Thou Precious and Guiltless Nigerian Blood

The whips of smoke was thickly spiraled all over my face,
 I stood at the shrine, rather the church,
 The eerie and somber silence within the cave scourged me,
 As the nocturnal owls spoke cabalistic...

The Broken Pieces

I sat under the grey shadow of the gloomy night
Raising the closed curtain of the darkest day's flight
My heart subdued the voice of my inner shrine
Wiping the droplets of tears that wet my chine

I sat...

The Rocky Road To My Mountain

Some stranger sent me a letter,
stating that I was a beyonder,
someone who looks human and strong like steel,
but actually doesn't have the same traits; 
he was born to foretell his own demise,
and expose,without resentment, his...

I Failed I Fear

It is all my fault, for I am in command,
We sped into space with aspirations grand.

As we neared lightspeed, we saw pulsars,
And twinkling stars, deep space memoirs.

The cosmic sights were dazzlingly unreal-
Red giants and colorful...

This Honorable Name

I've been reduced to the lowest humbleness 
by making a smart choice, never lauding myself
for my achievements more than twice,
it's foolhardy that they didn't fit into my perception,
but others praised me with deep admiration;
I have...

Affliction

AFFLICTION?
It is said of young physicians when they first set out to learn
All the symptoms and conditions that known illnesses convey
They perceive these indications each one causing more concern
‘Til they make the diagnosis to their...

The Mark and My Scars

Right here on my chest,
Lies a mark I didn’t intend to make but it’s visible like a crest,
A cut made so deep to torture my body for entangling in a mess,
A great soul smitten and...

Russia Attacks Ukraine - Revised

It does not fit in these now modern times-
the news that's dominating our TVs.
With some gains made in world diplomacy-
these scenes of war are too hard to believe.

The Afghan war went on some twenty years;
yet...

Your Brief and Our Shiny Days

Like Abraham Maslow's highest Hierarchy of needs theory,
You are a ruler, self actualized and need not to worry.
You look down to downgrade the poor from your mansion,
That has been your passion.

You shine so bright like...

A Husband's Nightmare

‘Twere a foolish youth indeed
that ne’er his parents’ voice would heed.
“We hear you’re courting Mary Lue.
Dump that flirt, what e’er you do!
Once you’re wed, she’ll run you down.
Her name is known throughout the town.”

Alack! O...

Fear

At the dead hour of the night
I was shaking with severe cold
It was not fever when I checked
An uncanny fear gripped my soul
The bricks of the walls of my room
Looked back at me with direful...

Whenever The Soldiers Go

These thoughts will follow
whenever the soldiers go...
to be with them into the battlefield,
reciting the shortest prayer
to protect them as a shield
in moments of uncertainty and fear!

A heart penetrated by sorrow
shares their belief deeply,
there will be...

Happen At Once

Occurring being direful the winter
while the middle-minutes night
By anew wake up —of dawn. 
the snows alike ...  rain falling from the space
and the Cathedral is hollow-ringer 
sudden off gave fifth pealing of bells 
And...

Have You Ever Tried

How dare you say you understand me
Have you swam in the same ocean
That drowned me? -- freezing, macabre

Have you ever encountered
The direful monsters lurking
Under my creaking, rusty bed?

Have you heard their voices
That command me to...

King

But what is man, but an insignificant insect in my dominant domain?
A wasteful clan, pernicious and prejudicious roaming the open plain…
Using a destructive plan, a killing machine building their festive feasts,
Invading the Sudan, hunting for...

In Very Direful Times

In very direful times,
I'll wipe off every tear
and resurrect the faded smile
buried beneath a book pile...
where letters are hidden from dust,
or from surly days that are long gone!  
Can anybody escape from it unless...

Gloomy Lagoon On A Foggy Day

No gondolas are gliding under bridges, 
it's a lagoon without classic songs;
pigeons are huddled and do not coo, 
they're frightened by the murky blue!  

Carlo sings some lovely Neapolitan songs,
tourists sing along with him...

Reverie

The sun has set behind the golden hills
And silence reigns within the forest deep.
The dice of life fall as the goddess wills.

The shadow grows, the birds are fast asleep,
A somber night is beckoned by the...

End of Heartache

Time starts to pass 
and I panick
Unsure of where to go,
what to do or how I'm going 
to get there... 
where ever "there," may be.
Limp and frozen;
there's no stopping me now.
I must seek.
I must find.
Hesitant...

Coming Back Reincarnated

A stifling calm hung over the enlivened eve,
Across the gulf of years and time,
Ambitions and aspirations shivered into solids and dust,
I must have existed here before now.

It's hard to cry, complain and die soon,
I'm familiar...

A Remorseless Battle

The Poem is dedicated to nine innocents who has lost their lives in Israli attak on their 
humanitarian aid. 

Docility, a living destitute of Anthropomorphism.
Recency, appalling of desperation or piteous anomalism.
Recommendations apotheosize a fussiness of...

Afraid of the Dark

The wind comes up and moans like an old crone
In darkest night that I have ever known.
My car has stopped, the battery is dead.
Black closes in and I am all alone.

I lock the doors, prepared...

For Gaia

Hold my heart
Let me bleed into your veins
Let my breath be your breath
Until your lungs breathe again

Let my tears quench your direful thirst
And quell the fires raging within
Use my skin to stitch your ragged wounds
