Lexis Poems

A POETIC TIMELINE

The mind hangs in silence,
All is stilled, thoughts lingering
Lazily, as if in cosmic animation;

No words drip from the faucet that once
Streamed waters of creation, and now is
Only empty air passing over an idle lexis;

How deceiving is the thought, idle mind:-
A dormant volcano creates its explosive flow
Does not the idle mind quietly stream likewise?!

There’s no creation that’s void of time;
God himself used time to speak in creation!
Thus, is not time herself, the plunger of idleness?!

Butterflies are timed in cocooned metamorphosis; babes in wombs;
And likewise, black holes are wombed in the depths of time’s space;
Yes, in all creations, time’s time is an instant of its own self eternity:-

Thus, we poets of the cistern of divine wisdom and guidance,
Must ever be aware that the sacred poem is a creature of time;
Germinating in the womb of mind, and premature birth is also timed.

Yes, while time itself–for anything–does not wait, 
We mere mortals must wait on the timing of time,
For it is in its own time that the poem is delivered!

Dodo Talk

Words are born and some change, adapt, some wilt;
Norse drips into French seeps into English, hidden treasures under silt.
Blendings swirl meanings and semantics shift our daily use;
once uttered by tongue, electric touch now lets language loose.
Ancient lexis under threat became narrower with colonial treks;
Luhu and Yahagn, two dodo vocabularies now buried within texts.

Linguistics 4 My Tonology Hypothesis 2

Igbo words for the feared mostly high tone
Perfectly  matching what rattles The Bone
Her lexis for Death, Python, Snake - Fire
And it’s like speaker screaming, pitch higher!

So also Poison’s, Madness’ - ‘The Unpleasant’
Anger’s, Bullet’s - one can’t call The Pleasant 
A Language quite tonally consistent 
With ideas that The Pitch makes insistent…

Still stops not here The High-High tone feature, 
For it does reflect on Paired-Up feature:
Igbo words for Two Eyes, Hands, Legs – nostrils…

Linguists had better like me feel the thrills.

Expectations

I want to be synthesis,
be thesis...
I want to feel a lot
a sum, but being one...
Being of the ground and the air
be from the sky and be from the sea
to be, crazy higid... mentally sane
corpore sano
lex sed lexis...
be a dreamed metaphor,
live pleonasm,
active particle of the universe,
towards the infinity of God...
be of love forever
To be a totally spiritual being... !

The Language of Blue

The Language of Blue

Sinking into the lyrical language of blue
Prime layers of still solitude speak
 With muted voices
  In sapphire soprano rhapsodies,
Lines of bass blushes, electric flecks of neon fire.

Hear in dusky blue’s modal shafts of light,
  The peaceful plaintive sotto voce
 Set an indigo scene 
   In delft lingua for a pas de duex 
With trebling hues lapis and arbot.

Blue chants a lexis, a cerulean chroma glow
 Sung in tender tenor tones patois 
  To translate soft sky blue aqua idioms,
As minor phrases meditate on azure,
In prose text that wafts in periwinkle blooms.

Unhurried blue on blue in plain-chant paeans,
 Whispers and bedazzles teal twilight librettos
Of cradle songs in soft celeste waves
    Of cobalt midnight in the consoling,
And the mystic, language of blue.
