Its my day with destiny
The day my flesh will disintegrate
Sweat soaked face my teeth feels shattered
With the suit of death and button to end it all with a shiver.
As am lead out my legs feels like rubber.
I close my eyes and fall into that bottomless pit and everlasting sleep.

In hopes for the rising sun
We sat in darkness: eaten by corruption
dancing with poverty, we were.
Sounds of wailing and pain,
Even in headphones, were all we could hear
Even, now we still sit in hopes for the rising sun

SLIDEwaxie:
There is a land not far away
Filled with honey and milky juices
Wedged between fleshy branches
Covered from dirt with dark thick bushes
There I must go, and I must make hay
For my path is made on your narrow way!

badt guy, good one

I broke the bottle,
here i am, so cool n humble
was with you, but yet i fumbled
i wish for you, even if its just a little..
oh, yes i fumbled, but now am humble
wishing for you again, so life can bubble

IT ALL FALLS

Aint her love for me full like her breast full still
All she got for me is a short syncopated baleful blue
A turgid dark soot to double my misery
My soul is drought struck my heart is shut up my feet is... i can't take no more i believe no more
No jazz nights, no balls ,no kisses no hugs..(a deep sigh)
It alllllll falls. damn
It all falls. damn!!!!!

The Deterred Mind/I'm Deter Minded

Our minds, an enclave of pondering criss-crossings
Engineered to lead astray or aright and to wins
Gents, our minds can betray the resolve that deter us
From actions, callous and of vice origins
Lest we need psychological detergent
To deter and align, our minds...

your unique voice mesmerize my ears

so sweet I could hear the wisper in my dream

cause into my life you came.

AishyWemsy:
I caught him watching me sleep
He smiled and kissed me good morning
We got up prayed, had some chores
We fed each other and prepared for work
We kissed good bye, I slowed down and said HEY HONEY HAVE A SUPER DAY
Love is complicated and yet SO SIMPLE

I watched you sleep 'cause it keeps me at peace

I smiled & kissed gudmorning 'cause your lips are mine 4 keeps

We pray 2geda so God could 4eva make me the nigger you'll ever need

Yes we fed each other and left 4 work 'cause without you i can't breath

Wen you said 'Hey honey, have a super day' i mumbled You gave me one 2day

Yep it's complicated no doubt 'cause what comes across da thought of better half remains a mystery

WarRLaY:

Welcome to the world of the dead,

We were once like u, but now a step ahead,

A world filled with scares of red,

Just so empty and dry as crumbs of bread,

No shower, no toilets or beds,

'Coz we are dead, shake not your head!

Laveda:
Llaykorn I don't think I'm strong enough for this

Plz how much TDB?

doncutie:
Laveda

Let's go then you and I

as the evening spreads against the Sky

through gasping pleasurable Streets

to loves thresholding Beats

moaning away our mind's Lust

to the stampedes of orgasmic Thrust

Cool, but I'm not in

my poems are mostly cultural and abstract...so, any pairing wt an abstract poet will be appreciated....

Tipppy-toed so do I toddle
In the house made wood, no metal lasts

I am the caste-away
Land is no more home, yes I'm wingless

I shimmer between two realities
Existing one foot in both, both feet in none, all foots but one.

Please don't put me on any pedestal
A lot living the fast life but I pedal still
Talking about roses when I can't afford a petal still
How do I survive this 21st century economy with my pen skill being my only skill
Or better still, should I better steal?

Find Prof Ekwuazi's anthology on the rising sun too. You have very similar styles. Good stuff

El Magnifico!. *round of applause*

She said no words
I found no worlds
My tears are her pain
For she had found no gain
My listless sleep punctuated the night
For my motherland has lost her might

Plz how much TDB?

My pen is a magic wand
my ink an alchemist's elixir
I write not for the living
but for those who cease to feel
in the lonely grave you hear
my poetry calling you to live

Vig86:
MY FIRST POEM, DON'T LAUGH ME. Thinking about how moral has encroached on our freedom of thought. Even within you, you are unsafe. Somebody should please teach me how to organize my thought or re-write the 'below'(I feel ashamed to call it poem)


The won't allow me
I am safe here
My thought, very wide
Yes, I am safe here
They won't see it
My moral! I am not safe.

It's well

"Alas..thou shall rise that nairaland is no mans land, Seun poem so lest the rest"

A decade and one; so diverse yet united.
These words bring clarity to the eyes of my soul, that man indeed may be finite yet the cords of affection remains eternal
Evolving like the soft folds of Byssus, spun from the chasm of allure
Like my strength you have been a part of me
My sky blue and my blue sky; my heart and my love.
I am glad we discovered love in tenderness, to relish together for years to come.

You just made me feel bad. No wahala, I will surely learn.

No no no no! You try my guy. Just keep it real and well linked, then you good to go. The last part of your poem threw me off balance..so I couldn't link rightly. That last part could be something like 'For in my thought...I am safe'

I like poems a lot. I'm always learning from poets like you
