Thanks

Thank you. The mind has been preoccupied with seeking for daily bread.

I would like to be the last one.
So on my way I'll leave the lights on.
There will be no darkness in your heart.
This has always been my plan right from the start.
It's a promise I'll like to make.
Hopefully it's something you can take.

I will leave the without the lights.
As I hope it ends our fights.
Transcending us to greater heights.
And make warm the cold nights.
Where words would be of no use.
As I use actions as plug into your fuse.

Put yourself in her shoes.
As you talk about the weight she needs to lose.
As you assume that she enjoys the flappy thigh rhythm and feeling of blues.
Occasioned by the pressure of societal stereotypes.
Filling the minds of the ones she desires that she is not one of their types.[b][/b]

If we worry too much about out heart
Then we wouldn't love so hard
Wondering if its that bad
Or my day is off to a poetic start

I am fine then I am not
Spinning around like a yoyo
Akin to losing my mojo
Still waiting to hit the spot
Echoes of my bizarre mind
I guess its what makes me one of a kind

Breasts!
Such a beauty
Forget! with them I am flirty
You can call me dirty
But how can I not
Mere staring at them could make a man Nut
And when the nipples touch my tongue
It’s a struggle not to end up in a morgue
The one body part that should be in the first aid box
Saving lives from all emotional shocks

So scared of getting old
Yet we long to live long
It comes with wisdom as we were told
Old age is a blessing so says the song

Scared of not being a youth
And the all-round expectations of always bearing the truth
It catches up with us all
No matter the deity we call

It’s a debt
We try to forget
As we strive to forever look younger than we are
Even amid life’s battles and the scar

I am in constant repair
As I carry my burden with just a few to share
The race against time
And the attendant notion that looking older is a crime

It all happens in my head
For every tear I shed
For every move I make
And the opportunities I don’t take
All of me
The part of me you see
The imaginary dance
Which appears to the world that I am in a trance
But its just all in my head
As I plot to forge ahead
Its all in my head

I shed a tear
Thinking it'll take care of my fear
This I repeat every year
Forgetting that everyone has a cross to bear

The paths we take
The hearts we break
The tables we shake
And monsters we make
All because of men and women we half bake

Joeliko:
Nice!

Thanks a lot

Okay I would not talk about Arsenal today. Yes! I would not. I would simply ignore the fact that Arsenal is just a local London club that always falter in Europe.

I said I would not talk about Arsenal today. Yes! I would not. I would simply ignore the fact they just got pummeled yesterday in Europe.

I refuse to talk about Arsenal today. Yes! I would not. I would simply ignore the fact that Arsenal is the most consistent losing team in Europe.

If all the above means I have spoken about Arsenal then I guess my mind and fingers are not in Sync. I did not talk or write about Arsenal.

These are not my real words!

Talk they say is cheap
True promises hard to keep
With each passing day
I get short of words to say
Never had it this good
Your love to my soul is food
You came and wiped off my sorrow
I wish I could love you more as we grow
But I can’t and that why I choose to love you repeatedly
For just two days of my life; today and tomorrow

Thank you

Kiddogarcia:

Brilliant

Scared to live
Happy to die
For in death fear ends
but for now we live
not just taking what life will give
we live to the fullest for we do not know
when or how death will show

Hard to love
Yet they come find me
Like a puzzle
It’s hard to solve
But then it ends, and they flee
This man truly is just himself
Can’t be picked off the shelf

Hard to trust
Yet they seek him
Like love
He’s hard to find
Not because it isn’t there, but they are blind
Not for general consumption
Only meant to give personal satisfaction[/i]

Just another day!
The Optimus!
The Prime of this time!
The Optimus
The grand commander of the autobots!
The Optimus !
The one with the bright thoughts!

Just another day!
This is me
If that is all you see
My title is what many try to be
But when I come through they flee
The Optimus prime
The ichiban deception slayer
Nobody's betrayer

Here we go again
New year new me starts to reign
That's what people keep saying
New year new opportunities and they keep bragging
We kind of feel like there is a reset button
One that automatically changes destinies
One that at 12am on the 1st of 2021
It will be so busy changing lives that we would all become brand new
Balderdash!!!!

Nothing changes
Same ol' 24 hours
You are still in same house and your account balance remains same
No 2021 is being nice to you
Neither was any 2020 mean
Day and Night
Darkness and light
That's all there is
The more you look
The less you see.
New resolutions?
Another topic for another day
For now , let me sit and continue my Orijin
As I have grasped the true essence of my Origin

On my way to the top
I might fall and flop
I might miss my steps
I might be a bit slow
But be rest assured that I would not give up
I would rise like a phoenix
Spready my wings like a mature eagle
Up i shall go
Because i am on my way to the top

Silence!
There comes a time when it is golden
There comes a time when it is stolen
Silence!
Sometimes it does more than spoken words
Sometimes it hides quite a number of flaws
Silence!
A tool for concealment
A means of contentment
Silence!
When we are awashed with emotions with nothing to say
When the heart is heavy, it is used as a tool to pray

Rejomar:

Welcome back scarphase, nice poem.

Didn't know my work is noticed oh. Thanks fam. This Covid period clouded and troubled the mind a bit but I am back

First let me lay it out of my chest
I miss everything about you and not only your breast
You know how I treat you differently from the rest
You are the best
The very one I never had
Oooops my bad!!

If beauty were to be viewed with a microscope
The image will be dope
It will be something we all have never imagined
Inexplicably defined
The image will be you
And I mean what I say because its true

He sees the pain
Feels the strain
Its deeper than he can imagine
It's a battle he can't win
Something he tries not to believe
This causes him to grieve
Sadly he can't show how it all began
Or maybe its when he tried to be everyone's fan
All those times he thought he could please them all
Leading to his fall
If only the world can see
Maybe they would let him be


Tried his best
Hoping to be better than the rest
Hanging in the balance
Emerging from his trance
As the secret tears drops
And crazy thoughts pops
He has lost something he can't replace
No fixing even if Coldplay tries to make a case
Sleepless nights
Useless shinning amour bearing knights
Light should guide him home
But he is Nigerian, at the mercy of PHCN
And even if he tries to call he gets to deal with MTN
Incoherent words of a troubled mind
