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
...
