Gerald Opio Poems

A teenage girl strolling down the street
Looking around the city and it's outskirts
Meditating in the process
She gazes at the sky and smiles
...

Through the valleys,
I walk...
its darkness threatens me not,
because life has suckled me bone-dry.
...

There has never been a time
or will there be a time,
when my heart will allow me
to love less or reciprocate less
...

Everyday,
You wake up,
You brush,
Go to work,
...

A love never anticipated
One never presumed
As a mystery it happens
Twisting all dimensions
...

At a certain point in time, there was that young me, so inquisitive and curious.
Always seeking out for new adventures, scenarios and experiences.
So naive and ingenious I was, accompanied with a timid mind that was afraid of exploring new things.
I would talk to myself, inform of mediation, just to help me gather some balls.
...

How hard is holding on?
When all you get is being pushed away
By the people you love and cherish
A heart wrecking moment it is
...

I will love you.
But not how I used to love.
Because my heart was toyed with.
My past has been so cruel to me.
...

I am just a man,
With the highest of ambition,
To live a life so high,
So high that supersedes all expectations of the world.
...

Days go by
Months come and go
Years fly
Time passes by so fast
...
