SEE FROM YOUR KNEE

-
My spirit on the lanes low
In particular, with nowhere to go,
To and fro, I can't explain
That's what causes me pain.

Things fall apart too fast.
My heart respond not to haste

My life is in a continuous spin.
Struggling to force you out of in

My pen keeps on crying.
The inks running low
My hands numb and dying
Tired of the business of scribbling

My soul staggering to make
My body still from the constant shake.
My entire life aches

To death shall I make my way?
Shall hades make my eternity gay?
My mother says I go by knees.
Only he who goes by knees sees.

I will give it a chance
Afterall who gave hasn't taken

And then there was THE BRITTED SOUL which took me to tears till I cry no more. Unlike my colleagues wh...

SHALL I LIVE WITH YOU?

-
I remember that Saturday afternoon When a rose from heaven Dropped upon my shrine When my knees grew weak And made me kneel- so meek To the gentle tone of your eyes My love for you, endless as the sea The powers of Lovelorn in me broken And you in my soul, forever  you reign And with you, I long to linger For you, I'll be strong on my feet And with you, shall I live

THE GOOD OLD DATE

-
I longed to be your possession But you treated me with aggression I kept you - the best of my treasures I loved you; without measures My heart into pieces is torn The pieces are scattered down Then you walk back from away And I have yet another awful day I want to act out in my full wrath and anger But I won't expose my happiness to danger I'll wait to act with a heart full of love When another dream I have from Above Meanwhile I dwell in utter frustration As I live in the debris of admiration Do I complement you Or do I compliment you Which of these do I do best Answer me and let me rest When I do not make it with you at last I will forget that we ever shared a past © Demetrius White
