Leave out the syllables that confuse, Lose the meter and rhyme, Lecture not on my choices of Hughes, Listen only for that rattling enzyme. Endure my wit and Godly satire, Enjoy the pun and poignant farce, Ensure not to completely admire Ending my sentences before the parse. Now in the middle of all these Nuances […]

The cloud does not hold these love legs, think of how I fell thinking it owned a bed. There was my tongue swearing about the dregs that lived in my heart, the tomb we misread. Hallow be those words that fell from the tree, healing broken roads, healing tearing tears. How did I spread those […]

Age is just a number not a counter At the right time, things will fall apart Alarming are the words from a banter Advice is to live, not be pushed like a cart General belief is ‘Education is key’ Going further, I say ‘School is the lock’ Gather (students) like a swarm on a tree […]

Emotions would fly, eyes would turn red Hearts would sink in ocean of doubt Friends would go far to turn their back Everything seems smooth with few bread The sun would rise, and go back to bed The moon would shine till it moons out Evil would rise when the day grows black The road […]

My dear son, please stay on the right track Be kind, respect all that you meet Obey the words that I’ve said to-day Say thank you when offered a snack. Above the ice life is a brutal smack Rules are different in the street Virtue is what we put on display Vices on the heart […]

There’s a fish in the stream you can’t catch. And it always swims to the edge. Drop the hook and it will eat the bait, Then swim away without a scratch. Once best friends the streets will always snatch; Sometimes I feel like it’s his pledge. The way these youths for their time can’t wait. […]

I see you aiming to climb, Plotting your rise, your strive, I see you lifting from the floor, Crawling on pebbles and flying in style, Same you I sipped gin with all night, While we spoke about bringing others down Wishing them bad and making them frown. How about last week Thursday? When we waited […]

To love a poet is a trap, Into your strong weakness, they tap, Be a bit careful when they speak, They know how to play around words, Ask me. I’ll call them ‘heartbreak lords’ Their emotions don’t always leak, Even when they’re in love, they hide, Pretending not to care with pride, Try to leave, […]
