Imafidon Mac Henry

you gave me your words
and I hung them onto my chest
like a rosary I worshipped daily
you promised me
...

My love, I have tried to find a love as you
But thoughts of you won't go away
I searched through a love so pure and true
But forgetting you can never be faraway
...

life is a bird with broken wings
that cannot fly into the sky

life is a barren land
...

A pitiful bird hooting
humming tunes of gloom
perches on the fence of my house 
broken, famished and toothless
...

I'm the poor lad,
You once mocked,
With no hopes to hold,
I was the bat beaten by rust-reeking rains,
...

We have been fooled by 'demon crazy'
Nurtured by same old voices rocking high waves,
Our children injected with their syringes,
Their seats covered with deceit;
...

I don't know how to say it:
I have hunted for a love as you...
but no one has your rhythm
I have crossed through many waters
...

And when I finally come
to the end of this road
weep if you must
but don't be drowned
...

Let them abandon us
like stones at the bottom lake
we sink deep in despair
with no lifesaver to hold
...

My children, the sons of your sons
Were slain by steeled justice
Their voices are muffled in the
Ears of these justices
...

Just like the eye of heaven,
she glows gold, gentle enough
to grease my battered heart
with the mildness of cotton-clouds
...

I look in the mirror and my eyes
reddened by hunger consumes me.
I look up for aid in the sky and
a rain of bullets beat me mercilessly,
...

I slept but my heart was awake,
I tried to think but I broke my neck.
My heart sinks I'm gonn' wreck,
Tears grew to turn a steeled lake.
...

My queen, open the door to your heart.
Let me walk in and reside for everlasting.

My queen, understand me deeply.
...

Don't preach me sermons
When your palms are
From the flames of hostility
And have been washed
...

I live. You live. We live to die.
A day will come that the stream will cease to flow.
The sun, the stars and the moon will run to hide.
The wind will cease to blow.
...

Dear Sir,
never you shut your ears
to the loud silences
of the Lazarus sprawled by your gate
...

Weeping Heart

I gave you my heart
You tore it apart
...

love is a raging fire
that burns through
every sole
every soul
...

Tonight, I could write the saddest poem
Write about the pain that I feel for loving you
Write about the love that was true
Write about my love turned blue.
...
