Thumbs Up To The Journey

At the footbridge as it bridges past from present future and perspectives your
feet might be-come and may be-go confused be-fuddled as can your mind before
the shadows rainbows feathered fancy pastel tunes...

born under the sea, an irresistible force
  two bodies reluctantly embrace, shunting, shifting, tectonic drifting
  alongside the southern Iapetus Ocean
  equatorial deep-time child of Laurentia and Avalonia

Organic form goes through birth and death
Thus man too did believe in death’s inevitability 
Until Jesus practically demonstrated resurrection
Signalling that we too may so transcend, as did He
Upon lighting the three fold flame of Christ...

Living in a realm where 
the air seems to 
be still as stone,
invisible, like a 
ghost of a rose, 
translucent and frozen in

Matching to the rock to be seen,
They are the beast of no nation;
Their mouth lack the voice to speak
Because the eyes of their eyes are
The magic that sort madness to...

When you get that bellyache, you know you’ll be heading for,
That little house way down the back, where the comforts made for you,
So you...

We've waited this long to see 
the dead trees spring up again but
No one is moving the mountain;

Going up and down, left and right.

Do you remember yesterday we flew kite

Liars

Looking and staring
Singing and lofting
So agile and charismatic
All for the essence of the belly.

I've built mansions
And own exotic cars
But in reality a pauper
The honour is just for a moment but expires

He assaulted or raped me
But...

COMRADE LOVE NEEDED

Sorrow of Love is hard to bear
stretches my bones and 
I cannot go on

A need for comrades 
to speak about Love
lost their ability to love
can only love for moments 

When these moments come
they...

When there are no doors, all and sundry, 
like the wee willy nilly winds,
are welcome to come and go, as they please.
Blow-ins, blowouts, are free to enter or leave.
But feng shui would like missing doors...

Parad(em)ise

Dangling from a stolid chandelier of empty shadows

Her threadbare strings attached to vacant promises

Jemima has tried every angle of escape and refuge


Her make up faded and the jester’s façade burrowed

Deep into macabre deluded weather worn...

FAMILIAL FAMILIARITY
I never got her name
and i'm to blame
and claim my right to misery

I never found out where she lived

When you see Wole Soyinka smile,
The earth dances in a glowing feast,
The earthquake becomes calm and
Loyal before his moving lips' curve.

He is the future of dreams and hope,
A focal point of the orbit of humans;

Once upon a long time,
The silence blanketed my world
Like snow covering an arctic forest.

The nooks and crannies of my days
Were filled with the wispy webs of quietude 
Worked by whispering limbs
