In silent drumbeats of depression
throbs a fractal life of no "visualization".
dandelions fluffing in howling winds
fight with Halloween "hallucinations".
behind the dusk of a sealed doorway lies
a vast empty space of no sun-showers...
I need a spaceship
to take me to a place I have never been
many lightyears away to another planet.
Where timeline untangles and "dream" floats
treading "whimsy" paths by moonlight.
Where crystalline castles of "imagination"
build chimeras over craterous depths.
Where a wandering soul can escape
into "reverie" flights of a wishful heart.
Where in pure beauty of the still night
dazzles a chest of rubies in onyx eyes.
Coding messages in long forgotten songs
through rows of roses, Will I get my Mozart?
In foams of a sea, only sorrow and suffering,
Will my status quo change to a happy ending?

She snaps like a brine tendon,
spilling embryo chords across the basalt shelf.
Tongues of nacre split her sides,
each vertebra strung with gravid silence.
Kelp-blind, she threads the continental rift,
her fingernails seeded with unfinished continents.
Magma foams in the pouch of her pelvis,
grinding up vowels like crushed coral.

Thought streams manifesting dreams :
Daydreams illusive :
Dreams of ambition yearning for fulfilment !
Dreams of subconscious mind
rolling in unfamiliar zone
and even nightmare to scare .
Dreams within dreams stream flowing
on foams of creamy passion in fervent fervour
may touch desired goal or just evaporate.
Yet we can't help to survive drinking dreamy desires.
So many dreams within dreams rippling,
propagating dancing in ebb and tide,
sometimes shameful, need to hide !
sometimes sweet, soothing inspiring ,
again some may push you to abyss of Despondency.
Yet Desirable dreams are dreams of ambition
based on idealism
formulated by truth, honesty, devotion
along with righteousness.
Dream dreams of positivity till last breathe.

I am flowered in the shade of bird wings
neath patch of deep sadness absent of clouds
beholden to loosen memories mist filtered
cell charged energies their liberal release
bars that separate the spirited guardians
of fortitude held till dawn gilded rays shone
on the levy's shoreline thrashing waves
tethering the oceanic breezes crowning the
curling tops of surf swirling foams that
champion a sandy blackened shorelines
surging and receding in merciful coiling
of rejuvenating wetness where beached
life shoots to recapture folds of a fragile
domain as the briny seawater air loops
loosely stretch o'er the isles beckoning
the suds of waves and coconut thuds fall.

Laughter bubbles up from deep within
it foams, gurgles, exudes joy, and spreads
until it bursts forth
and erupts into a jubilant noise
that startles me as it takes on a life of it’s own
and spreads cheer to all who hear

Sea clouds and sea foams
Quite, calm, requiem in nature
White, precarious roams.

I am a wave.
From far I come to you
Swimming with desire.
In wild curls I come,
Riding with music,
Travelling on sunbeams.
Within my hidden folds,
I carry the thoughts of love,
Wishing to rest on the shore.
Lashing playfully, I come,
Looping into a sensational hug!
But how sad, I can only embrace you
Just for a brief moment!
Over our heads, seagulls wing.
Around us, soapy foams giggle.
In wild ecstasy, I roar,
Crashing my head on your breast.
But I am made to drift away,
Leaving nothing behind,
But a stretch of dampened sand,
Reminding that we have once met.
Can I ever hold you again?
Wish I could once more,
Rush into your arms.
Sometimes I feel,
I am on an eternal journey.
With desires unappeased,
I continue traveling miles.
Let us be a pair of seagulls,
Flying in tandem, you forever,
Staying close to me,
With your wind under my wings!

Blackish, brownish, and greyish clouds on zenith call,
The white lambs like the ones below, unheeding, crawl;
The immaculate white egrets in elation,
Mock the grey herons, in calm Zen meditation;
Kow-kow of cuckoos and the coo-ee of koels,
Sound and resound in the idyllic nature strolls...!
A sense of sadness, yet, surrounds my whole being,
A bit of depression evokes a forced fleeing;
Memories fly beyond realms of nostalgia,
And soon turn into terrible cephalalgia;
Your flight beyond the skies toward spaces unknown,
Comes to stay in the nimbus of my mind, forlorn...!
Those plants and flowers; butterflies and honeybees,
Those streams and rocks and mossy slippery tall trees;
Those frogs and fish and clams and mussels and wrasses,
Those fine foams collected around like molasses;
All these bring to my mind those golden days bygone,
Come back, if you can, dear, that I may find new dawn...!!!

I am about to make a request
You might sooner turn down than test,
For all its promise of conquest
Of the hard men, who us detest
And of our doomed end turned a quest:
To start laughing with them the Best,
Their stinking foams for our glad rest,
Our way worming into each breast,
In farms helping them to fight pest,
From grabbing hands property wrest
Each one of them: Most Honored Guest
To be accordingly addressed...
You mark by words like on-shirt crest:
Watchers shall us praise from East and West

As I wend my way around curving roads
up high into the mountains
I finally arrive at the Eight Gables Inn.
I wonder what it is that drives me here!
Perhaps I have developed wings
and flew across the Atlantic towards
The Great Smoky Mountains
on my adventurous ride
to the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Tired I hope the Inn
will live up to its reputation.
The sun is setting as I view
the purple orange skies darken,
whilst here and there lights
in desolate cottages twinkle in the dark.
I hasten to my private bath
and slowly sink in the warm water,
overpowered by the smell of soapy foams.
Pleased with my silky skin
I put on a plush bathrobe
luxuriously enjoying the feel
of the soft fabric against my spores,
and with a graceful dive find myself
on top of a feather-top bed.
This is the life of luxury...
Until I feel the taste of blotting paper
that cover my whole mouth.
I open my eyes and know
it was all a dream, alas.

The rain halted, but the breeze didn't cool.
Fiery sunny colors dwindle in the heat.
Cubes of sugar didn't dissolve.
Unappetizing or overgrown tea
It lacks both charm and stillness.
In that, you stated you'd stand back
Breath is a wave-spelling foam.
An array of fresh guides at a helm
Steamy urges lacking restraint
Colleen warbles a soothing tune.
Watery waves in the hair
Slanting eyes like the lustrous sun
A hug will place a froth in the veins.
A blessing from above.
If you omitted my thoughts on you.
Chimes of snow rang out in unison.
Please recognize my yesteryear.
Blazed a flame of regal blue.
When tomorrows are made of foam.
Staring up into the darkness of the sky.
Loose in waves of the cosmic ocean.
Fizzing, with the onset of quantum foams.
Sending dark energy to faraway galaxies.
Where does zero matter but odyssey?
And are in awe about never grace.
To shrink the size of the cosmos.
to within the reach of my palms.

A new dawn is coming
When no one will be running
It's boldly written all over
Our pains will soon be over
It's a preseason of restoration
Soon we shall be bestowed with decoration
For the services we render in this war
Against those who make us useless with metaphor
A new dawn is coming
When the youths won't think of running
Across foams for greener pastures
The newbirth is an end to insignificant departures
A new dawn is coming
When Nigeria will come out shinning
Cos the captured stains on our flag
Shall be bleached out to wash off bad tag
It's a preseason of restoration
And there's an unbelievable collaboration
To ensure a reposition of our flag
With promises to boost our ag.
Happy Independence Day (Nigeria)

Broke my running shoes,
Ruined my day to be honest,
Now I gotta go down to the shoe store and listen to some cretin tell me what shoes I should be wearing,
As I arrived, a young man approached me and immediately starts dribbling on about the weight of each shoe,
"Midsole foams on this Nike now make a plush ride possible without adding much heft to the shoe" he says with excitement in his eyes,
"Just give me something that fits my foot and take my money" I think to myself as I nod politely,
I ended up leaving with three new pairs of sneakers,
Cost me $600

I do feel that Mr Trump's been changed
I'm most aware..of a different range
Of vaccine speed in the weft and warp'
Billions talking in from the scoros corp
A human queen he finds so amazing
I kid myself not, that he's even hazing.?
I saw some UK pundits view; they say.'
He's changed.. and they're not kidding hey!
Is this just a narrative of more confusion
Will America charge into dissolution?
A sucker punch soon to deck the world.?
Hold on tight, the tide now foams and swirls.'

I admire passing clouds
Myriad rocks below,
grey landscape touched...
Above all space, target flakes
all above...
Water, colors all around
move to the shore...
Balance of the blue
the green and the white
in foams in the sun...
Everything is recovered after
apparent loss... everything
matters in nature...
Even we matter
because every day we happen
while everything happens
in rare beauty...!
