Gambler

The cash is spent,Even to the last cent.Gambling is a bad habit,To be a dad you’re unfit. It’s time to break this pattern.This is a game you’ll get burnt.It’ll erode your all,Be your downfall. If you value your family,Stop living dreamily.For your ow...

Creep

25 Jan 2021 1 minute read 0 comments emily2u

Do you know you’re a creep?How you make use of your lady!The way you make her weep,It’s like she has a secret malady. The promises you’re making,It’s heartless if you can’t fulfill.She’s like a flower that’s fading,And losing her will. Do you know yo...

Leaving Home

24 Jan 2021 1 minute read 2 comments emily2u

My first time leaving home,Out of the comfort zone;I’m jittery and excited,Many adventures expected. My flight is announced,Your despair pronounced.To undertake this, I must.So, do not feel thus. Now I’ve to leave ---Here, keep this special leaf;I’ve...

Perfect Ten

23 Jan 2021 1 minute read 0 comments emily2u

Filled to capacity are his lectures,Because of his wonderful tan,And striking features ---Daniel’s a perfect ten.Stepping into the hall, at once,All swoon unashamedly.He’s the type every girl wants,On this, none will act coyly.They get into fights,Co...

Confession

22 Jan 2021 1 minute read 1 comment emily2u

I’ve a confession to make ---I’m not trying to shock;But doing this for my own sake;There’s this guilt I’ve to unlock. Being married for ages,Should have been conditioned.Yet during the later stages,Became more disillusioned. Was at the wrong time an...

Not For Sale

21 Jan 2021 1 minute read 2 comments emily2u

My love has no price tag,It’s not for sale.I’ve placed it in a bag,Out of reach from any male. I’ve heard too many stories,About tears and fights,Caused by third parties,Also lonely nights. My heart is sterilized,For I’m smart,To have realized,That i...

Battered

20 Jan 2021 1 minute read 0 comments emily2u

Head throbbing,Blue black eyes,Lips bleeding,Soothed by ice. Resting on the sofa,Thoughts of our first date ---Things have gone too far,Now, I rue my fate. I’m a battered wife,Throughout my marriage.Must I put up with this life,A husband so savage? T...

Correspondence

19 Jan 2021 1 minute read 4 comments emily2u

A stack of letters,Tied up, yellowed.Inside, discussed all matters,Now, the writers have mellowed. These letters traveled many miles,Carried world issues and local news.Recipient broke into smiles,Impatient to read the sender’s views. Envelopes with...

Kinship

Do not be afraid,Of what comes your way.As I’ve repeatedly said,I’m beside you everyday. No matter what you do,You can hold my hand.I’ll surely be there too,Support you ‘til the end. Ours is more than friendship,It’s only been two years,But we’ve a f...

Dashed

17 Jan 2021 1 minute read 0 comments emily2u

 I’m carrying a horrendous scar,When into the ravine I crashed.My dream of being a superstarIs catastrophically dashed.Wanted to be a celebrity,Jetting the world over.Now have to face up to reality,But my decisions on this waver.Is there meaning to c...
