The Lady In Black

Smoke comes off the chimney tops
Trails behind the breeze as the rain drops
Hurdles under the clouds to seek shelter
Disappears in the vapor of a darkest winter

Snapped under my coat I ran to shelter
My steps tracing the trail of glass
Sweat dripped down my palms elevated
I lift my knees and walk agitated

Took a second to notice, a scarf hanging
Neck loose, head bottled, scalp dangling
Cold breath sneaked up and down my neck
As the lady grasped sight of her final dread

My gaze slid under her skirt
Her undone hair and bloody shirt
All climbed to intertwine juxtaposed above
Merciless, spineless, slithering gloves

Ice-clawed eyes stared back in horror
Hands clenched in fists flagrant in color
Put a finger on his lips and whispered
A tone that struck my nerves unhindered

Speak a word and you're next
Don't put my patience to the test
Walk away, disappear, 'cause if I find you
You'll pray that god take you before I do

I couldn't hesitate twice abt walking
Suddenly, he cringed and started falling
Branches broke as his neck followed behind
Snapping backwards, dispersing his spine

I slowly walked over and found a note
To whom it may concern, sloppy hands wrote
I am but a victim, of this woman's throat
the day she stabbed me, the day she spoke

I'm but a lonely spirit roaming free
Why has this lady followed me
To murder all that I loved and once cared for
To sweep off the little things I'd die for

She was Lady Death,  the one we all fear
Seductively laying us to eternal rest
Drove me to heaven, doors slid clear
Her arms wide open, her warm loving chest

Then to hell I went for my earthly deeds
The torture I've seen for all those years
And you're next in a line of slaves
A queue of misery, a farm of graves

Your eyes have seen a deadly charm
Life as you know it is far long gone
Prepare for a sinfully long run
Here she comes, load your gun

One Day

We are not afraid to fall in love but we r afraid not to be loved backed
And right now there r people all over the world who r just like u ,
They r either lonely, they r missing somebody ,they r depressed, they r hurt ,they r scared from the past , they r having personal issue that no one knows abt , they r having secretes u wouldn't believe, 
But one day u will find person 
One day u will fall for the right person
One day u r going to be happy 
One day your anxiety will go 
One day your past wouldn't agonize u 
One day u will live the life u love
One day u will find someone for whom u meant to be
One day 
Trust me ..
One day!!!
If it's not today its gonna be tmmr 
If it's not ,then wait
Keep waiting coz one day u will find your person 
U wish ,u dream ,u hope and right now u r listening to this poetry so that u might not feel alone anymore ... 
Remember don't be depressed about past and focus on your present 
Just just do your good deeds without thinking about the result

,We the nation that survived 
discrimination building a 
civilization brand new evolution 
94 new birth welcome to earth    
You fought for our freedom 27 
years in prison coz u had a 
vision of a united nation 
without the separation or 
discrimination  of race now we 
able to embrace with ur grace 
and u deserve to be praised 
wasn't easy for u for the 
things u went threw I can't 
rem the time or what u do but 
I rem u say that its all for u 
,the pillar of the country 
strength of the nation 
accusation that they convicted 
u were innocent in a situation 
a united nation what u fought 
for peace to the core is what u 
are u blead for the dead even 
thou ur bed was a concrete 
slab  they made u sleep on 
the floor till u cudnt take no 
more watching as the waves 
clashed the shore in robbin 
island u never hated or 
retaliated u took it in smile 
always kept ur head up and 
moved forward till 1994 u rose 
up from floor opened a new 
door to the fellow sA brand 
new leader 1st black president 
who was her to represent the 
entire human race with a 
smile and embrace the 
greatest leader ever lived I 
wonder if u ever had doubt if 
u thought u ever be the 
greatest profecy and a ever 
lasting legacy I can't imagine

they didn't have a clue what u 
were trying to do and u saved 
our life from sacrafice 94 
years olD and u still going 
strong I wana be like u but I

a hero like u and u nelson 
mandela we praise u we follow 
u we love you for what u went 
threw what u did do and u 
knew we would be free some 
day and we pay that u stay in 
our hearts forever and wen

weather we realise to the 
point of suprize its a picture 
perfect moment at this very 
moment this song is to remind 
the fellow sa that u made it 
possible a strong man with a 
plan who took a stan and I'm

Confusion Muddled With Hate

Devils N My Head..

Every Time Im Alone
All I Wanna Do Is Cry..
I Hate My Life So Much,
Nd I Know Im Not The Only
One Who Gots It Bad, Nd
I Know Other People Have It
Worse.. But Really Wtf Did I
Do To Deserve Any Of It?.
I'm Not Trying To Pity Myself
Really Im Not, Im Just Trynna
Understand. I Just Wanna Know
WHY ME!? Didn't I Deserve A 
Normal Loving Family? Am I Not
Worthy Of Love. Haven't I Proved
Enough? I Really Am Trying My
Hardest, Or Am I? Okay Maybe All
I'm Really Doing Is Draggin My Feet
As I Walk. Can You Blame Me? 
Is It Without Cause Or Reason?
I Have NOTHING. Nothing To Claim,
Since The Lord Of All Mighty Didnt
Find Me Worthy Or Adequate To Raise
My Babies, Whats Wrong With Me?
I Got No Family, At Least Not Really,
A Dad Who Says He Loves Me But
Truly Does Not Know I Exists Or Knows
One Damn Thing Abt Me.. A Mother,
Who Let Her Child Be Tooken Away For 
Her Own Selfish Reasons. Aghhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm 
Trying My Hardest To Be Happy But
These Thoughtz Get The Bettr Half Of Me
Nd God Im Beggin U , Dont Take Ramo Away
From Me.. If You Have A Heart Please Dont
Really Cuz Thats It Im Done No More Of 
Things I Love Getting Torn Away From
Me.. I'll Die 1st.. By Your Hand Or Mine..

Is Trust An Emotion

Is trust an emotion?
I pause jus for a moment hopin to
ponder
abt how ths elephant got to sitin 
on ma
shoulder
im supposed to b a soldier bt ths 
comotion in ma mind seems to
threaten my exposure
wonder how it became a secret, 
that i
was jus flesh and bone
just a man
cast some darknes on ma paper so i 
cn c ths world is bizzare the light is 
blinding
me
the ones i claim my own cannot 
bare the
site of me
and ths is all because of me, but 
who is
me? Faults and mistakes 
superimposd often
look the same
but mistakes only become wat they 
r
once atempted
nuthing ventured nuthng gained
nuthin ventured nuthng lost so y 
shld i apologize?
When attempts u expect of me give 
birth
to my mistakes
i have failed, i have been victorious
what then defines the man i am?
The moments i overcame? Or the 
mistakes that came and stayed to
remind me
to b wiser o die
bt death aint alway when u stop 
breathn.
Sumitmes its just wen ur life loses
meanin wen u lose what at the 
time seemd to b
ur reason 4 breathn..
In dat very moment, even 4 an 
instance,
u r dead...
bt i go bek to the question
is trust an emotion.? Trust is takin 
a leap, a giant 1, neva
pausin to blink.
Even wen u knw that the fal is wot
envitably cums next,.
trust is holdin ur breath til ur lungs
burn... Hopin.... N hop is all dat 
saves us
we fal in slow motion creatin da 
illusion
dat mayb....
n jus mayb we cn fly,.
Bt ofcourse we cnt,
cyclic story always ends wit a bg 
thud, as da knight trades hs shining 
armor for a
stockin mask he becums the thug...
And da princess takes a bow, her 
interest
was al a pretence..
So no, trust is nt an emotion its a 
choice...
Its a risk, calculated o nt dat we 
willingly take..
We cnt live behind a glas window 
lest da
world myt hurt us....
Coz pain is always beta than the
emptines of nuthn...
Ths our love myt hurt sum day.. Bt 
its beautiful today
nw knwin al this.. A simple 
question i
must enquire..
Do u trust me?

Methaphysical Rape

I do not write anymore, I do not write anymore
These words defile my being and treat my mind like a mare solitude where they hide and conspire.
They conspire against my actions as they objectify my thoughts. I cannot ponder abt ideas without feeling methaphors caressing me gently. Nor can I dream without these syllables ironically trying to drain me of my will to fight back. Wherever I go I can feel the paradox of simile's lustful eye staring deep into my conscience. They make it so hard to wonder as for my imagination, well how could I when everytime I try these couplets pin me down and joyfully watch as nouns, and all their adjetives and relative pronouns have their way with me. The virginity of my soul is all but a distant memory and my inner joy is but a silent whispers compared to this raging anger I have on piercing screams of help while every organ became a witness and bystander to my mental assault. So how can I write anymore? How can I write anymore when each time I think these ideas seem to defile what once was a beautiful mind.

Cigarette

I smoked a cigarrette today!

 I sat all by myself nd thot abt hw we cud ever be..
 You see- 
 I was intoxicated by the words u fed me- 
 U got me high on life-- lies
 I took the time to look in the mirror of my life nd reflect on the bad decisions I ever made..
 My life I started to hate!
 I cud not face up to the broken glasses that lay before me
 Have I always been that ugly? 
 I cud not see the beauty u spoke of.. 

 I started to carve out my poetry lines with a broken mirror ..
 Dug deep nd watched as the words gushed out .. 

 I smoked a cigarrette today!
 Felt my lungs tighten as I held the toxic smoke inside..
 I held that ***** in- 
 Till my head hurt a little..
 I guess that's wat ppl do
 When they play second fiddle ..
 To everything nd evry1..
 Oh hw I wished I had gun..
 It'd be easier to end it all..
 ..The physical imprisonment ie..
 My emotional shackles grip me tighter everyday as I try to understand the motives behind ur actions..

 I smoked a cigarrette today!
 I cudnt breathe for hours
 Jus hopin my petty life it wud devour.. 
 Wat used to be a flower-
 Now a bulb that dies by the hour!

 I got so ****ed up today..
 Trying not feel so many things.,
 Trying not to know wat I know..
 Trying to ignore the facts..
 I tried so hard to be-- numb..

 But then.. I smoked a cigarrette today... 
 The cigarrette u left behind when u walked away that day! —

Own Definition of Life

really wish I could define ma life,
All things have bin doing in life, has bin based on "writes"
I questioned ma self, abt it, if it is "RIGHT "
"Am I Mr write ???" 
Many writeups have written without a repeated rhymes. 
I actually, thought that could define ma life

Hmmmmm!!!!
I actually thought ma life was based on that.
I draw so much, I can paint u with ur "hat"
Have draw a lot of celebrities and stars.
I wish this is the real definition to ma life, so has to know where to START.

This life!!!
Have danced in the past,
Have bin awarded a merit in it at last.
I coordinate, 
I imitate, 
I learn, 
easy for me to do, has at then.
Will this be the new definition of me, I guess if am "RIGHT"

I wish am writing for the "whites"
Americans love this, especially with ma love quotes, and the short stories that rhymes. 

The complexity of ma life, is not find in dictionary. 
A good definition of this, is well labelled in ma own dairy. 
                           
                                       Own definition of life

I Love Him

I love him
I love him
I love him
My heart's screaming at me
my body's silently nodding
The man of my heart
The man I long to dream about
He makes me so happy
He's my divine connection
Ask me about him
And you'd fall in love yourself
Sometimes, it's d way I cud go on and on abt him
Sometimes, it's d way I cud find nothing to say
What exactly do u do?
Cos I don't know why it's always you
Or is it cause I always want it to be you?
Am here on my silly bed
Wishing you'd hold me close
Kiss my forehead like I have no worries
And hug me tight like you don't know what to say
Being with you brings me so much bliss
And sometimes, it's hard to live without you
I know I have a habit of letting you go
And sometimes am not sure wat I want
Andsome other times, I'm just scared you won't be true
And some other other times, I 'm scared you won't be enough
Bt I'm never scared that you won't be there
Cause you always have and always will
If you are truly God's plan for me
...
You are the best thing that ever happened to me
That's something  I have never been able to say to another
I could have said they meant the world, or I deeply loved them than any other
Bt it's only been one best thing for me
YOU
Why do you always say all the right things?
Or are they simply the things I should hear?
Or are they the way things really are?
I am so selfish
Sometimes, am like this's not who I want
It's true
I don't want you
I think the truth's
I do need you
You are my calm in the storm
My passage in a tunnel
Silver lining in a dark cloud
Rainbow in d gloomy sky
And guidance when am lost
Maybe I may never accept you like you deserve
But know that whatever it's 
This time you are not fighting alone
I'm gonna be there every inch of the way
Dat's if u decide am good enough for you.
If this's a passing moment, Lord let it last forever please.
If you don't, I'd still be grateful you let me have something as passionate as this.
It's definitely my next to none

Memories

Wish you could allow me express how much i hav missed you in a thousand way
But... If i have to seal my lips for you to be satisfied
Then u may have to shut my eyes and freeze my thoughts
In dat case, u ll succeed in making a nite passby without me thinking abt u

The Mystery of His Wealth

The mystery of his WEALTH.

Their a lot of mysteries in his wealth,
There are many more mysteries in his health,
Many people wondered and talk abt him, and he talk abt him self. 
The mystery of his wealth, are the daily activities that they rejected in life,
He never sleeps at night.
Woke up, as early.
He workhard, in stress.
He pray hard, every time at work, no rest, even on bed.
He's closer to God, he's close to man, he never give Satan the chance, 
cos he's filled with the "HOLY SPIRIT right from start.
He's gifted and determined among the rest.
Humble and loyal, among the best. 
Respected and of good heart, shares is feelings out in a simple heart,
He doesn't envy is mates.
He never talk down of his friends.
He lives a lovely life, with truth, simple and free.
He give out things for free, without expecting something back from u.
Hmmmmm! 
The mysteries of his wealth, is never a magic on the surface of earth.
In the stories of his life, lies the mysteries of his wealth, 

In the mysteries of his WEALTH, in it is a clue of something YOU Can EARN. 

Phemmy Oluwafemi.

'Please never let me go'
She felt the burning need to 
grab him by the hand nd hold 
on tight
She dd it anyway..
Not caring anymore about her 
sudden vulnerability ..
Ignoring the opening of her 
wounds ..
"Please hold me" she said
Her voice birthing heavy sobs 
as she tried to plead with him 
His arm already drenched in 
tears he jus looked at her..
Finali seeing her fears .. 
"Please never let me go"
Like a fetus abt to be aborted
She held on to dear life
A million thots rasing thru her 
mind
A shadow of doubt wrapping 
itself around her delicate 
frame 
Like a cold blanket
It made her shiver ..
Shiver hysterically as she 
begged him 

"Please never let me"
She whimpered like a 
motherless child in the arms of 
a stranger
Yearning for a saving grace .. 
A litte miracle .. Something to 
eat away the pain 

"Please never let me go" 
Her grip loosened as she 
spoke..
Her brown eyes now turning 
grey..
" Never" 
Was all he could say ...

Like full force cancer her body 
finally gave in ...
Who would have thot - 
''Thoughts'' could consume a 
person like that ..

"Please don't leave me"
HE said sobbing ..
As he held her limp body in his 
hands.. 
Its a sad story.. 
All every1 cud do was say 
"sorry"
