My Poems: Simple Things by ikfrancis: 12:44am On Aug 09, 2020 |
SIMPLE THINGS (8-8-2020) I used to have no fears Took each day as it came I used to give all ears Even to the very lame I've walked this earth before Not knowing what I was looking for There's nothing left to see It's not as it used to be I need to go back again Just to feel one more time It cannot all be in vain Everything that was once mine Give me one more chance To take one more glance I don't want all this All I need are simple things 1 Like |

Hello (9-8-2020) I've come again to see you I know it's only been awhile I like when it's just us two When I don't have to say bye If you're feeling high low Just call me and say hello Let our words just flow Like we are one soul I'm tired of saying goodbye Of letting you walk by Waiting for the next hey, hi As I watch time fly You know calls aren't my thing I never know what to say Some talk about how they've been Others of their previous day Yet when it comes to you I pick up and say hello And when the time is due I wish you don't have to go |

Very Big Man (10-8-2020) Once upon a time there live a very big man He liked to eat what ever he sees He didn't care even if there was a ban As long as it is food and there are no fleas He continued like this till he was thirty Devouring all that came in his way Everywhere he went he took with him tea So he doesn't have to look for a water bay A few years later he grew bigger and bigger His appetite increased as much as he grew He was not satisfied and became a beggar He felt normal each time he took one more meal The more he ate the hungrier he got There was only little left yet he took as much He went to the market but everything was bought He went to another store looking for lunch One day he woke up and found nothing left He had taken too much leaving a crack Everything was gone save him the only one left And now there is naught but a great big lack O very big man why won't you learn You can't continue like this just for another earn You have to change or face the music Can't you see that the land is already sick. |

A short one I wrote some days ago. The inspiration came from a Facebook post to write a poem on "smile." Smile I feel so high Like I've walked a mile We're all gonna die But for now let's just smile |

Chemistry (12-8-2020) I saw you under the tree Three of you actually My heart felt so free Free at last eventually I tried not to think of you Anew just wanna forget You came as the dew Due to my very regret I'm not good with Physics six over ten in chemistry I was still at the basics see me stuck on three I saw you under the tree Actually you saw me be My heart felt so free Eventually I'm no longer me |

A new creature I'm no longer who I used to be I'm now a another me I've seen the light shine so bright And it has made everything right I used to live in the darkness Afraid of all the badness I used to cry myself to sleep Knowing tomorrow I might not leap O how much I loved the rain For it is what hide my tears and pain How many times did I go on crying Or walked about with my face frowning I'll never forget the painful day although it is a day I'll never say I thought that would be the end As luck would have it, I found a friend He took me in as one of his own He told me all I needed to know I thought maybe it was all a lie But all I needed was to give him a try I accepted him into my life I became his lovely wedded wife His blood took my sins away He set me upon the rock to stay My life became a brand new I am now a part of the chosen few He told me old things are passed away All I needed now was to watch and pray He gave me a great commission He sent me on a new mission He asked me to share the gospel To the world and every people O sinner, how long will you wait Don't you know tomorrow might be too late Give your life to Christ Don't delay, tonight might be your last Can't you see he has paid the price Life is more than beans and rice Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand The maker cometh with all his band He is the way, the truth and the life With him there is no more strife He is knocking at your door today Open it and let him stay |

Do you know? Do you know? There is no tomorrow What we have is today Do you know? Life is full of sorrow We're nothing but clay Do you know? The past is like a seed That never stops growing Do you know? The present is all we need To keep life going Do you know? In other to predict the future We must control the present Do you know? What we call our culture Sometimes hinder our advancement Do you know? In a world of magic Anything is possible Do you know? When you use logic Some things become improbable Now you know |
