Tongues of Fire

Peoples hearts and tongues implicitly they are wild 
Men and women's hearts pump venom yet faces mild 
My tears are turning black I am out of normal tears 
Blood pots from me black blood flows from my ears
Peoples language is down, down with everyone,down!
Jealousy a snake wrapping the heart it wraps the tow

All the Time In the World

Time
Swift unceasing
Moves strides sprightly
I wish time gratified me 
Rhythm

Firm In Pain

My life was found in pain 
I was ransomed for a pen

Never will I permit my soul to ache 
I won't construct  the same mistake
 
I was throbbing everyday
My grief was unheard anyway

Now I will stand compacted 
My aplomb will be contracted

Obstacle

My family never allows me to read a book 
Every time I attempt to read a page they'll tell me to cook
So day and night  I sweat
But bitterness wipes of the wet 
Triumphantly it makes me do all the work

On the Edge

My heart keeps shedding tears at every musing of it 
The arteries can't feed it tea or it will never eat
Will the emotions cease 
Will I ever relish a light breeze 
Or should I pluck you out so that you never beat

I Do Not Sleep

I lie awake I do not sleep
I do not sleep I only weep
Do not come to check on me at night i lie awake
My is always complaining for its always at work
Insomnia lies next to me asleep 
He whispers in my ear that I cannot sleep cause I'm sleek.

To you

I have made  myriads of blunders but yours makes my heart ache 
That I didn't tell you, makes it the most regrettable mistake.
But,like the moon I will love you silently from afar
Knowing well that you will never be my emotions Chauffeur.
Living in remorse is just something I must  take

I betrayed myself for nothing

I just wanna know how I became so low 
For never had I known that one so dear would make me lose my cheer
I started yearning I started hoping anew
I thought this creature would be my sunrise to dispel the dawn in my soul
All my friends had my back that this creature was all things but now I'm screwed and depression rules 
Went against myself thought I had this 
Thought I'd gain something
But I betrayed myself for nothing .

To Sorrow From Tio

Beforehand there was great sorrow
That time before Katie brought jovial
I wondered lonely as a cloud 
Til the day she made me pour down rain
As the cold air drew to our cheeks
So did our minutes quicken to their end
I left as my heart grew on it a hole
For never has there been a story of woe
Than this of Khondwani and her Tio

He waits

Am chained, in pain and he waits to quench his thirst.
He's known for his claws on his victims head 
I'm his only food ,alone in a cave he will eat me first 
Before I arrive due to freight I'll already be dead 
Those sleepless nights I had I can rest in his gut as my bed
This fiendish beast he knows I'm coming he waits
This life is cruel I'm now its trade
This fiendish beast he knows I'm coming he waits.
