Spreads
his hands in the open with his eyes closed
Glides
and then wobbles like a three-legged animal
A
caricature he describes as a gesture of attention
She
on the other hand researches all her targets
She
hates to sleep with one side of her bed empty
She
picks and strikes where her trade is unknown
A
feat she describes as a mirror of self-persuasion
Although
the desperation in his eyes is barely fragile
His
fruitless mission is to own and build them a home
An
offer that has been denied a thousand times over
By
the same hoochies he meets every now and then
She
gives solace to quench the thirst of hungry loins
The
very thing she sacredly vowed to keep from lions
Has
created an identity conundrum that is acceptable
In
her eyes but uncanny to her cronies and outsiders
He's
still at large with his eyes on the empty trophies
Begging
his incompatible angels for an ocean of time
To
reshuffle the same cards that are currently in use
As
his days of hunt-and-devour are over and done with
Now
that she's taken her battle where she can see it
She
gossips those who once sought refuge in her nest
A
premeditated tirade to discredit everyone of them
When
the secret of her conquests finally comes out
Dedicated To Everyone
We All Have A Beauty That Is Still Blurry To Many
Eduvie is one of the few young writers who knows what he’s writing and he has his own style of writing. Well done boss, you’re indeed The Emperor
ReplyDeleteWell laid out and I don’t what’s in your mind when you’re writing but you sure know how to write and get the message to everyone. I am so proud of you knowing that we’re friends and my children will read your poems.
ReplyDeleteHow can you not love Eduvie, he’s the only poet who makes you feel guilty for his reading his poems LOL and he’s very good at it. Thank you my chairman for sharing your intellect and creativity with me, more grace for more poems.
ReplyDeleteIt’s so good to see another master piece from the emperor, your use of metaphor and euphemism is superb. please allow me to give a spoiler alert. this piece is not about certain individuals, you need to understand metaphor to understand the message. Eduvie is good, period!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ogaga for saying that. I was just discussing this poem with my colleagues here and they were like…this guy is a genius. Just look at how he used euphemism in a way that makes you think he’s talking about you. My sweet Eduvie, I’ve never doubted your writing skills. Good job and I pray for you for more wisdom.
ReplyDeleteEduvie is a good writer but let’s focus on the message and I believe he’s done his part by making a poem out of it. Eduvie Eduvie, i remember the first time we heard those words from you (distance beauty) and we didn’t understand you then but it’s clear now. Brotherly, I envy your talent. Don’t let us down, keep doing your thing.
ReplyDeleteNice from afar but far from nice. Nice one Eduvie. you’re a genius. Pls permission to repost on my wall.
ReplyDeleteTruth is bitter especially now that most people fake their love, true identity and how they look. hahahahaha Eduvie is always spot on in his poems and he knows how to press your red buttons. lmao well said Eduvie!
ReplyDeletelet me quickly say this b4 anyone else. if ur ways are not pure, dont bother reading Eduvie's poems. u'll feel guilty and angry after reading and dat's bcos he's a talented writer who knows how to use figure of speech to connect u to his work. he's good!
ReplyDeleteyou cant argue wit the truth when its staring at ur face. great piece eduvie, yu re special.
ReplyDeleteTo my mind i think it takes a true writer to write something that makes you feel connected and guilty at the same time. Eduvie is doing it as a writer. good poem Eduvie))
ReplyDeleteEduvie my man! ur list of haters is gonna grow and multiply bcoz of dis poem but we're wit u my broda, no shaking. i say dem no reach. u r always wonderful wit ur pen n i am very proud of u. d lord is wit u my broda. one love bro!
ReplyDeletejust in time, bravo eduvie. everybody is guilty of dis one after all we hav tinz we dont want anyone to see or know abt buh odas can see d bads tinz in us. deep and sensible poem.
ReplyDeletea gud writer writes 4 evri 1 and dat's wat Eduvie does as a poet. just go n read d oda poems n u see dat he's very gud and gifted. make amends in ur life if d poem hurts ur feelings. gud job my professor.
ReplyDeleteof course ppl dont want to hear or see the truth cos it makes them feel guilty and lost, no matter what you think about this poem personally if you cant prove it wrong then your anger is misplaced, eduvie been speaking a lot of facts and truth since ages.
ReplyDeleteMaster Eduvie! This is a nice write up. Am always looking forward to when am gonna read a new poem. Keep it up dear! #Monaco
