Communal decadence by Wacky Poet
Communal decadence A place filled with unending revelries Owning a heart that raucously parties Along with a booze powered spirit That rages in the dark like an angry spirit Tending to it were strumpets roaming free Trailed by decadent wallets known to please Overtly engaging in their self-indulgent spree All over the beau terrain rolling […]
Spotlight by Toluwalase Fowowe
Blam!The spot shinesWhite and hotIntense and sullenThrusting me in to infamy The spot shows no mercyIt gives no time to prepareNo time to be readiedAnd at the loud bangI must perform I am either setOr I am not setAnd as the white heatBlares down on meI must perform I was not set that onceWhen the […]
Friend By Ordeezy
When I decided to be your friend.I didn’t decide to be there just to take pictures with you.Or comment with enough hype to buy your smile.I decided to hold your hand through the tunnel and remind you that you are not alone.When you decided to add best to the six letter oath.I hope you realised […]
The Heart and The Mind by Mila
My heart is a brain if it feels right I don’t have to think about it,But for every dumb decision my heart’s made, it’s my actual brain that’s dealt with every bit,With every beat of my heart, my mind grows weary with thoughts,Like I decide to wear my heart on my sleeves and my brain […]
Lil Girl by Protegee of Purpose
Little Girl, Little Girl Please let healing and wisdom in Though you’re grown now, a beautiful woman I still see you, little girl, playing hide and seek and peek a boo Still anticipating to be found, or maybe even chosen Little Girl, Little Girl Please let healing and wisdom in. From where cometh this trauma […]
Real Me by Oyinkansola Alausa
I’m a black childWith lots of dream and aspirationBorn into polygamyNot by choice, but by force I am that child who replaces worry with solitudeWhere I turn my words and feeling to creative insightsA gift giving to me by God to manufacture wingsAs I run on my heels Gift to inspire hope and saturate courageLines […]
Without Him by Muhibbah Yahya
Without you I have been nothing but a broken shell holding up a façade of wholeness,For how can I be whole when without you I am half agony, half wonder completely and irrevocably incomplete,I sit starless night after night gazing up in search of the star that was once subject to your dandy,But night after […]
DEVIL by Ordeezy
I am not responsible for your evil,This is true.I only punish those who deviate from good.I am a necessary catalyst in this drama,I play the thief, cheat and liar.When things do not go your wayMy name is available for you to blame.Paint me as you like, make black my attire,All I truly do is give […]
DROWN by Ordeezy
If you fall in love with a poet;You will fall too deep but you’ll love it.You will lose every reason to struggle and fall with a smile.You will dive in the ocean of his words;Words so perfect like water from spring they will clean the heart.You will bury your soul in the sea of his […]
Why do I feel this way? By Aladi
Time and time again I ask myself this, hoping a response finds its way to me.Pain, sadness, anger,All these I feel constantly,All at the same time. All consuming. They attack continuously,Each wave stronger than the other.And each time I do nothing but wallow in each emotion.Do I know it is pathetic? Yes.Do I consider this […]
