Umbilical Cord
Buven ThePoet Dec 2019
The time will come.
For you to cut off
The umbilical cord...
The bond will die
And resurrect..
One way or another
Independence has to be engaged.
I know how it feels to always
Think about your offspring
Before you fill your Own tummy up..
I have seen the scars and spears
On your back...
Thank you for being my Shield.
It is time I stepped on the coals
And thorns that you have been
Protecting me from all these years.
I was too young to understand your riddles...
Now I know how to match the puzzles..

The Dark
Buven ThePoet Dec 2019
I want to do what is right.
I am living in the dark..
I need a bright light.
I am suffocating!
May somebody please take off
The plastic on my face..
Please don't push me to talk..
My tongue is dry...
I have been praying all night.
I can't walk..
Please pick me up and tell me
That everything Will be alright..
I need a new compass.
My taste buds are off to bed..
Everything just taste bad
To me.
They have been stepping on my toes..
Let me take off these bandages..
Wait
No!
I need no revenge..
I just want to make it
And hit a great toast..

Antelope
Buven ThePoet Nov 2019
I know that your lips
Are shining...
But not really shining..
Your leaves withered..
You always smile and pretend
Like everything is okay..
My pupils are in a good condition.
I know that you have your own
Heart desires..
But you always put me first..
I always feel your shadow on my face
In the middle of the night...
Your wing is warm inside
But Cold outside..
Your intestine has no visible hole.
I can hear your stomach groaning
From afar...
But you always sacrifice and keep
Your real love for me.
So that I may never go to bed hungry..
I wish I was an antelope..
I would be walking and doing everything
By myself now..

On your Own
Buven ThePoet Nov 2019
I trust you.
But I know not of what attracted
You at first..
I always see diamonds that would
Fit on your left finger..
But I know not of your future
Picture..
You used to filter your words before
You utter..
But now...
You just pull out the fish with its mud
And feed me..
Whenever I agree to disagree with
Your one-sided decision..
You just bust down the door
And run to whoever you find
Your temporary bliss from..
You won't understand
Until it's your turn to dive In..
Because I've warned you.
I might not be around to perform
The 'Mouth to mouth resuscitation'

New Seed
Buven ThePoet Nov 2019
Thank you for planting
A new seed inside of me..
It is germinating way much
better than alien plants...
I have found a great Shadow.
My calluses are smooth.
What's the secret?
You always come up with a new
Agenda..
Where were you all this time?
You have erased everything..
What is the meaning of 'Pain'
Does it hurt?
Is it bitter?
No No No!
Please close that dictionary..
I am okay on this positive side
Of life..
Let's kneel together and meditate
On his Word...

S E E K I N G
Buven ThePoet Nov 2019
I don't want to paint you..
They might fail to resurrect you.
You won't understand the type
Of hardship I am going
Through...
Even if you felt the pain too.
I have a  touching background..
But!
I won't talk about it until I get
The courage to say..
"I am good now!"
I always call and check up
On them..
Though I know that
There's nothing that I can do.
I do not have enough gastric juice
To help me digest everything here..
My Lord...
Help me!
I don't want to exhale smoke from
My nostrils But the Stainless Steel
pipes...

Never regret
Buven ThePoet Nov 2019
I have a lot to say..
Don't have too much empathy
On me..
I swear I'm okay...
Let me just watch my mouth
I respect my mom..
Let me utter what's relevant..
This is not the parliament..

I don't wake up in the morning
And walk like I am modelling
I am doing this for a living..
This is more than 'just a calling'
Don't show me your emergency door
I am not leaving!

Borrow me that plier..
I don't want to be a liar.
I have made a lot of promises
I hate opposites.

I want to sit down one day..
And reconnect the bond,hey!
I want to fulfill everything that
I have promised...
And give all the dusty stuff
Some polish!
So that they never regret my calling!

Continental drift
Buven ThePoet Nov 2019
We  didn't choose this..
We had a lot of dreams
We expected no continental drift.
We hate these thorns all over
Our bodies..
There was no other choice..
We had to adapt fully to this new
Environment...
You always see a smoke
In our eyes...
There are a lot of things burning
Inside!
They always hit the rock and find
Water inside..
How is that possible?
We go straight to the sea
But...
We find no drop of water!
May somebody please check
If the clock is not stuck..
This desert is too dry and hot...

Lady On keys
Buven ThePoet Nov 2019
You don't have to talk...
Just demonstrate that walk.
Who taught you how to finger
These keys..
You know how to command your
Motion..
I know that
I can trust you with my heart..
You know how to ring the bell..
It is not fragile.
But you treat it like your first
offspring..
I had no interest in 'night Talks'
But you introduced me to
Different owls..
I value every second with you..
You're making a big difference.

Own Alphabets
Buven ThePoet Nov 2019
If I had the authority
I would create my own alphabets..
They have been lied to..
So many times.
Some have used the bricks of lies
To build up their foundations..
No word of romance is valid
To them...
Love is a myth in their world...
I do...
Understand and feel their pain.
No matter how hard you try
To squeeze yourself in..
Your words won't find a match in
Their puzzles...
When you try to persuade them..
They just cry and think of blisters..
I am still building a 'rocket of trust'
I need to arouse the pleasure  
And give every aorta the opportunity
To pump bliss...

The Duration
Buven ThePoet Nov 2019
I have a lot of questions..
But I just keep it zipped
Because I always get the wrong
Answers..
If this is a trial..
They might have mistakenly doubled
The duration..
I have burnt my old diary to ashes..
But I just keep on writing
The same notes on the new one.
They say that..
Time heals
Unfortunately they don't have batteries
That would fit in my watch...
My knees are as hard as concrete.
Sometimes..
I run out of words and Just repeat myself..
I wish there was a rocket to get there.
I wouldn't waste too much of my energy with the receptionist...
I would run straight to him..

Own protocol
Buven ThePoet Nov 2019
Sometimes...
I just pray because I have
Made my own protocol...
Frankly..
I am thirsty for your Call..
Sometimes..
I just feel like I have won
This battle...
No!
I don't like this medal..
I wasn't expecting  'Bronze'..
Pause!
No hands of applause..
Not really that....
I was  expecting 'Gold'
But for me..
That would be a great Goal..
You know that I fully commit myself.
I even gnaw..
Let me just bow..
It seems like I am unfolding
Too much now...

What's In your heart
Buven ThePoet Nov 2019
Don't hide your stretch marks
You are doing just fine..
It is oily
But I find it more attractive..
Raw as it is!
Put no dust on it..
What's in your heart?
Let me listen to your pulse..
Wow!
I am so proud..
You won't let me down..
I have no doubt.
Let me note this down.
I thought I would be
In this hole forever..
Thank You for pushing
In the ladder..
I can feel the difference..
I promise I won't keep any distance..

Holy Letter
Buven ThePoet Nov 2019
I know that you see no ring
On my finger...
But...
I don't need any picture
Of us..
I have captured a lot
of memories..
I am just waiting for blessings.
I am not ashamed of you..
I just don't see anything new..
I am thirsty for real love..
I am breathing.
But I don't feel alive..
You won't see any tears...
I have dragged down
All my fears..
Let me just write a holy letter
And give a proper description..
I am tired of being an option.

Fake Profile
Buven ThePoet Nov 2019
She asked for starched papers..
I changed my pass codes..
I thought she was a gold digger..
I bought her flowers...
She gave me a half-smile..
I asked her out On a date
And introduced her to expensive
Dishes...
She shot no pic for Insta.
I asked if she could sleep over..
She kept on walking away...
I insisted!
She obeyed..
I rode my hands all over her body..
I heard her stomach groaning..
I nearly licked blood..
I payed attention to everything.
She wanted nothing fancy
But the satisfaction of her needs
And inner happiness..
She pulls up her handbrake so hard
When it comes to impressing the World
Whereas the box is empty inside..
I was too forward and immature..
I am dropping down the fake profile!

Broken and Toxic
Buven ThePoet Nov 2019
I locked up my feelings..
Please don't try to convince me..
You won't even relate to what
I am feeling...
Don't be deceived by everything that you see here...
You might hate what you will hear..
Please believe me..
There is no peace here...
You think You have a thing for me?
No!
This is not what you need
believe me..
It is just a passing phase..
I don't hate you..
I just don't want to stain that face..

Don't wake me up
Buven ThePoet Nov 2019
Don't just hold me tight
Make a room for me in your heart..
I am tired of roaming around hostels
In every season...
I need a permanent crib..
I don't need you to take me out..
I have found what I have been
Looking for..
I was so obsessed with Fiction movies
I didn't know that a candle light dinner was real...
Is this a fantasy World?
Or some sort of a dream?
Please don't wake me up!
I hate it when you smile in Public..
I know I won't blush alone..
I am glad that you always meet me
Half-way...
You appreciate my efforts..
Let's protect this bond..
You're more than a partner to me
Kudos Pal!

Dear Mama
Buven ThePoet Nov 2019
I always remember
What you told me..
You are a great heroine.
Thank you for registering my name
God knows me mama!
I always miss the love and warmth
Under your wings..
I am really grateful that you took me
Out of that Incubator...
I wouldn't be able to smell predators from afar..
I know how to feed and Protect
Myself now..
You always find a way to make me
Smile..
I do...
Need to buy a ticket.
But I am not ready to stand and make
A proper Presentation at home..
I haven't completed my mission Yet.
I made an oath mama...
I need you to plan a weekend getaway and make deposits whenever you want to..
May God Bless the hustle..
I adore you.

Hike and heal
Buven ThePoet Nov 2019
Is that a tear In your eye?
Oh!
Sorry...Hi
Are you sure that you don't want
To take a walk...
Because it seems like there is
Something wrong..
I am not trying to replace anybody
Here...
I just want to take you there..
I know how you feel..
But you can trust me
I need you to hike up to the hill..
Just make sure that you heal.
You might have had good times
And all...
With whoever that you captured
Memories with...
But if their heart is somewhere else
Now..
You have to understand and adapt
To the new environment..

LOST AND FOUND
Buven ThePoet Nov 2019
I've been through a lot in Life..
I've never experienced Love.
To me..
Life was rough
Not just rough but tough..
I never thought I could survive..
But I thank God
Because I am still alive..
I have been living through tragedy..
I was never healed by Comedy.
But now
I have just turned everything into jokes..
So that I could never be trapped by stroke..
I don't even wish to go back to that life again..
Because it has no gain..
The place where you end up in is jail..
My favourite thing in Life was Vibe..
I was never a good guy..
But all I believe is that it shall all pass..
And I will be fine..
My Lord opened the ways
No more waste..
I am going to improve..
Because I have a lot to prove..

Dear Unborn
Buven ThePoet Nov 2019
Dear Unborn..
The keys are with me..
I have a lot of bullets here.
But I am not ready to shoot..

Be patient..
I am still preparing and gathering something for you...
This long weird scar.
Proves something..
Bravery I think
You might not survive..

I am not trying to be a hero
But I have to take each and every
Stone thrown upon me..
To pave and build a strong foundation
For you...

I will save everything..
Please don't cry..
Just study the notes and prepare
Something great for the next generation..
