When Meaning Is Meaningless

When Meaning Is Meaningless
The value of life is delicious debris
                                     When meaning is meaningless
The victims search bread crumbs in the bounteous stale loaf
The light of nude night blinks blindness

What does  meaning mean for life at the edge?
  for ant’s feasting  in farmished frocks
I find flames from the bottomless fire of life
                     If you seek meanings on this ploughed lanes
                   
You sing museless songs of leprous crochets

                                             When meaning is meaningless

 Those who saw off meaning say:
‘See this sense with little sense and
  keep this lunacy living in the silent hut’

The dire strait of sense- less bigots
Stifle the lobes of logic-quotient that can midwife meaning
                                                              What meaning is in our meaning? 
Around the carnary class of misfiring mermaids

What meaning do we allot a life laden in scars
From fiery vaults and heart brakes from many lovers.
We shall find the missing syllables and symphonies
And sing songfuls in the sweet seraphdom

I am a young single, shy and easy going Nigerian who just completed a master's degree in literature. I've been a poet for long but the muse deserted me when I keep losing them. I'm happy to rediscover Appollo and Hippocrate's magic again.
