Play Me



Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love

Hamlet

 I sit out in the open

Under the blue sky

Spread from end to end

As far as the eye sees

I am a little dusty

Maybe more than I imagine

Out here it gets cold at times

The rain falls at will

The moon comes by at times

The stars prefer to just stare

Even when I don't see them

I have sat here for quite a while

A time I cannot quantify

I counted the seconds and minutes,

At first;

Then came the hours and days

Weeks followed

Until I lost count

Through the seasons and changes

Elsewhere they'd say spring and summer

Winter through autumn

I have watched the flowers blossom

The leaves have fallen

The nests have been abandoned

I have been here too long

Perhaps it is you I waited for

Maybe today is better than yesterday

My strings have gathered dust too

They are not rusty though

My keys long for a slight touch

A magical touch perhaps

One that will result in a melody

A tune that I lost long ago

I want to know how it feels

To be on fire again

I want to miss and be loved

I long to make someone dance to my tune

I desire to be the reason for happy smiles

Cheerful laugher and merry hearts

Blow off this dust gathered on me

Hit these keys of mine

Let the strings ring out

Make my heart alive again

Love me

Play me!

STILL THE ONE

My first promise was  i'll never be your EX. Second was to never,ever let you go. That is i'll fight for you no matter what! And i was ready for what will come next. I had no thoughts of loving any more. You had wholly engulfed my heart. Good thing i still love you the same.. I couldn't love you more i was at the climax. You also made your promises Im greatful you kept them. We still progressing.. despite the ups and down. Cause i know i  for a record you've never let me down. You always pick me, and dust me up.. Its now our Seventh anniversary. You've told me many of the  best things i yearned to hear. To an extend i just remember a summary You always tell me i have no idea of how much you love me.. You always say you love my deep voice. Its the music that everyday you want to hear And I'm always your best choice. I know they will be more,same time next year. We've the best moments that i just want to live in. Like the day i took ...

Bad Day

Cause I slept drunk yesterday, I wake up with a spinning head I can't tell left from right. I have to pull myself together and after a litre or two of chilled water with a squeeze of lemon I become steady,trying to wake my wife up since I can't do shit on my own, it's dark ;4 or 5 in the am-so I think, dogs are barking And a cock can be heard from a far,"why are you so stubborn!" slowly whispers ,my wife. Assuming that is rhetorical ,I let her be, I have to fasten my pace so I cannot be late for work. The weather is chill and mist has formed in most part of my neighbourhood, again I can't see shit and this time not because of the darkness but the mist. I have already left the house when I get a call from my boss "Hello, I thought we spoke yesterday and you promised to be here earlier than now!" "What!?,I mean sorry, I am on my way sir."I reply not knowing what we spoke about the previous day. My head is still floaty, memories about last nig...

Why did you laugh?

Why did you laugh? When you know your smile robs me of my senses, Takes my identity and also flashes my bright eyes, Unable to think about anything else but submit to you, Rob me of my masculinity and make me feel like a little boy. Passionately, intimately, you look me straight in the eyes, For your eyes are the windows to your heart, I can gaze straight through your beautiful soul, For I trust your eyes will never lie, no matter how hard you'd try. You should know, three things that makes my life complete  Are love, laughter, and you, my drug, my addiction, The laughter has lasted since the very first moment  Falling for you babynaa, has been so much fun. Regardless of whether it's giggles at the kitchen table  Or even full loud laughter any place we're capable  Every single smile, is an image of our affection  You're my dream come true, all I ever dreamt of. Our adoration, well that is somewhat more significant  Radiating through when our giggling is rid...
