I ALMOST GOT MARRIED.

-
Model: Keren.
(Prompt Poetic Tuesdays)
I almost got married yesterday,
Then she said no!
I, was hurt-
Broken like a poor drunk.

I almost got married yesterday,
She said,
If I could wait -
For one more year,
She, will surely marry me.

I almost got married yesterday,
I, was scared to ask her,
Then, then I gathered the energy-
She, ignored me.

DEAR SEX.

  📷 iStock Photos.  Dear Sex, To be frank, I don't think you are as bad as they say. You might be killing  me slowly, But, everything on earth is temporary, Why don't I hug you anyway. Dear sex, I have a feeling of having you everyday, Because when I embrace you, What matters is... The size, colour and the bed. I feel so uplifted everyday when we sit together. I know there is somewhere I missed protection, But I am proud I withdrew safely, I believe no one is infected, If there is, Why are there no victims. So how dare they say I am a victim- When there are no victims. Dear sex, I know,you are not addictive- As they say. When I am driving, I pace in intervals, Until my partner complains about my speed. I should have been so critical, But honestly, I am not a baby in this game. Sex,  You know you want me to stay in shape, That's why we play when my eyes are closed, So you set the tone, And I use it whenever I want to meet you. You actually didn't tell me,...

  📸 Disclaimer: I don't own the Rights of this Photo . (My Liberation Poems) Shoot Me in the head, If I die, I die. Shoot me in the head, For Speaking Out the truth, The truth that stings you. Shoot Me in the head, If I die, I die. Shoot me in the head If you embrace corruption, A vice that stings me. Shoot Me in the head, If I die, I die. Shoot me in the head Because tomorrow- I will still walk on those streets. Shoot Me in the head, If I die, I die. Shoot me in the head Because, if walking against corruption Is a crime, then I will walk again. Shoot Me in the head, If I die, I die. Shoot me in the head, For Speaking against stolen Iron sheets And a corrupt economy. Shoot Me in the head, For studying with my grandfather  In the same Walls That now look Blood thirsty, For age has drained them. Shoot Me in the head  For Speaking out on what stings Him and him and them, and her. Her who doesn't look like her Who is married to a commander in chair. Shoot me in the head, If ...

My 12th Love Poem

📸 Shot By GMP . 💁🏾‍♂️ Model: Hana . (My Love Diaries). Looking at her, I found solace  Her dazzling eyes Have the odor of Beauty. My eyes glued to her wasp like waste, Made me lose my breath, For I picked Oxygen  From  her sweat. She said, I think you love me, I said, no just know that I love you. She smiled with dissatisfaction. She said, I can not live without you, Only if you tell me that you love me. I grasped my breath and told her How the beatings of my heart make me sleepless. She almost cried, Then I kissed her  The taste of her lips was a calling. For we froze in Poetry. © George William Ochago. @George The Tired Poet. 12th Sept, 2024. 00:15 (Prompt Poetry).
