Giovanni Shologu Poem
Enchanting eyes.
So brown like autumn leaves.
Mesmerizing smile.
Fairer than snowflakes.
Beguiled by my delusion of what you are.
Painted the picture so perfect.
One's gaze has to be through my eyes.
Portrait so perfect.
I tucked its sharp ends away.
They prick me.
And each cut pierces my soul
With your baneful caress
You make it all better
I submerse deeper each day
To your treachery
Your covetousness, feign so patent they cram me
But again, you plant qualm
And I end up dubious of my sanity
Shifting blame to my imagination
Only one to make me laugh
Without uttering a word
You know just the buttons
Peculiar acrimony
So calamitous yet so inimitable
You are a part of me
I am part of you
Imprisoned by words
Actions dancing to a different tune
Trapped in fiction
Enforced to overlook
Your ills, I am weary
But again, with your crooked claws
You pull me nigh
Maul away all my trepidation
And I, gently reach out for your embrace.

Giovanni Shologu Poem
Avalanching in this benighted place.
Hollow noise like the roar of an angry bull.
Emotionally desolate, importune of answers.
Feeling castigated, in bleak. Veer not from me oh dear God.
Embedded in avalanche.
I bellow for luminosity.
Seeking comfort in coldness
Heart shattered, sighs echoing. Forgive me for my sins oh dear God.
Broached in a new world of wretchedness I never knew existed.
My visage turning into the seven seas.
Far offshore
As I ebb away with the tides. I fix my eyes onto you oh dear God.
A silent prayer,
Cloak my tribulations.
Let there be oblivion.
And this gloom a phase. Make me whole again oh dear God.
Gestation period
A grotesque routine
Queasiness
Excruciating. Give me strength oh dear God.
Avalanching in this benighted place.
Feeling castigated, in bleak.
Importune of answers.
Why me? Hear my cry oh dear God.
