Ephraim Nkunika Poem
Choke me
With the sweetness of your voice
Torture me
With your bosom as we cuddle
Heal my core
Soothe the pain on my feet
Inherited on this path
Drown me
With the flood of your love
Kill me
With the life I want to spend with you
Judge me
Sentence me to more of this
Love me
Like I’ve never been loved
Shush my lips
With the warmth of yours
Love me

Ephraim Nkunika Poem
Sink in me
Get drunk with me
Until am all you see
As you relax in the gutter
Of my arms where you sleep
And am still your bartender
Still giving you love so tender

Ephraim Nkunika Poem
Her heart a fortress
Her mind untamed
Immune to hypnosis
By roses and compliments
A thousand lovely sonnets
Wouldn’t make a difference

Ephraim Nkunika Poem
Speechless
Yet with mountains to speak
Are you a magician?
What’s your trick?
I feel numb
Every time I stare
Into your beautiful eyes
Down to your cheeks
I always freeze
Failing to spit
My heart out
Dying to tell you
You are all I think about
You, you make me stupid
Crazy, doesn’t even define it
You are the reason
I just smile when we meet
I wish you could read
The story behind those squeezed cheeks
When I don’t say much
Just know I can write
Pages about us

Ephraim Nkunika Poem
I am weeping in this line
I am sobbing in this rhyme
Am screaming under a tide

Ephraim Nkunika Poem
With open ears and a closed mind
I basked in the sun of information
I swam in deep seas
Of knowledge
Breathed in corrections
Just to later breath out fury
Paranoid of my pride’s fate
Believed I was an island
So I wrecked every ship
In my radar
Turned off every light
You may say I was up tight
But from the comfort of the dark
That was surely right
I only applauded ideas
In my custody
Perceived everything as stupidity

Ephraim Nkunika Poem
I wrote 3 words
To show you I miss you
I wrote 3 more
To let you know how I feel
At the realisation
Of competition
I figured this letter
Needs a distinction
Padorn my insecurity
These pages go up to twenty
Dear, I don't know if am there yet
Still I say it
Hoping mutual
It will soon be
Hold your heart
swallow your pride
And let me take you
Through a journey of hearts
I didn't come riding a stallion
Just my dirty feet
Am no Prince Charming
But Charming you will see
Maybe I came a little hard on you
But clarity is all I seek
See, I've been feeling
This way for ages
Words boiling down my chest
So nauseating
Oh! What an ache
Will you let me take you
Or break

Ephraim Nkunika Poem
In the morning when I am wake
And the evening as the sun fades
Every time of the day
I search for my better self
But yikes! You are away
In a crowded space
I feel out of place
Immersed in loneliness
I long for your presence
How I miss those cherry-like lips
Just hanging from that wonderfully molded
Chin of yours
I miss staring at those beautiful eyes
Embedded in that sweet angel’s face
I miss that captivating voice
Saying all kinds of jokes
Opinions, dreams and hopes

Ephraim Nkunika Poem
Kiss by kiss
Till I fill your life with bliss
Then you begin to miss
Every little fragment of this
Every time you are away
And you come crawling my way
Just to meet me half way
Then we quench our thirst
In each others arms
Every moments like the first
Palm in Palm

Ephraim Nkunika Poem
Give me all
That's all I want
A broken heart
Your darkest soul
Your haunted home
And all your ghosts
Let them play with mine
As you host
Give me your night mares
And all your jokes
What you've won
And what you've lost
Your lovely days
And all your flaws
I want you all
Not a point short
A rose with thorns
A meat with bones
All your fears
And all your tears
I don't want Halloween days
When you wear happy masquerades
And hide your eyes in shades
While your real face fades
Under a smile so fake
When I stumble on our way
