That’s Fine by Eli Oko
Can I highlight the fine line between the plain truths and white lies Things are not always black and white guys Mothers have powers, anything lost they can find It’s the power within, like an owl with their eyes Despite through the high times Mothers are not always right guys and that’s fine. Fathers can…

Please Don’t Judge Me by Eli Oko
We may have parked up, stopped and spoken for a bit We got closer than you think He leant over for a kiss My mind sobered from the wish I guess I was left hoping for a mint But then my eyes opened for a bit Don’t judge me I’ve been lost most times…

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…

The Host by Eli Oko
I watch movies regularly so decided to integrate my hobbies and take note off key words I heard throughout the movie to structure my poem inspired by the movie. The first movie I tried is The Host. Enjoy! Completely invaded Intruder alert Occupy all emotions I feel pain and sense hurt Drifting apart as a…

The Beauty of Age by Eli Oko
Staring into the mirror, what have I become As the wrinkles get deeper, I count one by one The scars in my eyes As I stand in fear of my past That it catches up to my future and divides me like parts A moment ago I was young and had goals and now I…

Gliese 581D (It is what it is) by Eli Oko
I’ve never expected the worse I just accept what things are If I fall I get up Opportunist who takes chance I like floating on clouds Drifting in my space I’ve never dosed of too far So the emotions stay on my face I’ve held on to my roots Like it’s wedged to my hands…
