For Firsts
A picture for a first.
Or bask in that special moment.
Full of awe and gratitude, someone's going to burst.
It's a first.
Tears of celebration, someone's heart weeps with elation.
It's a first,
And we have every right to be happy

Retribution
I am tired but I can't sleep
I am under water and I am lying to myself....
I can't breath
The days are long,
The nights are uncomfortable
I dread every single thought.
This feeling is not new to me
The relapses are recurrent
The load is but a fragment of what's real
Dammit I am tired but I can't sleep
The memories roll and roll within my mind
The dreams that I force myself to dream are mocking me
The vicious prayers roll off my tongue
I've lacerated every negative feeling
Forcing them to look appealing
The cut to my chest isn't healing
My mind is reeling
I am screaming...
Where did time go?
I am tired but I can't sleep,
Ready your eyes to find me.
I've been lost and never found inside your soul.
Stretch your arms and find me inside this hole.
And as you do that
I'll take this blade you call a heart, and put it to use.
This tired frame is now awake,
And it's ready to give to ceasor what belongs to ceaseor.

The Storm Inside
Don't forget about me
My anger Issues are very persistent
You blurred my heart beat in a different way,
You knew I was broken in two.
But it's okay, at least I am not dead anyway
Show me the other side of your questions
I need a glimpse of positive thinking
Let me feel alive when change you don't mention
(Did you get that?)
Steal away the frustration from within
How are your dark days going on without me
I tore and broke
I destroyed and swore
When you left me
I brought down every high tower
I crumbled every mountain
I swam in every ocean
I emptied every river
I silenced every forest
I was a force to be reckoned with,
I believed
I hoped
I waited
The anger persisted
The urge to kill grew
Baby I got lost in you
Lost in the idea of you.
This anger morphed into something new
And now, now I am as calm as dew
Waiting for the sun
To wipe away my tears
Waiting for the warmth
To remind me.....
When you left, you knew I was broken in two.
But it's okay, at least I am not dead anyway.

I wrote this years ago. Found it in one of my books and thought I should share it. Try to enjoy it
Must have been a crush. ��.F♥️ALL
I am falling for you
Because you would fall for me
I am falling for you
Because that's what seems to come naturally
I am falling for you
Because you are all my eyes can see
In this bright and ugly world,
You are all the color I see
I am falling for you
Because you are my firm foundation
In this shattered world
You are my solid salvation
I am falling for you
Because you would fall for me,
Ten times over, you would die for me
I am falling for you
Because you cared for me
When no one in the world was ever there for me.

Home
It is still and quiet where the birds live
Flapping from tree to tree,
I wonder where home is
A repetitive process it is
Ensuring a shelter is above your heads
But it's in that temporary structure
Where peace is permanent
It's in that chrill cry
Where kindness is loudest
And in what seems to be a fruitless struggle
There is fulfilment
With an architects perfection
With a crafters skill
With a painters grace
And with a potters patience,
The bird is able to establish a place called
Home.

Attrition
There's blood and violence
Gunshots and bomb blasts
There is a mother giving birth
And a child taking their first step
There is a lover falling hard
And a brother getting married
There is a beggar feeding from the dump
And a worker whose bills just flew over the roof
There is a man weeping
And a sister bleeding.
Someone is out there trying to reach their highest high
While another is selling their child just to survive
I am a poet shinning light on all the cracks on the walls of our daily lives
And you.... You are the congregation nodding your heads to every truth filled beam I shine.
Yet in the end, when we are left alone, and our thoughts grow louder than any song,
Everyone becomes a poet.

Thoughts of a blind one
I can hear the birds sing their morning anthem
I also hear the hoes of the farmers, my dad's included
I can smell breakfast cooking,
I think the milk is burning, but the potatoes smell heavenly
I can literally taste the heat form the stove on my tongue
As I chew on some roasted maize mamma gave me
I can feel sisters hands as she guides me towards my little stool beside the window where I can feel the lake.
I feel the irregularities of the stool while I feel for where to sit.
Once I am settled, I begin to imagine.....
I imagine being able to see the lake in its full glory
I imagine how the morning sun would spread itself across the lake like a child reuniting with their bed before leaving for school.
I imagine the colors....bright and perfect
I imagine mamma's little garden with an array of various plants and flowers
I imagine some of these flowers receiving their sight
From the sun's magic touch after a long dark night.
This is my world, full of vibrancy and color
Even though I can't physically see,
My minds eye will show me everything.

Maybe it was in the way the boat swayed from side to side
Or maybe it was the bright colors of his life jacket that sought my attention and had me bulging my eyes.
It could have been the way he sliced through the water with enough vigor to exaggerate his presence.
It was a spectacle, a show for us beneath his boat.
As much as I would like to touch and feel....
He's above and I am beneath.
He's human and I am fish.

#wod #breakup #startCloudy ☁
Flowers wither, wither and fall
Dropping like the remnants, the remnants of my soul
1000 days 1000 calls
It's a pity, a pity that after all this time you couldn't break my fall
I've been falling falling falling for forever
And it has suddenly dawned on me that we were never meant to be together
My heart has died, has died 12 times over
And I can't figure out why I an so darn sober
Its said to be that when the world fades,
The color grey begins to have different shades.
These lines I draw have turned into vines
Creeping up and over my cloudy skies

We have all been there, fallen in love as adolescents and never had courage to tell it! This one is for all that silly infatuation ��
@writersnetwork do keep showering your love! Thanks a lot for the repost!The Letter
I remember I had written
A letter to you
My first love letter
Written in ink blue
I started and scratched
The starting too many times
My dear, my dearest, my love
I didn't know what to write
Finally I gathered courage
And just wrote Dear
Showing you were a close one
Not too far, yet not too near
I poured my feelings for you
Out on the paper with ink
My emotions I wrote
Effortlessly without a blink
I wrote how my heart
Skipped a beat everytime
My eyes fell on you
I felt euphoria sublime
I continued with how
My brain froze a while
When you talked to me
And listened with a smile
The first time you held my hand
I had written about it too
It had sent shivers on my skin
I had felt ecstasy true
I then wrote about
How I dreamt of you
How I wanted to kiss you
Under a mistletoe
I rambled on for long
Writing pages four
I signed off as only yours
The letter then I tore!
I still remember every word
Of my first love letter
Where would we be today
Would life be better?

Read MoreNo urge to write these days ( ' _ ')sucks
My anxiety sits in a corner of my heart
Caged but pricking like a persistent dart
I struggle to make it one with my mind
But it detaches itself as a different kind
So I'm left to cater to the raging feelings
Of railing fears, budding doubts and dealings
Theres a transparent ocean in your eyes
Though which I behold your depth of lies
It bleeds through the blue orbs like red blood
And my heart shatters with each rising sun
I crave they rather be murky brown waters
So I could decieve myself of no clutters
I have never known the address of your heart
So it could be mine forever with no missing part
The veins that lead hide and shrink from me
Like snakes cautious of a predator's machete
I search each green line with rising despair
For I know not the key for your heart to repair

Love's Battle
We are in the ocean of love
Battered but not drowning
We rise up for air sometimes
Then plunge into the depths again
Waves rise and fall like our love
But we ride the tide by its horns
We are in the ocean of love
We are soaked but not shivering
We gulp water and our raging fear
Then cling to the very thing we dread
The waters overwhelm like love itself
But we breath by dreams of our desires
We are in the ocean of love
Cold but not with a frozen heart
We give up and float away at times
Then fight the sluggish waters of defeat
Loving and being loved is a battle itself
But we love and seek to love all over again

It was gone
Like a swift shadow
And I was left
Hanging by a whiff of ink
But that too dissipated
Into untraceable words
I was bereft
Like a lone cloud
In the expanse of sky
And I was unable to
Wet the earth's foliage
With a single cloud of rain
I was restless
Daily I would come here
Hoping to write
Something new and true
And I would stare hard
But my brain was blank
And my ink was lost
I was saddened
Where had it gone
The zest and willpower
The daily bursts of poetry
The exhilarating creations
All seemed a far off fantasy
I left
The residues of writing
Locked beneath my heart
And let life spin me in circles
Let it take me on paths
Far away from poetic heights
That I may be renewed once more
I have a gut feeling
That perhaps my ink
Is wet once again
Dripping dark and poised
To inscribe silver flakes
Once more on this space
Only time will tell
The flow of my pen
Thank you for EC!♥️♥️ @miraquill
Thank you for ♥️ @writersnetwork

These days writing doesn't come easy to me. I fear my ink is fast drying. Perhaps I need to take a dip in the ink pot once more.

I sow dreams as I sow flowers.
Let them rest, let them grow and then blossom.
Age has shown me a complacent smile,
how to not haste time,
to be resilient and above all to be kind.
Because it takes a lot of kindness to wait for
your dreams to come true,
and a lot of presence to know when they have arrived.

1. Out of sight, out of mind
2. Absence makes the heart grow fonder
He
Without you, life is going to be tough
Your virtual presence is not enough
Frightening is the thought of losing you
If you think I feel insecure, it's true
You'll receive love no matter where you go
and like a bright refulgent star you'll glow
We do not know how long this phase will be
But certain things I can clearly foresee
Soon, I may become a blur; that's my fear
Some heartbreaking news I may get to hear
In due course you may find a better mate
I might be abandoned and left to my fate
The thought scares me though you're faithful and kind
Haven't you heard, "Out of sight, out of mind?"
She
This distance is our destiny; that's true
and to change it, nothing much we can do
But countless lovers have gone through this phase
Ours is not going to be a rare case
Our love is true and it'll pass this fire test
Here's a chance to prove our love, so feel blessed
Your virtual presence will comfort me
Try to be as happy as you can be
Be it a day, a month or a decade
My love will never diminish or fade
I'll be your pillar of strength; you'll be mine
Like a pearlescent star, our love will shine
Stay focused and don't let your mind wander
I'm sure absence makes the heart grow fonder

To become wise
Do not accept me for "who I am".
What a foolish thing to say.
I am a selfish and wanting man.
And you are no different in any way.
Never had there been a man of wisdom
Who was born that way inside his kingdom.
He demanded wisdom of himself. He would accept no other thing.
So I will not accept your foolishness and hate. I will choose someone because of what she may become.
And we will grow together.
Push each other.
Strengthen one another.
And become wise.

my breath is blue
cold and forgettable
in this dark room
and with my eyes closed
composed of a mind
and all its follies,
that I cannot switch off;
i am lost, yes,
bless'd with a life
i never would have
known otherwise,
of minutes, mountains and
stones, wise men; a home
and sun rise,
here on this rock
me and so many like me
will die, pretending we
never would,
consuming blood and wood
even burning the forest down
'tis his kingdom, filled with
people bad and good,
some mad and filled with
scars and broken days
then there's that who
has no need for a place,
some wear stars and some
wear no face, some are meant
to die, some meant to stay
some go away never to
come back, some find
grey days soothing as they
pass by, some live
in good-byes, and some dye
themselves, some don't cry,
some won't die, and we'd
watch them live forever,
whilst we break our lies,
i live the lies too, yes,
but that's more bless'd, in
this storm of illusion,
outside this dark room
where i bleed away bits of
me, everytime i step out,
loud noises and the clock,
to break me down,
silence louder than words,
empty air for me to drown
trapped in a circle 'round
my neck,
eyes to dream me a crown,
and a mind for the countless
worthless things i've found
gagged and bound,
in the deepest layers
miles deeper than my skin
sinking, and inking my
breath blue.

Mirror
When I look in the mirror
I see the world beyond and behind;
Peeping from the compact space
As if hinting that there's more to it,
Promising that there's more to achieve
There's more of what I can see
More to what I want to see
More than what I can see
And more still of what it wants me to see
A catastrophe hidden behind the abundance
an abundance that appears finite to me,
finite enough to capture.
But can I capture the peeping presence?
Can I get the "more" I hope for
As I look into the mirror?
When I look into the mirror,
I see a peeping opulence,
and a stunted lack in the figure
that dares to face me.
I see the dearth and hope for the lavish.
As for the lavish,
I don't even know what it is anymore.
When I look in the mirror,
I see flaws, lack and dearth,
I see the tongue hanging,
Saliva oozing,
The desparation and want
For what I don't have,
The distaste for what I do.
I see the scars,
I see the fat,
The abhorrence for it all,
and wonder in angry silence
If ever I'll not be appalled!

I take a peek inside,
A dark place to hide.
No where else to go,
Get to know my soul.
Thoughts popping in my head.
Around and around again.
So I know the deal,
Nothing is for real.
I chose the road ahead,
Not to fear the dead.
Not to think again.
Just Imagination.
