Poem of Creation - Prologue
I sing the God Almighty’s Creation Whereof were firstly born Adam and Eve former seed of any human Nation at the time they could only conceive the joyfulness with no desperation In the Eden still so far to receive The challenge of that infernal snake Who wanted to be a godlike fake! I also sing about the brave men strays, Straight descendents from...

Premium Member Give me one last night of silence in the cosmic temple of ancient memory
Give me one last night of silence in the cosmic temple of ancient memory, Where shadows dance with light in circles of fire and hidden divine grace, To touch with trembling fingers the stars from the cup of the thirsty soul, To drink from the black wine of eternity, from chalices filled with moon's blood. Give me one last...

Premium Member Under the moonlight, in the silence that sings like an ancient bell
Under the moonlight, in the silence that sings like an ancient bell, Thoughts flow like a river of stars illuminating the path, Mirroring in waters the faces of forgotten gods, ancient shadows, In a dance of eternity, where desire and fear meet. Between truth and dream, a silver bridge is built in the night, A path to infinity, where spirits...

i know i'm late, so here's a picnic basket to make up for it
There is something so sad about fireworks. They're so flashy, pretty, and exciting, but as they fade it makes you feel sort of lonely. Afterall, they're nothing more than a semi-permanent spark intended to entertain for a semi-permanent moment. The people that come into our lives are a lot like the fireworks: flashy, pretty, exciting. Then we...

Many paths lead away from home but only one leads back as the years sit salted upon the rack you find the path home has narrowed and turned from gates of iridescence to mirrors opaque and black- you arrive with exhaustion on your boots a feast of favorites on a favorite plate go upstairs to your yellow crib have those unreachable dreams again\ things...

I felt the earth moving under my roots. Very same feeling deep down as it was - five thousand years ago when Flame Mountain started murmuring and belching before. It turned its anger on all of us spewing a fire river of scorching lava burning the brush to ash, darkening all living things it touched in its flow. They call me "Methuselah The...

An Ancient RuIn
The guide with his cheesy hat, and colorful umbrella encourages us to: gather 'round. His anecdotal spiel is by rote. His shtick is fact-slim and slick, but it’s also my current gestalt as I am dragged unwillingly along by his CliffsNotes speech. What catches my wandering eye is that one of those ruined effigies is a fair facsimile of myself. He (a god/king...

Premium Member Under the sky like an ancient parchment, etched with falling stars
Under the sky like an ancient parchment, etched with falling stars, I told her I would be the shadow of the tree under which dreams rest, I said I would be the place where tears turn into butterflies, That I would be the silence that embraces the echo of extinguished pains. But when she came, carrying a universe of...

Enugu, Nigeria, Africa
In Enugu, where coal city dreams rise, Beneath Nigeria’s sun, under African skies, Hills whisper tales of Igbo grace, Ancient spirits dance in this sacred place. Palm trees sway, red earth hums low, Nsukka’s wisdom in breezes flow. Markets pulse with kola nut’s cheer, Okpa’s warmth draws loved ones near. From Awhum’s falls, where waters sing, To Udi’s cliffs, where...
