Gabriel Jirgba Poems

I tried to make it different with you
I tried to be a better person
I tried to let you know you meant a lot to me
Was I to know I was playing it all wrong?
...

I spoke with a homey yesterday
He is a writer -not a poet though
He and I are familiar with each other
He is the author of the novel 'Heart's Journey'
...

Give me a chance,
Give me a spot to stand,
In your world -in your heart-
Give me love that's mine to keep
...

Of the most beautiful things,
Of all the things we have here on earth,
The things which to the mind, give-
A satisfaction none could ever define.
...

My heart has never been broken,
And I've never really had a friend
I, infact, don't even know what love is
Yet, I sing it like I know it all
...

There was someone I loved
I felt lucky, happy, blessed
But I was young - naive
Certain things could not keep 'us'
...

I took from you everything I needed
And was full of it
I needed your love
You were here
...

Most times I wish -within me-
That I could have, before me, strings
Strings attached to my heart
To the inner most -darkest parts
...

Days have began their count
Rushing slowly -yet counting
On the morrow I may be gone
School is calling
...

Up n' fast...one's, two's Speedily was the sylph Sprinting fast and swift Like a wind blown silk So fast also was the air With the speed of a flair In n' outta her like a whirl To the halt: as she scoot Racing were hearts-Will she psych?
Will she bring home a gold Sphinx? Someone's overtaking her; Alas!
Now on high pace; hopping track fells
Faster n' faster-She's making a pair
...
