Best Shamelessness Poems
When your reflection, wearing nothing but
the dusty light, splashed out of the mirror,
I clearly understood that skies abut
inferno, that Elysium is nearer
than what is written in the books, that hell
is deeper, that such shameless nakedness,
such outspoken shamelessness foretell
doom of my soul, that your dark grey silk dress
lays out on the floor, that you don’t cast
a shadow, that the wings behind your back
are made of darkness, that my reared up lust
is too overt for you, that your long black
braids are entwined with serpents, that I stand
before you fully dressed, that those few
things I held dear – God, freedom, homeland –
don’t matter anymore, that I love you.

intoxicated by entwined souls,
breasts beating, breathing
in the amalgamation of us.
trust in lips, tongues, stress
of otherworldly communication.
neo-occasion of bare skin,
slightly shy, surrendering
to the shift and slide—
sensuality played portentously…
innocence irrigated…
blind.
intoxicated by the itch;
you scratch
my back like a kitten.
my feet and knees
find your warm precipices
of carnal knowledge.
together we learn
there’s an inner universe;
exploration
of mysterious habitation.
in practice, in habit
tingling of dendrites
over and over again.
intoxication’s jealous—
jumps for joy
at your touch…
knows where your headed
north or south…
intoxicated by extremes,
the shudder of sensuality,
shamelessness of dreaming
in your bed, calling only
your name, stamped
with approval— our’s,
story comes to
a climactic conclusion—
Your Welcome.

We have heard it said before
That the soul beats on
Long after the heart has tired in its mortal labor
Where will our songs go
After the grave has subdued its cries?
Angered, silent ghosts will drop a glass
And never hear it's shatter...
How much more to them than broken glass,
Will you matter?
Remember this before your first exit:
There will always be those that will hear the music,
Beyond your days of breath
Only special ears in tuned with the earth,
And its universe he and she will see in all its shamelessness
Sing on!
Sing on to those you know will hear
Let never your soul be mute
Long after those special ears, tongue, flesh, and eyes
Close to rot

Down into the valley of socialization
Societal vices thrives without limitation
In my city, moral has worn the clothes of
civilization
It's value have nosedived into the pit of
humiliation
There both male and female feast just like
the beast
Meanwhile you cant resist the cyst
Cause it has covered both You and I
Today, shame has no hidden place in our
heart
Our conscience is driven away like a sport
car
The fume from the exhaust we applaud
But you know carbon mono-oxide is lethal
Yet we claim its civilization
Wont this kill You and I
Nakedness is an act of being naked
A product of shamelessness
The society is helpless because our mothers
are less concerned
'Flaunt it. You've got what it takes'
Thus: she praised as she catwalk down the
stricken street
At adolescent she conceived and bore a child
of no father
Will this not affect You and I
Truth...why are you pleading for it
It has been long buried beneath the six feet
As you can see, corruption triumph more in
our societies
From kids to parents,leaders to followers,
home to abroad
It has diffused through the earth just like fart
But no one cares; all we care about is NOW
Change the only factor that has remained
constant
Will you not change before the story is told to
You and I
Killings, suicide bombings, cheat, treason,
occult, lynching,
Kidnapping, indulgence, Nuisance, violence,
hypocrisy et al
Are all bored of corruption
End time is not close; Jesus Christ is not
coming today
But one day, you will wake up and find
yourself in hell or heaven
If we don't choose to make the world a better
place today
Wont this affect You and I?

Blank verse
In late November fam’lies gather ‘round
to always celebrate Thanksgiving Day;
with feast on table, turkey golden browned,
they fold their hands pretending that they pray.
They gorge themselves with second helpings as
the food before them more than they can eat;
the shamelessness of feast affluence has,
and even fam’ly dog will get a treat.
Yet, as this fam’ly feasts, on corner stands
a shabby homeless man with homemade sign
and tin cup held so tightly in his hands,
“Will work for money so that I can dine.”
Perhaps it’s time to view our soul’s good health
and with mankind forever share our wealth.

Pray, why?
Scrape them off
The "little" people - your sheep
Pied paupers of your parochial perspectives
Mud off a work boot, scraped on the sill
Washed cowardly clean by countless tears
The veiled weep of mothers, the ache of their empty wombs
Shrouded for shamelessness' sake, the greater, holy good
Brushed with conscience under the rug of reputation
Pray, what horns do skull caps hide these days?
What more heinous evil than that which wears the mask of God?
A sacred, divine trust, centuries built
Sullied for sordid saints and their horrid piety
The wee ones, the priceless, pure and precious ones
Fed with good faith to fawning fiends
Robed and collared monsters with a shepherd's hook
Meant to stoke their rapacious hunger for the innocent
Behind a smile, a good deed, and a cross ...
Pray, who IS ... your God?

Dark black ominous clouds move slowly across the mortal sphere.
A promising downpour threatens the unrest souls.
Thunderous voices of indigenous cultural split the mortal sphere.
This brooding storm, created from fallacies that suffocated the truth.
Forceful winds of propaganda demoralize the virtuous.
Fierce lightning reveals the shamelessness of the dark heart.
What seems to matter will matter no more, once the crimson rain falls
and swell the rivers and seas and stain the shores.
Soon will be done the troubles of this world.

ACTS OF KINDNESS
In diamonds, we look for the three C's
cut, carat and clarity, we consider
In kindness, we avoid the three C's
criticism, comparison and complaint, we defer
What the world currently needs
is its peoples good deeds.
Look around and you see madness;
in forms of selfishness, shamelessness,
boastfullness, rudeness and meanness.
Greed, self-satisfaction and self-gratification abound;
however, we can also see goodness is still around.
We can all contribute to mankind
by giving and being so kind.
Although, we have an idea that giving is always financial
and costly to be beneficial.
Giving kindness is natural and simple,
as it comes from our heart; it's that simple.
Remember the three C's to avoid, as you do the acts of kindness
for avoiding them will open your heart and your senses.
Hold back to criticize and begin to empathize
for you are not perfect and no one is perfect.
In totality, we are all imperfect.
Stop comparing and start accepting,
for no two people are the same and alike.
Even identical twins are not a hundred percent the same or alike.
Accept what you cannot change,
for you cannot change a person unless that person would change.
Refrain from complaining and begin listening.
Open your heart and try understanding,
what works for you, may not work for someone else
or you have not gone through, what someone has gone through.
Smile and compliment, as these are good
gestures that would make someone feel good.
Give what you do not need,
that others can use or may need.
Reach out and touch someone,
a phone call or a note can lift up someone.
Think of other possibilities you can contribute to mankind.
Let your imagination roam to be more kind.
THIS THANKSGIVING IS HARD ON EVERYBODY WITH THE SOARING PANDEMIC. WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW IS KINDNESS. OPEN YOUR HEART AND REACH OUT. HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
I AM SHARING THIS POEM, ONE OF THE POEMS IN MY PUBLISHED BOOK.

In the dark
Beyond the reach of light
When the day is clothed in black cover
And color, height and size exit the stage
When all, without exception is levered
By the highest commonest decimal of nudity
Devoid of illusion of furs and feathers
Tempting the eyes of shamefulness and shamelessness
In dead dark night nakedness
We return to beings called human
United with the effervescent rhythms of nature
A turn, and back behind the beginning, we are
Turning the time to timeless Eden
Stripped of all trappings and wrappings
Of façade and fallacy of fashion;
Vile fame and vain fortune
Base beauty of clothed eyes
We become knotted with the elements
Stark naked as we once were
When nude culture was the couture
In the stark dark night
We stand naked and true
Naked; pristine, pure and proud

MORALITY DIVIDED
Morality, where art, thou?
Good morals, down they go.
Greed, abuse of power, selfishness,
grandiosity, materialism, shamelessness,
all abound and promoted by reality shows.
Goodness is still around, as some show
their virtues, like acts of kindness, empathy.
Let us be united to bring back or show morality.

Don’t be afraid to say sorry
Don’t be scared to cry loud the tears of apology
No boat can sail the ocean of offence except sorry
No ticket is valid to access the broken heart either
Sorry is the master key to open all the doors
Even the pillar of love has no strength without sorry
Sorry is the song of conciliation to unite again
Happiness is just an illusion without sorry
No tears worth to be shed if meant no sorry
Even sad face means nothing, if sorry isn’t written on it
Say sorry to calm down the weeping soul
I love you is incomplete to win back the lost trust
And kiss is not sweet enough without sorry
Sweethearts and honey are useless names
Promises are so empty if not feeling sorry
No matter how red the roses are
Violets can be perfectly blue to make a healthy flower
Taking her out is also a complete waste of time
No matter how expensive the gifts can cost
All are just fakes without sorry
A thousand times you can say it
A million times you can name it
But that is no higher than meaning it just once
Sorry brings back hopes that were fallen apart
No house is entitled to stand without sorry
The wind blows away the helmets of those who shows no remorse
Those who go ignorant and ashamed to let sorry plays with their tongues
Quarrels and arguments take their turn to pride themselves
But sorry define all their weaknesses and expose their shamelessness
Sorry doesn’t mean that you are guilty thus it shows the bolder you
However it have the tendency to impose how foolish you are
Arrogant think that sorry is the song to sing by fools
But foolish are those who deny pronouncing the meaning of it
It takes sorry to settle with the scores that seems too difficult to achieve
Great Lions of the jungle can roar and dangerous snakes can lift their heads high
But it is consistently takes a wise word to calm them down no matter how dangerous it might
The power of love is intimacy
The feeling of sympathy is humility
The sign of achievement is victory
But the highest of them all is sorry
It conquers amongst the rest and turn the worst to be the best
Live the life humble and never be ashamed to be sorry

How madly in love,
The moon and the cross were
But it made everyone cross
And they were declared mad.
What a taboo
Everyone said,
So the moon lost her shine,
And retreated into the clouds.
How restrictive
This love thing can be.
Decades apart
Come together in love,
Age, after all, is just a number
But they dare not let it known.
What shamelessness,
They would say.
So they held a funeral
For the feelings they had to kill.
How complicated,
This love thing can be.
She loved him
Love like worship,
Through ease and hardship.
How she believed he loved her…
But he broke her heart,
Without thought or shame,
So she patched up the pieces,
And guarded it with a wall.
How Wicked;
This love thing can be.
