Love Me

Choke me
With the sweetness of your voice
Torture me
With your bosom as we cuddle
Heal my core
Soothe the pain on my feet
Inherited on this path
Drown me
With the flood of your love
Kill me
With the life I want to spend with you
Judge me
Sentence me to more of this
Love me
Like I’ve never been loved
Shush my lips
With the warmth of yours
Love me

Drunk In Love

Sink in me 
Get drunk with me 
Until am all you see 
As you relax in the gutter 
Of my arms where you sleep 
And am still your bartender 
Still giving you love so tender

That Woman

Her heart a fortress
Her mind untamed
Immune to hypnosis
By roses and compliments
A thousand lovely sonnets
Wouldn’t make a difference

Speechless

Speechless
Yet with mountains to speak 
Are you a magician?
What’s your trick?
I feel numb
Every time I stare 
Into your beautiful eyes 
Down to your cheeks
I always freeze 
Failing to spit
My heart out 
Dying to tell you
You are all I think about

You, you make me stupid
Crazy, doesn’t even define it
You are the reason
I just smile when we meet
I wish you could read
The story behind those squeezed cheeks
When I don’t say much
Just know I can write 
Pages about us

Ignorance

With open ears and a closed mind
I basked in the sun of information 
I swam in deep seas
Of knowledge 
Breathed in corrections
Just to later breath out fury
Paranoid of my pride’s fate 
Believed I was an island
So I wrecked every ship 
In my radar

Turned off every light 
You may say I was up tight 
But from the comfort of the dark  
That was surely right 
I only applauded ideas 
In my custody 
Perceived everything as stupidity

Can Anyone Hear Me

I am weeping in this line
I am sobbing in this rhyme 
Am screaming under a tide

To You

I wrote 3 words
To show you I miss you 
I wrote 3 more
To let you know how I feel 

At the realisation 
Of competition 
I figured this letter 
Needs a distinction 
Padorn my insecurity 
These pages go up to twenty 

Dear, I don't know if am there yet 
Still I say it 
Hoping mutual 
It will soon be 
Hold your heart 
swallow your pride 
And let me take you 
Through a journey of hearts 

I didn't come riding a stallion 
Just my dirty feet 
Am no Prince Charming 
But Charming you will see 

Maybe I came a little hard on you 
But clarity is all I seek 
See, I've been feeling 
This way for ages 
Words boiling down my chest 
So nauseating 
Oh! What an ache 
Will you let me take you 
Or break

I Miss You

In the morning when I am wake
And the evening as the sun fades
Every time of the day
I search for my better self
But yikes! You are away

In a crowded space
I feel out of place
Immersed in loneliness
I long for your presence

How I miss those cherry-like lips
Just hanging from that wonderfully molded
Chin of yours
I miss staring at those beautiful eyes
Embedded in that sweet angel’s face
I miss that captivating voice
Saying all kinds of jokes
Opinions, dreams and hopes

Palm In Palm

Kiss by kiss 
Till I fill your life with bliss 
Then you begin to miss 
Every little fragment of this 
Every time you are away 
And you come crawling my way 
Just to meet me half way 
Then we quench our thirst 
In each others arms 
Every moments like the first 
Palm in Palm

All I Want

Give me  all 
That's all I want 
A broken heart 
Your darkest soul 
Your haunted home 
And all your ghosts 
Let them play with mine 
As you host 

Give me your night mares 
And all your jokes 
What you've won 
And what you've lost 
Your lovely days 
And all your flaws 

I want you all 
Not a point short 
A rose with thorns 
A meat with bones 
All your fears 
And all your tears 

I don't want Halloween days 
When you wear  happy masquerades
And hide your eyes in shades 
While your real face fades 
Under a smile so fake 
When I stumble on our way
