Poet in a Pool of Love
...... For You Ajinle

A

When my yearning becomes a letter
Of love inside the dust of time
This lyric will deliver my affection to you
Ajinle the precious daughter of Adegboye
For love is always love
For two dreaming hearts
When their hearts never departs each other

Three Popple logs still lie where they fell,
a log triangle; an overgrown dell.
One newly fallen and two not so new,
dissolving repose; beginning anew.
A leaf carpet, yellow, oranges and brown,
soften the lines between logs and the ground.
On white paper bark the sentences close
with woodpecker periods; bark...

I have had too many spirits that have pushed me beyond & beyond seeking a brighter sunrise,
But here predominantly articulates my 26th mirror with my 26th esprit,
Besides a band of 25 mirrors and veinticinco espíritu lived since,
Now please hold, as I locate my account information,
The...

The man I will never know
A shadow
Not even a footstep to follow

No memories to rely
Fainted pictures
No reason to cry

Would I be what I am woe
Useless reasonings
For only God would know

My father has gone, passed from sight
Curse death for he hath won the fight

Why then do...

When  thousand stars shall glow,
You'll be there among their brightness.
You are the moon savored in joy.
There are stories about us unwritten,
You live by the center of my heart
Because our emotions run together.

Writers are never tired of their work,
So we must write to defend freedom;
Those...

rising from bed in the morning
seeking shelter when it's storming
idly whiling stray hours away
dreaming there will be better days
fabricating a self-image
with a more prominent linage
doodling on back of a letter
shunning life as a go-getter

paying of various taxes
wielding rhetorical axes
stopping by the grocery store
dealing with muscles...

He was cursed outside the camp
and he is Gods flaming Lamp
his tears not have been forgotten
he is the only Son begotten

His thoughts are always prayer
that mankind learn to care
and in his Word we live
when we ourselves forgive

On a donkey did he ride
with the high priests...

Looking in the mirror 
What do I see?
A Beautiful Black Woman 
Staring at me
I don’t grace 
The cover of 
A Beauty Magazine
But I have been 
Known to cause
A scene
Carmel with a little swirl 
Is how 
I describe myself
Chocolate Eyes 
Projecting 
My inner soul
Cheekbones 
That only...

The Curse On My Linage 


Oh linage 
I now sit and wonder,
why thou have grown so slow in progress
And wasteful in resources.

Ah!
Then i realize our great forebears
Laid too numerous generational 
Curses on us all, curses 
That now beat the drums of...

According to Matthew's recording of the Gospel story, Jesus' genealogy consists of a total of 47 names.*  Four of them are women.  Of the 47 names, I am familiar with 23 of them. That is less than half the total. Of the 23...

"Now give me your ears! Face me 
and don't be afraid to face the BLOOD
that birthed braveness, I will shield you as you 
shield me from the enemies that may come from behind me in a fierce blunt manner.
When the warriors come, do not be...

Oh unto to us a child is born!
Unto to us a child was given!
This special child came from
God the Father in heaven's
lofty heights above. All because
of God's redeeming love. *

Oh Christ the Lord was born
unto to us today! Hallelujah! 
Christ was born for man and
woman...

It is not my fault. 
Not in my linage,
not in my blood,
how to make things 
disappear as I pass close 
to other peoples things 
or items not mine 
or cherished possessions,
not even in their absence,
things not my own, 
not belonging to me,
for I am not...

I have not always history enjoyed 

	It started small
a little corner of my minds eye
But my vision widened
	Into history,
		and her story.
     I became intrigued.
What fine clothes they wore,
	what handsome steeds,
		Purer flower and fauna.
Architecture so inspired
	Multi spired
Vastly simple
	Opulent, yet necessary
Where was I...

I put up the barriers and molded the Great White Stone.
I searched all written doctrines that embodied my light.
It was a remarkable journey let me tell you of my flight.
I even went through DNA of every strand of every bone.
 
I matched all the genetic...
