The poet sooths a troubled soul – their lyrics echo in the heart that yearns for soothing silence – a sombre melody that shadows part. Echoes drift where silence clings We mourn the scribes as truth has given way to ego, pride. The echo found in coded pyre alongside ashes piled in t’ stride. Echoes drift where silence clings Their tearstained pages worn folios, yet, still...

For once in my life, I want to be a poem, Written with many metaphors, By a poet with a heart that flows Flowers of romanticism like the rivers That roar with devotion deeper than the oceans. I may never last forever, Immortalise me in your poem, I want to smile forever, I have had oceans of tears Splashing my heart And tearing me...

Two opposites, unknown of their fate, Randomly surfed the wide internet before it was too late. From one end of the country to the other end. Scrolled and scrolled, like it was never going to end. Oh! It was just a click, that's how we met. From hesitant texts and calls, To glee when texts and calls are received And...

The children of Abraham are a force, sent by Gods word and walk with all of his force. Like a triangle, we do have points, sometimes we can hurt, and also cut into the earth. We are passionate about our God, and we bow down and pray for all of God’s blessing while on this...

We cling to what's fallen in the lay of layers. Leaves yield to the wind, drifting down when time's up. Pages of books flip over to pile up as what's been read. Days ripped from calendars records the passage of time spent. Musical notes strike the melodies for verses on the score. Words land on pages to craft our letters, works and poems. The lay of what...

It took many years for me to love me For rich or for poor the body keeps the score. Society is always on the go no time to be still, no time to chill, we are expected to go with the flow To be authentic, eccentric quirky, society resents this to be different in society’s eyes is...

He pays. He leaves. And she bleeds quietly. Some come for release, others for control. Some come to forget. Some to remember. Some to be punished. Some just come because it’s cheap. It's sin. It’s not sin. It’s survival. It’s escape. It’s addiction. It’s barter. It's bargain. It's need. It’s ritual. Here, bodies are commodities. Sold by the hour. Measured by the weight, age and colour of the skin, freshness of smile, limpness of resistance. It is commercialisation...
