What's alliteration said the boy
Who didnt even know how to say oy
Shut up boy, for ur head is void
Dont talk when u ought to be dumb
For the hour to keep silent has come
When u grow old u shall say yummm
Knowledge tastes good
But for now,stay mute.

LOVE DOESN'T COMES IN COLOURS
BUT IT BRIGHTENS ANY HEART IT TOUCHES
LOVE IS TRANSPERENT CAUSE
IT SEE'S THROUGH OUR TAUGHTS AND EMOTIONS
IT HELPS A DEPREST HEART FEEL ALIVE AGAIN
LOVE DOESN'T BELIEVE IN WRONGS
I BELIEVE IN LOVE
Re: Poetry Contest by ACAN(m): 8:54pm On Jan 24, 2008
WHY?

Lonely you kept me wondering
What I have done wrong to deserve this
Always I been thinking about you
How you held me when love almost deserted me
How through thick and thin
You stood by me
But you started haven odd excusses
In spite the sacrifices we both encountered
Though confused I was still patient
Not knowing what to believe in any more

I have decided to pick my pieces and move ahead
But why are you calling back on me?
Why are you so cruel to me?
You accused me I left without saying goodbye
In a desert I couldn’t find water
What did you expect me to do?

You are tormenting me
By reminding me with of your presence
Though I remembered those pretty smiles
The joy they brought to my life
Its still a misery I can’t figure out
But can I love you the way I use to?
Re: Poetry Contest by ACAN(m): 5:50pm On Feb 04, 2008
MY DECISION

I HAVE MADE UP MY MIND
TO STICK WITH YOU FOREVER
TO PUT MY LUSTY DESIRE ASIDE
TO BLINDFOLD MY EYES
SO THAT I WOULD LOOK AT NO OTHER

I HAVE WARNED MY FEET
TO RUN AFTER NO OTHER  WOMAN
AND SPANKED MY LIPS
TO KISS NO OTHER DAMSEL

I HAVE DECIDED INSIDE ME
TO BE THERE FOR YOU
WHENEVER YOU NEED ME
TO CELEBRATE YOUR JOYS WITH YOU
AND SHARE IN YOUR SORROWS

DEEP OF MY LOVE

I CAN'T WAIT TILL DAWN
I COUNTED THE STARS
THEY ARE NOT AS MANY AS MY LOVE FOR YOU
THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE SUN
CAN'T BE COMPARE WITH THE LOVE I HAVE FOR YOU
DAYS AND NIGHT MAY GO BY
BUT THOUGHTS OF YOU ALWAYS WILL REMAIN WITH ME
MAN GROWS OLD
BUT MEMORIES OF YOU GROWS YOUNGER
MY LOVE FOR YOU WILL NEVER RUN DRY
UNTIL AN OCEAN RUNS DRY
Re: Poetry Contest by ACAN(m): 3:05pm On Feb 10, 2008
WHEN I THINK OF VALENTINE

Memories of you eluded my mind
You stood by me when love almost deserted me
Through storms, tempest and raining days
Your love for me strong it waxed still
Some say putting my love in you was wrong
But you have been the best thing
That has ever happened to me
I smile any time I thing about you
You are an angel in disguise
You will always be my valentine
Re: Poetry Contest by lekana(m): 4:20pm On Feb 10, 2008
No matter what

I am always lifted
Each time I think of her
She glitters like the morning sun
Bright as the moon in the darkest hour
Each time I think of her
She runs through my mind
Like the swift flight of an arrow
No matter the religion
She will always be my Perfect gem
Inasmuch she exist in one of the
Regions on the globe
Then, I can find my way to her heart

nice piece you got there
Re: Poetry Contest by smtprince(m): 5:10pm On Feb 11, 2008
thanks

but i stretched and look
behold the hero
whose very breathe
is poetry

commends a layman
whose years of study
has yet a rhyme to make

but then alass
i am to him indebted
for ages and faces
have made me run

But a word spoken
so short
so pure
so true
so motivating
so everything
in all things
made feelings

i am, INSPIRED!!!!!

A WOMEN'S CREATION

A WOMAN IS CREATED FROM THE RIB OF MAN
NOT FROM HIS HEAD TO BE ABOVE HIM
NOT FROM HIS FEET TO BE WALKED UPON
BUT FROM HIS SIDE TO BE EQUAL
NEAR HIS ARM TO BE PROTECTED
CLOSE TO HIS HEART TO BE LOVED

LIFE IS NOT ALL ABOUT……

It’s not thriving to be accepted within our society
It’s not about the hates or our selfish desires
It’s not about going to the office
And coming back home late

It’s not about quarreling and making up
Its not the good times we had
Or recovering from the lost of a dear one
It’s not about telling someone how much you care
It’s not about how or where we worship
It’s not about government policies
Not about our parents

It’s not about our wealth
It’s not about growing old
Or is it about been buried six feet beneath
Or getting divorce because you loose faith in your spouse
It’s not about praying when you are in need
But it’s about measuring your life with God
Scaling your percentages
Grading it if it meets God recommendation in heaven
Re: Poetry Contest by ACAN(m): 6:47pm On Feb 25, 2008
IT’S NOT FAIR

See what you have brought upon me
You took one thing that I treasure in life
You came uninvited
And took my pride away
How could you be this mean?
How could you barren my life with sadness
And made my day dark

Why don’t you leave me alone?
What else do you want from me?
There is no more sun in my life
No flower to cherish
No rain to fruit my deserted heart

You have encompassed me with great walls
And have bridge away my happiness
Cause I can see no joy
That worth me still living on earth
Oh death! How I wish you never came
My life wouldn't have been incomplete

in anciet times i dreaded the swordsmen

in not too modern times i dreaded the gun men

in this times neither the swordsmen nor the gunmen
do i dread

But the WO men

blame me not

once, twice and thrice have i read
have i seen
have i experienced

that the fall of a man either great a small

lies in the hands of a wo man.

i rest my case
for in it lies my face
nothin to say
but all i fill.

CHRISTINE

LIKE RAIN DROPS I THINK OF YOU EVERY SECONDS
I WONDERED WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN ALL MY LIFE
I WONDERED HOW SOMEONE AS PASSIONATE
AS YOU COULD BE AMONG MEN
CAUSE YOU ARE ANGELIC IN EVERYTHING YOU DO
YOU ARE ONE REASON A MAN WILL ALWAYS BE IN LOVE

WHEN I SAW YOU LAST NIGHT APPROACHING ME
I FELT CONTENTMENT, I HAD NO REASON TO BE HUNGRY
YOUR SMILE ELICIT THE BOSSOM OF A MAN
YOU CONVEY SO MUCH EMOTION AND LOVE
A MAN WILL BE DAMNED IF AT FORST SIGHT
SEE'S YOU AND DOESN'T FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU

AM SORRY IF WHAT I FEEL ABOUT YOU IS WRONG
I BARELY KNOW YOU YET, BUT I KNOW AM NOT HALLUCINATING
IF I AM OPPORTUNE TO MAKE ONE RIGHT CHOICE
IT WILL BE TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH YOU
IF IT WERE POSSIBLE LAST NIGHT
I WOULDN'T HAVE ALLOWED YOU TO DEPART
FROM ME WHEN YOU SAID GOOD BYE
CAUSE HAS SOON HAS YOU LEFT ME I WAS CONFRONTED
WITH AN EMPTINESS DEEP WITHIN
I STOOD OUT IN THE DARK 21 MINUTES
I FELT MY ADRENALIN RUNNING DRY
I CONTENT MYSELF CAUSE
I KNEW I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN
AND KNOW SOMEDAY YOU WILL TAKE AWAY MY PAINS

I know you're fair,
But am not a seer.
You define ease,
The scent of peace.
You leave me no choice,
Just poetry and this poise.
You'll make my memories,
Flout pride and heart's theories;
A thought in mind,
One of a kind.
Beauty so strong for lines,
A lot stronger than wines.

* A dedication to a beautiful friend.[/center]

Home freedom

Let’s bring it back
Naija is our home
Without which we will be homeless
In a land where people are fearless
We are the lions of Africa
The great living legends of time
Beautifying the sands of time
Where footsteps are honoured
Like the throne of the king
In a land without kingdom
Yet with great wisdom
And freedom
In the land.

RISE AND FALL



Every twilight, A Rise. A Fall.

Every moon, She Rise to its Call.


Every season, It Springs to Fall.

Every Age Rises, in time to teach Shoots its Roots- Past Falls.

@ Franc1982

You write nice lines, sure. Is sun the only source of inspiration? C'mon, this is unoriginal. Sorry to say this: I have a high taste of poetry hence i qualified your lines average coz they're prosaic, i mean the imagery isn't striking. That's me. Just being me!

[center]'Choice'
A very cold night,
Words play their game,
Emotions make me write,
My thoughts are of her name,
Since she wont be my might,
And alluring dame.

These lines are scars,
Sweet marks of choice,
My many thoughtful minutes and hours,
So loveful a poise,
Can bring her the stars,
For my world is nothing but her voice.[/center]

Thanks GEE, it was a selected title for all room members. However, I think I'm obsessed with the sun. How can I get better, please?

Thot i d hook up to dis, !!

'You - Sickness'
You are gone again
My darling dame
Into this wide wild world
Wherein i found you thence
Pining away slowly in a house of sin
Now the visible and invisible mementos
Of your brief while
Plead for your pardon
And eventual return,
They point with hands accusatory
Like the eyes of your breasts
When they require my efforts masturbatory

I harden my heart weakly
Seeking trenchant force
From the spectral reality
Of a cuckolded lover
Yet still,
I feel the absence of your presence
So withdrawn into this spreading web
Of "You -sickness."

'This Journeys End'

Fairly unstable i am
lonely road walked, still i am-
threading i must,onward always
lest i think to end it woely

who am i, cannot tell ever
the me i should be never near
this lonely road, i keep wandering
along a path i know is blinding

live i must, life 'er is short
yet best intentions never reaching
a friendly road which to travel
so onward i must, this journey ending

now i trudge on, ever believing
the silence within only ending
patience,love,changing me slowly
or the end which is mine, taking me surely.
Re: Poetry Contest by nawah1: 1:12am On Sep 12, 2008
'BOUND'

Fetters of iron,locked chains
lost keys,broken fences
falling,deep,down-d dungeon
A loud crash,ashes all over
Down in the deep,all darkness
whispers of hate,harsh commands
unending gloom,unending tears
yrs of languishing,unceasing fear
Feeling 4 d walls,climbing
Falling again&again,falling
Accepting fate ,like an inheritance
days,years unchanging,the pains
Eyes accoustomed to darkness,dark minds
A tiny ray of light faraway,faint
Hesitant,then stretches a hand
Darkness is felt,its overwhelming
still d ray of light-unchanging
so small,yet penetratn-this light
Darkest despair,yet a gleam of hope
Silence all around yet deepest turmoil
The valley of decision,
Cries out,loose me, free me
This ray of light engulfs,it enfolds,it says,FREEDOM.
