Trying to Give Her a Hint

...What do think of Gay Pheasant, the Lord, she asked me.
Meg had apparently invited him to her afternoon tea.
He is a bit persnickety and prissy I said to my cousin.
Meg is always being sought by su...

Would Love Breathe Forever?

...Sometimes, when 
your sparkling spirit 
waltzes with me 
to the perfumed 
periwinkle grooves 
of saffron breezes, 
I'm lost in a forever gaze, 
within those 
flickering ferns

The Gypsy

...There was a homeless lady,
one afternoon, outside the hospital.
Was she homeless? I don’t know.
She had a ladened shopping cart,

Both Sides of Love

...I stare at your mythic eyes
That bear black onyx in disguise
And the long brocades you wear
That are just as mesmerizing as your hair

And your clear soft skin
Pigments perfectly mixed
Makes m...

The Babe

...The Babe
A babe with golden eyes,
              dirty knotted hair,
                              with hunger for a belly,

Blue Stone

...Blue Stone

Sagittarius piano fingers waltzing splendidly upon my laptop.
I can hear your nervous ticking heart clapping and tapping—
Collapsing there— as the meat philosophers send their brocade...

Various wild vines do not concede defeat,
They cling and climb to the top to compete.

no silver lining accolades
Diligence, her saving grace
dreams and faith interlaced

She would know the deepest loss
become the one to fight the cause
Sheltering ...

No More Did the King

...The king was incandescent,
In the brocades and creped damasks,
His knights and his attendants 
All surrounded his gilt throne.

A multitude was gathered,
For the seasonal oration,
Warming sons...

Irony

...IRONY

My joy that I wasn't born a Nigerian
Is that my parents are Yorubas
I would have been limited to Naira

Mo láyò pé omo alápatà sá lèmi...

The Islands of Imagination

...THE   ISLANDS   OF   IMAGINATION
