BEHIND THE CAMERA

 

 BEHIND THE CAMERA 

Behind the camera 

Are untold stories 

Behind the wild smiles 

Are dried tears

Behind the glam 

Is a shattered soul


Life has taken destiny into his hands 

 It teaches the fierce 

And couches the populace 

You can’t be sure

But life will put you on check


Drowned in  pool of tears 

Captivated by thoughts of uncertainties 

You have a way to show a teeth

Not because you have figured it all out

But because the camera is set on you


In a day of gloom and glitch 

The camera swallows the pain

For a while in a moment 

You bury agony and feel delighted 


Life isn’t balanced but 

The camera makes a difference 

It hides sorrows and swallows shame 

Behind the camera are lots of stories untold 

Yet graceful moments shared


The camera doesn’t portray fake lifestyle 

It adds beauty to what seem shady and rough 

There’s an absolute beauty behind the camera 

It makes life beautiful and worthwhile 

It brings light to the dark and strength to the weak


It leaves you with loads of memories 

That put smiles on your face when flipped 

Not too bad as it seem

The camera showed up to perfect imperfections

    I felt it when I read through and that's exactly what a poet should achieve. More grease to your elbow.

    When the camera is been set on you, you throw back your worries and focus to put up a smile. After which when you sit back to watch it gives you a reason to keep smiling and aiming higher.

TO TOUCH AND TO HOLD

Image
To Touch and To Hold   Life is a battle as growth is a battlefield. Growing up as a teenager was as hard as a life of an adult who wishes and aim to settle well in life. I had a crush back in junior high school whom my friends tease me with. Maybe I liked him, maybe I didn't. But I think I admired him as he was handsome.  Some part of me wished he was my boyfriend whereas my other part reminded me of my ego and how I needed to maintain or probably raise it high. I needed to walk with confidence and having that guy as my boyfriend meant lowering my standard, hence, affecting my self respect. The light of my emotions were green but that of my  ego was red. I loved my ego, so I chose the latter.  It was getting to that time of the month and as usual, there was a rise in my libido. I needed a boy. To touch and to hold. What in particular? Yes! Exactly what you're thinking. My sexual edge and drive was on. Like a keeper in a goal post, waiting with all diligence to catch ...

IN A GOWN TO PROVE A POINT

  IN A GOWN; TO PROVE A POINT The moon was bright, the stars were numerous They were a lot, yet I chose to count  It was a night of pain with memories As I started counting the stars I realized they kept increasing Soon, I lost count. Gosh! That's how much I loved him It was a stare of love, as I could not take my eyes off Over two minutes stare, all I saw was love Joined by lips, held by the waist It was a green light for emotion at work Not before I could resume to the world of man It was a night of unforgettable experience Memories indeed ignite awesome past I'm now a shadow of myself What seemed to be uncountable stars at night Ended up to be a moment of excitement It wasn't meant to stay all forever But I guess I was clouded by emotions All expected happy ever after Because they saw a perfect picture All through abuses, infidelity and brokeness  I still chose the gown; To prove a point All needed to be satisfied and I chose them over ME MaakaaWrites🌹
