Long Capitulates Poems

Let hope rely upon your Maginot
for swift retort has choked your Gallic might.
It crushed your will beneath its undertow
as diligence receded in the fight.
Your flailing forces teeter on defeat
and any hint of truce shall be...

For soon the rains of destiny will fall
as innocence capitulates its soul.
Aggression sealed your fears within a wall
to let disease and hunger take their toll.
Your rank-and-file dissolved into the night
with nary whisper echoing their names,
‘tis...

when the rich wage war, it is the poor who die
overflowing their bank accounts as they lie

hiding behind niceties as they make us slaves
wars made to control us, which they create and crave

when will we...

While rummaging, mining,
and distilling me gray matter,
stoking mentality activates
oft time surprising me,
where unexpected novel

cognizance never abates,
I experienced becoming
linkedin with cosmic fates,
sans collective unconscious
soul of the universe,
and chanced to espy,

(albeit only a trimmed speck),
the spirit of...

In late dusks, smothered sighs of pain melt into tomorrow,
When waltzing sounds lift and fall in veiled irrelevance.
Sacred moments are captured in the twilight’s golden yolk of creation,
While crystalline waves of wind ring a farewell...

This happens all the time,
The water ripples far from my mind,
I know not, yet know yet again;
the water ripples, is this my sign?

If I walk away, will I sink?
If a wish comes, is it a...

A short, fat man with ruddy nose
Who dresses up in ruddy clothes
And sits behind a tiny herd
Of reindeer as they fly like birds

Across the sky delivering gifts
To boys and girls. He must be swift!
To answer...

CUPID/EROS 


Oh! Erato, 
Muse of the poetry of love
Inspire me today
I supplicate you for 
I aspire for HIM to write 
HIM: CUPID, the son of Venus
Goddess of beauty, and of Mercury, 
The cunning messenger 
Of...

The Longing Soul

The moment has arrived 
And the night has passed, yet the feelings remain
The sunshine and the clouds dance in the sky
As the wind calls to the longing soul…

Here is the place of yielding
Tranquility...

YES !


Written in my palms
Within the plasma tempest of my cellular flow
Courses in the pulmonary oxygen
The direction linear fate
Souls writing indicates
Always through pass of time
Reverberates
My breathing in
Links my hands
Physical over mental
Pours consistent
Suffused empire shudders
Tangible still...

You wrap my name
In syllables of love
Passion tinged sound units
Caressed by the beauty of your voice
you leave me no choice
but to yield....

breathed into my ear
you release
letter sojourners to travel
down the curve of my neck
to a...

ISALE EKO  (LAGOS)

A rooster of discrete tongues
Cultur, tradition
Where,
Zillion specters resonate
Quantum croak.
Cock crow,
Erupts whirl, barge at Alaba
Descry of sea of soul cases
Kibbling in, out as Emmet over nectar,
As husky ell of murk drench dawning,
Eviscerate NEPA's...

My feet leave blood upon this mountain path.        
They seek the stones that tear at them--
that tear away my thoughts of Isaac, 
far ahead of me, 
effusive in...

Spent and Battle Weary,
the exhausted figure trudges the well worn path 
like the to-ings and fro-ings of some relentless seaside donkey. 
Utterly defeated,she resumes her rhythmic rocking, almost robotic in its ministry.
No welcome here for...

Ebony inks the emptiness of space
highlighting the stars splayed out in the night.
And the moon views Earth from a unique place,
as daylight and night morph into twilight;
and Luna and Sol seemingly embrace.

As Dusk dons a...

I Am Right Here

Thy lent shadow tenders thee liberty,
In occasional fading of the sun,
Willed to oneness, stayed in captivity.

Rift recurs thy stained disability,
A jigsaw puzzle of thee spreads undone,
Thy lent shadow tenders thee liberty.

Thy severance...

Levity from the pain of a love that was never meant to be
within the portrait of our fillial destiny
was what you granted to me while wanting nothing in return
but affinity of hearts for the lesson...

Another plain defies relating, 
near as breath, 
as far as imagery will travel
'til it too capitulates,
and no one knows who has not visited
an "is" that cannot be,

I touched its edge, full knowing
that it could not...
