                          Yes, the wound made by words hurts the same as the physical wound,

                                          Friends have convenient words for you

                                            and they are ready to listen to you

                    their hearts are always open for you, but where are they when they’re needed most?

                                                            HER

                                                    THE RED LETTER

                                      I am your friend and be delighted by that fact,

                                                      I forgive you for

                                     Making ahole in the fence (heart), bitter residue

                                                   Of anger is all of that

                        Experience with the man in the world without God, forgive me, I see you as

                                   A man, I see you naked in front of me in the sunlight,

                                    I’ll stay faithful to the end, follow my shadow in the

                                                           Night.

                                                  Witness with nice name

                                                 Give me your hard hands

                                                 you take mine light ones.

                                                    Darkness is my light

                                                    Rain is my sunshine

                                                  My enemy is my friend

                                                   Curse is my blessing

                                                  The cold is my warmth

                                                    Pain is my pleasure

                                                  The master is my slave

                                                    Life is my deathbed

                                                  Honesty is my deceiver

                                                 My bruises are my kisses

                                                    The joker is a killjoy

                                                   Ballads are my ditties

                                                   Losing is my gaining

                                                  My innocence is my filth

                                                  Religion is my science

                                                   My home is my prison

                                                   Beasts are still friends

                                   Junk is still treasure

                                  Saints are still sinners

                            The world’s fools are God’s sages

                                    Ice burns like fire

                                The ocean is like Heaven

                                  A criminal is a martyr

                                   Great sex is no sex

                                 25 feels like the elderly

                                      That one night
                                     the King arrived
                                not on a bed but on hay…
                            This simple King, this simple King
                             That’s his story, He’s our glory
                            He’s our King, He’s our everything
                             That’s his honor, He’s our Savior
                                And He’s the reason why:
                                  We sign these cards

                                     and carol all day

                                                     You’re a pathogen

                                                          A malady

                                                      A death disease

                                              I must rid myself of you please!

                                                        I have to soar

                                                   To let go of all strings

                                            The complete disasters that are you

                                               I’m sorry but I need some air

                                               I am about to drown in despair

                                                       Your electricity

                                                       Your batteries

                                                         I’m a subject

                                                      I’m a study object

                                                Of your suffocating romance

                                                        Your science

                                                         Your gravity

                                                        Your oxygen

                                                       Your chemistry

                                              I have no use for them you see?

                                         and equality?

                                        Forget about it.

                                       There are no lines

                                      nor escorts to tables

                              where your order is taken cheerfully

                               and you watch others eat their fill.

                                             Instead

                               banquets hidden behind the flurry

                                          of hands are

                                    enclosed in one corner.

                                           In another

                                      lie emaciated bodies

                                that lift their eyes from the floor

                                      every now and then

                                as they wait for their servers to

                                             come.

                                   We’re all starving, really,

                                 because those who have food

                                      will grab all they can

                                             without

                                      a backwards glance.

                                      And those who don’t

                                        will eye the feast

                                          from below,

                                   obvious of the knowledge

                                      that they are not the

                                            only ones

                                        who are hungry.

                                            Burning

                          Burn this once you have finished reading it.

                           Offer this scramble of words to the flames

                                      and watch the blaze

                                             weaken

                                        letter after letter

                                until only lifeless ashes remain.

                                      Ignore the whispers

                                  that surely sear the tendons

                                     nearest to your heart,

                         and smile if the unyielding smoke in your mind

                                      refuses to dissolve.

                                Allow these feelings to smolder

                                                          and glow

                                                        and intensify

                                                     and I promise you

                                                      that these words

                                                           will not

                                           be the only ones facing annihilation.

                                                  Feed this to the flames

                                                 when your lust-filled eyes

                                                 have stopped touching it.

                                            Yearn for the blaze to grow higher

                                            and louder until its roar is sufficient

                                               yet still and calm and steady.

                                               Scream for a brighter flame,

                                                     for thicker smoke,

                                                    for unbearable heat,

                                             and let no drop of tears or sweat

                                               come near your pitiful shrine.

                                               Grind your fingers to and fro

                                           until the blood runs down your hands

                                                     and I promise you

                                           that I will laugh through the barricade

                                           and that the wall of water between us

                                              will make Hell itself seem cold.

                                                     Burn these words.

                                      Burn them in the creation you take no credit for

                                             until their letters peal and rupture

                                                   through rotting wood.

                                               Leap further into the fire until

                                          your silhouette is lost within the smoke

                                                     and I promise you

                                                     I promise you now

                                               that the scars will strengthen

                                            a force you have wanted to ignore,

                                             and you will sink further than I did

                                                when you seized my hand

                                                 and dragged me through

                                                      to the other side.

      “I wrote these Poems on an old typewriter, which I inherited from a late American writer. This wise, good man
     used to read poems to me when I was a kid, saying that I too will read my poems to other people, but first I shall
                                             roam the world searching for myself.
    I admit I no longer have the will or power to roam around, but I haven’t lost the will to write poetry. All I want is to
                       share my pan, suffering, loneliness, love and desires with the whole world.’’

                                                      From the Heart of Poet

                                                         LONELY NIGHTS

                                               Against the old oak I cling my cheek
                                                   to hear a lost voice inside;
                                                     The voice of a lost friend,
                                              the voice of my lost father and mother,
                                                       the voice of lost love.
                                                 And in this lonely night the voices
                                            inside the old oak are quiet and inaudible,
                                                  as if dying along with my spirit.
                                    The night has turned its beautiful lonely face to the sky,
                                                               and I,
                                            I call out my own name in this lonely night.
                                             which became perfectly strange to me –
                                                     with some desperate hope
                                           that I shall hear the echo of my own spirit.
                                     Wise people say that each spirit is made of memories,
                                                    and my memories are dead;
                                          dead like those lost voices inside the old oak,
                                                    which, like vampire claws,
                                      raises its old, barren branches towards a black crow,
                                   to steel its voice and to call out into this silent, lonely night,
                                                like the voice of many friends of men,
                                      that someone’s tear sometime dies before it’s born.
                                                   Inside me, there is still hope
                                                that someone shall hear my name,
                                                and that it won’t sound as strange
                                                       as it does to me.
                                             Slowly and ghastly I tread the shadows
                                               like a sinner treads the skulls in hell,
                                                  and I call out with a solitary cry
                                                    into this lonely night,
                                      to chase away death, if I can’t chase away solitude.
                                               But what is life worth without voices,
                                                     not the ones you can buy,
                                                     but voices of conscience,
                                   which are born and eternally live along with human souls.

                                               Against the old oak I cling my cheek,
                                                and I listen in to a thousand souls,
                                                            Now I know,
                                 yes, Lord, now I know that someone will call my name as well,
                                           because when you hear the voices of souls
                                                  of dear people you’ve lost,
                                                        you have the power
                                         to bear memories of yourself in someone else.

                                         In the shadow of solitude now I see Your eyes,
                                               that so faithfully carry about the light
                                                   through my thoughts so dark,
                                               and the pen trembles in the hand,
                                        waiting for the prodigal son’s acknowledgement.
                               My one and only, acknowledgements arrive in solitude’s embrace,
                                     just like tears, and where there is a tear, there is love,
                                       always faithful and unbribable, invisible but so real                                          Follow

                                               that you can touch it with thoughts
                                       and with the fiery breath in the infinity of solitude.
                                      I admit to using my verses as ransom for my guilt,
                                                    (and guilt is my silence),
                                                     and I listen to the rumor
                                                   that perpetually, like a bat,
                                             whirls across the lonely poet’s street.
                                                   They say that me and You,
                                                       my one and only,
                                            are fantasy, but a pen immersed in ink.
                                                    But You know, don’t You,
                                       that me and You are perfectly real, full of wishes,
                                                   dreams and memories.
                                  My one and only, I am listening to the whisper of the wind
                                             in this warm, dreamy summer night…
                                             It is silent, horribly silent without You,
                                and the wind’s whisper is dying down, farther away, oh so far,
                                          as if called by death to its black hearse,
                              and I have waited for so many days, months and years to appear,
                                                   to bring Your voice to me,
                                                gentle, soft, warm and yearning,
                                               but it is so silent, oh so silent now,
                                             that I can hear the screams of solitude
                                                      chase away memories
                                                  into this warm summer night,
                              my one and only, I am standing in the shadow of the dignified oak,
                                          and I am looking into his empty sleepiness,
                                            as if its playfulness left along with You,
                                                      it is silent like the wind.
                                        Its dear, green, eternally waking young leaves,
                             who used to whisper in Your vicinity, untrammeled and confidential,
                                        are completely silent now, completely dead.
                                         Now I am trembling in the shadow of our oak,
                            fearfully looking at it as it drags its dignified old face along the ground,
                                               its memories are as lively as mine.
                                                Once, yes, once the memories,
                                                      who live so inaudibly,
                                                     shall become so weak,
                                                        so humanly weak,
                                               that they shall find their dark home
                                                  next to our wooden crosses.

                                          With your heart racing at the speed of light,

                                                  Take comfort in knowing that

                                          My heartbeat still sings a love song for you.

                                             As you walk tall behind those shields,

                                          Somewhat scared of the unfriendly streets,

                                                Take courage, and know that I’m

                                       Waiting for you to watch me walk down that aisle.

                                              As you lay there in streams of blood,

                                             Don’t drown in your flood of thoughts.

                                             Just picture me in that gift you bought,
                                                                                                                             Follow

                                     Running your bath water, for when you return.

                                         As you lay here in my warm embrace,

                                                So close, yet so far away,

                                           I’ll be patient ‘cos I know someday,

                                         You’ll open up to me, and speak again.

                                          I know your heart is in so much pain.

                                      You see their faces; your friends, the slained.

                                       I know that things may never be the same;

                                           With time, I pray your sorrow fades.

                                           But until then, know that I am here

                                             With my heart wide open, and

                                             However long you took to heal,

                                               By your side, always, I’ll be.

Grind your fingers to and fro until the blood runs down your hands and I promise you that I will laugh through the barricade and that the wall of water between us will make Hell itself seem cold. Burn these words. Burn them in the creation you take no credit for until their letters peal and rupture through rotting wood.

This wise, good man used to read poems to me when I was a kid, saying that I too will read my poems to other people, but first I shall roam the world searching for myself. I admit I no longer have the will or power to roam around, but I haven’t lost the will to write poetry. All I want is to share my pan, suffering, loneliness, love and desires with the whole world.’’ From the Heart of Poet LONELY NIGHTS Against the old oak I cling my cheek to hear a lost voice inside; The voice of a lost friend, the voice of my lost father and mother, the voice of lost love. And in this lonely night the voices inside the old oak are quiet and inaudible, as if dying along with my spirit. The night has turned its beautiful lonely face to the sky, and I, I call out my own name in this lonely night. which became perfectly strange to me – with some desperate hope that I shall hear the echo of my own spirit. Wise people say that each spirit is made of memories, and my memories are dead; dead like those lost voices inside the old oak, which, like vampire claws, raises its old, barren branches towards a black crow, to steel its voice and to call out into this silent, lonely night, like the voice of many friends of men, that someone’s tear sometime dies before it’s born. Inside me, there is still hope that someone shall hear my name, and that it won’t sound as strange as it does to me. Slowly and ghastly I tread the shadows like a sinner treads the skulls in hell, and I call out with a solitary cry into this lonely night, to chase away death, if I can’t chase away solitude. But what is life worth without voices, not the ones you can buy, but voices of conscience, which are born and eternally live along with human souls. Against the old oak I cling my cheek, and I listen in to a thousand souls, Now I know, yes, Lord, now I know that someone will call my name as well, because when you hear the voices of souls of dear people you’ve lost, you have the power to bear memories of yourself in someone else. ©Walter William Safar OLD OAK In the shadow of solitude now I see Your eyes, that so faithfully carry about the light through my thoughts so dark, and the pen trembles in the hand, waiting for the prodigal son’s acknowledgement. My one and only, acknowledgements arrive in solitude’s embrace, just like tears, and where there is a tear, there is love, always faithful and unbribable, invisible but so real Follow http://itsgoldenmag.org/poetry-2/ 12/20/2011

I admit to using my verses as ransom for my guilt, (and guilt is my silence), and I listen to the rumor that perpetually, like a bat, whirls across the lonely poet’s street. They say that me and You, my one and only, are fantasy, but a pen immersed in ink. But You know, don’t You, that me and You are perfectly real, full of wishes, dreams and memories. My one and only, I am listening to the whisper of the wind in this warm, dreamy summer night… It is silent, horribly silent without You, and the wind’s whisper is dying down, farther away, oh so far, as if called by death to its black hearse, and I have waited for so many days, months and years to appear, to bring Your voice to me, gentle, soft, warm and yearning, but it is so silent, oh so silent now, that I can hear the screams of solitude chase away memories into this warm summer night, my one and only, I am standing in the shadow of the dignified oak, and I am looking into his empty sleepiness, as if its playfulness left along with You, it is silent like the wind. Its dear, green, eternally waking young leaves, who used to whisper in Your vicinity, untrammeled and confidential, are completely silent now, completely dead. Now I am trembling in the shadow of our oak, fearfully looking at it as it drags its dignified old face along the ground, its memories are as lively as mine. Once, yes, once the memories, who live so inaudibly, shall become so weak, so humanly weak, that they shall find their dark home next to our wooden crosses. © Walter William Safar ___________________________________________________________ Boboye mary Mozimo Boboye mary Mozimo is a Nigerian International student, with a passion for creative writing.
