Best Oblivious Poems

It seemed like nature had concocted a singular miracle
As I sat on the wooden bench looking in towards the woodland.
A red maple tree stood tall surrounded by eucalyptus trees
While down below grew the yellow protea and acacia scrubland.

Sun filtered in between the green and red...

Here on the cusp of all things, is where I succumb 
Ceding my stuff blindly, toward oblivion and none 
Unwilling to persevere, without a modicum of fun 
Listing in perpetual stasis, til the spasm’s undone 

And yet a god may save me, or a talisman...

I cannot stand your presence for another day,
You have ruined me in every possible way,
All this hidden pain inside was caused by you,
My tears were invisible, so you never knew.

You abused me daily with your uncaring words,
I ignored it and pretended like it was unheard,
You...

She walks barefooted in a slit swing dress
on verdant grass; her hair a blaze of gold.
Light wind is teasing with a sweet caress
I look in envy, yet my tongue I hold
lurking in shadows, yearning to profess
my deep emotions, but I am not bold. 
Her perfume...

 U n c o n s c i o u s  while the entire universe 
fights against her reality,
           she seems to have been MISTAKEN…
She makes all things decent worse, 
holding an insensitive...

I strut the lane of vagrancy
With breaths choking from evening’s plea,
As lampposts dip across the night
When love undone grates my delight;
Reflecting scenes... a cracked marquee.

Trapped in the void of emptied lea
A begging howls... my cries decree
For sparks to glow, to take new flight!
I strut the...

We're feeling thoroughly swamped by
waves and waves of smiling faces.
And as the crowd breaks into cheers,
we proudly mark our paces.

With arms extended and knees bent,
facing forward, we barely blink.
And left-right-left-right-left, our boots
strike the pavement in perfect sync.  

Left-left, left-right-left, drums the beat,
pulling our invisible...

They were speaking loudly.
Nothing could I hear.
Volumes are clear.
Chatter is around me,
Nothing could I hear.

Am I listening?...

Your high opinion is all that matters
you think the rest of us are merely fools
High handedness leaves others in tatters
can’t you play fair and follow the set rules?
Harsh words and one’s self confidence shatters
we aren’t stupid so don’t treat us like mules!
I’ve seen your mistakes,...

#“OBLIVIOS QUESTION”
Why do you because of corruption banish good governance from entering your passage?
Why do you choose to clad your mind with insincerity?
Why do you choose to lace your shoe with B.sc, B.agric, B.tech, HND, ND,NCE…and you still wear jacket of unemployment?
Why can we boast...

He sits in a corner 
Motionless and still
Hiding from an enemy 
Refusing to kill
Beaten and battered 
Alone in this game
Afraid to show himself 
For reasons like shame
Golden hair fibers
Resting on top
Oblivious to life
The voices won't stop
They walk and they run
They pay him no mind
While fighting...

As mauve of autumn waves her velvet cloak
Each treetop, each leaf upturns a  glazed hue:
That  between dusk and morn, the winds evoke
A  heartbeat tempo of evening’s debut--
Oblivious to chills with  beams on oak
Parading their grandeur , regal in view,
Then once again...

whims may become a blessing or a curse
pushing one toward certain ruin or worse
drinking from the deep well of evasion
well versed in dark practices of persuasion
fixating on dreams of what ought to be
avoiding what mirrors reality

totally free of social encumbrances
in spite of what the best...

Loyalty brings even the fortified few to falter somnambulantly in succession
As if tranced to commit, their convictions are true yet skewed
The blind emotional outburst of bigotry and cynicism conveyed 
Is but a microcosm of what pain these individuals likely feel
Something of an atrocity to be...
