A limb has fallen from the family tree

This poem is dedicated to the memory of my good friend known by his family and friends as “The Josh”. Disbelief sets in I can’t stand still Bodies converge on my personal space To get on this train I know it’s not their fault But it feels personal ‘Cause the following days will never be […]

The bird that swallowed the worm

I came across this art and poem and it intrigued me to share it here. Enjoy. All work is credited to the artist – @Nwankwo Levi “Poetry has risen” “They said you are the bird with The greatest muscles, that you are the Bravest amongst the cabin of Aves, that in your Abode no one […]

So delightful

Satisfaction the goal Some are looking forward to more But some have lost the opportunity Due to being deep in the dirt or cornered in cells The latter doing their best to gain it back They know, in whatever way Even if it’s inevitable The pain needs to be alleviated Give a toast, even if […]

Rough ‘ N Smooth

Mr. Malcontent

Torn to pieces deceased friends can never read my thesis A half full glass on the table A silver warm tear shed The rest saved for tomorrow Nothin’ is left unwritten I kept a paper trail so it ain’t no mystery Got the confidence of nerds in an exam room And the vulnerability of a […]
