It breaks my heart that I don't know where my crew has gone.
I'm believing in d ' god of poem ' that they'll be back soon, at least, somegirl can mend my heart in a second with d aura that comes with her.
Until it's but then, let's keep this place active, thanks.

Frank, I'm still around though I'm busy at school a lot. The course I am doing is highly interesting but also demanding. Most of the time, I'm looking forward to when I will have handed in my dissertation. And in the remaining time, I worry what I will do once the course will have finished!

so muccccccccch sh"cool" information

LIKE RAIN

ATMOSPHERE CHANGES WITH ME
MY CLOUDED HEART CALM
WIND BLOWS ON EVERY SIDE
DROPLETS THEN RAINING LOVE
LIKE WATER FLOWS TO ALL EXTREM
ALL TAUGHT COVER WITH YOUR LOVE
MY LONELY HEART
RELINQUISHLY ABSORBS IT FULLEST
YOUR LOVE GAVE ME ALL THE NUTRIENTS I NEED
AS IT RAINS ALL OVER ME
LIKE RAIN IT KEPT A TRACE
YOU HAVE MOISTEN THE SOIL IN MY HEART
AND HOPE THE SEED OF LOVE IN ME
I KNOW YOUR LOVE WILL KEEP RAINING IN ME
AND FLORISH THE SEED INTO PLANT

YOU TOOK MY HEART AWAY

my night has been sleepless
my day hell

like plant my heart will fade away
everyday i think about your pretty smile
your warm companionship
damned i never knew i can be this lonely
i have no hope without you
i cant make it all alone with you
in my heart I have been waiting for you
please don't let it be too long
before you realize you mean this much to me
and come rescue a dieing heart

Hi Franc, I'm actually not so interested in Chomsky and co. but more in Emenanjo, Bamgbose, Ohiri-Aniche, Egbokhare, Adewole, Himmelmann, Mosel, Ladefoged, Williamson, Austin, Gibbon, Ostler, Levy --- and Chrystel too. How's your MA? Stressful?

I think of you;

_{Hey, Franc, Somegirl!!} 

@everyone
been a while i came to these parts, and i see y'all aint disappointing. much respect to franc, genial and all the beautiful ladies up in here. heres a new poem i wrote for y'all. enjoy!!


                      SHE

she makes my heart feel as light as a butterfly, and as soft as butter.
i can bask all day in the soothing waves of her magnetic affections.
her smile is like the feel of warm sun rays on my bare skin.
warming me on the outside, and calming me on the inside.
i hear the laughter in my voice when i talk nowadays
the fragrance of her perfume still lingers in my nostrils
she fills my chest with pride whenever she trickle down my thoughts.
i never knew how good it felt, to be loved by someone so special.
now i'm feeling like i've got the world in the palm of my hands.
all because she mentioned those words, "I Love You".

Creature

It’s a man’s best friend to some.
It’s part of a family.

It’s a companion
It’s trouble to some.

It’s just a friend.
It’s like a child to some.

It’s like their enemies.
It’s people food to some.

It’s their protection.
It leads the blinds to some.

It’s been used by cops.
It used during therapy to some.

But to everyone it’s a faithful servant.
It’s called a dog to some.

@Genial,
Is this guy back for real?
Welcome back MASTER, it was like eternity for ur student!!!

You are too kind, Franc. It's nice to see that you like my efforts.

Mhm, I changed unis and subjects. Hence, the difference I am noticing between BA and MA might have to do with any of those two. At BA level it was hard to get a 60-69 and almost impossible to get something above 69. Now, almost everybody can get the latter. Our first assignment even had an AVERAGE mark of 72! However, work load has much increased. At my old university, you wrote an essay for the end of term and/or an exam in the third term. Here, you constantly have to hand in assignments during the term, sometimes up to three in a week (while in other weeks you got none)! But it seems the BAs here also have to write graded assignments.

Listen to my heart and find the
melody that completes ur song.
Listen to my heart and find the
rhythm to our dance.
Listen to my heart and find the
peace within.
Listen to my heartAnd i will
quell ur hearts desires

Romeo's Journal

While all secret loves be made public
Let all who have found love of my tribe,
And he who has never lov'd, declare how toxic
But who can ever tame love's growing ferns,
Or hold a trend of thought in her arms?

Their horses raced by as we made love.
We are wild, my pursuers and I
I-- of passion, they-- my demise strove
And I, one step ahead; They, two behind;
Montages and Copulates alike blind.

Peace sleeps where Jules lay.
No chase tonite, no need to run.
How long till I lose her, how long till I pay?

My Cold Hands Her Stay





That forever we together be,

I wish. My mind it plagues uncertainty

For human doth I mistake make

Approximately occasional, I may

Her subtle heart of beauty break

It seems like my cold hands never wer' her stay.


The worst lover, and best sinner

Of sorts I am. But my love and forgiver,

She remains soothing ever bland

Like she waits my return to my old way

That she may smile and gently tap my hand

If her love wanes, could my cold hands be her stay?


That forever we together be,

I wish. But to the restless, his uncertainty.

Death's Encounters

(vol 1: The E.R)

Two minutes to breathe, three to die
"Just let me go" he heaved,
"The pain!, oh the pain" he cried.
And why be it ye long to die?
"I rot in pain, I know not why
But my last breath I ask of thee."
I count not time in hours but seconds
Ye shall come with me in three,

--The little thing by his bed stoped beeping--

Behold thineself oh evil one,
Wipe thine eyes, evil know'th not sympathy
I done no evil deeds than them you done,
I am my Makers purpose, for thy sake
And how doth ye, my con compare
To thine malignant wallow in self pity?
I am that I am, for I choose to be;
What other power hath thee but to life take?

I am my Maker's purpose, who art thou?
A reason for life, my existence create
But thine breath alone of havoc doth reek
And thine eyes are to thine Maker, foul
I expanded my walls and broadened mine gates
As Hell doth with fresh souls seethe

But for thee, my days liken christmas
Bid thine Maker greetings from hell
And thanks for His business.
