saintsam: So far have not seen a ladies poem.

Good joke, man.

saintsam:

It seems guys are more poetic than babes.So far have not seen a ladies poem.But for the guys,I have notice that all your poems are love,love,love.Please lets try somethn else.like this poem about africa.check it out ya all.

I beg to disagree with you, saintsam. In case you haven't noticed, somegirl, ChiluvGod and Nilla are all babes. And they have all put up poems.

And there are just a few poems here on love - I can only recollect one (perhaps you can show me the others?).

Your poems are a bit long. Perhaps you'd like to shorten them a bit? That might make them easier to read. I make these submissions with all due respect to your person.

A BLUE STAR IN UR EYE

On the wings of an eagle,
My love for you flies.
Soaring higher and higher,
And touching the skies.

I reached up above,
And pulled a star from the sky.
To place it within,
Your precious minds eye.

To dwell there forever,
As my love for you.
On the wings of our love,
Enduring and true.

I honor you my darling,
With all that I am.
Please darling please,
Will you be my man?

There are so many things,
My heart wants to say.
I love you sweetheart,
There is no other way

I call this one,THE GIFT OF LOVE.

My gift to you is my love
Given from deep within my heart
It is the best I have to offer
And its yours until this earth we depart

You have captured a part of me
A part so very fragile that I am in fear
For it is my heart I have lost
To you my love, the one I hold most dear

I chose to love you now
With all that I have and all that I am
And I pray that God follows us
To guide our steps as we cross this land

For it is with His blessings
We will live most at peace with each other
For He is the reason after all
We found one another , I Love You!

Mr Genial we disagree to agree,maybe i did not come across a ladies poem.when I write poems,I dont have the desire of writing it 2 long,but the words  just flow,who am I mere mortal to stop it.it is from within.

As this thread keeps getting longer and longer, I am overwhelmed and who says Nigerians don't love poetry?

Seun should collect the best poems posted on Nairaland and publish Nairaland Anthology of The Best Poems.

i can't see the stars anymore in pose
to remind me of the sparklin moments
shared in mutual ecstasy
now wid a big width of apathy
seems they are all aware of the tension
that tends to seize the love we once shared in relaxation

i can't think of the actual thing that needs a trace
all i know is that things went out of place
you avoid me like plague
conversation become vague
and the air between us is swayed
like the bond has been cut wid a wedged blade

i can't seem to get your attention for once
not with the look u now wear on your face
like it has ever been part of you
you hurt me, u hurt yourself too
though i don't knw who is more hurt really
but i guess its me

saintsam:


AFRICA COME BACK





Come Back, I've heard the surge of your drums
Come Back, my heart beats lasciviously

'Africa come back'

Come Back, I've raised my face out from the dust
Come Back, I've peeled off the pellicle of sorrow from my eyes
Come Back, I've snatched away my arms from the grip of pain
Come Back, I've wrenched apart the hasp of gloom

'Africa come back'

The shackle's clasps have made the mace too much to bear
So I've fashioned a mould by ripping the strap round my neck

'Africa come back'

The bear's death-eyes blaze in every lair
Enemy blood has reddened the negritude of night

'Africa come back'

The ground is pirouetting with me Africa
Rivers throbbing to the rhythm pouring out of the woods
I am Africa, your stature mirrors mine
I am you, my gait is the gait of your lions

'Africa come back'
Come stride like your lions
'Africa come back'




Am so proud of my colour.Nnilla,I would want to see your poem.

Saintsam,
i like this poem. your other poem "Don't cry for me africa" i dont really fancy, cos i cannot really comprehend it.

I have just one poem and its on one of these pages.

*yawns*_{nilla this isnt at you}

macalurs:

*yawns*_{nilla this isnt at you}

dennylove, your two poems "the gift of love" and "a blue star in ur eye" are really nice, especially "a blue star in ur eye".

kkutecolo,
nice poem. does it have a name?

THANKS NILLA, i don't know if you will like this, if you do then is for YOU,
You changed my world with a blink of an eye
That is something that I can not deny
You put my soul from worst to best
That is why I treasure you my dearest Marites

You just don't know what you have done for me
You even pushed me to the best that I can be
You really are an angel sent from above
To take care of me and shower with love

When I'm with you I will not cry even a single a tear
And your touch have chased away all of my fear
You have given me a life that I could live worthwhile
It is even better everytime you smile

It so magical those things you've made
To bring back my faith that almost fade
Now my life is a dream come true
It all began when I was loved by you

Now I have found what I am looking for
It's you and your love and nothing more
Co'z you have given me this feeling of contentment
In my life something I've never felt

I wish I could talk 'til the end of day
But now I'm running out of things to say
So I'll end by the line you already know
"I LOVE YOU" more than what I could show

From ''DENNYLOVE''

THIS SHORT ONE TO A FRIEND, QUESS WHO? RADIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As the sun rises in the East
So the breaking dawn of my love begins
As the sun sets in the West
I am overwhelmed with a burning desire
A desire locked down deep inside
One that cannot be concealed anymore

I long for one sweet kiss to quench my thirst
I long for one tender touch that will last a lifetime

At the end of it all you are my deepest desire!

RADDY-BABE,you VIBRATE my heart with EMOTIONAL rythms.

You don't know if i would like it? I absolutely love it.
Thankx, that was really sweet of you.

If everyone wrote poems, or appreaciated them, i think the world would be a better place.

Radiant where you dey ohhh!!!!!

Dennylove, once again another very nice poem from you.

[center]'Hope'

When she came forth,
A tiny alluring creature among mortals,
The room held it's breath,
A melodious soprano filled the air,
The cry of her,
The beginning of a journey through earth,
that very herculean task,
And without the love a mother.

She grew like no other,
Peaceful like she breathlessly laid after birth,
Beautiful as the moon in a dark sky,
A goddess of admiration christened Nigeria,
The very first among its kind.

Taught by a missionary,
Fathered by a white foster-parent,
' He couldn't father the witch who took her mother's life ',
Guided by fate through an angel,
A father she never had,
Her love but lost one,
Lost after he gave out in marriage,
On a sunny rainy 1st of October in 1960,
At a church called Lagos.

A little after then,
It's been neglect, rapes, batterings, poverty , ,
A sad story,
A tale that has just began,
A 46 year old trek,
A tedious horrific walk with her 36 children,
Leading through a dark tunnel,
Anything to gain happiness,
[/center]

.

I just can't enough of this joint.
Hmm, this is just the place to be.
Genial, I love the twist u've added, the score of poems I mean.
Welcome Bhola, don't let mama(Nilla) down.
Let's make Seun   !
I'll really appreciate comments on ' Hope'.

@somegirl,
I'm working on something for u.

@mac,
The beef thing was just my way of waking u out of ur slumber,
U write real good n I gat ur back anytime bro.

@Nilla,
How said u were not creative,
Ur peice is THICK with flows.
Keep holding it down ma.

@JJc,
This is the room,
Don't mess it up,
So far, u've been tight.
Just one rule: One Love.

nice poems y'all, i'm luvin this thread! here's a piece i wrote a while back. just thot i'll post it here and see what y'all think of it, hola!

[center]"The angel i love"[/center ]

she's as graceful as a doe in the wild beauty of the forest
exotic n mild, dainty limbs and bewitching smile
her eyes dance in the light anytime i'm around her
a kiss from her lips is like drinking from the fountain of life
beautiful daughter of eve, ripe and slender like a papaya tree
only a few, know what strenght lies beneath that tender skin
just a fleeting glance, n a thousand words pass btw our eyes
so swift n perceptive, she reasons along with my mind
knows how to turn me on, even when i'm down and moody
whispers "i luv u" in my ear and holds me tight to her body
she's struck me deep in the heart, and now our souls are entwined
our love for each other is sweeter than the sweetest of wine
she turned my life around, she chased away all my fears
she's always there to support me and shower much love n care
she means the whole world to me, for her i lay down my all
everything that i am, for the angel i love!

Hiya franc. Now we talking. nice nice nice. Like the ones in bold especially.

hola2ng,
welcome to the thread.
Nice poem.
But question: whose love did you find?

hola2ng:

Love my Skin

The browness of my skin
a little deep feeling within
Some days i feel
ignorance is not innocence but sin

If my heart beats fast
within your love embrace
I'd never give in
to the supression of my race

The wind as it blows
i watch leaves fall on my toes
silently without any sound
underneath those it was your love i found

In life we admire often
we desire to be lifted higher
happy on the outside & sad deep within
oh God have mercy -why so much suffering.

My skin my colour -My life My dream
I love the blueness of the sky
I love the whiteness of the clouds
I love the greeness of the grass
I love the browness of my skin

I just can't enough of this joint.
Hmm, this is just the place to be.

It truly is  

Welcome Bhola, don't let mama(Nilla) down.

pikin!!, who are you calling mama.    
lol  

@Nilla,
How said u were not creative,
your peice is THICK with flows.
Keep holding it down ma.

Welcome to the thread also.

hey nilla,tnz for reminding me. the title is A TOUCH TO THE DARK
tnx 4 appreciating it

your welcome,
its fitting too.

Franc and Mac you started this. . .

A tribute to all poets on this thread.


TASTE OF POETRY


Remembering how dull life past was
Only to discover the beauty of poetry
Truly a wondrous delight

Sometimes it leaves my eyes with tears
Sometimes it leaves my lips with a smile
Sometimes it even leaves me ecstatic
But every time my day is refreshed
As I begin to look at things with an artists eye

So I say thanks to all
For adding something good in my life
You have given me a taste of poetry
And now I can’t live without it.

my mother taught me how to show APPRECIATION in evry little thing,you ''ve just did it,
                                  NILLA, you are the B-O-M-B

NILLA, You are a GOLD in the midst of SILVER.

awwwww.

thanxxxxx

hi everyone i notice on this thread most of u guys are writing poems on

-who u love
-what u feel when u are in love
-the person u r in love with
-how much love is inside
-and how much u are seeking love

but no-one has describe wat true love is,no one has defined it,
i tried puting something together and i hope u guys wuld like it,

[center]Love Defined
What is love, but an emotion,
So strong and so pure,
That nurtured and shared with another
All tests,all trials it will endure?

What is love, but a force
To bring the mighty low,
With the power to shame the mountains
And pause time's ceaseless flow?

What is love, but a triumph,
A glorious goal attained,
The union of two lives, two souls,two bodies
A bond GOD have ordained.

What is love, but a champion,
To cast the tyrant from his throne,
To fill our heart with everlasting joy,
And raise the flag of truth and peace.

And what is love, but forever,
Eternal and sincere,
A fire that through wax and wane,
Will outlive life�s limited years.

So I'll tell it to the whole world
In all places high and low,
That love for you is my reason for reasons,
And it will never break or bow,

My defintion of love[/center]

iseg007,

welcome to the thread.

your "Love Defined" is a wonderful. For me its like a breath of fresh air.
