Egg

Egg
I broke a chicken egg one day
Found two yolks inside
Amazing, the things that happen
When Nature has her way.

The Nightmare
Sedoo Ashivor Jul 2015
The moment my eyes closed on Saturday night
The very moment, my eyes lost their physical sight
I swam into this vast dreamland
Where there were dry shrubs and lots of sand
It was a totally deserted place
There was no sign of anyone, not a single race
It was strangely quiet, the atmosphere eerie
My palms were quite clammy, it was that scary!
I squinted into the dark and saw something
It moved and sounded like bells were clinking
It began drawing closer to me, advancing
I tried to move back, fearfully retreating
But my feet felt stuck to the ground
Its growling surrounded me, what a terrible sound
The moon shifted, I saw its form and its face
It was a horrible sight, its body, every trace
There were the huge eyes, so yellow
The face monstrous, nothing mellow
The teeth were fangs, oh! I can't describe
The fear I felt on this dream ride
Its claws started to descend on me
What would I do? How could I flee?
Just when I thought my throat was being ripped out
I heard a loud shot, and then a shout
The monster lay dead at my feet
I was shivering, my face as white as sheet
I turned and saw this handsome, kind face
The lips moved,"I've come to rescue you from this place"
I was saved and so full of joy
That the evil beast had been destroyed.
My alarm rang and I woke up in bed
My heart thumping, I remember all He said
Taking my hand, he had led the way
And promised to be with me everyday.

Every woman is beautiful

If only she thinks she is.

Riddle, Riddle
Sedoo Ashivor Jul 2015
I am a stick of wax

The thread within me is lax

I brighten your night

With my yellow light*

What am I?
Sedoo Ashivor Jul 2015
Our love was pure
Our love was sweet
The ground was sure
Under our feet

We were young
We were in love
Sheltered in a cove
Our love was strong

Soon, doubts began to assail
Rock became sinking sand
Strength started to fail
We were carried to a strange land

I look back and ponder
Few things can compare
To the power and the wonder
Of the love we shared that year

What am I?

To get anything past me
You may need a flatter and a lie
But I see everything
I'm much smarter than you are

Smiles (Read and Smile☺)
Sedoo Ashivor Jul 2015
Smiles are a blessing to any face
A guarantee of warmth in every place
Those who keep for them some space
Will learn to walk through life with grace

Found to be acceptable in every sense
They have a stimulating presence
One is usually grumpy in their absence
And they never let you put up a fence

Of course, they can be a subtle cover up
To help you rise, to set you at the top
But they do aid a clerk serve well at the shop
And ease encounters with stern cops

You'd see a smile on someone eating rice
They brighten and lighten up the eyes
Most people who tend to smile are very nice
As an ingredient for laughter-they're necessary spice

Richard Megacide
Sedoo Ashivor Jul 2015
There was once a man called Richard Megacide
One day, with little provocation, he committed patricide
The jury decided man slaughter, but he soon incurred the guilt of matricide
The following month, we got wind of his act of fratricide
The judge ruled against him, then he carried out homicide
As the entire people began to complain, next was genocide
The king, though spared, didn't keep silent and the story was regicide
That very day, Richard Megacide went home and reasonably committed suicide.

Hunger
Sedoo Ashivor Jul 2015
Down in my tummy, there's a weird rumble
That brings dizziness and makes me to stumble
It turns everything I see into a jumble
Makes everything I say sound like a mumble
To explain myself, round and round I fumble
I find myself annoyed at everything and I grumble
Everyone vexes, causing my world to crumble
When satisfied, it leaves me quiet and humble

Foresight
May be better

But hindsight
Is always clearer

I'm Your Shadow
Sedoo Ashivor Jul 2015
Twitter has got nothing on me
I'm your biggest follower
Facebook is just pretend
I'm your best friend

Instagram may like your photos
But I accept your every flaw
Whatsapp likes to chat you up
I'm the one you won't ignore

Hello poetry lets you express poetry
And act like such a mystery
But I know every detail you hide
'Cos I'm always by your side

You must be very curious to know
Well, I'm only your shadow

My Wife left Me
Sedoo Ashivor Jul 2015
My wife left me
With three little kids
Two are toddlers
And one breastfeeds

They sit on the settee
Gazing wonderingly at me
I wonder what they are thinking
What kind of man do they see?

I am a good man
I loved my wife dearly
I tried, I did all I could
Anyone would see that clearly

But I can't stay at home
I must go out to work
And after I'm done
I might take a lady to rock

Because I loved my wife
I lie for her sake
I meet my manly needs
It's a little liberty to take

The society should understand
No one must blame me
That's why I am a man
I must be what I'm made to be

But my wife left me
With three little kids
And since I'm such a man
How do I provide their needs?

My dog hates me
Sedoo Ashivor Jul 2015
My dog hates me
He barks, he sniffs
He heads for my shins
He takes his whiffs

I respect my home
I tiptoe to go out
And when I return
I must not shout

Suddenly, I have become
A guest in my house
My dog now scares me
Like a cat scares a mouse

I do all my business outside
And hide them in a pouch
I abide by his strict rules
And sit quietly on the couch

My dog hates me
He barks, he sniffs
My dog hates me
He knows I'm a thief.

— The End —
