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?

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

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

The Jade

It's like I'm jade in the mist of 
diamonds. Where's my hero 
who will discover me despite 
the temptation of those 
diamonds? I see someone. 
Wait...he's picked up a diamond 
and walked away. Will no one 
ever discover my worth? Look 
past my shining shades of 
green. Turn away from the 
glisten of those diamonds. I am 
the one in a million. And then I 
spot someone. Who is that? He 
looks confused, but he's 
walking torwards me. Is this 
really happening? He's passing 
all the diamonds! I see that he 
has spotted me. And then I'm 
afraid. He will pick me up and 
see that I'm different. He won't 
understand my beauty and 
what elements make up my 
existence. He will see that I'm 
as beautiful as those diamonds, 
but far too complicated to 
figure out. Will he see that my 
light can shine through to his 
soul? Will he see that I'm real? 
He has to see there is so much 
more to me than beauty. I'm so 
much deeper. Maybe that's why 
my jade is far too complicated 
to penetrate. He approaches 
and examines me. There is a 
look on his face as if something 
surprised him. He has realized 
something in me. He has 
learned all there is to know abt 
me and my jade is beautiful to 
him. He submerges into each 
layer and explores what is 
there. He accepts and loves the 
very raw me. Before I was 
dusted off and shined to a 
superficial brightness. My jade 
is different. It is beautiful and it 
is deep. not shallow and 
predictable like a diamond. You 
have to search far and wide to 
find my kind. And if you do 
come upon one of my kind, it 
was not a coincidence.

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! —

My boy

A bottle of wine,
A stranger’s smile,
A puff of smoke in the air,
The shiny white of a dandelion's hair.

Every ray of sun,
Every mess of fun,
Every breathless run,
Every pain and pleasure,
Moments of work and leisure.

Reminds me of u,
The way u speak,
Well, or u don't, cause u don't know what to say,
Still, somehow asking me to stay.

And I stay, not because of u,
Or ur beautiful eyes.
I stay cause I'll die
If we part... too apart.

And ur words leave my ears.
The day I forget ur laugh,
I'll forget my own,
And to u, my all is what I have shown.

But u shy away,
Like a plant in distress,
Like a prince swept in a castle of dread,
Like an escaping pirate, unable to say ahoy!
Still, u are my beautiful boy.

Tender, kind, caring,
Poets have wrote all abt.
But if Frost had ever laid eyes on you,
I'm sure his road would be pulled toward
The path u walk every day.

The trees ur eyes glaze upon
As u think ur,
And I'm sure,
Equally pretty thoughts.

Ur murky eyes, a clear window in ur heart,
Storm green with a cloud of brown,
Pulling me heart in a thunderstorm,
Yet lightly feeding me now.

I am not perfect, and u have seen me so.
But one thing ik,
And ik it for sure,
Someday I'll be in ur heart,
Purest of the pure.

'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"

The Cold of Fear

Cold is the tittering of befitted feet
Cold is the meagre meanders of falling fractals 
Cold is the twinge of bitter blues upon reeling retreats
Cold is the roiling retch of frostbitten flesh
Cold is the weary wench of an incomplete belch
Cold is the hoarded heath upon a ridiculed roof
Cold is the eerie ebb of a trepid twitch
Cold is the boyish bodice of meaningless man
Cold is the bane of bountiful bone held of chain to vein
Cold is the foiled figment of blustered breathes
Cold is the iridescent icicle of purified pain
Cold is the poignant punch of a sickened stench
Cold is the frivolous fawn of bludgeoned brain 
Cold is the enticing ice of roiling rest
Cold is the belted buoyancy of a famished feign
Cold is the writhing wail of fraught forgiveness 
Cold is the desolate depth of ailed eyes
Cold is the stringent stain of blotted blood
Cold is the rouged rememberance of pelting prise
Cold is the gaudy gulp of satin salvation
Cold is the harrowing hurry of soiling snow
Cold is the darkening winterous warmth of comforted coverage 
Cold is the heeled horn of the sinner's wretched woe
And wretched be the cold of mutilated body, strapped to snow, falling in tow.

And cold be the sorrows of selfish self.
