When I let loose
One in the elevator
It was so stink
That the people fainted
Even the elevator
Kept opening and closing
It’s doors, trying to let
The scent out

For Steve with Love
More vague than unclear the causes cry out an alibi.
I choke on sour taste as I attempt to slide by.
Feelings bunch up, they crouch within my throat.
My tries to set them loose, just cause them to float.
I want to make it complete,
just take this life and wrap it up all nice and neat.
BUT … my scissors edge is bland
and they shake in my hand;
… my paper is worn
and the gold edges torn;
plus, my tape won’t adhere -
say … am I in the right gear?
It’s smiles I want in greed’s own count of more.
Some wants wash out in contamination's pour
of severe thunder-reared, heavily flared dank-air
ill aimed at my wants soft dreaming atop mohair.

Loudly lashing to make a claim
Rolling constantly raving for ways
Returning to recoil at thoughts
The ones and moments lost
Raging refusing to comprehend words
Silently sheltering of heartaches curse
Sight seen envisioning not worse
A life without denying our hurt

Let loose and laugh,
As life is getting so hard;
Ease the stress and pressure,
Getting off the house of cards.
Wearing a relaxed joyful smile
Carries a high-grade wealth;
Furrows fade away from face,
Heart shall beat in health.
Wellness is indeed a treasure,
That no one can deny;
When a heart aches in sickness,
Price to pay is too high.
Turn tears into laughter,
So your mind takes it easy;
Worries and woes will wane,
Fleeing from your memory.
Laugh your heart out
To prolong your lifetime;
Old but happy man is lucky,
Smiling so sublime.
Listen to jokes in delight,
Whole wretchedness is cut in half;
Give yourself a little break,
Let loose and laugh.

nnam, where's that tree
at the centre of the clan?
o, what happened to the people's iroko?
where're my people's hope?
the voice of my clan
the famous tongue that came
like the griot of my niger
and stood firm, astute, echoing
the drums of my masters
the ancestors, my ancients –
nnam, did you say
the sacred tree’s fallen?
what mysteries in our times
what miseries are coming
upon the once famed clan –
did oke nmadu, the great man
go with the drum of the clan?
aru eme-e, evil has come
mere anarchy’s let loose
upon the clan –
let the ancients
remember their clan!

Let loose her frozen fireworks that burst with setting sun!
Let roar her spatial orchestra, for night has just begun!
Stare deep into her multitude of cosmic candle-lights!
Come forth and bask in radiance from distant fire-kites!
The stagnant stars are ornaments
and the moon a chandelier.
With gown comprised of violet ice,
she parades through twilight clear.
Let fall her blazing pixie pods that flash with vibrancy!
Let turn her clouds of diamond dust for all the world to see!
Cast out thy pain and all thy woe into her tranquil being!
Fly free, for dreams cannot resist a pattern so serene!
Below, the sea admires her,
mimicking through liquid glass.
At night, its sky complexion warps
to a guise that cannot last.
Let flow her twisting tapestries that paint with heaven-hues!
Let shine her preconfigured pearls, for stars emerge on cue!
Hold dear the ocean that she weaves from blue nocturnal streams!
Reach out and grab her sparkling hand, a slew of azure beams!
So grand is her emphatic gaze;
evermore that cast shall be.
So beautiful the frozen stars...
Oh let loose, let loose her majesty!

NORTHERN LIGHTS Flash,
as planets long to interfere
with heaven.
The stars patiently wait,
crossed beyond the moon.
We dream of peace,
as fire floats above,
tingling nerves,
we see
delicious changes,
touch the rain.......
run from the sun...
and laugh.
You'll stay calm,
down to the silky end,....
where nothing
sane
happens.
