A love lost, amidst
Unspoken words through seasons
Misunderstandings.

Let the leaf that is dry and old enough fall off on it's own
Leave it as it is in it's place
Over a period of time it will fall off on it's own.

Let the leaf fall and touch the ground where it will meet thick, lush green grass that covers the entire ground.

The season has changed,
so let the leaf move ahead along with the wind to reach a new destination
Not much is known about this new destination,
perhaps the only thing is it's new when compared to it's old destination.

Let the lead that has turned dry,
brown and old,
let it fall off on it's own.
Leave it as it is in it's place for the time being,
since a time will come when it will fall off on it's own.

Always it's better to leave the past far behind
Since if something belongs to the past,
it's always better to let it remain in the past to where it belongs and then move ahead along with the present moment in time.

Move ahead in life with the present in mind
Think of present at the present moment in time
Think of something new,
something different when in present.

Even if the need of hour is to make a small beginning,
even then there should be no reluctance of mind in doing the same.

Definitely the present will change for better when the past is left behind
A departure from the past will add a new meaning, life and substance to the present moment in time.
A change also takes place in the present when the present has got something new to add,
something new to offer,
something different to ascertain,
something better to be done with regards to the future.

In all the aspects of life
In the different walks and ways of life
In the highs and lows of life
In the ups and downs of life
As and when a change takes place in life
In fact, whenever a change takes place in life
Let the change bring in something new to life.
Something,
some sort of a thing,
something unexpected to life.
Still further even with all these alterations taking place the changes must be refereshing enough to add new zest and zeal to life.

Always be prepared for the uncertainty that belongs to future
Accept the changes that take place in present to decide what is in store with regards to the future
Not every change that takes place in the present is a welcome change
Definitely only when a positive attitude is maintained,
only then it can be a refreshing change.

Last night,
I told Jupiter
to sell me one of her
many moons.
Well, you can't have
Callisto.
How about Europa?
No.
Then can Amalthea
become my own?
There was silence
in waiting
for
what
I'd expect.
it's been quite
a while
actually,
a good many months
until I remembered
that small dot of silver
hung up in my room.
just where it
belonged
I found myself too.
I spoke with Jupiter
for an hour tonight
She asked "How is Thea?"
I said,
"She's doing all right."
How good of her
to want to know.
My moon is my anchor
and I love her so.

I am a home.
I am the house that always smells of freshly baked cookies
The one that is always abundant in blankets and warmth
The kind of house that makes your friends' jealous
The soft place that makes them always come over
Even when they have worn out their stay.

You
Are wearing out your stay.
My windows have fogged over,
My door has rusted shut.
My floor boards are flooded,
And my welcome mat has ripped.

You see,
The key to keeping a home warm and cozy
Is by giving it tender loving care;
Not letting the trash and dust and ghosts pile up
Like you have done with me.
Some lines in this poem are inspired by the song "Control" by Halsey.

Mayroong isang awiting nais kong marinig
Isang mapagpala at malamyos na tinig
Mayroong isang pangarap na nais kong matupad
Dito sa puso ko'y isa lang  ang aking hangad

Mayroong isang halamang nais kong mahagkan
Nag-iisang bulaklak na may angking kariktan
Mayroong isang pangakong iaalay ko sa iyo
Sa buhay kong ito'y tanging ikaw aking mundo

Koro:
Paglisan ko'y walang iiwanang luha
Paglisan ko'y hindi wakas kundi isang simula
Iiwanan kong bakas ay kahapong walang sigla
Haharapin ko ang ngayon at ang bukas na masaya
Paglisan ko'y hindi wakas, paglisan ko'y pagdating
Sa isang buhay na may pangakong lakas,
Pag-asa at pag-ibig na wagas
Paglisan sa kahapon
Pagdating sa 'king magiging bukas

Mayroong isang damdaming sinikap itago
Pagtahak sa isang landas na di nais mabago
Pagyakap sa liwanag, paghalik sa pag-asa
Maaari nang ipagsigawan, maari nang magsaya

I miss my keyboard. Perhaps this semestral break, I can do this.
hello again Oct 2015
You've changed so much since we last spoke.
You could have come to me if needed.
You didn't have to follow those people.
I would have welcomed you with open arms.
I know you weren't thinking when you did it.
I bet you're sad now.
I wish I could have been there with you to stop you.
I promise, next time I will not let that happen again.
He's just changed so much.

my essence hides on season tides
that watch my flock with eyes hawk wide
the hills, the trees, the harmonies
reside inside the endless seas
swimming through the timing to
the cliffs of peace that god once knew
we stand and scream atop life's seam
and animate this clockwork dream

freedom lies in love's warm hold
a trying tale the ages told
these shackles be but soon undone
and thus the bliss and I breathe one
we sew the skies and weave the ground
and drink the love that's all around
a bodiless embodiment
of all of nature's gold intent

I'll meet you here when your time comes
and vibrate still with beating drums
a goodbye glance that stills your heart
the end ends here; extends your start
of all the angels, echelons
and mighty kings that bring the dawns
I'm glad it's you who saved me from
the welcome words that aren’t well come

but time is short and must I say
we'll meet again one fateful day
my grace resides until your end
much love my love, my heart, my friend

"Would you ever... have *** with me?"

So what if I did?
What if I gave you all of me?
If I let you hear my cries...
If I let you feel my body shake...
What of it?

It's a simple thing.
A physical attraction?
For me, it's not so simple.

It means I wish I could trust you.

So let's say I did.
Let's say I told you it's okay.
I asked you to kiss me and prove how much you want me.

Let's pretend you slip on top of me
You kiss my neck hard and hold my hands above my head.
You'll smirk because you're excited that I want you.
You'll take it slow because you know I'll react the most.
But when I bite your lip and grip into your skin...
You won't be able to help yourself.

The desire you held for me until this time will overflow.
You'll get off because I want you to.
You'll be satisfied because you think I am too.

But you don't know a thing about my mind.

Because if I sleep with you,
That's all that we can be.
Every touch will turn to ***.
You won't hold me the same.
Because like you, my body craves attention.
But my mind, it's not so clear.
And if I choose to sleep with you,
You'd no longer feel near.

In your eyes I want you to want me.
I like the desperation in your touch.
If I  choose to sleep with you, I will lose so much.
I want you to take my breath away.
You'd love to hear me scream.
For you it's simple desire.

But, I can't explain my feeling.
Nice to meet everyone here~

My head is one pool of messed up thoughts
Swimming past by each other without order
It has been a while since I last wrote here. Maybe its some issues I'm facing and this is the best place to vent out.
Welcome to the land of the soulless, here no souls rest,
We match to mourn another murdered in silence, where do our screams go ??,
Welcome to the land where dreams dry, and a mother cries for her son on foreign soils,
She did not send him here to die, would not let him come here
Had she known for who would hold her hand, or stroke her face,
Or fill that hole of empty baby space, or who will equate her of her grief.

Welcome to a place where people looses lives in urban streets,
Cops cry, say, begged him  not to die,
Defense says he fits the profile,
Righteous say, he never should have drawn gun anyway,
He never should have trap sun anyway,
What are we still doing here anyway still jury say, ****** is justified,
And cops went right to life, while that brother is still without his.

Welcome to the land where justice forgot,
Where we fight battles with the have not's,
Where our blood runs,
Where man sets suns,
Where our trust parts,
Where we come last,
Where  we are suspects by those who choose to lead than serve.

Welcome to the place where official open season has been called for all civilians,
Welcome to a land where we don't need a reason,
Welcome to a life of clipped wings,
Aeroplane dreams will cut your life short,
Our dark voice become dark spots.

No freedom songs sung here,
No key for cager,
No place for changer,
This is not a stage for rage here,
Its just confusion here,
Its just frustration here.

So welcome to the land of false hope, and no uniform,
Welcome to my last days of trust in blue,
Welcome to my homely city,
Can i help you ?
I have written this poem behind great inspiration of a sister, a mother, a friend, a role model in poetry Bassey Ikpi~Dialo. All the loses we have in life from our beloved ones leaves a grief in us,..it's human nature.We must embrace where we came from, it here, it home,...welcome.
