the words that are left unsaid
are the ones that mean the most

Tooth decay and
lie in cheek.
There’s a rotten
part of me
that
continues to
manifest.
I am bitter
and this is
why I
wither away
rather than
fall to
pieces.
I am a slow,
dying,
rotten,
seething
piece of
flesh.
I am pale
with
society
and intoxicated
from all of
the pointless
conversations
we pretend
to have.

nobody is
listening.

Is there a liquor strong enough to fix me
Strong enough to make me forget who you are
Forget your name.
Maybe if I drink enough, the memory of you will come out with all this food I had earlier today.
Is there a liquor that tastes better than your kiss
Feels better than your arms
I've searched many bottles and have yet to find this liquor that people say mends their pain.

Your love for me is a loud silence

I am the sun
Once alone; almost free
Captured by the Tiger
Surrounded by the killer whale
Dying by trigger

I am the sun
The yellow bright sun
Over shadowed by darkness
Yet, rising and shining in darkness

I am the sun
Skeleton of the black wolf
Whose name currently I bare
And by her skin am engulf

I am the sun
The great enslave sun
Caged by a greedy giant
Whose arms are ready
Sharp and steady

I am the sun
The rebellious small sun
Under the sky
Fighting for freedom
To fly high the sky

I am the sun
Strong and mighty
Fearlessly
Shouting ceaselessly
For the freedom of my sons

I am the sun
In the bay of Atlantic ocean
Across river Niger
Centered by Imo river.

Broken, cracked
But slightly intacted
Memories of battles
Still conquers my soul
Forward on new journeys maybe fate
Intuition as seen
Instability become stable indeed I must
Action Now accepted
My step that i now  taken
I am owner of mine thoughts I can feel my face if I believe myself without saying it's too late

Colour Blind

I don't see the colour of your skin.

I see
the colour of your heart.

Is it dark and putrid or
is it the color of a soft and lilting tune?
Is it filled with warm tones,
or cold?
Hues of ice and snow,
or gold?

Do you give or take?
Do you love or hate?

I don't see race or faith,
I just see you-
your energy, your words, your actions.

I see you; I just simply
see you.
