If Tomorrow Starts Without Me (Couplet) If tomorrow starts without me And I am no more here to see If your eyes filled with my tears And your trembling soul dread and fears I wish you strong heart and warm soul And coolness on your heart's burning coal When you think of the day I abscond And you want to call and I don't respond When you think of that journey gore That I will be coming back no more When you would wish to see or tell me How much you love and miss me but I flee But as much as you wish and wish We will never get to gist or reach When you think of the days of old When I'll wake and call you my blood Sweetheart, son, princess or friend My loving words have come to an end If tomorrow starts without me And I'm no more here to see Do not think my spirit has flown away forever Lean back on our fondly memories, but don't shiver Remember my smiles and gentle touch Like the gentle autumn of rain and blush Remember my scorns and hurtful insults Remember my wrongs and painful words If tomorrow starts without me And I'm no more here to see When flagging my zeal and strengths Or gone the treaded gentle poetry paths When the lilies in my head have withered The roses in my hand have fallen and wandered When the galaxy of stars glisten a forlorn hope When I've gone and will never return or grope When the earth's liquid I'll drink no more Or favourite dish in my mouth will become sour When my shrouded brain no longer thinks Or my cold hands no linger hold pen or blinks When the darkness and hidden fears are gone When I'll no longer bother about the the morrow sun If tomorrow starts without me And I'm no more here to see Shower me blessings and earthly prayers That will ascend me to the heaven's layers 8 Likes 3 Shares |

White Sea shore sand Embrace our foot with coolness Relishing the blast cold air Transcending from beneath the ocean Blissful touch of heaven upon us Awed by the sea sand and nature’s ecstasy Feel the thrill and chill of breeze When we close our eyes to decipher How it feels when lovers kiss And Surrender to nature’s bliss Those happy moments are countless Just like the constellations of stars That streams of joy is endless Like a deep mighty ocean Our well of love is deep and dries less Water for lovers there reside Heaven bears me witness How much I have long for this day Since I’ve been struck by this goddess I tingle and she wriggles and goes numb Stealing my heart with one glance of hers She’s got fragile eye balls of lust Her melodious voice like sound of hymns From David’s harp; ringing in my locked-up brain copyright 2014. |

A MEMORY OF THE DEATH (Quatrain) So sad that saddened morning A noise was heard; agony of death The songs of dirge of mourning For your departure from the earth Grim reaper of men has struck again Natural assassin that can’t be bribed Leaving us to wallow in forever pain No matter how much we proscribe If death has a price, you would never die You’re worth more than bags of gold Though you never wait to say bye In my heart your memories I behold Sometimes I feel your warmth around me Like your fragrance is so near and close I’d shut my eyes may be you will I see Or your face when you were here bestows I know you are not so far from me You live just a little way beyond Paradise of peace and no pain foresee Far past beyond the earth’s bond When I feel I miss you the most And as years go drifting by so much I delve into my library of memories host Your memories are heaven’s gentle touch Soothing me, like a soft balm on spines You are the sunlight that sparks on sheets The beaming moon that shines The cool breeze that send off heats They heal and conquer the pain in my heart The rough and tranquil days we shared Will find abode and life in my poetry art I will lay them underneath the pillow on my bed Though alive we do speak no more In my head you forever live in me and sings Perhaps you come to me in night dreams I will disclose to you many things tag:Larrysun Sammyhoe/ Sammy hoe Audrey Timm Princesa Prettyspicey Davep Temitope Daniel Texanomaly Firestar Justice enam/Justiceenam Spiceyeva/Spice eva Queenxstar Noble4d Flakkydagirl TiffanyJ Missyhorlah Tpia5 AdebayoOmolara Timpaker Dorisbest Lorlaahlorzz D9ty7 TheRock5555 Royver Orikinla OmA4u Dammygoody Kingphilip Dygeasy 9 Likes |

Finally, you've burst out of your inhibition. Kudos, bro. Have a definite style, for without style there cannot possibly be a single work out value in any branch of eloquence or poetry. I'm glad your works are not wanting in depth and regularity; your pentameter is iambic and it is easy enough to identify the rhyme schemes and enumerate the chiming vowel-sounds and the alliterated consonants. I suffer from an incurable dysentery of words in others' poetry. Perhaps that is why I find pleasure only in reading Yeats' 'The Second Coming' and Shakespeare's 'The R*pe of Lucrece': Turning and turning in a widening gyre The falcon cannot see the falconer Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world. (TSC) Who buys a minute's mirth to wail a week Or sell eternity to get a toy? For one sweet grape who will the vine destroy? Or what fond beggar, but to touch the crown, Would with the sceptre straight be strucken down? (TRL) Deeper than prose, poetry is a land of iron coinage and of iron speech; hence my reluctant desire to journey thence. I once came, I saw, and I fled. I'll rather remain grinding my stones in the hamlet of amateurish prose. Those who travel to this iron land are later canonized as gods; gods of words. Well done, OMA4U, and goodluck. 1 Like |

firestar:I'm more comfortable farming in the vineyard of prose fictions. I sometimes try to write some poetic lines though, but each word is a strain on my intellectual elasticity. A line of poetry can be substituted for a chapter of prose. |

Pregnant Future A wise farmer arises at the sun rise Hanging hoe on his shoulder from home Holding firmly to his machete sternly and hurry Heading for farming to farm any farming He scorns the thorns and plants the corns Hoping to harbor in his palour his labour But overtime the harvest time grows no dime The man weeps deep, still nothing to reap If men could see the blossom future Only things that breed leisure they will nurture But the future is uncertain and unfair Jumbled up with tears and wears No one know the child it will bear Though sometimes it appears crystal clear We have to be steadfast for the days of harvest And by hope that will live and await the best From the pregnant future |

Sonnet one Shall I say my delight to write you this? If by no means I will burn down the earth Whirl wind has shaken me in my lone days I’ve wandered lonesome in the shade of death Since you bid me a valedictory way Hell fury of the heaven’s eye burns me And my face’s clutter’d tears cast a ray In a mirror before me you I see Sadness has made you wear an olden grey And I shall change your old skin back to youth Even if your love’s strength seem to decay I hope you race back with a cheetah’s foot As this rich words poetry plead for my wrong My love shall in my verse forever live young |

Re: OMA Collection Of Poems by noble4d(m): 9:56am On Aug 29, 2014 |
OMA4U: Sonnet one I have problems with ur sonnet. A sonnet is a poem of an expressive thought or idea made up of 14 lines, each being ten syllables long. there are two patterns in sonnet: 1, English pattern 2, Italian pattern but let me emphasize on English pattern...... The English pattern is written as 3 quatrains followed by a rhyming couplet. e.g ab ab,cdcd,efef, . Note: pay attention on your syllables. Noble cares |
