A Wife's Desire.

A Wife's Desire
By Marybeth Rausch.

I want to be your motivation, inspiration, and everything in between.
I want to be the reason for your smile, the one who turns your frown upside down.
I want to be the one you look up to and admire and the one you desire.
The voice in your heart, not your ear, telling you everything that you need, not want to hear.
I want to mean enough to you to be your solution to all life's ups and downs.
I want you to need me every morning when you wake up, during the day when you have had enough.
I want to feel your excitement to kiss me good night after your day has been so rough.
I need and want all these things from you because you're the only one who gets me through.
I love you more and more each day, it's true.
You have blessed me with a beautiful life, made together by both of us.
I need all these things from you because my most treasured title is your wife.

Lies of the heart.

Lies

of the heart.
By Otega Uchechi

I cried and drenched in my tears,
You left and hit the road like you never cares,
I know, you said you loved me,
But it's a lie written down in your heart.

I sit and reminisce about you,
When you said forever it will always be me,
I Long for those days,I knew there'll never be,
But at the end,it was just you not we.

Yes,my world has fallen apart,
Yes,I know, that will never touch your heart,
But know, this pain will always be with me,
Now,I have Nothing to say,but goodbye.

Perfect.

Perfect
By Shianne.

My heart flows through this icy land,
Come and take my lonely hand,
Show me how to make things right,
Cry these tears no more tonight.

Sing this sorrowful song into the air,
Try to live without a care,
Look up at the stars in the sky,
Dry those tears from your eye.

Lift your head, bring your smiles back,
Paint your world with color instead of black,
Undo your lies, make them true,
Don't let your anger take over you.

Open your eyes, what do you see?
There's so many things that you could be,
If instead of thinking, you actually tried,
And forgot about the tears you cried.

You could be living in a world of hope,
And letting go, learning how to cope,
With everything life throws your way,
And living your fullest every day.

You can force the shadows back to the dark,
Leave without a single scratch or mark,
You can learn to live without your pain,
Without putting yourself through this strain.

You can learn all this if you only realize,
It only matters what perfect is in your eyes.

Nobody Knows

Nobody Knows
By Azumi  Zaima.

Nobody knows it's empty,
The smile that I wear.
The real one is left behind in the past
Because I left you there...

Nobody knows I am crying.
They won't even see my tears.
When they think I am laughing,
I wish you were here...

Nobody knows it's painful.
They think that I am strong.
They say it won't kill me,
But I wonder if they are wrong...

Nobody knows I miss you.
They think I am all set free,
But I feel like I am bound with chains,
Trapped in the mystery...

Nobody knows I need you.
They think I can do it on my own,
But they don't know I am crying
When I am all alone...

Beauty

"Don't look in the mirror too long
Don't call yourself strong
Let others do it for you
Then you'll know its true"

Mind the way you keep your head
She was told to mind the way herself she held
To live her life with honesty
And to be the epitome of modesty

Quiet and brooding she sat
Eyes left and right did not dart
Wise eyes judged her soulful
Cruel eyes dubbed her prideful

If only they knew her fear
Of becoming what they thought of her
They said; "never let beauty go to your head
Because in the end it'll be waste instead"

A Stolen Jewel

So treasured that it kept many alive,

without it we all are as good as dust, but mine got stolen.

In the darkest times when it was supposed to listen to my calls, it turned deaf ears,

changed its colour like the chameleon that it could no longer be recognized. 

Did i lend it to someone or was it stolen from me?

It whispered to worries "take my place". So tired i would be and yet it was never forthcoming. Instead, my mind was filled with worries? Why was i worried?

Was it because i had gained much and lost much?Was it because of my opportune strengths and threatening weaknesses? Was it because i was never satisfied with who i am and always wanted to be better?

Wait a minute was it because of those pictures and clips my eyes jammed on the streets, the able bodied begging for support that always turned out meagre, pupils sleeping as their fathers walked them home(i could see the stress in those closed eyes), old men working in the military and para military having to drop those heads on woods and bare floors, when dusk resumed its duty and older men would greet younger ones "MORNING SIR" with their two hands stretched forward almost like a prostrate?

I almost forgot, was i worried because i was dumbfounded? could it be because i no longer knew my feeling or cause I wasn't scared to die but scared to leave.

I no longer had an option,

but to watch momma pound those boiled yams when my hands weren't far away? I guess that's why i was worried........Could it be because young hustlers were mocked as they ran along to catch up with buses and cars in order to make sales like flies gallivanting on tailless cows while those with illegitimate means were praised and envied? Could it be because there were more men than women in the market squares? Must it be so?

Have you found my jewel? Did it leave me because the disks got slit, sinuses blocked, cold receptors ordered the hot ones to go on their kneels to bow before them?oh oh maybe its because i had forgotten how the name ascribed to me for identity was spelt?

I seemingly found it in view for only 3,000 seconds and caressed it,........................  I will give anything to hold u close

Then suddenly............. 

Then the thief came,we wrestled only to live me face down with my lips to kiss the dust.

My jewel have been found ... where?

Only but hidden some six feet close to the ground that it seemed it had fallen in love with someone else.....

Oh My Lost Jewel

I want to grow old with you.

I want to grow old with you
By John Chizoba Vincent.

Dreams will come and go,
But i remain right beside you,
I will be around you forever.
Let the world stop turning,
Let the air stop its journey to the west,
And let the sun stop burning,
Let them tell me if love is not,
Worth going through in this side of the world.

The dreams that mattered so much to me,
In this world is i was loved by you,
If the world fall apart on you,
I will be there for you,
Never gone never far,
In my heart is where you are,
Always close every day every seconds,
I know how much you means to me,
But it hurt so much when you are not there with me.

Each time we spend together,
Make our love grow stronger,
I will love you till the end,
I will be your true friend, your hero,
To show you how much you mean to me.

I want to grow old with you,
Die in your arms,
I want to look into your eyes,
Climb the mountains with you,
Sharing in every thing you do,
Your emotions, feelings and tears,
Caress your hair and body,
Hold walking stick with you, the wrinkle,
We share together.

In pains and love,
I want to grow old with you,
Walk through the patient roads,
In the shadows of death and tribulations.
Mounted in between striving spirit and hopes,
Our body lied together when the inevitable comes,
I wanna grow old with you,
For better for worse,

In the other phase of life after death.

Demons And Darkness

Demons Of Darkness
By Olivia C

She stood on the bridge,
In silence and fear,
For the demons of darkness,
Had driven her here.

They cut her heart,
Right out of her chest,
Making her believe,
That the demons knew best.

They were always there,
Sometimes just out of sight,
Waiting in the background,
Till the time was right.

These demons were destructive,
Knocking down the life she knew,
Hating everything about her,
She hated herself too.

These demons can't be seen,
But they're far from fairy tales,
They live inside your mind,
Their evilness prevails.

So on the bridge she stood,
About to end the fight,
Then she stopped and thought,
I'll fight them one more night.

Admirable Woman

There is a woman who always keeps her head up high.
Her eyes sparkle like a bright star in the sky.

She has the stamina, beauty, and courage that one would admire,
Even the love and happiness she inspires.

She is a woman that one can always count on,
And a woman that sees no wrong.
Her beauty shines from the inside out,

It flows like a journey down a long route.
Her smile shines beautifully like the sun rising over the horizon

And her intelligence, wisdom, and hard work are not surprising.
She is a genuinely caring woman
Who goes the extra mile to help one in need or heart broken

And throughout all of her hard work,
No one ever sees her fall apart

There remain lot of women under the sun
Bt you my dear ones are amazing and the admirable one

Forever And Always

Forever And Always
By Mercedes

You are the sun that shines brightly throughout my day.
You are the gravity that holds me down in every way.
You are the moon that shimmers throughout my night.
You are stars that glimmer oh so bright.

You are the oxygen that keeps me alive.
You are my heart that beats inside.
 You are the blood that flows through me. You are the only guy I can see.
You have the voice of when a mockingbird sings.

You are my everything.
You are my one and only.
You stop me from being so lonely.
We plan our future as if we have a clue.
 I never want to lose you.
I want you to be my husband, and I want to be your wife.
I want to be with you for the rest of my life.

It Is Over

IT IS OVER
By Pelican

The nights are getting colder,
Am like a wounded soldier,
It feels so strange,
Why did you change?

Oh! when you told me those 3 words,
It pierced my heart like a sword,
"It is over" she said,
Physically am alive but deep down am dead.

Before now, words never bothered me,
But those 3 words of yours murdered me,
Tears rolled down uncontrollably as i lay on my bed,
I gave you the green light but you gave the red.

I feel like an angel broke my heart,
We used to be close, now we are worlds apart,
I thought we would live together, happily ever after,

Now am living alone, sadly ever after.

Amazing Grace

Back in those days when i started up as an embryo
Who knew i'll grow to be big and be where I am so
Meet lot of great friends and have a wonderful family
Enjoy pretty and pleasant memories and live happily
You made me from dust, though nothing yet you cared for me
For that I'm always grateful and will forever be
Lord I do thank you unceasingly for the gift of life
For everything And my soon to be lovely wife
I could never have made it this far and occupy this space
If not for your ever loving protection and amazing grace
I've made a lot of mistakes yet you didn't hang me on a stake
Your favour your forgiveness is something I can always take
I promise to imitate you and be kind to all
To love and cherish them no matter short and tall
Lord I thank you for the gift of your precious son
Who came down and united us with you as one
His life he freely gave so that we may live
For that I'm forever indebted and in him I'll always believe
Words can't seem to express the feelings of gratitude i have for you
I can only try, bt I'm glad knowing that you appreciate my efforts too
Amazing grace, Lord I thank you for your amazing grace
And I pray you give me the strength and favor to win life's race
