No Love




There’s no passion in your eyes, no fire to justify the folly of my feelings

There’s no warmth in your body, no comfort absorbed when I hold you close

There’s no smile on your lips, no motivation to ply this vague journey called “Romance”

There’s no wonder in your thoughts, no surprises to keep the suspense alive

There’s no magic in your touch, no reaction to change my life status

There’s no fragrance from your skin, no reason to come close to you again

There’s no melody in your voice, no cause to break this ghastly silence

There’s no beauty in you, no reason to look your way when boredom clinches my soul

There’s no rhythm in your gait, no reason to walk beside you

There’s no spark in your kiss, no stimulus to bring on the goose bumps

There's no joy in your presence, no fulfillment in your appearance

There’s no absence in your absence, perfection was missing when you came in

In the end I realize there’s no love for you

Somehow



Somehow I can't seem to hear you but there's communication.

Somehow my mind is filled with memories accompanied by fantasies.

Somehow my being is propelled to activity by the zest of love's reality.

Somehow my purpose for being a part of nature is larger than life.

Somehow, somewhere exists the reason that makes all my reasons reasonable.

Somehow you are the ONE.

Bruises

Itz the sight of my fulfillment
Pivot to my joy
The demise of my trepidation
Courage to change the world
Itz the reason I sing in the shower
I’ve found my place on the sphere

Slowly my joy dwindles
I feel dry and dead as a leaf
Like your ears, I’m a part of you
But you have no sight of me
Agony sips my strength
Draining the life off my feisty self

My brain is growing cold
With thoughts of you in another’s arm
I’m just a passerby
Slowly descending the height of my debacle
I’ve seen diversity in life
But my grief was conceived in joy’s womb
As I wait and watch, hoping and wishing
That my secrets are whispered to your heart
“I’ve always been here”
And there’s time no longer
In the end you’ll know
That you had my heart
But it might just become a memory

Then your tears will know no bounds
And I’ll be fulfilling my destiny,
Charting life’s course.

Fear is your heart's keep


Tears are dropping
Like candle wax melting
Evil is lurking outside the door
I hear the door rattle
The wind shivers as the night air
whistles
Blowing fear deep in your marrow
There is no reason for courage
For no mortal can stand the fright
Sit waiting, watching, counting the
seconds
To your delightful debacle
A terror long waited
Slowly sipping existence
This is nothing but the forerunner
For your true demise waits to take you
in slumber
Your screams are loud as a whisper
You slowly drown in a pool of
trepidation
You’re blessed with the curse of death
As the clock strikes midnight
You gasp for life
But your destiny is fulfilling
“knock knock”, it’s the end at your door
Slowly your life is drained
To an everlasting slumber
As the world whispers “adios”

Blurry Vision



Usually I would make my words rhyme
But honestly there's no time
The one who used to light my fire
Has tagged my being "Beautiful Liar"
In this case, I'm the accused
To a filthy rag reduced
Who exercises affection
For the lost souls of attraction
My life became a blunder
A feat that made me wonder
How I could throw in the garbage
The sunshine that locked me in love's cage
But this is what you get
When you remember to forget
That you're dealing with a girl's heart
Excruciating like the sting from a fiery dart
And I can't remember
What happened in September
Now I'm far away
Living life day my day
Everything I said was right
But you chose to take flight
This is the part where I stand aside
To watch you and let events slide
Heartache is never my mission
But you're struck by "Blurry Vision"

Romantic Slaughter

You've been my reason
For joy and laughter
The reason to smile
And life's new chapter
The cause to be loved
And be happy ever after
To express affection
No matter the weather
By your side
I feel life getting better.
In your arms
the world I can conquer
You stuck close
just like a brother
And I wanted nothing
To put us asunder
We weren't dating
But were birds of a feather

My actions showed
that I loved no other
I guess you felt it
coz you loved me better
But in the end
You weren't my lover.

Out of the blues
came another
Who's bent
on keeping you closer
I couldn't envy
a fellow brother
Just trying
to satisfy his hunger
And break a bond
that was getting stronger.
There's a sharp pain
in my bladder
As I watch
another brother
Slowly appear
to take my corner
Now I'm thinking
even in slumber
My favorite meal
cannot cure my hunger
My body is here
but my soul is yonder
Lost in trance
coz life is a blunder
You were my reason
For joy and laughter
But now
I can only wonder
How this love
could end in the gutter
Once again
I've become a hunter
Searching for love
and a new chapter
As I lay on my bed
sipping water
I mourn my death
by ROMANTIC SLAUGHTER.

Today is my B'day

Gloomy lights, Soothing Darkness

I recall my voyage through life
In a world brimming with strife
As I shuttle from the epoch of childhood
To this phase of adulthood
For the day's death
Is the night's birth

Walking through this valley of darkness
My mind sipping the sadness
This long awaited moment of my being
Demanding the majestic walk of a king
Has left me wishing to see life through a child's eyes
And flee from mankind's lies

I behold the light
But there is comfort in the darkness
The gift of sight
Has brought me nothing but madness
I am in love with this ignorance
To foolishly fulfil my youthful exuberance

Without fear of consequence
Or the constant obtrusion of my conscience
Striving to give my existence a definition
Taking strides with determination
Fulfilling imagination's desire
Poetry bringing words to inspire

I crave to return to childhood
When life felt extremely good
With nothing to worry about
And the world gave you no doubt
But now I'm a man
I need to do the things I can

I cannot but dream of my Gloomy lights and Soothing darkness

My Destiny

Looking in the mirror,
Strange man looking back
Eyes filled with dreams,
Mind set to achieve greatness.
Can't identify the path of destiny
What does fate hold for me?


My philosophical nature bends me to life's wil
I've been here all my life but this place looks strange
I don't understand the rules governing the biosphere
The ever flowing blood in my veins
The free breath of air.
I know the destination but am alien to the path


There are many parts of me that remain a mystery
These eyes are hungry for adventure
My soul burns with desire
To be the greatest of my kind,
An empire under my control.


They all said it's not easy
My young heart is unaware of nature's danger
I will be what I'm destined to be.
Lord, I ask that you lead me in the path of my destiny
So I can familiarize with this stranger in the mirror.

College Controversy

I recall my days of labour
As I toiled in dark hours
When spirits roam the earth
And mortals shuttle to dreamland.
The candle wax melted
And the lamp's oil dried
In a bid to acquiring college space,
The desire for discovery of my life's purpose
Felt the ache as I ascended every step.
Filled with hope
of fulfillment at the journey's end
I've reached the top
I levitate to the highest height
What do I feel? ...........................................NOTHING
I was unburdened and given a greater burden
The earth applauded my arrival
Into a world of drama,
A battlefield
Where soldiers defended only self
It's a fierce academic war, I must win
It's the University.

Night worker


Sauntering through the streets
In dark corners
Waiting for redemption
Of sexual gratification
Every passer by looks like a client
They answer the call that was never made

Seeking human prey
Towing the sons of men into the fiery kingdom
Making sinners of men
For hell is never crowded

Giving their virtue for riches
The root of every evil known to humanity
At daylight, she's your next door good girl
In hours of darkness, the filthiest nubile creature

The treasure reserved for only one
Has become the national cake
No one therefore can claim the patent right
Of this wonder of nature

On the duty post, when Adam's breed lay asleep
Working in darkness,
A time reserved for the action of spiritual forces,
When the men of the underworld operate
And all despicable evil is executed

They are slaves of the fiend
Only the almighty can save his people from doom

Iniquity

Clad in the apparel of iniquity
Sin’s firm grip of my soul
Like a convicted felon
Clenched by the paws of melancholy

The dogged haul to the dark side
Pulling my mind
Magnetism almost beyond resistance
Blinding me to the ills of sin

Flesh gratifying exercise
Pleasure derived for a moment
Executed in an eye’s twinkle
Dissolves with enduring sorrow

Forsaken with guilt
Sorrow of great depth
Immaculate filth
Flowing, filling up my system

The almighty sits and watches
The fraternity with the enemy
His loving arms are spread open
To accept the lost sheep

Back at his feet
Accepted once again into the family
The light has shone again
I have found solace in righteousness

I miss you

As we glide through various phases
Of this seemingly endless tour called life
Our being stares challenges in the eyes
We become stronger with every hurdle we overcome
We age with every second that strikes
The oscillatory nature of humanity
Feeds us from the menu of boredom
Making life a dreary ride
But there are moments worth recalling
Moments spent in your presence
Where life’s meaning is but a dream
Every second is cherished to infinity
The senseless nothings that made me beam a smile
Your vivacity deflowering my gloomy lips

When I glance across my room
My shadow is my only company
Why am I tormented by visions of you?
Why do I feel that your appearance
Will be an antidote to my emptiness?
I am pierced deeply by the sting of your absence
The pain is insufferable
It amplifies my misery.
And my remnant only hopes for your return
I have nothing else to do
But sit still and keep missing you.

Beauty

Beauty is the sweetness of the eyes.

Beauty is the sight that gives the mouth speech

Beauty is the appreciation of God's creation

Beauty is the expression of gratitude for a splendor of great magnitude

Beauty is the picture we see and marvel

Beauty is that look we envied once

Beauty is the flower that blooms that hasn't seen doom

Beauty is the appearance accompanied by assurance

Beauty is the wonder that makes the world shudder

Beauty is that fineness Locked inside your soul

Beauty is your smile, your eyes, your lips, your body.

Beauty is you.

Family (2)

Never knew my beginning
I grew to believe their story
With keen interest they described my origin
How my delivery gave God glory.
I let out a cry that marked my arrival
It placed an involuntary smile on mother's face
I became a part of the human race.

I found myself
Amid closely linked bloodmates
Grew up to learn their ways,
Inculcate their values,
And many a times, go astray
I discovered a network of love
Existing among members
Which established a contrast to other people.
Sometimes they give me reason to hate them,
But the love overshadowed all grief.

Faced with many challenges
Fought many battles
We created an unbreakable bond
Won our battles.
Devoid of doubt
Of the affinity of my family
I walk with a sense of pride.
Even when I'm deserted by the world
I'll smile knowing there's love for me
From people who'll never forsake me
When in need.

From the days of my childhood
Till I found beard on my chin
Their love has never grown cold
I try to give them reason to belive
That beside them, I'm secure
I'd rather be here
Than dine in castles with kings
Because this is where I belong.

Loving your Love

You were that friend that stuck to me like glue
The one who made me smile whenever I felt blue
Your shadow behind assured me of your presence
To share your heart, I needed no License.
You were determined to be more than just a friend
The signs were clear
But I refused to see them
Uncertain of my affinity for you
I saw Love as a burden
Another cause for worry
To send you flowers
To hear your voice in the middle of the night
To show affection I did not feel
My idea of Love was erroneous

It’s a different story when a girl is in Love
I don’t know if I swept you off your feet
Or made your heart skip a beat
But I know my existence made you feel special
The thought of someone loving you made your day
You showed in every way possible that you were in Love
I knew I had found something special
A Jewel to treasure
A fortune to cherish
You proved yourself worthy of Love
I could not but Succumb to your magnetism
I had fallen for your Charm
I wanted to remain captive
Now I can look deep in your eyes and say those words.


(This is meant to be my Valentine Post)

The Condemned


People gathered round
Waiting for the sound
The sound that will mark a man's doom
His face is filled with gloom
His eyes filled with tears
His mind revolves with thoughts
He breathes every air greedily
Because every second is precious
He accepts his fate
With arms wide open
He wished he had a better life
He sought for that second chance
That couldn't be found.

I looked at him with pity
His heart must be ready for what lies ahead
He didn't have much time on earth
He wanted to make it right at the last minute
He wanted to find solace in eternity
His sins were unforgivable to man
I didn't want to be in his shoes
I wish he had another shot at life
His heartbeat synchronized with every second
His mind was fixed on his eternity
He spoke in a soft tone.
He didn't want us to ply his route
He was a condemned man.


That day my life was changed
I vowed to be a better man
To use what I have when I still have it
He lost possession of his life
But his words rang a bell in my heart
It established an unquenchable thirst for righteousness
I knew he was a messenger.


May his soul rest in peace

My Jewel, My Pride

Guarded earnestly by swords of steel
Like a door beneath the seal
My Jewel, my fortune to treasure
Unflinching to the whims of lustful pleasure
Young and free as the air
Wild and unaware
Of the evil that lurks in the dark
Unwilling to be taken aback
I crave for adventure
But I was taught to resist temptation
To stand firm for what is right

Designed with a pure heart
Made in his image and likeness
My incorruptible heart will not compromise
To offer my most intimate embrace
My virginity, my pride
The wonder of my world
That has not yet been explored
I'm determined to keep this treasure of mine
For my body is God's temple

My wisdom of purity
Is foolishness to my peers
Sometimes I feel I'm left behind
But a gentle voice resonates from within
Telling me to hold on
This Jewel of mine will remain guarded
Until the ordained time
When I shall look into the eyes of my other half
And make the vow
The only one who fills my heart with bliss
Who will fulfill my desires
But until then, My Jewel will be unknown to humanity

Happy New Year (2)

We mark another beginning
To a series of 12 months
That gives credit to time
It's the dawn of the year
Bringing celebration and appreciation
For the life to see another year.

The S.I Unit for Age
Making us older and wiser
Brings hope of a brighter future
The expectation of a miracle
A dream come true
The answer to a prayer.

Time is boundless, but a mirage
Today is tomorrow's yesterday
Once lost, can never be recovered
It's the time when we reflect on our past
In a bid to making our future better
To mend the broken part of our lives.

It's the only 2008 we'll ever see
We need to get the key
To the door of success and fulfilment.
Build on the rock
And not on sinking sand
We must work
To reach the Promised Land

It's 2008
The long arms of fate
Knocks at the gate
We mustn't be late.
Live your life without fear
For the end is near
Happy New Year

The Enemy within

Dark and pretty woman
In her, I found answers
to the darkest mysteries of Love.
Perfect wife material
She lived up to the criteria
She's every man's dream
The love from her eyes that gleam
Thoughts of the good times we shared
And how she seemed to care
are ever clear in my mind.
She was just what I needed in a woman
But behind her charm
lies the ferocity of a beast

I was sure she was the right one for me
but I was too blind to see
I remember her charming smile
Her soothing voice
Her warm embrace
that made me feel secure
Her presence,
that made me proud to be in love
I thought I had found my missing rib
The way she moves her hips
And the taste of her lips
was enough to make me say "I do"

My mother knew something was wrong
But I had to move along
Assuring her of her qualities,
her humbleness and abilities.
Now I'm legally attached to this monster
The same belle I married
Has given me cause to worry.
The woman I call my wife
Is the sorrow of my life.
The preacher said its "For better or worse"
I must face the trouble that lies ahead
Tolerate and adapt to the enemy within

Behind Bars (The Prisoner's Cry)

Sitting in this cold and dark room
Only the walls can hear my cry
The wind blows and the flowers bloom
I look up and ask God "Why"
One wrong decision
Can change a man's destination
I miss the beautiful things of life
I can only catch a glimpse of the sky
And hope for freedom
This is another world of its own
Where life is extremely miserable
I can trade anything to be free
And away from this captivity.
These bars keep me safe within them
Depriving the joys of freedom from me
I'm bound by your spell
Everlasting doors of bondage
I can only pray for the day
I'll see my family again
But I'm too busy being a prisoner
I may not see freedom anytime soon
But I still have faith
Someday I shall be far beyond the reach
of these iron bars
To be called "an ex-convict"
For that's the people verdict.
While I'm still trapped behind these bars
I must strive to survive
To stay alive and worthy of freedom.
