I opened the door to my heart
and had let it speak without a fence.
If you did close the door to your heart
"Do not worry", I give you that assurance.
Just be a keeper of the trust
by not using
any of our free and fiery conversations
to suddenly break my heart and the world
in an instance.

How a caring and kind gentleman,
Changed into an indifferent and cold blooded in a short instance.
Why was he so mean to me,
Can't keep the simple fun loving friendship,
His relationship was not everything I need.
Yes, he infected me with his poison affections,
But, he could not destroy me with his treatments.
I wished I knew what has happened to my kind and intelligent friend.
I did not know why the friendship has ended,
Have I done something wrong to cause it.
Despite what had happened to our friendship,
However simple, intense, bitter sweet and short lived.
I treasures the time we were together.
I still remebered the time I knew what happiness was.

After may be the advent of democracy war could grunt
or groan, raising it's smokes or names for instance.
Once more again it may not be the only thing so harking
to show,
when like already new diseases are found everyday
everywhere here wew gingering further to a gloom
grotesque.
Nigeria is under intranet humor emergency:
Maybe a cool war to see the world now through itself,
maybe a cool war to welcome the something whole
heatedly,
maybe a cool war to enjoy a thing of clit and clat.
Why like democracy is also the government of these
machines, they are cool but on me- thought noses,
water is nature and fish and mermaid and stone
and a lot more?.

In an instance I am gone
It is replayed on a loop
Mostly for family
Sometimes for friends
Definitely for exes
It is not always personal
It's random
But sometimes it feels urgent
To avoid pain
Even though pain is inevitable
It is something I can't outrun
But I still feel liberated
Absent from atonement
I only fear for the future
That I will be standing alone
Perhaps standing alone is for
my sanity
Some may disavow
Still I love
And still I disappear
With unwavering loyalty
I hope you take me with openness
I hope your memories nurses
Because in an instance I am gone

Mark gave his honest Instance
Of the very circumstance
In which men kept their distance
From Next-Door Neighbor Constance
Anchoring it in Mischance,
All Adams to take no chance,
As An Embittered Constance
Had thrice shot three from near distance,
Their mouths gaping in Askance,
Even as their hit bodies did a funny dance …
You mark All Adams, An Embittered Constance
After ill-luck in near distance
Is something to mourn like mischance!

The flash of the light
The bang of the sound
The body and bullet caught in an instance of time
The thud on the ground
The smoke disappears into the cold, dead air as does the soul of your life.
The smile in your eyes
The romance in your heart
The sorrows of your mind
The joys of your life
Stripped away by one bullet from my gun, by the sad insanity of our kind.
In this madness of time
In this weird game of life
You lose on this day with your life
I live to see the next fight.

Prevent Instance
What we will need is a preclusion,
Which will always prevent effusion,
And left out,
Without a doubt,
So we can avoid all the confusion.

Have you ever overcome a distance?
With your cell phone you get voice assistance,
With your cell you get only to listen,
But I know of an instance…
Say you are aware of right now,
Present the unknowing with a how,
Here and over there is together somehow,
It’s this instance that matters to us and deserves a bow,
when I smile unknowingly why,
Or the time I laughed all night,
Remember the comfortable feeling u bring?
How are u aware of this secret to cause me so much grin?
This instance I call it love,
Unaware of why we strive to hear one another,
Or to await your appearance online or other,
Right now in this instance it feels like none other.
Treasure what lies in front of you,
Dreams are right now for you.
Truth is what one feels from you.
It’s an instance from me to you.

Being becomes
As instance sums
Watch what you hear
As thoughts appear
Enter the act
Where tact seeds pact
Be boldly clear
To suspend fear
Express your stay
With poignant play
Apply faith well
To live and tell
Sculpt tints of hope
That bring fine scope
Live lovely quest
As grace funds zest
Being now starts
Here with true heart

I could not bear this war between logic and love,
But remembering her face once again levitates my mind afloat,
Into the heavens my mind gracefully flies like a gleeful little dove,
And there I see reality once gain like a vast bottomless moat
I can never get across it,
For I am not worthy of the maiden that lies protected inside,
As her beauty's like a fire that is eternally lit,
To end my whole heart forcing it to burn and divide
Into despair and sorrow I hesitantly go,
Each passing night they both give me the beautiful dreams,
Dreams of her fair kind wonderful soul that I know,
A soul I can never share a life with, it seems.

If ever I had two hours with you… or three,
the vacancy of this night and lulled
shores would be refilled with the gushing
of frosted air on our reveries past;
the multitude of amiable stars bestowing
a hush of surrender... raged midnights ending
into fresh mornings backed by our
theme song replayed.
Then, to recall the sevens and nines of time
cutting our names into crumpled paper: a departure
of hearts traveling in different territories.
We inched away,
not because of lack for vows marked in deepest
sands. But… by fate’s desire to shelter you in
a faraway place, while I... I burned skies
through the pain and beauty
the long distance of regrets had claimed.
If and when we unite again, two or three hours
by God's grace, oh the fluttering of a thousand
fearless thoughts would not be enough to say you were
the branch that got away, and I was your last rose
that lost its stem.
Perhaps, now is the moment to clutch the moment?
