BETWEEN LOVERS
HOPE Mar 2022
Beloved soul,
The symbol of our love,
Is a moving vehicle,
Forever steady, yet not ready to reach the destination.

EXPIRY DATE
HOPE Feb 2022
I fell in love
And out of love with you
When truthfulness expired between us.

HOPE Feb 2022
Sometimes I dive in the ocean I'm unable to swim,
Too deep and three hundred and sixty degree freezing,
A trauma on its own right?

Well, I drown while wearing my smiling face,
with no one to pull me up,
but a pen and a piece of a paper.

AN ANGEL OF NO COMPASSION
HOPE Feb 2022
The execution take place without our Will,
Yes! No! Steadfast or not,
The Angel shows no compassion.

You board the train already geared to take off,
With no alert who will be getting off from here,
You or the passenger next to you!
HOPE Feb 2022
Incriminating of oneself to criminal prosecution,
Into a place where its dark and cold as highways of California
Hands on my back bound to bottom in chains,
With no where to hide

A long walk to freedom,
As I drag my feet to the right,
And look up in the sky with my eyes closed
Finally, I could see a tiny cloud to liberation of Sunday morning blues.

ROAD OF AGONY
HOPE Feb 2022
I would close my eyes everytime,
So you didn't get to read between the line,

HOUSE WITH NO HOME
HOPE Feb 2022
No embrace,
No affection,
Just a titanic building called a house,
With no warmth of your nature

Just so you know,
You took our home with you!

LONG OVERDUE
HOPE Feb 2022
Debts get written off,
whenever a debtor become insolvent
And I wonder why it can't be the same procedure,
for the agony shrouded deep within
It has been long overdue.

NOT DELIVERED
HOPE Feb 2022
I kept missing you each moment,
And I scribbled you a text
It came back in the twilight,
Not delivered!

THE WORLD OF ATTACHMENT
HOPE Feb 2022
With fists on air ready to fight,
I came into this world
Separated with a home I only knew,
I let out a soft moan then fell asleep
With a touch of her hand,
I gazed into the world full of uncertainty
And I was attached,
attached to a home that isn't my home
Creating rooms where hatch are forever terminal

I wish we do not have to follow the pattern,
But humans were created to love and be loved,
Love which comes with greater agony
I believe when creation took place,
"Forever" should have form part,
Then we would be together for a lifetime

Yet it begins with one,
Then two becoming one,
And swivel into a family
"Till we meet again in heaven"
Then again, On my own
With my universe turned upside down!

HOPE Feb 2022
This afternoon when the sky was transparent,
Even pasture looked more Greenery,

I danced to the rhythm of my heart,
Had conversations I never had

Yet in the midnight hour,
It rained till the last drop,
With no one to hold the Canopy.

HOPE Jan 2022
No life came with a manual in this universe,
Maybe the ability of pausing oxygen to nasal cavity, yes!

But we keep parading,
On peak and melancholic,
Sometimes with a turtle ramble

Like sand through the hour glass,
So are the days of our lives.

ALL WANNA BE LOVED
HOPE Jan 2022
Not only you and I,
Hound that became a companion,
One you get intimate with,
Either chattels you adore,
That is meant to be loved!
Everything wanna be loved.

HOPE Jan 2022
Few years in, lifetime to go,
Yet this hour feels like yesterday grieve
Unspoken words carried by the wind back to my head,
How I wish we could still have those conversations,
Of my rollercoaster life,
And make a wish in the presence of the moon,
While you plant kisses on my forehead

You are still a resident of this heart!
Like this morning when I dialed your contact,
Only to be reminded of how you reside in heaven now
There is water from the moon on my pillow,
Yet yesterday there were ray of sunshine on my window

Tell you about emotions changing colours as Chameleon,
One moment is white, next moment blue
I am forever engraved

Out of all highways,
I driven on with no destination,
And finally finding one within your heart,
Took my eyes of the steering wheel.

Yet the season came to an end,
Once they realised they were not meant to be

I tell you, sometimes love is never enough.

LOVE TRIANGLE II

Your heart stopped beating out of

When you starred right through my

And fail to notice you were racing

TWO THINGS
HOPE Jan 2022
I idolise it here
And despise it here,

We rekindled our love,
Under the stars,
Looking at the moon
Yet part of me died in here.

ANSWERED DEVOTION
HOPE Dec 2021
I never prayed for you,
I prayed for my soul

For I longed for peace,
I desired love

To see butterflies,
In someone's eyes

As mine sparkle like,
a midnight twilight

I prayed for a brotherly love,
I never experienced

Something to challenge me,
To see a better reflection of me

I never prayed for you,
Yet God gave me you.

HOPE Dec 2021
I am switched back to the factory restore
From fully charged,
to connect your device
Smile within our faces,
to Sunday morning blues
Holy night under the stars,
Christmas carols with burning candles,
and I look at yours with no one to hold it

Our song on the radio "Oh holy night, the son of Mary"
I sing my part, look over my shoulder,
close my eyes, to think I'll hear your voice,
as you sing your part,
yet nothing but breezes of trees

Everything is new even life where you are not on it, it's new
Even this Christmas without you,
is filled with fresh water from the moon
Like Mary, I have embarked on a journey,
I never prepared myself for
Oh! I'm Engraved forever...

On a broken mirror
Clothed with a smile

Stuffed through each pocket,
And secreted miles away
Yet she opened her eyes,
And found everything unpacked

HOPE Nov 2021
I took the photo album out today
Of what we call our frozen memories,
I hold dear to my heart
How I wish I got to hold you forever,
not just these pieces of papers in my hand

Sometimes I hide behind my smile
Sometimes I find a corner and just let it rain
Yet you taught me that every that I misses you,
I must look up in the sky
But there is a tear everytime that I blink
And sometimes I go insane,
neither lose myself when the emotions weighs up

I realized I'm not strong enough when I miss you,
Oh I'm engraved forever...

HOPE Oct 2021
I'm still feeling blue
When I reminisce your smile,
so bright as though the ray of sunlight
yet mine turns cold and lovely
as frost on a windowpane.

I get blue,
When I reminisce your lineaments,
so innocent, the angel you were
And I close my eyes, nearer you are
yet you are so far away.

IT IS GOD
HOPE Oct 2021
When she hold on in a breaking moment
Through emotions no one would understand,
It is Him

When she lays down under the tears of heaven
That ushers tears on her eyes
To the glimpse of heaven,
It is Him

When she think she is healing
Then in between breaks down
Yet never gives up,
It is Him

That uphold her hand
Capture her heart
And never let go,
It is God

SHARE OF SCARS
HOPE Sep 2021
Once upon a time
She found a companion
Who permitted her to sail
Within the pool of his heart,
Became the beats on his lips
Forever and a lifetime
Yet he made her parade
On fractured glasses
As she pick the share of her scars
Sep 2021 · 116
THE END
HOPE Sep 2021
Of what once was called love,
The enigmatic intimacy
sparkling as diamonds
Ocean blue as violets,
Look, it doesn't look red as Roses anymore

Flashback sails within the galaxy
As clouds journeys within the sky
Grief has taken over the dance
And happy feet seem to find no rhythm
In the end all withered, like flowers it did
Sep 2021 · 117
THE VIEW
HOPE Sep 2021
A beautiful Spring Monday
with lilies dancing in the sun
with the melodies of the bees chanting
like happy feets in the musical concert

The butterflies roaming around
wearing their colourful clothing
which they cannot see
yet the world can

It looks overwhelming,
you should see the view
Sep 2021 · 128
WEIRD
HOPE Sep 2021
Its the feeling you feel
Not spoken in so many words
Or in a language precisely understood
Just one word, maybe this and that
But it is unexplainable, as love is
Definitely causing a scar, of holding on
In hope and in faith,
Yet a new day is not so new anymore

Clouds so crystal
And yellow in colour

Streams evaporating
Just flows of recollections,
beautiful reminiscences
Of forever and a lifetime

ENEMY OF MANKIND
HOPE Aug 2021
You vowed lifetime
Yet you gave half of the time

You strategized our alleviation
Within the face of the universe
If I could stroll the heaven with you
Yet you vanished, all alone
And captured half of my heart

Split second on the clock
Ticking and ticking soundlessly
To forecast we are running against time
Maybe I would have mastered to let go

But look, the enemy of mankind,
Like a rushing mighty wind came
And grab you within a blink of an eye
And left my heart bleeding
Oh let this God see through this pain,
That I feel entitled to ask "why"
As He effectuated a cryptic pierce within thine heart,
Yet you are stronger up there than you could ever be in here

BELOVED DAUGHTER
HOPE Aug 2021
Worthless and rejected
As your servant Joseph
Yet you carried me through

Discouraged and weary
As your beloved David
Yet you held me close

While the world convinced me
I wasn't meant to be loved
Unconditional love you showed me

I came with nothing
As empty as the sky
Dispirited like a sheep without a shepherd
Yet I became your everything, Daddy!!
God loves me that much

OUR NATION IS BURNING
HOPE Jul 2021
Lying there helpless
Heart beating against the clock
Drowning on the pool of his blood

A lighter in their hands
Burning sensation within them
Blink of an eye, already inhaling smoke
Its flame, flame and flame after flame

Laboratory, hospitals in flames
Coffins in the middle of the roads
Corpses decomposing in houses
"Brown is brainless" they say

I close my ears
To the sound of each trigger
As I say a silent prayer
"God, preservation of life"

Smell peace for the last time
As white swivel to red
Then red to ashes
Back to before 1994, I long to see freedom

Because our nation is burning
Pray for South Africa. All feels like a horror
Jul 2021 · 488
STILL
HOPE Jul 2021
Maybe I believed too much in their intimacy
That I unlearned to indoctrinate this brittle heart
Pros and cons of disappointment
Now it all feels like hallucinations
That can never swivel into authenticity
Maybe I just believed much in the tale
Yet they took it as a play
Still I feel broken

Mama, Happy birthday
HOPE Jun 2021
Many years ago
On this very day
God allowed you
To share your loudest cry
Turning into a contagious smile

A visionary
A lover
A mother
Who even lost one of her breed
I call you a general with scars

Here I am
With the pen in my palm
Strolling smoothly like a silk cloth
Yet I thought the ink would be dry
But how will it dry on a special day,
When the poet only release what is buried deep inside?
It is my mother birthday, and I told myself I will not write long caption as words are never enough.

POETRY
HOPE Jun 2021
Poetry is a song
Full of mellifluous verses
Written within the galaxy

Once you start rendering
It keeps flowing
As though the sky is pouring
Leaving you mesmerized
As if the ink can be stoppable

BEFORE MY DAY IS DONE
HOPE Jun 2021
When my day is done
The heart stop beating
I breath the last breath
Close my eyes for the last time
And the sound of my voice is no more,

Don't shed a tear,
If you've never done
in my breaking moments

Don't come for night vigil,
If you've never came for a visit
in my most trying times

Don't put flowers on my tomb,
If you've never let me smell
the fragrance of the lilies
in my happiest times

Love me now
Hug me now
Wipe off tears
From my teary eyes
At this moment
Before my day is done

BROKEN NOT DESTROYED
HOPE Jun 2021
If you parade with your pains,
What would be the significant of smile?
If you parade with each drop of tear,
How are you ought to feel the rain drops?
If you wander with the visibility of your bruises,
What will make the dance circle not be painted red?
If you only hold broken crayons,
How is the rainbow ought to be coloured then?

Yes, you are broken,
Yet not destroyed

And love found home

WRITERS PRESCRIPTION
HOPE May 2021
Every word said
Just felt unsaid
Wounds appearing healed
Unnoticeable kept bleeding
Like a drop of water on a loose tap

Only the smell of an ink
With the turn of each page
Wet with each tear,
Understood the procedure
Of her words becoming a prescription

Put on her shield
Raise the double-edged sword
Placed within the palm of her hand
Just like Moses she will lead

Clothed with piety
Take on the sling, put on stones
Mouth full of praises
Like David she will subdue

A warrior of exactitude
Rising against the Amorite
Full of dispute
To authenticate

Possessing like Joshua
Dominating like Judah
And birthing new creation like Mary
For she is of Jesus Nation

LOVE
HOPE May 2021
I asked him the other day
"Do you love me?"
He placed my hand in his beating heart
Whispered on my ears with his calming voice
Opened my eyes to read between the lines
And made me taste the liquid from his well
Until butterflies were chanting on our heads
And he said "That is love"
May 2021 · 75
GRATITUDE
HOPE May 2021
Yes, life is worth more than dollars
A piece of diamond treasured
A sweet aroma through bunch of lillies
Even a kiss in the sunset in the middle of nowhere

Death, Life,
Still beyond human control
But I'd choose none today
Yet I choose "thank you"
If I choose gratitude, I'll still be given life because a grateful heart attract more right?
