Faded light
As the day emerges and seems trough,
I grow ever wary of what I do.
I start to contemplate of things that I said,
So tormenting, they unfold from my head.
I bring to mind the time when we had no beat,
Hanging on, not giving in to defeat.
No matter what surfaced on our way,
As long as we were together we would be ok.
But then the atmosphere gave way for our nightmare,
The last flash of joy and the creation of despair.
For our chain to be shattered so easily by a mere fight,
Is what makes me regret why I thought we were alright.
Now we wither away alone and full of remorse,
Our hearts lost and blinded all thanks to divorce.

The widow
Over time things change, but never the heart,
can't seem to move on, still torn apart.
Offers to marry, someone to take care of the two,
I'll never be a good wife, to none other than you.
I still cry at night, when the babies lay rest,
Heard your face was bright, filled with light
I wish I could've seen you
on that crazy night.
To see for myself, what I pray is true,
a beautiful man seeing his life anew.
She asks for you, out of the blue
What can I say? but that we will see him soon,
"daddy's taking too long"
I tell her look at the moon.
God made that, and you and me,
he took daddy, just let things be.
One day soon we will see,
another time, another place,
and then we'll be free.
Don't be sad loving, Daddy's here
I point to her heart
and tell her don't fear.
We are all still in pain
I just sit starring at the rain.
What do I say and what do I do,
I keep trying to figure out things
but I'm always blue.
Grateful to God, that He is in our lives,
without Him I know I would never be able to survive.
Pain and tears,
but hope for Bliss
even still,
its you I miss.

On this lonely path
On a lonely path I found me
Alone I needed a companion
Looked out,none was gotten
Busy people too big to be friendly
Little dirty girl with no care
Who could have wished to be closer
When the forest is quite and still
I am already lurking somewhere to tilt
All the farming seasons I knew and endowed with customers
who will use me till the end of the season
My life was by myself
I needed a friend
The search began,the thinking grew
Not until my pen beckoned at me
It encouraged me to get a paper
The writing started,my ink kept flowing
The diary of a lonely girl
Day after day I fill in my stories
On those pages,I put my worries
On this lonely paths....
Growing took me forever
Especially when there was no lover
Alone,I grew smarter
My life was a broken glass
Many fragments to pick
Here and there with life's trick
As I grow in knowledge
I realised I already hav an edge
With what I call a diary
I am a poet to be celebrated soonest
All on this lonely path!
Alone I needed a companion

Law of Karma
Sore throat from trying to hold back the tears.
shaking hands that rest on her heart.
Sitting on the same chair for years.
Her loved ones so very far apart.
The clock is ticking and the weather is unfriendly.
The sun she once played in was grey and gone.
She never thought that it hurt like this to be old.
She never knew if she'd make it till dawn.
Her five children that she lovingly rared.
Where nowhere at all to be seen.
This feeling she had that none of them cared.
She was at the lowest point she'd ever been.
She wept alone in the house her children had paid for.
She witnessed the cruel thanks for all her hard work.
She ate food of a prisoner and would collapse on the floor.
Her only company in the corner,was where her shadow would lurk.
The day came when she felt an awareness.
The darkness lifted from her mind.
She was overwhelmed and almost careless.
And to sorrow she was blind.
Her soul had left her body and she felt more alive than the living.
Her hurt and pain were at an end and she was more than relieved.
She was done with all the cruelty of age and the grief that she was given.
All the injustice and neglect she most certainly received.
Now sleep and rest with God knowing all your hurt.
Smile and know that from all your pain you gained peaceful wait.
Your children weep as they see your body buried in the dirt.
But where were they when you cried out through that house wit big black gate?
But woe to them who forget their elders, and fathers and mothers.
Woe to them who ignore their every whim.
We must value them as precious jewels, like them there are no others.
Seek their prayers and pray for them for this life is much too dim.
And when you grow old and wither all your petals, be very sure to know.
That life is not complete till what goes around comes around.
And when the kids get tall and their bright eyes glow.
They too will leave you in a room,
then weep when you meet the ground.

BEFORE THE ALTAR
If you will take my words
then give me no wars
If you will save me from pieces
then what you should leave with me peace is
If you will fill this emptiness
then be sure you will never give me sadness
If you tell me never again to try
then vow u will never make me cry
Now you can still my heart break
wait not until i am unable to hold my brake
listen to this tiny voice now
atleast before you make any vow
Altar is so near but let us ourselves search
before we call the world to watch
let us open our eyes wide without a wink
And see how much we can without a blink
Only fools will still say LOVE is blind
Let us arrange inside ourselves before we bind
Of what use is a union that put us in pains?
when normally we are to live in gains
Pls let me know if what you feel is right or not
Before we finally and forever tie the knot!
then give me no wars

THANK YOU
In a dark night,
I felt alone and hurt.
I put up a front of perfection
But was torn and scared inside.
Didn't want anyone to know what was happening.
I didn't want to be judged
Without them knowing the whole story.
Then you came into my life
In the very midst of this bitter strife.
You were there...and won a little trust,
But it wasn't over yet...
I tested you without your knowing
That everything depended on if you passed.
You stood the test and now I know.
You shone a light and brought the sun...Into my darkness;
my fears are gone.
Your care and friendship have erased all doubt.
I know you're there and won't leave me now.
I don't need to be afraid.
There's someone here who cares,
Who will just hold me and help me face my fears.
My dreams are once again;
My hopes live inside of me.
My broken wings are mended
All because of you;
I can fly again.
I felt alone and hurt.
I put up a front of perfection
But was torn and scared inside.
Didn't want anyone to know what was happening.
I didn't want to be judged
Without them knowing the whole story.
Then you came into my life
In the very midst of this bitter strife.
You were there...and won a little trust,
But it wasn't over yet...

You shone a light and brought the sun...Into my darkness;
my fears are gone.
Your care and friendship have erased all doubt.
I know you're there and won't leave me now.
I don't need to be afraid.
There's someone here who cares,
Who will just hold me and help me face my fears.
My dreams are once again;
My hopes live inside of me.
My broken wings are mended
All because of you;
I can fly again.
I LOVE YOU
I am drawn to you like
The stars to the midnight skies
The Earth to the burning sun
Water to thirsting flowers
I am comfortable with you like
An old pair of boots
A faded pair of jeans
My favorite Ankara and gele
I am at peace with you like
Taking a walk in silence in the country
Listening to rain drops fall in the dark of night
I am alive with you like
The laughter that is uncontrollable
The heart that goes thump, thump, thump
Running through wildflowers in the wilderness
Every ounce of my being
Mind, body and soul are riveted by you
I am alive with you, free with you, comfortable with you
I love you
