Hafeni Nghidinua Poems

I've loved you for the longest time
And it broke my heart when I found
That the romance I felt was mine
& your love for me was Philia
...

If eyes could speak, they would betray my emotions
My thoughts laid bare and my secrets exposed
If eyes could speak I'd be completely naked
You could look into my eyes and see my every thought
...

There are too many roses down on the ground
There are too many people throwing them around
Every rose has a value unbound
So would you please pick them up from the ground?
...

Sleep little Eleanor and sleep forever
Forget the troubles that lie behind you
Close your eyes and let them wonder
Sleep forever and fall into the blue
...

There's a girl standing in the rain
She seems lost and frowning in pain
All she wants is a friend for a day
She's alone on a warm summer's day
...

A hyena is a cruel and wretched thing
Where most hunters would mercifully choose
To end its prey and devour it then,
Evolution never taught it such mercy
...

There will come a day when you will pay
For the wrong you've done against me
And the hell you caused me to pain
You'll pay ten-fold for what you did
...

I love you, it's a simple fact
To say it is a different matter though
Words don't come easy to me and that fact
Will ensure that my feelings are never known
...

I am a man
The bane of my existence
And my greatest nemesis
This will not be the first that i water my self hatred
...

I've loved you for the longest time
I told you on a summer's night
Your love for me was Philia
But losing me would be rife
...

There is a tragedy in this world
That every eye speaks in silence
Subtly and unheard,
Oh if eyes could speak...
...

Love is a gift
Marriage a sanctimony
Sanctimony is glass
Once upon a time
...

For better or worse until death do us part
These lovely words are used to build glass
Put up on the shelf, with the beautiful China
And whatever is said, then after doesn't matter
...

14.

Home is where the heart is
The familiar thing
That gently warms your being
That place of comfort
...

Whatever you do
Wherever you go
Whatever you chase
Run with the wind
...

I envy deeply, love that is a home
A mutual love, it gives, it takes
Love that lives in a selfless tone
Nicked, and cracked in alluring ways
...

Appreciate me for every diamond i'm worth
Never take me for granted or leave me in dirt
Cherish me as i love you
Give me the love love that i give you
...

I want someone who can be there for me when I'm down
Who knows what to say to bring me up
Who's there to pull me up when my self-esteem is low
Who tells me I am worth so much more
...

Why do we beg for love?
Why do we die without attention?
Why do we prefer to be two instead of one?
Why do we seek warmth from a body that is not ours?
...

We both roamed upon this land
But this tiny soldier in my hand
Was destined to meet his end
On the day I chose to kill an ant
...

The Best Poem Of Hafeni Nghidinua

A Prisoner Of Friendship

I've loved you for the longest time
And it broke my heart when I found
That the romance I felt was mine
& your love for me was Philia
To lose me would be an inconvenience
So for you I became a prisoner

Lying became my vogue
I smiled behind bars of rage
My Jealousy and anger grew
As I watered them night and day

Does he hold you they way I would hold you
Does he kiss you with the passion that I would
Is he good in bed? I bet that I could do better.
Screams my green eyed monster
His charm is better his words are smoother
His demeanour more assertive
But I am more deserving
Of not just your love
But also your hand in marriage
Or am I?
Ensues my insecurities.

So I quietly smiled in pain
And watched you both be happy
While behind my bars of rage
My anger & jealousy flourished

One day my heart could take no more
My cup of rage was filled to the rim
I ran before the cup over flowed
I broke my chains & I was finally free.

I kept my distance
You felt inconvenienced
I was finally doing me
And I felt so free
I'm sorry if that hurt you

After a while his secrets were revealed
And you finally saw what I knew all along
You meant little to him, he was a fiend.
In my arms I had the comfort you sought
So you sought me out and to you I ran
And seeing your sorrow, I took advantage
I asked for your love and you sadly gave it
You were defeated and I was selfish

How was I any better than him?
And finally you came to your senses
I was loving, but I was not what you wanted
You broke my heart but the fault was mine
This was never meant to be, however hard I tried

I came to a cognisance
What we had was toxic
Whatwe needed was distance
I loved you, I earnestly did
& I wish you nothing but happiness
On whichever path you progress
I hope that you never feel lost
The path that I take will be different
And I hope that the two never cross
