NEVER ALONE

Every second, every minute and everyday
I am so into you 
As does a butterfly attracted to a flower
You are always on my mind

Its no wonder I could never throw the feelings away
Seeing your face all over my mind is detrimental
I wish you could lock the door and throw away the key
So I can spend all the world with you

Seeing you in my world is magic
Life is working abnormally alright
Let me into your world
Let me hide in your shell with you

I FOUND A GIRL

I found a girl
She is good enough for me
Makes the sun smile at me
She is everything in my dream

She drives the loneliness in my heart
She got everything I could ever asked
And we both love the same song
Someday I am going to take her home

Have you ever had that strange feeling?
Overwhelming that you can not explain it
Everyday she makes my heart blossom
My world will never remain the same

BROKEN SUN

The sky sickly shade of broken sun
Reminds of spilled memories of love sour
As if it is full of shackles settled in the heart of men
Over the burning desire of a woman’s emotion
Leafless trees shattered by the winds grew teeth

Tossed into obscureness of the heart
Walls could not stand the cold invaded hand of time
Mercy got no alibi to justify such ungrateful act
It was crawling forever like my worst winter

Of all I have been through over shredded years
The kind of life I seek is resilience to betrayal
With no surname to her past
All I have left is nightmare of the embrace

The black streets overshadowing the city
Houses fading into the night like stars falling from the sky
Lights, lamps cannot illuminate these feelings I wear
I lie in obliviousness staring at the deserted evening

I climbed to the rooftop and stare deep into the sky
Flagging my thoughts yet with empty eyes
Wrapping every little strength deprived of happiness
Bared a wooden pride, while deathly winds takes away this misery

A RAINBOW SKY

Emotion tossed amidst a rainbow sky
Words scrambled like dry leaves falling from a tree
Barely alive for she was too frail
Carelessly shattered, too broken to lay on an emerald grass
Closed to obscenity, heard her heart beat profusely

As does a thousand footsteps
Treading tears bore out of sentiments
The smile from a fragile heart
The feeling of love cast out to rot
Dying in absent of a warm tight cocoon

DO YOU MIND IF I STILL LOVE YOU?

The past relationship we had is an awful story

Building on a foundation made of plastic

It crumbles when the wind comes at nightfall

I hurt you, do not know what I was thinking

Believe me when I say I am ready to learn how to love

I am not the same man once used to be

I have swallowed my pride and ready to cry

I have realized you are all that I need

Would you allow me to kiss you?

There is nothing I could do to cover your scar

Look at your mirror, do you see me in your heart

Because I am right here

Can I take you for a ride out of here?

It is better if you could the pain let go

I found out the way I showed that I care was stupid

I should not have gambled with your feelings

Every day it is you I am thinking off

My heart, car and home, I would let you have

Every foolish behavior and wrongful words said

Give me a moment, let me make it right

You are the first true love I knew
What need I do to re-write this love
Please babe, do not allow my plea amount to nothing
Because I am still in love with you

BATTLEFIELD

When you are in the battlefield

The enemy armed and ready for war

Drop your arms, throw up a white flag

It is high time to call for a truce

We want peace and no more war

How can we tell our children stories

Of violence, murder and destruction

And blame the gods for our deeds

On both side, war is self-destruct 

In our homes, loved ones are deceased

This brings sadness and hate

To an already dilapidated society

We ought to fight to save the world

Tyranny from harming our children unborn

When the sun set at the edge of a new day

Embrace one another with an open hand

I SWEAR

I see the questions in your heart
I see the thoughts running in your mind
As Valentine day come and goes by
You asked, is he  leaving me or does he still love me?

What I feel about you is genuine and real
Every thing about you is worth a lot
I could not afford to lose such a precious gem
In my lonely night you are the stars

I am so sorry you are all alone
I wish my love could be your cloud
Cover all your sadness into a tender smile
And bind the stars in your heart

Every hour, everyday, I think about you
Like sunrise, I feel the warmth of loving you
Wish you are here dancing with me tonight
Holding me tight while I lead you through the night

I LOVE YOU

A LETTER TO CYNTHIA

Dear Cynthia

Pardon me to dip my pen into an ink

And pour out my feelings in black and white

The Lurking feelings I have been holding back

For years I have been lonely and sad

Walking around with an unsettled mind

I could not fight my emotions right in front of you

Dying in abject silence, yet nothing I could do

When a man is in love, he becomes broken and weak

To the alluring qualities that sums a woman's heart

Her looks, her charming smile and sense of humor

They are too inviting to look away from, this has no cure

For me girl, can you keep a secret?

I love you more than a child  loves chocolate

Thoughts of you have shattered my heart

They are endlessly runing free inside

I sat under the moonlight and imaging what you see

When you look up the sky past the tree

Do you see a picture of you and me?

Strolling down the ridges in your dream

Wherever this letter may find you

Know that someone out there cares about you

And is dying of a symptom un-diagnosed

For a reason of genuine love withhold

FRIEND: LIGHT OF LIFE

I am very much thankful to God
Because He sent me you in my life
When my path becomes dark and odd
You lead me the way and give me light

Sometimes, to message you I forgot
But not my fault, when my battery low, i got
Don´t get mad and angry if there´s no message from me
As an issue having no electric or network, could be

But what I am asking to God, is to keep you from danger
That He may give you breath and life longer
Shower His generous blessings upon you
And to pursue you in your dreams to be come true

As my friend and sister/brother, I count you.
In times, sharing of joy, pains and sorrow
As you my friend, I would never forget you
Because my heart has been learned to love you

As long as there is a wave of blood in my veins
And have time and chance to show my love to chain
In this humble heart, you will always in memory, pass
Even when under the ground, I gaze up in the roots of grass.

PRETTY ROSE

Gazing into the sky of your eyes
Seeing the glittering infinite stars

Solitude made my heart beat fast
Amplitude of high vibrant feast 
as if towards Mars 

Passionately hugging your poetry
Affectionately flying high totally 

Your love is always lovely 
From innerheart
This pretty rose is yours truely

END OF TIME

I hope the angels will come and take me away

Life I have been living is like an outcast

No one to take my problems away

Everywhere I go there is a dark cloud

The world has be hoarding too much treachery

Throughout my childhood, many times my heart died

The sun has no reason to stay

Right in the heart looming is a dark side

Some think this is all but a game

I do not blame you for not understanding a mother’s pain

Losing her only kid, to her the world will never the same

Life is worthless when there is no gain

I missed my childhood

Cannot afford to witness another child suffer in vain

I swear to give my last breath, no matter if it is wrong

To prevent the future of a child from unlawfully be slain

I hope God forgive us from this dreaded act of sin

Folding our hands, watching those wrongfully executed

Tell me; is it true we are all going insane?

We have lost our path, there is no more faith

A LOOK AT LIFE-5

Oh God! let me have a pair of wings
To fly down the past, where I could not live
But cherished all along

Let me have a pair eyes to look and appreciate
All that is beautiful and romantic, the smile
Of a child to the scenic beauty of earth
The bewitching looks of a girl in her teens to The dainty cheeks of a newly wed

Let me have a heart
To feel and reciprocate
Love in all its colours
Beauty in all its forms
That I sadly missed
Over the years

Let me have a mind
That never roams and
Hangs on to the object of love
So fulfilling and beautiful
In this world of glamours

"Stop Trying" by: Akan Udofia

TOO LATE

It is never too late 
To put up a fight
The moon may be up 
While the sun may be down 

It does not mean life can not wear a smile
The stars and moon makes life beautiful 
In as much the sun brings warmth 
To the world after winter is gone 

The man pulling a chart across the street 
Might not be rich as the person working in a bank
Because he does not put on a red tie and black suit
Does not mean he had to beg to feed 

The trees do not beg the earth for water 
Yet she grows tall and reach the sky 
Under her wings the birds nest for shelter  
The earth restored by the little seeds that falls off her heels 

Life sometimes teaches us silly lessons 
Like a man who tills the ground to feed
He does not need to fight for freedom 
His house got all the resources they need 

Watch around you oh beloved brother
Does death have the mandate 
To walk about knocking at a helpless woman's door 
Stop the hate and life will be filled once again with joy
