FEATURING...
WALLS OF UNENDING SCARS
By: Uche Uwadinachi
I have seen
The four walls
Coated with gory hand-prints
Of criminals and suspects
In-scripting awkwardness
Pleading for a public presentation
I stared at slogans
Screaming….
“we die…innocent”
“i was here”
“and so what”
“are you the president?”
“dem go fire me”
“na today”
“…save us”
My heart tears my eyes
And the graffiti spawns
Ceaselessly….
My head smothers
As ravaging foul odour
Of urine and shit
Shutters me to worship
At the walls of unending scars
With my own “craze-words”.
Hell is cell!
The black bowl
Smiths into a black hole
Bloats for the unborn convict
Guilty – of life, wanting to survive
…raiding flames at night
…beaming red in flight
…yellow coal for ice
Collies for the burning
Of our already hurt hearts.
“Pollease”…police
Poll for faults
Lease of crimes
To catch and lock our lives
Into the bloating black hole
Of a cell.
And so
The walls persist
A writing cry of the weak
Dying…to die today
And died…. Tomorrow

HELPLESSLY IN LOVE
This love won’t make me blink or fall asleep
It’s not a dream, it's reality lured out of fantasy
I’m helplessly in love with you
Do you know
that the sound of your laugh, is the antidote to the sickness of human race
Do you know,
That your titanic chest, is the road map to heaven's gate
it saturates my innermost being into a reckless gentle haste
It seized my brain for a thousand years in a day
And locked me into your presence from a distance
Far enough to beat the lacuna between Mercury and Neptune
Between morning and another shrouded dawn
Between genesis and end of eternity
This love exist in reality’s reality
I’m helplessly in love with you
Every moment I taste the memory that brings forth the image of your face
I experienced decades of bliss in one breath
Life cannot keep up with the game
‘Cos every time I gather my thoughts in your name
The hotness in mercury goes to rest
As the sun feast on my chest
For the sun, turns out less hot to compete against the fire of love that burns in me
You are the life that keep me breathing
I’m helplessly in love with you
My cautions live out of what the envious mouth of the world can say
Because not loving you would lead the moon astray
Not loving you will shatter the heart of heaven
Will cease a beauty from the rainbows' seven
No need to mouth a question
I’ve seen it all through the diamonds in your eyes, you are my vision
And I’m helplessly in love with you
I will keep singing this only truth
I’m helplessly in love with you
Every time you stare at me
Time loses concentration
The first time you gazed at me
The wall of Jericho crumbled down
Without singing Hallelujah
That intoxicated tune in your lung that calls only my name
Made the devil a born again
Those lines that made up your six packs
Rewrote history at a glance
And made me rise helplessly in love with you
When you finally decide to hang your doubts behind you
Let certain certainties find you
Before we communicate with God
Through the cut
I will bleed in love till forever dare to enter our court
I’m helplessly in love with you
When we kiss away our frights, the speed our tongues would go
Would prove that, AIR is not the fastest means of transportation, it’s not even close
You’re my finest player
I will be your goal keeper
You can score as many goals as you can
For I don’t mind
You are my peace of mind
You are the divinity that is hard to find
You are the passion that burns in my soul
You are my heaven, my entire goal
I’m helplessly in love with you
Love is a positive fight only true soul mates can win
You’re the mate of my soul, the only genuine source of good feeling
You are the disease; I don’t want to be freed from
Every time you confess your love for me, the child in me springs up
And put our present continuous love poems on re run
This love won’t make me blink or fall asleep
It’s not a dream, its reality’s reality
I’m honestly helpless in love with you.
