I WILL FIND THE ONE WHEN I WANT I know young love is not for me;I know that finding the one, this young,Was never my fate; We romanticized our idea of love,And believed that growing together;And building together; Especially while young;Was the purest form of expression;Of undying devotion; But the more I’m exposed to it,The … Continue reading I WILL FIND THE ONE WHEN I WANT
Longing
MY IVY
A lot of who we are now; started with you; from the poems long written and now, mostly forgotten; that only belonged to us, and you kept safe, locked away, as a reminder of how deep we once felt. You are the girl I met, while coming of age. You pushed me to put out, … Continue reading MY IVY
MAYBE IT IS TIME TO LET YOU GO
MAYBE IT IS TIME TO LET YOU GO What if I’m meddling with fate,And the more I hold on to you;The more I interfere,With what, was already written? I believed a lot to be chance,But maybe we got lost,And should never have lasted this long;Maybe we fooled fate, and now it’s fooling with us. LOVE … Continue reading MAYBE IT IS TIME TO LET YOU GO
STAY WITH ME
STAY WITH ME I’ve watched you come and go,So many times;That I’m scared of holding on to you so close;I’m loving you loosely,Knowing you won’t make a home of here;But every single time I call out to you,I hope you stay with me. LOVE & PAIN
KEEP SEEKING
KEEP SEEKING I think we got lost for a bit, Seek-ed that side for so long,That we forgot what we really wanted;Fell short of our true selves; We have a few reminders of a life we loved;But we can’t live aspiring to a past life;We have to morph into the present. LOVE & PAIN
LETTERS TO OLUDHE (34)
LETTERS TO OLUDHE Ntie mbaka moro,That is told among our people,Of how lovers meet and fall in love;It tells the story of what love means over the years;And how it grows;In a way,That gives me hope,Hope that true love,Is something that eventually finds you. LOVE & PAIN
SINGLE AND HAUNTED BY LOVE
SINGLE AND HAUNTED BY LOVE I constantly have this love poem in my head,That I want to write, The words often haunt me,On early mornings; And sometimes,Late in the evenings, before I sleep; But there’s never emotion to it;Just words that want to tell a story. LOVE & PAIN
LETTERS TO OLUDHE (32)
LETTERS TO OLUDHE Hera,Was always something special,And something we held dear;There were times we almost gave up on it,But finding the one;That special someone;Your own special human,Was always something that felt;Like a moment away. LOVE & PAIN
C.K
I'm sorry I said goodbye over a poem. C.K I want you to know,That I held on,For as long as I could;That I carried this hope with me each and every day; We had a past that was equally beautiful;As it was tragic;And that’s why I believed in us;It was never a fairytale; it was … Continue reading C.K
IT WASN’T MY FAULT
IT WASN’T MY FAULT She claims I took advantage of her;That I’m the cause of her pain;That I’m the reason she hates men;That I’m the reason she can’t trust my gender; I was sober when it happened;She was drunk when it started;And there we were;Two bodies that once craved each other’s touch; I could see … Continue reading IT WASN’T MY FAULT
