WHEN I THINK OF YOU

~WHEN I THINK OF YOU~

You are a lesson I never wished to learn

You are a case I never wished to study

You are a journey I never planned for

A poem I never wished to recite

A play I never dreamt to be a part of

A test I never prepared for

A character so shrouded and so imaginary

I never thought of meeting

And that is what I think

When I think of you.

WEAK IN DESCRIPTION

~WEAK IN DESCRIPTION~

You ask me how much I love you

Why do I love you?

And I run flat on words

And I begin to think

Finding what to say

While knowing nothing to say.

If you ever continue to ask of me

My love for you

Please don't get offended telling me in tears

That I don't even know my whys for loving you.

I don't know- and I wish I knew

For I feel sad, really sad

When I hear you in your thunderous voice

Rumbling those words

But I love you-heaven knows I do

And my heart will bear me witness

As my soul confesses of these truths

But I am sorry I cannot tell why

For love cannot be explained but felt.

I love you, and the love I have in my heart

Is so much heavier than my lips

Could lift in utterance.

SACRIFICE

~SACRIFICE~

Sitting alone does not suffice

Waiting alone

With fingers crossed

With hopes

That I shall show up

Show up, that waiting and-

Waiting shall not be in vain

Though may drive you cold as ice

And time even though

Wiles away, will be worth wasted

I know, it is very difficult

But that is sacrifice

And we still must sacrifice.

THE JOINT BRIDGE

~THE JOINT BRIDGE~

Whenever I walk pass it

It reminds me of us

The old memory holds my feet

To look a bit longer.

I get thrown into how we,

Always said we will be like it

For the motivation it gave us.

The bridge that has been joined ,

For so many years.

Even before we found ourselves under it

Still holding onto each together.

Even with it deep cracks;

It's still holding and looks stronger.

But we, we couldn't make it thus far.

We have broken-

Unlike this ancient bridge.

We left hold, have given up.

We failed at our love

Unlike the joint bridge.

I DON’T CARE

~I DON’T CARE ~

After my father left.

My mother's love for us,

Grew wings-

And flew away from us.

But if it has found you,

I don't care.

I still love her like God,

Will always love her.

And I don't care

If I don't matter to her,

Like I did.

I don't care anymore; you can have her.

Have her to yourself, and by yourself.

I don't want her anymore.

But I still do care, if you maltreat her.

But I don't care.

INDELIBLY YOU AND YOURS

~INDELIBLY YOU AND YOURS~

It's forty-eight hours and over

Yet your perfume still sits domineeringly

Beneath my sweaty armpit.

I can vision

The scent of your Cologne

Will clone me,

Beyond the recognition of noses

That are fond of me.

Why so indelible my dear,

And everything that art thou?

---Fampah Coyish---

THAT TIME

~THAT TIME~

The time we wasted twerking

Was time spared man to improve

The time we wasted on looks

Was the time meant to read wholesome books

The time we wasted doing nothing

That time, that quality time

Was the time borrowed mankind, 

To become something.

IT'S A HEART

~IT'S A HEART~

It's a heart-

Not a toy.

You stole my heart,

And now you're playing with it.

Mind you it's a heart,

Mine only heart-

Not a toy.

~A NO GOOD HABITAT~

~A NO GOOD HABITAT~

She told me she is sorry

There lies in her a dead sea

That no living thing could survive in her.

Anything that goes in comes afloat!

And no matter how deep my semen may dive

They could never win the race,

That she could not carry my kids

As tadpoles in a pond;

Though under her like any other woman

Sits an often-moist wound that shall never heal

She has no womb like I think she does

For the gravity in her has lost its force-

For as Jupiter, so is the atmosphere

In her womb; no sign of life

Just poisonous gases,

And thick rings of miscarriages

Surrounds her Ovaries

For like Pluto anything that nears freezes

'I'm just a no good Habitat.'

But I said to her:

“Let me dive deep, for even in space

There's hope as men hop on the moon

While the universe around floats!”
