I want the universe to look down on us tonight
on both you and I,
not as separate entities
but as two anomaly's collided,
though your side of the bed is empty;
in time it will fill
with someone whose light and dark matters.

Wherever your lone star is,
I want the universe to show you a small world
whose gravitational pull
occupies the space between my arms.

That moment "we" actually had no meaning.
Because when I thought we had,
I was pouring out my soul,
raising my head up high,
happy to know that you were here with me.
But then when it was only me.
Only I had thought it was "we".
But even so,
thanks for making me think there was an "us".

The greatest gift I could ever receive is being yours.
I want to call you baby and let you know how happy you make me.
I want to be able to hold your hand in public and show you off.
I want to be unafraid of the future.
I want you to know I'm listening when we talk.
I want to give you all my love, forever.
I want a definition of what we have.
What we are..

..Because you are my everything,
And I hope I'm nothing less.
Trying to shake the rust off, bear with me.

Keeping everything at bay
Forcing the smiles to stay
Why is it so hard to disagree
When every inch of my being agrees

Pitch black darkness is all I see
The brightness of the light I can never foresee
What is expected to be left
When hope is not even there

Desperate to drink an ounce of happiness
Even though it produces another liter of agony
Why is the world so cruel
To an undeserving person like *me

She is an artist.
Perfectionist.
Enticing and lovely.

She would sit
In front of
The canvas
And paint for hours
And I would hug her from behind
And give her a kiss.

She is an artist
Painting the sky blue
Full of hues.
She would sit
In front of me
Staring into my eyes
And we'd stare into
Each other's eyes
For like what, hours?

And we would lie
Under the stars
When she would cutely gasp
Out of joy
Whenever an idea crossed
Her beautiful mind
And she would paint
The canvas
With all of her heart
Poured into it.

She is an artist
Painting my heart
With colors
I can see
Every time her sweet smile
Flashed in my eyes.

She is an artist
She once told me
About the stars
And how beautiful they are
When they collide
Well, I did ask her
'How did you know all this?'

She simply wrapped her hands around my shoulder
And replied
'I know because I'm looking at one.'
This poem's physical form was lost for a while and I was very worried :(

Ode
Ode to the ones who know,

The ones who feel the same,

The ones with different thoughts,

The ones that almost forgot,

Everyone.
Emmanuel Coker May 2016
Dearest mother.

When you were young
And your mother sang to you, lullaby songs
You knew there was nothing to fear
For you had all your mother's care
You suckled on her succulent breast
And laid your bare head on her evermore protective chest
She'd pat your back and start to sing
As her melodious voice, lures you to sleep
She prays to osun to keep you safe
And begs orunmila to try to save,
You from any trouble you see in your dreams,
& help you every day, whichever way it seems
And as you grow
Little do you know
All your mother has been through
All just because of you.

Fantasies
Can be deceiving
Yet addicting.

I always
Fantasize about you
About us.
I don't know, it all seem too blurry to explain.

What I can explain
Is that we are happy
Together
Forever and ever.

Or maybe
It will only be
In my wildest fantasies.
Fantasies can be very, very dangerous.
