"The clouds spill a thousand secrets"
in transitional transient forms
Your touch is like the spongy clouds
blessing me bountifully with brazen benevolence
"Melt my tears into your sweet fire"
for I'm daringly, defiantly "love-drunk on desire"
You can even "seduce the stars without a script..."
Who am I to escape your emerald eyes?
Like a moth drawn to the incandescent candle
I faithfully flutter around your fervent fulgence
You are my amber ambrosia
enveloping me with your amorous aroma
I dance dreamily in dandelion stardust
for you are my dearest, dashing, daring darling
We'll learn life's lavender lessons in tandem
Our souls are intricately interlaced and intertwined
Ruby passion sizzles...
when our hearts are in hazel harmony
Our mutual understanding is unfortunately understated
If you're the sea, I'm the sand
lapping your lapis lazuli waves with my love
We're crocheted cohesively for forevermore
our affection for the endless eternity
our adoration and admiration will never die
We possess an inseparable intimacy
immeasurable immortal imprints
impressed upon this universe
~ Hyacinth hearts held together even in heaven ~
We have written a script
Which can't be erased,
It will continually grow
Into an ocean of love;
Laying on my bed,
Seeing all the pleasurable
Scenes,
I am cohesively joined
In thine love;
Love grows not in
The absence of two,
But in the presence
Of two;
We breathed each other's
Air in the universe of
Blissful, pleasurable love
Together we love,
Longing for each
Other's Presence.

Seriously…
Frequently verse free of rhyme and meter
Articulates mental images upon a page.
A poetic expression from the heart
Unified by tangential emotions,
Thoughts openly, freely uttered…
A progression of complexities
The essence of a poet’s soul opened.
His fundamental nature shared, fully.
Presented for perception.
Unified, cohesively fused.
Offered from one mind to another.
Virtuously given without expectations.
Beautiful boundless poetry, besieging.
Free from the confinements of rules.
The soul, alive; multifaceted and elegant
Tacitly living; shared openly.
Enthusiastically scrolled upon the page.
Silently.
Deeply rooted
in the earth,
ancestral ground of nature.
Seeds pregnant with life
burst, veins disperse.
Small vines clothe towering tree,
offspring seek refuge.
Daisies dazzle in the daylight,
Like trees strive toward the sun,
reaching for the sky with arm like branches.
Unique plant ethnicities,
identical pursuits.
A fiery Cardinal perched.
Beneath, Squirrels gather
nourishing tree offerings.
Working cohesively in harmony,
utopian democracy.
Yet overlooked.
Living history.
Products of the dirt,
Fed by the sun and rain.
Reaching for the stars.
Just like us.
-Stephen Kofi Opare Obeng
In slender tendrils,
Light drifts in, however small
An illusion of hope.
Grooves of lead spiral
Cohesively they gather
Into something more
What gaping hole demands me,
My time at the hands of
A nefarious villain, ignorant,
To his identity
Believing, with such might of
His benevolence, yet
Those diminished of his vindictive
Prowess, lost, forgotten,
Such as the natural beauty
Struck by greed, shaken to
Barren lands, industrious,
He claims, his coercive tongue
Persuades even me, yet
I obey
Silently
I walk
...
Whistling, the winds enchant me
Death, permeates.
I had arrived, my musings
Unable to comfort me
As I stand at the forefront of
The pit, Falling off infinitely
For those who had succumbed to
Greed
My signature brings
Another man, to his death
He is none the wiser
