Drifting along on
tranquil opportunities
Embellished within
the nicest ingenuities
Animating all your
stanzas and verses
Giving meaning to
them with purpose
Never holding back
your promises of more
With add creative
imagination galore
Exploring your lines
amongst their transition
Acknowledging their
intent being my mission
Intuitive cartographic
portrayed expression
Removing all of the
unwanted indiscretion
Appreciating each of
our distinct differences
Regardless of
consequences or significance
Influenced characteristics
written in script
Gliding along your mind’s
swells and dips
Returning the potential
to a clear lucidity
Gracefully floating on
unwavering fluidity
Riding upon your flow
of subtle illustrations
Conspicuous gallantry
with trusted fixation
Emotions i feel when
experiencing your words
While listening to your
pieces that you record
Leaves me forever lost
in your articulation
Evoking my soul, giving
my undying adoration’s

Stars, twinkling like laughter
Inviting joy, caressing
Hearts with the wonder, the knowing
Light pours out breathless
Moments, healing even the shadow
Stars, reflecting all the beauty
Soothing away the doubt
Inspiring grace, imaginations - dreams
Alive, stirring up affection
Blessing the thoughts with acceptance
Stars, delighting in the night
Caressing the skies
With music, dancing, flickering
Elated by the honesty
Splattering the heart with musings
Sweetest echoes, faith
Stars, entangled with hope
Coloring the memory
In suggestions of insight, warm
Wisdoms, healing
Heavenly ingenuities, erasing
The dark with spectacular, humbling
Stars, the radiance of night
Falling all around
The soul who knows that this
Glow is the stirring of a feeling
Blessed by the heavens,
Where their light lives on forever

I felt lonesome in the absence of a confidant.
The scarcity of a shoulder to adjoin was violent.
I've lastly grasped what I've been scrutinizing.
The day revealed the supporter was astonishing.
I beheld a companion in the uniqueness of you.
My sights are sounded with ingenuities and softness.
I clasped a stone and hurled it as firm as I used to.
This roused me to ponder locating a mate all across.
But promptly, the alliance award can evolve.
You will utterly represent my esteemed aspiration.
You will inevitably dwell on God's gift from above.
I suppose this is the best time for the occasion.
Everything displays celestial splendor.
To wholly cease one year and dive in another.
We may be near the ending of this poem.
An addition will be present in the narrow term.

We all left home dead with a wordless farewell,
But couldn't rest in peace in the tiled and golden sepulchres abroad.
A great pang gripped our hearts,
Leaving us with a haunting and horrible sense of insecurity.
We have come home,
Like a prophesied rhythmical torrent of eloquent prophecy,
To revolt, conquer and cleanse the land,
Because to fight is the only honor left to an oppressed people threatened with genocide.
Before the battle begins, our feet will be firmly rooted,
Into this nation’s primal soil,
Our muscles, bones and fists will be guarded too,
Because in the final evaluation,
The only true bulwark against death is to live.
Before the lasting peace, freedom, equity and survival finally comes,
We will find and retain national consciousness,
Since our courage, guts and ingenuities got nothing to do with cowardice.

They huddle on shelves like sardines
crammed in cans
even hungry paper lice are prevented
entry into their literary leaves.
Novels are an aggregate of grey matter
whose ingenuities maw muted
narratives for willing eyes;
Taking us vicariously through fictional
Plots unfolded by actions, speech and thoughts
of fictional characters at our leisure.
An immortal genre whose fame is enduring
as long as there exist authors that write them
and well-read people who read them.

The Unknown
Enforcing my authenticity because
I am a child of the Most High...
I am a citizen of Zion, concealed with zest
With my quiver full of destructive creativities
Sharpen with ingenuities
Garnished with embellished tongues of Holy Ghost pen...
I conquered territories built by self-limitations
Bringing down every high and low thought of illusory fantasy...
Bedwetting a chain of change in the history of mankind
I am the unknown, yet to be reveal
I am the revealed, yet to be understood
I stooped and shook
Swimming and soaring with minds above the region of my nose...
With new vigour, I smell the roses...
Ready to cock a snook with intellectual vagabond...
You may call me, son of a gun,
Simply because my guts outweigh your guns
I don't give a damn because
You are little in your views about me
Watch me, I am the unknown………
