
Your first love's either the
first person whose heart you break
or the one who breaks your heart
Your true love's either the person
whose shattered heart you heal
or who heals & steals your hurt
I know sometimes first love can be true but
Your first love's most times the fantasy that drowns the sailor
And chains but true love's the reality you finally settle for,your "bailor"

WORLD (continued) ...
Ignatius Hosiana Jun 2015
We wanted to make sense of the world, So we colour-coded it, like our school schedules.
Then we realized we got the colours wrong.
Outside colours weren't the way to organize, so we looked on the "inside".
Who was to think that we can see everyone's colour?
They looked at the emotions we display.
Just because I can't smile everyday, doesn't mean I'm different.
It means I am sane enough to not wear a mask everyday of my life.
Then again, sane isn't exactly a word that describes me...*
Something else describes me, something I took long to admit
something the world doesn know partly because I haven't told it
but mostly because the world always sees what it chooses
After all in not knowing there's nothing it loses, or there is
In case it could profit from knowing about my bruises
And my random thoughts that cloud my mind everyday like a mystic frost
Times when I'm all caught up in this boundless ocean, life,
And cannot see my way or the sickening and thickening waves coming my way
Nobody knows I'm a ship with no radar, only no body ever paid attention
That's why I lean on only nobody, and nobody's my ladder.
Tropica
and me
Thanks to Tropica

TWO OCEANS
Ignatius Hosiana Jun 2015
You and I are cultures apart
You and I are worlds apart
You and I are two oceans apart
You're a distant dream,so far away
Yet I'm here contemplating you
Hoping someday I'll hold hands with you
And believing all your words are true
I'm here clinging to pictures of you
With familiar smiles of someone I knew
Savoring in the depth of your eyes so blue
I'm right here across continents thinking
That ultimately on the last page it'll be I & U
And lifting out the anchor, been sinking
I'm here imagining the future us
Living on this earth,spitting out animous
To create more space for you in my heart
I'm here believing at the very end
Our story'll bear the flames of its start
Feeling complete,thinking of you my friend
No strings, Just imagination

GRASSHOPPERS AND CROWS
Ignatius Hosiana Jun 2015
I reached safely where you sent us
It's a lovely place for any traveller
Problem is the people who came along
Those you said should be my brothers
They're bad & insert tubes in the heart
To **** out every little bit of our blood
We'd be brothers if only we connected
God you believe we're Hoppers and locusts
We should be but some became crows

These people have hearts of scorpions
And ache to fight and spread their poisons
Their loathing is deep and their hearts hard
They laugh by face and frown inside

There's one with joy filled to the brim
Simply because my pockets are empty
His heart finds peace when we're troubled
And end up clamoring for their assistance
They set traps everywhere, up and down  
They rip us and are hungry,yearning to bite
It excites when you're helpless and despair
It's comic to them watching your struggles
They never remember when you helped
They celebrate when they see you dying
They already have me painfully manacled
My pains are flooding their hearts with bliss

These guys have hearts of scorpions
Which ache to bite and spread poisons
Their loathing is deep, hearts hard
They only laugh with their teeth
Yet they are frowning deep inside

They are worms inside the gullet
Slowly ******* and ******* pretty hard
Forgetting if their host dies they also die
Those are the people we live with
They have machetes in their cloaks
Hidden,so we think they're carrying babies
And get our ignorant necks real close
They are out here ready to betray us
That friend of yours you truly love
One you're breaking a piece of bread for
Is responsible for rumors that all you eat
Is stolen, and the one craving your defeat

These guys have hearts of scorpions
(I'm scared)
And ache to bite and spread poisons
Their loathing is deep, hearts are hard
They just laugh with their teeth
But they are frowning inside

THE MERCIFUL BUTCHER
Ignatius Hosiana Jun 2015
Her soft spots were really soft
Yet that discovery made me hard
I faintly touched them ,she hopped
And seemingly in pleasure she sighed
She gazed skyward to the stars in prayer
As I kissed her neck in a fashion so rare
Initially there was no having a taste,she'd refused
But not after my magical touch had her diffused
Under the warm moon as I kissed out her yearning
She died of the passion she was learning
Sapped her control and she was losing it
Her hazel eyes glowed like embers freshly lit
Under the gorgeous little Jack fruit tree
While she begged me in whispers to set her free
Free like when her lustrous monster wasn't active
Then I realized I was a chain holding her captive
Every stroke made her **** for it felt like lightning or fire
She wasn't given lectures on how to surf the waves of desire
Despair in her eyes said she needed to be freed from the prison
Thus I slowly untied the chains of my lust but it felt like treason
To me,but I couldn't go on devouring without her ease on
She didn't deserve being butchered and eaten in a tree zone
So I just rubbed her slowly as she regained her equilibrium
Kept my whip tightly locked like it were dangerous uranium
She apologized for spoiling the all spicy night
I could tell that all had changed to regret from fright
When a gentleman let it easily walk away
But I was sure her dear goat would of course
Be devoured treasure it though she may
She couldn't keep it forever, but she could delay the loss
Virginity in my Country is nicknamed "Goat"
And sorry if you hate this kind of poetry, I like all poetry :o

NOT A POET
Ignatius Hosiana Jun 2015
Fear sleeping for with it my ideas might be gone
By either dying or reverting to where they were born
I hold each piece of memory like slides up a microscope
Nursing them tenderly so that they don't lose hope
And I walk my little fingers over my phone screen
While words from all corners of my mind scream
Can't risk the cacophony in my head turning into a maze
'Cause my mental universe is a cow I must always graze
Sleep tries to have her finger pressing my eyes
I fight back because I can't stand watching my good as it dies
Drowning into hours of foolish immobility
Losing a time I could have maximized my ability
So I keep scribbling a pen when I tire of tapping
Satisfying my ***** obsession so it doesn't think about eloping
I think I'm not a poet but an addict to glamourous words
Probably hoping to come across one that will glue the shards
I'm playing with the hand fate's delt and the cards
Can we blame them for soaring when they were given wings,the birds?*,
Trying to find sleep ... :o

LOST THE RHYTHM
Ignatius Hosiana Jun 2015
I wanted to stump ******* your chest
So I could leave a footprint in your heart
If only someone would show me how best
I could do it without you getting hurt
I wanted to trip you so that you could fall
And be mine forever, once and for all
'Cause whilst many called my pieces *******
You said sometimes **** is worth the stink
Encouraged me to ignore what they think
And reorganized my jumbled mind to neat
You melted my heart like it were ice
With a single glance at your eyes
You stole the rhythm of my heartbeat
Or say in your presence It's a drumbeat
You make me lose the sense of senses
Yeah, even the grip on my tenses
I'm a car and you drive me so wild
If any of my control is left ,It's so mild
A touch of your skin drives me mad
You're that thing all lads wish they had
I don't know how to say this, ***
That I adore how gracefully you walk
That you sound like Angels when you talk
But I cannot utter even a single word
Of it ,your presence,leaves me speechless
And yet your absence leaves me breathless
I wasn't one to fall before you came around
How'd I avoid falling when my feet are spell bound
So I tried to write since I'd lost the gas
Came up with nothing better than this.

FAILURE OF SUCCESS
Ignatius Hosiana Jun 2015
My spirits are low
No more inspiration
No matter the perspiration
The stars have refused to glow
It's probably because I'm happy
But why should happy make ******
And poems not worthwhile
Well feel like frowning this smile
Even just for a little while
I wish inspiration was at a dial
Well, sorry poets, not feeling like poetry since I received an email that I made it through to the Barclays young leaders mentoring program..
My essay was among the best.So I have a lot of anxiety and strange emotions.
So used to feeling empty, I even don't know how to be happy anymore :o

THE MAZE PANGRAM
Ignatius Hosiana Jun 2015
But a love quake changed me, got me out a fix as soon as we met and I forgot about the jailing maze of my past and moved on.
If I forgot a letter let me know :D

FOR YOU MY FRIEND
Ignatius Hosiana Jun 2015
So you've been here ridden on your bed
So alive and in pain just feeling dead
With thoughts crawling in your head
Wondering why It's you that's bled
So much in this God forsaken earth
Questioning every bit of your worth
So you've been lying here 'cause your leg
Present in its numbness is a mere peg
You're probably pondering the feeling
I have, wondering if It's as chilling
If seeing a friend like you lay helpless
Is touching as much or aches less
Well, I cannot begin to know your pain
But as a longtime friend and brother
It hurts watching you lie here rather
Than being with us out there roaming
The streets,I pray you get better so that once again
We can sweep the town in pride & go storming
Our usual pubs as we always did at dusk
I hope it really isn't too much to ask.
I've written this for James Eric, a friend whose leg as I have just discovered was operated but It's seemingly not getting any better .
I hope all of you join me in praying for him for he and his Mama have had lots of challenges, can't imagine adding on this too to the plate.

ANOTHER CHAPTER
Ignatius Hosiana Jun 2015
I'm planning to cross the ocean
I'm planning a swim under the sun
I'm planning to hit and follow the road
I'm planning to lift all my load
I'm planning to endure the hurt
I'm planning to fix my heart
I'm planning to tightly embrace
Water my faith and bloom in grace
I'm planning to give it another try
Even if it might as well make me cry
I'm planning to osculate again
And walk with you in the rain
I'm planning to forgive that day
Even if it still feels like yesterday
I'm planning to get up and get going
On a train, yatch or a boeing
I'm planning to lift myself from down
And instantly leave this town
Pulling my socks,tightening my laces
'Cause I'm planning on going places
There's a peace I seem not to have
I'm planning to find it, and to love
I'm planning to write another chapter
One that ends with happily ever after

DIE ANOTHER DAY
Ignatius Hosiana Jun 2015
And Death knocked at my door and asked if I was ready with my Coffin
"Coffin for what?",I asked
"It will be your roof to save you the rain",Death replied.
Have you come with some morphine?",It was my turn to ask.
"Morphine?", said death in confusion.
Yes,Morphine, I'm not going down without a fight so by the time I hit the canvas you'll need it to soothe the pain
No, I wasn't ready for a fight",Death sighed, guess you'll have to die another day.
I'm inspired by people who battle cancer, It's ******* them just incase you haven't seen one

MY BIRTHDAY
Ignatius Hosiana Jun 2015
The total number of days between Thursday, June 17th, 1993 and Wednesday, June 17th, 2015 is 8,035 days .
This is equal to 22 years,excluding the end date, so it's accurate if I am measuring my age in terms of days, or the total days between my birth date and my birthday. But if for the duration between my birth date and my birthday, today,then it is actually 8,036 days.
In terms of workdays and weekends, there are 5,739 weekdays and 2,296 weekend days.
If I include today Jun 17, 2015 which is a Wednesday, then there would be
5,740 weekdays and 2,296 weekend days including both the starting Thursday and the ending Wednesday.
8,035 days is equal to 1,147 weeks and 6 days .
The total time span from 1993-06-17 to 2015-06-17 is 192,840 hours.
This is equivalent to 11,570,400 minutes
Further more 8,035 days are also equal to 694,224,000 seconds.
The nano seconds, the micro seconds, the minutes, the hours and the days have flowed by like water along a river, years have dissolved in thin air, going just before I seize the moments,such moments have escaped my grasp with the sands of time but there are things that in changing remain constant, the memories, the love, the sadness, the heartbreaks, the football team, the journey through and through and most importantly you my family and friends. I have this special day every year which I always use to thank all of you for bearing with me ,while I grew from that little boy whose loose shoe brought down the wall clock in primary seven while he was kicking chalk and consequently cried his way home contemplating the explanation for what had happened,to the young man dreaming of becoming a re-known Author and poet. From the lad who had to cram words to throw vibes, to one who hopes his words shall be used someday to tear down fortresses and conquer hearts.
Thank you all, I'm so lucky to have you and will always try to keep you all around as long as try can. Love you :) xxxxxxxxxx
Every year since 2011 after realizing I'll never celebrate my birthdays...I found my own way of letting the day not go just like that. So It's my all friends and family day, I always tell a story of something unique and then the number of days. I know I'm just a few months old here but you all are a family to me.Happy my friends and family day ... Cheers

LOVE WAS NEVER BLIND
Ignatius Hosiana Jun 2015
Once again, love knocked at my door.
Someone gorgeous I could adore.
It offered me wings to get up and fly.
I stayed put and gave it no **** try.
Love came this close, lip to lip.
And said she was mine to conquer and to keep.
Love rested her soft hand in mine to hold.
Promised warmth to save me this cold.
Love said she's seen doubt in my mind.
But thought they said love was blind?
Love rained down and washed my hurt.
She said she can stitch my torn heart.
She told me to give her another try.
That ain't no way she'll make me cry.
Shook me and sent volcanic shivers up
my spine.
When she said in a voice so sweet and yet so fine.
That if I let her in,she'd forever be mine.
Sounding honest ,charming and divine.
*There was no way this could have been a lie.
This was my only chance to recover and kiss my suicide plans goodbye.
I was lonely for months high and dry all I did was cut myself and cry.
I've spent months in the dark
searching for someone to be my guide and light me a spark.
All I had was a broken heart and cracked lips with blood that
dripped out from time to time.
I was left alone with nothing but agony and pain
A situation I won't deny drove me insane.
Love came over, dried my tears and helped me get up and put on these wings.
I told her as I let out my gentle sigh
That I might as well give them a try.
Moonlight like rain came down pouring on us both.
The flowers around us giggled and blushed.
She touched my hand and brushed the chaos I had off.
She softly caressed my skin with her fingertips.
And before I knew it she snatched a kiss and washed me from sin.
That was the moment my heart felt another love story was about to begin

UNTOLD COMMANDMENTS
Ignatius Hosiana Jun 2015
He knows no truth he who never lied
For how can he know what's lie or truth?
He who never died has never lived
For he who has lived has died
He knows not real joy if he never cried
For after the tears comes the reality of joy
Expect them who broke rules to abide
For unlike the meek,have nothing to hide
Those who have won will win again
For they know the reality of glory
While failures will fail again and again
'Cause they are already used to the story
Yes, fools they say never learn
Why?Wise men of today never teach
You don't play with fire you'll not burn
But we get to know by the boundaries we breach
Who know spectate,who don't are on pitch
Sometimes, hard to tell Bull from the *****
People learn the rules to know the cracks
And those are the point they hit to break them
Not guilty these days doesn't mean innocent
The boundaries of law can be stretched and bent
If you have to embezzle, take billions
Otherwise steal chicken and you'll be fed to lions

POETS ARE WARRIORS
Ignatius Hosiana Jun 2015
Their voices echo along the threads of time
I read their works on tattered pages
They say their words did but rhyme
Their's were for inspiration,not wages
They told stories like real witnesses
Of agonizing times and sicknesses
The soldiers of their sweet narrations
They say rode on horses of generations
Triumphant over the trend, glorious
Shooting arrows past lineages,like warriors
They fought against pride and Prejudice
Across boundaries, winged like Pegasus
They flew to bring merit of words and lines
And stood the test of time like wild pines  
They used sharp words instead of swords
Only received rejection ,sometimes nods
Walked long distances,endured perspiration
Sleepless ,so to cultivate some inspiration
They were young but with mature souls
Their relentless effort vividly like Moles
Burrowed through even hardened hearts
And with needles of kindness stitched cuts
Finely weaved justice on paper like Mats
And spread it for the world,across all parts
When speech was hated and persecuted
They stood strong and instead recruited
The course of changes threatened to slay
Erosion corroded letters worse than clay
Their beautiful hearts where kindness lay
Were battered and butchered causing hope to decay
A season came when all was but a lost cause
And were tales of how once upon a time it was
Yet again like a phoenix someday they rose
From the ashes of history, how? Nobody knows
They were stronger and mightier than mortals
And travelled through un fathomed portals
They built a very powerful mental kingdom
Above the prestigious tower of wisdom
Where they reigned like the fires on doom at Mordor
Freed so many prisoners of their situations
Across the entire universe and her nations
Gave them keys so they unlock more doors
Stanzas crawled like maggots across all avenues
With mixed feelings the world received the news
Though were skewed to embracing the return
Because for once they saw a flame of peace burn
Their tears were wiped by every piece they read
Poets let them realize war wasn't only in their head
Reason flowed like waters in fountains and streams
Readers believed once again in their dreams
And like poetry and poets they didn't sit back and cry
Every poem they read,sad or not told them to get up and try
And when they finally got victory over their inner strife
Not even once did they forget poems changed their life
Don't know why I wrote this one, just bumped in my head

I MADE IT
Ignatius Hosiana Jun 2015
Cause I've seen the stars twinkle in the night
And I've heard the road,it says "make it right
Just like the warmth of joy in the twilight
I bound my past in a heap and set it alight
Even the weight in my heart now feels light  
I made it, I made it and now It's alright
It's just a country song chorus, I'm not much of singer but I compose lots of them

MY IDOL
Ignatius Hosiana Jun 2015
If you asked me whether I love music I'd say I do
But there's none that inspires me like Dido's, she's my idol
I have almost all of her songs, such a charming voice
I guess It's one of the reason she's my first choice

MRS.SNAIL

"Snail was right here"
**** said creating much fear
In the little dear
I love this style so much, cause I love nature and it favors the animation of nature and bring out the actual plea against It's destruction

FREEZING
Ignatius Hosiana Jun 2015
Only I walk everyday on this street
Cause It's where our story began
Past these sheep as they bleet
Trying to find out whether I can
Live the heavenly moments again
And just forget the end, the pain
Only I knows why I treasure the lantana
I'm remembering my princes Diana
I shut my door cause I know tears'll flow
When I look at the pictures, their glow
Only I knows my watch is in the fridge
I'm clinging on to the point on the bridge
The end of all the beautiful moments
I'm freezing that beautiful ornament
The first you ever bought, if that was true
I can't afford to lose it too like I lost you
