My 20 Lines For My Broken Heart
Godspower Oshodin
The windows of my heart is shut and disdained,
My memories in reminisce of how it was pained.
The open shutter of love, is now closed
Moments like before will never be tossed.
Love has spanked my heart to pain,
As I write this poem with no poetic gain.
My hand can no longer touch your beautiful face,
The one I love have given me a long space.
My hands fidget, as I exhaust this cubic pen,
That your love for me is no longer ten over ten.
My eyes can’t stop cascading tear, cascade
For wooing the next girl, is my lyrical fear.
I have stopped sleeping, because I don’t want to dream of you,
Yet, staring at this blue sky, all I see is you.
My dreams of fathering your children is dead
My purple hibiscus has turned red.
Steep is the road I now passes thru
And yet, getting back to your heart is my only clue.
My journey with love has been cut shot,
Now, all my feelings for a girl, has a “but”.
