ISOLATION
By - Armani 💞
When life seems to be an empty glass in which you scream alone,
your voice returns with an echo to say,
“Everything is absurd.”
You ask yourself,
“Is there any meaning to so much loneliness,
to so much sadness,
to so much nothingness?”
Let me tell you,
life is not a riddle.
What if your pain is not in vain?
Don’t back yourself into a corner.
Step up to fight.
In the end,
you must gather the courage to live with the answer you receive.
You are merely a blank piece of paper in God’s hands.
Listen to how destiny’s pencil inscribes the parchment of your heart.
And follow your calling.

A child of the stars
By - Lu. 💞
I brought the moon back
to the dark night
Found the wolf at
the shadow of the light
He howled telling me
How incredible I am
Making me understand
Why I'm upon the land
The moon carried on shining
Showing it's phases
Carrying on the light
Of the different faces
Wolf could see them
When would come and go
When the moon was full
Showing off it's glow
The New Moon came up
Wolf then would hide
Within the darkness:
Absence of the light
The child of the stars
Danced upon the land
Awaiting the return
Of whom could understand
The mountain with no peak
Is yet to be found
But when I hear you speak
I'm far from the ground
I live to follow
And in following I seek
The day where we will come
Together we'll meet
In seeking I follow you
In following you I seek
The wolf upon the land
The mountain that has no peak
I know it won't be now
Possibly not so soon
No regret within the sound
Of listening the wolf from the Moon.
How To Die
By- AcuTech 💞
You held me, hanging precariously
From your wizened, sinewed yet
Strong branches
All I had was my glistening
Youth, charisma and truth of heart,
In the depths of your distress,
You looked past my mess,
And out of my regress,
Found fortune and not an illusion,
Yet the season was not that
Of the ides of March,
Rather the bending of the sun
And moon were asynchronous
To our synchronous symphonies
Enclosed in bitter shrouded
Epiphanies of the tales of Old,
They key lay in the
Sarcophagus of the secret,
But you guided well your secrets,
Choosing to withhold
So as not to lie,
But I lay in the shadows,
And when as such a time came,
It dawned,
The secret was how
To die
YOU (Part III)
By - AcuTech 💞
My brother Brian tapped me on the shoulder, And pulled me back from the
Riveting, drugging, reverie you had entranced me in,
I almost hurled all sorts of insults and curses at him, for this great unforgivable atrocity,
Something I rarely engaged in,
He was somewhat taken aback by my reaction,
But I had no time to even dare explain my behavior to him, I had to catch a glimpse,
A glimpse of your beautiful face,
Oh, late I was, by the time I turned back,
It seemed as though the spell you had cast at time had waned off,
Where were you?
I did a full 360° and
Finally caught a glimpse of the small of your back,
Not that there was anything small about it, if you know what I mean,😜
Your flowly and curly African hair rested ever so gracefully and beautifully on your gracefully slender back, bouncing delicately with each step you took,
Oh was I ever to behold of your face which by now I was undoubtedly sure was a sight to behold,
Only fate and time would tell,
Oh I would make sure of it,
Oh daughter of maitu earth,
Oh devourer of men's souls,
Oh daughter of beauty,
Oh daughter of the warmth of earth's belly,
Oh dear beautiful one,
Fate I prayed would not tarry,
For ma, I had found her, the one, the only one,
After A While
By - Armani 💞
After a while you learn the subtle difference
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning
And company doesn’t mean security,
And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts
And presents aren’t promises.
And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head up and your eyes open
With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build all your roads on today,
Because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans,
And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while you learn
That even sunshine burns if you get too much.
So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,
Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure,
That you really are strong,
And you really do have worth.
And you learn and learn,
With every goodbye you learn
Love is just an emotion, but it can expunge your limitation.
It is darkness, that can turn you into fearless.
It is torture, that can bring about your true nature.
It is stubbornness, that doesn't let you flee from your unsolved missteps.
It tires you down if you are addicted to your comfort zone.
Do not dive into love, unless you are set to rise above your dreadful ghouls.

Armed Forces
By - Ahmad Musa 💞
They are our brothers and sisters,
Who gave up their freedom
So that ours can grow.
They are our fathers and mothers,
Who left their homes
So that families can live.
They are our friends, our fellow humans
Who sacrificed their souls,
To wall and limit the blasts
Which could have consumed us all.
They witness the souls of their comrades
Dimming, until only a corpse is left
They see the bodies of their companions
Shattering, until no bone to entomb.
Yet except for the bright uniform hanging
Behind them, their melting front
Remains hidden from us.
Life is like a game,
That we played back then to kill some time.
'Random dots on a sheet of paper, which had no instructions whatsoever.'
Each one of us connected these same set of dots uniquely,
Letting our imaginations run wildly.
Everybody did it thoughtfully and pleasingly.
But in the end, who drew it right?
Who had the competence to draw the truth?
Nobody.
The truth was already there with us all, out and evident.
Just that our minds got tricky!

The One and Only
By - Javad 💞
I attract your faithful heart
When your shining eyes stare into my eyes
We should not be apart
When the mysterious world starts at sunrise
Everything becomes sweet
When I see your sweet smiles
My existence will be complete
When I succeed in the love trials
Make the sacred fire of love hotter
When I burn in the the sacred fire of love
My thirst is deep, where is the water?
When will you pour the love into me, my love?
I will become more energized and excited
When I smell the lovely scent of your existence
I will become more genuine and delighted
When you lessen the separation and the distance
The importance of love will seep
When you say "I love you"
It will be bit by bit deep
When the love is true
Maze
By- Ankita 💞
I used to think Life is like a maze..
Everyone has their own labyrinth of suffering...
You'll lose yourself and spend your whole life stuck in there..
When I grew up I realised that
life is a labyrinth of labyrinths
and each labyrinth has its own Minotaur..
Now I am no stranger to the maze of my life...
I found a way out of it before
and I always will in the future...
Interdite tresor
By - Njoroge Ngugi 💞
Calling you by your name is an abomination
Mi amor ❤️ will be your new tittle
Neither do betterhalf suite your precedent
For you and I will live longer together
Than summation of our childhood life
I will share deep secrets of life
Which none knew or will
Procreation will be our thing
Which my relatives couldn't
Mi amor ❤️!
My alpha,gamma and beta
May nothing ever separate us
And if it comes
May we never disagree to disagree
Rather disagree to agree.
May mutual understanding be our thing
Amalgamation of our thoughts be our defining certitude
To make our procreate have a father and mother figure
To show them the way
And avoid boomerang
Let the ancestors rejoice
The living dead praise
And our seventh generation dance
In honor of our forbidden love
Mi amor ❤️
My alpha, gamma and beta
Destroyed
By - Frank Okwiri 💞
Aiming to have a blesser with a range rover,
Not knowing will be left like leftovers,
She cried,
Wishing she couldn't have tried,
This life isn't like hair,
That when it turns white,
You can apply dye,
She remained with regrets,
I wish I knew,
But she has been used,
She is no longer new,
She thought she was precious like balloon,
But she hugged thorns that are more sharper,
She thought love lies in the eye of the beholder,
Never love is lies in the eyes of the beholder,
She is no longer a bright woman,
Her bright side is now with dirt,
She was called honey,
But didn't know who was the bee,
In the hood she is called Mamacita,
Because she is a mother to six,
It's better she could have remained with me Frank,
Though I don't drive,
But I wanted to drive her crazy,

Wasn't Enough
By - Violin 💞
The feeling becomes so overwhelming;
That you begin to choke;
Shit never comes easy ;
Being able to sacrifice my all ;
Like a sacrificial lamb;
Having laid it all out there in full display ;
Went against my closest family & friends for her ;
Still wasn't enough.
Defied all odds to put a smile on her face.
Still wasn't enough.
Broke my own rules and boundaries for her
But still wasn't enough.
I had to back off.
Suffer in silence whilst still admiring her.
I'M SORRY
By - Symon Saich 💞
Sometimes I wonder what my world would be,
without you in it.
in reality, I wouldn't be myself without you.
Every time I see the pain in your eyes,
a part of my heart dies.
I feel empty and incomplete,
Oh, how I need you so!
Hurting you is the last thing,
I ever wanted to do.
I know you've heard it a million plus one time,
from people who have hurt you before,
but this I say sincerely,
I'M SORRY!
Darling, I'm a mess,
I'm deeply gutted and pained,
that I've done this to you,
it hurts me to hurt you.
You're the one who's hurt,
but I'm the one who's crying,
you're the one with wounds,
but I'm still not recuperating.
I love you with every part of me,
yes, my mouth contradicted my heart
I acted so thoughtlessly
my actions and thoughts afar
Forgive my disdain, my mistake
Give me another chance
to love you true again.
LOST (PART II)
By - Tinkie 💞
Hot tears of bitterness, anger and lament couldn’t
Hesitate to show how much her mind was blown up,
She wished she could pass out and wake up in Mars,
I guess that’s a good hide out place to be invisible,
She only had to gaze with no readable expression on
Her tiny face,
She believed she was strong but this swept her off her feet.
The court session was over and the sound of the judge’s hammer
Repeatedly rang in her mind and echoed all through continuously,
The divorce paper was now fully signed and it was now crystal clear,
She couldn’t face her mama and papa because they failed her,
She wished time travel was real because she would stick to her past,
Embedded in their moments together as a one happy family.
The family is now broken and she has to lose one of her beloved,
Nothing would ever be the same again and memories wont cease,
They would hunt her by day and night and she had no control,
Reveries had to become part of her too leaving her wishing,
With all these million thoughts she passed out undecided,
I guess she will pick up the pieces from there and get steady.
When You Come to Me
By- Bore 💞
When you come to me, unbidden,
Beckoning me
To long-ago rooms,
Where memories lie.
Offering me, as to a child, an attic,
Gatherings of days too few,
Baubles of stolen kisses,
Trinkets of borrowed loves,
Trunks of secret words,
I CRY.
Moon mail
By - Onwuka Chisom 💞
Check the moon
I left a message for you
The night was dark and quiet
yet my mind was far from silent
evasion of sleep
made me from my bed leap
Check the moon
Before afternoon
The stars led me out
And there I found this telecom
pouring my heart made me calm
and I know it will get to you without a doubt
Check the moon
I'll be with you soon
distance kept our hands apart
but not this two knitted hearts
with this medium far from the world's comprehension
we communicate our affection
Check the moon
let's plan for June
what can make a night the best of time
is getting your moon mail
and with that I can to the sunset sail
darling let this love see through its prime
Restart
By - AcuTech 💞
I could feel the walls draw closer,
I could feel the breathe in my chest constrict my airways,
I could feel the noise overwhelm me to the point of breaking,
I could feel utter numbness, not feeling at all,
I could feel suffocating in the midst of it all,
A part of me wanted to join with friends and walk,
Walk with friends who'd grown into family,
But yet still a part of me wanted solace,
The peace that only comes from being alone with my thoughts,
Alone in nature,
Alone with creation,
And so breaking free from the world that was of my species,
I rushed into the soft and gentle arms of mother nature,
And before long I could feel her warm, musky embrace,
I could feel her cool breeze opening up my airways,
I could feel free and light on my feet again,
I literally could feel again,
And that's all I needed,
A recharge, a restart,
And I was new again,
Hideout
By - Oba 💞
I'm still hungry because you gave me water
Don't you know
Water quenches thirst
It can never satiate hunger?
Though I needed shelter, you gave me clothes
Don't you know
Clothes can only cover nakedness,
It can never keep me from cold?
I need love but you became close
Don't you know
Closeness only gives comfort,
It can never give me warmth?
Jump In
By - AcuTech 💞
You think it's impossible?
You think it's hard?
I wanna ask,
You think it's easy?
Well it's not hard,
Jump in, call shotgun if you have to,
We can fight off the urge,
But why hold back the life,
Unfiltered and locked up?
Majestic the beast bares out
Breaks free, at the wheel
Of the raptor,
Letting go of the captors in our hearts,
Fording (forging) my way to you,
Jump in, call shotgun if you have to,
The road's ours for the taking,
Sad to think Frost didn't want to travel,
This frosted less travelled road,
But we are brave to conquer,
Brace and braze through,
The open road calls out,
Why do you fear the adventure that
Awaits?
Am all ready,
Jump in, call shotgun if you have to,
But we have to venture out into the world,
Maybe am just a fool,
Thinking you would
Hear my weak a** call,
But I've grown, I've changed,
Am not the same,
Jump in, call shotgun if you have to,
I wanna be close to you,
Hand in hand, as Morty would say,
"I wonder what it takes to please you. That's the job I want Part time, full time, I want to be good at it, bad at it, I want to get promoted, fired, corner office, hostile takeover, workplace accident"
Drowning
By- Ronax 💞
I saw deep dark eyes
I reckoned it as deep sea
Tempted to dive into ;
Hold on ,
It comes with a immersible risk
Neither me nor my sentient
Listened to it...
I think now i lost in those
Searching for the entirety
So rash of me
Can't feel what it served me.
Now m hauling towards its deep
Thinking it deluged me
But all i did give
Pile of disappointment towards it.
Thaw
By - AcuTech 💞
They said I'd never feel this way
Again,
That my heart was locked away and
Frozen,
They said no one would ever thaw my
Heart,
That I'd be cold and lonely all the
Way,
They said she'd ruined my whole
Life,
That the toxicity was more than I could
Handle,
Even Bella Said, "I have walked alone with the stars
And the moonlight sky, I have walked alone, no one by my side."
But you walked back into my life,
Your touch alone was like a burning star,
You, in a single word, thawed my heart,
Nursing me like a microwave would frozen chicken,
And no one could believe it,
But little did we know that my life would never be the
Same,
Again,
After all, I always had a thing for your glasses,
And them beautiful dimples, everytime you smiled,
Miss Dear Devil
By - Hontonnu Dayo 💞
Am mad at you
And I hate your gut
You've kill the man in me
And I have no where or whom to run to
I've fall in love with the devil
And it coming for my soul
I have no faith in me anymore
Cos my last faith was you
How do I live pass this last hour
When the clock is ticking on us
All I've done was to love you
And all you've done was to kill it
Yet u want more blood
Even as my soul bleed out

LOST (part 1)
By- Tinkie 💞
She was there and she saw it all,
She ran speechless in no time,
It seemed this was it finally,
She could hear it all and she
Wished she never did because,
It was all heart piercing…
She could already feel her heart ripping apart,
She could feel herself losing it at that point,
With no choice whether to breakdown or not
It was so obvious she couldn’t take it anymore,
A million thoughts per millisecond crossing her young mind,
She was instantly lost and confused at the turn of events.
Should she take it or leave it? That was her question in mind,
Only one of the two choices stood out, she had to take it,
Could she bear it if that was the choice?
I am neither perfect nor imperfect.
'Perfect' is such a hyped-up word to describe me.
'Imperfect' runs too low in the race.
I lie somewhere in the middle of these two lies

YOU (Part II)
By - AcuTech 💞
For a moment everything came to a stand still, I became more aware of my environs,
I guess my fragile brain, not being able to comprehend this much beauty was making up for it by deleting all files,
And only making room for this,
Auspicious, special moment,
There was a cool breeze blowing from the south,
The air was swift and wallow with the smells of spring,
The flowers a good, tingy, deep colourful taste,
There was a group of freshmen laughing far in the corner,
On the corner of my left eye, a group of giggly sophomores were trotting to whatever tot-gulping party that was on fire that day,
Next came your gorgeous, light,
Yet not so light as to cause Permanent Eye Damage(PED), lightness, legs,
Proportionate, and curvy in all the right places, your calves oozed the confidence of a lady that was not afraid to walk and work for what she wanted,
God was I observant, or was it your countenance that had so captured and engrossed and encapsulated me?
Your knees were barely visible due to the eye-catching water-giggly, tongue-draping, polka flowered, dotted casual dress you had on,
It was undoubtedly hugging you in all the right places,
Your hips were hugged tightly, yet not too tightly as to cause varicose veins or even Permanent Head Damage(PHD), in my case,
Girl were you blessed🥳, and was I more so in witnessing your undivided, Beauty,
Time seemingly slowed down to a halt, my heartbeat to a lull,
Oh daughter of the sky,
Oh daughter of unbridled beauty,
Oh daughter of the past, future and present tense,
What had you done to me,
Son of the universe?
Falling For You
By- Silas Mwandikwa 💞
I tried to hate you,
Trust me I did,
I tried pushing your thoughts,
Far away in the deepest corner of my mind,
Tried tucking them in with all
The dark nightmares,
Tried to figure you out
As a virus, bad for my health,
But all that was in vain
Because upon seeing you
My heart would skip a beat,
My mind would lose track of everything
My tongue would knot itself
Harder than a needle in a haystack
My skin would tremble with freaky goosebumps
That would not go away,
My whole being would drift off,
Leaving a trail of shakes and disillusioned chatter,
I would pinch myself,
Try even to slap myself all to no avail
All the efforts I tried, to push you away would melt like butter on a hot knife
And in would rush a sweeping warmth and joy at your sight
Your smile in itself would drive me crazy,
Making me wonder what to make out of all this,
Oh yes, am falling for you,
MY TWO WORLDS
By - Ashwini Suresh 💞
There is a tiny world inside this wide big world, which doesn't exist but is very real.
It has noise
It has a pleasant voice
It has pain
It is complete and very serene
Just like the world outside of it.
In this little world
I can be as crazy as I want,
As wise as possible
With nobody noticing it.
I have faced many challenges here
Sunk in too many hardships
Still, I call it my safe place
My home, sweet home!
This bit is all I know,
And that's how I know the world outside of it.
