Best Unachieved Poems

Two children lost in the wood and snow,
 huddled by a small but tended fire,
 clinging together for warmth and safety,
That was the story of our lives.

Imbedded in the old and tattered photo,
 lay the hidden reality of childhood
 and children sustaining one another
Through years...

Old Dreams

In the evening when the moonlight;
Gently falls on land and sea.
Old dreams come like wolves at midnight;
Come to howl and torment me.

Dreams of youth their glory ended;
Fall behind sweet sorrow's vale
Dreams of love by sorrow riven,
Like the desert winds do wail.

Dreams are foolish, so...

Here without you 
Paints me a realization that life isn't easy
It displaces the settling railroad
Taken away by the midnight train's calamity 

Waiting impatiently 
to face some inspiration given by God
Over the driver and I 

By the way you shrivel up in anger, 
I'm not ready to cross through the trampled street
Trampling...

Restless
 how slowly life seems to flow
in youth, ever in a hurry and on the go,
 rushing toward the coming of age
living quick and fast on a passing stage
 finding out nothing truly lasts;
suddenly the sojourner is cast
 looking here, looking there
 only to find...

This Side of the Mirror 

I feel lost within the mirror’s eyes
Those charming narcissistic pools
As vast and blue as endless skies
Glittering like two polished jewels

As I look deep within those gems 
I recollect such secret woes
Held trapped inside my lover’s skin
Is such a torture none...

The song of my love is heard
It travels over Seas and mountains 
Bearing cadences that make the fishes dance
It frolics over hills and oceans 
With rhythms that adorn the eyes of the sun 
Sniffing the scented air that enflames the smouldering harmattan ash
Dancing with the...

Uniformly swings
the hypocrite
as though on a pendulum,
to and fro,
the string of foul aim
transporting him.
With every swing
ever so timely,
a breadth of chaos unleashed.
The intent periodically he seeks -
the equilibrium unachieved. 
For experiments his fate,
as body and heart wholly 
of stone go
to and fro,
to and fro,
casting a...

I remove my glasses to blur my view, 
of my disgraceful face, that’s painted a strange hue.
Reality peers back at me, from the bottomless
shallow mirror, 

My self peers back at me, 
with disbelief, regret and horror.

I remove my glasses so that I cannot see, 
that...

When I grieve at grievances foregone
And sing to myself my melancholy song.
The hurt, miseries and sorrows suffered
The pangs of pain and agony doubled.

The long lost childhood that was so bare;
With nothing to recall recollect or share.
My tears my sole companion have been
From early days till...

Though years slip by through time
  if you live long enough and rewind;
  you get to see that history
  is ever a  repetitive cyclic mystery.

Refugees and immigrants raped
  always seeking some escape
  when faith, land, house and home

I love the night from dusk 'til dawn, 
It's the only time to carry on 
with thoughts and dreams still unachieved, 
my whole life plan at night conceived. 

No light's distractions, no buzz of sound, 
my conscious clears while ideas abound. 
Sleep does not come...

SOBER REFLECTION


As  I was considering human actions,
My mindset was geared towards repecaution,
Replacing the position of gladness with saddened motions,
I once asked father ''what was the cause of human situation''
He said '' son its because of man's imprudent reflection'',
About to ask another question,
But he said...

I have a long list
A list that should lead to a wedding feast
I’ve search in lands so arid
In a bid to get married
I’ve met so many
So vain and so dandy
They all thought they were charming
With funny names such as
Hotas
Vochas
Jokas
And Jackass
What an interesting journey so far!
I...
