An excellent April afternoon blooming.
Damali is now 19 years old this

Stretched out at his study desk.
He had been enrolled for a year...

The Roman administrators came for the wealth of our worship
demanding that I crack the church's coffers wide open
for their needs, for the Empire's desperate embellishments,
in place of gold I presented the poor
I told the onery...

Closer to the foundational family.
Which was Greatgrand and

Based on African descent 
Culminating in giving gifts and a large feast

Dear budding poet, 

Modern poetry is an evolutionary process. A poet never really stops growing and learning. Even the most seasoned of poets can discover and master new forms. I wish you a happy journey...

So I saw this woman today,
She looked familiar.
Like someone I’ve seen before,
Well basically someone I knew.
She outwardly represented something,
Something that was real,
Something that was true.
I initially chose not to talk to her,
But just stared in...

The journey is infant and the waters are calm
the boat is carried on soft waves as if sailing on a child's palm
as the sounds of peaceful streams sends a newborn to sleep.

The boat makes way...

Coming down my way, I let the leaf fall onto my palm 
As little tingles of warmth console my shivers
It lands as the others fall to the ground 
Some pass me—others sink around in submission

Rumination.
Too long an elongation
Oblivion
Too easy a high five to see in freedom, in scope of Pentagon
The eternal fire, chest of drawer and homeland security
Almost a climax toward  Bermuda triangle
A selfless supplication in the third...

First I'd grasp your virgin nape
And pull you in for a passionate union
Like fine silk, your hair will flow through my fingertips.
Soon finding their way south,
Removing everything in their way.
Skin so smooth it's frictionless,
My fingers...

Taking a course of being a secretary
Typewriter on the table is ready

My hands are aching to hit the letters
Speed depends on the movements of my fingers

A basic instrument of communication
You have to familiarize with the...

Weave a glittering tapestry
Of wisdom for youths of the world, so they
Resoundingly reject peer pressures that often
Drain their innocence. Words of wisdom would
Spare them the sword of damocles

Sages and brethren
gather and share
and slowly souls
are bared;
their tempered voices
and quiet eyes
reserved of judgment
with passing smiles,
moments blend
in current trends
opinions wide
and reflections deep;
the concepts
and irregularities
once murky
now clear.
they prioritize
and familiarize
that staunch resolution
of generation net
will remunerate
and illuminate
through the...

Control me with your smiles,
Small and discreet to broad and bold,
Each one melts me...
As I mold myself back together,
With thoughts of us,
You show me a smile of encouragement,
Building ego and confidence,
Until I am overflowing with...

We stare just to stare;
Attempting to memorize and familiarize 
Saving an image of the face looking back at us into the empty bank within our brain 
Imperfection after imperfection
Peering to discover meaning behind it all...

Like a woman, the flesh has several delightful...

At dawn all is discreet,
All roads are ready quiet,
All the streets are silent,
Quietness reigns universally.

Birds in the bush are benumbed.
Various sounds transcend the land, 
As the light grows, the day wakes up,
The sun will build...

Wednesday

Sun set light shines
horizon in different colours
down pour

Thursday

Time, hustle and bustle
at mountain kum
a thin whip
  
Friday
 
Waves like rainbow
common to their smells
earth walks a bit

Saturday

Now, a morning sound
overwhelming a commotion
making it same

Sunday

However, other gusto...

We meet strangers in open
or closed spaces,
and somehow our hearts
familiarize with each other,
right before we know each other's
hobbies, names, parents, fetishes....
Our hearts conspire against us;
they hide a secret - a fact that they
know after much...
