maggie oke Poems

A balloon of bursting tears cannot float
But do not provide the action
Or release the pain too quickly
You might not be able to heal the form
...

You can weigh my kilos
Count my laps
Stretch my gluteus
Extend my baps
...

What do we have here?
What shall we call it

Weekly appointment
...

Singing dancing salsa
Speaking other tongues
Meeting greeting knowing you
Now know the name of fun
...

I don’t think you know
Do you know how much I think of you?
At a penny a second
You would be a billionaire
...

I love you and you have to say it back
You’re the second part harmony and don’t play your part
I love you is an echo’s command
I love you
...

Filtered through the oyster
All the dirt and all the strife
Filtered through the oyster
The pearl becomes my life
...

Loneliness
Can it addict you?
To a daily call
From
...

They were all just babies once
She’s all grown up now
The office bully
Learned to walk
...

You thought I was but I wasn’t
And because you thought I was
You were angry
And because you were
...
