Poem my creation

Haven’t you pondered on wonders

Do you not question genes of your origin

 

Well, DNAs of your composition do vary

Process and placement do call for art though stylish

Conception of your form is meaningful though arbitrary

 

Conceived to whispers of stimulative thoughts

Born to scribes of ink onto faces of paper sheets

Revealed to sight in trace marks ...

Narrow View

It has only been few decades living

I’ve closed my heart to keep out cold

Watch mentoring reels to fuel desires

Lock the doors to let thoughts wonder

I guess, this is what’s like chasing dreams

 

Guardians caution to look after others

Experience teaches guarding your own

I chose distance. Serving love on phones

Share walls with strangers of same goals

Justifiable prin...

Little By Little

Loosing creativity for common ways

Saving time & effort with proven ways

Enthusiasm dimming, I’ll keep the desire

I guess, real manhood surpasses pleasure

 

There aren’t right choices, it’s the reasons

I try right actions, correcting last wrongs

Is it really living if memories easily blown

I guess, there’s longevity in slowing down

 

Times never really change, it’s pe...

Sweet Home

We were sitting by the fire.

Healing our wounded memories

By sharing what we all remembered.

Laughing at what was serious, now funny.

We were whole and home. Home sweet home.

Counting Years

Too grown for home I know,

Too small for dreams I envision

Jammed between 8 to 5 daily

Carving rocks and paving paths

No step is little to take, I move

 

I became a man before the age

Witness pretty things peers eye

Some I could have, yet I do not

I weigh choices against values

It is nice, I take what suits me

 

I have set goals for growth sake

I disciplined...

Learning It All

I set my phone on silence to think aloud

I got ringed for help, I am helping me too

I thought aging was growth, redefining it

It is losing the hard to replace characters

Taking time to break & rebuild flaw traits

 

I paid for knowledge with beans I picked

Schools I went to were built for capitalism

I got here just to learn, it’s all about money

I see, there’s more to buc...

King's Sins

I would have been a Lion

Preys would have perished

Shaping me into the King.

 

I would have been a snake

Hunted for mystical beliefs

Hissed to life by holly man.

 

Now that I am a living man

Ambulating land for survival

What should my sins be?

The Noisy Silence

I am deepened into thoughts often

I hear a lot that way, I process like that

This is me reaching out with emotions

Easily misinterpreted message perhaps

Still, I am communicating with myself

 

You cut off needs conveying feelings

Gave me rejective silence as retribution

Persistently asked for emotional spills

You don’t need words to read the feels

A touch of comfort ...

All I Needed

I have hoped from identity to identity.

Searching for the one fit for my skin.

Beat myself up on body features I got.

Wishful thinking of beauty, ooh my God.

I didn’t know, self-esteem is what I needed.

 

I listened to any adult, in search of wisdom.

Doubtful of my thinking against conformity.

I learned that ignorant adults do teach too.

Inducing their views on keenly en...

Grooming The King

I left the spotlights to build the King in me.

Dancing to the blues alone with a busy mind.

Looking back at faces I tried to buy, silly me.

Even those who mock us aid to our maturity.

I find roles to play, no more throwing blames.

Wishing good fortunes to brothers on grind.

Saying farewells to fellows we parted ways.

 

Seeking growth in other dimensions, age is free.

So,...

New Year, New Games

Mind laying roadmaps to uncertain future

Leaving the past, there's nothing new here

Moving to contusive places strategically

Taking chances with faith to score wins

Still, I do 'sin when seen' here and there

 

The power that blesses us is not selective

We just take turns, I ready my cups daily

I won’t pray for better handouts anymore

Neither will I beg for what I can ear...
