What is life
Just an L letter to me
Yet here I am breathing like its where I belong
Living today at my best
Worried about tomorrow and the falls that will come along
I’m unaware of so many things that I let slip away from my sight
That’s why I lost my way home
To the woman I love and my family and friends
Like I have to wait for the stars to point North again for me to use my compass direction
Somehow make it home
I hope it’s not too late to apologize to those I wronged
Those I left with open wounds that never closed
I hope I pay off the debts that took me on run
That I become the son my parents will be proud of when I walk in the crowd
I hope all goes well with my soul that along the way never comes dust to take away its purity
I hope my face will still be in shape for them to recognize me as their own
I have no birthmark but I guess mum will know it’s her son when she holds me in her arms again
I hope my future is built on trust and truth for I promise to leave the lies in the past
Maybe then I will understand what life is
After it's done putting scars on my skin

Love must have fooled me with others but you
I still feel your touch on my skin
Your kisses on my neck
Your breath when you sleep
I still hear your heart beat while closer to my chest
I still have those beautiful dreams every night
I wake up with you on my mind
Like there's no one I have loved like I loved you

A little sugar in my coffee
A little salt in my sauce
Will this life be any better
Without you in my arms
These days and night have been different
As the distance keeps growing
I'm trembling in the sun
As i keep sobbing
Baby what happened to our beautiful dream
The story of the knight and the princess
Where your father king but never approved our little secret
somehow you risked it all just to be with me
In the gardens we wrote poetry and painted pictures of how we would live the rest of our lives together
Waking up with you in my sight
Wake up with me making you breakfast
It's been weeks without a hello
Since the break up
I can't stop reading the letters
Maybe we just needed some space from each other
Maybe it's true we don't belong together
But who decided what we choose
Not even the weather
That's why i will run to you like a panther
I miss the old days and seeing you in my sweater
I miss you and its a call i can't ignore
Just come back home
Mend what's broken
Life without you is a dead end

It's never Halloween
But the demons are always out.
Turning my good days into bad ones

I was here
I was there
I was running
I was scared
Dreams fading
Lungs dying
What could I do to be my own hero
Remained unanswered
On the streets, i was wanted dead and a prize was named
But I never abandoned my town, I faced my fate.
If it was death I was ready
For a legacy I built over years, couldn't afford to watch it drop
So I drew my sword when they drew theirs
I won the fight and now I'm King.

I loved a girl once
She was everything I ever wished for
She knew how to brighten my days
Knew how to make me smile even when it was hard to beat the frown

I loved a girl once
We took photos and kept them in an album
Each time she was away
I could look at them and imagine she was near

I loved a girl once
She told me she loved me back
Did she?
My jealousy overrode me all the time
My mind was an architect of insecurities
And so each bright day got dark
Like our love flame was out of fuel

I loved a girl once
Yes I loved her
But that love was short lived
She walked away from me and never looked back
For reasons unclear
Only left me with questions
Was it love?
If it was, was it true or fake
Because it withered so fast without the sun even being harsh on it.

I made my first move soon as the traffic lights turned green.
Ran after you for I was following my heart.
You were with your friends enjoying your girls night out, when their faces turned to mine and they took me for a thief because  i was all sweaty and dressed in rugs
Somehow you ignored them and listened to me when I asked you to.
We dawdled by the river side in the silence of the leaves adorably, sat by the river side admiring the stars and how the waters glinted with light.
Talking and laughing infectiously,
I saw perfection in you as I was already falling for you
I was desperate to make you mine that's why I sang you your favorite song.
I believed that day my life would be whole again.
A happier one than  before for I saw it in your eyes  
Unfortunately,  the wind of change passed by and carried you along without a goodbye
Was it an illusion that gave me those butterflies?

I need an angel to always embrace me,
to kiss away my tears,
to refuel my energy,
to make me feel I'm a blessing to her
I need an angel to be my only adoration,
to break the spell of love and make my heart beat again
I need an angel to dance with,
cheer up with,
someone that will drive me crazy.
I need an angel to refresh my mind and wipe away all the fears that stand in my blood
I need an angel to brush my hair whenever I wake up
to tell me I'm handsome even with scars in my face
to always be my centre of inspiration
I need an angel for my heart tells me so

In the silence of the leaves
Glamour of the shining moon
Melodies of the song birds that wake up the sun
The sweet flow of waves running down the ocean
My heart rings like a telephone
Waiting for a hello that's been unheard of in the recent of days
I'm hinged on strings of hope
That darkness could raid the earth but won't shadow our love
For even amongst the stars, it shines and sparkles like diamonds
I'm grateful to every letter of your name that writes a beautiful story of my life
Grateful that though I have little on me but with you the world is mine
Thankful for the glorious days you blessed with your smile
Hoping love for me still echoes in the middle of your chest
I haven't been the best for you but you have been my best
Haven't been all you deserve but somehow  you don't push me away
Let's make love in this nest we wove since the day love called us together and thrive like a king and queen of a palace yet to be built
Happy valentine's day❤

A carved oak table
Tells a tale
Of times when kings and queens sipped wine from goblets gold
And the brave would lead their ladies
From out the room to arbours cool
A time of valour, and legends born
A time when honour meant much more to a man than life
And the days knew only strife to tell right from wrong
Through lance and sword
Why, why, can we never be sure till we die
Or have killed for an answer
Why, why, do we suffer each race to believe
That no race has been grander
It seems because through time and space
Though names may change each face retains the mask it wore
A dusty table
Musty smells
Tarnished silver lies discarded upon the floor
Only feeble light descends through a film of grey
That scars the panes
Gone the carving
And those who left their mark
Gone the kings and queens now only the rats hold sway
And the weak must die according to nature's law
As old as they
Why, why, can we never be sure till we die
Or have killed for an answer
Why, why, do we suffer each race to believe
That no race has been grander
It seems because through time and space
Though names may change each face retain it wore

Everyday, my eyes open
To admire the beautiful world
I was born into.
Motivated with the style of writing and creation,
In possession of my feelings
That can never be killed by poison,
For I appreciate every second spent in your company.
Closer than ever I want to be
Tamed by you
Your hand holding my head with passion
Not afraid to let your heart open for someone so distant from your own kind
How I want to walk on the streets holding your hand and laughing like a fool
Understand how to cope up with the eerieness of the world
The dangers that are sometimes frightening
But peace conquering all in the end
For a new world starts with beautiful minds
Trying to change the old narrative
Erase misery
Flower new melodies
New options
New everything
Floating over us like clouds in the sky
That even with different interests
We live together as one

I have  a dying heart.
It's  hurting from the inside
It's  a heavy pill of pain I can't  sustain and I'm losing my breath
Its like a sharp edge of the knife cut deep inside
And maybe its the end
That i'm meant to exchange vows with death

I have a dying heart
It was so alive and healthy
Before I sought for love
It was eager of exploring
Making me lose steps and I now  regret having taken this path

Easter egg
I found you by the river in a basket
It reminded me of Moses'story
Like you are here to liberate us from slavery
There was something about your beauty I couldn't fight
A sweet mellow played on as we locked eyes
A flash of light that opened the skies came from your skin
Like  you are not a born of this world
Almost made my eyes blind
Like you are a magic stone I should use to turn my life around
So here's the thing
What's your name?
What's your story?
Where are you from?
Where do you live?
Can we date?
I can sing, I can write how about you?
Smiles shying from my sight
Leaves me in wonder and asking more
Are you an angel
She said,
"Maybe so behave.
Only here to tell you a king from the tribe of David will die today and resurrect after three days.
So give your life to Christ and nothing will be the same again"
And then she disappeared.
Her chorus still lingers in my ears.
So exalt his name for he's here to change your life and your sins are forgiven and forgotten
Happy Easter holidays

When  the hope is gone
And the sun is over heat
You look into the sky and hope for clouds to give you shade and they are scudding across the sky
You feel your end is near
You forgetting one thing, that I will always be your umbrella

You hide under Christmas trees for they will protect you when the winter comes
Halloween bells are also   ringing and making your body shake.
Because of the bizarre sounds running from city to city, everything makes you wanna commit suicide.

Just remember one thing, I will always be there for you.
I will always comfort you.
I will always fight all battles for you
Its my promise

Crazy
Like **** from Jamaica
She gets me high
On tides on which I see the world in a different way
Beautiful and peaceful
One that has never tasted the spit of war
She makes me laugh all the time
And never lets a tear fall out of my eyes
She knows me too well to be my best friend
A companion with whom we can build a better world
And yet I still choose to just be friends with her
For I haven't felt those butterflies yet
Crazy she is
To crush my car with a baseball bat if I don't choose her side
Sometimes I feel she needs to see a psychiatrist
But no that craziness is aroused by the bond we share
Being crazy friends forever

Blazing fire
Burning for your love
Rip my skin naked and let it absorb the flames
Help me walk my last breath with your memory the freshest housed in my head
Let my heart die for love
Go to heaven and tell the angels above
"I loved that girl so much and it led me here"
Her name is a blazing fire
For my eyes burn with love when I see her beauty

We had those fights plenty of times but our love still hit the skies

I was not a swimmer but for you, my body tasted the cold waters

Take me back
To the old times
When we went to the mountain side
And forgot about the  world behind
We were eleven but acting like grown ups
Traveling across the world like birds in the winter
We were dauntless together and had no fear
You were my greatest cheer
A sound resonance of joy
It's crazy I'm not funny
Somehow I made you laugh
Remember when we were learning the alphabet
The first letters we picked l, o, v, e
And that's how we made the word love

Like the tide, I followed the moon
Away from an island that was my home
To see a world I had been locked away from
The North star gave me directions
As I sailed hoping to find
Something real
Something beautiful
Something true
Something only you had
And that was love

Remember the times we used to sneak out at night
To go and catch fireflies
Grab a jacket and cup of coffee on nights that were cold
Chess was the game for getting ourselves new friends
New faces before signing up for Facebook
That was our way
Trying to fit in
Each chance we got was always ruined
We had to build our world
Not minding being rich or poor
White or black
Tall or short
Long as we always looked out for each other
For we had us and that was beautiful
And it mattered

Friends will give you migraines
They will give you heavens
They will be an overflowing stream of happiness
Their arms will be your abode in times of sadness
They will give you the world and in it, you will create memories together.
They will remember you on your birthday,  give you surprises, and have the bigger piece of cake than the baby itself

I'm talkative but crippled of words for they all seem heavy for my tongue to say .
It could be your beauty, your smile, your awesome character making me sink deeper into a wondering flow of love and emotions
I'm trapped on the rhythms of the love songs and making sure they play till the end for my unconditional love for you has to be revealed to the word.
God's greatest creation
Move me to your loving arms and cushion me from this evil world
Love me more like you do without fail
Serve me the biggest piece of cake like it's my birthday but  it's our birthday for this day brought you to my world and now we are one inseparable pair
We are like Siamese twins
Joined for life.
Like hand and glove made to fit.
Celebrate this day and may it be filled with bliss for I love to see you grow more and more and more.
Happy birthday darling

A million letters could be arranged to make a name
I will still pick your beautiful name
A painting of you that I will hang in my room
A love that rekindles each time I think of you or see you for me to keep in my heart
A smile of you I wish to have each day
I forgot about how our hands feel when we hold one another
I forgot about the warmth of your body when we hug
I forgot that all this never makes sense to you
But one thing I never forget is what you do mean to me
I never forget your interests
the dreams you want to live
The life you want to live
I never forget that you the bloom my life needs

A song for freedom
For we are helpless with no ambition
Wishing we could see the vision
Jump on the next train to freedom
When the cage is finally open
And we can stretch our hands
And say we are finally free
To explore beyond the horizon
Race for the galaxies
Swim like the dolphins with so much peace and pleasure
Stand on the highest mountain just to see the world
Sigh with wonder of how amazed you are
For all that was blurred is clear
And the world is all yours
And you are the master of your own happiness
The feel of freedom is so far gone
That I forgot its touch

God gave me eyes to admire her beautiful looks everytime  I see her face.

He gave me this sensitive skin to feel her tender touch and not make rattle sounds whenever she hugs me.

He gave me ears that always want to hear her voice sing and her whispers.

He gave me a nose to always breath her in,  smell her fragrance or scent within a distance all the time.

He gave me a tongue and well curved  lips to   shower her with kisses

He gave  me a heart that's holds only true feelings for her

He gave that broad chest on which she lies while asleep and never gets nightmares

Which is why I say, God made me specifically for her

Wanna  see the stars
When will the night come
Wanna make a wish
Hope they listen and make it come true
I've been racing with the wind
I never caught its speed
Left me cold
I need some warmth
Will I get a hug when I have no friends
It's crazy each day that comes.
I feel all alone.
Like this world ain't my own
I need help
I'm fighting all these demons in my head
On my own.
Hope I win the battle
Don't just stand there and watch me fall

Hey mama
My ineffable love for you glistens my eyes with tears
In my hidden diaries, it's written on every page
I love you and glad I  met an angel in person that happens to be you
Your love has always been free and fallen onto us like confetti
We have found shelter in your arms and grown up  thanks to your good words of counsel
Every step we've taken has always been blessed with a word of prayer
Thanks for filling the void in our hearts when dad was never around
Even better teaching us the virtues of life
Love, forgiveness and sharing
Happy mothers day to you
Thanks for loving us

Love is falling deeper in oceans and wanting to hear mermaids sing

You've been counting days you've spent at home
I've been counting days I have missed seeing your face

You've been care free smiling and grinning
I have been praying you experience that happiness each day of your life

You've been singing songs most about love
I have been watching and wishing those were for my heart long as they brought no scars along

You've been taking photographs for your phone to keep
I've been wishing I were in those too

You've always sounded beautiful and sweet and sometimes I wished you were candy.

You've been looking beautiful
My looks have been fading

I was too silent but these feelings haunted me and I couldn't fight them

You  look beautiful in every photograph you take
I see the curves too where I wish my hands could fall whenever we hug

You've been quiet girl and I've been missing you

There was a blank space in my story that you helped fill
A broken me that you helped fix
A cheerful smile you helped build
A beautiful mind you helped grow
There was that chorus in your voice that I fell for
I saw light in my life by staring at your eyes
I could see my future designed already
Maybe it was written in the scripts
That we would meet in a mysterious way
I love the tide on which we jumped
The music that played as we kissed
Memories we made
I didn't picture me as one that would sweep you off your feet
Somehow I got lost in every verse
You helped me make it out of the maze
That's how I knew you were the one
I needn't look any further
You are the one for me and will always be
