Escape of the Bluesman's SongWithin the frame a sepia scene
a dusty porch a rickety chair
the fabric of your dusky face creased
with ceaseless sunbaked woes
your old pair of getaway feet gives
a different walk of life
to an old pair of thrown-away shoes
two sizes too...

I Talk To the TreesI sing the songs of the aspens and the oaks
They sing to me harmonies and lovely verses
Accompanied by the breezes’ instrumentation
They teach me while the forest choir rehearses.
The taller pines express fervent gratification
That Mother Nature has given them height
So that they may see horizons far...

An English Adaptation of Mephistopheles' Song of the Flea From FaustThere was a king once reigning
Who carried a great, big flea—
And far from him complaining,
The flea filled the king with glee!
For to him that flea was dearer
Than even his only son,
And to make his preference clearer,
Raised it higher than anyone!
In ermine, silk and satin
The flea...

Invincible KingCaptivating rhythms and acoustics
Forged through repetitions of worlds creations
An unfathomable force ever in existence
Expressed in a singular performance
Living each day until your last to fulfil a talent
Although talent is never enough, you were defiant
In you ‘We are the world,’ for with you we saw
Our...

EkpomaFrom the very first time I set foot in this place,
I determined to prosper,
Ekpoma,
like a work bench,
and a technician's manual on instrumentation,
reaches for instruments,
of vitality,
with market gestures,
and a gesticulating culture,
in the land of the living,
under a plastic cloud of mood swings,
hanging partly by a vegetable...

Theater of Utter Charm Part 17Part 17
a kitchen drawer filled with throwaway lines
taped across the raw spots
itching festering inquiries eh inspector
asking the unavoidable
if we know how we got here
there's a better chance to know
where the fated flatulence we are going
if beauty is misused is it still beauty
what you don't perceive...

Out of GasI had decided to go through with it
and this time it was serious
not just another
melodramatic episode
brought on by events
that were beyond
my control
this was the real thing
a calm calculated decision
I had taken care of outstanding debts
paid up bills, ran errands
mowed the lawn
and fixed a leaking tap
words...

The Darkness That IsTHE DARKNESS THAT IS
They have no idea of the struggle I live with everyday and every night.
I clime the life that I have made only to find that someone has cut the rope.
Best efforts only help the chosen and angry, never the needy and deserving.
I...

If Only You Knew
"The wind haul off the leaves in the afternoon lull as memories are taken with it." Quote by poet
If only you knew
How much I loved you.
My thoughts lay on the leave's dew
As the brilliant day slowly fades through
In the distant horizon over play
in a meaningful...

Indigenous WisdomBack in the day,
before right hand
leftbrain dominance
became our mean girl
weaponized thing
Our bilaterally balanced grandmothers,
whether Eastern Taoists
or Western Animists
(and almost certainly both)
did not think to separate
Left from Right,
mind from body,
passion from pleasure,
if only because our peak experiences
are more co-passionately resonant
than mind v body dissonant,
unhealthy universal spirit...

It is always better when the lights are outIt is always better when the lights are out

Over great instrumentation to wind me down
I have no fear they will call my name
And ask me to be kind on demand
Its better...
