Ishilove: I'm not much of a poet. Let me try sha
*cracks cramped knuckles*

Here goes

In the beginning was a man and woman. . .


Ahh sheeit!! embarassed


The lady and the Poems


She loves poems
Try as she might
Words don't come
Her rhymes fail again
Again and again
Oh! Why do I bother?
She asks her brother
Will she find the source?
Or will she say enough?
To try is good
To persevere even better
Better gets better
Till the poems
Find in her
The best poet ever

And I will carry you to the land you've never been before
The land of sweet passion and unforgettable memories

Tgirl4real: I'm just doing copy and paste from my diary o.lol

I hope it's making the thread colourful. wink

NAIRALAND

I know a land . . . .

So far away and yet so close within
A land of plenty troubles
A land of knowledge
A land of different people, race and colour
A land full of character assasination
A land of mind readers

An anonymous land

. . . a land where many run their mouth foul
Where many display gutter character
Where many are vulnerable . . . always a prey for the chauvinistic apes
Where many are innocent and defenseless
Where many are creative, ambitious and selfless

A land full of thoughtless and manner less people
A borderless land . . . found only on the World Wide Web


Do you know it is a small world?

No matter how you think you are anonymous on this land
There is someone on this land that knows you

Yorubas will say. . .
Eefin ni iwa . . . Character is like smoke

You may think you have escaped now . . . don’t be too certain
What you are today will certainly show up in your face tomorrow
Wherever you are, be it far away or near
Or be it on Nairaland

Please behave yourself.

My 2 cents

Whoa!! NICE!!!!!!!!!

Some break promises yet many more keep them

Where is everybody na?

Now that I am about to find a career in poetry grin




Anyways this is is dedicated to the ladies I have already won or about to win their hearts:

Tgirl4real, Ileke-idi, Missy b, Rocktation and cuddlemii

This thing called love….

Plays the sweetest melody and makes wars to cease
Yet can make the strongest weak

Blind to wrongs and makes wrongs right
Yet can make wisest fool

Turns eternity to a moment and moments to eternity
Yet can make sweet sour in a moment

Beautiful yet dangerous
Still I rather risk all to love… for what is life without love?
