Ballad

I once loved, But now I hate,
I can't take anymore pain,
The people I trust always turn,
The people I love always leave,
I want him back, I really do,
I want him to be mine forever,
Come back my loves, my true,
Because all I will do is plead.

Everywhere I looked for you
places where I travelled,
For I couldn’t comprehend at all
stories that unravelled.
Swear they lied that you had died
the things that people say,
Why keep me sad to feel bad
when ones on holiday?
Though people grieve from your leave
with sorrow and great pain,
I know I've only missed you
to see you once again.

Before you came
My world is pitch black
The light are not allowed to enter
I ignore and shun the people
Cursing the the world with anger
Yet nobody seems to hear
After you came
My world seems to change
Becomes full of colour and life
I know what is life
I know how change my colourless world
It is because of you my one and only
I love you
Thank you

ROYALTY: VELENTINO PHIRI our Grandfather
From a place of refuge he trekked
to the peripheral of the throne
rightfully his
"Moses on the verge of Canaan..."
Endowed with a rare talent
potent of perfecting the art
that built pyramids in days ancient
A mighty man...
Though not enthroned
A KING he was...ruler of our people...
True as it was
He still is....ROYALTY!

People laugh at me,
\Do you know why?
\People stare at me,
\Do you know why?
\People are mean to me,
\Do you know why?
\People look dead to me,
\I know why.
\These voice's in my head tell me to kill from time to time,
\I know why.
\The maddness doesn't stop,
\I know why.
\Do you know why?
\Don't worry about it,
\Cause I always gets mine.

All the shimmering lights in the galaxy will lead you home,
It will happen,
When you heart will leave the darkness of this imaginary world,
Where people will rise in love instead of falling,
Where people will know the meaning of forever,
Then we can this world a world of light,
Where you will belong to me and I will belong to you.....

Lost in Love
I see two people kissing.
I can’t see their faces.
I see the face of the woman.
She has long reddish brown hair and hazel eyes.
She’s thin.
I can’t see the face of the man.
He’s built but he is very muscular.
I see the man’s eyes, no it can’t be!
It is George and I don’t believe it.
He has got a lot of nerve.
He will never get away with this.
That’s a promise.

In case I forget
today to say
I love you!
D
In every way
every single day
I love the sweet things you say
no code plays
I admire your strength to believe
to be a man who goes after his needs
in all of the people I have known
you are truly one I will NEVER let go
You lift me up higher than yesterday
something in all my life I wanted to say
I wanted to know I wanted to believe
now my sweet baby you made love my reality

Once upon a time
I met a stranger
Out of boredom
I just kissed her.
I thought she dislikes
But she kissed me too
I enjoyed the moment
Though skies were still blue
Many people saw
The entire kiss
Others were laughing
Like they’re throwing me bricks
So I didn’t mind
Still kissed the girl
Explored my hands
Just to touch hers.
So I got hard bumps
Aches on my head
Just to discover
I touch his bird.

They call me yours.
Referring to me by your name
Apostrophe ‘s’
Like I belong to you.
An item you’ve forgotten
Or have to pick up.
The issue is
That’s not true.
I’m not.
I’m not yours
And you’re not mine.
You of all people
Have made that clear.
But explaining it to them
Is annoyingly futile.
They’ll continue their teasing,
But only with me.
They call me yours
But I know they never call you mine.

A light from the sky, no one knows the source.
Shines the invisible path of your life but can you stay the course?
There is bad and there is good but that choice is yours.
A clean life costs so much in a world of broken laws.
History tells of the lives of people who’s dreams were broken and taken by force.
History tells of the lives of these people who found ways to open all those bolted, locked and closed doors.

He wakes very morning
to trudge through his day
a labor of love
or just bills to pay?
it seems that forever
he's been burdened with debt
and retirement a time to reflect
or regret?
She awakes every morning
to labor all day
kids are in day care
there's really no choice
no other way
the bank accounts empty
and pay day seems so far away
I think that this government
has lost the plot
think of the people
who ain't got a lot.

Waking up and shaking up
Running up for the daily dose
Drying up is every rose
Dying up is every rose
Drugs and thugs ruining lives
Selling smiles and all knives
It's not to give you joy
It's mere a deathful toy
Waiting out with their ploy
Getting in trap every girl and boy
People selling drugs in convoy
Police Sirens all over the town
The thugs free with no mask or gown
Killing humans without a frown
Police Sirens all over the town

I buried you with love in the coffin of my heart,
When I realised that it was just a graveyard
Where people were born to take a short ride
And then decided to switch to a new life.
They leave the roads of my heart beyond repair
And now only meant to be an abode of farewell.
So, I hope you face a lot of love as I watch you embark,
And live an immortal in someone else's heart.
For love is not a luxury I can receive,
Because I was never a perfect fit.

when people asked if I still loved you
after what you've done,
my mind said no, but my heart and eyes gave me away!
They were dying to say that they wanted you....they wanted you!
I loved you beyond words and thoughts...every single time
I thought of you, my heart tore from inside and craved for your presence.
why would you do that to a person who loved you?....to a person whom
you told you loved!!!?Was it all a lie???
We named all this love and I fell deep in it!

I love you more than chocolate
Your actions are so sweet
I think you are a super guy and one I’d love to meet
Tall or short, dark or fair it matters not to me
I think you are amazing and other people here agree
I’ve told my hubby all about you
He thinks your poems are really cool
My hubby he’s a diamond - a very precious jewel
So when you’re on your world tour just take a little time
To meet up for a cup of tea – I think we’d get on fine

It Was Just An Another Summer Day For You And I,
But For Them It Was A Day They'll Never Forget.
It Was Just A Party For Her Friends,
But For Her It Was Night What Dreams Are Made Of.
It Was Just Another Boring School Day For His Classmates,
But For Him He Nearly Lost The One He Loved.
It Was Just Typical Work Day For People In The City,
But For Him It Was Just Another Day Watching Her Lifeless Body.
It Was Just An Another Wet November Day,
But For Both Them They Got Their Lives Back.

I ask you to take a minute and look up into the evening sky.
I ask you to remember what a shining star meant to your young mind.
Dreams and desires of a life for you.
Innocence was so important back then.
Innocence was there in you.
Some people never escape that child like innocence of mind.
But it’s not for us to judge people for what we want them to be or what we find.
It’s for us to see people for who they are.
Remember that light always stayed the same, the light of that fading star.

Allow me the pleasure
Of being the one
Who still gets to you
Even under the pressure.
Allow me to be
One of the people
In your life
Whose words you may cite a friendly gesture.
Allow me the liberty
To be young and free, with you
Walking graced in our leisure
We’d hold hands; winds scatter and breeze through.
Allow me to write
A poem about you
Just you!
I'll versify you in my mind’s eye and pen you out
With the most beautiful words so that in spoken word I can finally recite:
I love you.

Telling people we were never friends.
That our whole friendship was a lie.
No need to lie anymore cause this is where it ends.
I don't need someone who starts rumors about me.
And I'm done with all your crap.
You didn't know how I felt.
But I guess now you do so open your eyes and tell me what you see.
Stop telling people it's my fault you got caught.
Cause it's not right making assumptions about things or people.
Maybe if you think about it this is just a lesson that God thinks you need
to be taught.

Over the sea to the north of me, up the river where the crocodiles roam in the village of my lovers home. Painting his face with black, ochre and white, looking just right with the cutest dimples shaping from his magnetic smile. Dedication to his people and culture brings an obscure haze between us where vision blurs hence spirit lifts to fly home, leaving the eagles circling the sky without...me. Wonder if he will follow though how would he with clipped wings and chains of commitment weighing mercilessly his ankles and heart?

Shall I run or hide and die inside?
Shall I be fond of the joy
I feel every time you show
You could walk away with a smile on your face
And you could walk away as if you were in a race
One day you were inspiring
That every word you say was overwhelming
The other days you were so transparent
That everything you were yesterday became complicated
I'm captivated with the joy you can bring
As I'm gripped with the blues even I am spring.
Some people are worth it to feel pain.
And the pain with you is pleasurable and I am chained.

People desperately trying to find love,
It's okay person,
You'll find it one day,
Stop chasing it now my dear,
It will come one day,
Just like why the sun sets in the West
It's surely gonna happen one day to all of us,
We either let go of said opportunity or don't,
It's still all up to us.
I have done both,
And I regret both decisions,
But I know one day she will come to me,
One day I'll give her the warmest of embraces,
One day she'll smile at me and see the world's happiness,
One day I'll see her smile and see my whole world.

over time you became my desire we burned like fire, as i look back now we’ve become so damaged , words began to cut like barbed wire, paralyzed by pain, scientifically taken a toll, reminiscing about the past, trapped inside my own damn soul now i never go outside these thoughts of appreciation that you kept me alive but at the same time i was nothing but a lie see thats what givin me chills cause i lost alot of people when they said i was being fooled but i never saw what they preached cause to me i never would of thought id be in love with my worst enemy.

You were stalwart, my Navy shipmate,
you didn't hesitate,
you knew as you earned the title Navy SEAL,
war would become much more real,
Those who criticize,
don't realize,
it's easy for them to misjudge from
their cozy armchairs,
they should thank God they weren't
sent over there,
as war causes so many of our
soldiers despair,
these haughty critics would of been
the first to call out for you,
if the merciless enemies walked down
the avenue,
You defended us, your people, and
you we deeply respect and appreciate,
rest In God, our gratitude, shipmate.
