THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER...

There will never be another to hold my hands and walk with me through the dark ditches,
There will never be another to kiss away my tears, while I'm wallowing in my well of woes,
...

GATHER THE ROSEBUDS NOW...

Gather the rosebuds beneath the pearly snow,
Beneath the snow balls vibrating with energy,
...

YOU ARE THE ANSWER

You are the answer to the question jingling in my heart like the bell of a watchtower,
The question I ask myself whenever a new day dawns and the sky changes into scarlet,
...

What About Love Songs?

I try to let go of your hands and unbind the bracelets of lust,
But my palms gets clammy with my sweats and your crocodile tears,
...

IN MY SILENCE

In my silence, I speak volumes of words,
On my stoic face, expressions are crafted,
...

24/7 HOUR LOVE..

You promised me a whole 24/7 hour of true love,
Through out our days, we will fly on Cupid's back,
...

HEARTBREAK SONGS ARE BETTER..

When I left your side, all hubristic but
enfeebled,
...

WHAT ABOUT ME?

What about me and the hurts in my heart?
What about everything I've been through?
...

PANGS OF PAIN

There are pangs of pain prickling my heart,
There are rhythms of pain tingling my soul,
...

BURNING MY MIDNIGHT CANDLE..

Every night, I stay up just to feed my eyes on the scrawlings on my books,
Everyday, I sleep not just to feed my mind with knowledges from my books,
...

I LOVED YOU BETTER...

I loved you better when your heart was still in one whole piece,
I loved you better when your hands get warm within my reach,
...

LOSS OF LOVE...

With strifes in their hearts and heads, they took up arms like plunderers,
They are ready to loot the last hope from our hearts and minds like smugglers,
...

I WILL TRY AGAIN...

I will try again with an air of confidence,
The confidence I lost during my fatal fall,
...

They Ask Me Why...

They ask me why I constantly recoil to my shell leaving behind a timorous trail,
They ask me whether love was a foe, an enemy I would never again forgive,
...

THIS MOMENT...

I don't want this moment to pass us by,
I just want to to get lost in your starry eyes,
...

SINCE YOU'VE LEFT


Since you've left, I've been standing at the entrance of your heart, stiff as a palm tree.
...

LOYALTY

LOYALTY is the watchword inscribed on the walls of our hearts so we don't neglect it,
We will watch our worlds with the torch of the heaven, streaming with sparkling stars,
...

ALLOW ME...

Allow me to hold your hand stiffened and stained with sores;
Allow me to lavish your love-starved heart with my love tales;
...

OUR FATHER'S LAND

On our father's land, we will serve with joy in our hearts while the land is rusty with dearth.
We will sow on our father's land the seeds of labour, with honesty jingling in our hearts.
...

AMAKA DISAPPOINT ME....

AMAKA served me BREAKFAST in bed, she served me a cup of commotion.
She is the thunder that struck twice while the rain was running around in ecstasy.
