BY YOUR SIDE I also hope you understand;That despite my disposition;I’m in this;I’m in this with you;Waiting like you,To see what the future holds in store. LOVE & PAIN

REMEMBER TO LIVE
“Remember To Live,” is a poem I wrote from my own perspective. It aims to give glimpses into my thoughts; what occupies it most of the time, what keeps me awake on the long nights and early mornings. It’s a reminder of all that I am, and all that I am yet to be. It … Continue reading REMEMBER TO LIVE
SEEDS OF DOUBT
SEEDS OF DOUBT There were nights spent awake;Wondering if you really understood my love language;If you would really be able to love me how I desired to be loved;And those were the nights I dreaded most;Because they often planted seeds of doubt. LOVE & PAIN
12 DEGREES IN SEPTEMBER
12 DEGREES IN SEPTEMBER There are nights,The cold keeps me awake;And I often dream of cuddling with you;Letting your warmth be mine;And just wrapping you in my arms; (But you don’t exist beyond my nightmares;Because you are just someone,I wish was close.) *The Last stanza was an addition. The poem is complete with or without. … Continue reading 12 DEGREES IN SEPTEMBER
RECREATING OUR IDEALS
RECREATING OUR IDEALS We all sometimes,Create our own ideals of love and relationships; But the older we get,We often more than not; Realize,That liking someone deeply; Might not be enough,To be in a relationship with them. LOVE & PAIN
AUTHENTICITY
AUTHENTICITY I want to lead a happy life;But I’m not quite sure,What that really means, I know there’s the general feeling,That we are told a happy life should be;But I want to create my own version of what this means to me. LOVE & PAIN
HER AND I
HER AND I How do you know she’s the one?You don’t;But you see glimpses of her every day;That constantly assure you,That a lifetime with her;Will be everything you want it to be and more. LOVE & PAIN
DO YOU LOVE HER?
DO YOU LOVE HER? Do I love her?Of course, I don’t,Love takes a lot,It takes a lot to love someone; But do I see her?Of course, I do,I see in her pieces that I want to love;I see in her the only person I want to be able to love;And love has been something I … Continue reading DO YOU LOVE HER?
DARK PASSIONS
“Dark Passions,” is a poem that represents a style of poetry I haven’t touched or written like, for a very long time. It’s one of the few poems I have written that I enjoy reading. Within it lies so much weight, so much mystery, so much of how I see things, then and now, and … Continue reading DARK PASSIONS
REMEMBER ME, WILL YOU?
REMEMBER ME, WILL YOU? A time will come,When these words won’t mean anything to you;But the emotions you feel from each line,Will live with you, way past this moment;And when that moment comes,Remember my name;It was Oganga Mangiti that made you feel this way. LOVE & PAIN
