THE HAND THAT MINDS THE AUTHOR 

( for Christie Achebe) 

The hand that minds the author

What is life like rivalling words?

When you decked your bed with persian sheet

And stuffed your pillow with the autopedics

When you perfumed your room with arabian scent

And wore your pyjamas to...

(Me slippery fingers slither,
slip and slide splashing ala

I'd been caught up in the middle, of one of those awful days,
When nothing seems to go right, with glitches and delays.

I was having a rough day at work, and the boss was now irate;
And all I could think about, was sweet tropical island escape!

When...

No Matter Papa Repents...

Every blasted acrimonious misdeed
aye indelibly perpetrated
affecting ye and the Punim for life
hounds me doggone soul night and day
venomous wrath torments, strangles, racks...

perhaps previous attempts to communicate,
(albeit poetically - for no rhyme...

All my life I had loved music, and rapturous harmonies thrilled my soul,
As the sound of a wild driving beat, causes eager feet to take control.

As a longtime concert pianist, I'd been fortunate to follow my passion,

I lavished absurdly upon my wardrobe, in excess of what was practical,
Like the glittering rainbow colors, proffer more than what is passable!

Though...

I must have seen your face a thousand times
each time making me yearn even more;
my heart feels the warmth, oh! how sublime
taking my attention from the ravages of war.

I love the way you wriggle your shoulders
but makes me jealous when you flirt with him;

Attitude with latitude

originally written January 19th, 2019
and tension defines the dynamic

Valiant prince sip pulled effort
rebuffed, snubbed, thumbed
courtesy eldest daughter
uncontested vainglorious woke
mine genuine apology,
viz sincerely yours truly
psyche asper paternal overture
toward aforementioned offspring
