In the rain I've decided to take solace from the heavy pour With the rain I can conceal my tears Laughing in the rain but with a bleeding heart Now the veil of pain would be unveiled. With a voice as as loud as the breathing of a fish, With a voice as loud as movement of a cat With a voice as loud as a shadow speaking to a dream As loud as a man without an opinion. ~Beelat 1 Like |

The OP called for 'Short' poems... I came where to read 'short' poems. And what did some folks do? They simply gave us some long, badly written drivels in the name of 'short' poems. Now, that leaves me pondering deep down in my heart how low the standard of education in this country has fallen. If supposedly 'educated' folks do not know what the word 'Short' really means, then there is a huge problem somewhere. |

Do we sing?
Sing that our brothers are dead.
Dead brains now rule us. 'Us', they claimed we would be Be it when they win or not. 'Not about me, it's about you and you. You are just a recycled being. Being in the house has rewired your mind.

We were worlds apart , hearts at distance Distance they say, "a measure of how far" Far enough , not too far for our hearts to connect, to Love Love is blind, but with my eyes I first saw you to love you You are out of my sight, but my heart still reaches out Out of sight is out of mind, still, You will always be mine. 2 Likes |

A Poem: Let Me Worship In Your Altar Time is a commodity Short in supply I can't wait anylonger That's why I want to worship In your sacred altar But where do I start from? The road looks narrow As I journey through the aisle Marching towards the prize That we may mingle and rumble In an atmosphere of bliss Worshiping in harmony You smiled back saying If you really want to worship Put a ring on it That I be yours and you be mine A risk I am willing to take Till death do us part If that's all it takes I will travel all the way Walk through the seven seas For in you, I find me The bone of my bone Put a ring on it That we may workship forever And happily ever after Babatunde Raimi Author/Life Coach/Poet |

LIFE, A BEAUTIFUL LIE; DEATH, A PAINFUL TRUTH Today I saw one, two, three bodies; Bodies that were themselves helpless; Helpless because they arrived in body bags; Bags for those that have taken a great walk... Today, I saw one, two, three bodies; Bodies that took turns for a purification bath; Bath not meant for a special occasion; Occasion for those leading a path beyond... Today, I saw one, two, three bodies; Bodies that could take personal decisions; Decisions of why, how, who, what, when, and whatever; Whatever is now long departed from them... Today, I saw one, two, three bodies; Bodies whom are someone's else family; Family as father, mother, children or other relations; Relations that death have caused their separation... Today, I saw one, two, three bodies; Bodies that may have lived life, a beautiful lie; Lie that made them forget the hereafter; Hereafter, the eternal life after here... Today, I saw one, two, three bodies; Bodies that have tasted death, a painful truth; Truth which is a destination of every soul; Soul which returns finally to its creator, so prepare it...

Thank you mom ........................................ Since the day I was small Till the day I became tall Since I began understanding things Till the day I got my own wings Your love has never fallen short You have been my only support I want to hold you tight and hug you I just want to say thank you. The bond between a mother and a son is a special one It remains unchanged by time or distance. It is the purest love, unconditional and true. It is understanding of any situation and forgiving of any mistake. 1 Like |

DEPRESSION. I cry my silent tears. When I'm alone loneliness surrounds me; When I'm with others i feel rejected and dejected. A light in the sky did i see. An agent of negativities whispering into my heart and my ears, Saying '' Your colleagues are having nice time, while you're in decline'' I'm all alone in the thoughts of despair. Thoughts that are deafening to my ears. Thoughts that frightens me; Who will guide me out of this depression of despair? ©El-kanemi Abøø Hind |

Hey, Mumis of our tatas We have danced and shouted like the fluters. Showing the might of our papas Yet no one to cheer us like you did in the days of our glory. The streets are as lonely as a desert. We are drunk like the tappers Denied of our lovers, the thirst like one in a journey to the hinters. Oh see how our feelings litter, like the diary of a poor man. Please be fast and be gone, dear tradition so that soon we shall return to the bossom of Mamas. 1 Like |

Let the battle lines be drawn From dusk to dawn, Let the Warriors hold on to their war horses While the men of war March around the cities, Every man with his own sword every warrior with his armor , You don't run when the battle of life stares you in the face , This battle is a fight of faith. Fight the good fight of faith. 1 Like |

cupidora: Those guys have really messed up the fun for me. I was initially looking forward to being thrilled by the NL literati. The crême of NL penmanship but the hoi polloi came and derailed everything completely. Accept my apologies. At least, on their behalf. They really goofed big time due to their inability to read and comprehend fully. Yours was indeed a noble idea. Trust me. 1 Like |
