Poetry, III.

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.
