Dusked Poems


Deserted

...You inserted the needle into my veins…
Now, I’m damaged goods that dry on
You sucked up my blood oh so insane
You deserted me by falling for hurtful lies…misunderstood like the dusked dawn
You me...

...What a World!


By Izunna Okafor

Tears roll down my cheeks
Beholding the palm tree I tapped 
From his knowledge of blue ink
With a bow, lofting off a huge gap

What a World !

...I still want you to cradle my clementine cries
I would like you to embrace my eloquent eyes

Vogelperspektive

...(Bird's-eye view)

My heart is about 
to leave, ready to ascend 
then hover away 

on the dusked wings of
her before my woe-hardened
rib cage could shatter

her. An exodus

The Truth Behind the Eyes

...The Truth Behind the Eyes

The rivers of rapid radiance slide down your face
I try to embrace the words you write with so much grace
Fine flavors of flamboyant fires thrill my tongue with dire de...

I'M Feeling It Chapter 1: Unneeded Greed

...I feel numb beneath this skin…
This skin from deep within…
I’m thin and then…
I’m fat with loath again…
Greed I feed on
Envy and so on…

Soft-Spoken Sanity

...I'm a very picky guy, getting involved 
With my quality quantity 
Oh oh look at how I have evolved

Oh My Numb Cranium

...Why did He let me break?
Was it for a future's sake?
How did you all get here?
Are we all lost in epic fear?

From Letters To Words

...As the day dusked yesterday,
The deflowered sun shone down 
with those eyes of a goldfish

'KATH’, got a light; 'EER’ lit a room;
And ‘AH’ illumined the night

No sound of a thing in your pres...

Blamed

...This love, love is so indifferent...
When I used to be the spoiled playboy,
My heart scorned me yet I endured the dallies.
Few shed tears and few took casually,

Upon the Dusk Violin

Being moved on its strings like a harmony, 
“As Pain is a beauty”
Aloft and stroking into your ears with precision.
“Just as love is a tragedy”
