You say it's love
You can feel it in your blood
How can that be true?
When its all about money with you
...

I stole a smile from a child
I walked with it for a while
It almost made me cry
...

You're the flower and i the bee
You're the root and i the tree
You're the river and i the source
You're the song and i the voice
...

Do you want someone perfect?
Whose skin has no scar
Whose upright at every aspect
Whose dreams shine brighter than the star
...

Which mask should i wear today?
That will hide away my pain
I'll pick the one with a smile
What if i start to cry?
...

She's the apple in my eye
Most think my love is a lie
They say am after her cars and jewels
She always smile and ignore their empty tunes
...

I stared at her nails
As i gave her away
I felt a loneliness
Underneath my breast
...

I've lost the drive to write
Am now like a child lost in the night
Confused and scared
Frozen in mind
...

Every June i buy her flowers
I sit and we talk for hours
I usually have lots to say
Because i miss her everyday
...

You left him saying am the best
That he never loved you and gave you stress
You just wanted to lay on my chest
It broke his heart i could see in his eyes
...

It's been there for ages
Beating the test of time
It's beauty never changes
With season nor with tide
...

Most are afraid of the dark
Creepy sounds and what may lurk
They hide behind closed doors
Imagining the things outside with claws
...

Blood oozed underneath her dress
Her arms feeling her belly with regretful embrace
Not even the tears could undo what she had done
Getting pregnant at her age wasn't her plan
...

The night was his friend
He patiently stood
At the dark dusted corner
He lurked in the shadows
...

When the sun shines on you
Whlie to another
It's all dark and gloom
Give them a bit of ray
...

Every poem has life
They'll live on
Never to die
You can create them however you want
...

I searched in the night
Stars and moon shined back bright
I searched in the day
I lost myself further away
...

I've hold on to this love
No matter what i did
It was never enough
I sang her songs
...

If the world ends tomorrow
I would spend time with family
And anyone i know
I would give thanks to the lord
...

When your in love
You stop caring about the things you have
You start hating the pimple on your face
All you want is her embrace
...
