Thanks

Wow, i can't believe its the last day of  NaPoWriMo 'Day 30', it was really a wonderful experience.

Thanks for having me.

I DO

NaPoWriMo Day 30



i love what you do to me
i love what you give to me
i love that it took all these years to find me

do you know what your love does to me not only physically but mentally
do you know how this uplifts me spiritually

i can't count the men that desire me
but you're the chosen one for me

Mom even knows how bonded we are
Dad never bothers because he knows in the hands of safety we are

But this is not strange to us, for our love
is so glaring for emulation

For now all i can say is i hope we walk arm-in-arm someday
saying 'I do'

LET ME...

 

NaPoWriMo Day 29

let me...

welcome you to my world

a world of peace

and pure love 

my simple ideologies of life,

interests, goals 

and visions

are out of this world

a great deal of fun 

is all you need

eye the wonders of nature

welcome inner bliss and set your soul free

let me melt your heart

come into my world

and let love, peace and harmony  reign

world without end

CHERISHED PINK

 

NaPoWriMo Day 28

you represent compassion

you nurture me with pure love

your intuitive and insightful nature

show me tenderness and kindness

mentally i am clothed with hope

around your positivity

 and warmness

my soul is comforted

i see you everywhere

and so my nerves are calmed

my physical weakness created 

tender loving care (TLC) is what we both share

though you make me look naive and girlish

i don't mind

your sweetness and goodwill 

is all i cherish

I CALL YOU GRACE

NaPoWriMo Day 27



In humility you stand
pleasing and completely attractive
your elegance truly outstand
great quality shown to all; your presence irrespective

you walk in clear motion
your beauty and manners
reflects in your action
and embraces all in various corners

your favour
all in your time and your presence
an unmerited honour
in great quintessence

with you some say 'love is blind'
without you others snap in an ugly case
i bless you for you don't reprimand
forever, i call you grace

I DREAM

NaPoWriMo 26

With awesome succession for ages
your imaginations, thoughts and emotions: seem'd
to pass through my mind in several pages
truly, this can not be deem'd

i visualize you all the time, future's sake
you push me to great efforts for myself and mate
i resolve never to make
life too dull and unproductive in any awkward state

even though your beauty and excellence
seems to be inview
i applaud your powerful existence
your greatness cannot be in review

life is what you make it
i have vowed to rule it:
never will i break it
all in my arms- like a comfort chair, i curule it

LOVE

NaPoWriMo Day 25


This profound tender, passionate affection i feel inside
This earnest desire to care and treat you right;
This insurmountable zeal to make you smile
... It should be, it must be love.

This benevolent affection towards your well- being
This strong marked enthusiasm;
This feeling of warm personal attachment for you
... Surely, it has to be love.

This affectionate concern i have for you
This deep emotion i can't deny-
This liking of everything that comes from you
... Obviously, this should be love.

This day by day yearning to see your face
This joy you bring me when you say my name;
This forever yours i'll surely be
... Certainly, till eternity, this is love.

MY JOY...

NaPoWriMo Day 24


My joy
comes from within
no matter how bad the world may seem
i always have this emotion of great delight

my joy
knows no bounds
although i've seen the bad and good sides of life
i choose to be happy; truly nothing can dim the light which shines from within

my joy
overcomes every sadness
because i feel keen pleasure inside of me
i turn situations around for my pleasure

my joy
is my life
for i know expression is the reflection of life
i'll forever hold on to it because it is who i am

PEACE

NaPoWriMo Day 23

State of harmony and joy is worth it
Its because of you it dwells within me
My conscience opens to truth - your word- emforth it
State of harmony and joy is worth it
Inner peace is serene, its self-worth it
Prosperity, good fortune and bliss surrounds me
State of harmony and joy is worth it
Its because of you it dwells within me

MOTHER NATURE

NaPoWriMo Day 22

O nature! you are indeed ascendant
I can't help but wonder:
How you make things revolve around you- your dominant
It makes me ponder

The universe, with all its phenomena
Bow to your feet
When everything seems to be well planned out, like contrast nounema
Reality set in, and we settle with a good beet

In the material world though not so great
Exists independently of human activities without a space:
You stand in moral state
Unaffected by grace

In you lay the answers
To tomorrows dreams
For my part i say nothing- but for your natural powers
... i trust your judgment, i enjoy your constant gleams

BEAUTY FORTUNE

NaPoWriMo Day 21

Beauty is thy name, pleasing and beautiful for all to see

Just as grace comes with adoring charm, so do you

You'll be allowed access to some great places

Just know some people won't let you be

Jealousy dislikes the world to know it, yet it shows

You know there's nothing stronger in the world than gentleness

What ever you do, try to do with feelings

Beauty they say is in the eye of the beholder

Just make sure you don't eat that cake

Be faithful and not fearful

Round and round the world goes

Your so sweet, so nice and pure

Confusion will set in, it should be expected

Your such a fortune to behold

Maybe you should see a movie

Your intelligence awakens the spirit

Life is a win-lose game

Is there something you want to say?

Rome was not built in a day

Go ahead and shine

Heard you can sing and dance

You should visit the museum

Its so glaring you don't associate

You love Ice- cream, everyone knows

Your approach is always soft- its so overwhelming

Just top up your charisma, if you can... if you can...  

THE GOD ALMIGHTY

NaPoWriMo Day 20

Its highly improbable

how things occur perfectly

 in your time

... its divine, so miraculous

life with you is like the generator

you give me signals when i fault

kickstart my engine; my thoughts to positivity

and help electrify my world

even when my faith abscond without a trace

and i lose and lose

till i have nothing left to squander

you present me with a second chance

life is so tasteless without you

indeed, you add salt to my being

you are a paragon

non-pareil to both the living and dead 

FOR REAL?

Day 19

Silly, indecisive rosebug seeks logically myopic, spontaneous old hand with mischievous sence of humour to electrify the entire world. 

DIAMOND

NaPoWriMo Day 18

Diamond

You are pure
Transparent,
Flawless,
And real.

You shine bright like no other,
Extremely magnificient;
Well valued
And respected.

You bring energy
Hope,
Happiness
Along with you.

You are a natural beauty,
A precious gem
Rich, strong in nature
Indeed, you ...


                                                          

LOVE IS YOU

NaPoWriMo Day 17

Love is you


Loving you is like leaking my favourite flavour; vanilla ice-cream
It keeps me hopeful and make me love life,
The taste is like a dream
It cuts deep into the skin like a knife.

The sight of you kickstarts my greatest emotion; Joy
Surely, a glance at you makes me high,
I feel like screaming out Scots Gaelic word; Roy
This i feel whenever i see you, and when i don't, i  sigh.

Listening to Kenny G's ''Endless love'' song reminds me of you
Your eyes tell me how much you care,
The only thing right in my life is you                                                     
... I'll always be there.

The warmth of your touch relaxes my nerve,
You are so true- i believe in you;
Your tender care i'll always have
Life is love and love is you.

MI AMOR

NaPoWriMo Day 16

Mi amor                                                                   My love
                                                                              
De dia por dia                                             From day by day                                
Noche tras noche,                                      Night by night,
De tarde en tarde                                      Time to time
En el vuelo magro de la vida diaria;         In the meager flight of day life;
En mis momentos felices                          In my happy moments 
En mis oraciones                                       In my prayers
Angels, y la santa trinidad                       Angels, and the holy trinity
Despierta mi deseo,                                 Awake my desire,
Estar contigo                                            To be with you
Y humildemente, humildemente-             And humbly, humbly-
La amigo,                                                 My friend,
Amor                                                        Love
Irradia en tus ojos;                                  Radiates in your eyes;
Su visible, tan claro                                 It's visible, so clear
Tengo la creencia de alto                        I have a high belief   
Que va a durar,                                       That it'll last,
Y mi deseo de sonar                                And the desire to dream                    
Muelles con usted                                   Springs up with you       
Relojes estan a tiempo,                          Clocks are on time,                                         
No es el suen`o-                                       It is not the dream but-
Somos nosotros,                                       It is us,                                                    
Es el amor.                                                It is love.

ACCURSED

NaPoWriMo Day 15

Accursed

Vivian was the name of Fibian's mistress.
A young girl with ruthless personality.
Dogs bark in distress
And bite for absorbability,
Most times life hunts the hunter with undreamed-of stress
You reap what you sow in actuality
True love never dies, it aids like the buttress
A deceitful heart know pain, its no partiality;
To be under a spell is like being wrapp'd in tress
The untrue knows no responsibility,
A rat caught under trap endures in distress
Surely, will live on in abnormality.

SUPER HERO

NaPoWriMo Day 14

Super hero

Can this be real?
Is this all it takes?
No, i'm dreaming
This really can't be true
Am i that good?
Why do this people believe in me?
How and why am i different from others?
Look at this crowd
Smiling and screaming out my name
Look how they seem to adore me
People now ask for my autograph
Even these people here with me
All because of what? the character? my actions?
I only made believe that role
I truly delivered, it seems
This is my major outing
And i'm already famous
No, this is really divine, a breakthrough
My dream come true
Oops! sorry, didn't know i was loud
Still, i don't mind-
I am overjoyed
And totally humbled by my fame
I Pray it last
Even if it doesn't, i've made impact
...My name has come to stay

A WALK TO REMEMBER

NaPoWriMo Day 13

A walk to remember

T was upon a day, a winter day
between autumn and spring i suppose
i'd just come out to catch
a touch of winter air

it was an old day, as old as Johnson,
the oldest tortoise
the hotness inside the house made me
decide to take a walk down the street

All i truly needed was some fresh air
i made myself a promise to return home
in less than an hour so i don't catch cold
and this i was eager to keep

i'd just reached half way my walk when suddenly came
a dry dust bearing wind that blew almost like a young hurricane
it was a strong weird wind which set things flying
i resolved to return home because if i don't, i could die-if home- i won't

SILENT WORDS

NaPoWriMo Day 12

Silent words


Silent words are my spoken sounds
they function as a principal carrier
of the meanings of the things i say quietly
though not directly to you- deep down it is

silent words mean alot to me
they're the only medium i use to express my feelings
though slow and calm
it is ideal

silent words make me happy yet sad
i can't produce sound of great volume
especially when you step out, your charisma, your style-
its quit overwhelming, i can't shout

oh, your courtesy, your grace, and your charm
you walk with striking carriage
though you don't know this and i may not let it out
so i'll keep it on the low

HERE WE GO

NaPoWriMo Day 11

Here we go

Oops, i'm sorry,
i ate the cookies in the fridge,
i know you were saving them,
for breakfast with a cup of tea,
but i must confess, they were wildly delicious.
need i remind you they're loved?

anytime, anywhere - guard them hard!

SHUT THE DOOR

NaPoWriMo Day 10

SHUT THE DOOR

The world is an open door,
the more you look at it, the more it reveals
deep things that life have in store
which human minds bravely conceals.

life presents you with the good, the bad, and the ugly
i'd advice you learn from them all,
fake love surrounds the whole world it hurts, its so fugly
                                          sometimes they make you feel life yields nothing further to recall.

                                         do not remember days, remember moments,
                                         especially those that take your breathe away
                                         they sure create within uncountable merriments;
                                         put your door to a close on unhappy moments, i'd rather say.

                                        good friends are hard to come by
                                        endeavour to embrace all who make you smile,
                                        and those that your progress make cry
                                        shut it on them and keep your mind agile.
                                        

THE UNTOLD

NaPoWriMo Day 9

THE UNTOLD

 
Your existence baffles my imagination
I can't help but wonder how you run without a visible source of power;
You remain 24 hours right in every nation
Even though your time zone differs across the planet's hour.

Your one of the oldest human invention
Yet the knowlegde of you remains eluding;
How you meet the need to consistently measure intervals of time, in all ages and generation,
Still beats human understanding.

You exist of an object that repeats the same motion over and over again, an oscillator,
Nobly, you create purses which are countered by some kind of counter-
Believed to be converted into convenient units: seconds, minutes, hours and more
And some kind of indicator displays the result in humanly readable form- to make abetter.

Your controversial existence is indeed unknowable
Yet, well co-ordinated;
And valuable
I think you are perhaps, a constructive mystery yet to be visited.

SOUL FOOD

                                                    NaPoWriMo Day 8

                                                   Soul food

You express my ideals and emotions
Surely, nothing compares to your sweet melodious sounds;
Looking to you relaxes my nerves when i express my vehement passions
With you i feel as though i stand on uncommon grounds,
You live in my soul - i feel so alive with your strictly organized compositions-
I'll forever dance in goodliness and grace to your clear tune which greatly abounds;
With all lives wishful expectations starring in your face
I keep you in mind steadily and grow apace.

GUARDIAN ANGEL

NaPoWriMo Day 7

Guardian Angel


Beside you i stand
Always watchful;
Protective against the unforeseen forces of earthly land
And tenderly concerned and helpful.

I am anxious about your welfare,
Your worries are my pain-
                                                Keeping you away from accusing stare
                                                Is my gain.

                                                In silence i come,
                                                Feeling your heart
                                                With awesome
                                                Joy, and hope in each day start.

                                               I am always by your side
                                               Although you don't know this;
                                               In as much as we walk side by side
                                               ...You still might never know this.

I'D RATHER

NaPoWriMo Day 6

I'd rather

I'd rather,
Learn to love;
Than be a hater
Who lives in shattered peace and joy sadly not move.

I'd rather,
Accept challenge;
Than build up animosity and anger
In the fight for revenge.

I'd rather,
Remain true;
To myself and the generation after,
Than follow the part that lay the love deliberately untrue.

I'd rather,
Learn to follow my heart;
And move farther
Away from hurt that could tear me apart.

REAL DEAL

NaPoWriMo Day 5 - Cinquain

Real deal


Happiness fairy
is who i am
magical goodness, creative fantasy world,
peaceful memories is what i leave
with you.

LEGACY

NaPoWriMo Day 4

LEGACY


A gift by will i freely give,
I strive day by day to let it be;
My impact, my life is what i share-
From this generation to the next to see.

Awaken by a new begining that a new day brings,
I try as much as i can to renew and inspire minds;
Exploring, dreaming and creating is my thing-
This impact i know will linger on.

Action is the real measure of intelligence,
I set out everyday to achieve something new, different;
I expect the best, prepare for the worst and capitalize on what comes-
As i watch chance favour my prepared mind.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     chance y                                                                             
I aspire to be a rainbow in someone else's cloud,
I smile, breathe, and smile again;
Then make the most of myself for that is all there is of me-
And never forget to remain true and humble.

30 Days of Poetry with NaPoWriMo

Hello, all. Welcome to the 30 days of Poetry with NaPoWriMo. Its National Poetry month, with the 30 Days, 30 Poems challenge. Lets get it started!!! Bring it on NaPoWriMo.

Day 1's prompt is to write  'a poem that has the same first line as another poem.'
Here's my attempt.

As handsome as a beast.

Slowly, he walks in beauty, like the night,

Imposing appearance suggestive to life and death;
And all that's dark and bright,
Surrounding his awkward world of strength.

The closer the view, the less he appeals,
Exhibiting humanly frame but surely nonhuman;
So calm, so skillful
Yet brutality can not conceal.


An attractive paragon of cruelty,
Firm, strong and weird,
Generous, yet filthy-
Perfect well-being of ill.

A mind at peace perhaps true,
Healthy and sick;
Heart in zest for love-
Love, yet to seek.

Nature's Finest

By Joy Tobechi Ojuka


She is big, she is wide, she is long but not tall.
She is reflective, neutral, humble, beautiful, good but can accommodate evil.
She can be invisible but yet clearly visible. And with her very intrinsic colour, she is tasteless and odourless but unarguably sweet.

Looking at her miscible characteristic nature, I remembered what my mother told me about her birth: "she is produced as a by-product of star formation. When stars are born, their birth is accompanied by a strong outward wind of gas and dust. She is a star!" My mother said to me with an air of acquired wisdom.

When she is poorly handled and in a bad sanitation area, she is deadly. When in fury, her brows crinkle into a frown. She turns red, her breath short. Ugh! She'll be filled with terrible rage.

According to report, some five million deaths a year is caused by her. Conversely she can be kind, meek and will certainly lighten up the people around her. Oh, how I love it when she is happy! She glows, she sparkles - she is beautiful. Her eyes glint like diamonds, her entire body clean and fresh like a beautiful blue of the colour of a cloudiness sky.

She is an attractive paragon of excellence. There is always an air of soothing relief, content whenever she stepped out. Many find her sound and appearance to be calming, inviting and adoring.

She is illustrious and satisfying. She is mentioned numerous times in the Bible, for example: The earth was formed out of her and by her.
In the Qur'an it is stated that "Living things are made of her" and she is often used to describe paradise.

She is also taken as a role model in some parts of traditional and popular Asian philosophy. James Legge's translation of the Dao De Jing states that "she is the highest excellence achieved on earth. Her excellence appears in it's occupying, without striving (to the contrary), the low place which all men dislike.
Hence (her way) is near to (that of) the Tao" and "There is nothing in the world more soft and weak than her, and yet for attacking things that are firm and strong, there is nothing that can take precedence of her - for there is nothing (so effectual) for which she can be changed."

As I watched her move in waves, she smiled back at me with her vivid blue eyes. She has a youthful appearance, clear smooth skin which influences perception of beauty and physical attractiveness.
She is a classical vision of beauty, absolutely flawless!
She is snowy, she is pure... She can drizzle, freeze, hail and rain. But can only come in three states: Solid, Liquid and Gaseous...

She is water.
