POETRY: A Strange Wisdom


It is a wisdom that is strange to many
How much of a power words wield.
It is a weapon to the writer 
who fights injustice with his pen.

Words are versatile in it's creative power,
It can pierce the weakest of minds 
And drown the faint hearted.
It can soothe the depressed 
And heal the broken hearted.

It has the power of life and death.
It can mend and break apart,
It can make sick or whole,
It can bring a divide through war,
And foster peaceful resolution alike.

My Experience With Concussion (25/11/18)

Last night I found myself dazed, bruised, disillusioned and ultimately concussed after I had a supposed collision with a striker on the football field which I had no recollection of.

POETRY: The dilemma of a confused lover

I wonder why I gave room to foolishness When wisdom was knocking on my door. I gave you my very all Until I had nothing more to hold on to. I wonder why I didn't know how   To fully express the emotions  Cluttered in the aorta of my valve When a simple hi would have sufficed. I was falling head over heels When I should have stood tall Now I am all broken, sad and crushed beyond recognition. How could I ever forget The reflection of you Which was carved in my mind The first time I set my eyes On your beautiful face. The truth I held on to Was that you will be the one I have always dreamt about Every passing moment. Whose presence will fill me With endless joy and happiness. We started out as friends, My heart wanted more, But my mouth kept mute, I refused to listen  To the notes of love Banging at the doorstep of my heart. I wanted to speak to you, Div...
