Itumeleng Nyakatya Poet Free verse

I Can'T Write

So full of emotions, 
But I can't write 
Orchestrated temptations 
Now my heart doesn't beat right 
I thought strength wins against temptations 
But pain chokes 
The spirit breaks 
Lessons from old folks 
In me the king of fools wakes 
Tears dries quick 
Mind and heart misled 
My love you forgot so quick 
Heart bleeds as it once bled 

Suicidal thoughts 
Slipping on reality courts 
My all not good enough 
Walking straight and narrow 
Your faith not strong enough 
Dipped and shamed in sorrow 
Words hard to utter 
Fluent in lies, 
In truth you stutter 

I break easily 
Love strong and hard 
Promises broken easily 
Love resides deep beneath the reefs of my heart 
Ferocious, lies stings 
Rare things and nice things 
Brutal 
Tongue of a broken promise stinks 
What is meant to be will be 
And what is meant to be let it be 
'Cause life is not always a metaphor 
Sweet lies we always have been waited for 
Arena of sugar coated reality 
Heart building a pyramid of guilt 
Mystery of iniquity 
Reality of immorality 

Your eyes windows to the truth you hide 
Guilt and shame on high tides 
Quest to surf the ocean of truth 
Breaking the branch and the root 
Of what caused us to lie 
And caused us to die... 
In silence 
Our words becomes silent 

So full of emotions 
But I can't write 
Heavy on emotions 
But I can't fight 

I never said a word 
But my heart is not silent 
Lost our ways 
But the pendulum of karma swings both ways
