Safe Haven by Eli Oko
Please Let me be your safe haven That place made for escaping The distant location Something like a vacation But closer to the answer you been asking for, for ages It’s not green grass but it grows fast And the fresh plants can be eaten You won’t travel to survive once you’re staring into my…

Unpaid Dues by Eli Oko
Staring at blank pages I wonder how to start writing the words I feel I think that maybe I should return when the voices chill I can hear them again so clear they begin and don’t end unless I answer They remind me of my unpaid dues we’re like unfazed youths planning to run ways,…

Vocals by Eli Oko
I have only the sound of my words to identify my thoughts and intentions I hate that I can express the thoughts on my mind Through a method more divine I guess the main thing I am looking for is an intervention I hear the questions how and why as if we’ve been questioning for…

His Wall by Eli Oko
I found myself staring at his wall. And as I imagined what the other side looked like I was blinded by the everything’s and nothings I saw. It was cold as I stepped off the boat but it seems every journey I take unwillingly takes me to a destination I could only construct in my…

Above Us by Eli Oko
… And the world we live in was blue with the sound of the sky above us. Why? they whispered, but I never answered. And the heat from the words unspoken blew holes into her soul that was beneath her thoughts. No lost carriage on our runaway train just the passengers and the 4 legged…

And The Words Were Green by Eli Oko
And the words were green. They shattered the feelings I had, of accomplishment and pride. I no longer stood, I was crawling for the things I wanted. I had neither the best nor the worse, It was all unspoken of. I was just green and the rest was history. Not the history that goes down…

Colder than words by Eli Oko
These were your words, these are my words. Let us make a line between them and not allow the ends to meet. Let us show all for what it is really worth. These are powerful, these are weak. I am like lava melting as a condescending tone amongst truthful speech. I am not warm, I…
