Long Emptiest Poems

Her indifference was merely a façade,
Mine too, if truth be asked, it might have been.

A ballroom packed with clichés ringing as bells
A banner was strung across the sky...

 A wasteland of empty space, void of light
A fearsome nowhere, a darkness not even night
Can this really be the realm...

Be it known as convenience food, junk food or munchies;
whether spicy, melt-in-your-mouth soft, or crunchy,
food, inglorious food, seduces with ease
and ensnares with the emptiest of calories.

Disguised as a comfort food comes macaroni
with creamy Alfredo and...

Press record and create a scene
No second take, she just looks mean
Confront her, she will cause a scene
She's not the one for clothes, know what I mean

I mean just press record and create a scene
She's...

This youth, with its curiosity to follow dreams,
always finds us among the tallest sunflowers
that hide us from the bewildered faces
of the common people who surely envy us
for being here between sunset and darkness,
carefully drawing images...

He enters the neighborhood bitter 
from cold cases old grudges and gripes 
his musty breath is shallow stone cold 
coming from his angry nostrils transferred 
yet again for bad behavior after sucking
the life out of...

The urge to real-ease empties and dulls
Lights in a ram-parted brain flicker on and off
Water flows down a familiar trail down the face
As the shades of gray under the eyes darken
Those sad, tired bags…ridiculed by...

A silly superstition enwraps and grips me, 
It holds me and will not loosen its vile, crushing deathgrip:
It is a numerical one, this foolish superstition to which I have my subscription, 
For this is the...

Half: 
 Half is what I Have.
Half is what I offered you.
Half a heart, half a smile, half a hug, half a touch, half a conversation, half a kiss.
Half on the daily, yes that will...

Did you hear the old man on his high-horse on Easter Sunday?
Smiting all the non-believers in a half empty church.
In his eyes, his own disguise he’s hiding from the faith demise
The rise of non-believers cutting...

Her tears are real, clearly champagne and crystal, 
  delicately micro frozen upon her quiescent face; 
transparent and invisible, deceives the naked eye, 
  there for fleeting instants, gone without a trace. 
Although...

Complication


I felt the suction as you pulled back
The room fell silent, stale
Breath hung in my throat
Clung like smoke 
Each swallow a tightening rope
A little less hope
You were already
Gone.
Gone before I let go.
Hollow visages of you...

Love a word so sweet
that rolls of your
tongue 
A word that
represents so much
of a simple thing,
A four letter word
that will make a
break you
love a hopeless

vulnerable
Captivating and raw
emotions come out in
this, 
Love a word...

Who is there to smoke with me
Because im lost here in california
I havent quite reached the sea
My motive is only mere paranoia

But all this seems like some dark dream
Just get me out of this air...

Ageing Nigerian Politicians
Being made younger by beauticians;
Their millions for Plastic Surgery,
Their wealth for Good Imagery;
The emptiest resolve to seem The Youth:
A Soon-To-Be Blind sees its sad truth…

Ageing Nigerian Politicians,
Richly trusting nice rhetoricians
Like the Pharisees did...

Asterism
that's how i can explain how we met
I'm no astronaut

I've been happy all my life
but with you there's comfort

I can keep searching for...

The poet, he sat, with a pen in his hand, 
And cardboard, by the shop door,
And his eyes only saw the polarised view, 
Of what people chose to ignore,

The sight from his rug, from his...

On Making a Difference

It does not matter how much money I have.
Nor how many medals or trophies I own.
Making a difference in the lives of others is 
the way to live, I was shown.

Holes fill up every part of her soul, 
Holes complete her void,
They fill the gaps between her dreams, 
The gaps that once were joined,

And she has no idea of the love that once grew, 
Grew...
