Mereia Namatua Poems

You were not there when I needed you most
As a baby, as a teenager and being a lady at most
I tried really hard to think of reasons
To still let my heart cares for you
...

FORM SEVEN 2012
I came in as a foreigner
Waiting for my wings to spread
To experience what the new environment is all about
...

I am not ill, no I am not
But stigma meets me everywhere I go
I am just different, that I am
But how can I explain it to my fellow men?
...

To be able to belong is to feel secure
To be able to belong is to feel safe
But in this world, in this era
To belong is like oil in water
...

I look at the world around me
I see no hope
Yes my boyfriend left me
And I am toast
...

They formed pillars in societies
That are rather patriarchal I must say
Where the men lead
And they are towed behind
...

You stood by me in my darkest hour
You have never forsaken or abandon me
You fulfill all my need
On you I will forever lean
...

They are God's gift
That are like flowers
Nurtured well they will bloom
But if not, you will leave them gloom
...

life as we know
is like a bouquet of rose
its sweet smelling nectar
convicts you to sweet surrender
...

What and if are two different words
That if were joined come out really strong
They bedazzle the minds with their sparkling delights
That might leave one regretting if not joined on time
...
