The Crater You Made
New Poem, "The Crater You Made", enjoy the read.
I used to only look forward to your messages on my phone,be it a paragraph or even just a word,And I would feel on top of the worldNow, I just wanna talk to any body
I used to love running back homeso I can hold you in my arms,talk about our day and spend the rest of it lost in timeNow, I don’t even wanna be home
There was a certain grace in my life when you were in it,so much life and…

Fallen Short
Art by @sd_creative
To be fair, some things you do
Makes me realize I’m not enough for you
Makes me feel less, knowing that you want more
Plus, I’m such a mess, far from what you long for
Staying forever beside me?
Who am I kidding
My wishful, thinking you’d find none better
I’m hopeful, believing I can do better
For myself, and for us
It’s only a matter of time, I suppose
But…

For The Best
Photo by; @FrankMcKenna Unsplashed
I never knew sadness until you walked out of my life
And my smile walked away with you
I never knew speechlessness until you said goodbye
Words said goodbye to me too
My mind became a vacuum, I was drowning in emptiness
Tears rolled down silently, the heartache was endless
We still had plans to make, memories to create
A family to build and a…

The Over-Thinker
I overthink so much
When you’re next to me, I start to think, “what if one day you’re not?”
Who could tell the affairs of tomorrow,
and just how far into the future can I see?
I’m always bothered by the uncertainty
Even when I’m in a moment, I still have doubts
I’m a product of the world people
Living the karma of everyone else’
Drowning in the shadow created by the light of…

Broken
I fell hard, for you
But I bruised harder
I tried so hard, to keep you
But I should’ve seen farther
Cos it seemed like a temporary thing to you
And I was too much of a lover
Blinded by your “now”
On your head, I even put a crown
Ready to treat you like a Queen
I thought if I loved you more
Then maybe you’d come around
But that seemed counterproductive
For the more I did,…

Dangerous Love
Google images
I feel like a moth to a flame
Always running straight to the bullet hole
Jumping in head first to the deep ends
Rolling my heart on a thorny path
What lies ahead is inevitable
But this thrill, insatiable
She lives life on the dangerous side and I know that
But I’ll risk it all, with no care of the aftermath
Her love is dangerous
But it has me running back for…

Harder To Heal
I could tell you were ready to let me go,
when your light ceased to shine
When the look in your eyes don’t feel like they used to
And the excitement you felt was replaced,
by this cold feeling when your eyes meet mine
I started to think maybe you now see us differently
When you spent time with me, not because you wanted to,
But out of pity
And your cheek to cheek smile started to…

The Rain
Photo by Gilberto Olimpio
While I love the rain,
I hate that it makes everything colder
Especially when you’re in pain
All your thoughts become somber
As the cloud gets gloomier,
Your mind wonders deeper
You’ll feel lonelier
And your hear falters quicker
Sad songs hit harder
Tears roll faster
The heartbroken gets sadder
And time, moves slower
Without company,
Sleep becomes the only…

My Purpose
Dorcas & Henry, #ItsLoveInHD
The first time I saw you
You stirred up something inside me
I wasn’t sure what it was or why you
But something about you was calling me
The second time I saw you
Everything changed
You gave me a reason to chase
And I had nothing to lose
I knew I wanted forever
But I never knew when it’d begin
Not until I saw you again
Everything became…

Stay or Stray
It’s easy to walk away
When it gets harder with every step
The path gets cloudier the more I stay
I come off empty, when I extend my hand to the wind for help
Stay or stray
Am I enough, or am I just a fool in love
I don’t want to lose grip of this fight
I have to find the light
Sway or pray
These doubts are daunting me
Ironically, the closer I get to you
The clearer I see,…

Silk Robe
New Poem, "Silk Robe", enjoy the read
Photo by Antoni Shkraba
Can’t seem to take my eyes off you
As you skin-care in front of that mirror
This is the millionth time, same routine
But I see a different view
Catching a glimpse of your smooth skin
Peeking through the deep vee
Formed by your silk robe
Look at your skin glow
All I can think of,
is how much I want to peel off
That robe, from your shoulders
Exposing…

My Melanin Pt2
Model: @chioma.mmejeTaken by: @musaa_the_man
There she goes
Walking tall and proud
She never hesitates to make herself known
In the presence of friends and even foes
You hate it when she talks
Cos very passionately she speaks
They can’t help but call her loud
But their words can never bring her down
With love as the core of her essence
Confidence is in her name
The weak…

Drunk | Sober
Photo by frank mckenna on Unsplash
It don’t feel the same
When you tell me words you end up forgetting the next day
It does fan the flames
But that’s temporary, cos the heat turn cold when you fall asleep again
Maybe I should be happy cos,
It’s nice when I’m the only one you call
Maybe I should laugh it off
Cos here we go again
“I miss you” “I want you” sounds nice n all
But I…

No Warranty
Google Image
I told myself I would never love again
Cos love doesn’t have a warranty
If I fall in love, do I stand to lose or gain
When forever isn’t guaranteed
When things go wrong you try to make amends
Emotions invested are wasted
Happiness is never guaranteed,
Even when the best memories are made
Then I can’t take back the time I put in
And I can’t get a refund
With only…

My Happy Place
Art by: Sho Stylez (@sd_creative)
We know too well the challenges ahead
How much our desires differ
Steadily, our fears are fed
Yet our hearts still yearn for each other
Many times I’ve thought about it too
How different we are
Then I realized I think about you
A lot more than I think about that
It might be easy to just let you go
Or say we can never be
But I will regret it, I…

MEN in Mental Health
MEN in Mental Health
Man up, show your Manhood, be a Man
When we’re too Manly, we’re Manipulative
Deep Misogyny
Toxic Masculinity, so so bad
But all society does is fuel it
You tell us it’s okay to be vulnerable
But when we do, you turn us to an object of ridicule
Searching for a safe space is nearly impossible
Cos among us, we never know who is the imposter
Masquerading as a friend to hear our…

Slow Dancing
Photo by Alvin Mahmudov on Unsplash
Slow dancing,
that’s how I’d describe our love
Step by step, breath after breath
we dance to the rhythm of the music
When I move, you follow my lead
And I yours, while trusting each other
The next move, predetermined by the previous
Everything is connected
both individual and group actions
You let your guard down for me, but I don’t dwindle…
