Poetry, III.
Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/white-paper-with-black-text-3928938/ I love my poems in simple form as most would have noticed and that's what I want people to relate to the most. I want people to understand in simple terms and then explain it the way they can in their heads and on their terms. I like making it relatable and with rhymes too. It doesn't have to be complicated and with big words. Most people run away from reading poems because they feel they are confusing but I always make mine simple, fun and enjoyable too. Here are some of the poems I've shared before now: **Life's Mystery.** *Sometimes life can be confusing and we just keep looking* *The more we look the less we see and the more confused we are* *There are so many things that don't make much sense* *They just leave you in a perpetual state where you get tensed* *The more you know the more confusing life leaves you* *I've stopped trying to wrap my head around everything* *I've been taught to focus on the things that are important* *Because change is the only thing in this life that is constant* *The mystery about life I try to unravel but not at the cost of my sanity* *There are so many mysteries under the heaven* *To some it's strange and to others, it's their haven* *Like 6 and 9 which are shaped as a result of our view and position* *What's normal to the spider is chaos to the fly* *Save your strength for the things you have the capacity to do and try* *We can't sometimes understand why things are the way they are* *Sometimes it's not about solving everything but living* *Often, is not about understanding everything but going with the flow* *Learn to do away with things that keep you rooted and slow* *Life is meant to be lived and a basic understanding of this is fine* **Resilient.** *Rejected again!* *Over and over, I'll blame myself,* *I'll gaze at the sun until it rains,* *I'll then allow the rain to purge my pain.* *I'll wear my shoe until perfectly* *it suits, and it's laced with no bleeds* *I'll then get up and try again.* *Rejected again!* *Criticism is now a part of me* *that I look forward to every time,* *Judgement is something I crave* *for trying something different,* *it hurts, it's uncomfortable,* *but then, it's mixed in my flesh and blood* *It's needed depending on how you view it.* *Rejected again!* *At times, I think "is that how bad I am?"* *but then I remember, "uneasy lies the head that wears the crown"* *Maybe rejections are just other distractions* *obstructing me from reaching my goals.* *It's alarming and most times annoying,* *but then I move on like it never happened.* *Rejected again!* *To me, it's now a gain;* *because I learn on the field.* *The greater I plunge, the greater I surge!* *After all, the path to greatness is tough* *Let this be known; that the next time* *I fall, I'll rise again, just like the Phoenix* **You Are Calling Me...** *Your heart is calling to mine and I got the message* *Yours is the only room I can walk into right from the passage* *On a scale of* *1-100**, I would pick 120, way above the percentage* *If I am asked how much I love and want you, no garbage* *Your eyes are calling me and speaking directly to me* *I can see the longing in your eyes as they speak of attention* *Your eyes speak a lot, more than your lips can mutter* *I just want to hold you and whisper into your ears, I won't stutter* *Your legs shone and the ground is blessed to have you walk on it* *Straight, long, clean, calling and tempting even from afar* *You walked up to me and my mouth opened ajar* *My feet led me to you, I want to keep you way better like my precious jar* *I want to hold your hands and feel the tenderness of your skin* *You are my favourite person, closer to me than my kin* *With you being around or not being around, I can't think* *You still have a strong hold on me whether you are close or not* *Your smile, your hair, your charm, your lips...* *Your dressing, your beauty, your kindness and your heart* *They dazzle me among so many things I love about you* *If you are in a room of crowded people, I would still find you* **Hold Your Hands.** *I don't know what goes on in your head* *I can't begin to lie and say that I understand how you feel* *Life dealt with you in the way life knows best* *You are holding on to the goodness that is left* *I just want to hold your hands while you go through it* *Holding your hands as a sign of assurance that you are not alone* *You don't have to go through everything alone, you have help* *I might not understand everything life threw your way* *I might not know of the times you soaked your bed with tears* *I just want to hold your hands while you go through it* *Life is not easy and I don't think it gets any easier* *But with the right help, mentality and best approach* *You can make a success out of every reproach* *You can still smile even amid your storm* *I just want to hold your hands while you go through it* *You don't have to go through life all alone, I'm here* *It doesn't matter what it threw at you or where* *As long as you keep fighting I will fight alongside you* *When you lose the strength to fight, I will encourage you* *I just want to hold your hands while you go through it* ***I am not my poem. I don't write based on what I go through mostly but what I have observed. I am a strategic thinker, so I mostly think outside the box. I am stating this so no one would think what I share always relates to what I am going through.*** *Thank you for your time.* *My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks. I am love's chemical content in human form and that's why I advise people to take a dose of "****Olawalium****" daily.* 🙈 Kindly follow me on **Noise.Cash**...

Wow! You are a great poem writer my friend olasquare. Me I rarely writing poems I think the last time I wrote a poem is when I was in my highschool years.
You can still do it again, my friend. Just start little... Do few lines a day and build it up. Thank you so much, dear. I appreciate this.
Thank you so much for this motivation from you my friend. I'm going to try it. Thank you.
I am more than happy to help, my friend. 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you so much my friend.🥰
Anytime 🤗🤗🤗
You're so kind my friend olasquare.
So are you 😊🤗😍
You have forgotten your poem for me uncle 🤣
🤣😂😂🤣🤣 I can never forget. I need to make it a masterpiece that you would print out and put beside your bed... 🥰🥰😍😘
I'm passing by though 🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶
Jealous KP 🤣🤣😂
😂😂😂
"Holding your hands as a sign of assurance that you are not alone." Aww, I love this line the most! It's always nice to have someone to go on with in life. ❤
Absolutely, it's a wonderful and sweet feeling to have. Thank you so much.
Just like the life's mystery, you can never know it all because when you think you have seen it all, life brings another turn for you. It's just like a movie I watched. The guy was on his school project and his topic was knowing the whole secret of the world “Ise aiye". He was dealt with mercilessly that he almost ran mad. He got confused at some point and went to meet his project supervisor for a change of topic. You want to know the secret of the world? Never! It's impossible. 😆😆😆 Just focus on what is important and you will learn a lot . You can never be at different places at once. I love your poems. So simple and understandable. When I don't understand a poem, I quickly take the exit door 😂😂😂
😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣 village people were on his case. No one can understand everything about life. There are some mysteries that runs deeper that we won't be able to understand it. Thank you so much, KP... I am glad you enjoyed them. Hahaha a lot of people shy from reading because of so many complicated words that's why I try to make it relatable that everyone can try their hands on it and gradually grow in it too.
👍👍
I really liked the poem "Resilient" thank you for sharing it with us.
Yaaaaay. Thank you so much, mama. I am glad you enjoyed this.
Life is indeed getting harder. The more we try to understand things, it more become not easier to understand. It was nice to have someone who will hold your hand in times your going through some difficulty in life, but sometimes the situation makes you feel the loneliness even more as no one was there to hold your hand so tightly. This poem makes me more sad😭. I'm sorry, but I love all your poem.
Aww...my friend don't be sad. Everything will be alright and I think I can relate to why you are sad, but don't worry, everything will be fine and he will be back in no time too.
Seriously, how can you do this. And it is not just 1 topic at that. Even if it's simple they are much relatable. They afe also not that hard to understand. Some people used unfamiliar words to their poems that sometimes it's hard to understand and I cant focus more on it because I have to google first thkse unfamiliar words 🤧. But anyways you are really good at this 😍
Hahahaha I can relate to that. Those unfamiliar words make it hard to relate with at a go. I am glad you can relate to this and you enjoyed them. Thank you so much, my friend.
You seem to write poems which is quite materialistic. Segregate them with different genres and publish it. Sure it will go well. Not everyone has the talent to write poems.
Thank you so much. I will keep that in mind and do something about adding it to my books.
I really admire writers who are into poetry and I envy them for having such brilliant minds. And upon reading this, I can say that you are so talented in terms of writing poems.
Thank you so much, my friend. I really appreciate your kind words.
