THE MATRIMONY, THE BLESSING by Khalifa (JW)...Like my page www.facebook.com/poetskoinonia
My Daughter listen to thy Mother
For same path thou has chosen I took
For marriage I tell you its a rare gift
For it might not be all rosy but it isn't all thorny
For my tears flow freely today
Because my young girl embarks on a journey
My Child listen to my words for Marriage fail not
But people fail when they enter into Marriage
For love, trust and forgiveness are the foundations of marriage
In marriage reaching to each other as friend is the secret
May you look for things to praise, often say, I LOVE YOU
Marriage is a promise that takes a lifetime to fulfill
I pray for fruitfulness for you in all realms
For never allow peoples opinions stray your heart
For contentment they say is great gain
Remember my daughter in marriage, there is a blessing. For few findeth 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.

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

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

From 2nd of July- 2 of August we will be holding a Poetry Convention on nairaland and so feel free to come and get baptised. You can drop yours also for review

Very nice and thanks for writing it here.

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.

Lucentbeauty:
Wow JohnieWalker it would be an honour. As long as I am acknowledged you can go ahead. Thanks.
