Weekend Poems.
It's been a while...so I decided to dig these poems out... I mostly go with however it comes to my head. I would love to know which one you can relate to the most. **How The Narrative Changed.** *Isn't it funny how the narrative has changed?* *From the mindset that* *you have to study to get rich to* *you have to get rich to study?* *Isn't it funny how the narrative has changed?* *From the format that* *you have to be gainfully employed to make a living to* *you have to have the skill to make a living.* *White-collar jobs no longer pay better than the blue collars* *and education isn't the best legacy anymore,* *sometimes, Que sera, sera isn't even so anymore,* *As you now determine what your destiny is by yourself.* *Isn't it funny how the narrative has changed?* *Where were we when these things were changing?* *Or were we told lies when we were growing up?* *Because this reality doesn't look like what we were told.* *Truly, the world isn't stationed at a point,* *It's evolving and we need to adjust to its standard,* *The narratives which we were told,* *Has changed from what it used to be.* *Life changes but the important thing is never to stop moving* *Education pays for those who want to go on that line* *And for those with skills and craft, just be diligent and it pays too* *Life happens, and situations change but the hard work just never stops.* **Rollercoaster Emotions.** *It's scary, yet blissful,* *it's funny, yet peaceful,* *it's teary, yet happy,* *it's threatening, yet lively.* *The moment you are laughing and hurting at the same time,* *The moment you are anxious and hopeful at the same time,* *The moment you are trustful and doubtful,* *you just don't know what you'll be feeling next.* *Lovey-dovey and strife at the same moment,* *truly, the heart really can't make decisions* *unless it is properly controlled,* *that's why you have to be in charge.* *You take charge of your emotions* *so it doesn't take charge of you,* *you control your emotions* *so you won't regret your decisions.* *Emotions are rollercoasters* *no matter how perfect you seem,* *you have the tendency of being betrayed by emotions,* *stay and take charge of it.* **What Love Is To Me?** *It is not the attraction at first sight,* *neither is it the formation of words on his or her lips.* *It isn't the structure of his or her body,* *neither is it because of the calmness on his or her face.* *It isn't the "You are beautiful",* *neither is it the "I love you".* *It isn't the "I want to be by your side"* *neither is it the "We can be better for each other"* *As much as love isn't all about just the feelings,* *Love to me is,* *the feeling I got when I made the decision to love you,* *the feeling I get every time I am with you.* *Love to me is,* *the savoury words you fill my ears with,* *the attention you lavish on me,* *and the longing to be with you always.* *Love to me is,* *the level of understanding we have got for ourselves,* *the cruise, play and vibes,* *as well as the moment of our seriousness.* *Love to me is,* *the future we are planning, the world we are creating,* *the memories we are making* *and the promises we are keeping.* **Creativity.** *I know not why, but* *some days, creativity pulls pranks on me* *and some days, it just cooperates with everything in me* *as though it's a member of the team.* *Dear creativity, normally,* *you are supposed to be a team with every other thing in me* *and I, being the team lead, decides when to be on break.* *Dear creativity, I have beckoned you to a board meeting today,* *to accuse you of not seeking my consent before taking breaks.* *What made you think you can make decisions on your own?* *What made you think you are better than other team members?* *Will you plead guilty or stand innocent?* *Will you make amendments or remain adamant?* *Tell me what your decision is,* *even though you can not be executed by this team.* *Shall we readjust the schedule to fit into yours?* *Shall we give more incentives to motivate you?* *Shall we give you consistent breaks to improve your productivity?* *Dear creativity, let us know!* **My Heart...For You.** *I'm neither an artist nor a fetcher* *but my heart draws to you.* *I'm neither a drummer nor a teacher,* *but my heart beats for you.* *I know nothing about gravity,* *but this thing pulling us close should be gravity.* *I know little about matter* *but I understand that you occupy the space in my heart.* *Without you, I am like the earth in the beginning,* *without form and void,* *mostly, I feel like I am blinded by darkness* *but your presence fills me with light.* *My heart is for you,* *the best and worst of my emotions,* *the happiest and saddest of my days,* *are filled with the thought of you.* *Your presence made me wonder* *how I survived before meeting you.* *I really don't wish to go back to before,* *I want my world occupied with the fruits of you and me.* *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.* π Kindly follow me on **Noise.Cash**...

I really like your poem sir. I will pick some of the lines in your poem sir and I will try to tell it to my girlfriend. I can't wait to see her reaction.π
That would be amazing and I feel honoured. Thank you.
Ola, Dara is looking cute with more cute words. I love the poem, "How did the narrative change".
Thank you so much, my dear. Yaaaaay. I am grateful.
All poems are beautifully written, love them all and can relate to three poems but I like the third one what is love to me, for me love is not saying I love you but to take care of the person whom we love.
Thank you, Katie. Yes, love is more than words. It is about actions.
You are really an amazing and yet good father to Dara sir Ola! you express your feelings with your poems that everyone also can relate.you are one of a kind God bless you moreπ
Thank you so much, Maria. You are an amazing person. Thank you.
I fell in love with your poetry forever. You write many beautiful poems. The feeling of love is different. Love comes from deep in the heart. I like your poems very much.
I really appreciate your words and I am encouraged. Thank you.
It is not as if our fathers and mother's lied to us but the fact is that life is not constant. Everything and everybody changes almost every minute. Great poems...
Life changes. What worked then isn't working now and what's working now won't always work going forward too. Thanks for that
Awww. Your heart beats for meπ₯°π₯°π₯°. Such a beautiful poem. That's the one I love mostπ₯°π₯°π₯°. Please make sure that your heart continues to beat for me oohπ©
π€£π€£π€£π my sugar. Thanks a lot boo.
I love the first poem-how the narrative changed... It's just too real
Thank you and I am glad you enjoyed it.
Que sera sera.. An old song I learned when I was in Primary... Hope you are doing fine there
I love the song too. I'm doing great, Janey and how are you too?
Love is definitely the longing to be with loved ones. Regarding the first poem narratives should be changed because people who are smart enjoys his life irrespective of his qualification compared to ones who are highly educated and waiting for a lucrative career.
Absolutely...we all have our individual differences that makes us special.
I like the first one how the narrative changed and i can relate to it, we as a narrative changed, we want to get study, want to be rich and want a life full of happiness
A lot of things keep changing as the world is moving. It's important we move with the world to get the most of things... What worked years ago might not be relevant again presently.
Rollercoaster emotions is what I feel right now, exhausted from taking care of my baby yet I am very happy
I can relate to your mood my friend. It's a mixed feeling. How is your baby doing? How are you doing?
Roller coaster of emotions I can relate to for this week. Been pulling myself up all week. Let me tell you it's tougher when your both busy and tired. But here I stand tall and ready to battle some more!!
That's the feeling...and that's the best attitude for it. I felt this all week too...but we keep fighting...
Wew! You are a βmakataβ. Makata is a Filipino term for poet.
Hahahaha I love the sound of that.
I want my world occupied with the fruit of you and me....great poem And then most poet write my pen bleeds but yours speak so funny πππmy lovely little friend daddy heart you alot
Hahaha yes, it doesn't bleed...it speaks... Thank you so much. Deeply appreciated.
Lovely poems Ola! My favourite one is "What Love is To Me" as it is very profound.
Thank you so much my dear friend. π€π€π€
