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'

I will die for this
Buven ThePoet Feb 2020
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

Merry Christmas
Buven ThePoet Dec 2019
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..

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..

Cable of feelings
Buven ThePoet Mar 2020
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

Resolution
Buven ThePoet Feb 2020
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

Torn lips
Buven ThePoet Feb 2020
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

Word of pain
Buven ThePoet Feb 2020
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

As we grow
Buven ThePoet Jan 2020
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..

Being a teacher
Buven ThePoet Jan 2020
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..

New star
Buven ThePoet Jan 2020
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..

I hear you now Mama
Buven ThePoet Mar 2020
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

You and I
Buven ThePoet Jan 2020
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

Genuine
Buven ThePoet Feb 2020
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

Rather drown
Buven ThePoet Jan 2020
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 am here to stay
Buven ThePoet Feb 2020
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

Midst of worms
Buven ThePoet Jan 2020
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.

This is mine
Buven ThePoet Jan 2020
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'

Unforced
Buven ThePoet Jan 2020
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..

Worth waiting
Buven ThePoet Jan 2020
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.

— The End —
