NEW MOON SPELL / in the backwoods of the / Louisiana bayou voodoo / is alive and well... / Calling on fire, wind, earth / and water in the shadow of / the torch lights as the / dance of the dead is danced / caught up in a trance like / frenzy, the high priest reads / from the book of rites and / invites the… sign in to read more »
Well you ain't been nothing but a thorn / in my side since you came into my life / I thought by now you'd take a hint / I don't really want you in my life but / still you insist on coming over to my / house every dang night... / Well I know my mama told me not to / burn your bridges and so I guess it's / my… sign in to read more »
All the things I never said before / really doesn't matter much anymore / the world is changing me like never / before like a ghost in the thick of / fog...well truth is stranger than / fiction just like a fire burning / somewhere out to sea...it seems / the world is going crazy and it's / trying to do the… sign in to read more »
Well I came to know you just a week or so ago / And you seemed different than the others but / After you got what you wanted you didn't want / Me anymore, I should of known you were just / Another player... / And I must of been OUT OF MY MIND just / Like the last time...I search for love but / Heartbreak… sign in to read more »
Multi-colored Orbs before my eyes... / what's going on here, are my eyes just / playing tricks on me...well I rub my eyes / but they do not disappear I wonder if it's / spirits in despair or the guardians of mine / trying to tell me have no fear still I wonder / if it could be him or her or something… sign in to read more »
Irish, Cherokee and Aries... / Well they say look out he's / On the war path again / I dare you to dare me to see / Who can out drink who when / It comes to whiskey, I dare / You to dare me to make it / Rain, you'll need an ark or / A jet plane, I guess I'm just / That HOT TO TROT without little / Effort on… sign in to read more »
Well and You're Crazy if you / think I'm gonna let you bring me / down again, if you think you / can just come back into my life / after being gone so long and / expect me to take you back / just like that...You're Crazy / if you think I'm still in love with / you after all the hell you put / me through ,… sign in to read more »
Well all my friends tell me I should leave you / But that's something I can't seem to do / I've come to need you with every breath I / Breath and my love for you deeper than any / Deep blue sea! / I've heard all the rumors and story that you / Are not the faithful kind and you'll come to take / Me… sign in to read more »
The air looks like that song that stays on your fingers and makes hearts smile / Your favourite song tastes like a medley of ice-creamcream, pop-corn and marshmallows all dipped in rich darks chocolate / Food sounds like the orchestra of toes in socks strutting their way on wooden floors / Each breath… sign in to read more »
Too much they say / Them tall lads and Ladi / All them white collars / And fancy bred lads / With iron black suit / All tall and fine cept / Ladi, who is pretty. / / Too much they say / Them tall lads and Ladi / Talking about sky and man. / Man standing on the moon / With wings of iron soaring / Through fall… sign in to read more »
It is late at night, / Sleepless am I. / I'm getting annoyed, / So I let out a sigh. / / I've tried the sheep, / The glass of water, too. / I've tried all the old tricks, / But I'm still awake, so pooh! / / I've listened to silence, / And music as well. / It doesn't appear to be working, / 'Cause I'm still… sign in to read more »
What is love - pray do tell, / I seek it dearly, but what do I know? / The vision's set, the road's mapped out, / But where do I start, where do I go? / Why do I dare? Why do I care? / Do I care? Oh, surely I must... / Why do I stand? Why here did I land? / Where is the reason, what answer do I trust? / I'm… sign in to read more »

I can't accept it... / My words prove hollow, / I can't forget him... / My memory seems shallow, / He crept into my life and made me happy... / He made my days exceptional, / Gave me a reason to wake up in the morning... / Gave me a reason to sleep at night, / If only he knew, / How much I loved him... / I… sign in to read more »
I thought I had abandoned this pen that voices out how I feel / You let go of me during these times, / After I poured out my heart to you / do you know how much does it take for a girl like me to admit that I actually love you? / Just when I had moved on, / just when all surfaces of wound built up when… sign in to read more »
He holds his bat with all his might, / The bowlers bowl with full of fright. / He is the man, he is the king, / He smashes every ball out of the ring. / / Once he entered the pitch by chance, / And changed the game in a single glance. / He is the man depended on hard times, / For he is the king of all the… sign in to read more »
I felt the stab of pain / From a brother in the hood / One seeking to rise to fame / I thought he understood. / / I taste the bitter in what he said / As he spits the words out / "I wish you were dead" / He just verified my doubt. / / I hear the cries for pity / In our own neighborhood, / Not across the… sign in to read more »
The steam that rises from the shell / Mists up the scope lens / A steady hand etches a heart / Through which the other bleeds / / A tattered pass absorbs the flood / Inches from the silent hand / That reached beneath his thread bare coat / A white flag not received / / The towel-head becomes another scratch… sign in to read more »

And so shall my words fulfill / what I so wish, / and so shall my hands vow onto what I dictate, / so as to show what I hate, / and always act deliberate... / And so shall my feet take me to some undefined destination, / and make sure I belong. / And so shall my eyes help me see what I was meant to see.… sign in to read more »
I have to admit he makes me happy, / I have to admit we're both young, / both broke, / yet both happy, / don't have much to give to him, / but when he smiles I'm satisfied. / Sends me a message every day, / whether e-mail, sms or fsms, / I find myself feelin' lucky, / I know I'm blessed, / he is spontaneous… sign in to read more »
A Protestor burns tyres / For services he desires / But ain't it strange? / He talks about the new nobility / But won't vote for accountability / Won't risk real change / / Because voting booths ain't so fun / And in a war costs are only counted / When the battle's won / / The mayor he sits secure / He can… sign in to read more »
It's in riddle form, / I hope you can understand / I love you, / yes, I do / Even though I know not what love is / "But with the little I know, I love you" / Memories all flooding, / reminding me that indeed you are special / It's been what? / 8 months, and I still get the goosebumps that I got when we first… sign in to read more »
I opened my eyes and the dream began / Rather a nightmare as I could define / I had told a lie / And it felt like there was a bullet in my soul / My heart was pumping blood as if it were a sponge / I still see no use to it / Fact was I had lied / I thought to myself / "It won't last for a month" / Then a… sign in to read more »
wretched feelings / wretched siblings / everything breaks me down these days / even myself / even the breeze / the oceans taking over these days / and yet there is nothing I seek more / I run to no human, / because there is no human to run to / the words can be right / but they're always wrong / the thoughts… sign in to read more »
I'm riding the cloud of bright blanket dreams, / The coconut smoke entwines with the mist, / The potion of madness in violet streams / Is carving the urge that I cannot resist. / / The mysteries find me still lying in bed, / Enjoying the pleasures of drunken grapefruit. / Just several gulps, and a room… sign in to read more »
Allow me into your heart / I want to get to know you better / Why not? Just try me / I promise to do no harm / / But I will wash out the walls of your heart / With fruity smelling liquidy red tingly trickly love / Till the heart beats brand new / then you will give me your soft warm hands and I will… sign in to read more »
He looks at me and smiles, I look at him and smile back / I know exactly what he is thinking, I know exactly where he wants to put me / In a corner somewhere, where I can stare at him all starry-eyed and wide-mouthed / Where I can hopelessly fall in love with him while getting played on the side / I… sign in to read more »
somebody pointed a gun at me the other day / I saw my end at the end of the barrel / I could smell my own fear / death stared at me with a smile / he didn't pull the trigger / I guess it wasn't my time / / I went to the gun shop down the road / and bought my own gun / I now sleep with one eye shut / the… sign in to read more »

Holding a pen in my hand writting the feelings / I feel internal but hidden in the external features. / / Days were dark, day by day anger was expressed / Feelings were unelucidated. / No joy was planted but silence was reaped. / / Silence hurted the most while no one was there to heal and comfort the… sign in to read more »
It always baffles my mind when we do this to our own kind / We preach of sisterhood yet we wear the devil's hood / If maybe I could rewind and maybe be born from the male kind / Then maybe I would not be saying this: The devil is a woman / / Remember how you told her about your new man, / How he loved… sign in to read more »
Forgive this my people / It's the kick of a toddler / Full of sound and fury / But to little effect / / Wonder I how Africans are are Africans in Africa / Land of plenty of wealth / How can we be a people of extremes / Dark, poor, dull, rich in resouces / As they would say...poor at home and dull at school… sign in to read more »
I listen to the voices in my head / Something I could not mend / Who is listening to me? / Maybe someone whom I cannot see / Twirling and sauntering around / I see the figures smiling at me like a bunch of clowns / Big red noses and silly hats on their heads / Their eyes empty instead / Laughing without… sign in to read more »
First thing I gotta do when I wake up in the morning, the simplest thing but also my worst fear, I gotta open my eyes. So I wake up mentally, say a quick prayer and brace myself for the sad HD quality reality of yet another day at work... / / The war begins... I open my eyes... / / Light invades and… sign in to read more »
Is it wrong to use whatever title you like? / It's whatever you make it to be. / I have a parenting responsibility over my work. / You would know I excel when it comes to this. / I am not superhuman; I want you to think that too. / I hold the magic and my life's work is the miracle I see more every day… sign in to read more »
On my knees / Like a mad man grabbling for fleas / Twitching in every way / Looking at the sky as if to say / Where am I today / Yesterday I was far away / Last week I was somewhere else / Was it then that I was in doubt? / Years ago I used to work / Last my marbles and now nothing hurts / Family, who are… sign in to read more »
Based on actual events- As I lay here, in the dark. Staring up at the ceiling. Trying to force myself into sleep. I begin to hear them. The ghosts of the night. I hear the soft footsteps of the dead coming to life a mere five feet from my bed. I hear them in the kitchen. The drawers that hold the… sign in to read more »
I actually thought you loved me / You told me that every day / How was I so blind as not to see / That you could do me wrong in such a way / / I gave you my love, my heart, and soul / But yet you just tossed them aside / I flew over oceans on wings I feared most / Just to find the deadly secrets that you… sign in to read more »
Your heart is filled with treason / Turning your back on me / You do not have a clear reason / For why our love can't be / / Your laughs have turned to hate / Your smile is now a frown / Anger from you is what I take / No more up just the down / / People say that true love is real / I actually thought that's… sign in to read more »
Frost now covers my once loving heart / Ice replaces my flowing warm core / Hatred is tearing my caring apart / Nothing is the same as it once was before / / All my good intentions have grown sour / My happiness has taken a turn for the worst / My evilness is growing stronger by the hour / My joy is now… sign in to read more »
The way I feel is very strange and something I'm not used to / Could it be the booze last night and the hotel room I think I have checked into / I kind of remember as we danced and laughed and talked throughout the night / Her hair of red, eyes of blue and a body that to look at, was a delight / / Then… sign in to read more »
Out-and-out I'm a wretch / whose oral orifice is mute. / My intercourse is interred deep / in my psyche, where no ghosts or / verity dwell. I've known / diffidence as the rugamuffin next door, whose s… sign in to read more »
put me in the midst of the savanna / let my eyes roam the veldt / to the cacophony of the wind / let my ears make out monotonous harmony. / the smell of drying brown grass / let it tickle my nostrils snuffly / put a rock under my bottom and / let it be Friday afternoon. Let me / listen to Marechera retching… sign in to read more »
Here we are, the two of us together / Takin' this crazy chance to be together / 'Cause if we're found out, it could mess up / Both our happy homes but what can I do "sugar" I love you / / I hate to think about us have to keep meeting up in secret, / 'Cause as soon as I look at you it will show on my face… sign in to read more »
I know this might seem weird, / I know this might seem dumb, / But whatever I tell you now is not be repeated, / It needs to stay our little secret. / So if you would please, / Be sure not to tell, / The one you love most, / Or anyone else. / It is of great importance, / And needs no introduction, / That… sign in to read more »
I heard a noise outside it sounded like a UFO. So I got scared so I went under the blankets. I saw a big light. It felt like I was flying after a while. But, really to tell you I was stranded in the ether also known as outer space. Also I was in a huge rocket tied up. It felt like a runway no way to… sign in to read more »
What's beauty? / What's truly pretty? / Is this really in people / Or is it really on people? / I wonder as I with the idea grapple. / / Look at them now, look! / look at the grotesquery. / Perhaps start with the head; / an imperfect sphere / nudged here and there / for a couple of eyes, / a hollow - the mouth… sign in to read more »
I touch the modern tablet of ancient forms / and am lifted to the heavens like the mountains of thoughts / I smell the potent ink of poems feeding my quill / as I make a mark on pages of love / romance / and mystery of being / / I fall off literary cliffs / of words which echo my pain / my soul flayed by… sign in to read more »
