[How Much, In Time Of My Life]

How much breath was I given?
How much do I have left?
In Time of my life.

How much grace was I given?
How much do I have left?
In Time of my life.

How much heart-beat count was I given?
How much do I have left?
In Time of my life.

How much long life- race was I bidden?
How much do I have left?
In Time of my life.

How much potential do I have left?
How far can I reach?
In Time of my life.

How much foot steps do I have left?
How far will it take me?
In Time of my life.

How much dreams do I have left?
How far will it come true?
In Time of my life.

How much realities do I have left?
How far will it take me through?
In Time of my life

How much growth have I made?
How much more will I?
In Time of my life.

How much pain have I healed?
How much more will I ?
In Time of my life.

How much effort have I muster?
How much more will I?
In Time of my life.

How much support have I offered?
How much more will I?
In Time of my life.

How much time have I spent?
How much time is left?

Even Sayers won't tell...
How long will HE live in me?
How long will I be able to see my reflection?

His Voice or whisper's
I hear not.

how much time have I spent?
how much time have I left...

soft vengeance

Swept away,
by fragrance of rose'

Breath, taken, slowly away,
by snuffed arrogance, of his nose.

Its his time, to be taken away
Death now in his view,she's so close

She came with her soft vengeance
To take with her, his holy soul...

She 'll lead him to where he'll get bliss-in-full
After-all, Its going to be peaceful

Death and his holy Soul,
Pain free, much awaited welcome home...

[Will I be remembered?]

If I leave

On a sojourn
Never to return
to where I once lived
Will I be remembered?

If I leave
On a stint
Without a print
On where I once lived
Will I be remembered?

If I leave
On a journey,
Never to return
to where I once lived
Will I be remembered?

If I leave
On a mission
Never to return
to where I once lived
Will I be remembered?

If I leave
To take part
In an act'
Never to return
to where I once lived
Will I be remembered?

I have taken
Some paths
Never to return
Through same path

And when I take those path
Some other times,
to where I once lived.
I was never remembered.

Now I leave
On a journey
Into poetry
...On a stint,
to add my print.
Or act,
my part.
As much as I can.

For, when time pass,
And time dust,
have settled, on the past.

And the scent of poetry
from the path I took
In the journey of life
I once lived.
May be by it,
I'll be remembered.

If I leave
Never to return
to where I once lived
Will I be remembered?

This Thought, I continuously ponder.

[Who Else is There To Love?]

You found me, surrounded'
by a half lake.
In your mind'
You see my love for you as fake
But now, you want for me your hand to take.
No, I require no such handshake.

Where were you,
when everything fell apart...?

My Plan for a new start,
Had since require our distance apart.

Why do you have to wait
Why are you so late...?

I realized that someone like you
might not be impossible to find.
Just know that its your attitude
that made me change my mind.

I Might be Unable
to see another day with you,
Verily,
Precious is my love for you
By it, I swear its true..

Why not let the water settle;
And you will see the moon,
mirrored in your being"

Am in love with you..
But my relationship with you,
Now seems so strange.

Even the circumstance
which surrounds us
isn't so straight.

I'd rather lye on the floor
than let my fragile heart
be subjected to your torture

Oh' my treacherous lover
Leave me, let me drown
in these emotional river.

Am already surrounded with pain,
But time will succor me,
It will be washed away by rain.

I appreciate you,
but its too late,
for you;
trying to find me.

My love for you is from within.
Sincerely'
No one Love's you better
than me.
The exact way I feel about you
can't be written in alphabet or letter.
Indeed,
Costly price I have paid since we begin.

Not all we wish, hoped and believed,
Will be achieved.
I have only tried,
But faith has denied.

If true love is what you seek,
I'll advice, you plant it as seed,
Nurture it with meek.
Guard it with stick.
Mark it with trick.
Its will develop resilience,
that is stronger than brick.

You played dangerous game
with my heart.
That game,
was what tear us apart.

I'm not a saint'
And I let you know it.
All you did was to
treat me as convict.

I don't take chances,
No, all I did was maximize opportunities.

I love you.
Not the body of you
The whole you.
Mind, Soul and Body of you.

If we are meant to be together,
Something stronger than us'
Will bring us back together.
Then It will be clear to everybody
That I did not forced our merger.

I remember;
When I first saw you
I saw Love
When I first touch you
I touched Love

After all this while
You are still the one I Love

But, For Now...
Through the window of my eyes
Everyone can see the pain in my heart

Although, there is a vacancy
Love (especially your's) don't live there anymore.

O' God, who else is there for me to Love?.

I DREAM

I dream
Of a flowing river
Not full of water,
But of ink and paper

I dream
Of writing letters
Not of (trivial) matter
But of important matter.

I dream
Of towering fortress
Not for princes
But of books, in excess

I dream
Of living in a world
Not full of raging sword
But a truly safe world

I dream
Of walking through a road
Not with destiny-deathtraps
But one lined with success taps

I dream
Of writing a book,
Not one that will take away gains from life
But one, that will add value by fighting pains in life

I dream
Of something
Not anything that is empty
But something to make people happy

I dream
Of dying from this world
Not to another one as full of sin
But one that is true for its holiness

Dear Friend,
I have tried my best, to dream
If you believe in it,
You too can try turning it into reality

You Are No More My Reality, Saved For Memory

#I don't expect a reply#.

I feel electrified,
My heartbeat do get amplified.
Your thought, is why I'm worried.

I thought I was strong
By holding on'.
To that dim light, of yours.
All these while.

I've kept up the fight
Within my Mind.
Now am so sure, its not gonna be alright.

Actually, I was a weak
By being afraid,
To let go.
But Last night,
I feel so strange,
A renewed energy, to let go.

I feel its really useless
For you, not showing enthusiasm
Yet, you claimed to.

Why then should I
Held on to a weak chasm'

I've never been these nervous,
in my Life.

I want you,
I tried calling you
But you kept, running.

I believe Prayers can change destiny'
I'll pray about mine too.
Life is too short, for unnecessary worry.

I use to dream about you as my wife,
I just waked up, and in my reality
You are clearly missing.
I guess that's what life is.

By my nature, I didn't want these
But right now,
I need to let go'
So I can be free
So I can move on.

So You or I can say "Yes"
To someone else.

Without reservation,
or guilty conscience.

After all these while,
I'm officially calling it QUIT.

Forget the Pretense,
Forget the Lies,
Forget the un-accomplished dream.

I LOVE YOU,
But, its glaring
I CAN NEVER BE WITH YOU.

To be honest
I have always wished for us to be together'
But the time is long gone,
Its too late now.
I tried,
You can't deny it that I try
I stayed faithful,
Ever since.

"I hope and wish the best"
For both of us.

You will always remain a major part of my memory,
But not anymore my Reality.

And after eight(8) years,
I think I should let you go,
Its not been easy holding you in my Mind.
Even though you've left so long ago.

#Godbless You, Anywhere you Are

«Noble September»

~I~

Oh! noble ye!

Birth month of great icorn'
Century a yore had named thou august
Verge of which september is born
And perch of which the noble july is dust

Thy weep of harmony ye pour in grace
In turn like child, ye greatly embrace our voice
Mulled with joy, we dance and dance
And in the belly of mother earth we planted our choice
~
Oh! Noble ye!

We besought thou of an amity "september"
Thy only twin, bare by mother year
Months of grace far not from november
Do dine and frolick amidst ye and october

O Plod in pride to beseech thee
Dodge the forest with thy sharp teeth
Minced with wind, thy whims glee
Thou sped upon the earth, with cool feet
~
Oh! Noble september

Craft with fortitude
your pate we gazed from afar.
Wrought with care,
Thy firmaments, glow like star.

Build in us thy wit and precision
Like flowers in there bulging season
Shadow us thy grace in eminent fashion
Like thy secrets with which, thine reason.

~II~

Thou, Noble September
When July brought the rain
August have it halted
Ye brought back the rain
With it, our heads thou roughly pelted

Thou, Noble September
Thy days are here
Its secret aglow our skin
Our mind is full of cheer.
And heart is joyfully keen
~

Thou, Noble September
Ye painted the sky so bright
our women's lengthy gown
Reflects more light
thy breeze, neither held nor let down.

Thou, Noble September
Each day ye carve
with fine tools of time.
Longer days men have,
but then, they take no notice of bells chime.
~

Thou, Noble September
Spread thy wings
take us yonder
through thy winds
We trust, you'll borne us (to-fro) safer.

Thou, Noble September
Every dawn till october
Thy gift of light adorn
its nights noble men remember
As soul and spirit reborn
~

Thou, Noble September
Ye, has brought the year to its final bend
Thy chain anchored October,
November and December
After which comes the year end.

[SOUNDS FROM GONGS]

I heard sounds from faraway
Sounds of gongs ,to warn us away from our negative ways

Change! Change!! Change!!!
Is all I hear,
A sound so strange
As it filtered into my ears.

I am coming along, he said
Remember your time here
would not tick for long

You all walk along, he said
to a predicted home coming
For home,
Is where you all belong.

You all know the truth, he said
but You all do not know
where the truth is.

Then I made up my mind
to journey in search, "For the Truth".

The path looked so rough
Capacity for it, I do not have enough
  
For me, this journey may be unsafe
But my will for it, and soul I plan to safe

My mind is set,
In search of the truth, I set.

Sounds from gongs, very strong now
Voices from criers, very clear now.

I know for sure,
The right place I have arrived
This is where I belong
Now, I am rest assured.

I Am A Spirit

                        As I opened my eyes
                            In a thick forest,
                               myself I find.

                     Seeing that I am all Alone
                      It felt as if I'm not alone
                             Am I not alone?

                        I heard strange sounds
                       But what I saw is ripples
                     Ripples formed from drops
                          Drops from my blood.

                       And so I raised my head
                  But when I did, I heard voices.
            Fear gripped me, I thought myself dead

                            A voice from afar
                         Threatened me to stop
                          Another from within
                            Ask me not to stop

               These voices resounds in my head
                         Like an humming bird
                         Crumbly fed on crops

                    I heed the voice from within
                         "Asking me not to stop"

                          Deep within the forest
                   Acoustic music the forest unfold
         And with merrily chanted hymn, a feast hold

                          High to the firmament,
                              I see spirit dance
                        Fully basked in merriment
                        With little or no hindrance

                            Like a clown I stood
                        Equipped with cunning ace
                          I Pretend not an intrude
              
                             Thrilled to the heart
                                My fear I Shade
                              Along with an exult
                                I fled an evil jade

                       I was asked to join the merry
                               by forest ferries

                              As I Danced along
                                   To the Song
                      My phobia was chased away,
              with the help of the accompanied Gong

                             Alas' am now a spirit
                                 Not just a spirit

                         but a tatty and jolly Spirit.
