Let's toss a few jutsus
Just for the heck of it

And change landscape
Without dark poetry

No kunai
No lies
No broken blood ties

Wouldn't it be useful,

Just you,
the world,
the heavens
these lines...

And I?
C'est magnifique

Re: The Poets' Café : Chat Room! by Nobody: 3:50pm On Feb 10, 2013
Now imagine you are listening to some anime tune and it sounds like Lil Zane's ''Ways of the world'' from back in the day as you read these lines below.(Its also Sunday so its aiiight) grin grin grin


I write an ode to the most high
Because deep down inside it feels so right
I can’t explain why he loves me
But I am so glad he never gave up on me
So I don’t have to roll greens to get high
I’d rather just praise the Lord most high
And then he will take me on to greater heights
That I could never get if I was green high
He helped me get off liquor spirits
By filling me with his holy spirit
And now he’s given me an appetite
For only pure things and living right

It's a good thing we are creating an awareness for it then.

sigmundfreud: THINKING OF U...
I think of you…

As a flower
With coloured petals

As a tower
Of precious metals

As a stream
Cool and blue
(Flowing through)

As a dream
Coming true

I think of you
As a bee thinks of pollen
As a cat thinks of fish
As a dog thinks of meat
I think of you

I think of you
As a rainbow thinks of rain
As I think of food
As a baby thinks of milk
I think of you!

As a shower
Drizzling gold

As a cover
In freezing cold

…I think of you!

online and willing to chat,
safe from the valentine bug;
alone in the solitude of this cafe,
the muse rests on my fellows,
as they toil in verse,
while I am left hollow

I have enjoyed the poems posted here. Here is a poem I wrote in 2011 about Nigeria, it still seems relevant though


Unveiling the oppression wrapped in hope



If I cannot see through the wall then it is my flaw;

I alone may fall but someone might raise me up.

If we all cannot see beyond the wall then we all may fall;

Into the mud caused by the flood we allowed to flow.


If we see a snake and say it is a fake,

And hope (though in vain) that fake becomes vague,

Then rouges would remain in vogue,

Destiny mowers in the corridors of power,

Having their way while we debate our stake.



Why have we decided to wait till sons of men awake?

While they bloom from their selfish and unending stream of dreams.

Oh! They said we should not blow the whistle;

Yes! So we don’t burst the bubble;

Yet they blow their own trumpet,

Of puppet acclaimed success.



The one who stole our goods has now become our lord,

Brodas and Sistas, what have we been taken for?

Very intelligent morons led by mumus?

Ceasing to rebel even though we have a reason;

Waiting for the right time to say the truth,

As though truth like fruits now has its season.



Could it be because of God we fear? No,

Even the merciful God at his worst remains a righteous judge.

Then whom do we resemble that so easily we tremble?

Lily livered yet heavily built.

Our driver only knows the road to Egypt;

If we must reach Canaan we must take it personal.



With a pen, a gun, and our God; what else do we need to fight our cause?

A graph of opportunity versus convenience might never have a slope;

Neither do we need a telescope to know where to go.

Our pilgrimage to victory might not start so soon,

Until we embrace the truth even in our hood,

And with thistles burst all bubbles that have given us troubles.

I love little pu s sy
her coat is so warm
and if i dont hurt her
she will do me no harm
so i will not pull her tail
no drive her away
but pu s sy and i
very gently will play
she shall sit by my side
and i will give her food
and pu s s y will love me
because am good.

I had a little nut tree,
Nothing would it bear
But a silver nutmeg
And a golden pear;
The king of Spains daughter
Came to visit me,
And all for the sake
Of my little nut tree.

To the mickey that got here first
I duff my hat
The brain of the initiator I lust
I take a bow as a newbie
To those whom to poetry are like bee
That add to plain words the sweetness of honey
Beautiful words that cannot be acquired by money
I hail those with pails of wisdom
Cheers to those that rule the word's dorm
...I rep a poet
Www.samademi.

Tears of a Broken Hearted Violin


There are tears ordinary eyes cannot see as we weep
These are not the tears on our pillows as we sleep.
Because these are not ordinary tears.
The invisible tears of our invisible fears
The tears we have been shedding over the years.
The tears of joy and the tears of harrowing sorrow
The tears of my heart and soul flowing till tomorrow.


So, here I am all alone
Since my beloved is gone.
She has left me without even saying farewell
She has left me abandoned by the wishing well.
I am so heart broken, because I have been forsaken.
How I wish she took me along to heaven
She can no longer hold me in her loving arms
She can no longer caress me with her loving palms.
She has been blown away like chaff in the wind
But her name still echoes in my mind
I can still hear her melodic angelic voice
In the echoes of the floating sound in space.
Her spirit is descending from the throne above
Descending to envelope me with her eternal love.


~ From The Prophet Lied by Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima.
