Little Dog Heal My Soul: Little dog, little dog Where have you been? Come into my humble home And lay your tears Howl into my painful heart And chase my fears away Lick my sore clean of iniquity And dirty my heart with purity Show me were there is light Even if there is no light As your sad eyes seeks happiness Come into my humble abode So i can feel joy In the midst of pain |

For cities are laced with legs loitering in lots like a lost calf Umbilical cord some man pulled out today to pipe fuel in tussle Everyone's car need to eat fuel to ease life so fights stretch like a snoring sea Lots are in soup again agonising like a barren bat fuel pleas back to Naira nine. #Jodekss #acrostic. |

I am only me, that is all that I can be No more, no less, don’t second guess I love , I laugh, I live and cry, I’ve wished at times, that I could die Some days I’m funny, others I’m not, sometimes I’m in overdrive and can’t stop I am a loyal and honest friend, You know that I’ll be there until the end I am a young poet, my friends my greatest gift, The smiles on their faces always give me a lift I am a romantic, sensual, and passionate too, to the love of my life , I’ll share thiswith you I can be sweet and shy or sassy and bold, I’m quite a handful, or so I’ve been told I am not perfect, I do have my faults, like when I get scared I put up high walls Or I’m not as forgiving, as I’d sometimes like to be, because when I hurt, I hurt deeply My logic is all my own, at times misunderstood, because I don’t always do things for my own good I have many facets, like a diamondyou see… I am only me.

I've eaten from the tree of knowledge forbidden, And got exposed to the profound flavors hidden Now I'm cursed with the blessings of knowing, 87% of my energies were caged from flowing Though the truth hurts but the truth set me free Yes, my sins found me and my sins let me see Written By Emeka Odiamma |

Hello everyone, i'm indicating interest to join this club. I hope to learn more to improve my literary skills. I have been a silent follower of this poetry section for a long time now. Help me dissect this poem i wrote A DISHONOURABLE HONOUR. The frenzy was just unimaginable Everywhere so buzzing Cards at the marts again became profitable With aroma of berbecue in eateries oozing They said love is in the air Red skimpy wears clutched the pleasure zones of our eves The other parts, the sun treated so unfair Twas in honour of Valentine the love chief of chiefs Down the street was a pitiable sight Tears streaming down the cheeks of a daughter of eve Her boo she had just caught pants down with another in broad daylight She too earlier was with another so brief At the other side of the bend A horror movie beamed live In a clandestine manner a life came to an abrupt end By the dagger of a jealous gang of five Just down here right beneath my floor A man violated a daughter of eve For daring to walk out of the door Without returning his valentine's financial gestures with a cleave As the seconds ticked by, ushering in nightfall. Traffic became mad as hotels and hot spots turned into a place of pilgrimage Concubines sat on the laps of Ogas while baby-making machines became expendables like James bond in skyfall. Condoms littered the roadsides in the wee hours thus painting a sodomic image. In honour of Valentine they say it is, or is it not? I can't stop but keep wondering. How messy it has been for the memmorial of a poor priest who dared the emperor to tie the knot. With this dishonourable honour methinks his spirit is not at peace but wandering. To the people of corinth St Paul bared it all. That love does not rejoice in evil, so it is. To play in our court now is the ball. So lets right the wrongs by loving rightly with ease -Modestdude 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Handwriting on the wall You have been weighed And been found wanting Your offerings have been deemed To be not sufficient for these goddess Worshiped far and near She has become a little more selective And so you would do better Not to bother at all Woman For that is her name At least so it was When I first heard of her She has assumed since then Many names and many guises Some unworthy of her Some unprintable Like many worshippers before me I offered and offered Like many before me My offerings suffered the fate of filth Sometimes she is just a little merciful She does not speak but writes And seeing the handwriting on the wall The supplicant knows his fate As I have More times than I would like Found wanting I renounce The worship of such a deity as this In my anger and hunger My heart turns away from her Who has caused me unimaginable pain Like many before me.

You who my eyes do not know Someday soon I will find myself In your arms again Be it in life or in death Time will pass Seasons will change But I will desire nowhere else But the home of your arms I will know The charms of none other I will seek No one else but you Whom my heart knows Though my eyes do not You who has plagued my dreams And every waking hour I will find you again And it will be As it has forever been If only in my heart My heart has known you My days have sought you My dreams are empty without you Who my eyes do not know And will not Till the day that time will cease And I come to life Never to die again.

TO YOU MISS... Oblivion.. The state of being completely forgotten The inevitability that all would come to an end Accordingly to Hazel Grace. There are few things one is scared of And there are fewer things that scares me. Failure for example Loosing you, Not making heaven could be counted as one also. But the scariest is you not having a memory of me How precious things slips from one's grasp I lost you The soul bleeds to those words The heart can't explain those lines I was careless Thought you would be mine forever But nothing last forever Hazel Grace made that clear I hope you forgive me For never taking you serious Better, never showing you how serious i was about you. You are my very own *Treasure* Always and Forever 3 Likes 2 Shares |

NATURE IN HER She wore the sun as her blouse Roses as her skirt Star's as her necklace And lemons as her slippers She lightens up the atmosphere The best fragrance ever smelled Sparkling bright is all I sensed From her depth, I will drink well So colorful she appeared Irresistible I comment Before she's been told by her friends You are the best till my very end Will like to be led by your sun Wrapped up by your roses Complemented by your star's And drink from the juice of your lemons Written By: @inhalerpjshey For more writings, follow me on Instagram :@inhalerpjshey |

NOT ABOUT ME It eats you up But you cannot say Just how much you wish That this swan song Could be sung another way Swing my way And stay with me So that it's my eyes you look into My arms that hold you And my body you caress What we see instead Is that I am the confessor I hear the tale But it is not about me At least not this time. www.thetravelerpoems. |

HUSH: AN ODE TO SILENCE Silence is the first love of one whose mind is a borderless eternity Of ideas ascending and descending the stairs of thoughtful thought Silence is the sole demand of the creased forehead Of the lingering ball-tip of the pen, as ink partakes of paper Of hesitating fingers poised over lettered buttons before an illuminated screen Silence is the desire of blank journal pages And of their ever disappearing composers Silence stands back like the proud parent that it is To admire art, in song, dance, word, and colour Silence feeds the soul as it assumes a position which is beyond natural As it is transported to realms of which the lips cannot speak Silence is the sound of a waterfall, It is the language of the trees when the wind comes to play Silence is the chirping of birds and insects amid blooming flowers and the colours of warmth It is their absence as dry, cold winds are watched from behind locked glass Silence is the pitter-patter that leaves bubbles on leaves Bubbles composed of hydrogen and oxygen Silence is the twinkling of the stars And the perking up of miniature ears as fables are exchanged beneath a full moon Silence is the occupation of the choking mind When a million voices threaten to drown out its message Silence is the atmosphere of the morning after- After love, after life, after death Silence is the moment of truth, shock, and sorrow Of all the feelings whose palms are prone to giving hard slaps Silence is great company for tears as they roll down cheeks For quivering lips, and the sobs that are ever so willing to escape past them Silence is what the ear translates as emptiness But that which the mind and heart could find nothing louder to compare with On a bad day, silence is fear, and the caging of freedom The tying of tongues while rage is bottled up, and consumes the spirit The suffocation of the inner being Silence is a species of noise, designed for a species of people And each species of people, has its own species of silence My silence, is a weapon With which I hit my target, exactly Like a well-played round of darts Silence is the name of the face of every night’s stand Of the stranger lying in my bed each time you walk into the room unannounced I make love to silence, silence makes love to me And my orgasmic burst Is not nearly a burst It is a ‘hush’- A plea for more More silence www.lapenseuse21. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Being Real, Not Being Hypocritical. That's just me being real... You get me? Not trying to Lord it I expressing what I feel. Days pass, and I sight. .. Every. Bless-ed. Day... A man on clutches, A woman selling wares, Howling his plight~ Displaying silverware. How long will I give fish? Without helping one to fish? That's not enough, I think I'm still selfish. There's a man, a young man... He drags his broken temple Everyday, he prays: Please. .. Help... Me... God... Bless... You... He is crippled by Polio... ...and I feel pierced. .. I should know I feel his plight. It's beyond a mere pitiful sight. I will do something. Anything... 'Cause I cannot continue to feel... ...without me being real. |
