subtitled: The Bolder Boys (rivals of The Golden Girls)
written for a word bank contest - twenty really weird ones
Two graying seniors with appalling chimera
bantering back and forth - mental meandering.
Be it mirage or dreams from another era -
they diminish the other's philandering.
Fanfaronade - from high school boys I would expect
now it re-appears in quite perceptible measures
from our retired magistrate whom I quite suspect
of erroneous accounts of addled pleasures.
While his cohort, an erratic ex-engineer
relates with brazen gibberish his tete a tetes.
At one time more clear and swift of eye and ear,
on blogs they ordain to publish communiqués.
I have found no diffidence which they jeopardize
making harmless though delectable advances,
Noted but honest attempts to digitize
their forte, their skill in dubious romances.
I offered an honorarium of great size
for the first one who would divest his florid page
of any contentious items - to sanitize. .
Gaga girlfriends grin and gush. They're cute at this age.

Cold was the night when I sat down
The dimples on my cheeks were brown
When they're supposed to be bright red
The fear had gone into my head
I began scribbling with my pen
Words flowed out from that inky den
And danced with the flickering candlelight
Like Goosebumps tales told at night
Indeed it was a gruesome sight
Alone with ghouls of fear and fright
Stories were spewed and told again
Of wars, trust, betrayal and pain
of dragons, knights and leprechauns
And Chimera dining with djinns and fauns
Where Wellington cried Waterloo
And China hugged the Spanish flu
I was caught unaware that time flies
Caught in Anansi's web of endless lies
And bestial shapes spurned the papyrus
Groveled in oil exhumed from Cyprus
As Bucephalus crowned Archimedes
With the golden armor of Diomedes
The LNM stilled the North seas
The West, under siege from zom- bees
And the myth and magic of the ethereal
That mad, mad world, unseen for real
All came as one in blatant prose
There time and my pen both froze
The cosmos had let and closed the deal
The life surged to the inky seal
I felt a sudden chill down m'spine
Just at my door was Frank-in-stein

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Colorful
Separate the tangled tresses of black
Into the colored strands of sheer rainbows,
Release magic of marigold held back,
Mystery of amber lilac in rose.
Let sapphire soar again, where dreams wander,
Free soft amaranth in a bashful blush
Deliver cardinal’s song then ponder
Orange pizazz, crimson inferno’s rush.
Unbind the razzmatazz in raucous red
Unwind evergreen in shamrock dances
Untie amethyst thistles from tight threads
Loosen silk sable’s haunting hues of romance.
Liberate hidden checkmates of darkness
In bursting jubilees, banning starkness.
"Doughnut Man Seeks Insubstantial Woman of Substance"
Doughnut Man
seeks ghost whole
to fit his missing peace

seeks holesome man
who has her back

"People turn around with unseeing eyes
They're looking for something that doesn't exist
The world you once knew is being eaten up by rust
No-one has time for the past, but still, in God they trust
The future is now, but it's all going wrong
Bodies good for nothing, but it's to nothing they belong
People say their prayers and some work hard
If you give them all your money, they'll give you their hearts
This town ain't going like a ghost town
It's going like hell...."

Mellow mantras,
daub my ear,
with rapt sultry
opal peals,
whilst entwining,
seamless sheath,
of aural vista,
whose magic wand,
sedates yet enthusiast,
of this morning nomad,
whose quixotic quill,
aches for ardent dawn,
to tranquilize meandering,
muse off target,
focus on,
aurora spectrum,
day-peep pageant,
of pristine pink,
demure aligned,
sun horizon hover,
gliding gold wisps,
fleeting blue ray,
chimera or mood swing,
dalliance of dust grain,
as I allude to,
gleaming dewdrops,
In lofty lyric,
prompt from,
green leaf rustle,
or grey twig tweak,
silver stream murmur,
moist babble of,
hushed hints,
rush and ripple,
froth rimmed swirl,
vapour vortices visceral,
whet my creative juice,
from lucent pools,
can I imagine,
wondrous tactile trails
and in my dream fantasy ...
I find my beloved Chimera horse
he is quite beautiful, magical and wild
with great feathery wings breathtaking
his mane is a flowing river when he runs
his coat striking brownish shades of brindle
we leap and fly in my dreamy dream ...
~ over forests lush in hues of green
and valleys deep ... dark with mystery
my own hair a golden river streaking in the night
oh, my heart swells with love for Chimera
as the moon sails across the sky
Chimera and I drink
in the night and stars ...
he knows my emotions like when I am sad
and gives me kisses and nudges his affection
sometimes we lay on the cool grass
my head on his body looking up at the twinkling above
and he feels so real to me
not a figment and not an illusion
but a real breathing lovely horse
he just happens ... to have wings ...
~ he found me in a dream years ago
and comes to me unbidden to soothe
my weather-stained soul and broken heart
oh, moon, your light is failing ...
... and Chimera must fade away

Fifth Place
Chimera World
Ghostly midnight Moon
on crescent brink
made me a wink.
Behind clouds fled soon
in eye of blink.
Loitering in maze
on deep dense dream,
I had to scream.
I slipped, when to gaze
through mosaic brim.
Local guardian
of my hostel
put me in cell.
Perfect puritan
pushed me in hell.
Angel from Heaven
appeared in void
as an android.
and brought in garden.
My heart rejoiced.
Life is a Janus-faced Siren—
willfully whimsical, childishly adamant,
It is death’s nemesis, the soul’s swan song
a black widow, a scheming enchantress,
a mirage, an elusive chimera!
Not everybody gets to realize their dreams,
their fondest wishes, their most fanciful whims.
Some days you’ll get to bring home the moon
and days when you can’t even light a candle
to dispel your haunting shadows;
There are times when you
can harness the whirlwind,
At times it’ll be a struggle
just to breathe to stay alive;
Sometimes the wind is a zephyr
and at times a sweeping gale,
Sometimes the way is
a long stretch of freeway,
and, more often than not,
Oh, life leads you down a rocky road.
Sometimes you get to ride the jaguar,
and at times
you chug along on a jolly jalopy.
Tread lightly into her lair
lest you provoke her ire;
A true confidant of Time
together they play havoc
with the soul of man,
Stripping him of all his luster
all his flamboyant spirit—
Hold on to her …But not too dearly
Let go off her … But not too wantonly
Walk not behind her … But neither lead
Fall in steps with her and waltz with the beat of time!
OUR LIBRARIAN
I once remember the
Librarian in my college
Meticulous ,and savvy
His love for knowledge
Knows no bound.
I once remember the
Librarian in my University
A man with a large heart for others
His glasses perking on his nose
His Professorial “penkelemesi” like
Grey hair connotes love for research.
But
I cannot but ask which librarian is this?
I cannot but query the insidious sudden
Love of this Huckster for knowledge
I cannot but be surprised at his hubbub
Declaration for his Library launch.
Oh ye people of our land!
Lets all give ovation du applaud to
Our land’s new Librarian.
The very one who rakes in seven
Of a billion cowries in a hurry
In the all looters Library launch.
The very one whose hatred for education
Towers so high and hit all towers of ivory.
The very atrocious leader of the ruling bandit
Whose avidity for money stares us in the face.
The very leading African Chimera whose
Chicanery we cannot measure
Has now suddenly fall in love with knowledge.
The very blood brother of “Haruna”on our campus
Who votes irritating meager resources for education
He is now our own celebrated Librarian.
The very illiterate Mechanic whose
Baleful gaze alone destroys our land’s Library
He is now our dreadful Librarian.
Sorry ,we know our Librarians
Our Libraries , we are acquainted with
Our Libraries are of obsolete materials
Ours is of more archaic facilities
With books and non books available
Two moons ago still branded new editions
This is our own Libraries.
Let the new Librarian disburse the seven
Of a billion cowries to our Libraries
Let him pump cowries into our education
Let their be more modern Libraries in our land
For is it of a nation that values knowledge
That gets the best of knowledge today and morrow .
