MY CRUMBLING WORLD

There’s so much pain and confusion

This death with vain mission

The silence in my heart is distraction

Why must it come now?

I wanted to ask God how?

But this is not my world

When the world freezes around you

You know those who are with you

But none greater than HE who is in you

I know it comes down to one thing

The bed time stories mean something

But nothing can come out of nothing

There is one in the theatre

There are two in the ward

There is one under earth

There are two who never made it

There is one with the pressure to go

Can this too be real? Do I need to go?

Like red-hot coal is the bark of a dog

Chasing rabbits that have gone agog

The drop has filled the ocean

The ocean is getting frozen

It forms tears that can never be seen

Because freezing point was foreseen

The disruptions in my stomach

The noises in my head

The block that filled the heart

The numbness of the joints

No red coal is hotter

No blazing furnace is larger

“It is well” was the song

You are not well was the gong

Don’t come to the other side

It is locked from inside

Be like the flies from sight

Who never meet their own at bright

Take your time and wait

And you’ll be used as bait

When it all goes down

He’ll take you all the way down

Don’t think you know

Because it’ll never show

The storm is coming strong

Take shelter or get hit with a throng

You try to play God

In a world you know you can’t own

You want to be the king

In a jungle that you are owned

It was a Sunday

He was the only one who knew

They never supported me

But he stood by me

He believed in my dream

And made sure I don’t end up in a dim

He was never a believer

But was always a true deliverer

Who will open for me?

Who will give me the keys to the other side?

They want me to let him be

Even though he means all to me

The whisper of the night draws me close

The humming of the birds brings the memories

Like a book that left the shelf

I have gone out of my shell

But nothing can be the same again

This war which death started without gain

I can no longer hide in sorrow

I can no longer fear for tomorrow

The day is almost up

I must concern myself with the things on top

Even the one that knows me don’t know me

Like chameleon that changes its skin are they!

A FRIEND……………..

Is someone who is there for you always?

He wants nothing from you, other than you be yourself

He is the one that with whom, you can feel safe

With him you can utter your heart (it’s good and bad)

Like the shades of a great tree is the heart of a friend

Like a home haven with your nation’s flag, flying after a long expedition is a friend

A friend is an impregnable fortress of refuge in the strife of existence

It is he that preserves alive your faith in human nature

He makes you believe that it’s a good universe

He is the antidote to despondency

Your elixir of optimism

 The tonic for your depression

 So, respect, honor, treasure and adulate him while you still can………he is your friend!

RETRAINED

By: Eroma ’Pmark

The walls have ears

So I hide my fears

I want to speak

But first have to think

The feelings are bottled up

Like railings that go up

Should I give up on love?

Or let my reason lead from above?

No care if I get hurt

Not even when my heart gets burnt

I want to let them all out

To say what I fell without doubt

Wait! I’ve got something for you

Things you’ll never think I’ll do

I don’t feel okay when I should

Even with the walls I fell I’ll build

The orientation is diverse and complicated

But not in verse or duplicated

I do I know the difference

Perhaps I could design an essence

But lo! It may never be completed

This poem which I see manipulated!
