Life Is Full of Ink

The road is thick
You can't move through, that quick
Sometimes making you feel sick 
Or you were cursed maybe think
Indeed, life is full of ink

Today I stand here before you
From tiredness I can say, phew!
I have achived something new
Graduation over me who knew?
Something I wished as I grew

I have to smile for myself
As hard work brought success on my shelf
Building and civil engineering see yourself
For you I come my dream from twelve
I am happy for myself 

I have sailed from primary with a D grade
Thought I will loss it but prayed
Junior school made some of the upgrade
A strong C grade really paid
Woke from my resting shade

Came my senior with 35 clean points
The hard work and prayer never disappoints 
My tertiary is here I rejoice
It wasn't my choice
Thanks to all who raised their voice

Lost and Found

I was on the peak of my death
Depression sunk to its depth
I can’t forget the tears I wept
Maybe those were my last steps
Lost in the dark
Tired of living
My heart melting out
Drinking being my hobby
I don’t remember much, most lines are blank
But came a guardian angel
Savior to the poor soul; lost soul of times
Helped in joining the dots for the rhymes
Changed the past for the better tomorrow
Made use of the heart seen then as hollow
The lost was found again
All the pain made to drive away

Because of You

Because of you, I made up the ladder
Because of you, life seemed sweet
Because of you, I tried hard and harder with no fear
Because of you, I wrote and filled the pages
Because of you, I forgot all the hard times
Because of you, I knew what love was
Because of you, I healed from my Ex
Because of you, now am crying in love
Because of you, my soul was healed
Because of you, I am who I am now

Being a Hero

I’ve been reading the books of old
Watching the legends and the myths
Flash’s killer frost with her cold
The gifted with their gifts
The testament they hold
Wishing I had even batman’s fists
To protect you like the green arrow
Be there when you need me in a flash

Somebody with a superhuman gift
A superhero, always to take the risk
Not just somebody you can kiss
But someone who can whisk
Maybe a suit before I lift
Like flash taking a great risk
To protect you like superman
Be there when you need me in a vibe

More than someone to turn to
Someone to fly you high like super-girl
Someone to shine for you
Brighten your life like rod from star-girl
Make your world full of fantasy like legacies’
Knowing all what you desire like Lucifer’s
To take control of you like spider-man
Being your hero, superhuman with super gifts.

Hard Love

Josepoet;
If I told you I love you, will you say it back?
If I told you I want you, will you do the same back?
If I told you that I need you, will you say it back?
If I tell you what I feel, will you believe me?
If I tell you how I care, will you believe me?
If I told you my hard love for you, will you take it?

What if I ask for one chance, will you give it to me?
What if I tell you I don’t do heartbreaks, will you believe me?
What if I tell you my love is for forever, will you accept me?
If I don’t bribe you with fancy things, will you still love me?
What if my thoughts aren’t a mistake, will you take me?
What about my hard love for you now, will you say yes?

Zari;
Saying I love you back is no hard task,
But the weight of the love said,
Wanting you too I am human with flesh,
But is this want really mutual?
Feeling you blood runs in my veins,
But how deep is the said feeling?
Caring you claim to do,
Can you take a bullet for me?

Chances I have given more than enough,
Frogs I have kissed all thousand,
I never found that my right sir,
In you what is different from them?
How do I love a thousand plus one?
If I accept you, where will my fate lie?
How will you convince my heart to love again?
Will you teach me how to trust again?

Ending Is Nothing, But New Starting

I thought death is the only thing waiting for me
I thought I was a foreigner in this world
I thought I was a fugitive of life
Just because all ended in a blast

I thought I was being nailed on the cross
I thought I was serving my sentence
I thought I was the weed in the garden
Just because all a trusted walked away

The Faith died before I noticed
Hope vanished before I planned of anything
Happiness dried before serving the drought tasty
All walked away and vanished with no return

Despite the facts, today I can stand and shout
Ending is nothing but new starting
New light has shone on my innocence
Glory bringing new faith, hope and happiness

Life is a circle, we are orbiting around it
When you think you are done
Is when the sun rise again for you
Just keep the trust, the rest will be tied walking alone and be back

Will You

When the light goes off and welcomes the darkness
When the sun shuts down and no shinning stars
When the river dries up and no flowing joy left
Will you still love me the same? Will you?

When the ink ends and no writing anymore
When the smile fades and tears make their way out
When the rain floods our surface and drowns us
Will you still love me the same? Will you?

When the battery dies and no more chatting
When the lens breaks and no more photoshoots
When the wire tears and no more flow of current
Will you still love me the same? Will you?

When the saliva dries and no more kisses
When the eyes blind up and no more beautiful looks
When the ears turn deaf and no more listening
Will you still love me the same? Will you?

When the glass breaks, no more drinking
When the plate breaks, no more eating
When the bed breaks, no more love
Will you still love me the same? Will you?

Will you still love me the same?
Or you will show me shame?
Will you still be the person you are?
Or you will move for someone else?

You Got It

You know I love you
You know I care about you
You know I trust you
But if you wanna break my heart baby
Now you got it

I never like break up
I never like heartbreaks
But you got the keys to my heart now
If you wanna break my heart baby
Now you got it

If it is what will make you happy
If it is all you need to breath
Take the shot and do it
If you wanna break my heart baby
Now you got it

If you thinK of leaving me behind
Do it and feel good now
No hate will dwell in me either
Take a bite and break my heart baby
Now you got it

Every Moment

Every heartbeat counts
Every heartbeat brings breath
Every heartbeat is life
Every heartbeat brings pain
Every heartbeat brings a smile
Every heartbeat triggers success
Every heartbeat spits love sparks
Every heartbeat is a relief
Every heartbeat wipes a flowing tear
Every heartbeat brings hope
Every heartbeat maintains faith
Every heartbeat welcomes another heartbeat

Every minute a life is born
Every minute a life is taken
Every minute a heart is broken
Every minute an opportunity is gotten
Every time I think an idea is created
Every moment hearts are broken and everything else is needed for growth but not without wisdom

So Broken

Nowadays I never get the calls
The deep love turned to be shallow
Kick away like a rugby ball
No care if I hit the wall
I’m so broken

Someone I used to call Mi Amor
Someone I gave a lot than more
Now leaving me on the floor
Closed the love door
I’m so broken

I thought you were the one to clean my sweat
Only to notice late have not gotten yet
Thought you will pay my loving debt
Only to change for worse than better
I’m so broken
