Again and Again

Sometimes it gets too drastic,
When we cry for our love,
Sometimes we burn like plastic,
When we lose our love,
But should it happen again and again?

Every time I wipe my tears,
When my heart is pierced by spears.
Every time I curse the years,
When my heart is disappointed by my ears.
But should it happen again and again?

Sometimes we react highly,
But the loved ones suffer dearly.
Sometimes we disappear for long,
But our loved ones do cry for long.
But should it happen again and again?

Every time I close my eyes,
Should my love always toss my feelings like a coin?
Every time I sleep in dreams,
Should my love always betray my feelings?
But why does it keep on happening again and again? www.poemhunter.com/frank-okoth/

Solstice to solstice

He slept and awoke 
he had never believed in Heaven
and yet Jesus was watching over him.
it was rather unusual
the light came long after the thunder
the memories of purgatory came as they always did
the reek of rotting garbage
the stench of death
human urine and feces
the cries of hopelessness
the howling wind and the soft sobs
of forgotten men.
the passage of time from solstice to solstice

His flesh and soul withered
pummeled to inches of his life
He slept and awoke 
he had never believed in Heaven
and yet Jesus was watching over him
The passage of time from solstice to solstice..
