A Poem: A Cry for Recognition*


Our father land and place of abode
Filled with a bunch of greedy toads
We cry day and night in sufferings attire
Yet it's as if there's no prayer, and no fire

The poor are almost licking the dust
Love is not in their hearts 'cause its gone rust
The land flowing with innocent blood
When will you hear us, O God!


You promised not to leave your own
Your servants are slaughtered by devils that are known
Vigils, fastings and yet they're still there
God, please, come over here


We're like a tiny finger rising in a large sea
Not recognized by even, the nearest friend, nor the scary sea
We're like tiny ants on the sand
Lord, we plead that you hold our hands


Mercy, Lord we plead
Let our land and homes your eyes see
Lead us through life's troubled sea
Let your fear in our leaders be


Open your ears to our prayers
Let us hide in your loves layers
Hear us, Lord in deep contrition
We cry Lord for your Recognition.

A Poem: Bleeding Heart.*(A Duet)

Bound so strong by loves cord
I placed my heart in your word
I never knew you'd cut that heart
I trusted you, but you sold my heart.
© Daniels Pen ™✍️✍️✍️ 2021.


Stars and moon were our love witnesses,
The beautiful moments we spent besides each other,
But you decided to cut my heart into pieces,
My heart is in Soo much pain.
©Sophycynthiapoetry ✍️✍️ 2021.


I cherished you
You sold me like the Jew
My heart bleeds in sorrows state
You've disstabilzed my brains state.
© Daniels Pen ™✍️✍️✍️ 2021.


Wish I saw the light on this,
Never thought on letting us go,
Until you decided to wound an innocent heart,
Remain unable to bail my heart out.
© Sophycynthiapoetry 2021.


You loved other's
Left my heart to obey sadness orders
You shared, what I thought was mine, alone
You've cut me deep with unfaithfulness cone.
© Daniels Pen ™✍️✍️✍️ 2021.


Why did it have to be me?
To bear all this painful marks,
All across my innocent self,
Broken and shuttered I remain.
© Sophycynthiapoetry ✍️✍️✍️ 2021.

Sorrow has been my companion
Regrets have been made in my heart, a champion
Love is no more a true philosophy
My heart is in a *** of catastrophy.
© Daniels Pen ™✍️✍️✍️ 2021.


Defined love like an egg,
Once broken can't be fixed,
That's how you left my heart,
Broken not to be fixed,My bleeding heart it is.

A Poem: How Long?*


Today on the mountain,
Tomorrow in the valley of sin, so strong
Consistency with God, I can't maintain
Conquered by sin, I cry, How Long?

I tried by my power,
Yet its force is more than my tongue,
The more I tried, the more I went lower,
O! The rapture is near, my fearful heart wonders, How Long?

This ******* is above me,
"Lord, Forgive me" is become my song,
Lord, I'm fed up, but please, look upon me,
Days are going, I wonder, How Long?



Self-management couldn't savage,
I keep dancing to sins gong,
The adamic nature, Lord, will me, ravage
Death is drawing near, I cry, How Long?

Like a caged pigeon,
I've been singing, the freedom song,
Yet, I remain in that cage every season,
Others are growing, but here am I, I cry, How Long?


Like a football,
I'm tossed to and fro, by satans throng,
Lord, Please hear my call,
O! Dear Lord, How Long?


I cry day and night,
I try to rise but sin holds me with its tongs
I can no more behold, O Lord, your sight,
Have mercy Lord, How Long?

A Poem: Who writes?( A Nonet)*


When other poems and muse are evicted,
When your heart did least expect it,
When He wants to use the pen,
His Spirit gives you lens,
Out of the useless,
The world's speechless,
When He grips,
Who writes?
God!

A Poem: Poverty: A Crime?*


Opening my eyes to see,
I never had a choice to make,
What family and country to be,
If I had the power, I'd poverty rake,


I found myself in a home,
Though, happy, but not swimming in affluence,
We are managing, with little, or not, enough for a vacation in Rome,
Yet, I believe that one day, I'll have influence,


We lived in a thatched house,
Grew up in a poor home,
My Dad, tried his best on hardworks blouse,
We refused, to others,be cumbersome,


If I had the power,
I'd change the present fortune,
If I had the power,
We'll all forget all misfortunes


I hawked for food,
Sometimes, I helped the bricklayer,
We used a cloth from childhood,
Till we were grown, to enjoy riches was our prayer


So, why treat us like rags,
Like we don't exist,
Like we're carrying the criminals bag,
Why blow us with hatreds fist,


If our misfortunes was inherited,
Could we change it without prayers?
Even, after some prayers, we're still low spirited,
We just pray and keep hope alive in loves layer


If our being poor is a crime,
Do we now, vanish into space?
We believe our riches, would come with time,
Your pace of success is not our own pace.

A Poem: I'd Never regret*

I've met a lot of people,
Through lifes rugged road,
But you've always been a good eagle,
That has carried me amidst your minds load.



Trapped, treated poorly, despised,
Yet you never left me,
Depressed, defamed , slandered,
Yet your heart is in me.


Your words of encouragement,
Moments we spent with each other,
Coming like the cool breeze of the night, in total agreement,
You wash away hopelessness with your words lather.


Other's may try to distract me,
Fighting to get me deterred,
But none has done, a half of what you've done for me,
I refuse to from you, be whirred.


Sometimes, I sit and renumerate,
I bless God for bringing you across my life's maths set,
Your good deeds not just for me, I can't enumerate,
You breathed hope into me, indeed, meeting you is what I'd never regret.

A Poem: Unbreakable Hearts*

Like the cold in the night
It gripped me tight
After we saw ourselves in each other's eyes
Our hearts dropped hypocrisy and its lies


Like the snail glued to its spittle
We're glued in loves tickle
Like the stain from the fluid in the cashew fruit
Your acts of love are always on my hearts suit


It's as if the world revolves around us
Blinded, obsessed and overtaken by this feeling, so precious
Ever since we met, our hearts has got a pink face
No challenge can create between us, a space


This tie, formed by love can not be broken
Due to fondness token
Faithfulness leads the way and all condiments of love
As indispensable as the air we breathe, so are we to each other in the city of love


Seasons may come and go
Tides may rise and fall in its ego
This bond has come to keep, forever our hearts
Passion has made our hearts, unbreakable hearts.
