 Shadowland 

Chained to the addiction of tempting Fate 
What if I told you that my life was once like yours?
Torn between love and hate
A shadow silhouette lurking between life and death
Fuelled by an emptiness to which I couldn’t relate

Caution to the wind of besting...

Summing Up
Mr MacPherson, a mathematician
Was married to Sally,a keen statistician.
With little division to trigger vexation
Their conjugal lives led to multiplication.
First Roland, then Harry and then the addition
Of first daughter Jenny, a gifted logician.

The one common factor of great satisfaction
Engendering fervour and strong interaction
Was love of arithmetic,...

When in the Course of Earth’s anthro-supremacist events, 
it becomes necessary for polycultures to resolve political bands 
which have connected Her with human nature, 
and to assume among the powers of Earth, 
separate and equal station to which the Laws of safe AnthroNature 
and of...

Strategically placed when raised 
Upwards
By your masterful and well 
Practiced hand.
To mingle with ever changing 
Skylines 
That frown down with arrogant 
Scowls
Upon the indigenous populous of 
This just and tolerant island.
To study and pontificate upon 
Predictable behaviour, 
When so lamentably remarking,
Then to inwardly digest;
Our conclusions...

The Preparation of the Wise Men - the Camels
They always made me happy, 
The camels of the wise men, 
The slowness of their footsteps, 
Their self-sufficient ben. 

Camels meant there was time, 
For the three wise men to think, 
To ponder upon their task, 
To review their role as a link. 

They were...

We have gone to the Kruger Park, and are now back,
All roads there are paved,
But for adventure, you can drive along very doable
Sand roads, the crocodile river runs parallel to
These sand roads and if you are lucky you can spot 
Hippos Or Crocs, which we...

The Geevagh Cross Prisoner
-
James Foley a rebelious man within his clan 
Lends a hand to his neighbour's eviction and land 
Decided in a church yard chat of alarm  
A process served on a man is evil and darned

Evicted from thatch is fearful in that there is no...

Drama of Life

For the sake of
one story to another 
that have been performed
my thought stopped me 
before snagged stepping 
in this life’s theater 
I latched onto the round by round 

I asked myself
did my casting 
satisfied
couldn’t circumvent existing scenarios
I am only an actor
episodes have ever...

Lost In a Melancholy
I remember when I met you...
I was just a scared kid who knew
Life was thirsty for all my tears.
You told me it would be okay,
I believed, but to my dismay,
You were wrong...it was what I feared.
Your optimism did nothing...
Except make this all more crushing,
Like I’m...

Letter To Bereaved Ones
I beg your forgiveness for I am not long for this world. Happenstance has led me down this path so crooked and forlorn. Misery has preceded my path and darkened my senses all but torn. Mistakes have illuminated my way though their light be a...

When a Dream Remains a Dream
When a dream remains a dream
it’s like I dived into 
the depths of the sea,
onto the corals down there 
to engrave my name
but the bottom was too deep 
and my breath too short
and I got bogged up
on the surface.

When a dream remains a dream
it’s like...

Premium Member Candour
Savouring joys of childhood,
Subtle longings as exquisite as silk,
Vibrant temper of euphoria and sombreness ,
I existed as a vivacious being.

Entrenched into studies and passion for friends,
Where intellect seemed to be all life,
Zealously endeavoured on ardent path,
Walked persistent and cherished travel.

Found my love and walked into...

Moments Like These
In moments like these you remember your faults
you remember your struggles  when life gave you halts
In moments like these you cherish your gifts
your achievements, your gains your vibes and your wits

In moment like these time shows you no mercy
no sliver of patience no penance...

Joan Of Arc

I loved my country, my brethren more dearer
Saved my country from onslaughter of the wicked
In the deadliest of nights by forewarnings of gods 
The gaping elders blessed their valorous commander
The enemies dwarfed by a power more gigantic.

The mutual protection of my divine guardians...

Reservoir of intelligence, beauty and passion,
And as a fairer creation,
I endeavoured for perfection.

Today I stand on tottering platform,
As a mannequin ,
Having lost my effulgence .

I am reduced to nonexistance ,
As you show the cold shoulder,
Having lost my identity.

In defiance to rejection,
As you spurn my passion,
I...
