Bad and weird

A thousand words wont be enough

to describe her worth to me

a helping hand from out of space

angelic smiles to calm my nerves

her care and love still startles me

i wonder why she wants to go

if offended please forgive

be close to me is all I want

have never met a dame like her,

my every want she satisfies

without a single thought of it

subconsciously to my surprise .

thoughts of her provokes my smile

like every girl she makes me cry

but In her case the tears of joy

bad and weird she claims to be

beyond that guise I see her heart

a tender loving patient heart

intelligent in all her deeds

she has been hurt so many times

so In disguise to shield her heart

bad and weird she says she is

but diamond I know she is

if what she is bad and weird

then i want this bad and weird.

Twice shy by Okpakpa Erezi

All my eggs in one basket

a hard mistake for me to make

it keeps me safe from hurtful wants

i hurt some hearts because of this

do understand I once this tried

shattered my heart to tiny bits

with glue and pain my heart i fixed

vowing in tears to care no more

along the way nice hearts came by

once bitten twice am shy

they walked away with heavy heart

my heart did bleed but stayed in tact

so I wonder which one is best

for heart to bleed or heart to break

i lived with both and cant decided

so I decided to my thoughts lay

i stay lonely longing to love

my head screaming  “you won’t  survive”

my first hurts are yet to heal

the more I wait more souls I hurt

and to my hurt it hurts me too

Diamond cuff by Okpakpa Erezi

Looking back at how we met

it still tickles just how it felt

how I spent everyday

looking forward to the next

i leap with joy thinking of you

it feels complete to lay by you

to hold your hand was bliss indeed

kissing your lips an over dose

your other side heavenly peace

in your tight grip am lost for words

from crown to sole your warmth feels good

it beats my mind the way you yield

giving your whole with love and care

i face my wall and shed sweet tears

wiping my eyes before you know

if this depends on what I want

from now henceforth your own i am

my heart has vowed to be with you 

split in two to sign our bond

diamond cuff for finger sake

one for you and one for me

to sign our love till our last day.

lonely me by Oke

Loneliness…

What does it mean?

I always used to ask

Happiness…

What does it mean?

I never had to ask

Cos I tot I knew

But then I find myself awake

Surrounded by gold, money and fame

Having every desire met

And I question myself again

What does loneliness mean?

Cos I thought it was the gold

I thought it was the money and fame

So if I was right, why am I sitting here

Staring out the window

Wishing I could give it all back

Because if I’m entirely honest

I’d say I was really completely and truly lonely

Deep within by Okpakpa Erezi

Many lines I want to write

when I give thoughts to your grace

sweet smiles parade my soul 

when you are in my embrace

yours are soft and suiting words

scenes of you encamp my brain

with joy of you drowning my whole

yet I know not how you feel

so that brain shuts up my role

locking all my flows from you

till it finds you feel the same

heart enrage at brains disdain

seeking chance to plot its coup

but dictator brain has been

bringing down democracy

deep within our souls are knit

sweet expression absence plays

till our bodies move as one

juxtaposed with wounded hearts

injured knees will heal with ease

hurtful yearnings brain prevents

giving us a fighting chance

deep within i am with you

hoping from without the same will be

Love is not enough by Okpakpa Erezi

Life is deep the aged say

as a youth I laughed at them

cos I felt it was a joke

now with beards beneath my chin

friendly girl around me come

hand in hand in streets we walk

singing songs from heart to heart

day to day this bond grew thick

not a day without her smile

else this heart will go on strike

to this bliss she testified

chemistry beyond earths reach

now she says am just a friend

her best friend I will always be

quick flash back my brain produced

what the aged said was deep
no wonder the people say
"love alone is not enough"

i stand in awe with disbelief

saying loudly to myself

when aflame neighbour’s roof go

boy be careful of thine own

what goes around sure comes around
