Melody Thaila Kuku Poems

Like the knight of sleeping beauty,
He slash through my heart.
Tearing down my courage,
Shattering my resolve like a wine Glass.
...

My blood boils,
Its steam beating against the sky.
Oh! if pen were a sword,
Then let it be that i slash at their Hearts.
...

When the bushes of our black mother.
Lay uncut,
And we waddled about with newly weaned feet.
A hand sweated with a ferocious pen,
...

Bad Engines, faulty parts.
Who cares? It doesn't matter, we'll fly anyhow.
The ear is filled with slapping of currencies together.
Who cares?
...

If ere i am given another chance,
i would love you again and again.
I would put my hands in your clasp.
And sail with you to the moon.
...

I watch anxiously as the children gaze at me.
Is it the time? i wondered.
When the blood in me will be sapped by drunken men,
And my teeth be plucked from my mouth?
...

That golden moment when the world stands still,
Heart beats are calm,
Time pause a while.
But then the silence is broken,
...

Tell me what you think of my love,
Is it cold or hot?
Does the coldness of my heart,
Chill your soul?
...

The voice coming across the seas,
He could smell the aroma of thick passion,
In a gentle air.
Strings of music play melodies foreign to the heart,
...

Listen to the heart,
It sings.
What songs?
I know not.
...

Life's glass is misty,
It gives a hazy view.
Once a child's thought i stumbled on,
And from a child's eye i peeped,
...

I trimmed his hairs,
And spent hours grooming him.
With tenderness,
I laid the bowls of meat and milk beside.
...

I'm alone,
In the cold of my choice.
They will not understand,
How can they?
...

Freedom is not yet freedom,
But a slavery where men are Slaves to civilization.
What good has it brought?
We have freedom that men call, Mortal Rights.
Yet we are slaves to Unions of the World.
...

Borne from the womb of deceit
washed in the river of betrayal
Foes to souls who trust
Destroyers of the guiless
...

If, only if i had a gun,
i'll coax your thought with the muzzle.
Then i'll watch you tremble
And your kneel betray the body.
...

I sat still,
Under the soothing shade of the crooked tree
By the sensual Lagoon front.
I picked a pen,
...

18.

In your eyes,
I see mysteries,
And like Gulliver,
You chase adventure's tail,
...

Yes, you try
To see beyond the walls
That shields my heart from thy sight.

Yes, you try
...

All i ever wanted,
Is to swim in love's ocean.
All i ever wanted,
Is to be me and only me.
...

The Best Poem Of Melody Thaila Kuku

Fear Of The Unknown.

Like the knight of sleeping beauty,
He slash through my heart.
Tearing down my courage,
Shattering my resolve like a wine Glass.

He has stolen upon me in the Dead of the night,
With the darkness as his shield.
I look and wonder.
What brings my heart to my lips?
What shivers my spines?

I peer and peer, think and think.
Yet, i see not his face.
I try to fight, but my strength fails.
Almost defeated, i am,
For he is the meanest of his kind.

Show me thy face o slayer?
Nay he says, 'for you cannot know me'.
I am the dark that looms in every man.
I rise to conquer when my brother Failure,
Stares mortal in the face.
Dare not seek me for i am invisible.

You will ponder dawn till dawn On me.
I am a conqueror vanquished only By faith.
And till knowledge breaks upon You,
I will hold you in chains.
Know me now?
I am fear of the unknown.
