Blade Chronicles
The ground beneath her shook continuously,Her feet almost giving in to it,She panted and spat blood,Trickles of sweat drenched her now tattered clothes.She hoped that she was running in silence,That…
Apple In A Foreign Yard
There was a chill when she walked in,They stared at her whole self,As if horns had suddenly appeared on her forehead.Her brisk walk turned into a limp,Her calm face suddenly dotted with…
Memories We Hold
The moonsky was a perfect ambience,For the amazing guys in my messed life,For the greatness you see in me.Darling Buff,Your name oozes magic just like your face,Height that makes my presence smaller…
The 'you' In Us
This is a rather a song,Of a human that is tired of seeing things in dreams.To the person that sees me in his dreams,Hoping that one day I will lie beside you,As the rib that came out of you,As the…
Mortal Ace
In loving memory Ben Oyuoka,Fare thee well darling.There are times I see your face in the night sky,I see your face outlines in the clouds,I still see my life curled around your existence,I still…
I Don't Want You Either
I don't want you,If it means getting rid of all my male friends,Pulling down all my social media pages.I don't want you,If i will be forced to text you all day,Because you're so scared of my…
Parched Earth
For my best friend ShamimThe other day I stood and watched in awe,Fixed to the ground,I couldn't move,I watched you,The sparkle in your eyes,The bright smile,The calculated walk,The perfection in…
I Don't Want You
I don't want you,If it means demeaning myself for your sake,If my patience will always be at stake,If I' ll have to get a plastic heart,Because this fleshy one cannot withstand,The blows and howls of…
My Boyfriend's Lover
She stands conspicuous,Her eyes calm and flashy,With a silent beckon beneath.Her nose soft and round,Seemingly with a softer inrush,Soft breathes,Alternate with the heaves of her chest.Her voice is…
Early Sunset
Doors crammed and dusty louvers,Crowded souls threatened the ground's strength,Hope, anxiety, hunger.Eyes on the metal door,A symbol of destiny,Renewed happiness.Help.Doors screeched,There were runs,…
Happy Ever After
If happy ever after did exist,I'd still be curled up every morning in your bed,Butt against crotch,Wrapped in the warmth of your being.I'd still be woken up by your soft touch,Feeling your tender…
I Kissed A Guy
I kissed a guy,A soft and tender kiss,Sounded more of a hiss,A gentle touch of the lips.His eyes blue and innocent,Like the waters of the pacific,Shone like a sparkle in sunlight.His lips were grey…
Sour Love
She slipped through the cracked door like a serpent,Careful as a sniper not to wake the sleeping old.Her heart throbbed against her chest,Puddles of sweat formed on her nose,Yet purpose gave her the…
Voice Of The Dead
Tribute to the late Joseph Nkaissery...It has been two days since i took a rest,Two days since the dark cloud descended,Amidst all the frenzy and speculation,My heart stopped beating,My breathe left…
Letter To My Unborn Daughter
Dear daughter,I probably don't know when I'll see you,But lately I've been thinking about you.What will I tell you the moment I'm crowned with your presence?The moment your clenched fists will rub…
The Dark Soul
Dead of the night,Fingers crossed and heart thumping against my chest,Seconds turn into minutes,1, 2,...silence.Then suddenly I heard a wail,Like someone in agony,Exhilarating pain,And then…
Night Magic
3 am I crawl out of bed,Once again you left the lights on,The music still playing,Everything is in a mess.I want to get angry,But one look at your face and damn!Your sleeping soul is epic.I smile as…
Irreplaceable Gem
The first time i saw you,Limp in your walk, shyness on your face,There was a thing about how you smiled,The perfect alignment of your teeth maybe.You were talking in low tones, almost in…
Forever And Ever
With a poise that captures my eye,You swing beside me; hand around my waist,Lavender fresh cologne, sets my mind on fire,Your unkempt hair; kinky enough to make the woman in me bubble,And a beard…
I Married A Child
Oh woman of the South,With a gaze that holds my sight,Hair that falls to her back,A rhythm for a voice,Her hips make a sinusoidal wave when she walks.The village heroine,The girl of mama's…
Pangs Of The Street
Under the scorching sun I walk,Trying hard to move swiftly,The weight of my burden heavy on my back.I run across the road,A road smooth as the tongue,Embroidered with potholes here and there,Potholes…
Unanswered Cries
Do you feel my heart beating?Do you feel my tears rolling?Does your system develop a migraine every time I cross your mind?When did all this start?When did you kiss those impeccable lips?Aren't mine…
Teach Me
Teach me,How to write with swords,How to fight with ink.Teach me how to hug the cacti,How to wash honey down the stream,To dance in the whirlwind .Teach my heart to faulter on a winter night,Teach me…
Tucked In His Pocket
There he goes walking with his friends,Little does he know he's got my heart tucked in his back pocket I stand there waiting for you to noticeThat I'm crushing on you, boy, And I just can't stop…
Treasure Of My Soul
Five years or so,The paths of our lives met,In the most unexpected turn of events,Something meant for eternity was born.You were timid, soft spoken, silent,I was confused, naive, soft spoken.You…
Rosed Thorn
Me and you don't have a beautiful story,Not even one,Not even the made up ones.No story; Maybe just beautiful faces.A serpent's incarnate,You hissed your way into my life.Each morning you woke me up…
The Girl Next Door
In my balcony every morning,Eyes stuck on one side, but my mind in a faraway place.Like a spell cast on me,I can't take my eyes off her.She oozes life,A life so abominable.And I am stuck in my…
Price Of Freedom
Four tiny walls is where we call home,Struggling to bundle up in a corner,Maybe to find warmth,Warmth in each other's skins.Maybe to listen to the voices in our heads,To listen to our faultering…
Plight Of The Unseen
I write,For the penniless and empty,The hopeless hence heartless,For the tired and forlorn,Hearts as tattered as their clothes,Those that colour the streets with epic sites, Those that paint our…
Maybe Its You
Hey hubby, hi.I don't know you yet.No, actually I'm not sure if I know you,Yet maybe I actually do,Maybe our paths have already crossed,Maybe you're that guy who keeps throwing glances at me,But I…
Come Back Daddy
The clock ticks to midnight,Reading lamp ahead of me,Book under my nose.Covered in tears.I don't know for how long this has happened.Daddy please.The intensity of tears I suppress,The conversations I…
The Fault In My Heartbeat
Blue lights,Silent skies,Nights of serenity.Tonight will be the peak of all nights,In the comfort of your chest,Heartbeat against my ear,Your arm on my shoulder,Warm breathe.I will realise what I…
Do Me, Not Her
And if you decide to let me go,If you decide to find someone else,If you realise your heart belongs somewhere else,That our dreams don't match,If you ever decide to find solace in another soul that…
Night Of Dreams
Tick tock,My wall clock reminds of my fate that is high,Its here again.Seasons of white and red,Red and black.Nights that belong to conjoined hearts,Attached souls,Souls that listen to the wind as it…
Blood For Breakfast
And when we creep down like soldiers,We want to scream,We want to run,To run to a far away land and find solace.We want to pour our hearts,To someone that understands our plea,Someone that…
Goose Chase
Tired and forlorn,My gaze smirks at the moonlit sky,Losing count every time I struggle to keep awake.These stars don't help.The night is dead silent,No frog croaks, no noisy crickets.I can hear…
Cookie For Sale
This woman,Lives next to my house.Endowed and beautiful,Fine everything,But makes me want to send my kids to their grandmother,Because am afraid they'll heed to her words.This woman next door,I no…
Weep No More Sister
The doors bolt open in the dark night,I don't want to do this,I know I will fall.But I have to do it.My sister's gaze depicts self pity,Her skin dry as sand.She scratches herself like a measles -…
Just You Baby
Baby when we lie down,I want us to do so in unison.Like a river that washes away its banks,I want to flood in your dreams.To be the shooting star you so long for,To be your dream that came true.I…
Dear Future
Dear future,I don't know you yet,Neither have our paths crossed.Okay, maybe we have maybe we haven't.But perhaps you ought to know,This woman,The one that's eagerly waiting for you,Is a total control…
Tales Of The Road
Under the scorching midday sun,My limbs lie numb.I desperately whip flies away from the deep wound on my right leg, Denying them the chance to devour the tasty meal.The flies move from the wound to…
Cursed Blessings
I want to jump, I want to run,I want to fly to a far away land,And tell the whole world of my blessing.Clad in sparkling white, the nurse hands me the baby.Am all smiles and laughter,My ear to ear…
My Father's Wife
She shines like the morning dew,Lips as red as hot fire,And a smile that turns heads.She walks in calculated steps,Her waist doing harm to onlookers,Her blessed behind leaves drool in people's…
Spell Of The Night
I press hard against the bedroom door,Careful not to arouse any suspicion,My heart beat is far from normal,And clothes drenched with sweat.My ear only catches small grunts Maybe whispers, but loud…
Outcast Ephy
She struggles to open her eyes in the morning lightHer face all swollen and ruggedHer hair smells of yesterday's boozeHands that define despairA mouth that twitches to every bird's chirpI want to…
