dear my dead......
am in a frozen trance trying to
jot down all that's in my head
donned in forced air of solemnity
and my life time couple: sorrow
i need to borrow a single slice
of our past
and recall our last time together
as memories stream in thick and fast

first i have been spending my sleepless
nights shirtless
struttling aimlessly  the cold kissing
my pale skin
as i uphold one hand on my beardless chin
ogling at the naked night i search your face
among million stars
wishing i could freeze time space
and race to that place your soul rests
even if it means going to mars

at times i stirs from my seize
when i sneeze because of the cold breeze
i toast a beer to your imaginary image
my mind get vintage glimpse of our times
back then in the village
from the land of silent i know you can
hear my thoughts
maybe you hover near enough to see how
my grieve is tied into agonizing knots
    
i try to concentrate on the serenity of darkness
maybe the distraction will make time move faster
and save me from torture of thinking about you
i take another sip and convince myself every
swallow will drown my sorrow and allow me to sleep
i don't know who i am without you ..
you may be away physically but my heart is still with you
in that four by six bed
my time stands still until i see you again

Dear lord
Hear me God
My shoulder is burdened by a load
Of which i need to offload
Nights are cold
I have nothing to hold
Please don't put me on hold
Am not asking for gold
Lemme just be bold
All i need is to be heard
Before i go bald
And get old
My fate love to hate
Ghosts asked me for a date
Though am not their mate
It may be late
But open open for me your gate
My thirst i need to sate
My hunger i need to bate
Am here tumbling
Hade is there rumbling
Demons are near struttling
My heart they are fondling
My redemption am hustling
And grave is just there ogling
The life has become puzzling
And am tired of struggling

— The End —
