Broken Resolutions

Image
"I've seen the world in a glance And it's beautiful Despite our cruelty...." The candle went out before the last line The paper still lies blanketed by dust Like a few others craving the tickling tip of a pen. 2 years plan to change ground This is the second of the two Orientation changed but the ground stayed the same I guess abortions don't happen to babies alone Broken ties and pacts New nylons to fix them back But they seem to have defied all tact It seems to have been a year of clumsiness Promises broken even before they were made My nephew is yet to get his chess board My niece is yet to go out for that vanilla ice cream And Blessing is yet to get a make up for her eluded birthday. I could as well promise only to fail again. The year seems to have beaten me to the finish line She went from January to December I'm still struggling to leave the cradle of January.

WAR

Image
Soldiers sown in the field And bodies usually are the yield Bodies of strangers, friends and colleagues Leaving survivors with long lonely monologues Rendering life without taste or feel   In this clash of elephants The casualties include animals, civilians, even infants. That is to say but the least. Vultures gather in circles to feast On the remains of once beautiful living beings.   Where then is the profit of war? When rebuilding cost so much more Both humanly and materially.

WASSE ROCK

I can tell your are not just idling here Tell me the secret your heart holds dear I can hear you even if it were a whisper. I can feel your heavy presence Like the unseen shadow of a stalker There is something in the dark air you breathe The corners of my eyes keep catching glimpses of your dark hue Till I shriek from the fantasy of what you may do Even my shoulders drool from the weight of your presence I have fancied you in songs and lores But here in your face, I'm not sure what I feel anymore Now I know to beware ere I jump in a cheer. #ThomasTee2emmBot

IT'S JUST DAYS

Image
I have seen 14,976 sunrises and sunsets I have seen same number of moons in the glory of stars I have slept on 14,976 nights (Well I might skipped some) I have seen 14,976 Christmas lights I'm still waiting for the ones to come I have seen 11 leap years But I can't remember if they played our superstitions In the course of these 14,976 sunrises and sunsets I have met the kindest and the ugliest; I have been my happiest and I have been my saddest; I have been my coolest and I have been my craziest; I'm yet to go gray, so I know I'm not my wisest But it's all in the count. Come tomorrow, I will see my 14,977th surise

THANATOPHOBIA

Image
I fear that I might die But this is what I dread the most How would it feel for my soul to watch my wife cry? This thought is all sea without a coast I smell the stench of the rot of this life But how will my soul cope with the stench when this flesh rots in the grave? I'd rather live here, live through each day in strife Sometimes even a coward needs to be brave I fear death because of the those that love me I dread death for my own selfish reasons Whatever the reason be Death never has a right season

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATAN THOMAS

Image
My day dawns when your voice tickles my ear drum Loving you daily is a duty I must perform You are my favourite classic song You perpetually will be on a replay Roses talk but today they are inept when it comes to what I have to say Today I have a bucket list of a million things You bind them all like a titanium ring You are where my sun rise and sets If I keep staking here, I’d never lose a bet Sunrise is promised tomorrow but we are not quite So now and today is all we can claim as our right Reasons for which to smile these days are too few And mine is and will always be you You are my recliner while watching the beauty of this world of ours Let’s build our own watch towers You smile with the sparkle of a million stars You have healed me of my ugly scars  Loving you has helped me sail this lonesome universe   Let's dance into the quietness of tonight You and I, jettison all fear cos today just feels right Let's run away to our beautiful memories Let's be scout...

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.
