That soft-spoken Sovereign commands a big stick, 
runs the world into ruins, once our bailiwick.
If asked why, He grins grimly, pale lips slightly pursed:
"Vindication? Straightforward: It's Me and Me First" 

(To mesmerise people He needed...

Wired mortal from the English Art
Banished from his home, spotted from a distance
Noble amongst scrawling African inscriptions
First veneration of mystical minds
Take a bow, take a bow.

Obliterating deliberate disregard 
From interrupters of our histories, 
With trophies,...

A story
Of an insignificant mother trailed.

When sledgehammered, pickaxed
Excavated, craned and the progress of
The ceaseless destruction of
Demolished construction railed.

So is a story
Of an insignificant mother trailed.

With wings flapped and heart ached, the dove
An emblem of peace...

Intentions and innermost desires from minds sparkle in your eyes
Surface simulations and aberrations fly off sugar-coated tongues
Where cavalcades of pesky pies and their ties to lies
Assail love clung, flung, hung, slung, strung, stung in beakers...

Acrobats in the center ring
Ballerina bears on balls and bicycles
Cavalcades of clowns with calliopes 
Dancing damsels in glittery corsets and tulle skirts
Elephants parade in wrinkled suits
Fire eaters flourish flames
Giants on stilts wave ribbons and flags
High...

I dreamt of a bygone past
through a real vision of mind,and
with wide-open eyes:  so real
was the lively dream
that all my senses savored
it as long as it lasted...

I traveled in captivity,
abandoned myself
to a journey in...

Time

Thou mighty monarch of “eartherial” scope, 
the vicegerent  and the viceroy of all fickle frame. 
from thy womb lonesome vial sprung, 
and the cavalcades of torrents bearing branches 

Time 
ere that chaotic cosmos regaled...

Stars of Clarity

Lost in ebony
Void of bursting astral intuitions,
Alabaster amber stolen,
Abandoned in delirium’s decay
Of dying brown dwarfs
Hoarding lavender purple leftovers,
Hidden remnants of disguised advent,
Ashen sojourner wades through impotent stardust
Numb in faded platinum...

COSMIC HEART

There once were places in this world where you could escape
but now the whole globe is wrapped with investigation tape.
So when I want to get away and leave this mess behind
I find myself diving...

A quiet spot in the house,
 not frequented by visitors, 
  set aside, distant, aloof
solitary refuge, retreat,
 escape, safe haven, sanctuary
  from life trials and tribulations;
points of memory, subtle laughter, 
 remembered heartache...

The new king is like a beautiful damsel on her wedding day
Whereby her uttermost joy came from the ring: a seal of authority
With a bright “Akoko” and the crown that makes him loyal to the...

Puppeteers

In cavalcades of bulletproof cocoons
all aspects of our lives they can control
they own all that you have except your soul
the sharply suited pipers call the tunes.
Exchanging every privilege and boon,
in freedom's name to dominate, their...

Once I tried
To fathom the ocean,
And the deep rumbling
Orchestrated symphony
Of the endless cavalcades
Of those reconvening,
Ebb and flow of
Aquamarine waves
Wrapped in lyrical brevity,
Kept implying deathlessness.

While the spumes
Like rhapsodists in a choir
Made me hear their passacaglia
Of epigrams,...
