I nominate IBeing Me for week 39 Perfect Poet Award

Africa My Home

Lost in the controversy of

Being of colour.
Being born in a country
With amazing history.
Africa she is loved by so many.
Her beauty shines from mountaintops,
Her land covers greenery
And fruitful life,
But deep down in her roots
She is struggling with poverty,
Her children are in danger,
As cities get flooded,
By enemies, weighing her down.
Oppression, racism, starvation.
Politicians, trying there best,
Some hard at work, and some hardly
Give a damn.
We need to save her, before they destroy her.
Her beauty turns to darkness.
Africa my home,
She inspires me to be my best,
Overcoming apartheid,
Living in the era of destruction.
She will get over,
She will arise from her ashes,
She is my future.

The Wait

We waited for this day to have come

For so long, but we never thought

This is how it would end.

The two of us meeting for the very first time.

We spoke so much about it,

Yet there you are, standing, your face

Looking panicked,

She  won't come, she must have seen me.

And walked off.

I see you looking around you.

You can’t see me standing there out of eyesight.

Deep down in the pit of my stomach,

It’s whirling and turning.

I myself was looking forward to this day.

But in my case I wasn’t hoping for you,

But for her to come through those sliding doors

At the airport,

Its another person’s face I wanted to see,

It was another person my face wanted to light up.

As painful as this must be,

I wish I had the nerve.

To

   Walk

           Away

But my legs didn’t want to.



This Poet Rally Award for Wk38 from Jingle

I have this undying love for you,

That burns in the pit of my tummy.

It’s like fire that has a flame

Shaped in a heart.

The red bloodshot paint

On my wall is the symbol

Of love in its rarest kind.

We sometimes forget that love

We once had,

But then we get days like valentines

To remind us of how much

We should appreciate the love

We have received,

Sometimes we grasp love

As a thing that we can hold

Like a possession, without

Thinking that love also need to

Spread his or her wings.

Love is pure, kind and gentle.

We should love without holding

Past pains and hurts.

What more can I say about love,

My devotions and my words

And my actions may say something else.

But I know what is in my heart,

I know who I am and whom I love.

My actions may say otherwise,

But if you truly knew me,

You would know,

I am just a girl asking you to accept

My love as it comes,

That gifts and money

Is not important,

Love, respect and honour will do.

Whisper In The Dark

The lonely empty feeling

Creeping into your mind,

Dark as the night,

As you hear those whispers,

Feeling lost, losing you.

You feel lonely and ragged,

Drained from grieve stricken

There you lay empty and broken,

Finding yourself in the hospital.

Hearing you say,

“I don’t want to lie to you,

But I am getting weaker and weaker.

Attached to a drip that is feeding

You to get better.

You promised me you’d fight this.

No you’ll never be alone

I will let you hear to those whispers,

Whispers in the dark.

God will be the one holding your hand,

The one that you run too.

His love is burning, consuming fire.

When darkness comes,

He’ll light the candle for you,

Hear his whispers in the dark.

Whispers in the dark.

When darkness comes you know I’m never far,

Hear the whispers in the dark

Whispers in the dark.

A Radiant confidence

God is confidence,
His love is radiant.
A sure way to cultivate a
Radiant confidence in God,
Is to recall, with thanksgiving,
God’s goodness to you in past days.
Look inside yourself and ask
Did I give thanks, did I feel confident
In his presence.
We sometimes overlook the things
He has done, but when you remember
The way God has worked in your
Life you face the future confident in
The reliability of God.
Thanksgiving walk hand in hand,
And if you ever find your confidence
Is beginning to wane give thanks to God.
For past guidance and blessings
And you will find your confidence slowly
But surely returning.
In praising and thanking you my Lord,
I renew my confidence and inspiration
And find my heart filled with thanksgiving.

Colour of my love(Villanelle) Award winning poem

My love for you is like the colour of the rainbow
I would paint it for you
And sketch your lips and your brow.

I would wrap your arms around your waist.
I will trace a hand around your face,
My love for you is like the colour of the rainbow.

And paint a picture of us holding each other tight,
I will colour my love for you, each and every night.
And sketch your lips and your brow.

I will colour my love for you,
And spread it all around for two.
My love for you is like the colour of the rainbow.

Its beauty with in my heart,
Make you mine and draw our future in strands,
And sketch your lips and brow.

The sun to warm your heart,
But our love will never part,
My love for you is like the colour of the rainbow,
And sketch your lips and your brow.© C Davids

Despite the lies that you're making
Your love is mine for the taking
My love is
Just waiting
To turn your tears to roses

Despite the lies that you're making
Your love is mine for the taking
My love is
Just waiting
To turn your tears to roses

I will be the one that's gonna hold you
I will be the one that you run to
My love is
A burning, consuming fire

No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes I'll light the night with stars
Hear the whispers in the dark
No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes you know I'm never far
Hear the whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark

You feel so lonely and ragged
You lay here broken and naked
My love is
Just waiting
To clothe you in crimson roses

I will be the one that's gonna find you
I will be the one that's gonna guide you
My love is
A burning, consuming fire

No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes I'll light the night with stars
Hear the whispers in the dark

You'll never be alone
When darkness comes you know I'm never far
Hear the whispers in the dark

When darkness comes I'll light the night with stars
Hear the whispers in the dark
No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes you know I'm never far
Hear the whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark
Whispers in the dark


What Do You Hide Behind Your Eyes

Your eyes hide pain and sorrow. Maybe you keep things to yourself, to pervent worry or concern from your friends and family. Your tears are only seen by you and you plan to keep it that way. The only place you cry is when you are alone. Maybe you feel lost... or alone. If you do feel lost or alone, you are not the only one who feels that way. I feel like that everyday, because I am so misunderstood. People may not be understanding you right now, because you may not have them the complete story or you are talking to the wrong people. i know it is hard, but make them listen for once. I did that and things were better for a while. PS: If you feel alone, go to Youtube and type in Whispers In The Dark. It is a song from Skillet, but it is a really good song. It is also best if you listen to the offical music video. Tell me if you like the song please.
