Best Downing Poems

Every night I close my eyes, 
loneliness suffocates my soul. 
I rapidly escape through a portal of dreams,
where we once met with a passionate embrace. 

In your arms I felt alive, 
but dreams fade away like stars afraid of dawn.
Loneliness returns with its gloomy silence,
yet again, I am...

Standing in the heart of this city
in awe of spectacular lights illuminating tall buildings.
Millions of strangers rush to and fro.
Who would've thought I would be here of all places.

But here I am feeling misplaced
in a place where no one knows your name. 

I fasten the...

10 DOWNING STREET

Six years ago on 10 Downing Street,
Tourists by the score we did meet,
Fascinated by the pomp and splendor
England’s Political leader, in his famous home,
Safe from the crowds, having tea
A discreet meeting at
This Historical house,
Trumpets, guards, I didn’t care
About a sign that said “Beware,
Horses...

Akkina Rosario Downing Quotes 

What great comments she had made;
To rest them that she said has laid;
Opinions are our own
Even if bare to the bone;
Wrote more poems sitting in shade.

Laugh a lot and in mouth don't
let my foot get caught to avoid
the rest of the...

When my fingers hurt 
the pain binds and forms 
at the base of my greatest fear

I never knew fear
Until it knocked on my door
So fierce that 
What words were on the tip of my tongue 
Are drying up into dust in my mouth 

The taste...

It's nearly time for PMQs
Said Boris, and I've blocked the bog
With one of my enormous poos
It's nearly time for PMQ's
It's hard to verbally abuse
The opposition when your log
Is staring at you. PMQs
Said Boris, and I've blocked the bog

He gaze at the sky, asking for answers for all his why's
Where have been the stars, only moon beckons afar? 
His face is hopeful but sad
His heart full of love but empty
And only his heart knows
The bleed of longing, his aura shows.

He draw deep breath,...

Clowning With Downing

Again around all us poets were clowning;
What a wonderful poet is Akkina Downing;
Poems are all viable,
And highly reliable;
Were left laughing and not found frowning.

you can always down my happiness, 
break me down  to cry a river,
but you'll never break my spirit...

I write to endure the waiting,
My song is in my pen,
When will this loneliness start abating?
Will I ever play music again?

It sounds so sad, and sad it is.
This drowning in despair,
Knowing my life could be more fruitful,
Not in here, but out there....

In my dreams
like many have dreams,
I went to number 10 Drowning Street.
in this pandemic, isolation to cheat,
there is no other better place 
to meet, greet, drink and eat!
In the back garden, I sat with Boris,
chatting and laughing a guff!
Donald sat drinking a can of beer,
American,...
