Keep The Family Close.

Sometimes it takes death to occur before we realise we should keep the family close,

As a matter of fact, keep the family much closer.

Death is only a reminder it would be us someday, hence our work here is limited.

Breathe taking away in what seems like a moment,

Not of silence but of agony.

When one of your aunts that genuinely loved you as a son dies,

Though I was distant, still was a relation that assumed his role.

How do you console your cousins to the thought they'll never see their mum?

How do you tell your dad to pull himself together over the loss of his sister?

I guess you'd probably live with the guilt of holding a childish grudge against her,

But knowing you so well,

I'm sure you'd barely flinch at that thought.

When bitterness is soaked in thy heart,

The sweet things of life become far fetched.

Out of the heart, the mouth speaks.

And though life's innocence was taken away even before you knew what it meant,

By someone deemed to be a superhero,

But all villains don't wear capes neither do they hide behind a mask,

But usually, have a smile on their faces like the Joker.

Maybe that's why I can never take you serious no more.

Forgiveness is an integral part of life,

It's written in the Holy Book.

It takes the mercy of The Lord for such act to be done.

The day a child realises that all adult are imperfect, He becomes an adolescent;

The day he forgives them, He becomes an adult;

The day he forgives himself, He becomes wise.

And I know someday my time here would be done,

Because what's life if there was no death?

Someone has to die to turn the prince into a king.

I pray to The Lord, His bosom will be my resting place,

I pray to The Lord, I live out my dreams before I transit.

I pray to The Lord I die with memories and zero regrets.

Happy Birthday To Me.

Seeing how far I've come, I've got to say thank you Mom. From being the thing you hoped for, Now being the thing I hope for. This is me saying a happy birthday to me, And a multitude Thanks, to you mom. You are my saving grace, You both, I can't imagine where I'd be without you both. At age 22 I still cry to you, Well I did the other day on the phone, How I called you randomly and told you about how much I've missed and still miss Grandma, And you understood each tear. It's my birthday today, As I transit into that Jordan age. And even though the spot light shines on me today, I also take this time to appreciate you, Make my spot light yours. And even if there's no one there to glamour at your spot light, I'd be your exceeding crowd to wonder on your wonders. As a gentleman you've raised, You've always told me how a king should let his queen have the spot light. Your number one button I push...

Heaven's Angel

Countless dreams of heaven, I’ve had but never get to see the big picture in motion. She oozes of heritage that gives life, One that gives life to the dying and eternity to the living. She is of Selah, worthy to behold, You’re not of human that crown queen, But, Of goddess that make gods. I wonder what she thinks of me? I’m having not to jump the gun and move faster than my shadow. I doubt she even knows this? I doubt she even knows what she’s worth? Does she have the problem of the coloured girl? How do you define a black woman’s worthiness to herself? Perhaps I’m the missing piece for her realisation. I often say this but this time I feel it different. I hope she knows I want someone to talk to and listens, As it goes vice-versa, making for deep-level interactions. What is biology without chemistry? I crave telepathy interactions, I’m ready to risk it all again to have this. What is a bond without elasticity? And if I yet again l...

1AM

It's 1AM, As I think back 5 hours ago, Watching grown folks indulge in the idea of marriage. Such a beautiful thing when its true essence is given, However the case, The reverse isn't the same. I felt like a bird on a mountain top, Looking down with a vision of that of an eagle trying to see what I can get from it. I listened as they rambled about adult jokes. A soothsayer wasn't needed as the drift in class could be told. The song on the radio is sung along by a wife, With lyrics that seem to shred fragments of the heart. A beautiful voice but with emotion and pain littered around it. The rest said their good nights to their spouse over the phone. Standing over on my balcony as the clock is 17 minutes away from hitting 1AM, Lonely as hell, But somehow I find confidence and comfort when I seldom let my thoughts run loose, Days when they are controlled, I seem to run low on the double C. My heart seems like an uncaged beas...
