“Queen of Words”by PRIME

Poetry for someone special @sophiathakur

You are the heart of poetry and the heart of the sun,Your words quickly pierces into my heart ’cause you are one. Your words taught me to stick to self But Poetry made me feel like I’m someone else.Conflict in my soul,Your mastery of heart cares for all that is to unfold.You are indeed the queen of words,Your throne explicate the reason why God is jealous. God gave me life but poetry made me live.You gave me this and this made me real.You were the headphone I put on when Dad screams From “Just a teenager” to “Be Queens”Diarrhoea of the mouth, your words dropped like a floated ink Til’ the truth came out and you became a cute poetic fink You were the light at the end of the tunnel I always look at when sailing through poetic torrent.Reminiscence; been that kid at the sandpit other parent tell their kids not to play with.Black skin over dark skills,You brought light to the feels Truly and surely,”the pages of your book turn themselves to our stories”……………………………………………👑Queen of words by PRIME

Cyber Love By Prime.

“CYBER LOVE” BY PRIME (Downloaded-Love Syndrome) Humans are currently suffering from “Downloaded-Love Syndrome”The first symptom is you trying to ignore this write-up to reply someone’s opinion of you on your Dm as they pop up on your notification boxI’m not going to force, compel or dare you to read this to the end, I would only advice you to so you would know what we are up against. 75% of teenagers/youths reading this are unhappy with their lives. They are either seeking three things; love outside home, within themselves and among friends. Now do you know that your are subconsciously selling your sovereignty by checking up your phone before you get up from bed? Or Do you know that you are constantly frying your nervous system picking up your phone every single minute cause you are reacting to what everyone thinks of you? Oh you don’t know? Let me elucidate, We live in a twisted world where everything revolves around Love; You are either getting a boyfriend/girlfriend to substitute the love you didn’t get from home/childhood or maybe just for the fun of it; You read a lot to feed your mind because you love yourself or you care-less because you are scared of what you’ll become. You hate being different and that is why you sell your time doing everything to please your friends even at the cost of buying their friendship. It’s shocking to see that “love” in our generation is no longer felt but “downloaded”.Everyone wants to get the “Hey’s ” and “Hello’s ” “what’s up bro” “You are looking pretty today” “nice layout ” “cute dress “Everyone wants to wake up in the morning to “I love you ” text with an emoji that mask the true feelings. It broke my heart that a friend of mine died of the same cyber sickness called “Downloaded love syndrome”. His name was Jeremy and he committed suicide few months a ago. Jeremy basically had everything money could possibly buy, he was born with a silver spoon. He never felt real love from home, within himself and among friends. It was always awkward when the family gather at the dining table to eat. They were all down with their phones and no one cared looking up to have an eye to eye conversation with each other and this was Father, Mother and kids having a family meal. It was sad cause they did that the entire meal. Jeremy never had friends because he was socially awkward. He would “flex” his friends to feel loved but still he couldn’t feel it even after the captions on his hangout pics like “OGess” “secure the bag” “MMBM”. He started writing down his pain on his status and that was when I noticed there was a shift in his philosophy of life. 3rd week of September 2019, Jeremy shockingly took his life. I know you would say “Jeremy is a fool, why would he take his own life….. As for me, I can’t comman kill myself oo.. “True but what an Irony as we all are a “living Jeremy”. The difference was that Jeremy was weaker.Cyber love! Have you asked yourself the core reason for conflict among nations? I mean war springing up from a mere text and it being misunderstood or misinterpreted. Now I want you to reflect and caption this “If you “love” your country, you would protect it. If you hate or despise a race, you would destroy it. “Think deeply about Cyber love! What do I mean? Once love is being transferred digitally, it could get corrupted or abused If love is transferred electronically, hate could also be transferred electronically Downloaded-Love Syndrome is what majority are suffering from. It then becomes a major problem for you reading this when there is a shift in your emotions especially when your phone battery is dead or you don’t have any data to go online. You become uncomfortable talking to people face to face but more comfortable texting them. If you notice this symptoms, then there is a problem. We are gradually moving to an era where love is transferred, downloaded and received online. Have you noticed that your friends posts are always about how much love they are receiving and how much you are downloading? Expressions are becoming more shorter (that’s Why I’m not surprised about stickers). How would you boldly tell me that stickers summarises all what you have to say? Even if it does, what happens to “expressing more of you “? What happens to having a face to face conversation of 10-30mins without being awkward about it? Science tells us that you could really detect someone’s feelings when you meet with them physically not just receiving fake emojis they send to you on social media. More than wishing someone a “happy Birthday” on your status, I suggest you call them on phone to hear their voice or make our time to see them because we are gradually moving into an era where everything typed would just be on repetition. I believe you noticed you subconsciously repeat the same thing in your social media chats like “HBD”, “LLNP”, “MAD OH”, “LOML”This is 21st century! We are technically turning into “human robots”Please share real love not cyber love. Leave that phone alone and have a good chat with your siblings at the dining table. Don’t let your phone control or cover your real emotions. Pls share To Help the human Race Cyber love by @PRIME

The Perfect Obsession By Preacher

Had i known
I never would have kissed you that night
Had i known
I never would have hold you so tight
I put on my forefather’s courage that night and said those three angelic words to you.
I don’t regret my action for its a moment i would love to relive
I just never knew my heart would never beat the same thereafter.

My innocent heart synced to your movements
The farther you go, the more painful it hurts.
You are the only living cure to this sickness!
I need a dose of you every now and then. No buts!
I feel your love deep in my soul
Locked in your love abyss. An Endless pit as dark as coal!
You control my dreams without a console
Creating Beautiful memories of us mixed with fear of losing you.
Fear and happiness. Theme of my daily dreams!
A perfect obsession this is!

I love you when you call me those beautiful names
I love you when you play with my little beards
I love you when you smile, frown, and sigh
It amazes me how you still look beautiful when you cry
And how your smile makes the wind blow faster.
If love is a riddle, I’d solve it just for you
If love is a work of art, I’d become your artist.
I never knew perfection could take a human form untill i met you.
My love for you is divine. No doubt

When love become too deep it turns into something else
Madness of the heart it is. Nothing else.
My heart is sick!
but i only want a dose of you; not the total cure
For i may be trapped in the land where lover’s never return.
But it’s also a paradise i will always adore.

Can you handle me? By Fumzy_fingers

I’m a bag of a lovely mess
Can you handle me?

I am volatile
The wind throttling
I’m the breeze slowly blowing
An Ash of my past scars
Coal of my present scars
Coal of my present wounds
Fire for my future laughter

I’m a being undiscovered
A secret undisclosed
Yet I am me
I’m the raging storm
Yet your calming sea

I’m a whole lot you don’t see
Yet that which you see is me
Or maybe you will never really see me

So I ask again
Can you handle me?

Dearest Darlene by Fumzy Fingers

What can beat your beautiful face
Devoid of all artificial aid
With a smile lighting it up
Such that shames even the rising sun

What music can man say is sweeter
Than the mellifluous sounds of your laughter
What sounds can pull man to ecstasy
Other than the reverberating tune of your voice

What can human say is most intoxicating
Other than the arousing scent of your body
What could make men falter
Other than the sensual gait of your steps

What can bring men to ruin
Other than the scorch of your scorn
What can bring women to doom
Other than the flames of your anger

Alas dearest Darlene
All are drawn to you yet run from you
For you are the mystery
Humans are cursed to ponder forever.

Self Acceptance by Michelle James

Self acceptance is the key to happiness. If you judge your self-worth with what you have achieved, you will be disappointed when things turn haywire. In today’s fast-moving world, people have time for nothing. Not for even themselves. The modern lifestyle is so demanding that we are forgetting the basics of healthy living that were taught and practiced by our ancestors.

We are so pre-occupied by our belief systems that knowingly or unknowingly we are heading towards self-destruction. The expectations and aspirations of the young generation are so high that even a small failure in their fulfillment pushes the individual into a dark, melancholy world.

Self acceptance is definitely the process of befriending the unconditioned self—the part of you that is more than just your name, your failures or your successes.

Accept yourself the way you are first, and then try to work on your faults to improve yourself. Stop uselessly criticising yourself. Once you find some time from your schedule to look within, you will find that you have a number of strengths and weaknesses in yourself. Accept them.

Accept your weaknesses and once you do that, only then you can make efforts to bring about a change. Say to yourself, “I like myself.” Try to build and maintain your self-esteem. Self acceptance is the first step toward expressing love for yourself.

You can’t be happy or sad without your approval – Author of pain

Love In Four Seasons By Michelle James

I want you to search June for the last piece of my heart
For I have walked away but I am sick
A part of me is struggling to walk on dry rustled leaves
Because my limbs are slave to your words
And my heart a captive to your summer lies.

You have not said the word
I have not said your voice in the autumn whispers
I long for your skin, like a baby yearns its mother
My stomach hurts badly and my chest burns daily
For sunlight has failed to bring me joy.

The rain is no longer a friend of mine
My garden is withered from lack of water
And April heat failed to bring me showers
Because I sit in the still shadows where you left me
Hoping you return the last piece of me.

I need you to say the word
I next to know you still care
So I can move on to find peace
I need you to tell December her frost is overdue
And you’d like to return to me now.
