Today is a wet, rainy day. Very dreary, slow and boring. Nothing to do except skip around and view other people's blogs. After reading Olawunmi's blog, I was inspired to write this poem. Thanks for putting me in a poetry-writing mode, 'Lawunmi. I am not a writer. Hardly! I can count on one hand how many poems I've written in my lifetime. lol.. However this poem that I am so proud of at this very moment and that I also just wrote in under 10 minuts is what boredom and my wandering mind birthed. Hope you like it=>
She skips back into time
Her memory blurry
Head fuzzy
However emotions overwhelming
Almost incapacitating
To know that you held that from me
That which I ought to have known
Afterwhich I'm never the same
Can't be the same
Can't get answers from a dark space
That lieth beneath the surface
Six feet deep
Callousness, falsities rain from me
Like raindrops from a desert storm cloud
Heavy, thick, a downpour
Of what you passed on to me
Your misery
Unbenknownst to me
At the third tick of the new century
Succumbing to your lies
I was your slave, the murdered
Now others succumbing to mine
Events overtake my mind
Gone is my sense of presence and my control
And i'm left to murder your mind
and your soul
Oh how callous of me
I wish it couldn't be
But it is
Oh heavenly rain wash away
The dark clouds of my secrets
And renew my dreams with a clear blue sky
Of innocence once had but lost
A poor trusting soul executed
Put to death by strangulation
No wait
What do I hear
Two thumping hearts
One lost and forgotten
Weakened beyond understanding
Crammed with hurt and disappointment
The other strong, vibrant
Thumping hard
Seething with revenge
Venomous
Don't want to stand in the way
Lest the strong consumes the weak
Hence the strong is sent off
Like a dark warlord on a lofty, speedy horse
And I stand back
And watch what unfolds
In front of mine eyes
Helpless
To behold the collateral damage

you say so much, and so little; you make much plain, yet you hide so much. every line of this poem resonated inside me, even as i tried to understand what it was that hurt so much.
i wish you would write more often. this is beautiful.
i have my new guestblog.
You write very well -- I can't believe you don't recognize your talent. Hmmm -- keep at it, and all the best.
Thank you Olawunmi. It means so much to me for you to say these kind words. Wow! Maybe I should write more. Also thanks for posting it on your page. Much appreciation!
nice poem!! you should create a personal book of poetry and share it with us from time to time
Thanks Onada. :) Will definitely consider doing that.
