Lay Down Your Soul On MeIt meets my eyes, a vacant stare.
In nakedness, it seems so bare.
What more of life is there to write?
Sunsets, dawn or the lovers' plight?
Plethora of words prance and tease,
seduce my heart, but give no ease,
instead run wild, like weeds untamed-
they have no form, no home or name.
Blank...

MEDIATIONA couple of days ago
I had an encounter
It was very educational
Many lives in illusion
They're very delusional
If you're not aware
You'll fall in their well
Then You start living in a warfare.
They believe in illusion
Which is void
Thinking it's reality
No wonder
Christ was crucified
The truth is really bitter
They all like sugar...

Once upon perdition :now a dedication:This POTD is dedicated to Di11y Da11y
who spoke the truth and paid the price!
to the unheard poet
you weren’t driven away
you moved beyond them

Once upon perdition
The apostate looked out his window,
and started to believe
As genuflecting pylons
sent ramifications through the trees
Chaos questioned reason,
hoping for a guilty plea
but the world was too...

Those we love
When singing praise to the Lord above,
that our feeling take flight like a white dove.
The joyful songs melts away all anger and fear.
That one can't help not to drop a tear.
Yet in the end the believers find comfort,where there's love.

WEIRD LADYShe's so wise and courageous
She's so contagious
She's not everyone's type
She's good and bad
Depends on how you ride
Stay on the tide
She takes no bribe, even if you're her tribe.
She's a God sent
With nice cents
Like she burns insects
She wears unisex
Never urge for sex
She's offset
Don't upset her.
She conscious
She never reap
Where she...

GHANAIAN GIRLI told her I'm a stranger
A souvenir
She thought I am from Ghana
Because I'm black like Ghanaians
She concurred
While listening to my accent
She confirmed I'm a Nigerian.
She said she can't
Wait to have me
Saying I'm one of a kind
I'm always on her mind
She called me the law of attraction
Because like a...

GUIDELINESUnity brings all together
Humility keeps them forever
Humiliation sets them apart
Prosperity makes all bright
Possibilities they all ride or strive for.
No discipline
No results or success
Steady insults
Brings you regrets
If you wanna know
Please always ask questions
Not living with assumptions.
Every habit
Is a consumption
Consuming your time or money
Giving memories
When...

Beneath Bruised SkiesBeneath Bruised Skies
The wind, a ghost with an unseen hand,
Whips grit and dust across the Oklahoma land.
It carries the smell of ozone, sharp and cold,
A story whispered, ancient, bold.
You feel its tug, a constant plea,
A playful push, then suddenly,
A heavy cloak of pressure drops,
As every buzzing insect stops.
The sky turns bruised, a sickly green,
A painted...

Summer ElegyWould you mind if I won’t talk
About what to do
Better sit, relax or walk
Silently subdue
To the sweetness of the day
With the promised rain
That forgot to fall today
Though the sky was grey
The roadworks spread happy noise
The smell lingers far
Tips me gently there’s no choice
I can’t book a car
Get the plane and swiftly fly
That familiar route
Just...

A Poetic AppetiteThis is hunger.
This is the way my stomach
turns itself inside out
when I hear a phrase
that makes my spine
straighten like a lightning rod.
I devour adversity
consume the cadence of chaos,
swallow their imagery whole
As my hunger for poetic
expression begins to grow
but it's never enough.
Never enough..
Because somewhere in the space
between what I want to say
and what spills onto...

Fleeting FriendsGrown apart
we became after
a long while,
Remember those days?
Daily talks upon hours,
endless laughter,
countless stories,
shared struggles,
emotional break-
throughs,
as we both sit next
to each other in
silence.
I always remember
my best buddy,
the one who saw
me when others
left without looking
twice and held my
hand with genuine
love.
A rare gem, one of its kind
The time continues to
pass us on,
memories...

Blood ,Sweat and Tears
Blood, sweat and tears
All in the name of eliminating my fears
Blood, sweat and tears
Just to find myself inside a Mercedes, getting an ego boost when I shift gears
Blood, sweat and tears
Creating a steel Armour in the form of riches
Ensuring the arrows of poverty don't pierce
It will be blood, sweat and tears till when?
My pains have...

Your Hand in MineUnder the cherry blossoms, we stand,
Your hand in mine, soft as the sand.
The world is loud, yet here it’s still,
Our hearts in tune, our spirits thrill.
We giggle softly, sharing a look,
Like secret pages in a book.
Your laugh, a melody so sweet,
It makes my heart skip every beat.
The way you smile, the way time flies,
I see...
