Before You Break My Heart

I guess I should go now,
Though I don't know how;
But this time I have to be smart.
I have to end it all;
Before you break my heart.

So You Died

so you died!
when i heard,
i cried.

you were apple
of my eyes,
love of my life.

when you
left my side
i died.

i died
when you died.

Love is like a Firefly

My love is like a firefly
In a night of Hades
But you are as safe as an angel
Is safe in the ethereal haven
Where the Almighty oversees all.

I broke your Heart

Not all men
Are bad
But I'm bad
And black
At heart
Please, don't
Take this
To heart,
I can't hurt
A rat.
Though I broke
A heart,
Your heart.

Blind My Love

Blind my love for all
You beautyful whore
My love for her
Not one my heart won.
The whore it was
Hacked my heart
Made of stone
Amidst this cold.

Two Decades in America

Two decades have
I lived in America
Today I look farward
To my home,
My Africa.
I'll give anything to
Be home.
FOr it is of you alone
I think at home.

To my Academic Friends

To my academic friends
Who left with me,
.
They walk in the wells,
-in the rigs
-they sings
They control wealth;
But they forget young poets
.
Like me.

Our Father in Hell

Our father in hell
I imploy you to judge
Between me and my girl.

She left me in cold;
She broke my heart
You made of stone,
Though I feel better alone.

A Woman

A woman,
Not a Roman,
In Greek mythology.
But she is always
In my dreams,
And every time I try
To reach out for her,
I saw her fading
Into my reality.

He Died

He died in
Cold
And Lucifer
Went
For his soul
After
His first hell
In cell
On
Earth
He was taken
To deads
Hell
To suffer
A torment
Without end
Is this
Fair?
