MISSING HER LIKE BREATHShe's steadily
Keeping me busy
Even when I'm idle
She's always on my mind
Because I miss her like breath
She's an idol
She's always racing in my mind.
My mind is flooded
With thoughts of her
I think I'm addicted to her
A moment without her
It's the moment of hell
She's my heaven, the one I lean on.
I've been lost
In her way
Without...

1060 DaysYou'd tell me and I'd feel so good
Together we both understood
Our paths would meet perhaps one day
If-then, maybe, who could say?
Some bumps and dips along the trail
When quiet lips from you prevailed
Such times are when I'd walk alone
Preferring that you set the tone
Yet undeterred I'd still write lines
My heart in words, remembering times
Through odes that...

A Whisper Survived"A Whisper Survived"
At 11 sharp, the room stood still,
A war of silence, iron will.
The wall ahead, with dreams pinned tight,
Held echoes from each sleepless night.
The quotes I hung like fading charms,
Now felt like ghosts with folded arms.
Each plan, a whisper from the past,
Of goals I thought would always last.
Above, the fan refused to spin,
Like all...

Love as a ChagallBy Michael Parker
…when art and love are of one stuff.
– “The Poem Unheard” by Amanda Hall
Love is like a Chagall—
the bride and groom floating
high above Paris
the blue of the sky holding them
aloft with unadulterated joy.
Men with faces of animals
play violins and flutes
and a vision of a young couple
a child standing upon the mother’s...

The Song I Will Not Pass Down
I dreamed a song —
hush tones and haunted chords.
A woman loved once,
and it grew into a tree.
She watered it with years,
fed it her voice,
slept beneath it,
called the silence love.
And in the final verse,
she hung herself in its...

Never Returned
I thought it was love, but I guess I was blind,
You just played pretend and toyed with my mind.
I gave you my heart, my soul, every year.
Returned was your silence, your distance, and your love never here.
I thought maybe one day you’d love me the same-how foolish to know
I was your puppet on a...

Much MoreHow did this moment come to be
When in my eyes you're all I see?
And everything I want to do?
Only us babe, me and you
I know that we would set great store
I'm realizing more and more
That I'm the hand and you're the glove
It's much more than just making love

honey, it is the atmospherestretching hands
pointing out
blaming skies
yearning for the sunlight
without any ability
to radiate with own might
when it's asked for the rain,
it shudders; for blue hue,
its yellow beams remain
unfathomable during typhoon
because here at the center of storm
there is no swarming heavy rain's tune
the piece of ice flake don't seem to fit
the moment it dropped on the puzzle
just give it...

To the White Rose of Germany , In memory of Sophie Scholl and the White Rose resistance group
In halls where silence cloaked the dread,
You raised a voice, though fear had spread.
With leaflets fluttering like doves in flight,
You lit a candle in the night.
Not with guns, nor iron might,
But truth and courage, fierce and bright.
A rose in winter, pure and still,
Defying hate with steadfast will.
Your words, like whispers through the air,
Asked hearts to...

Lay Down Your Soul On MeIt meets my eyes, a vacant stare.
In nakedness, it seems so bare.
What more of life is there to write?
Sunsets, dawn or the lovers' plight?
Plethora of words prance and tease,
seduce my heart, but give no ease,
instead run wild, like weeds untamed-
they have no form, no home or name.
Blank...

MEDIATIONA couple of days ago
I had an encounter
It was very educational
Many lives in illusion
They're very delusional
If you're not aware
You'll fall in their well
Then You start living in a warfare.
They believe in illusion
Which is void
Thinking it's reality
No wonder
Christ was crucified
The truth is really bitter
They all like sugar...

Once upon perdition :now a dedication:This POTD is dedicated to Di11y Da11y
who spoke the truth and paid the price!
to the unheard poet
you weren’t driven away
you moved beyond them

Once upon perdition
The apostate looked out his window,
and started to believe
As genuflecting pylons
sent ramifications through the trees
Chaos questioned reason,
hoping for a guilty plea
but the world was too...

Those we love
When singing praise to the Lord above,
that our feeling take flight like a white dove.
The joyful songs melts away all anger and fear.
That one can't help not to drop a tear.
Yet in the end the believers find comfort,where there's love.

WEIRD LADYShe's so wise and courageous
She's so contagious
She's not everyone's type
She's good and bad
Depends on how you ride
Stay on the tide
She takes no bribe, even if you're her tribe.
She's a God sent
With nice cents
Like she burns insects
She wears unisex
Never urge for sex
She's offset
Don't upset her.
She conscious
She never reap
Where she...

GHANAIAN GIRLI told her I'm a stranger
A souvenir
She thought I am from Ghana
Because I'm black like Ghanaians
She concurred
While listening to my accent
She confirmed I'm a Nigerian.
She said she can't
Wait to have me
Saying I'm one of a kind
I'm always on her mind
She called me the law of attraction
Because like a...
