Long Epitomizes Poems

No worries though . ....

NDIDI (PATIENCE IS GOLDEN)

Patience said:
"Whatever my old man says."
So,
I saw the wise, bald, old man
In his thatched mud hut
Loin cloth knotted 
Around his shoulders 
The whiff of utaba (snuff)
Saturating the atmosphere

He googled me
Between the rims...

after an invasion void of any declaration.
Stamps on history’s book by feminine hands

Hidden by the screen from prying eyes. Her face

For suddenly I was looking at mother again....

Looking back I wonder how we got here
I remember life when
we couldn't get right
every other day was a struggle
communication between
us would crumble
but somehow here we are

It was bad, but we both knew
that it should've been
better...

A Second Please

Aesthete equip upkeep spade, trowel, and watering pail,
Balters out freely, gagging unwantable, grit travail,
Chrysalism advents the righteous eyes and elaborates,
Dulcet forgivings a moment's lapse and recuperates,

You left early without a goodbye
I miss the sweet missives 
Those feelings tried to deny
My heart perfect way to express.

WHITE SHADOW
-------------------
Cornered in opalescence
No walls to be found
The abyss its residence
The address unknown

Its countenance clear
As frozen solid stone
Collaged in aqueous blue
Painted misty gray

Its irridescence seen
But presence unseen
Epitomizes the trace
Of a fallible illusion
Portray as fumes of
Charcoal...

Hold me close in yours arms.
Enthuse my inner person.

Touch me.
Caress me.
Make me purr.
My inner...

or how flowers anticipate the rain.

Like how the sun rises to greet the...

Summer Romance

A summer romance warms the chill of Fall,
enticing lips to touch in deep caress.
You hear the rhythmic song of crickets’ call

Our views and sorrows are mirrored in life.
Each jagged shard epitomizes some strife.
Our wounds, sufferings, and personality,
It will include one's beliefs and morality.

Are we netting insight or primarily existing?
Veins would shiver with shattered feelings.

Suffering the woes heaped on it coolly
Without troubling anybody...

October is the season of fall
Everything from tree does fall
Solitary it stands calm and tall
Epitomizes highest goal of all

Bare tree represents state of liberation
No procession, thoughts, feelings
Mental stillness, no earthly dealings
Happily witnessing soul salvation

October picturizes...
