If I was a poet

[Dantay1]

If I was poet

.........................................................

 

If I was poet I would write a thousand lines

Explain the intersection of time

In simplicity I would resolve the issue of the day

 

If I was poet I would be revolutionary like the SAYED

I would be as cool as KHALIF

A peace maker and resolve this never ending grief

 

I would try and convey the majesty of the word

In one line one great rhyme

 

If I was a poet fruitful debates would endure

I would strive for no acclaim and hope for no reward

 

If I was a poet these words would touch your heart , Give hope to those who struggle

To them a guiding light in the dark ,Remind them that truth has no equal and love has no sequel

 

If I was a poet I would compose that endless verse

It would have no hate and contain no curse

 

If I was a poet every Somali would be heroic

Our women beautiful and they would know it

My words would transcend region and clan

They would be pure and you would understand

 

If I was a poet I would endear love and make people see ,this is our time you and me

Lovely!

[Dantay1]

Is it genetic to be so poetic?

The words they spin

The creativity is it hereditary?

 

Can a poet explain pain?

Can he fathom the logic of the insane?

 

Hoping is a poet’s desire

Rationing the irrational is his fire

Words his ammunition

A poet contemplates no competition

 

Visions are what poets see

The days the night s and what’s in between

 

Is a poet romantic or is that getting too dramatic?

Now a poet must be a lover

To his loved one there is no other

 

A poet is a possibility of the arts

So rare are poems it’s hard to start

 

Now its time for a new poet

Shadow Of Women

Shadow of women is sin, whoever she is

Desire comes in; all her beauty is fake;

Just to make your heart shake.

Maybe you loved her so deep

Maybe to you she worth a gold.

But women with love you never hold.

 

Shadow of women is grave, you dig and dig

Feeling safe, love words you spoken.

She will leave your heart broken.

A kiss or more. Make you from joy fly.

But someday reject shows in her eye.

All love she showed, she denies.

Then you believe me my words and believe love is Cry.

 

Shadow of women is tear, make love like fear.

You though her life you steer.

But you never were that near.

You want romance fell the air, she for your love never there.

 

Shadow of women is dream, but never nice as it seems.

U wish it never took you that long,

To see that you were wrong, but you loved her

So strong. For her you made a song.

But That all is gone, Forgiveness ladies, if you think am wrong, tea is cold and fire is dead all my Words I said...

It seems like everyone in this world

Is looking for perfection

But how do we find something that doesn`t exist? Know what I`m saying?

I would give my life for you, no matter what the situation

Last days of hope, trials and tribulation

Frustrations, killing every woman and man

If you could see what I see, then you might understand

That I could never be a perfect man up in this chaos. Now

It`s been some time that me and My Girl were still shining

Who`d imagine it`d be Her I`d be finding

Someone so real, who took care of my heart

Anybody that tried couldn`t pull us apart.

She was there from day one `til this present time.

She should be the definition of what love really is

I know every man wish their girl was like this

I put Her through some things, best believe that I`m sorry

My love goes out to her, no more fits the category

Won`t talk back and respect what I say

Independant, strong woman, no time for child`s play

There`s no more of what I got and She still stick around

I`m not the perfect man, but for her I bow down

I wanna be Her man `til the Lord takes us to the clouds

Ain`t no perfect man with no perfect woman all around And That`s Real!!
