"merrying" poems
I remember
How we first met
I was at d door post
And you were approaching the same post
With your classic smile
That lifts the birth dot
At the right corner of your lips
I remember
Your first word to me
You greeted me
"Hey"with a smile
That melt my heart at once
I could also remember
That I adore you from the start
And my heart kept moving on a spot
As we speak on
I could remember I smiled back
But you look away not with a frown
I wouldn't forget moments after
That we became glued
As lovers
And I could remember
I'd wished silently
That if I were a boy
You would be my crush
I can't forget how your simplicity
Caught me tripping
And your accent
That flows
Like a spanish breed
I can't forget the first stories we shared together
It was in your self contain
Where you scooting with some duo
I could remember you came out first
Told me how your heart was burnt
With the sharp edges of thorns
And how you'd gone on a long vacation
Not wanting to love
I could remember it all
How can I forget
I wouldn't forget the secrets we shared
And the living cheer that told me
You've got a new news
Wouldn't use good
Cos memories of the news later turned sour
Its was like merrying go rounding the flames of doom
I remember when your smile turned down
And as though you yell inside
You could still force some
When distant friends would think its real
I remember I'd wish that I blow your pains away
How could I forget how your position bears weight
And at 19,you already 39
Cos the breadwinner loses the bread
And as the first
You bruised your kneels
To back your siblings
I can never forget how that turns out
The thorns of separation
Hastened your smile to fade
And you wouldn't know which one to choose
As the hullabaloo at home
Gave you grey hairs
How I wish I could cast a spell
Not to harm
But to smooth your pain at ease
As watching you glow into blue
Kept my heart red
And the heaviness of yours
That weighed mine down
I wouldn't forget when you let go
You claimed you met him at the door way
You exchanged numbers and became friends
When you told me I thought I saw a ray of smile
Yes,that it was and I knew you were alive again
But then I knew things seems all wrong
Our friendship sink while yours grew with his
You party hard and though forget your pains
And as it keeps up
We lost the touch of time
At first I thought we were still close
But this "him" drew you further away
With the help you need
He would wrapped you with care
Spoil you with things
You had left overs to share
Alas! My bestfriend became every elses friend
I no longer feel the hold of you
And as the glitters of life rally round your eyes
I could see that the sweet innocent girl
Dancing away....

I crawled quietly off the day's activity
My head was still banging hard like the hit of a starved lover boy
Coupled with the blessing of downpour upon the earth some hours before
Retiring to my spacious room with nothing but the beauty of a carpet
Upon the supposed protection of my duvet
A merrying sound of some uninvited guests dancing towards my crib
They all beamed so well with a sweet smile on their face
Their chants wasn't victorious as it supposed to be
But a beautiful chants of conspiracy and rebellion
I cannot be a target I murmured under my large cover
Yeeh!!!
I'm hurt
They all drag my flesh among each other
This is unfair
My heart cry for help but my mouth has been muted
It was suppose to be a celebration of whatever
But here they are feasting on my already tiring body
How come you all want to feast but forget your meal at home
I asked one thousand and one times
I hope I will find something within me when the sunrise
Upon this sadness
I laid myself totally for their evil party
