Pretty Selowa Poem
What If I fall today off the edge of life,
My blood too cold to flow,
My ears deaf to the sounds made by you who are alive,
My mind shut from knowing,
Frozen by deaths icey hands from feeling ever again,
What it means to stand under the sun,
drenched by rain
Or wake up at dawn
To the busy sound of busses and of people
Merged into one?
.
What if after tonight I wake up alone
On a lonely path leading somewhere far from home,
Where I can no longer hear the laughter of my siblings
Reminding me it's Christmas, or Easter
Or my birthday?
What if tonight was my death day?
.
Would I still yearn to be the best,
Just to be applauded by wealthy hands?
Would I still spend my nights
Creating beautiful lines to entertain your famished minds,
Minds hungry for beauty and mastery.
.
What if a day comes without me?
Will I still be dauntless to say
"Nothin dey happen"
When I stand at the gate of heaven
For reckoning;
The golden gates opening
After the questioning..
Or eternal death beckoning,
My tearful eyes weeping,
The pulse of my heart racing,
Temperature rising,
Knowing this is not fever,
But something, bigger, deadlier--
"Condemned forever!"
.
What if a day comes without me?
Will you stand gloomy
Over my grave,
Wishing you told me those words clawing at your heart
And that I read the best poems you had to write,
But never did
Before my breath ceazed
And my soul answered the call from its native land,
While you wasted away time,
Dreaming of moments sublime
To tell me your thoughts and mind?
Would you hate yourself for forgetting to forgive me,
Or that the day I died, the last thing we did was fight?
You thought I'd always be fine,
Oblivious of the sad fact that we have an end so long we have a beginning.
.
But friend, do not read into this too much sadness.
Because I was just asking,
"What if a day comes without me??"

Pretty Selowa Poem
You said you loved me
And i dwelled into your gloomy eyes
I sacrificed my heart for such a pretty talker
You drew me into your world with your sweet lips
The words would just slipper out of your lips -so sweet
Who would have thought
You would whisper in my ear,
Telling me on how much you care
You would manipulate me with a beautiful conversation
But that was all a HUGE lie,
You didn't love you,
You came into my life
Just to prove a point to your friends
You just wanted to show them
That you've got what it takes
And everything worked out perfectly
You got me- and you got me laid
Within three weeks
I can't believe i fell for those pretty little conversations
You knew that one day
You were gonna break my heart
Somehow you tried creating feelings for me
But you failed,
And to be honest, it felt like you've casted a LOVE spell on me
Then one day you told me how tired you were
Of pretending to be inlove with me
You wanted to tell me the truth
But you couldn't because you were afraid
That you were gonna break my heart
Thus I trusted you, but look at me now
You know I fell inlove alone,
I never stopped thinking about yuh
Since you left me
Even though you said you developed feelings for me
After our break up
you remember back then what you kept telling me
Through all those lies you told me
"I LOVE YOU" was the best
And i loved how you would let me have a taste of your spell
"LOVE SPELL IT WAS"

Pretty Selowa Poem
Happiness is one precious moment to be cherished
Laughter is one precious thing to be flourished
Tormented is the mother of Sorrow
Jealousy bears Hatred itself
Friendship is the fixer of sadness thus unpredictable to predicaments
We appreciate every little moment shared
We laugh and cry together like nobody cares
We know one another inside and out
We seem to know what one will say before it could be said
Just like Prophecy, I already know what's in Her mind
There comes a time in life
Challenges are faced
But we still stick to one another
We seem to be running with the same pace
Paved for us not to trip along the way
But life and its obstacles there's no way
How did we lose out all of a sudden?
How did we end up in a mess as such?
Was it Love or Lust? - we ask ourselves
What did we do to deserve this?
Nobody seemed to know the answers to that but it's all upon us to figure it out
One day she did kiss and make up
She thought she had made love and moved on
But that was a lie laid upon
She made love but something went wrong
Weeks passed.. then found out she conceived
What is she going to do now?
I was asked
I -on the other hand was confused about love
Didn't know the difference between love and lust
I also did the same as she did
-FRIENDSHIP THINGS-
Unfortunately it was not Love but it was Lust
After many times of giving myself to him
He broke one's heart -my Heart
I broke down, traumatized and depressed
Then a day whereby she had to do pregnancy Test
I was there as a friend who stood by each other all the way
We both ran some blood tests as well
Just to be on the safe side
Doctor broke the news to us
She was pregnant and-
I was HIV+
Through all the trouble
One would wish to be pessimistic
Two girls with Broken Dreams
Just like a Guitar with Broken Strings
Both wished ourselves Death
And both hoped to be Resurrected
Life is a precious Gift from God
Appreciate it and let God lead the path for you

Pretty Selowa Poem
I still remember it like it was yesterday
You know it could have never been like "narrow" days
Memories too quinched like a silent narrow path
Those days all i knew was Love
All i felt was Love
And all that was because of you
Got none much to say; words so few
His name was Austin
You'd swear he was conceived for me to find
With him, I couldn't care less what people said
He said he loved me ... I must admit it felt like those ordinary phrases one used to always hear
But i knew i should face a certain typa fear
Out of curiosity one would wonder
Was it me or with him i was growing fonder?
I guess that was matters of my heart
Through thick and thin i told myself al be there
But then, Life can lead one on a different path..not paved
Just like in Marriage ceremonies
When making 'em oaths and vows
In sickness and in health - i was there
For richer or Poor - i would be there
To support and to cherish
All that, i did it coz i care
I thought i have lost my mind
But like they said,
If you have never lost your mind; then you've never followed your heart
Loving him made it harder
But days without him seemed colder
Not sulking though - It seems all planned out
No lie - Feels like the past but.. i made an oath i can never take back
Matters of the Heart
I still care for Him
Even willing to do the UNTOLD
The story of my life, but al never UNFOLD
