Voice calls gently in the night
mind awakens lucid flight
gazing from Orion's shores
Angels open dreamscape doors
shadows cross the face of Mars
lovers count the falling stars
Sun evokes a gentle breath
to mark another twilight's death
awaken dreamer to morning's light
dreams rest silent til birth of night
oldie re-worked
I wish to paint a picture
with a cluster of words
Each twist of the brush
lashing out a vivid image
Filled with diverse colors
And liberating thoughts
tampering existing beliefs
And infinitely looped ideas.
Clear skies are often coldest,
Tempests' temper seems subdued.
Sunlight skims the tiles of rooftops,
Stops.
Savours,
Admires the view.

The sky was never blue.
Obsidian haze and gunmetal days
Light the life we choose.
Blackened,
Slightly bruised.
Broken yet not dismayed.
Too long we have been walking,
Proud in our shroud of the grey.

My brother, my teacher,
My foe and my friend.
Our ghosts shall speak
Once more at the end.
We are critical.

We find flaws in
everything we see
because nobody
wants to write
about perfection,
even though sometimes
we wish we could just stay
staring into that
unblemished surface.

2. We are never satisfied.

We live our lives upon
mountains of
scrunched up
bits of refill and
ideas we gave up
trying to
express.

3. We never forget.

We write words about
eye contact made
three months ago
that we replay over
and over in our minds
even though it
stopped
being relevant.

4. We are fickle.**

Our emotions flash
from one
to the other
like strobe lighting that
disorientates us
until we feel as if
the world
will never be still.

5. We are exposed.

We don't know how
to keep our feelings
to ourselves so
we'll write them
down for
you to find
'accidentally'.

6. We are vulnerable.

We wear our
hearts on our sleeves
and won't lift a
muscle to fight back
if somebody tries
to break it
because we thrive
from the pain.

7. We will never stop.

We will never stop
feeling and
we will never stop
hurting,
we will never stop
breaking and
bleeding and
loving
even though the cycle
is endless
and we know what's
coming next.


We are addicted
to agony,
but we agonise
for the art.
It's worth it though.
I'm here to appologise
For in the battle field i went missing
Was not killed but injured.
I bled so terribly
I was helpless and useless
I picked my pen to write bit it had no ink
I filled in my blood  but my brain failed
I could not think!
I could not translate my mothers' language.
It was really hard.
In fact i decided to just talk to the spirit,
To give you hope and patience
That you may wait until i come
I hope you got the ego to see me again
To hear from me again
:::::::::
My language is new
I hope you got somebody to translate
Do not worry why my writings are in red,
I have decided to write using my blood.
No access to a shop
No friend to borrow from
The clossest animal here is a tsetse fly
Chewing my skin for blood
My bedding, the leaves,got rained on
And today i will transnight!
My food the black berries,
Are rotting in these heavy rains,
I doubt if in my cave there will be peace tonight,
Snakes are just peeping and i have alot of fears
If anybody can translate this to you,
Please come for my help,
Because my life is in danger!
Writing to speak what is in my heart.
Emmotionally heartbrocken
I know i am ready
Because my beautiful one is born already
I have grown hair
I saw my dad  had when he sat on his  chair
My beutiful one has the *****
Which i saw my mum had when she bent to remove the *koobs
I have a goat
Which looks like my fathers coat
I will pay it as my dowry
Though my fathers' was jewelry
It has grown long ,my stick
Though i saw my fathers'was thick
I am ready
My beautiful one,after that day told me she felt it heady
I think i am ready to marry
My beautiful one is mary.
Comparison
As i flip the pages
like i did for ages
one day
it will pay
i mean i wil find something new
which i knew
that i will find a million
for my pages will be read by a battalion
my senses will be right
and i will pay whoever will write
i know it will happen
that my readers will have pens
to write what they know
and i will read 'em come snow
far and wide
i will,as i walk and hear my strides
i will always remain devoted to my friends
even if they never trend
i will read 'em always
until they ask themselves how i make it in all the ways
i will read in the rains
even when my shirt stains
i will read in the sun
even when my head burn
i will read read and read
until i forget to see my breeds
my people will wonder why
but i will hold my answer to buy.
maybe it will happen someday!
Please correct my poem where you can.
