LOVE SOLVED IT

Image
Two imperfect pieces of a puzzle Striking a balance is always a struggle But we found it in the strands of love Like fires burning in a storm Keep it aflame to stay warm. Yes! We fanned it with the fan of love It is a quicksand all around But a solid ground we have found We trailed it with a compass of love. Hot red burning coal everywhere But we have subdued our fear. We sailed over it in a boat of love Doubts and suspicions sometimes sneak into the recipe Coincidences will make all pan into the scenery But we separate those with the ceive of love Striving to do what we said yes to With sunrise and sunset we grew Every raindrop has helped us bloom Our moon and stars are agroom Love has given us wings to soar Against all the odds we've grown a thick fur. From straws of nothing, we're building a home Hand in hand we will surely make it to Rome. I love you my own queen Beyond the wild's eyes have ever seen Happy anniversary to us.

REMORSE

The wrong foot The right direction Balm will only sooth   Heaven does forgive Humans hardly do With our score we must live   There is the moon There is the sun Maybe we are just cartoons I just breathe the air that I breathe I fall where my feet falter I just mean to right my wrong Hoping you will sing the right song #ThomasTee2emmBot

THE FIRE THE CHIEFS ARE FANNING

Image
 From both sides of their mouths lies spill These consciences have stayed fallow thus it is hard to teal The darkness here is not scared of light The tiny voice inside has lost this fight Those that write right have lost their quill It is not that we are oblivious of the forbidden feast in the village square It is just that we no longer care It is not that we don't know what the roaches have to share Or that the rationing is not fair We are the onlookers waiting for when the fires will flair There is a ghost with a whip Actions are dear but words are cheap We juggle issues and nurse frivolties Who cares since there are no ties to the casualties Administer this corpse a bag of drip This head has been severed from its body The grave will always win, no need to lobby Let the body go where it please You will be surprise how the mountain will go into a keg with ease Look closely greed is now a hobby Without will power will make you a slave Thus let every man dig his own grave The chiefs

THE VINTAGE AND THE PICTURE

Image
I have known joy I have felt pain I have had a toy And I have had a migraine But all of those came at different times   I have had a frown I have had many a smile I have groaned And I have held my ribs from laughter They all came at different points   This time Both pain and joy came simultaneously Both laughter and frown came at the same time This I call Toyorat  

JOY FROM PAIN

Image
There we sat Our hearts racing at the speed of light Then came the doctors in a file Only this time not wearing white Though the wait was short But given the time, it didn’t seem quite   There was an incision Then came the shrill cry There laid the exhausted mother Then there was a lovely child Right there awesome God showed his might   It has been prayers, long wait and hope It all just grew wings and now it is a-fly        

NO WHERE IS SAFE

Schools are longer safe They are now hunters’ cave We came to learn They come to earn   Home has left the home leaving a house Uncles now chasing nieces’ flower like a cat chasing a mouse Fathers are now boxers, wives are the training bags Don’t blame the lizard, blame the many cracks   We used to see the light at the end of tunnels B ut now we sieve the sun through funnels #ThomasTee2emmBot
