I Am Just a Soldier

Never thought of making weapons, 
But I’ve been called an expert, 
Others are suspect for their skills,
The hackers; magicians; tyrant. 
I am the same guy with a heart, 
Although I’ve been hurt 
So were my victims, 
Nothing that’s recognized 
Can state otherwise, 
I am human too 
With a shining pure soul.
Maybe my patriotism turned
And to you that's cruelty 
But I still see myself
As a citizen too, 
I am a soldier! 
And if need be
I shall die for my country

Don'T Be Afraid

DON’T BE AFRAID
I live to please you, 
I live to see the best in you
You and I are the best match
Havens have open mountains
Heavy rains ought to end us
But don’t be afraid

I have created tents to keep you safe
The safest place for you is in my heart
Where only my thoughts and blood play
My blood oozes with oxygen and love
Don’t be afraid this love is forever

I have devoted all my love to you
The clouds have surrendered its beauty for us
This is all for you
So don’t be afraid

This is the love that children will fantasizes 
This is the love that you wished for
Your wishes have come true

Mother of All

Come when you are ready to love me
And come when you realized more of love
The time when flesh mean nothing than dust
Come when you are ready to see me
Not just pain that paint my solace soul
And when darkness no longer breeds sorrow
Come when you really want pure bliss
And call to whom that bestow blessings
Wait for me as I stagger like a foolish pagan
Come when all sores are wide open
Wide enough for a blind eye to see
Call me before dawn fades my dreams
Light the wisdom of the goddess to this valley
A valley I wander through day and night
Find your vanity before winter wrinkle all sweat
I shall wait to the corner of your heart all night
Visit me more often than you thirst for water
Water my dust with your pure tears
Look for signs to those flourishing flowers
And sing my last rhymes of sweet poetry

Time

I want to say good night
But its night as yet to you
I can see darkness now
If maybe you never left

I have to say good night
Darkness has defeated me
Only your love can resurrect me
I am afraid to go now
But I have to go and live under the shads
Love me to my silent place

Good night when you see the moon
Flower me with roses from abandon garden 
Cover me with what i was and be now
Good night sleep with elevated power

Lonely Sky

I look to the skies hoping to see a sign
A sign of a stars shining like diamonds
I toss the thoughts of you to the heap of stars
All the happiness dressed with flowers
I took time to remember you singing
A voice so sweet it turned roses yellow
I yelled to the gloomy mountains for you
And light shone like twilight in heaven
Through demons and angels my plea recognized
And I finally feast on your beauty like a vulture
Thou thoughts mingle in space and time
I remembered your dancing eyes with adventure
So keen to let the desires leave the dust
I saw you in the sky strolling like a queen towards eternity

The Last Letter

i went into a dream the day my eyes saw you,
and for years i’ve been waiting for you to come
i thought that the splendid mountains came
And swallowed all what belonged to me 

i sleep not now 
for my dream is living to see you smile
as your smile fills voids and open wounds 
of any man with a bleeding heart
your smell leaves trails of scents beautiful 
that flowers blossoms behind wildly

now all i do is write tales about our future love
you and i have leaving all sorrows that tried to seize us
so we shall live to surprise the earth and all its deeds
together walking on thorns without wincing 
nor fear that haunts even battle warriors
thou the clouds and majestic oceans reckon 
the power of patience embedded within us
but the last word that suffocates many is lust

so let me sleep that tomorrow shall shines white
for ours is written beyond walls made by men
but the walls that only few saw the birth of it 
those that saw it first! 
drunk from it and were made kings over life
tills death became greedy of their mighty 

so make my bed the field of love 
lay all the beauty that even ants are so keen to taste
keep me so close to your life as i write to heavens
sleep so that angels comes with the anointing
and blow me kisses that travel through all stars

Back To School

They all look happy after school
He suddenly lose all that glow after school
He now sees reality flashing as the school time end
It’s time to back where his roots lays
She is also showing signs of sadness
For her going back is even harder
Far but it’s nothing compare to the pain
The pain of looking after her brother
His eyes tell the story hidden from his cute face
The looks many says he pick from his mother
Their parents have passed after a hard fought sickness
The same sickness that he is living with
Some say their parents were bewitched
But she knows the truth as her brother look upon her
She is ready to do anything for him like lioness fighting furiously
As her mother’s words ring to her ears;
‘Look after your brother’
The days are even longer then months
The months are years to them
Only Sundays are a blessing to them 
Playing is not for them as many fear them
Consumed by fear all they do is read their books
Deprived to associate with other kids
Loneliness crept and engulfs them like a dog in the wilderness 
It’s back to school

School for young brains to be nurtured
But a child so young with an old brain
He too wanted to play and live normally
She too would have enjoyed doing her hair
Living in a free country yet nothing is free for them
Having rights that will not bring food on the table
But her father contradicted this thought
As he said “always see this as an opportunity to success”
Only success can give them the life they envy to live
A life of being happy
A life of being accepted for who you are
Even now they wait and live by the hope
The hope of getting this grant money
Hoping that their granny will get back
Back to their simple and haunting house
The house so controlled by fear and shame
House that gives birth to pouring tears 
This is their house and burden for life
This is the house with no breadwinner
They are the only survivors in this house
They will be the corners of this house.

Sold

A quick transaction made
A soul seeking for deposition
Deposited in solid walls
Walls so opaque with no decorations
Walking with passion of sailing the future
Posted with an envy heart of gold
Lend to fears of withdrawal from the dust
Abandoned like a child of a monster
Throbbing with wounds of rejection
I am sold to destitution left by forefathers
Thrown to the field of ghosts and demons
Haunted all day and nights
Withering to all the shameful surroundings
Banked to the highest blazing fears of hell
Seeking for resurrection that shall set me free
I am sold, sold by the one who loved me
The one calling me a friend

Fear For Tomorrow

A day so bright, so unique from the birth today all was new
But I fear that as today let go all will be old tomorrow
Today I drank from the pond so clean, so pure that nothing I knew
For I was cleansed with the rich love overflowing like streams sorrow
Thou I know that tomorrow will entice me with burning lust
The sun has seen and shone so far; saw you in time of emotions
I fear today will not let me take this love to keep till the last days
I want to take your love beyond the mountains of tomorrow
I fear tomorrow will seduce me to its beauty oozing with joy
Give me the strength of a lion so that I can resist persisting sounds toys
Sorry my sweet soul for I fear the adventures of tomorrow
I fear the mountains will eclipse the images of you looking shy
Not even yesterday can attest to the feeling that will stay with me

I Go

I go where love is the key
I go where only hope seize
Let me go to the eternity
Where I will see splendid beauty
The beauty of stars and angels
Where the flowers blossom like in summer

There in the fallen misty mountains
There i shall see the great plains of Africa
And little houses looking like ants colonies
I go where all turmoil shall vanish
This is the home of all the kings of ancient times

Come with me so our names shall be remembered
Follow me to the bliss of pagan souls
Come hear how they are chanting your name
Hear the captain at the end of the bridge
