Hello everyone,how are things? Well I am on hoilday and yes I am enjoying myself. I wrote this a while ago and when I saw it today it kind of reminded me of someone so here it is.


What is love I ask
Who can give the exact meaning
If you can explian love
Then definitely you can explain True Love
Why is there True in front of Love?
Can love be measure?
Does Love hurt?
Do you know anyone in Love?
Lead me to them
Maybe they can explain
This feeling to me
When does Love stop?
Or does it not?
I am naive
Speak,talk
What excatly
Is this thing
Called Love?

For Ben



Through thick and thin
You have always been there
By my side always
You have being a good friend
And now with a cruel twist of fate
You are about to leave me
It hurts me so
I'm giung to stay with you
Till you breathe your last
Because you deserve much more
More than I can ever give
You are a friend that is
Closer than a brother
A friend I will never
Ever forget.

Wow,May 2015 it's a year already. I hope I will post as regularly as I want and yes I have never ceased writing poems. I have also made friends with great poets and if they let me I will be sharing their poems here too.


Till Tomorrow ...

Pls I need your permission so that I can share some of your poems on my fb page?
Keep up the good work poet and more ink to your pen

For you:

I close the lid of my eye
All I see is a blue beautiful sky
All I see is an angel waving down @ me from a distance
Ready for the war of love
Ready with an army of soldiers
Fighting for a just course
Fighting to win a heart
Looks so far yet seems so close
Just @ the head of the spear
My heart was taken away
I tried to scream
not even a word escaped from my mouth
Oh... My heart is won
my body leaves it abhor
I gasps for breathe
Just at that moment
My eye lids were forced open
Then I saw a bunch of blossom flowers smiling to my face
I was lost in ecstasy
I was hypnotized
How blessed I am
I came forward to seal a kiss
It then all became an illusion
I felt a sharp pain on my chest
I have been spearheaded with love
Oh please save me
let's make a snow white story
Let me be your prince charming
Let the seven mountains and seas be our witnesses
I love you from a distance

Enjoy!

Point Taken

It was a silly deal
We went with it anyway
It was was a test
And we knew what would happen
You with your big words
I with my parables
It was just catastrophe
Waiting to happen
Excommunication
Result
A great schism again
Will there ever be an end to them
Obstinate we remain
No leverage did we give
It's goona be
A long drawn war
We would give it
All we got
Until one of us
Falls down in defeat
Its never the same story twice
Always something new
I swear
We always know how to pick
Our fight
Dynamic Duo
Third wheels 
Are always thrown off  
By the dynamite
Around us
I wish you well
From here
You wish me the same
With a smug
Deep inside
We both know who wins
Point taken
I hope 
It substitute 
The ami
You just lost.

UNWANTED By Johnie Walker (fb.com/poetskoinoni)

Light shone over her face
They felt he was late
For hours her groaning soared
Still they expected a roar

For he wondered what life hold for him
He lingered for a while delaying his coming
But the cords that held them was strong
Not wanting to disappoint on his arrival

He screamed as he stepped out
The relief she felt, he felt deep down
But the faces that peeped into his soul
He knew all was not well even in the relief

Seem like they made him grow up like a plant
Not minding if his plan was theirs
But they left him to see the world for himself
A view, an adventure that made him wish for a return ticket

He tried readjusting but the belt was gone
Thrusted more and more into the world
He felt so different but they still wanted his soul
He knew he was UNWANTED but the flight was gone.

Nice job,I don't get one thing, was he born or aborted?

He was born but wished for death cos the world was so harsh on him but just couldn't commit suicide....Got the inspiration from a sticker I saw on a car that read Suicide not the way out

LETTER TO THE SPIRIT WORLD

What would I do when hope is but a facade
When truth and lies has exchanged place
Who would take the message to my fathers
Who sleeps peacefully in the spirit world

Should I send the prophets, O the Prophet!
But they have exchanged the truth on the altars for money
And prosperity is all they chant on the altar
And trhe poor are left to find God themselves

Should I send the Politicians, O the Politicians!
But they have made seven points agenda for change
But seems they have new seven ways of chaining us
The truthful are witch hunted for they want silence they call it

O money! O money!! Should I send her
For it has been the order of the day but is she the root of evil?
And differences are put aside and unity formed
When its there to share and loot

My Fathers thou has laid the foundation
But the builders tricked us with promises and we fell for it
We now sleep hoping for a Messiah to wake us from our slumber
O my Fathers, the cracks are
now visible and the building collapsing

••••••A MERCURIAL FUTURE••••••••

My strength goes underneath my fears
My joy masked in my tears
What I am unto I have no idea
But further and further still I dare
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Sweet memories lightens up my world
What the future entails frighten up my mind
Debris of customs and traditions sighs mournfully
The fresh scent of the future breathes hopefully
A feeling and euphoria nd despondency sings in union
Up in my ear they spill their opinion
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Just few years back, he salivated about getting married
Just few years after, he wished he wasn't married
Gradually the hairy man has gone bald
His marriage still lies @ the mercy of time
The deed of his better half slay him mercilessly
Joy abound as he watched his kids grow gradually
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Our night shades get younger as time grow old
The mind can't tell what the future holds
Things are going to slide
In all direction they will take their sides
Forgiveness reunite them at the peak of the quarrel
Love tightens them at the end of the tunnel
What the future holds at hand, to the mind lies its mystery
And when it unfolds its joy or misery

thanks alot but inspiration caused it

BROKEN BUT NOT SHATTERED by Khalifa (JW) Like our page www.Facebook.com/poetskoinonia
Is it really true good things don't last forever? Those special relationship we dreamt of and pictured just crumbles I thought ours was meant to be a fairytale But guess I was wrong since you left so badly. Those looks in your eyes when you said forever Now i know you meant never Seems you were just a raw work in progress That preferred to get wasted. I never really realised what it meant to be hurt I wanted you but now I have to deal with the fact that I can't have you Even if I try to fix myself and try to love you again What then happens to the cracks? I am tired of dreaming, I am through with trying Maybe things are brighter on the other side, hope I get to see them. Now I am having my goodbye at the airport of 'it will never be the same' I did let it get broken but don't worry it ain't SHATTERED.

JohnieWalker:

wow.. Okay, hope u dnt mind doing a lil sharing with me, what brought about d inspiration?

Narrow mind

Narrow mind
How narrow can you get
How narrow is your narrow

You hallow in your narrow
A Furher in your own right
So full of self
With naught of worth to share
But narrow views of prejudice

Oh! Shallow mind
Locked in the gallows of your narrowness
Your empty bellows cannot forge

Merry go rounding in your cage
Remaining in the box at your age
Blind to the stream of wisdom within which you wallow

Tears for you my friend
For these are words I cannot swallow

Juggernaut Bn Yusuf

Believe!

image

When black isn't black
And the whiteness of white is gone
When you struggle to find the grey between
Believe

When thunder rumbles
When the clouds are pregnant
And you are out in the cold
Believe

When infirmity befalls
When the body rejects
And all strength is gone
Believe

When the life becomes hard
When cash becomes scarce
And your pockets run dry
Believe

When your heart is ripped apart
When you sit lonely
And tears descend in showers
Believe

When the sun is gone
When darkness befalls
And it seems morning will never come
Believe

When you have toiled
When you have suffered
And everything just doesn't work
Believe

Believe
For after every hardship comes ease
Believe
For a soul is never burdened with weight it can't bear
Believe
For the morning will come even after the darkest night

Am sorry about everything Sorry I cant say what you want to hear If I do am only going to lie And thats not fair to you You deserve to be happy I know this will hurt But its better the truth Than the heartbreak I thought I could pull it off But courage flunked me Whenever we talk and gist And you reminded me of it I tremuble and shake Glad you couldnt see me And now I have come out To redeem myself from this pretense Before its too late Am sorry cause I never loved you.

U are very good! what a mild way to break a guyz heart. lolz

Thanks dear, got inspired while watching a movie.

Happy new year fellow nairalanders. We are blessed beyond measure. No promises but I will try and post. So many things happened but we are alive and thank God. Enjoy the New Year.[color=#770077][/color]

Listening to the silence

Unspoken
Untapped
Unheard

Listen and learn
The words of the world

Pick a date
Feel the wind
Absorb the sensation
Communicate with the air

Run into the showers of blessing
Feel the drops descend on your skin
Feel it soak you
Feel your body respond
Communicate

Open your mouth
Appreciate the taste of food
Smell the scent
And feel the flavour communicate

Hold your baby
Listen to him coo
Learn his words
Speak his language
Communicate

When the night is here
And the blinds are drawn
And you lay in bed
Couple in sync
Reach out and communicate

Listen to the words unspoken
To the silence pregnant with speeches
Listen and learn
Learn to communicate
