HOPE Mar 2021
Ocean deep are disturbed thoughts
Sky high of dragging frustrations
I weep same as clouds full of emotions
River flowing silently in the middle of nowhere
Here I am dressed with a gown of sorrow
Intensive silky pieces within thy shoulders
Oxygen unable to reach those lungs
Whereas I desire to inhale some one more time
HOPE Jul 2020
I tried
to live on my own
cause I thought
I didn't need anybody,
on my own I could manage
I thought I didn't need grace
as well as mercy,
believing they are things of the ancient times
Incriminating myself at this moment,
self sufficient, no success
Till I went as I am before the creater and said,
any moment as desired,
as a vessel, use me
as an offering, myself, I offer,
as you desire, I am here
I'll avail myself as your sacrifice,
because in you I found a hiding place
Candidate of your mercy,
is who I am
Beneficiary of your grace,
is what I got awarded with
HOPE Sep 2020
If only you learned to love me through my imperfections,
The affair of our hearts would have been perfected.
HOPE Jan 2021
I despised you that very hour
Of the way you left my heart in pieces
But today I woke up missing you
As if you never broke my heart
#IWastryingHaikuButEndUpGoingLeft 😀😀
HOPE Jun 2020
To the love I desired,
and to the rejection I got
To the appointment I set,
and to the disappointment I failed to have control upon
To the weakness that made me shiver through down my spine,
as if I was never strong enough to do it my own

Through the bleeding heart,
which can never be cut into pieces
Through thee knock down,
which can never be turned into knock out
I have been made strong
HOPE Jun 2020
To the unsettled world
where dreams are mostly shattered,
and plans mostly fail to make it to reality
Where victories are never guaranteed,
and faith is the only thing you try to hold on to,
I hope my prayers are made valid
HOPE Oct 2020
I promise I'll love more of you tomorrow
Than the agony I inaugurated on thee today
And catalyse our memoir through our yesterday
HOPE Jun 2020
Stabbed a million times with a butcher knife,
you still stand
You still stand when the doors you only knew,
are closing up on you and the don't seem to be a way out

Broken down a thousand times,
with a feeling that you can rise no more
but just like waves rising up I'll rise
Even waves sometimes don't rise under certain circumstances,
but at the right time they rise
HOPE Oct 2020
All I ever wanted
Was to love
And to be loved in return
Yet my wish was never granted

All I ever desired
Was to be a resident
In thy heart
Just as thou were in mine
Yet I became homeless

Every tears I shed
That needed thy comfort
Instead of a cloth you threw in my face
To wipe those salty water escaping
Yet you found it ****

Every hug I longed for
That you threw me a pillow
As if it can give me the warmth
I felt in thy chest
Yet you persuaded

Every kiss thy lips ached for
Just to take away the emptiness
I felt in thy presence
Even if it was just a touch and go
Yet I was denied

Every touch I yearned for
That you left unattended
As you closed that door
And handed down the note
Written " Be out of my apartment by 11h00"
Yet I waited for an apology

I lost myself in the process
While being treated as an option
Yet you continued to progress
Still I loved you yet I hated you
HOPE Jul 2020
Barefoot on the grass,
with our eyes lifted up in the sky
In the evening dawn full of stars
stars which can only be counted
through each heartbeat we take
because they say heart don't lie
I love you

If these three words
don't have a sentimental value
still will be alright
as what I feel in the inside
hold no valuable explanation
just unexplainable sensation
of this tiny self longing more of you
I love you
HOPE Feb 2021
I miss her
The one who used to smile
Blush over tiny things over and over again
And chuckle over the sound of her laughter

I miss her
The one who used to own happiness
Roaming around the colourful butterflies
Until she could feel butterflies in her tummy

I miss her
Young girl full of impossible dreams
That kept her day dreaming throughout the day
Whereas they were just fairytale that kept her faith

I miss her
Who didn't think of tomorrow
Just taking the day as it came
Allowing herself to breath

I miss me
Not this one full of endless thoughts
Which are drying up her bones
Who carry the universe on her shoulders
HOPE Jan 2021
Or too sluggish to Pace
In this destiny I'm set upon
There should be sunbeam
At the end of the tunnel right?
Yet I'm jammed in the middle of nowhere

Step backward Step forward
Still darkness shielding my eyes
No matter how extensive open my eyes are
Maybe I'm just blindfolded to see the tiny light ahead
Yet too sighted to see that I'm lost
HOPE Oct 2020
On this midnight hour
I desire to pen...

What is in the mind
What is in the heart
And unleash the heaviness in my spirit

To allow the ink of this pen to drip
And drive the desire within thee

The hands are willing
Yet the mind is impulsive
With omnipresent emotions
HOPE Jan 2023
I found missing pieces,
In this board of riddle I assembled,
And only I realized,
It is not just them incomplete,
So is everything
HOPE Aug 2020
I the end it was just me and my thoughts,
A painful trap, long after you were gone
Gone from thee eyes of the universe,
as well as from these fascinating midnight dreams of mine
Countless times I closed my eyes,
trying to retrieve our happy times we spent together,
of times I smelled the lillies you once gifted me with,
that maybe I'll be able to smell that sweet aroma,
you always brought in the room

I am dying in the inside,
as each picture of how you used to look like,
is fading away slowly from the eyesight of my mind
In the end it was just me and my thoughts,
shattered dreams and no touching of hands,
as I watch you ride beneath the pampered glass of thine heart
HOPE Jun 2023
It has become one of the songs,
that we sing, yet we lost the meaning

We sing with no hope,
manifest with no believe,
neither understanding

But the question still stand,
are we really going to be okay?
HOPE Feb 2021
Been staying on my lane
Through the stormy rain
Yet I still feel bound in chain

Taking the train
Of soul-searching again
Yet I keep going insane

I just need a glass of champagne
Take a deep breath and retrain
As all seems to be in vain
HOPE Jan 2021
Back in the garden
Named Eden
Where life began

Barefoot on the grass
Rain barrel between the arms
Pouring through the Iris

While busy springing up
Through these melodies
With my Ear drums on the petal tip
Hearkening to the vent of these Irises
HOPE Dec 2020
To dwell on laments,
Which corrupt the mind,
Ingest the soul,
And effectuate aperture to the heart?

Laments that only breed,
lividity,
Anxiety,
Even trepidation?

Initiating self-condemnation,
While free holding probability to Rise beyond
                                                          ­Â Â  Move past
                                                            ­ And letting go?
HOPE May 2020
Your lust for me,
I confused it with love
Mishandling of me I thought it was love,
turned out to be the biggest scar acquired by my heart
The tears I shared in your care,
I loved you still in believe that you'll learn to love me

Tears dried
Feelings died
The heart got Broken beyond repair
And the warmth of your chest got colder and colder
All because I thought it was love,
Love which was never Enough
HOPE Oct 2021
When she hold on in a breaking moment
Through emotions no one would understand,
It is Him

When she lays down under the tears of heaven
That ushers tears on her eyes
To the glimpse of heaven,
It is Him

When she think she is healing
Then in between breaks down
Yet never gives up,
It is Him

That uphold her hand
Capture her heart
And never let go,
It is God
HOPE Feb 2021
Holding on
To the last breath within her
Wanting second chance to life
But it is just not enough
To keep her heart beating

Forcing eyes to stay open
While slowly closing in
Trying to move herself side to side
While slowly shutting down
Getting tired of holding on

Angels at the bed side
Singing "well done, well done"
Time to say goodbye
Tears dropping one last time
As the father called his daughter home
It is not fair but His will
We all want to live forever, unfortunately it is not our will. Inspired by The Best Man Holiday.
HOPE Mar 2023
The nervousness within her cheeks,
From the warmth of his hands,
Ignite the light within her eyes,
And yet recount unutterable feeling,
Hidden deep within her heart.
HOPE Oct 2020
Still trying to forget
That traumatic experience
Yet I still remember
As if it was a day before today

In the middle of nowhere
Horrified to the core
Like I was witnessing thee end
Frightened as if I was about to be swallowed

Yet I was being spooked
With haunted laughs over and over again
Even though I tried to close those ear drums
Still I felt that laugh as I kept running
And running to the wrong direction

From nowhere
Came a hand
Directing me somewhere
Out of this habituated land
At least I thought so

Only to realize that...
That I have been taken into this haunted cave again
While calling and calling unanswered
Trapped for dear life, as I accept defeat
Only to open my eyes
And realize that It was just a dream
HOPE Apr 2021
Till our eyes were ocean deep in the red sea
God knows we prayed
Till our bodies could no longer race against our heartbeat
God knows we prayed for you
Stood in the gap for the life of an amicable soul
As if we had the supernaturals to stop the universe
But still you said, "I wanna go home"

Courageous Ella
Full of cheeky laugh
Unexplainable aurora
I watched you ride beneath a new born sun
Just like horses embarking on a rote of new Jerusalem
That we are all set to paddle upon one of the good days
When time begin to run against the clock

One beautiful morning
God called you to stroll the heaven with him
Held your hand to let you smell the roses full of life
And danced through the melodies only played in heaven
I can picture you looking at your mommy and your daddy
Whispering "I love you but I wanna go home,
Tell Raphaella she'll never be alone, I'm now her angel"
Basking into the arms of the Father wearing crown of victory
In loving memory of Israella Bushiri.. Fly little angel
HOPE Oct 2020
I wish to marry a poet
Who will pen me down
In such a magnificent way
And make me drown
In the ocean of his words all day

I wish to marry a poet
Whom the theory of his ink
Will channel him to find inspiration in me
As I turn him on through each wink
Like the universe belong to him and his rhyme

I wish to marry a poet
Who will turn our love story
Into a fairytale triangle
Like a startling light of the glory
Shining bright like a candle
Imagine having to read one of the piece about you so sweet and fascinating that you even shed a tear because the things written down just overwhelms you.
HOPE Mar 2022
Her veil were divided in between,
while she hid behind the curtain of shame,
walking through the street of frustrations,
while her eyes spoke volume of agony.
HOPE Jul 2021
Labored of immorality to immorality
By the blood sanctified
Apparelled with righteousness
Now gaze on the price,

Jesus Christ

HOPE May 2021
Put on her shield
Raise the double-edged sword
Placed within the palm of her hand
Just like Moses she will lead

Clothed with piety
Take on the sling, put on stones
Mouth full of praises
Like David she will subdue

A warrior of exactitude
Rising against the Amorite
Full of dispute
To authenticate

Possessing like Joshua
Dominating like Judah
And birthing new creation like Mary
For she is of Jesus Nation
HOPE Apr 2021
It was this other day
Picture it in your mind
Pen it in your heart
Once the ink is dry, let it go

Dry bones once breathed life upon
For supernaturals to come into existence
Became dry and useless once again
Just like useless agony, let it go
HOPE Feb 2022
Incriminating of oneself to criminal prosecution,
Into a place where its dark and cold as highways of California
Hands on my back bound to bottom in chains,
With no where to hide

A long walk to freedom,
As I drag my feet to the right,
And look up in the sky with my eyes closed
Finally, I could see a tiny cloud to liberation of Sunday morning blues.

Fell head over heel in love,
I'm telling you I did
Gave him my heart,
as well as my being,
I dedicated all to him
Talking about the oxygen I breath,
he was that kind of oxygen that gave me life
Let go of my dreams,
to accommodate something which was never mine

Talking about life with no guarantee,
he left me within a blink of an eye
"I've found someone else" he said
I smiled with so much heartache,
as if I can hear him say he's bluffing,
He bended to kiss my forehead,
as if its not the last time I smell this cologne,
I introduced him to and say
"I wish you the best"
He left me with nothing,
while I gave him everything
Talking about life with no guarantee
HOPE Feb 2023
What if humans
were not created to be happy?
Only to exist, then deteriorate,

To the underworld where we belong,
Whatever it is,
Life seems to have no truth.
HOPE Feb 2022
Debts get written off,
whenever a debtor become insolvent
And I wonder why it can't be the same procedure,
for the agony shrouded deep within
It has been long overdue.
HOPE Feb 2021
Eyes wide open like a bulb
Shining through the night
Yet love makes us blind
HOPE May 2021
I asked him the other day
"Do you love me?"
He placed my hand in his beating heart
Whispered on my ears with his calming voice
Opened my eyes to read between the lines
And made me taste the liquid from his well
Until butterflies were chanting on our heads
And he said "That is love"
HOPE Jul 2021
Put off the flames
Close the door behind my back
Yet love came like a rushing mighty wind
HOPE Nov 2022
with just one stolen glance into each other's eyes,
a picture perfect of our love was designed

we laid on each other's arms throughout the night,
and made promises too perfect to be broken

Honestly, if eternity calls our names,
I'm picking up the call,
and get to do this lifetime thing with you
HOPE Jan 2021
Hold my hand as I hold yours
And let us tear on each other's arms

HOPE Dec 2021
How vulnerable we were
That night,
we made love
And shed tears
Then broke each others hearts
HOPE Dec 2020
To harmonize thyself
For sense of inclusion
Within thy brokenness
She tried

To take off this laprosy
Hanging around her
Producing rejection
She tried

To drown on thy vast
Of scented cologne of hers
To attract the attention of theirs
She tried

To overdose on pharmaceutical
At least they will besiege for life
Neither miracle to keep her alive
She tried

Of all that could come up to her mind
To end the misery deep within her spirit
She tried tried tried and tried million times
Yet she still felt like a loveless soul
HOPE Dec 2021
Two hearts,
meant to beat as one
But yours beat for her
and someone else
Yet you say love isn't suppose to hurt
HOPE Jan 2022
Your heart stopped beating out of
chest,
When you starred right through my
eyes,
And fail to notice you were racing
against the clock.
HOPE Jan 2022
"I love you,
I love you too"
Yet the season came to an end,
Once they realised they were not meant to be

I tell you, sometimes love is never enough.
#LoveTakeUsThroughEachCorner
HOPE Jan 2022
Out of all highways,
I driven on with no destination,
And finally finding one within your heart,
Took my eyes of the steering wheel.
HOPE May 2020
Loving you has always been more than breathing to me
If I take a wink and never breath again,
our love has hit the very end of our journey here on Earth
But as I cross to thee other side I'll be loving you still

My love for you keep my heart beating like a sweet melody,
that keep playing at the back of my mind with no ending
Even if the genre of the music changes,
my heart forever hold the sound of the melody we created
And till eternity I'll be loving you still
HOPE Jun 2021
Many years ago
On this very day
God allowed you
To share your loudest cry
Turning into a contagious smile

A visionary
A lover
A mother
Who even lost one of her breed
I call you a general with scars

Here I am
With the pen in my palm
Strolling smoothly like a silk cloth
Yet I thought the ink would be dry
But how will it dry on a special day,
When the poet only release what is buried deep inside?
It is my mother birthday, and I told myself I will not write long caption as words are never enough.
HOPE Oct 2020
The rising of the waves in this sea
Are like the beating of hearts in degree
As you lie here beside me
HOPE Jan 2021
He took my hand
Lead me to his bed
And I trusted him

Gave me sweets
Let me sit on his lap
And I smiled

He started to unbuttoned my dress
Touching my small rounded babies
Stroking my lips
While my smile faded

I tried holding on to my dress
Tears threatening my eyes
While looking through his eyes
As he turned into a monster

He continued to tore it into pieces
Rushing to take the underwear off
And finally I'm naked before him
As he bite his lip off now and then

Pushing me to the bed
Thrushing his ****
In and out of my well
Breathing heavily on top of me
Busy satisfying his quench

While I bled and bled
Staining his sheets
While he stained my heart
And took away my innocence
Maybe I didn't tell him to stop
HOPE Jul 2022
I pushed myself to the mirror
Yet we looked at each other
With no recognition...
