Love Never Stays for Breakfast

29 Sep

 I’ve been feeling pretty bad lately, that I had whet your appetite so much with the ’2 cupid, one heart’ story but hadn’t come through with the final part. The truth is, before you read a post here, it’s been proofread at least four times and has gone through several other editing procedures. It’s never flawless though, but I try.

So whilst I’m done with the draft of the final part, it still needs some polishing. And frankly, tell me, which will you rather; the smooth fluid writing you’ve fallen in love with, or a conspicuously shoddy end to the beautiful story? Thheerree you go :-) . So, I’m rising above the shyous restraint of not having fulfilled my promise to say hello to you. Plus there’s this controversial poem that you just must see.

Love is not fair to everyone. This poem’s for those it’s been unfair to. I thought I’d vent your rage and dissapointment about how fleeting the emotion sometimes is. Just when you’re thinking she might be the one, she introduces you to her boyfriend and you seem silly and needy for misconstruing her sincere ‘dears’ for anything intimate. Love is gone before breakfast’s served.

 

Love Never Stays for Breakfast

She is doing it to me again;

She’s seeing through my eyes

And wiping off my conscience.

She’s holding me still, with that look

She’s unbuttoning my emotions

Don’t Wait Up For Me

22 Jul

A certain sweet girl liked me amorously some years back. But it was at a time that I was a sucker for commitments. The thought of being exclusively tied down to one person made me cringe. She was great you know, and I wanted a way to explain why we wouldn’t work without coming off as a jerk (mission failed). I wrote this, but never sent it.

So to all of you who’ve been loved by people you couldn’t love back, for reasons ranging from silly to nonsense, here goes…

Dont Wait Up For Me

It’s too early in the day

And there’re so many games to play

There’s a party right next door

And a drink-up at the mall.

 

I’m not ready to go indoors

And do all those committing chores

Other Girls’ Boyfriends & Other Women’s Husbands

21 Jun

The story behind this poem is too scandalous for me to utter, but as you read, things will piece together. Rita Arthur has strung the most fitting cluster of words to address something we’re all either victims or culprits of. By how smoothly this enjoyable piece reads, you’ll find that describing her writing as prolific will be merely stating a fact.

This week is Feature Week here on Goldinwords and this is Rita’s first time here, and miiinnnee, what a way to kick things off!!! So enough of my blabbering, I’m handing Rita Arthur the microphone and informing you to brace up; this might just blow your mind!

Other Girls’ Boyfriends And Other Women’s Husbands

Other girls’ boyfriends

And other women’s husbands

Guys who claim to be caught up in

Complicated situations.

Please leave me alone.

 

I do not need or want the guilt that comes with the pain when

Because of the other you all to quickly walk away.

The feeling of disappointment when you cancel our appointment

All-seasons, Loving you.

10 Jun

Hi people, it’s been too long since you were feasted to a down-right, through and through love poem that speaks the words your heart thinks but just hasn’t found the words for. So here you go.

I was in the mood, my mind was ready for a trip, so I just went with the flow. She came to mind too. I wanted to connect the fond feelings that come with holidays to that strong emotion that drives us nuts. Do tell me if I did a good job :-) Enjoy.

All-seasons, Loving you.

You climb down my mind into my heart like Santa down a chimney

You paint your glow on me like decorations on an Easter egg

And get me grinning like an Easter bunny

You set me alight like bulbs on a Christmas tree

Guest Poet Michelle Kangah; Missing You…

20 May

Michelle Kangah is a special friend and a gifted writer. I find that the most appealing poems are the ones that are swathed in simplicity but effervescent with cuteness, and those define Michelle’s work. When I read this piece, I loved it, and I was sure you’ll too. So I tailed her and requested to have it on here for you. She agreed (thankfully) and now you’re in for a treat! She has something to say first though. Michelle…

A friend left the country without telling me and not being able to talk or see him inspired me to write this poem. I wanted him to know how much I’d missed him but I never really got the chance to tell him in person. The funny thing is, if he hadn’t left i probably won’t have realised how much his presence and friendship meant to me…Like the saying goes you don’t know what you’ve got until its gone…so from the deepest of my heart i wrote what my heart wanted him to know, hear and see!!!

 

Missing you 

My heart is lonely without your love,

My eyes are lonely cos they can’t see you,

My ears are lonely cos they can’t hear your voice,

My lips are lonely cos they can’t feel your kisses, Read the rest of this entry »

My Treasure Chest-poem

13 May

This’ one of my all-time best (says me)! Not because it obeys laid-down rules about puns, stanza constructions and whatnots, but because it defies them. Its defiance alone adds to its intended effect; the transcending power of a relationship with God. It was written in the good ol’ Presec days but is even more relevant now.

Maybe you too might find that it aptly describes your love life with God. Enjoy!

My Treasure Chest- poem.

To me God, you’re bingi flex.

When I think of you,

All I can do,

Is beat my chest.

I’m so happy in you;

I never vex.

You ensure that my life

Is never in a mess.

This Romantic Infection

06 May

Say love was a disease. What’ll the symptoms be? how’ll the infection process be like? How’s the prognosis gonna be like? Would you want to be disinfected? Wrote this years back when rhyming meant everything.

 

Like a plucked string in resonation

So is the state of my imagination

When I make any form of communication

With you, the cause of my infection.

 

The symptoms are so evident

I’m so confused, dunno where my mind went

I enter the ladies’ before I remember I’m a gent

On Your Head Ends A Rainbow

29 Apr

When I was little, at that stage in life when innocence was in surplus, and the best way to refrain a child from doing something wrong, was to tell him a story in which the hero never did that or the villain died at it, Granny told me the story of the rainbow. Recently I remembered it, and instead of the discounting it as gibberish in the same line as the tooth fairy and Fada Christmas I thought; if there really was a pot of treasure at the end of rainbows, how’ll it look like?  This short but succinct piece was birthed.

On Your Head Ends A Rainbow

I’m sure you must have heard

About the pot of shining treasure

They say you find if you are lucky

At the end of special rainbows.

My Answers to Your Questions

31 Mar

 Sometime last week I copied an R&B album off a friend’s laptop. I played it in the morning. One song lingered. It was Ne-Yo’s Part of the list. I’ve attached it to this post; the poem is so much better when it’s playing in the background. It’s the koose that goes with this koko. Lol.

It talked about the little, easy-to-overlook things that he misses when he thinks about his ex. It’s not beautiful because of who it’s for or the words in it, but because it achieves the tremendous feat of making an enduring impact using small, seemingly insignificant things.

I was deeply moved and replayed it dozens of times. I wrote this at the height of its inspiring effect. You wonder a million things, like if I’ll miss you. This is the answer. Even I shuddered when I read it over.

 Click on this link –>Ne-yo’s Part_of_the_list

My answers to your question.

The curve of your lips when you smile,

The way you fold into me when we hug.

The way you dance, when the only music playing

Is my soul whistling and   your heart drummingThat look you wear when you’re deep in thought

And the ones when you’re making funny faces.

I’ve lost it…for you!

11 Mar

This poem smears the sweetest words all over you like you were freshly baked tea-bread and it was Planta margarine :-) It describes the helplessness of being in Love. I should know how that feels like, i’m sure you do too :-P    

 I’m losing control,    

I can’t feel my soul    

 It’s rubbing itself at your feet,  

 And purring like a cat.  Read the rest of this entry »

Not All Sweets…

24 Feb

Of all the people you know, there must be at least one person who brings the thoughts of sweet things to mind. You know, those rare people who’re so thoughtful, selfless and unusually caring they make you wonder what good you could have possibly done to deserve them.

I have a couple of them in my life and this poem is about one.

Not all sweets

Not all sweets expire,

I met one the other day,

And all year round,

She was as fresh as fruit juice.

Naked!

28 Jan

This’ one of those poems you think you have all figured out till you get to the end, where its full meaning and beauty blossoms. I love it because it describes our vulnerability to that special person only after having related with him/her for a while. When we’re game, and can only do so little about the situation. Arrgggh, these swirling emotions!

Naked!

Today, I stood before the mirror naked.

I turned around slowly, watching every inch

I studied every bit of me; from toes to head

Then I noticed something extremely strange;

A very essential part of me was missing.

I searched all over, but couldn’t find it. Read the rest of this entry »

Take Your Shackles Off My Heart!!

16 Jul

I liked a girl once, and you know how sometimes you like a person in a way that makes you indifferent to what he/she’ll say when you tell them you do; you just don’t care, but you go ahead and tell them anyways. Well that’s the spirit in which this piece was written; I just didn’t care what Tri…(sorry, company policy forbids the mentioning of names) would say in response, it never got read though, lol.

Take your shackles off My Heart!!

Take your shackles off my heart

So I can look at another girl  and say

“Dear, there’s no girl I wanna be with more than you”

Saying that now’ll make me a liar

Cos honestly, I cant get enough of you.
