I know that happiness
comes first
But if it doesn't fill your
tummy then I think you
are just wasting your time
You want to have a good life
but you don't want to get your
hands *****
Everybody hates a bad odour
You will always sleep thirsty
We don't just pray
We get up and try again
the next day
The world won't hear you
until you say something with
great confidence
Build yourself
and choose your own bricks

I touched your smooth skin
and felt the scars inside
You no longer talk about it
because they wipe off your
tears with a sharp razor
May I not die before
I see you smile
Let me auscultate your heart
I know that there was
something beautiful here
Whoever stole it
Please bury that name  
Allow you and I to create
a new one
I don't expect you to give me
a complete smile
I just need the authority to go
for an extra mile

I was looking at the sky
revisiting all the fairy tales
She was just planting a hard
rock in her fertile land
Everything was a parable
to me
I thought she was just being
over protective and jealous
of me
Now that I qualify to gnaw
and digest all her words
I always hear her whispering
in my ears
All you wanted was a good life
for me,Mama
It is never too late to fix that!
Because your smile tells a lot
I am ready to welcome all the
blessings that you brushed with
your warm hand of love
on your tummy
While I was kicking inside

Buven Thepoet

I know that you are trying
to hurt me
by hurting yourself
Well..
It is working
Because my cable of feelings
is connected to your soul
You give it to anyone who needs
a motel
and continue with their journey
in the morning
I receive messages of threats
every night
Because you call out my name
when you try to connect your
happiness to their heart
Give yourself time
and allow us to be us

Buven Thepoet

My mama send prayers
and hit the clouds for rain
I sow every season
To keep the bag full
I don't want the bloodline
to depend on leftovers
Hatred and betrayal
made me
I hate reminiscences
They don't understand my
language
Because I keep my focus
on what will continue to live
when I am dead
I know the pain of getting into
a battle with no back up
I need pain and poverty to
become extinct in my bloodline..

●○Buven ThePoet●○

I wasn't born privileged
That is why I see every day
as a blessing
My parents sacrificed a lot
for me to get here
It is time I wiped off my tears
I do want to play with
some other peeps
But I am responsible
for my own stomach
I no longer complain nor cry
Bacause nobody needs an
extra burden
I grew up wishing and dreaming
to have a good life
I didn't know that
it was this hard
I won't stop trying my best
as long as I am still breathing
I will surrender to guidance
and find a better way to make
myself proud
I will die for this

●○Buven ThePoet●○

I know that it is hard
to trust a stranger
But I am here to stay
You have a lot of reasons
to doubt yourself about this
So do I...
Open your heart and allow me
to renovate everything inside
If you heal without my help
You won't understand how much
I need that smile in my life
Allow me to touch every wound
I am ready to love you
I have heard a lot of rumours
about you
A sweet wine goes through
the process of fermentation
I will change your book cover
For now...
Let's just focus on making us happy

●○Buven ThePoet●○

I lost some of my friends
Because you wanted my
undivided attention
You always hitchhike when
love brings its bitter test
You don't mind the type of
transport
Breeze knocks when you
are not around
You only get hurt when someone
gives me some glow
When you have the authority
to do everything here
You don't avail yourself
You enjoy seeing me behind
your back with your side mirror
You don't need me inside
Your word of pain won't matter
If I decide to bury your picture in
my heart

●○Buven ThePoet●○

I was waiting for you
The water boiled and cooled
I didn't listen to them
I thought they were just
putting salt in my flavoured water
All I wanted was just to connect
and keep us safe
I once thought of hurting you
Because you run after those who
chew the bubble gum and spit it
out when it is tasteless
But I made a promise to myself
that I would never hurt you
Your name is a 'built in' app
in my system
But if this new resolution detects
it as  a virus
I will open up for change

●○Buven ThePoet●○

I don't know
who I am now
But I enjoy this unknown path
I was all nice and simple before
Everybody hates it when
I say it as it is
I was digging myself a deep hole
by faking a smile with torn lips
I don't think that I am rude
I just have a bad ****** expression
Especially when one hides a devil
inside and act all pure
outside the box
I have to take care of what
I value most
But what is real won't be shaken
No matter how strong the cyclone is
I always change my story
Because there are good predictors
out there
Ready to find a weakness and destroy
with great profession

●○Buven ThePoet●○

I thought it was betrayal
When one tells the truth
and twist their lines
I have studied this World
in my own different way
I tell my emotions what to do
The gear is manual
I do check up on people
What a great daily routine
Sweet habit!
The statement will be opposite
If you don't put your name
In my mailbox
I can't say I have a complete one
Because some of the chairs
are empty here
But when a bird is not happy
in your nest
You have to let it fly

●○Buven ThePoet●○

It's not just a red and white
It says something about
The renewal of love
It was just a ******* and
beautiful rose with no roots at first
You prolonged the lifespan
of my heart
I am a good cook
But I am used to having two extra
hands mixing up the recipe
from behind now
The nights are short in winter
with you on my bed side
I only have one room of loyalty
I won't put you on the side
My daddy said I should keep
and give my all to the one behind
my everyday smile
You will receive an important call
soon
Naku rhandza..

●○Buven ThePoet●○

If you say something bad
about my family
You are the enemy
I will put you on the front
page of our magazine
and protect the legacy
No strangers with negative
intentions in our territory
Sorry!
We decline a toxic story
Nobody messes up with
the bond
Electric!
DON'T!!
We hit the rock inside
and prepare for the World
No matter how hard it was
We always share the gratification

●○Buven ThePoet●○

My eyes are always on my watch
But I always miss my lunch
Punctuality!
It's no madness
I am trying to fuel up my progress
I do what feels right to me
No doubt about my speech
My mama taught me good morals
If I fail to achieve something
I blame no one
Because the World has enough
for everyone
There are a lot of eggs that hatched
Before time in my life
I had to grow up
and pull up the heavy ropes
It is not easy to get what everyone
Is looking for on the street
But the stamina needs
good maintenance
For a clean and successful hustle

●○Buven ThePoet●○

I heard a lot of voices
changing gears
Unpleasant...
Choking gas!
You were the only one talking
They were just burning it,smoking!
Not really that I believe in love again
But you made a walk way
You found me
They always ask about the outcomes
Of something that they hate
draining their energy for
You encourage me to keep a close
eye to my savings
You chain yourself to my hard cases
You give life to all the words
That I have read in different books
I know that there are different
flavours out there..
But I am well satisfied here

●○Buven ThePoet●○

My room looks like a garden
You were never a burden
I always buy new vases for flowers
You know how to read my diary closed
You are a big enemy of pain
I never get enough of you
Your contacts are on my speed dial
Whatever emergency
I know that you are the ready ride
A ring on my finger will just be
a confirmation to everybody
Because they don't feel what I feel
But I am already satisfied in my own
World
I know that one cannot be perfect
But you happen to be the master piece
of all

You are very strong and wise
but you run around one circle..
Why do you open doors for those
that have hurt you before when
you are desperate?
How many broken and repeated
promises in your waste bag?
Do you have a future
picture of yourself ?
They always draw it for you with
a pencil and erase everything after
mining the minerals that they have
been looking for in your life.
It is hard to oppose the wind direction
But your heart must pump with ease
You will hate people and and take
unwanted steps
If you need no salty drops
on your face..

Can't keep up with a single slice
Less energy..
But I won't backslide
They only focus on the bad side
Red light!
But I will be alright
I have been talking
But I never had a break
Sweet or sour
I just zip it in!
If you don't ask I just give you
a smile
If you sugarcoat I take you out
Don't wipe off my tears when I cry
Just close my eyes
When we cut off a tree we start with
the roots and the big branches won't matter

Being a teacher comes with
a lot of sacrifices..
Being a teacher comes with
great determination and love..
Teachers are the roots of all careers
The approved and studied theory
is slimmer..
Compared to the effort put in class.
Great heroes discover themselves
in the hands of teachers
Teachers groom and irrigate success
to a size of a baobab
They have this 'supernatural love'
of  believing in a stranger
And withdrawing one from a world of
nobody to a world of great opportunities
and hope
Though education is one of the golden
keys to success
I think it is important or compulsory,rather
Because for one to be able to do well
in their talent
They need education..

I would rather drown
in  fiction movies than to look
for hell on Earth..
I have tried to ride on my path
but nothing ever tried to replace
the broken glass.
I was dancing for the green grass
I always put my heart at risk
for..
But I just find the attention expensive..
Sometimes..
I take my wings up for those
that drag similarities of what I need
Just to take myself out of the misery cage..
There is a lot I need to tell
There is a great commitment I need
to sign up for..
To a soul that is ready and that has
seen the other side of this world.

I saw the beautiful butterflies
on top of the flowers..
Aesthetic!
Your eye-catching dress hovered
all the disturbing bugs
I got stuck in the mud trying
to reach you
The walk way was full of alien plants
My heart has that north pole
Of your South magnet
I doubted everything and blamed
myself for falling in too much at first
But the alarm rang
And I remembered that I need to
lock up vows with the person I adore
It was worth waiting
They say that I no longer care about
their feelings
Well...
You're the only one I need to love
And prove myself to,if that's how
I should put it.

I was part of the buildings
All dusty and stinky!
Nobody ever replied to my greetings
Every object on the ground
was a suitable material
to create a temporary bed at night..
The intake of toxic liquids was not
by choice..
There was a lot that medication could
not flush.
I wanted to talk but my appearance
caused threats..
They all kicked me out
I bumped into a sad story one day
As I was introducing the newspaper
into my lungs..
I said to myself
"Buddy! If you don't put the cologne
on and look after your tummy..nobody
will cry on your last day"
I won't peacefully sleep all night
until I proudly say...
'This is mine'

I try my best to show you
how much I care
But you don't want me there
You take advantage of everything
I always feel bad when I see
them shaking you so terrible
Emotionally...
You only make a call when they
don't want to talk
It is hard to close the book of
You and I
Why are you so repulsive?
Do we really need to act happy with
other people whereas we are not?
Just to hurt each other?
We always find the wrong  address
when we look for love
The coordinates of my map highlights
your name
Let's drop down whatever that causes
the tension
And give each other what we deserve

My brain was on fire
I wanted some fresh air
The fire fighters apologized
for failing to do their job..
We met at the club
The strong water penetrated not
I broke a bottle of 'blush'
My emotions were all over the floor
I thought I would just get wasted
and erase everything..
Tiny brain!!
I found a fresh and strong flower
In the midst of withered ones
with worms.
I was flabbergasted!
And a word of wisdom pulled my pinna
so hard and said to me...
"It is a great blessing to get the
experienced ones with direction"
The so said 'good ones' who have never
seen what to choose from
Are hypnotized and the bomb of new
sweet things might break one's heart
Into pieces and clean up everything
With acid.

There are a lot of things
we admire in life..
The world has a lot of treasures
But we don't always get what we
abuse our sweat glands for..
Sometimes..
We just learn to live with it
and find happiness
in every void especially when it is natural
And can't be changed..
As we grow older,we swallow a lot
of hot thorns close to dry rivers..
And cool ourselves with our own saliva
Hatred beeps..
Bitterness fades...
Independence forcefully engages itself
Green becomes green
Red becomes red
Only the committed and patient ones
Get to see the light at the end of the
tunnel..

Buven ThePoet

We just met
But I already feel what I should
have felt a long time ago..
The World needs to know not
As long as I am happy.
I am more committed to grooming
what I have just received..
Unforced love!
If there's something to tell
The smoke will choke everyone
I would rather fly and land wherever
the wind would take me
Than to sit down and listen to
'Everything will be alright'
That has grown grey hair..
What's the use of dying in misery
whereas the World has a lot of options?
I only pay attention to good news..

My prayer is that I do good
I was looking at the stars
I saw the new me appearing
slowly,slowly and slowly..
I won't need any darkness
to shine more brighter..
They will need shades to keep an
eye contact..
I am not over myself.
Let me whisper my heart pass code
into your ear
You will only find a soul that is down
to Earth..
Is it protocol that one should get results
Of what they have done wrong only?
What happens to seeds of good fruits
that we plant?
I don't remember planting a seed on
top of a rock..
I have been waiting for long
It is time I claimed the good things
that I have worked hard for.
The happiness that I deserve..

My daily thoughts take no break
When the sun rests..
The inner me speaks
The inner me
connects to positivity.
When I have a lot on my plate
They all run away for a piece...
I gnaw and swallow
the bones alone..
My oesophagus asked for a break.
It is hard to control this ship
The wind has my address only..
I just hear throngs whispering
I don't understand their jargon
I need some space
A break from everything
I want to polish up my direction
And do what I do with new,great
and strong courage.

I have been trying
to think straight
But whatever I say
nobody relates
I thought I would see blood
in my wound
But just pills that my body rejected
If I wasn't an aloe in this environment
I would have withered a long time ago
I care not about my age
I have completed a lot of life assignments
I don't have enough time to sleep
I change my walk at night
Defence mechanism!
I am looking for a life time blessing

A good day of celebration..
A good day of honour.
We celebrate his day and strengthen
the bond.
Families come together and put
aside the conflicts and unfair
Judgements..
This is a good day to wrap up everything
And allow new bliss to reconnect us..
Regardless of what,the family has
to make history of this day
We are all equal before him.
Not every family will have a great
Buffet to attract all the neighborhood.
Though people will make comparisons
And laugh at those who will look like
they are mourning on this day..
God is taking good control of the
steering wheel..
Be careful of the words you utter
when you are financially stable
And blow a fair merry Christmas..

I hate crying
The sharp razors in my tears
ruin my face
I thought..
I would  never  take any drug
But the system hits the limit
The smile you see on my face
Is not fake nor real
I don't know how to explain it
But just know that I don't feel it!
I always give people hope
That I have not
And guess what ?
They do pull through
I am trying to keep what's 'Confidential'
Confidential..
But poverty attracts broadcast
My dreams sound like dominance
But all I need
Is to take good care  of my territory

Buven ThePoet

That's not where you belong
You always cry and walk
In the dark alone..
Are you waiting for them
To change?
Don't you think that you are
Just irrigating the pain?
They don't listen to your 'No'
It drags down your self-esteem
Low!
They don't plan anything with you
Boom!
Everything is just out of the blue
They are taking advantage of your
Deep smile
Disengage pro bono!
Don't put thorns in your heart
Not everybody is poisonous
Just ask before you open the door

A good night wish
Is no good night with
An empty stomach...
Don't give me your fake smile
When we bump into each other
And tell me that you miss me..
Whereas you know that you don't
Answer my calls when I need you.
You always check my updates
So that you can weigh the respect
You want to give me..
Don't cry when I am no more
You might need more of that energy
For your show off!
I know the pain of watching
The people you love
Go to bed hungry...
I am hitting the rock!
Utter no touching speech
To prove your empathy in my
Presence...
Bring forth something touchable

Buven ThePoet

Let me hit this straight
Please concentrate...
I was trying to get the motivations
And all...
But I never heard him preaching..
I was still thinking..
I thought I was happy
Until you popped up again
In my life...
Are you trying to own my heart?
What is it that you stole
Within me?
I always feel alive and new
In your presence..
I thought...
'Walking separate ways'
Would make us different!
Guess what..
I was just preparing myself for us
Let's just build this special thing
Together between us...
And be who we are.

She sang the song twice..
I couldn't even say 'Nice'
I was a bit hypnotized
Something was glowing in
Her eyes...
All the words she uttered
Were valid...
Hits different!
I took my time and listened
To her easing voice..
And I was like
Oh yeah!
This is a raw medication
For the whole year..
She always start the conversation
With what I do best..
Positive!
I thought I was a loser
Until she introduced me to the
Other better side of Life..
Hallelujah

Buven ThePoet

I have never met the *****
Before...
But he is helping me to plant
Something productive within me
Bigger!
He is not a cardiologist
But he knows how to mend the heart.
Fully So!
I have learnt a lot of things from him
I am highly motivated!
I always check his updates
And everything...
What a great ***** with good morals!
I am not just a fan
I meditate On his blessed lines..
Good music!
His album is on my first aid kit...
He boosts my Self-esteem...
I have learnt how to work hard
And focus on my goal
Because of his hard work..
He engages positivity and
Ignores insults...
Humble !

Buven ThePoet

I have lost a lot of people
In my life..
Some are still alive...
Walking graves!
Does it make sense?
Meditate on it..
They lost the signal
We have become complete strangers
The book of reconciliation
Is rare and expensive...
Am I building a foundation on
A wet land?
I don't see any light here!
It is so hard to grow on your own
Why is everybody killing my empathy?
I have learnt how to spell 'betrayal'
At an early age..
I don't have sufficient time to prove
Myself..
I just want to bless myself and everyone
Around me with bliss

Buven ThePoet

I have been searching
Searching and searching..
All around the globe
But nothing gave me hope..
I have learnt and discovered
A lot of things on my own..
I don't mind being alone.
That's why they all conclude
That I am cold..
I need something way much better
Than a big mansion..
A home.
I don't need someone who is perfect
To everyone..
But to me.
I need you to be you
And I will be me..
The real thing between us will match
The puzzle with concrete..

Buven ThePoet

These are not tattos..
Take a closer look.
My tears dried out!
I thought it was okay to cry
When something hurts..
Until I wiped off my own tears
Make a promise
Keep it not
And see if I would be disappointed.
My heart got broken..
A thousand times.
I am studying the last page of this
Book of Cardiology..
Independence flows within
My vessels.
I don't want to go around and
Give people motivations that
They didn't ask for..
Let me just go straight to the
Department Of Education
And register my Course.
I am not perfect
But my words are different..

Buven ThePoet

Allow me to treat your heart
Right..
I need you to call and tell them
That You alright!
I have no eight pistons
I would give you a ride..
Your privacy and safety
Comes first...
I would walk with you during
The night..
But I have no xenon light..
Worry not..
That's just for now..
Enough with the flood!
Stop dehydrating yourself...
Even if you were wrong
But you deserve no such pain..
You wouldn't have shown them
Your other bitter side..
If they valued your presence..
Disconnect all those old corroded
Chains..
No Varnish!
We are connecting new ones..
You derseve better!

Buven ThePoet

No gold chains On..
But then life moves On.
I was just a kid with no toys..
Now I live my choice..
I have never been fake..
Everybody knows this face..
I always keep it real
And feed my dream..
My wallet lost weight
That's why I always go to bed
Late...
I am still drawing the same old
Plan...
My fingers are married to the pen
I always think.
Just to assure that I never run out
Of Ink..
I don't just want to appear on
The big screen..
I need to leave a great history.

Buven ThePoet

I need your presence..
Don't cry when I cry.
I am not an infant
But I need a shoulder to
Cry on...
May you hold this candle
For me until dawn..
I need you trust me and believe
In what you don't see...
I am living In a different World
Please hold my hand..
This vision is too hard to explain.
I know your stomach hurts..
So is mine.
Let's do this together and prove
Your real love to me now
On these withered leaves..
Every soul that will introduce
Itself when the leaves are
favoured by the new environment..
They will be considered as
Acquaintances..

Buven ThePoet

There are some things
I can't control...
I always knock at your door
But you don't call...
I always smell a different cologne
On your bed...
I always bring you your favourite
Flowers..
But..
No word of mine makes sense
To you..
All zero!
I hate it when you cry..
But you lied!
Something died within me.
Your tears are just salty drops
To me...
I thought you would make me proud
But you broke down the crown..
Thank you for the map..
Your heart is everywhere.
Why would I look for something
That is common?
