Okay, so for the first time since the day I signed up to NL, I decided to check out this section "Poem Ish", and just as I saw this thread by you(princesa) I had the feeling its something different. Am not a poet, never have been and probably never would be, but I don't think I have to be one to be able to put my thoughts and feeling into writing, after all, I think that's what makes me a writer, or so I'll like to believe. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * So there I lay On my queen sized bed every morning Thinking about what would have happened If I had not started this journey Would I need to wake up every morning feeling this way? Or would I have forgotten that sorrowful day? So there I lay On the floor of the battle field Bleeding so furiously, yet death refuses to take me I really don't remember signing up for this But its too late and all I can think of is our first french kiss. So there I lay On the desk in my office Wondering what next am going to do with my life All I got after my years of working is just an enveloped letter Telling me I should leave and search for somewhere better So "HERE" I lay Standing with my chest up high I'm here to stay and not just passing by If life is going to keep on stabbing me with a knife, Then I guess the battle line has just been drawn. My name is not important, just know I'm going to survive. PS: About this poem. I woke up not feeling too good and I really have no idea why, but... I feel out of place. So I just closed my eyes and started writing this, it took me about 5-10 minutes to pen it down, for some strange reasons, the words just flowed. 2 Likes |

@chistar: yeah, you don't have to be a poet to write a poem. Heck! you don't even have to be a writer to write a poem. Poem for me, should flow from the deep recess of our emotions. This emotions become the pen to write, while our knowledge of whatever language we want to use to express it, becomes our paper. So you need ur emotions and language to flow out with your poem making it become a piece of cake. And for the records, your poem is nice, very deep, strong and emotional, just the way i like. So Let me officialy welcome you to my poem haven. @oma4u yes, i write from the deepest part of my heart and not necessarily when am hurt or sad, but basically how i feel at that moment, poem to me has never been about struggling because As always, am a fan of 'as the spirit leads' whenever. You're officialy welcomed to my poem haven too. @jodekss indeed, the world is like the tiny ball silly kids toss about, someday its good, another day bad, and yet another day wonderful. I guess that's why its survived all through ages even as men come and go... We sure need the grace of God in everything. Thanks for dropping by |

princesa: @chistar:@princesa, I am glad you got my point right... I am really glad, the world is simply of positives and negatives and only nothing could change dat but da grace of God would allow us to survive the sorrow herein... Even, Jesus wept, Anonbi S.A.W went through hell... Thanks... @chistar, really, penning in general has to do with emotion and imaginary abilities. Your poem sound so sad and laced with wearisome experiences but da tail end tell the story of how mean you are to make it in life inspite... Much love... |

[b]I parodied the ass of Bard avon/SHAKESPEARE... Not funny really, it's appalling and so dangerous to parody the works of the god-fathers or to see your work imatated with utter derision but, try and scan through... ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE- WILLIAMS SHAKESPEARE... All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms. Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lined, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slippered pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. MY PARODY- JODEKSS GLOATKENF... Is the world really a stage? Weren't you there when my wife walked me out of my life? When we were wallowing in gorgeous gold and manifold money; she called it a lasting love Whenever those words walk out of her mouth, it called from, more love The man just beside our former behinds is now my wife's man You see... When things were sore for that son of a bitch, I came in I came in incognito and helped him out with a beauteous inn He thanked me on his treacherous kneels with a goatish grin I thought I was doing Good but see him plucking out my heart And fed my own wife with it Need I reject regret? The world is wide Wild Bad beyond calling him worst. Even on serious stages That Douglas kicked the butts of Mike Tyson Jubilation heralded and lingered to all the galaxies Hey! The freak had fallen Oh! KO guru had fallen Ah! Dynamite kid had fallen But they hugely hug each other Though I saw that with my single ear That's the spirit but that is just within the rings We fight, we hate, we kill, we pinch, we... And none cares in the end The world is bigger than a stage And even if she kills my neighbour and come back to my bank The world is not still a stage Wherever blood used to run, the place is a big cage.[/b] |

Will my hate burn down my heart? This feeling of disgust i have for my wife Why did I scorn her before my journey? Forgiveness died few minutes prior to my departure Yes I saw its demise, I even wrote a 'goodbye poem' And reminisced that first 'following' on twitter Which thus led to the shared vowed on sacred alter What went wrong? What actually went wrong? Who said hearts were broken? it never did Each of us just got freed like birds in a cage While in this 'sardined' mobile on a 'one chance' leap to Redemption I vividly recall the smile behind the tears Was it fear, love, heartache or pretense? I love like the Indians, but my black skin knows no patience **************** What if my burdens weighs more than lead And so if my sins shares same scale Will God take Gabriel knowing I erred without intent? Or will this ride be my last? |

Justiceenams: . FEARNice one big bro. The lineations are so imaginery, pictursque and or visionary. It's so nice to break off the chrysalis and explore and detect one's purpose of existence in titch time we have to spend in this ephemeral world... Everyone has a reason for being alive. It's our duties to find the reason(s) and pursue 'em with our all god-wise for the benefit of all and oneself. |

Stranded on the road again With a pack of cigarette and jar of wine And a snoozed up box and a leaked tank In a cold-desert known as end of the world My heart scampers for a soul for help With furriest echoes breaking the wind's voice And the soring sky eclipsing the benumbed night Stranded on the road like before With a dead battery and a panicked gaze - I watched my lazy jalopy as it relaxes by the road side Clad in smokes and grimes down to top Its tyres are worn-out like my childhood toothbrush And its eyes are cracked and broken Stranded on the road Locked deep in superficial meditation While I smoke away and get drunk Passersby honk and zoomed by Veering left to right from a potential casualty Me! Whose pity will I win for a ride to my love? I'm by the side waiting for sleep to possess me Nay to the bed of death in whose comfort I might find myself |

AN AD-LIB ENVISAGED PIECE INTENDED AS A SONNET BUT NO... So in the stars down there in the galaxies There were these beings grotesque beyond naming Their kinky king kicked the bucket and ran away The next toes in the parochial got took out; hidden Some power-mongers, by The valiant visages were rendered free in incarceration. But the words of the aged shan't work past Without making an impact O I respect you God of retribution! The left-bys' wept weekly on the pins where they were placed Since heavens were closer to thunder thunder came down louder Stretched the unfit government into shreds Castigated them in denude And placed the dead king's son as their next king kong. |

GOOD MOURNING Rising to the pain that brings smile to the face The sun like a waiter usher`s me to a new day My legs hastingly wants to move without delay With warm water i show love to my body`s face As i`ve been told,the owner of the world dwell above So white like a dove even whiter than snow We pray to him and mercy he has always shown "UNQUESTIONABLE GOD" 1 of his name we know Those we love God calls To be seen the day he wants Smile departs the dead jaw For they know they left us no joy Night falls on us morning wakes us to mourn He that own calleth whom he wants Heart heavy with thaught`s, lightened with love Cause God is love Love is jealous Never did i have the chance to tell his soul bye But i told the body good bye With this i consel myself as i live without him by my side God love us all and he never lies.

SONNET 13 To my naïve ears the wise to me prove With their tongues, (all of truth they say have known), To restrain passion in affairs of love. 'He who act thus', quoth they, 'controls and owns The treasured steering of relationship, And who more does it befit to own such Than the dominant male in a courtship.' Governing my reasoning has this done so much; Then on this my path affixed you came across And all these reasoning jettisoned have I, Unleashing all of love's own passion; thus, This ship in your hands the steering doth lie, As words of the wise have I laid to rest Hearkening to that voice beating in my chest. |

EROS' TRAIL Stripped garments, all is bared Naked curves, moist depth, rigid length- Bodily secrets bare Tingled touches begets befuddled senses Hidden routes explored, nothing spared Facial skin worn in pleasure creases Penetrated fortresses; aroused warfare Cramps, slams and occasional spanks Engraved nail marks on unprotected Pleasure groans and prolonged moans Culminating in forced out floods Suddenly, all is still in silent heaves Heated lovers, warm bloods Bed furniture, the lone casualty 1 Like |
