THE FIRST GLANCE

-
I know why I  was away for the wonder
Sauntering down my way to wander
Narrowing all my hopes to zero
And raise my head to be the hero
Because my heart was there

Just by the first glance
I couldn't contain my silence
My heart and I are not at peace again
Since I tried a heart to win
Because my heart was there

Like a cough, out my feelings came
And I had to spill the point home
Like a cough, she swallowed my spit
And my soul said she's not for the pit
Because my heart is there

My catch and I; God and His throne
Life flowing from the throne through the sunshine
Bright and glowing as the morning star
At core of the sun, the son got a scar
Because my heart is there

I eloped from my tasteless life
With her all I had is enough
To hold and to cover
Till she can't say it's over
Because my heart is there

To my heart she's the apple
I'll keep forever at the table
She told me that if the sun went down
She'll stay by me till it's dawn again
Because our heart is there

As all that money can't buy
Will keep her from saying bye
I called her *Your Majesty*
And she called me *Your Highness*
Because our heart is there

  By Demetrius White I SHOULD HAVE BEEN A FOOL BEFORE. While I don’t really remember how stupid I must have been, I have to remember that when people saw me walk with my bestie, “a nice couple you make. Good luck guys”. Often, they looked at me sympathetically. Peculiarly, I never saw them look at her. Their scary eyes pierced me to my bowels and caused me a burning sensation that later, I realized was a haze of inflammation by a sudden heartburn right under the hot scorching sun. We used to spend forever together except for the late nights and early mornings. Then, I would either be jotting a little of poetry about this or that or watching the latest DJ Afro movies- I love his sense of humor and pride in the movies. Moreover he really has mastered the art of speech and subtle ways of enhancing the taste of his movies. Otherwise, I was reading a novel or online stories. 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
