Meet me at the crossroads of my life.
Underneath the streetlamp, I will be waiting
expecting you to whisk me away,
shivering in the drizzle of coolness
truly trusting you'll truncate my trauma.

Meet me at the crossroads of...

In arcade of rigorousness
that brought the use of scrupulousness
walking in the valley of rectitudeness
with a pure mind of purity

to a steadfast adherence of walking uprightness
showing the way to an unfailing trustworthiness
in the great mind of Chastity

Happy 83rd birthday to thy cremated mom

Harriet Harris fought tooth and nail
Mother succumbed 
to terminal illness without fail 
Ovarian/ Uterine Cancer to no avail
hosted by death feasted fancy 
at Oyster Bay metastasized inducing this male
the sol son to grapple as psyche didst...

Vivid sketches,
a parade
of resemblances,
canvas afloat
before my eyes:
expressionist
impressionist
abstractions
locked forever
in time:
the familiar,
the muddled or
befuddled
inventive
imaginings
before me file,
to stay awhile
and truncate my day:
I contemplate
and marvel
the many things
to me they say...

Severed starlight, brief lanterns

Truncate tingles, sugar burns

pen puzzling in oily ink

Dark dots on papyrus slink

Metre measure on tongue tip

Riddling rhymes gaining their grip

Cursive verses in past tense

Trying a new form tonight. Hope you enjoy...

I fear for Nigeria my country
I fear for the giant of Africa
I fear for God’s Master piece
I fear for a country that is always
Trapped in the web of its convoluted misery 
I fear for a country perpetually 
Enmeshed in trial and error
Instead of pragmatic leadership...

elephant tusks
harvested for ivory towers
truncate the wisdom of time

blizzards hail snow flakes
weather a storm or two
before they melt into memories

Babylon refutes Jericho
an eye for an eye
that money can’t buy

Rosetta’s stone 
gives a clue to incomprehension
and sometimes the monolith
takes on new meaning
when frosty crystals meet
eternity in...

Embracing Poetry

Freedom on the lam where the poet sings
To hearts imprisoned against their will;
Inspires the bereaved mind to spring to life
And uplift hearts bloom burst liberated
When pain of incarceration ceases.
‘Gloria excelsis deo’ in the world.

Frolic away poet and tell the world
Encouraging bosoms to join in...

       the unfamiliar sound rolls on and on
       a sack of words
       vultured to bloody shreds
       food for the entropic...

Lamenting Life Lost Before...
Last Rays Of Flickr Ring Candlelight

Approximately a dozen
orbitz around the Earth
(since mcmlix), the year
of my birth, an aversion
(stayin alive) constricted self worth

gripped (strong as strangling
choke hold), where 
even to this day 
(January 25th, 2019)
lx anniversaries marking birth

emotions of ambivalence directed at me,

Look around and see
How men hustle to taste the hustle of bee
Jumping from one hive without key
To another is a stress with no fee
Depression replaces momentary glee

Look around and see
To see, remove the blocking seals
After relishing lucrative deals
Bosses bus public meals
To nurse their wards till...

Clawing at the doors

Windowless shops barrage

Their straight images on printed faces

 

Bedsheets of yesterday grope

Seamless skin wondering

About moods and ruminations

 

Clouds unravel before they start

As thin toast barely starts the morning

The urge to shift settles groundwise

 

While gypsy radio pulses truncate

Asking for your improvement

And glide...

"FAKE" assertions unstoppably
bandied with beef,
(sans doughty deeds done dirt cheap)
courtesy of commander in chief
trumpeted as a way to backout,

embarrassment analogous to the thief
of Baghdad, when culpable faux pas
woe philly pops thought balloon of mine
reckons with transparent "good grief"
within mind of yours truly,

who finds himself dumbstruck
aghast,...

Whilst I remain hopeful and confident
There are doubts in my veins
Eating up my blood and causing pains
With absolutely no room to frail
I always formulate and jubilate but to no avail
Because this fear marinate my genes and sips down my ribs, making my jean sags

I want...
