THE EPITOME OF LOVE Have you ever set eyes on the one and your heart skip a beat Have you ever fallen In a trance and it seems you just found A gold mine And then you ask yourself What is love Can it be defined Is it just an emotion or more Your heartbeat increases As if you just Ran a marathon All you want is her The question What is wrong with me Why am I loosing it What's so special about her It can't still be figured It's just she you want And nothing more What's the plan To woo such beauty How, is the question Your head has become a time machine Seeing the possible outcomes For every move you take and seeing if you stand A chance After all is said and done Reality dawned on you And honestly You don't stand a chance Not even by a hair's breath But either ways only One option awaits And that's to Pursue If the battle is lost Then the soul shall recover But if not then the chase Was worth it and I shall derive pleasure being With the queen who Stole my heart With a glance. ONE MORE SHOT ELSE I DIEI have felt pain The type able to drown you Put you in depression while suicide bangs the door of your sanity. You need help from yourself You need to be saved Who will help A sick man They call me a burden Die if that's what you want The world won't pause Because of you There's no peace, all hope lost My heart Shattered into many pieces Is what it is I look for solitude And my only help Is in the glass A shot They call it spirit Get me drowsy I feel numb Get the pain away Call it fake But all I want to feel is nothing Sobriety about to kick in Get me a glass lest I die Tears cascading down The beautiful eyelids I am broken Giving myself false hope Call it self deceit Something to suit your taste But if you haven't been At your lowest Don't judge Get me a note and a pen Let's end things I am tired of fighting It's hard Don't stop me Dopamine is the pleasure In my mind Just took a flight And I really can't hear you The bottle call it vodka My friend, my happiness Don't take her from me You've taken enough What else do you want You broke a fragile soul And you're here trying To claim repairer Fuck off It can't be repaired Your decision has been made All I want is to be left alone To drown in my misery How less of a man I feel She a whore has done it again After just healing You're bad for me Poison, is what you are Flee Can't be a simp again Never will I trust This is the end Just give me a shot Else a soul might be drown And a life lost in the abyss. OURSThe joy, mimics and laughter
Are all heard at the dinning table. As we gather to take our breakfast. Do you hear the beautiful voices of the little children. That brings so much joy and smiles to their cute faces. Do you hear the quarrelling of the little ones, the warnings of their parents as they tend to be naughty and innocently kneel knowing the wrong they have committed. Apologizing with such tender hearts. Do you see the unbreakable love that each of them share. The tender love of father and mother as they take turns to sing lullabies and read stories To drift them off to sleep. The beauty of the sun radiates in the room and they are woken by the sound of the alarm clock as they run down the stairs, To get a tight hug and a bite of whatever is producing that sweet aroma. Be patient young lady, No eating directly from the pot. 'Else you want rain to fall on your wedding day And drive everyone away . Don't scare my beautiful princess, All is a myth. But princesses have to brush and be neat. The food isn't running away. And school still awaits you. The responsibilities build up and sometimes it might be choking but love surpasses all and we make time to show each other. How dear they are to us. The unbroken chain of a family. The love, the pain,the joy, the rift. All isn't a bed of roses. But we end of gaining momentum. Through love and support. And surviving in the worst situations.
