Life In Poetry- How To live it.

This can be a starting point or the last kick of a dying horse! Anyway, it has been time since I started writing poems, to be exact, from 1998 when I was in primary school. Poems themselves revolve under what I was going through by then, and in other times were my opinions about life. 

 I have lots of them in my note books that I want to share with the world by publishing them online, though I’m having setbacks and negative mind about the whole issue.

Writing indirect poems was my favorite style –still is- to hide my feelings and opinions behind the dark-mask from my readers and those who thought they are smart –the snoops- ,going around my back reading what does not concern them. It was fun asking my readers to explain what I meant only to realize they have picked a literal meaning of the whole thing.

Being secretive sometimes pay! However, there were days when I needed help (council) from my brother, but I did not want to talk about it verbally. In such a day, only my diary came in to speak on my behalf. Bad idea! My brother could not divulge an alluded message, so I forced to elaborate on my writings. 

Here is one of them, a 'heartbreak' Poem that I wrote before going in silent-mode for a full week.

Never Again. 6^th March 2006.

 Swimming in a river,

Largely dominated by crocodiles & sharks,

Of course, I know the consequences,

Now I’m wounded.., a call for sharks

Any minute, any time they will be here.

I have nowhere to run.., barred destiny!

The only option is to turn back,

Even though it is gonna be a war,

It won’t last for long, Just a few minutes,

Then peace shall prevail.

Mistakes! Mistakes! No more,

These are my words,

For real, forever I promise.

It was nice that after a simple clue, he was able to tell my hurting –though I doubt if he guessed right all encrypted words-, but it was worthy a trial and it did its purpose.

I wish to keep them coming in this style. However, I need your opinion how to publish these stories and Poems. You got any Idea that you wish to share with me; I would love to hear from you!

Our Love- Dreams Come True.

Sing me a song, that would make my heart joyful,

Invite me to dance, a love song that unites our hearts,

Give me your hand; hold me tight and let love take control,

No turning back dear, we are lovers forever,

Save your pace, for we have a long way to go.

Take me in your arms darl., and embrace me tight,

Hug me like never before, and let your mind drift away,

All these is love, plus signs of together-forever,

That only us,  can feel and appreciate!

It was an illusion of our minds, now it is the reality,

Like a tiny organism it was, but now our love is mighty,

Over and over again, people admire what we share,

Very sad! They will not feel what we experience,

Extraordinary affection, that goes beyond measure.

On a day like this, I saw you and felt it,

Nothing gave me a hint, that you and I are destiny,

Little I did, to pursue your love,

You are now here, dancing with me.., our love song.

You are my true love, the one I dreamt of,

Official key, that can access my love madness,

Unlock my true feelings, and enjoy our love life.

He Lies to Live

He was tall handsome and smart,
A smile could distinguish him from many,
But his ways of life was questionable.

He came to me,
Soft spoken clear voice,
As usual, greetings opened his needs.

A good listener, I pretended to be,
Nodding in confirmation and short answers,
He thought of scores,.. very wrong guess!

None could tell the guy was a conman,
Nothing could hint the motive of the guy,
He was just perfect, but I was much better.

His lies went in circles,
Confusion marked most parts in his story,
These made me realize who I was dealing with.

At the end he blessed me,
Walked away to another victim,
The same story..., he scored.

Love: Something Worth to Know

By then, love was not an issue, it was considered as something special for uniting hearts and people lived in happiness for the rest of their lives. However, in our current generation, love is like a spark in people's hearts -it comes in flash like thing, and so does it end-. Where did it go wrong? Be my guest!

Well, we have to understand the meaning of love and the effects it comes with in our lives. This is only a starting point to understand why it is worth living in love life, how to keep it going, and what keeps it strong in a relationship.

Meaning of Love:

According to Wikipedia, love is described as 'an emotion of a strong affection and personal attachment'. However, an explanation that supports the first meaning of love is what we find to be more interesting, here it goes! ' Love is also a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection; and "the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another"  Love may also be described as actions towards others or oneself based on compassion, or as actions towards others based on affection' . Do these give us a hint? In summery, love is an endless strong affection, unconditional compassion and unselfish concern for other.

Living a love life:

Since we live in a world dominated or guided by laws and rights of humanity, love seems to come in second place in a relationship; this is the first wrong turn! Love is what brings people together, and no one is forced to stay with someone if there is no mutual connection. We are humans, we have feeling, we can adopt change -either negatively or positively-, we have rights to make a choice etc, but all these when placed in the right position at the right time would bring so much joy in a relationship and dissolve minor pains -a must- in any relationship.

It really depends on us to make a decision in our lives, either to adhere to love we have or go looking for a better greener love-life -which is actually more of an illusion than a reality-. Nevertheless, we are to rethink of the impact of our actions to our love partners, better to remember, ' Our neighbour's garden is always beautiful, but we never know how beautiful our garden is in neighbour's eyes'.

Things to consider in a love relationship:

(a) Trust- a very important factor in love relationship, for it helps one eradicate doubts.

(B) Caring- this comes as a supporting factor for continuity of love and brings a sense of belonging in a relationship.

(C) Understanding- this is the factor, which unites all other positive measures in a healthy relationship.

Global Warming!

The sun is rising high on the clear sky. Well, one would wish for some drizzles but it seems the rain has finally abandoned its daily free offers.

A day like this in early days in my life, my people and I would be indoor because of rains. Unfortunately, as I grow older and bendy, the seasons and climate changes to something unthinkable.

Should we go blaming actions of man on our planet as the cause of all these? I wish we can. However, life has to continue and what expected to us is to find a simple way to save human home (Earth).

When I was still growing -in height- our then president had a vision to safe our Country, he came up with a slogan 'Cut one and plant two trees'. As if he had foreseen the future of our country!

Now that every nation is fighting with global worming and aridity, we have a duty to make the world a better place for all generations. Reduction of Carbon emissions, good disposal of plastics & Technological rejects and working to invent greener technologies should be our main goal, whose agenda being to save our natural environments.

Industrial revolution was human's biggest invention. Having invented machines to make the work easier for people, and creation of employment hence improving human life -earnings in terms if salaries and wages-. However, something went wrong, or maybe negligence on our part created a problem for us all. We have seen where we went wrong, rectifying our mistake may take year, but it is worth a try anyway!
