Happy And Sad

Happy and Sad – never come together
They are very different in nature,
Happy is very cute, always smiling
Sad is just opposite, very depressing….

Sad is very jealous of Happy
The moment sad is in, Happy feels unsteady...
When Happy is with me, I am also very happy
But the moment Sad is in, I feel scared and shaky…

I just want to be alone, when I am with sad,
Though I know that he is very bad….
I know I can’t escape from sad
If I try to run away, I will go mad…
So, I try to react normal, irrespective of each other
I know that one is going to come after another…

Loving A Poet

When poets make love on pages

They put words were sexy words fit perfectly

They smooth run cold conversations and blocks of ice in slow motion

On all romantic options

They block fear away from these unstable oceans

While seducing all attractive images of faultless pickup lines

They fly like homeless flies befriending endless dreams on skyscrapers

Poets paraphrase their faces when they kiss on papers

They eeeechooooo echo kisses in repetition until notorious predictions are detained and predicted

In hand held inspirations they cook unbelievable recipes

They compose verses on home-made beds

Even worse

kitchens turn into Bedroom beds

Their kitchens are pre prepared prier portions of word recitals and fork and knives

Date or no date their mandates are easy to date

Snitch and Sneak preview their unspoken slams on different dates

Fight back for all that’s bad with your madness in different dates

They're licenced to use military expressions

They mic tongues naming each kiss a masterpiece speaking back on all evil kills

They terrorize silence in screams of pleasurable skills

Neighbors have rights to take sleeping pills

Poets can scream their pleasures in love making moments

These humans master piece their body languages in flings

Paragraphs of candle lights and strawberries paint their private lives

High five to those who date multiple poems on a single date

Poets love loving love on hateful dates

Poets love making love

They careless

if you mimic their rhythmic drums

When they

caress your skin with Goosebumps

They drive their mics in circle with no driver's licence

They sense love from a distance with no expense

Love makes composers love speaking in tongues

With lights up all night long they forget life is time

Take your time kinda like love making times

They tease multiple metaphors with background music

Stripping truth naked

Poets don’t miss their past lovers

They know how the book ends

They plant baby poems on each other's bosoms

Hugging all night

like sober minded blushes

When poets make love in pages

They put words were sexy words fit perfectly

I am a little purple flower
My petals so extremely small
I 've stood in the grass for many an hour
Enjoying a breeze most of all

But, oh, what happened to my peers!
Just yesterday, it moved me to tears
While the children of John were playing their game
My peers were trampled to death, what a shame

When just before that, some bigger flowers were damaged
The children were scolded badly by John
But when my brothers were ravaged
It was noticed, sadly, by none

Today, however, I had a reason to smile
A nerd, or so he must be
Looked at this little purplish flower, a while
And took a picture of me

Even if tomorrow, to the worst of my fears
I have to die, as yesterday my peers
I will do so happily
since someone has seen the beauty in me.

Amazing Partner

The very first day we met is still fresh,

Just like the morning fresh,

So cool like the morning dew…

So charming like the love of a damsel,

Am still dazzled by our meeting…

At the rose garden I sat,

Starring at the birds flying above my head,

Wishing I can be free as them,

Free from stress and boredom of the day,

Wishing to be a freeman

Lovers exchanging their emotions and feelings,

Filling the vacuum in others heart,

The rose complementing their activities,

None was beside me to fill the vacuum in my heart,

Not even the pleasantries’ of the rose.

The birds tried to converse with me using their songs,

But I was sunk in loneliness,

Loneliness so strong that I became blinded

And deaf,

To the lovely wishes sent by nature.

I conversed with my inner man,

He was also jealous of other lovers playing around the garden,

Envy took over my veins,

And my blood ceased to flow,,,

All because of loneliness.

Then I heard your footsteps so tender and gentle,

Walking towards me.

I looked but all I saw was a damsel clothed with beauty,

So radiating that even the roses fell in love with her,

The birds raised an anthem in her name.

Yet I wasn’t relieved,

How can I be when I knew nothing about her?

But wished to know,

She sensed my loneliness

And was moved.

All of a sudden I felt a touch of love,

So charming so lovely

My inner man became enchanted………

To a damsel I know nothing about

But wished to know.

A question came to me,

So sudden that I stumbled gathering the answers,

But never get one……

How can I when a radiating beauty has covered my sense of reasoning?

When all I needed was love and not questions?

The roses felt this and ran to my rescue,

The birds responding with melodies

As I strive for an answer,

They gave me a clue,

A route to the answer….

your beauty was the route

So narrow but wide,

Your smile was the companion I longed for,

I found it and was made……

Thanks to the children of nature.

You gave me love so strong that my loneliness fled at your sight,

Your beauty radiated into my darkness and I was enlightened.

From that day until this very moment,

I know nothing but the joy of companion ship,

The joy of friendship.

Can I forget this lovely moment?

Can I forget the beautiful roses that witnessed our meeting?

Our meeting is ever fresh

Living with us in our memory and never to go,

Our meeting is as your beauty and am yet to understand it.

Love and Pain

I once thought you loved me

Your words I trusted

Your breath I once desired to feel

Aspired to always be your desire

You made believed every word you ever said to me

Filled my memory with thoughts

Your own thoughts

My gaze became filled with your face

You told me not to look at the sky

Made me believe it wasn’t meant for me

You became my sky

The sky that reflects my moon

I never believed in promise

Not until I met you

Never believed in true love

Until my eyes beheld you

I was threw off my balance the moment I approached you

My speech left me

My vocal organs became dormant

Confused state I was thrown

Promises I made to myself became broken

Broken and replaced by your own promises

Reasons to love

The joy to be loved you gave me

Joy I thought no man would ever take from me

My state and fate you changed

And I became empty

Yet filled with your thoughts

All these while I thought they were all true

True like your beauty

Beauty that can never be washed away

Beauty that has come to stay

I never knew it was vanity

Never knew it will one day fade away

Away like ashes before the wind

Away like a melted ice

But how can I know

When I was lost

Lost in my thought of you

Lost in vanity that will fade

I never knew until you left

I never understood until I looked for you

Searching through winter and summer

Searching for a beauty that has long gone

Beauty that has gone beyond my reach

Gone never to return again

Gone as ashes

Washed away by wind

You left not minding all your promises

Promises made out of a solemn heart

Saddled by love

Promise made with love

To the great world beyond you went

World where my word will never reach

Never to penetrate

A world of great hunters

That is where you choose to be

A land where men and women has travelled to

But never returned

That is where you choose to be

You left and so did the joy

Joy that was once my strength

Joy that came out of our love

Joy untold is now being told

Now I weep

Like Moulisa I mourn

Shedding tears that you never wished to see

Tears of pain

Pains of love

Will my tears know an end?

Will I ever see your beautiful face?

Will I be given another chance to behold the source of my joy?

Joy once untold

I live with hope

Hope from an unknown source

Hope stronger than love

Hope that one day we shall meet to part no more

I once thought you loved me

Your words I trusted

Your breath I once desired to feel

Aspired to always be your desire

You made believed every word you ever said to me

Filled my memory with thoughts

Your own thoughts

My gaze became filled with your face

You told me not to look at the sky

Made me believe it wasn’t meant for me

You became my sky

The sky that reflects my moon

I never believed in promise

Not until I met you

Never believed in true love

Until my eyes beheld you

I was threw off my balance the moment I approached you

My speech left me

My vocal organs became dormant

Confused state I was thrown

Promises I made to myself became broken

Broken and replaced by your own promises

wHEN I GET HOME

What a world of mortal men

A world where pains dwell amongst men

No gain until you stain your hands

Bands of evil men living all around you

The law is trampled by those who set the law

The voice of the oppressed is no longer heard

He dwells in his pains all day

With no hope of being consoled

What a world where the rulers dine

With the sweat of the oppressed

The tears of the innocent they bath with

Dining on a wretched flesh

This world is not a home to live in

The unborn comes with joy of breathing free air

But becomes choked the moment he steps out

Pain stands to welcome him at the door

The tussle for power has eaten deep into the lives of men

Their souls being consumed yet they care not

The blood of the citizens being spilled for such power

They derive joy in such

The future of the young is no longer guaranteed

No means of survival

He struggles to get ends meat

Yet it is taken away from him

Will such a man have joy within him?

He deals in whatever will pay his bills

Not minding to spill blood

As long as he fills his stomach

The words of wisdom has been killed

The fools boast in their foolishness

For killing Mother Wisdom

The hope of the oppressed

I wish to leave this world sooner

I wish to go to a place called home

Where peace dwells

And love is the cloud

Home is a place where giants

Kings and freemen dwell

Neither oppressor nor commander

For all are equal

Home I long for all day

Wishing that time will move faster

Wishing that the wind will lift me off my feet

And take me to a home filled with glory

This home wasn’t built by men

Else they boast of it

And pride enters their heart

Consuming them

This home is the hope of the innocent

His tears will be wiped off his face the moment he gets home

The unborn feels love in multitude

And wished to be born sooner

I speak of a home prepared by God

For those who love and obey his will

Those whose hands haven’t been stained

The righteous and the light bearers

I will go home soon

Soon all my pains will die

And joy untold shall possess me

Joy unlimited shall encompass me

When I get home

BELSYGINGS

An angel with a beauty so dazzling

So radiating that one will mistake its rays as that of the sun

This beauty is the first of its kind

Specialist in fixing broken hearts through its love

My heart it picked and fixed it together

My sleeping soul it awoke from slumber

War is bad but for this beauty am ready to go to the battle front

Bars will be brought down all for this love

This beauty is priceless but I bought it

Surrounded by walls so strong that none dares climb

So mighty like Jericho

Yet I pulled it down before breaking of the dawn

Your nearness takes my breath away and am made speechless

Things I wanted to say can find no voice

Then in silence I have but one hope, my eyes will speak my heart

My speech organs failed at the thought of this beauty

The air being filled with the fragrance of her love

Pure and sure than the love of a rose

Who is she?

Who is this beauty?

Pretty and lovely than rose

She goes by the name Belsygeo

A name Kings will strive to but yet it’s priceless

Belsygeo is an epitome of beauty

Gings is my name but no meaning without Belsy

Joined together we became BelsyGings

A name that has come to stay

Silent Cry

This silence must be broken

The cry repressed heard

Expressing the grieves unknown

Our leaders in outfit well braid

Forgetting their role indeed pressing

Who will intervene in this pinch driven?

Into the hearts of the common folks derailed

With their pound of blood dripping

Into the systems they have much given

Without any benefits derived

Our legislators are indoors debating

For life pension greedily desired

They never really deserved such

Oh! What a misery have befallen our selection

Hope we will be wise enough to halt the disease dreaded

When they come around in the days of voting

Distributing rice and salts detrimental to our health

This silence must indeed be broken and our voices heard

WHY LONELY?

I can feel your heart beat

I sense your pain like the wolf’s bane.

Your presence all day i feel

Like the air from the hill,

Like you never went away,

But you were never there for a day.

I can see your tears,

Like a stream none dares bear.

My heart aches each time your tears fall to the ground….

Like the crowd has taken away my crown,

The sadness on your face can never be hidden….

So before you say you are okay I knew you are kidding.

My name you said you don’t need to get fame

But your heart screams so loud same name

Why can’t you accept what you feel?

Why being lonely when the space can be filled?

Life has knocked me down many times
Shown me things i never wanted to see

Sadness it seems has known my name
but one thing is for sure
I always get up

Each time i get up i look at the mirror and feel wow
after all theses scars and bruises, trials,
i made it
I survived that which tried to kill me

Now am gonna strengthen and tighten my loins
walking like nothing ever happened
walking upon the hills like a king

Am gonna reach the mountain top drink from the fountain
And am gonna tell life that i gat all it takes to survive
Am gonna let it know my cavalry is ever behind me

Am gonna stand tall and proclaim the falls of my rivals
Am never gonna dull cos' am full and filled with grace
Running my race never to loose my pace for any face

Am gonna make it for success is not an option but a must
Am going to muster all the courage until non is left
Am gonna make it to the mountain top and fate can't stop

Because I gat my JESUS
