Velvety VelourTwinkling stars confetti the night,
creating a magical sight;
as a molten moon starts to glow
against the black backdrop of space.
Held in night's ebony embrace
Luna's light gilds the clouds below;
and observed by the naked eye,
shooting stars unzip the night sky.
While spinning perceptively slow
the Milky Way seems surreal;
a...

Hippocampus Saddled In DaydreamsHIPPOCAMPUS SADDLED IN DAYDREAMS
Hippocampus saddled in the vast sea, one of God’s superimposed dreams.
In miniature form these seahorses be, an aquatic burst of genius it seems.
Hippocampus in old Flossie form, spotted from the Scottish shores.
A frightful nightmare, not the norm, thus shiver in my corporeal...

The Edge Of NightPicture, if you will, two orbs of light
superimposed on ebony space.
Both lie at the darkest edge of night,
where dreams and reality embrace.
Sharing shades of a violet hue,
they adorn the night's starry array.
And as more colors come into view,
they seamlessly brush darkness away.
Similarly, they flaunt paradise,
offering...

The Far ViewTHE FAR VIEW
Of this quaint mountain village sparks a longing strain lay dormant these many years. Was it some childhood visit, one too early to recall, or existence in another life? The two, to my searching soul, ever...

DepressionI suppose you've been wondering
Why your eyes don't smile anymore.
Why your once radiant optimism
has drowned in concrete mud.
Why the future, even tomorrow,
suddenly tastes so bitter
on your palate.
Why the rainbow is frowning
at you; all the colors,
besmirched.
Why your view of the horizon
and your mind...

We Are No MoreBy Vicki Acquah on Thursday, April 18, 2013
Prince Kennedy & Oladeji Vicki Acquah
Disappeared
We- are gone
diluted into oblivion
we have nothing left but our footprints
The handwriting is no longer on the wall
The noses are broken off
we are no longer us
Obscurely written out of
life's script, no...

ResistanceIt's a term coined
for the times
propelled by actions
ceremoniously indulged
whimsically by the populace.
It's growing daily,
masses in tune
bubbling to surface
rife with rebellion.
Senseless conventions
imposed by the machine,
discrepancies enlightened
with blinding rays
of rationality
superimposed upon circumstances.
Keeping up the fight
against all odds
baffling to mindfulness
as they scramble to react
to tides of mistrust....

Just Another DayDrifting through the millennium
to a world
of surprises and delight
You think about
what the future beholds
beyond the remedial
circumstances driven by
perseverance, thoughts
scholastically superimposed
upon realities drudgery
when you understand
it's all whimsy
upheld by rules, laws
etched into meanderings
circulating the realm
beyond your wildest imagination
you drift through
turmoils of preponderance
into a life
of no regrets
or misunderstandings
just...

A Beast of ChiralityI blink my eyes and then the world is gone.
Open once again to see some peons upon the lawn.
They came to hear the Lion yawn and swipe a wife by dawn.
That's why I keep my pride and believe,
to conceive that it's respite is my...

Dramatic Verse
A Teacher Above All ElseA clear view of the Arabian blue
I don’t ‘inch’ closer, I ‘mile’ ahead
In a relaxed cockpit, shared by two.
A proud teacher, my knowledge I spread
‘To fly they must have flown before’
Break this infinite loop; I choose instead
Let them learn, I don’t keep score.
Even...

The Two FacesEvery man holds two faces, yes two faces
That his persona always carries and displays
The outer one, a facade that is very artificial
The inner represents the original and normal.
The physical is superimposed on the natural
That alternates with circumstances congenial
The real always conceals behind the artificial
And presents...

IntrospectionI look within my bag, and baggage more unquenched desires.
N erve wrecking mental state, thus illogically surmounts.
T he wisdom of sages to simplify life ends in absurd futility.
R ather than emptying my burden, I trudge along heavier.
O ptimistic spirits flag at half mast with...
