OThe sexual smile the birth and death of kings,
The Plathian axe, the tree, and how it ringd
The horse unsaddled throws its mistress off
The ending of a life, the voice that scoffs.
Even the ugliest man can tell good lies
How a woman’s beauty hurt men’s eyes.
The sexual smile the enemy,the child
The hint of promise paralysed his smile
Why so much damage
Why so much rage?
Why all the tears of pain
Why sunny days
Filled with straight hate.
the lonely nights
When we should be holding each other
Tight?
Why all this damage
Had the love come and gone
Had the time come.
What we once had
Had it died?
Has the happiness fade with time?
Is the damage to much to bare
Can are hearts beat
together once more,
Or are they hiding in fear
Beneath a mask that's worn?
Time will take it's toll.
As time will Settle the score.
when the heart cracks
the whole body trembles in disguise
When a heart breaks
only tears glue broken pieces
it is a spear pierced in the middle of a life
I now know the kicks of love
that has no defence
the tricks and pain of love
I now know the rain of love
I here wear this dehydrated face
sweat is simply a sign of separation
Love is a path heading to no directions
you know it was wrong and long when you kiss it's burning base
when you realise you are dead but living
And when a heart leaks
It is the entire human souls with sores
that scratches does deepen it
And when a man cry
It is more than a funeral in hell
His heart becomes a cell
it becomes an ax, an exception to human affection
My heart is now a river I surf on
A lake I have drowned in
an ocean that washes my dirty self
A mirror that break my bones into dust
and no lust lasting in me anymore
Am I a prodigal son
The only masculine devil that feels the heat of the sun
that get carried by the warm wind blowing from the south
Am I a chameleon
whose journey to happiness costs a million sad steps ?
By John Kazadi
Bestowed upon me is the crown of heartache,
That left scars deep down my soul.
Bestowed upon me is the failure of a myth called us,
That constantly scorches the walls of my conscience.
I love you..
Or rather I should say,
I loved the thought of being in love with you.
Now I'm just an unattended dream,
That flows through my veins.
When love went away...many many long years ago
A life of roller coasters
Ocean waves ---storm inside the brain---Titanic Blues --
A Dissipated Dream
A long nightmare ---Sleepless lullaby
Black and White rainbow ---
Kaleidoscope Heart ---Souvenir
Life spent all alone---
Colorblind Dreamscape
Wait for return,.. I miss you
Whispering trees---All remind me of you
Beyond the light--- My eternal grief
Canopy of Pain ---Graveyard of dreams
Echo came back---You Complete me..
Undeciphered.. The Horizon of Eternity
The Unknown---Unfinished poem
Deja vu---One sided Love...Silent Love...
Obsession ---Paradise
Love you Forever.

Happens to me painful,
when love happened in cheating.
The heart is being broken,
the one who taunts me,
Go,you may still be good.
It's raining again today
How many days does this make
Praying for heaven sake
For this pain to go away
But of course it never does
It keeps digging itself up
All of this just because
Pain is all a part of love
Always coming back for more
Trying to even up the score
The battle between the head and heart
Where pain and love get their start
it feels good
its under stood
thing go wrong
hard to carry on
yes it hurts sometime
go out your mind
tho its come froms from above

THE PAIN OF LOVE
When I was young,
love was breath
and heartbeat--
and fear of Mama,
offset by the comfort
of my lovely Nana.
And my father--
where was he?
Then I entered manhood-
fierce and stark, knowing
women before I knew them.
My lust for their bodies
kept my love at bay--
like a cowed dog it
whimpered, only
longing to be petted.
I was not kind but not
cruel, eagerly entering
their bodies while ignoring,
nay, fearing their
loving souls.
Then one spring day
the hollow man I had
become cracked open,
and my unknown,
unseen soul spilled
out into that river:
its dark fierce waters
of despair driving it
towards that ocean
of utter blackness.
Something saved me,
returned first my body,
then my mind to the
world, to this world.
The One I had forgotten,
ignored, showed mercy,
showed me my real being,
a soul without beginning,
without ending--truly
made in His image.
I've known the pain
I've felt the pain
I knew it's intimacies
I've stood right next to it
I knew the years, I've felt the tears
that I thought would ruin it
that led my trail to it
I've known the days
I've felt the ways
it creeps, it began to walk with me
it walks along right behind me
I've known it's there
I've felt it right there
just trailing in my shadow
it's tried to trap me
all my life
from the loss of my dad
from the loss of my granddad
and so many others
I never got to do
what my heart took for granted
Damn it, always trying to find myself
in another's heart
trying to find love, true love
but I got weighed down with
love that was never returned
none of them loved me
but I loved them
each and every one
snatched, grabbed and took off
with another piece of me
those that lied
those that cried
those that ran
there wasn't a real man
with a real heart
in the whole bunch
I'm done with that stupid punch
that makes you think your in love
I'm done with all of it and then some
now it's only a FWB
and that's what love has done to me
This feeling deep inside me
Screams in pain
Sometimes I wonder
"Am I going insane?"
My heart weeps
My eyes swell
I am a lost bird
With no place to dwell
I love someone
Too much I fear
For my pain goes on
I'm an endless tear
Why must love be
So bittersweet?
Love should be comforting
Not full of defeat
This dull aching feeling
has lingered on too long
How I wish I knew
Where I belong
The pain of love is when you're far away
The pain of love is when you don't care
The pain of love comes around when I know that you don't even know my name
It comes to me when I see you with her
It looks for me when I hear you saying I'm feeling something FOR HER
When I see myself falling apart
While you're having so much fun
The pain of love is when my heart's keeping all you will NEVER know!
All that's killing me inside
Why can't I be where you are?!
This question is THE PAIN OF LOVE ...
My love is gone, she left me all alone. Why should I care about this mental affliction, of deep
affection that has left me blinded and wounded! Although my heart is being tortured with
torment, how can I escape from this physical state! The desire of being passionate to show
my devoted romance has been torn to shreds because of this lonely misery that I share with
myself. Even the though my love was precious and dear to my heart, the fancy of being
intimate with my darling, has come to a sudden holt. Being without my love has caused me
more discomfort and suffering than a thousand’s suns pressed against my skin! But I guess
the old saying must be true, in order to love someone else I must first have that same love
within! I have been tricked and fooled by my enemy again, to think this pain of love was my
best friend! Because my own love will never leave me, but will always be there to the very
end…
You gifted me a bouquet of flowers,
but felt like God has sent down beautiful showers
It took a long time for me to realize,
that its the time to open my eyes...
There was always an inner pride,
when you were sitting by my side
Now my little heart has a doubt,
can it stay away from you without?
With a hope,I expected your wishes.
later realized that I missed all your kisses
But now starring at the sky
and questioning myself ,why?
Unlike others,Day by day,my love grows,
God and me are the two persons who knows.
You still can spread smiles,
though you are away from me in miles
The feelings in my heart are so real,
and I beg your heart not to seal
You will never fully understand,
that without you my life cant withstand
It is 'you' whom now I rely upon,
I can bet our lives will soon turn on
We both know the present and past,
if we are together, our future will everlast.
Walking through eternal flames
the bright heat of them seem to,
wash away all the blame
to see you hurt
to see you cry
makes my heart
crimple and die
oh how i'm sorry for the pain
that i caused you for so long
please say you'll forgive me
and i admit that i was wrong
just all i ask of you baby
don't leave me here with just a maybe
tell me you still love me
tell me you'll still be there
for i promise and swear
your heart again
i'll never tear
