kaylonda:

A VERY RANDOM POEM(I think)


Set aside your heavy burdens,
For just beyond is the land of no worries.

I really like d way u play with words, u do it with lots of meaning attached. Writing provides that avenue for a lot of us to set aside our heavy burdens, 'For just beyond is the land of no worries.' Bravo!!!

kaylonda:

@Omoosedabi and Sir George, keep the fire burning,

God, Another Letter to You!

In the midst of all I've been involved,
Discontent stands out!
In all I've been deprived,
Joy smiles from such distance.
All I've lost are all I've done,
Nothing I've lost is undone;
An unending desire called wish!

In all I'd wish I'd become,
Hope revolves around want.
In all I've become,
Humanity's reflection glows.
All I want are those I'm not!
Nothing defies hunger like death,
That end that means end!

In all I've lost,
Lord, restore me one.
In all I've become,
Take away maturity;
Experience  destroys adulthood,
Nothing except that sense of childhood,
All I've lost is all I've become.

@Cbase, hmm, wake up o, still want to read of ur admiration!!!

Bobi Joe:

                                   LONELINESS

                           I am sinking, sinking into quicksand
                     In the depths of lonely land
              With frightened, terrified eyes I look around
                              But there is no one to be found
                                    I am scared, at my wits end
                                          As far as I can see, no friend
                    The more I try to pull myself up free
               The more it sucks me in chest deep
              But wait, I see faces like a glimmer of hope
                                           Coming to my aid like a saving rope
                                   I hold on, clinging to it for my dear life
                           But it disappears cutting my heart like a knife
                       I am disappointed at them I begin to say
                                         But my mouth is filled with the sands of dismay
                                            Realization strikes me I’m all alone
                                                      No one by me, on my own
                  I choke on a sob feeling helpless
      As the last grains of sand burn my eyes and I am buried in loneliness

You have us like no other, U can't be lonely, can u now?
Nice one, love ur style

Omoosedabi:

Thank God the great poet Franc is back on nairaland, hope you'll be posting some of your philosophical, awe-inspiring piece? once again, i say welcome, and kudos to you all.

I'll try to be available, What have you been working on? We could get a lot better by sharing, Posting a piece soon!

The Stare

In her black’s beauty,
Blank lay guilty…
In a poet’s mind,
Words became kind.

In her beam,
She’s more than she seem,
In words’ race,
She’s more than her face.

Some eyes see blank,
Converse of what her mind’s drank…
Courage knows no bound,
More than what’s found.

Darkness rages like a tempest,
She goes deep, deeper and deepest;
The mind seeks more,
With lots of words to pore.

From Father comes hope,
Strength to cope…
The future, her gallant stare,
Until darkness knows dare!

Very impressive, Gud to know ppl r still doin der thing around here. B bck somday,

@firestar, track me on facebook : Egu Attah francis
@u all, dat's where I've moved.

@ Firestar
Dat's y I got back. Never had so much fun writing as I did when this room was in full swing. Looking round the site for Nilla, Mac, Genial and Somegirl. If u find them b4 I do, tell them they're desperately WANTED. Let's get it rolling b4 they get back; they really would be proud we did. Members and guests, could u drop ur joint on 'Love'? We just got into the season, let it flow.

firestar:

RISE AND FALL



Every twilight, A Rise. A Fall.

Every moon, She Rise to its Call.


Every season, It Springs to Fall.

Every Age Rises, in time to teach Shoots its Roots- Past Falls.

KRYPTONITE


Green kills,
Blue strips,
Red possesses no barriers,
And Black splits.

Welcome FIRESTAR, wat a combination! Fire and star can't go unnoticed. Nice lines. Sorry, VERY NICE lines.

[center]'Choice'
A very cold night,
Words play their game,
Emotions make me write,
My thoughts are of her name,
Since she wont be my might,
And alluring dame.

These lines are scars,
Sweet marks of choice,
My many thoughtful minutes and hours,
So loveful a poise,
Can bring her the stars,
For my world is nothing but her voice.[/center]

blackgee:


@ Franc1982

You write nice lines, sure. Is sun the only source of inspiration? C'mon, this is unoriginal. Sorry to say this: I have a high taste of poetry hence i qualified your lines average because they're prosaic, i mean the imagery isn't striking. That's me. Just being me!

Thanks GEE, it was a selected title for all room members. However, I think I'm obsessed with the sun. How can I get better, please?

Geniall:

How are you Franc? Been a long time!

Hey!!! More like eternity u mean? Could we rekindle the joint? Lots of freshmen been here, we could teach them the tools of the joint. LOL. Nilla, Somegirl, Macalurs, u and I could make a whole lot of difference u know. Dare me with a joint and u'll see them judges and others around again!

[center]*'Chiamaka'

I know you're fair,
But am not a seer.
You define ease,
The scent of peace.
You leave me no choice,
Just poetry and this poise.
You'll make my memories,
Flout pride and heart's theories;
A thought in mind,
One of a kind.
Beauty so strong for lines,
A lot stronger than wines.

* A dedication to a beautiful friend.[/center]

[center]' EMOTIONS '

IF I ASK YOUR EYES CLOSED MISTRESS,
I SEEK NOTHING CLOSE TO YOUR DRESS,
A STRONGER FEELING THAN WORDS,
US OUT OF OUR HEADS,
A SENSATION LIKE ICE,
ONLY WHEN I CLOSE YOUR EYES.[/center]

Will soon be back, until then however, impressive is the word!
777?
Nice lines.

what do i say now?

still remember a poetic god called franc?
is anyone in his rank?
just checking!

U make me sick. Who posted it there? If u know how to read, u'll c it's me. What's ur stress. I don't do such, if I do, what will I benefit? I belong to other sites and post my poems there. Next time u see my works, just take time out to check if truelypoetic007, Francis Attah Egu, myhomeis, 4ran6, or Achonu make up the addy! Careful, this is defamation, just in case u don't know.

somegirl:

Franc, have you written a new poem? Please, do share!

many of them. good to know u still come in once in a while. I'll do that later.

denex:

Look, it is high time you people start scrutinizing poems before you hail them. People cannot continue to copy poems from elsewhere and dump them here yet true artists'll be showering praises on them.

how do u mean? u could help us catch those thieves. lets have the site address n we'll send the out.

Can we do a revival?
Where has everyone gone to?
Can wait toi get people reading this piece again!
