As I left the door ajar,
as I stood under the stars,
as I stared at the moon afar,
As I glance at my foot, riddled with scars.
I asked the moon to listen as I gloomed.
As I spread my hands wide,
As I welcomed the rain with stride,
As I let my feet slide,
As I danced with my hair tied.
I asked the rain to listen as I plumed.
As I hugged the stem,
As the wind touches my dress's hem,
As the leaf kissed my anadem,
As my eyes glittered like gems.
I asked the tree to listen as I bloomed.

#Repetition_of_irremediable_calamity
Stare the dark gloomed space of shooting casanovas, blurred with shades of karma, coated with deja vu, I was here the mind says, my hands mired with more dirt, contaminating my hard work and effort to never to pass through this hind streets of lingering pain and regrets, a rotational oozing of ghostlike tormenting shadows of my yesterday, and feel pacing in slow motion in this circles of no exits, no matter the effort pores punches all over my hope, feel drowning, suffocating and my soul ebbing, dilating in volumes I can't contain any further
My calamity takes everything out of me, regret there be nothing to identify me with, after it's taking, invisible blows shatters me from every direction, how can I not give in when I too was made from the very dust of this earth, a human like the rest
Here I'm tested to never rise again or to man up and prove the naysayers and those who have written me off even before my birth, spirit lead my me to faith without borders, pass me a riffle to eleminate every doubt before me, face up, faith on, and irremediable is just a word in my calamity

She opened her eyes again
Hoping to see it sane
Well, it was anything but that
She gloomed as it's scarring words spat
Every time, she choked to speak
Not this time as she wanted to wreak
The creature was aghast
Oh! It wailed and wailed and wailed as she gasped
She choked her voice forever
As she drowned in her guilt further
Oh, the creature scarred and scarred her more with the voice she lost
But she bloomed flowers with the scars she got

It was dark,
We were six,
The air was filled with the heavy smell of cigarettes and weed,
Some drank, 'I' did too.
You were dancing to the rhythms of jazz.
And you were gazing at the stars.
While you stared into your phone screen.
She and him talked.
And you... You were silent.
Maybe thinking
"What was the conversation?"
"What was that noise?"
"What transpired?"
And then she spoke words devoid of meanings,
Words that were abused till it bled,
Words that were round,
Words that were opaque,
Words that actually never left her mouth.
The smiling faces soon disappeared,
Confused and gloomed,
They left.
But he stayed.
What did 'I' feel?
Like,
The slithers of snake,
Shaking of the earth,
Torrent of rain,
Choked.
And then 'I' forgot.
Till today.

Let me be longing for the touch
I've never felt
Or the love I've never had..
Let the cities be doomed
Or the minds be gloomed.
Can I care less?
Oh my love...
As our union is the purest,
dancing on the pyre of myths.
And for you and I, I seek nothing else!!

If only you knew what you are,
You will hung your shoulders atop
The skies, and
Suspend your head in the heavens.
I will tell you,
For an umpteenth time, and
With right honors, Madam,
You are formidable, like
The fleet arrayed in the blue line.
You are rare, like
The jewels of Chappal Waddi.
You are the sweet chill of dusk,
When the heat of the harmattan
Silenced on the mundane;
It swift in a gentle whirl,
Into my nerve, and
Stir the fevers clogging in my vains.
You may wish to know, or not;
You as with Anyawu, the sun
Will not cast to the reverse,
Your winks of scorches, certainly not
For a thousand prays, curses, and best wishes;
Wherever it willed,
It shined perfect, or
Gloomed in a lengthy slumber.

When the repellant acid rain came,
the silica image gloomed darkly
into sobbing disintegration
Embers of flickering hope
smouldered deep in the heart of despair
Passion dying to be re-ignited,
only sparked
a saline immolated tearful incineration
Distance was a skeleton key,
overcoming temporal relativity
was a spatial mistake
Stretch marks of lost time ...
candles snuffed
on the anniversary cake
Emotional composure
had an elasticity expiration due date
Hardening of the arteries —
love can’t flow in a vacuum
Premature, incubated promises
won’t grow in a dark room
Umbilical desires
got an ultrasound hole cut in the chest
Covers unturned ...
pillow sighs smothered a feeble breath
Bosom reasons for embracing neglect
is a mirage yearning
Borrowed time is an unrequited debt,
paid by the spurning
When the Venus rains came,
the mirror image burned brightly ...
then disappeared, ever so slowly
Death of an icy love affair,
dissolved
in glacial, decomposed fashion —
As misty, crypt wails
ascend in the deserted air

It gloomed in the room
Just when my thoughts bloomed
I felt a blowing air
In seemed so near
I was ready to err
But it was not fair
It was so great
But not as my grade
Then i smile
Seen from a mile
Though it was mild
But not be wild

I've waited for so long
Have counted the days,
Numbered the nights
to gaze at you
Those sleepless moments
I won't forget.
If only I could dictate
the time to take a faster pace
That immense wonder you possess
are stored in my thoughts.
I dreamt of you,
I kept thinking
I never stopped
And finally the moment arrived
for me to witness your grace
But the night sky gloomed
and the rain poured and poured and poured.
I begged for it to stop,
please stop,
But it never did
Only rendering my heart to silently bleed.
I never saw you,
not even a glimpse
And now the waiting is over
Leaving my sullen soul to brood.

"The Silence of Winter night"
Under the silence of a winter night.
The fields once loomed with corn, now gloom with eerie light.
There is something daunting, about a midnight's winter field.
A night lit up, with a full moon arose.
Even the elegance of a rose,
Could not stand a winter's night.
A Knight stood towering over the field.
Standing guard at a moments notice.
He takes in comfort, at the silence of the night.
The Silence of a Winter night, offers solace to the Knight.
He reflects upon a time, when a field of corn gloomed red.
The full moon, reflecting upon him, and offers judgement.
For the Knight, knows of his true retribution.
He stands silently, embracing for what is his.
The silence of a Winter Night, with an eerie light.
He wishes he could forget, but still owes God a debt.
He knows that this solace night, will be his judgement, his retribution,
and his remorse.
The Winter night grasps and clutches all within,
But slowly, his soul wear thins.
Thus begins, the acceptance of winter's solace.

....I wish it never happened
On the first day of our story, the future seemed so bright
Written all over your face was a happiness and joy
Your smile was a touch to my heart which left an imprint
All the good times we had are my best memories
The end times reminds me of how you stood by me
Happiness joy and love was our fate given gift
You kissed by the book my love
Your words were a composite of love, joy happiness and strength
The look from your eyes made me strong
...But my love...
That was there up until nature fall us apart
The transformation of your code the a monster’s
Your serum lips now spitted python venom
Flame of hatred gloomed in your eyes suddenly
It was never your fault my love and will never be
Myself I blame for my unsatisfied eyes

A dance with unspeakable joy
Loud laughter of peace
Amidst the jagged edge bounds
Down the unnerving hallowed
Grounds of death he fell
Painful touch of a blessing divine
Ambitions tide gloomed with deceit
Gone with the wind a beautiful dream
Precious life, delicate life
The untouchable sword of farewell
The fading light shot diamonds in his eyes
A painful long kiss goodnight
The helpless figure dying to survive
Too good for the world, too long to last
A lasting song of eternity
Tears of a painful truth
Daddy, daddy, wake up
My weak beckoning voice
The half-closed eyes full of love
A love that will last
He was indeed going home
My best friend, my father the hero
I will keep you here in my heart
For now and for all eternity
Fare thee well.

bleeding heart healed never again
beatific days happened never ever
beaming sun frowned joined me
beautiful days ceased gloomed crying
blossomed not the flowers of soul
blessed not the showers of hope
blue remained the world with me
barren waiting for you to rain
bestow upon us your eternal presence
believers we are bless us please
bind us close flooding love
bring me bliss goddess of hope

Since it was you my heart
was
given
since it was you
In a cloudy night
And a whistling wind
In all thin season
Why today you abash me
like
dried leaves
You pierce my heart in
shambolic manner
You contempt my heart like
gloomed flowers.
It is you!
The distresses of my mind
Your beauty bisects my
heart in
solitary ecstasy
Your beauty that
brightens the
African sky
Make my love bodacious
like
summer night
Like costly garment and
African
attire
Like invaluable jewel
hanging on
Black damsel's neck
Since it was you
You anomalous attitude
cannot
infuriate me
But to conjure me.
