Best Capitulates Poems

You wrap my name
In syllables of love
Passion tinged sound units
Caressed by the beauty of your voice
you leave me no choice
but to yield....

breathed into my ear
you release
letter sojourners to travel
down the curve of my neck
to a cadence that captivates
and my heart capitulates
When you say my name....

When...

YES !


Written in my palms
Within the plasma tempest of my cellular flow
Courses in the pulmonary oxygen
The direction linear fate
Souls writing indicates
Always through pass of time
Reverberates
My breathing in
Links my hands
Physical over mental
Pours consistent
Suffused empire shudders
Tangible still earthquakes
On a single point
Of longing

Yearning 
It filters me
Through the hours
Designs...

Salivating to desecrate
     Her bones
In state

Lacking
     Brains, Heart, Courage
The wizard 
     Capitulates.

The Longing Soul

The moment has arrived 
And the night has passed, yet the feelings remain
The sunshine and the clouds dance in the sky
As the wind calls to the longing soul…

Here is the place of yielding
Tranquility has its say in the matter
Life is the mother of...

Ebony inks the emptiness of space
highlighting the stars that adorn the Night.
And as Luna rises to take her place,
daylight and darkness morph into twilight;
as the moon and sun seemingly embrace.

Dusk dons a sequined ethereal shawl,
as distant stars twinkle in the darkness.
And the sound of a...

CUPID/EROS 


Oh! Erato, 
Muse of the poetry of love
Inspire me today
I supplicate you for 
I aspire for HIM to write 
HIM: CUPID, the son of Venus
Goddess of beauty, and of Mercury, 
The cunning messenger 
Of Gods

Guide my pen, Oh, Muse,
I implore you, a hymn for...

Spent and Battle Weary,
the exhausted figure trudges the well worn path 
like the to-ings and fro-ings of some relentless seaside donkey. 
Utterly defeated,she resumes her rhythmic rocking, almost robotic in its ministry.
No welcome here for this fretful form 

Out of time
This usurper of liberty, predator...

Levity from the pain of a love that was never meant to be
within the portrait of our fillial destiny
was what you granted to me while wanting nothing in return
but affinity of hearts for the lesson of love to earn
such moments when we descry our children...

ISALE EKO  (LAGOS)

A rooster of discrete tongues
Culture, tradition
Where,
Zillion specters resonate
Quantum croak.
Cock crow,
Erupts whirl, barge at Alaba
Descry of sea of soul cases
Kibbling in, out as Emmet over nectar,
As husky ell of murk drench dawning,
Eviscerate NEPA's  spasmodic spitfire
To stupor, obloquy.
The hindmost geezer nestling,
Drenched in diaphoresis...

Manly sight blessed with a meal so spicy
morals hit a stone from getting tipsy
strong desire cultivates
the body capitulates
will downgraded, poorer than a gypsy....

A short, fat man with ruddy nose
Who dresses up in ruddy clothes
And sits behind a tiny herd
Of reindeer as they fly like birds

Across the sky delivering gifts
To boys and girls. He must be swift!
To answer every wish and hope
That omnipresent philanthrope

From pole to pole they...

This happens all the time,
The water ripples far from my mind,
I know not, yet know yet again;
the water ripples, is this my sign?

If I walk away, will I sink?
If a wish comes, is it a thought?
What is it that I feel,
Aye, Aye, how could this...

when the rich wage war, it is the poor who die
overflowing their bank accounts as they lie

hiding behind niceties as they make us slaves
wars made to control us, which they create and crave

when will we learn that segregation is to take?
not just our lives, homes...

My feet leave blood upon this mountain path.        
They seek the stones that tear at them--
that tear away my thoughts of Isaac, 
far ahead of me, 
effusive in his lust for the unknown;
these stones that speak to me...

Another plain defies relating, 
near as breath, 
as far as imagery will travel
'til it too capitulates,
and no one knows who has not visited
an "is" that cannot be,

I touched its edge, full knowing
that it could not be contained,
or grasped, or even sensed
in its completeness.  Nor
would...
