Veekhy’s note: Hello there. This is a spoken word poem which I intend to make a video of, but then…I couldn’t wait. Lol! Be blessed! And yes, video would follow shortly. Leah. There was nothing to prepare me for what would greet my eyes as I glanced at the content of the paper she placed […]

Every day
Tonight, I want to write me some poetry. Not about balloons and ice cream Or battered hearts that have grown resistant to pain, Or the characters I met that would make a good story… Or boys and the one that got stuck in my head. No. This is “my” poetry. I have been trying too […]
Lover’s call
A different kind of tiredness. One that seeped past skin and bones to nudge on your soul. The kind that happens when you go night after night, day and night, chasing dreams with your lover’s call on hold. She was drained from the “plans putting”, “timer setting”, “nocturnal working”, cancelling, rescheduling… Lost and weak without […]
Break your own heart
What do you do when you already know it’s fire and it’ll burn you without mercy? But you also know the burning will take some time. That there’ ll first be the sweetest sensation ever; with fingers fanned with cool breeze and heart bleeding ice-cream and balloons… And maybe, just maybe, the fire will never […]
Questions #Poetry
She would love you when you are: distant, uninterested and cold. When there is so much uncertainty as to the mutuality of feelings, she would feel consumed by the desire to be close to you. See, it is when you seem “impossible to get” that she would love you and your unavailability would appeal to […]
Because you’re with me #Poetry
I’ll be a subtle liar if i told you that i am fine and not scared, that the redness of my eye is due to stress and not tears. I’ll be an awful liar if i told you that i’ve been strong and i slammed the door in the face of the little doubt that […]
This moment had been lived before #Poetry
This moment had been lived before…with fireworks, tight stomachs and heaving chests, weakened knees and watery eyes. Blinding chemistry so strong, it shielded them from whoever was so thoroughly jobless to stand behind yielding curtains satisfying salivating curiosity as to the proximity of the pairs of feet in sight. This moment had been lived before…with […]
How dare you love me silently? #Poetry
Maybe it never crossed your mind Because I don’t look like I’m about the loud life So you guessed that low key is just okay You know low key …hi, I miss you, I love you. Low key. But I’m just saying “how dare you love me silently!” Seriously, how dare you. You were right […]
Just Ramblings #Poetry #Keepingfaith
Days when u fully sit to think about things. Stupid things. Wrong impressions made, how you should have said “good night.” with a firm full stop and not a coma, how your reply to that joke was a high pitched sarcastic laughter with a very obvious snort in your voice. Excuse”you were in no mood […]
Errand Boy #Poetry
Gbi gbi. Gbi gbi. That was the sound of my heart beat when he looked at me. Because for so long, I had been invisible, living in my comfort zone, comfortably fixed at the corner of the narrow street, slightly away from any one’s eye. Yes, anyone who was too busy walking briskly thinking so […]
