No one in these days truly knows just what real love is,
Because they were once barely loved by unloving people.
Instead of trusting new people, they wrongly deem love as evil.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I carefully molded the clay
Created from the depths of my soul
A structure that would allow me to shield
From the fear of unloving gazes.
Oh, what a vast structure I constructed
It would let me safely unravel
Avoid risks and fears
Beyond the perils of emotion
and fervent tears.
I felt chilly and lonesome in my cocoon
It was awaiting structure annihilation
Remove all barriers and discard them
I realized there had been a few
I was previously unaware of it.
I explicitly acknowledged it later
I ventured where I previously wouldn't
I'm immensely overjoyed
Since I gained a friend
We discussed every nuance
Except for the building's layout.

I died when my mom died, too young to know,
my dear nanny's sweet love sustained me then
For three short years, she was my dearest friend
She was an angel, helping me to grow
One day, she left and then I died again.
I was just five wondering what I'd done
I gained, unloving stepmom with a son
and I felt all life could do was just rain!
I did life over, but this time I sailed
I saw an opening and took a chance
Today, I die bits at each friend's demise
moments time stole, become faded and paled
I know I'll see friends, if only a glance.
I'll join their dance among clouds in the skies.

There used to be that “I can’t breathe without you kind of love”.
Where I’m your everything happiness
And you’re my absolute of everything in life.
But it has gone.
Gone
Gone
Gone
Now it’s just -
Because it needs to be…
What happened to us?
What went wrong to our deep true love?
It feels like it faded into a portal.
And land far far away.
Out.
Of.
Reach.
So we’re just here stuck.
In flesh, untouched.
Because that’s us now.
But you don’t know how my heart cries-
I want so much to love you, like the first time I ever felt my heart was so full of only you.
I want so much that your heart is incapable of unloving me.
I want so much to rewind back time to our firsts of happily moments and pause it there until it stretches it to our forever future.
I want so much for you to say,
I love you it hurts to live without you!
And I say
I
love
you
for
life!
Then you smile
I smile
We live happily ever after.
The
end.

the wall separates
the inside
from the outside...
on one side
is wrong,
on the other side
it's crooked...
Who the wall builds,
imagine how well it does...
imagine sharing
bliss from evil, imagine, but
who is able...
There is a wall to separate
love things...
wall that separates
mind thing...
separates lives
out of fear,
separate people
for unloving...
the wall divides
life in two
sides:
the side of hiding
and the danger side...
the refuge side
and the side of the street...
one side of the wall
it seems right,
the other side
also...
no side
knows what's wealth...
if one is sure,
the other doubt
has not...
The truth is
all we have
walls... wall
built inside
of us...
we need to unbuild
this wall so that
let's not live
so alone...!

The moon, the ever-unloving moon
has nothing to say, and yet
we write sonnets and odes to it
and hardly one poem to the noble toad.
Gentle endearing creatures they are
and they sing freely and for free
to that uncaring moon.
Would it be too much to ask
for an occasional
midnight mass or requiem
for a deceased old horny toad
that had devoted every nocturnal hour
to sing so lustily to its Luna lit lover?
Would we appreciate the Mona Lisa
if her face resembled a moonscape,
would her beauty go uncaught
or if she had had the odd crater or wart?

I am strong today
I can look Life in the face
when she asks
What do you want of me?
and say
I don't exactly know;
I am searching, strong, and free!
Life leans back, she laughs;
Her green eyes glow
and she says to me
The search is long
the strong grow weak;
The unloved and unloving are the free!
And the mother in my head says told you so!

I regret having been born
to forlorn in this noxious, wicked world.
I distaste that I was born
in a biased, impovershirished, corrupt society.
I was born to careless; unloving parents.
I am living but unknown,
popular but uncounted.
No birth certificate to certify I am a living human being.
I am invisible to my State,
I am not included when they plan for others.
I regret having been born
in an abusive, malfunctional, disjointed society,
like that in which my mother slept unlettered.
A society where one aims to unnerves one for personal praise.
I curse the day that brought me to this world.
A world where life dictates my lifestyle,
A world where I am a victim of circumstances,
and my wits are buried in oblivion.
Africa is the cradle of mankind
yet her sons and daughters developed foreign lands first,
her children are haunted by these vicious cycles of poverty.
And now leaving Africa has been the African dream!
I wish was not one of these children.
I regret having been born;
To…believe the sky is the limit
when Armstrong’s feet stepped on the moon.

The wall separates
the inside and
outside...
On one side
the wrong,
on the other side
the crooked...
Who the wall builds,
realizes it's right..
intends to separate
the good from the bad, imagine
who is able...?
There is a wall that separates
love thing...
wall that separates
thinking thing...
separates lives
out of fear,
separates people
for unloving...
the wall divides
life in sides:
the hiding side
and the danger side...
the side of the refuge
and the street side...
The truth is that
all we have
walls... wall
built inside
of us...
we need to take down
this wall ,so that
we will not stay
solitary anymore !

Who asked you to visit me?
Even though you are not the dearest!
Why did you appear in the moment,
when I waited to cherish.
Don't you have common sense or logic for your purpose.
How would I make you understand that you are not my Guest to host.
You bring despair in my world, however, I refill the hope.
An angel amidst to heaven and hell, blocking my senses
holding in darkness, hours together,
Arrayed the faith of buoyancy
Making a path to dream the prospect
And keeping the breath warm.
Hey unloving pain, relieve me from your arms of senseless -
Go rest in peace.

Prouder,
Louder,
Pushing & shoving,
Totally unloving,
Colder & farther,
Farther & farther
Away from you!
"Oh, God, is it true?
Is this really me?
Really, can it be,
My heart
Torn apart?
Heal me please!
Forgive me God, only Jesus frees!"

My heart is a machine
Cold and lifeless
You think it should love you
It doesn’t know how
Neither do I

Only life teaches
that living can be finer than dreaming...
But not always...
That hope cannot be lost,
that faith serves us to move...
It teaches that winning is preferable than losing,
but learning to lose helps us to win...
Learning is a mission to evolve and evolve
is to carry the mission...
The sea since love is a solution, and unloving
and die...
Everything life teaches, but many do not prefer to...
That's why they don't live either... they just hibernate... !

It is cheerless not to notice
anything from you ... O lost ship
between instincts and confines ...
It's dismal not to realize
to where you disappeared ...
O fallen leaf of the cold afternoon
in the biggest storm
of unloving ...
Doleful lose your presence...
... your countenance run away
in verbal actions, so thorough
of certainties ...
It is depressed not to visualize you,
nor find you on maps,
and have no prospects
to reach you ...
It is só sad to be aware of
this tremendous uncertainty ...!

~ Best Friend ~
Friend
Constant, true
Affectionate, warm, available
Makes the sun rise, brings peace to my soul
Always busy, never answers emails, cold
Arrogant, unloving
Enemy
