Poem 1: In Twinkles
In twinkles, Stars become an ocean. In the fights, blows become an ocean too. But why have you allowed yourself to dry up? In the wisdom scrolls, Souls are meant to wake up when the other slept. Get up and clean your tears. Stir your life in a coffee mug and drink it. The world is cruel, I know. Heartbreak hurts so deeply. To be served such breakfast— puts you in a state of endless Pythagoras theorem. Stir your motivation inside a Cappucino. Put off the candle Let all the stress of life find its way out.
Poem 2: Dust grain
I will fill you up. Red wine drop sounds into the wine cup. Every dust grain shines in the Sun. You’ve been loamy inside for too long. Over here, no rotation of the world causes night. It is about shining in the Sun and being like that all eternity. Who dares take you away from Sun? Who dares look at the Sun? Do they want to finish? Do they want to turn into a baboon? Zazuu? Abi wan fe siwin ni?
Poem 3: Fire is Like Humans
Fire is like humans It dances and burns. Turns wood to black. When it dies, where does it go?
The line “Heartbreaks hurts so deeply”
The above line Is everything I feel lately, how you invest 3 Years of your life loving someone sincerely only for you to be left in apt and total desolation.
But like you said,stir your life in a coffee mug and drink it, one must always learn to move on!
My favorite line is from poem 2: Dust Grain
“You’ve been Loamy inside for too long”
This resonates with me so well because of how much I have invested in myself in the past decade, learning, unlearning and relearning new skills so as to sprout like an astral,
But I keep waiting for the perfect time to show the world how good I have become,
Maybe, I am waiting too long.
Been loamy for too long indeed!
So much potentials hidden away from the sun
I will sprout out and the world’s gonna know my name!
