The victory to the gallows
Timothy Meli Oct 2020
The victors go down to the gallows,
There they go, wallowing in their victory,
Victory of hollow redemption.
They won the victory,
The victory to the gallows.
And there they go to the gallows
As they swoop and stoop
The gallows is there,
There to gain them.
They can gallop no more,
The mire has come to their necks,
They chose this route
Now they cry and gnash
But there, there is no way back
Because they were the choosers
The choosers of death
And death has chosen them.
There is a prize to pay for evil deeds

I lay under this starry night
Wishing you were here with me
But I know you're no longer mine.
My tears have dried,
The scars still hurt
I loved you but you chose him
I hope he will love you as I did
I hope he'll treat you as my former self did
Am faded and jaded
A shadowy remain of my former self
It hurts to see the one you love,love another

Lonely star
Timothy Meli Jul 2020
We were the rocking stars
Only us in the night
There she goes taking her light away
Breaking my heart to pieces
And now we are no longer the rocking stars
I am a lonely star

My blood keeps flowing,a cut deeply rooted in a promise unkept,a dream,perhaps wallowing in mere oblivion of a fake reality
A flared rage of a lost self,I tender the flickering embers of a broken me sheltered with the grace of a nonchalant society
Am sick of the blues

PROMISCUITY
Timothy Meli Jul 2020
Lively,long love-loving life,
Turns a dreaded dull daydream.
Strenght of the strong string of love life
Vanishes and vignette vile vipers.
The snippy stud snaps and snarks
After his smooching snare you slipped
Lurve life turns longeurs.
Bleak ,black and blinding strife
Leaps in and heaps havoc,
You hassock and hassle
But bed-burning coal you heaped.
And the time has come
For payment to be made.
A nugatory,now you are,
You will die the the death of the naughty.

The continent of the future
Timothy Meli Jul 2020
The future is bright,
For Africa has light.
To light the future.
The continent of the future,
Recovers from the colonial plight
And is bound to take a flight
To the green pasture
Of economic rapture,
With lights all night.
And seasons of delight.
The continent of the future
Holds the key to the future
Vision of Africa

Cry of a lost soul
Timothy Meli Jul 2020
A smile to the world,a cry deep within
The unheard voice of a lost soul called
But none picked the call
And when all is said and done a tear is lost
I got an appointment with the gallows down by the brook,a decision not so savory but the choice is made
Some will hurt,some will miss,nonetheless I'mma say you didn't care when time still there was
A disgrace to the one who bore me,I've held to levels above
I've tried,but now time is come to savour the unknown facet
Down by the brook you'll find the shackles of my broken self,it will lay awaiting a storm passing  bye
And when history is unwinded I'll have tried

My heart ached for her while hers for another
I felt a soothe in the void within
Holding on to a lost hope
An incentive that one day I'mma hear 'I love you'
Our stars aligned  in different nights
It broke my heart,a misery untold
The gods were never merciful to grant a reality
Blessed with inner beauty
Nature gripped my heart
And couldn't let go
But for the sake of peace
I gotta  let it fleet
And break free of hold
Wipe the tears away,
The pain consuming thy soul and fight for the strong

~Timothy Meli~
There is this girl I had a crush on,she told me she was taken and couldn't love me
