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 MCDAN |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

[center]*'Chiamaka' 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. |

@ 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! |
Re: Poetry Contest by franc1982(m): 4:54pm On Sep 02, 2008 |
[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] blackgee: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. |

'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. |
