Brian Lusimbo Poem
Hey secret admirer
You youare give me this flare
A thought of you creates this fire
Coming by you brings this desire
Like cancer within grows
Like tendrils it sprawls.
Funny I never tell you
'coz you are that kind
Who makes me believe
That love is blind
Since I think you don't see
Which to me is poison

Brian Lusimbo Poem
I loved you
You were such a beauty
I had no clue
This love was not for eternity
'coz I clung on you like glue
Thinking we had a bond
Soon you went for the next blonde
Your love to me was a blink
Just like the stars in the sky
I realized later
This was just teen love.

Brian Lusimbo Poem
You give me this prowess
That motivates me to win the race
To be the one you embrace
Your heart to forever caress.
I mirror your complexion
Which gives me the temptation
In form of a revelation
To start with you a relation.
But you hold me back
before I turn my back
You give me this knack
That I'm your luck.
Looking into your eyes
as they never tell any lies
Your charming chuckles
circles my heart with sparkles.
I crave for your presence
yet you give me this essence
That leaves me speechless
Wait, I'm breathless.

Brian Lusimbo Poem
I remember just like yesterday
I was famous
For my intelligence
I was genius
Bright
Had the brains
No doubt.
In my village
I would soon
Have a well-paying job
Be wealthy
Marry one of their beautiful daughters
Have a lovely family
Give back to the society
They had seen the light
My light.
Circumstances change
People change
I met 'friends'
Who wanted me to feel 'cool'
I started with a puff
They said, 'just a sniff'
It sounded strange
I wanted it badly
'coz I was thirsty
But it made me rusty.
I grew my desire
I went into liquor
It was satire
Thinking it would raise my vigour
I drowned
Below sea level I sank
I wasn't the same
Even the fame
Could now be the blame
An addict I became.
Long were the nights
I spent out without the lights
Ditches were my bed
Frogs were my friends
They sang me lullabies
And soothed me in my sleep.
My parents suffered
Wished I could change
They hoped
But all was strange
I wasn't coming back
Probably in a coffin
I became insane.
They had lost me.
Those who took me for their hero
Strange I borrowed them coins
Just for drugs
Deep in my insanity
I saw them struggling
To hold back tears of sorrow
They lost hope for my tomorrow.
I'm down to zero
Walking in shrugs
Talking to myself
Having these terrifying dreams
Punching the air
I can't be sober
It reminds me of the pain
Of before I boarded this plane
The plane of darkness.
It's now dawn
My time has come
To my knees I go down
Knowing I'm a failure though
I want to be a blessing in disguise.

Brian Lusimbo Poem
I stand on the pavement
Watching your movement
And envy you for a moment
'coz I'm caught in the torment
of you holding each other for approvement
Like you two were permanent.
This is just a tie
that makes me feel high
Found myself loosening my tie
To absorb the lie
That I'm gonna die
Without seeing you eye to eye.
But in my heart
I felt your heart
Is tied with my heart
So it never hurt
Soon you will part
Once you two feed your lust!
Now that you are mine
I see the sunshine
And we are fine
Being on the same line
There is no more whine
Just fine.

Brian Lusimbo Poem
Sending her that good night text
Was what I did wrong
Now having a sleepless night
Thoughts of her alone
I wonder if I'm right
To think my heart she's won!
I twist to my right
Flashes of her smiles come down.
But I wanted to sleep
With a peaceful mind
Yet thoughts of her are this deep
Yes she is one of her kind
Whose love I can't skip
Even when I try to be blind
All I see is her in my sleep.
If her love will give me peace
And it's not a cheat
I give her my heart in one piece
To feel my heart beat
So she carry's to the solace place
Where everything will be sweet
And our love we will embrace

Brian Lusimbo Poem
I loved you with passion
But realised you were in motion
First you called it love!
Never a word of gratitude
You left me in solitude
illusioned by love.
I could not understand
Why you could not stand
The quality of my love.
You took me captive
Before I could see the motive
Since I was in illusion of love.
But now I know
It was just a show
You never love!
I could not play
I allowed you away
'coz that's the pain of love!

Brian Lusimbo Poem
Yesterday you came here
Looking into your eyes
The chemistry was still there
How could love be so biase?
You made me forget my pick up line
Of how we can't be together
Even when our hearts still whine
It gives me a bother
Like red blood cells
Our love always gets reborn
Like inmates in a cell
From love we can't run
Maybe we are selfish
To let each other go
Or scared to seek a new wish
Where love could still flow
But I have to leave you alone
Though you made me feel like a baby
Like an unexpected tragedy
The heart is to blame!

Brian Lusimbo Poem
Many mistakes I make
But act like I don’t care
Now I have to take
It’s my heart I tear.
Many days I walk
Acting fine
Even laugh and talk
Yet inside I burn.
Ever had these dreams at night?
Making you sleepless!
Because everything in sight
Seem pointless.
My body was crushing
Hopes down to ashes
My spirit gnashing
Tattered and left for the masses.
I count one, two, three
Too many to stop
That’s when I dreed to be free
Even if it’s by a pope!
But rarely go to church
Not even pray
Or maybe haven’t learnt much
Even for a day.
My final cry
Is peace with my soul
And try
To be like Saul.
