Long Empathise Poems

Success left my hand, 
Abandoned me and had thrown me out of my dreamland,

I crumbled down to the ground and wondered how would...

Her scars told a story of a time
When life tried to break her but failed 
And she was filled for a while
with tearful wails
Maybe she was disappointed for
She expected him to love the way she...

When you get knocked down
Don’t close your eyes and...

The regressive Supreme Court decision
hustled, proclaimed, and voiced
June 24th, 2022
immediately quashing pro choice option,
struck down constitutional right
(upheld for half a century -
formerly allowing, enabling and providing
the muliebrous population
access to secure and safe abortion)
and sent a...

I cannot impress upon insensitive humans, my God given inalienable right,
As a scrawny tottering helpless babe, I used to suckle milk from my...

You stank, and  poo was once revealed when pants were pulled in playing field. Hard round briquettes, quite dry, like dung with straw sun-hard and undigested. 

All kinds of unkind taunts and silly songs...

My young Daughter’s life is in such a mess.
Her aching heart, her soul, in pain, needs a rest.

We all do encounter belied expectations 
Feeling of deep hurt results from betrayal 
Our shrivelled heart writhing in contractions 

The hurt needs healing so we go to a...

Cripple

Nature made me incomplete
She failed to give me two good feet
The left one’s fine,
It’s well in line 
But the other is rather bittersweet

It twists around to a great degree
A much disgruntled employee
Of a brain as...

Through seventy years of change,
Orb and sceptre in your hands,
Serving your people, young and old,
You have reigned over these lands. 

To duty called when you were young,
You took the oath in Edwards chair. 
The crown...

By Humber in a drowsy afternoon,
When for my love long lost alone I pin’d,
My heart itself did sing a saddest tune
For woeful swain I was to be destin’d.
And I in pain then lov’d this timid...

Shower of autumn leaves and acorns,
And rustling sound as I stroll.
Those mesmerising bubbles all-round,
As I dive in the pool.
And also, when, looking into his eyes,
Silently, I can walk thousand miles.

Don't want to be a bother,
Don't want to come between
Don't want to cause distraction
Don't want to make a scene.

If i can't state it here
Where else do I...

Much to my consternation,
I see poems, lacking punctuation!
It would seem my poetic friend,
the latest and modern trend
is to write without indication,
of a poet’s true inclination.
Pray how, ask I, can we
understand what we see,
without capitals or...

Polithieves
On my behalf, a conclave of crows
Then, my Imminent appointment follows
Orchastrated triumph at the polls
Heralds me into Parliament of Owls
Perching in the FAAC Convocation
In control of State notes
I go swift lyk Abacha o.

As much as I like you, I must admit
If your mental stability’s a little of book
I’m not going to lie, I might have to steer clear.
I have reason to believe it’s an innate primordial fear.

I stay stationary, collapsed, in a room unlike mine
I stay bare, as I wait for my thoughts to align
the bloodied hand continues it's repetitive round
soon the dust in this chamber will have me drowned

My memories scatter, like dust of the air, 
which once were more numerous than fish in the sea. 
Now withered, they re-tell tales of lost youth. 

At times my memories congeel and fragment,

A piece of my soul

Who am I?
A Muse or a Poet?
A Lyre or a Melody?
Or just a plain girl?
What do I see
A dream or a vision?
Or a harsh reality?
Don't know, really.
But do I not possess...
