Best Fagged Poems

When death seeks a Valentine;
among Thy Angels, the devils dine,
And silently, the heavens break,
Thy Veil it stays, the liars rhyme;
And then Thy words, they fall apart,
in a suicide of eternal art;
And witness while the Devil speaks,
and steps above Thy highest peaks;
the Lies of order, the...

The warden’s bewildered, the keeper’s amazed
as the gate gapes behind us, a hole in the haze.
Our steps seem uncertain, the cobblestones crazed,
pearly stars burn above us like pinwheels ablaze.
Though lanterns hang vacant in streets staring blind,
broken paths paved in puzzles compel me to roam,

Off the market I dashed
In search of ingredients
To soup my poetry.
To all kiosk and stall I went
Yet I find none of it.

Fagged out on my fro home
Lost in thought of how 
To soup my poetry.
There I stumbled on it
Ingredients of my soup.

On my way I...

I opened my heart 
Where lies my brook?
Where are thou my Raven?
Our land is in FAMINE
Almost like that of the Israelites
I cried with millions
Wept for an ailing nation
Tubers of yam makes us yawn
Tomatoes puts us all in comatose
Bag of rice in crises
Garri soaking becomes a...

If there is life there 
must be an encounteration.
Even the moons and 
the suns, all get to return 
back if they passed 
to their eventual 
transportation. The morning
lights shunned and pass 
like flying clouds. When the 
deadlines had past during 
the time which something 
might...

A friend cast to the land of a distinct
Frigid base, she said...
Lonesome embraced the yearn, mum likewise
Forfeit the identity, stumbled to the pivot of stir

A missed scraped of self-consciousness
The alert of all mistaken
Failed which taken about the half year of a time
Still another year kindly...

The pain of night




When sleep ditches me at midnight hour,
Loneliness haunts as no one is in sight,
and in his thoughts I travel with stars,
The whole day is fagged in inside fight,
but who can imagine the pain of night ?

*** Sketching the Ballerina ***

It is well, quite well after midnight. 
My pup lies fagged on the blanket
    as close to me as possible.
The young ballerina sits slightly slumped
On a bench across from the barre, still wearing 
Her  stage costume with...

Bright and bearing arms
Drawing me by your charm
You're an angel

I run in ecstatic glee
Fall on my knees
You sweep me off my feet

We dance into the night
Some tango to some grime
Angels know no bedtime

I'm fagged as a burned out cigar 
You're just about to start
I'm unprepared...

The sweat droped from his tatherd shirt
as he realized his fate was near.

He paused between sentences because
he couldn't belive it was finally here.

The day, time, and place was different
but it was all the same.

The feeling, thoughts, and moments
all filled with pain.

As he looked up he...

Just a day before this dotting
I woke up anew, fagged
Unto the toilet I beckoned
One, two, three, four,  . . .times
Flaccidity   ran all over me
I could not stand nor sit down 
On my Mama’s   footstool
For I was foot-billing a  stool

Chewing...

While the morning darkness fades away

The elegance of the light 

Prances along the gleaming sky

Gathering the fagged minds

Into a hypnotizing trance

That takes you on a lifelong journey

Of cheer and hope....

I'm gradually losing strength,
And will exhale my last breath any moment from now,
The bio-weapon and its politics in my motherland tore into my flesh and soul,
Now fate rolls the dice.

It's really bad for me and clear as a forest pool,
I'm drying and expiring, it's like...

Sounds no fun; to not know for sure
And immediately
Till which feeling, as twixt us here
Sparks, recognizably.
Down on which spacious floor, Earth-spun
Life-danced, guest to guest
If half a lifetime, and more fagged
For that heart's unrest!

Stepped aside then, angels, for Him
Lightens the mood of all:
"Think of it, rather,...
