Death

Death, what union have i with thee?
When tears rid our joys
like dust on its trails
I call upon thee
to open the chambers of your heart
let me see the root of your sting
perhaps uproot its manliness
or pluck an eye into your conscience
for you have blindly tramped on us
leaving us desolate in sorrow

Death, we dont need you

The Tree

It is a tree
rooted in the depth of sorrow
Nourished of human blood
erected on human souls
Until now, this dawn

Here is a tree
That has longed for its share
of the bright summer sunlight
That has longed flood the skies

Now a shoot is off
Like a current of furious rivers
Ready for the stars
for the dream life
basking on the sunlight

It is a tree
growing in a heart full of skepticism
Devoid of trust

The last day

When you disappear
From my horizons
I hope you look back
To the warmth left behind

At the brake of dawn
I rushed to see your first smile
Your eyes giggling in delight
But now its all fading memories

A sweet memory that trimmed each dusk
With a warm embrace of your soul
and a word in kindness
to keep the night soft and tender

Soon you disappear
And wave goodbye
I will not cry nor brake down
But cherish moments in our memories

Moments coloured with a smile
Wrapt in the tenderness of your presence
and how we basked
in the each others comfort

My world of sins shut out
and you myopic past hidden
Only you and I breathing
In the glory of our love

Emotions beyond depth
though it started in a menace
the articulation of lust
But it grew wings

We shared my bed
My soul open to you
Your heart beating my rhymes
to our delight

But soon everything fades
and so does my existence
a saddening contemplation
of such a gruesome day

Your smile, that Kiss
your embrace and sweet breath
The last i know
Betrayed by time and the mute pursuits

Hopeful

You know the tears
of a dumbstruck lone boy
crying to a God
hoping He bless his soul
For all the joys missed
And all the pains swallowed

When the music stops
And there is no more hope
For the little boy
Running short of love
Looking up to a God
As if to curse Him

Whether the sun shines down
There is hope for another day
When his soul will be bitterly bruised again

Unfaithful

I smile
A cold stare
Flaked with deep seated resentment
Is all i receive back

Sweet smiles are no more
A stranger now receives my kiss
I am not sure
Even as i see her standing here

I reach closer
A step back and a turn
Disgusted by a kiss she once longed for
A love she called her own

All night in the cold
Waiting for love to rise again
And revive my soul
Like it was before the City

Rose

Goodbye Rose
For years of your tenderness
were not spent in vain

For now you are ready
for the world to cherish
for the world to trample upon

Right infront of our eyes
like a sparrow you took off
for this wild world

I cried a tear or two
But never thought
I could break a smile

To see you walk away
To see you face your horizons
to see you reach for the sky

But soon it dawns
with balloons and bombs
tearing you apart

you may break down
or hold on to hope
when faced with gruesome odds

but see the light
when all is done
in your childhood peace

Is this love?

I see you I dont
My mind twisted
tossed around aimlessly
is this love?

Can i hang on to hope?
even now when the night fades
without a glimpse of stars
what is this?

Can't I fee the tears?
boiling inside my heart
waiting to rupture into a flood of sorrow
am i ready for it?

To cry heartbreaks
and wail for the love never felt
a fantasy that clouded my mind
for how long?

Will i wait for love in vain?
a thing never promised?
is this love?

The journey of Love

Count my love not labour lost
though sunk in the depth of despair
Where love is nothing but a dream
that i wake up to loose

spare my soil its deserved shame
though gone astray in lusty lonely ways
int he depth of my essence
a deeper love rest untouched

how can i sacrifice your soul?
something i never owned?
if not in the hope of love
the truth that keeps me on

on and on, the road of life
though dry and weary
never mourn my just decline
in thi unkind journey of love

Memories

You are lost in the jungle
While i seek my soul in the city
Days swiftly pass by
Washing away fading precious memories
of days spent in your warmth
watching the sun rise
With the melodies of sparrows
Watching the sun set
with a gold that set the rivers red
and sparkle your smile in the dark
when confined to shelf-life
I reminisce the time spent
and the time wasted
in the folly of our youth

Jumping off the wall

When i was but a little boy
I jumped off the wall
Fell on erected thorns
Broke a bone or two
Cried a tear or two
But today when i meet the same ordeal
It is not an experience
But failure to keep standing
