im a lover of life, im a lover of soul and things that breathe, im a lover of love and like everyone else, i long to be loved.... i often get in the way of loving life truly with no restrictions, because i sometimes accept the limitations within society, im human so i err, that also means im unique, just like everyone else. :)

FEEBLE
its Wednesday, and finally i get some time to myself to breathe, there is just something about the mid week that makes me feel i could hit the pause button on life. Ahhhhhh (sighing out aloud). So #confession, it did feel weird that valentines day came and went with nothing special planned. No big weekend hotel getaway or no nice dinner or no gift exchange, im gonna have to get used to this. besides that anyways, i was thinking of the vision i have for this blog, and i would hate to be the cliche of just being another poetry blog, as i have said, i want to be like you favorite book, even though you may have read me, i would love you to come back and browse through my pages just so
you could capture the feeling you had the first time you read it. Anyways, for the poem for today, i decided to make it short and concise (*yeah i know im repeating myself, i might as well say short and short, or concise and concise) because i figure everyone who reads this blog is busy as much as i am, and it wouldnt be fair if i forced you to read a huge ass Essay and call it a poem. anyways, the poem is called feeble..... (i think im gonna soon start running out of names to call my poem, its not enough i come up with the poem itself, now i have to come up with titles, shessh, soon, im gonna start naming my poems, poem 1, poem 2 poem 3 and so on and so forth, abeg jo).... okay, without further ado. here is my work. Enjoy.
Poem
i come to you again today
bare and emotionally naked
i clawed my skin off my flesh slowly and deliberately
till i got to the center of my heart
now it hangs over my bed post like drapes
im here again today
ready to be whipped and prodded
for all my emotional transgressions
from a feeble heart to an open forum
these written words are the prize possessions of a lonely heart
thread on them lightly
as if these words
were the first steps to the pathway
of your heart

I just love the underlying ambivalence of this particular poem... so we have at one end strength and at the other end of the equilibrium there is feebleness and like all things in opposition they are at war.. like I always say knowing u are weak or have a weakness is a trait only of the strong.. yo cannot be strong unless u have genuinely overcome feebleness..LOVELY!
ReplyDelete@jeanelle it really feels like each poem i write is open heart surgery. so i have to learn to accept my weakness to find strength in the end. glad you like it. :)
