Long Fallowed Poems

I speak of pain without external scars
I speak of loss for treasured things
I speak in the silence of my broken heart
The me I hold against all that tears it apart.
You think I am whole
Because I...

ODE  TO  A  NEVER RECEDING ECHO
For  Onyebuchi

Day  and night in an eternal combat.
A  truce : the eternal cycle of night and light
Lost in the ruse of an  eclipse.
Where...

Behind forest there is beautiful meadow
Upon it trees cast shadow
The extensive boughs of oak tree
Give it primordial majesty

Beneath the forest a stream
In which all kinds of fish swim
Small lake nourishes the stream
It is wonderful like...

The sun enlightening at the front house
two old armchair-in places by the postal —

I walked knowingly into the trap
as a boat sails over Charybdis.
Afraid of showing tell-tale marks
up and down my arms.
I gave in to the lesser evil,
went astray, searching indiscriminately for an escape.
My search lead me to...

Gathered around the table
they lay papers before the sacrament
and the gathering is called to order.

Around the table they go, each to reply
as projections are cast on the future.

The seed of thy seed has been good,

Two Poems



Avariciously she wanted to be a poetess

Cryptic colloquial eloquent words possessed

Often elusive eschewed from the theme

Limericks and rhymes avoiding etymology means

She an emissary of exonerated poetry banned

Refused extrication to facilitate an easy read

Hoped the...

Alone in this world fallowed by some random girl
that girl in the past was me
I try to run but she's always there
Just google our name and see

I can not help the things I've done
I promise...

Spiritual injection,
soul to the bone marrow gene therapy
Regeneration revived me,
when grace was bestowed abundantly
Dipped my soul in the water,
emerged with a spark of godly desire
I wanted to be holy ...
be elevated higher
I felt the fire
as...

I am left here, left here all alone.
With a tragic heart cold as stone
That’s right here all alone
With a clone of a imitation drone
Faked future flawed to floor me
That’s right here all alone
I did everything...

Fallowed mind on barren ground toils
Winter's cold streams radiant beams foil
No incubating current cuts through the dense soil
Muses' bright glint the dark, thick clouds roil
Blipping sparks can't light my sensory console
A dormant seed sprouts on...

In a world decayed by tyrants and greed, 
Serving the human for the human mans creed. 
Separation and conflict, the terms we now know
Where once The Last Bastion “Hope” used to grow

Defensible positions push further...

If truly One heart we share
Upon this curse, we'd never stare
From songs of Love, I've long shied
Now wick stings the wax, we hold dear

If truly One heart we share
Why does your pulse beats, when mine...

Pale sleep awakens.
Another light scorns the earth 
as crooked fingers lash down,
their jagged streaks slashed by 
nagging pall puffs, shattered 
by lofty white swirls.

Breath drawn in- then out,
burying itself in rusted, fallowed 
dreams and nettled...

A solitary kernel for lack of succoring nurture aggrieved
From sun's warm caresses seasonally bereaved
With wind's chilling strides constantly plucked, heaved
Lying on fallowed ground whose cloak now desleaved
With frigid mantle over frostbitten spine weaved
Nutrient-rich pores of...

Oh, come
Ye fallowed souls
That burneth in the wake
Of the embers and coals
That spitteth from the mouth
Of the hellions lips that forever quake
Bringing chaos to the pure handed
And suspicion to the inanimate
That deceased under the demanding
And...

From cold, distant hearts frigid 
air doth circulate
Downy blanket no longer the 
surface can insulate
Icy stares a corrosive wind 
doth instigate
A sheltering family no longer 
the gale can mitigate
Frostbitten minds numbed to 
their pending fate
Emotive...

..just then 
 
It was just there, a few weeks ago, 
When the Sun was high; 
Nestled with Fleabane; 
Pillowed in Stitchwort. 
 
Barely fern-like and feathery, just new, 
A small Astilbe, from somewhere.

Snowflaked angels falling lightly
In darkness of the evening stir	
As I fallowed footsteps queerly
On old-fashioned horse with spur  
  
To travel where others have been
Places where others have verified
I passed by the sleeping village
And...
