ODE TO LIFE

ODE TO LIFE Life is a mystery Some say it's a misery Slithering off like a sly snake when sought Coming to bite one on the nose when ignored Its terrors, inducing shudders, imposed on mortals Its pleasantness, served on a platter of gold A bubbling sweetness, impossible to resist Life, like a clear spring trickling over a bed of black rocks Capitulating at the gentle tug of its chosen Reining back in disgust, indifferent to the undertow of the desperate Life, like a firewater pool Its beauty and sweetness out of proportion A grim lover A pleasant reaper Life, the most sought The least earned © Augusta Augustus

THAT COLD NIGHT

A night with the moon shimmering down on her skin of perfect porclain, the spherical pool of blue, the gleam of stars rippling above its icy surface like pearls of light, a mesmerizing call to its admirer. The lake, an allure in its state of glassy frozenness, yet enchanted by the love and hope in those eyes. The pine trees whispered in sympathy, awed by the longing in the heart of the girl by the lake. The rocks, paying homage to a such dogged credence, so strong, as strong as itself, standing guard to the regal mistress with an undaunted heart. A mistress who could stand the icy bite of the wind, a woman who was unperturbed by the spooky sounds of the night howlers and undisturbed by the thought of lurking evil. A mistress who sold her heart to a man whose heart had been stolen by the sea, and yet she waited, waited for her sailor, waited for her sailor whose merry heart had forgotten his mistress. For the upteenth time, she stared into that cold night, a cold night with a ...

SINS OF THE PAST

Olive had just shattered my heart Did I just say heart I no longer had one But I was in love with her We were the perfect couple But she broke it off with me in public I had murdered sleep I had nightmares I couldn't help but think My past had caught up with me I had robbed an innocent girl of her innocence I had killed her pride And now olive exerted that vengeance by putting a knife to my heartI killed her joy She murdered my heart I can't help but weep Because I was the reason for someone's pain Now someone else has caused me so much pain that I don't even have the strength to heal If only I could turn back the hands of time I would not even hurt a fly But now the sins of my past Have shattered my heart and I am all but a battered soul © Violet

THOUGHTS OF YOU

THOUGHTS OF YOU The first time you came my way Was addicted to you already by the way Thought I would get over the thoughts at least But no way you were my playlist Foes called it a charm But when you came closer, no harm Friends hinted mee a gold digger Mee decided to go deeper Mixed feelings got in the way of vain search In then, I realized how much of mee you've touched They concluded it'd be chemistry This sweet feeling I never wanted to be history I wish the blissful feelings go never So we'll live happily ever © AirMee_Sammy

YOU

I need to write to you Because you are my most important reader. Some days, you won't be the best Some days, you won't feel good enough Some days, you will let all the negativity in and let it drown you Some days, you won't win the raging battle within Some days, you'll see yourself through the scrutinizing eyes of others and pick every part of you apart Every tiny detail that makes you You and you won't see what I see You won't see it because the vision of you is clouded by the tears in your eyes Draining away all the sorrow, in the moment. Because the cycle might never end But we can only get stronger at drawing ourselves out of the depths And in all of those days, I want you to know. You are enough. You are beautiful. You are more than meets the eye. You have a lot to offer. You are an asset not a liability. You are stronger than you know. And one day, someone will see rainbows in your flaws. And that someone is you. poem by: Agboanike Ni...
