Charmed

-

The beauty of a work of art is its sound effect. It resonate with your heart rhythm promoting a cordial agreement with sound and pleasure. This poetry will heal that thirst.


The talking drum roars in fierce melody

Still, her silence speaks volume than it's rhythm.

Who has charmed her?

Could it be fear?

Whose chains confines her will.

Being her lover,

Her vision is his prisoner.

Her voice drowns in his love

Alas! The streams of hope aflow

Her vision could have a bath

That heart leaps to brace

The sun smiles in excitement

She raises that glossy chin to see

Beholding her new lover - HOPE

She embraces more than just her colour.

She arises above the chains of fear.

She tells him,

Not in silence but with a voice that echoes;

Take another look beyond your illusion:

I am BEAUTIFUL 

I am BOLD

I am BLACK

  Enoch Is an inspiring journey poetry presenting  an unavoidable situations that follows a man whose heart is solidifies on  God. Stroll through the poetry with poet personal as he unveiled the mystery surrounding Enoch. Enoch Here is the man of tongues Who speaks in enigmatic  Speech that reigns in heart  Trending the uncouth leagues To home above On whose natural wet sole  Denied of pleasure feet Shield Yet they dug deep to make marks  Imprinted at every foot prints That bears no count

Dyslexiod

Waiting for a marathon quest; Feasting on every page gallery; Holding up to the wandering gaze  In ecstatic pleasures. Wanting nothing but wit  In its purely refined form undilute. Yet, it all seems like stargazing Forgetfulness another gazing   Guest we've welcomed quietly Even solid relics are now antics I read; you read; we've burnt the night adroitly, When our eyelashes clap tirelessly before resting. How, how can we sail on our utopic cosmos ? How, how can we? How can we manoeuvre our errors quest, When all pathways are made of steel maze; When our sensory power house suffocates, Bleeding floods to cool its tensed nerves. How can we, you unruly child? Now, Let's hold hands no more,  As your romantic journey ends with me. Forgive our unborn treasure Whose pride I've hoped to guide privily From your seductive gaze Till you die in desolate .

Crying stream

  The poem is trying to convey the ills, sufferings and traumatic experience kids who are orphans go through. CRYING STREAMS He walked towards the rock hills The atmosphere seemed to be at a stand-still The sun smiled at him; And the green leaves on the tree, Were waving him farewell. He stared at the herds of lamb and smiled Alas! Those creatures could bring joy to his sad-stricken soul. Up he looked To the sky in anticipation He was seeking treasure Not one that could be measured Nor one that gives pleasure Yeah, it was a very unique treasure. One that brings comfort; confidence, joy and warmth. Alas! A beautiful creature appeared to him........; An epitome of beauty She stared at him and wept. Her tears entered the river banks; They overflowed. "Mother!" He cried out In a loud creaky voice; Sad-stricken with grief. He half-ran; But she was already gone.  Little as he was Innocent as the lambs; Helpless but not hopeless Embedded with loneliness He looked around. The lambs w
