A Poet's Apology!

(Ode to Love)
Excerpt from ACOM book Series
The last time I had your voice -
It was over the call and you didn't sound right.
The tone of your voice was like we had a fight.
That wasn't right.

Here I am, apologizing -
For all my flaws, and I hope
This will right my wrong 
And maybe, we may hug again.

Maybe we can write our names on the streets of love,
Or maybe on the Sky and the angels may dance -
To the tune of our love and giving praise to what we will become,
Like Michelle and Obama.

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,...

May God Uphold Thee

📸 Source Is X. ( For My Liberation Poems) Oh Uganda! may God uphold thee, We lay our future in thy hand! What if there was a mistake? What if all this was a lie? A lie our fore fathers sung to us. United, free, for liberty, What if there was a hole in the hole they call Parliament? What if there is a Mole in the group we call legislators? What if the Judiciary is now just a name? What if they rule us all by the Iron Fist. Together we'll always stand. The Panthers preached, Day after day, after day. Our brothers bleed and disappear  From Potholed streets. Mothers wail, Brothers mourn, Fathers fall, Children weep, For the disappeared and the 'system' doesn't care. Oh Uganda! The land of freedom. Where we are not allowed to ask for the disappeared in public. Where we are charged for treason  Because we walk for our rights, And this doesn't bother the 'system'. Our love and Labor we give. Paying taxes for the debt we don't benefit, For Stolen Iron sheets, F...

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).
