Long Honeycombs Poems

Chrysalis



Emerald caverns carved in light, honeycombs of sheer delight

And I, a joyful wonderer be, in this labyrinth of mystery

One mere step through fern and brier, to satiate my soul’s desire

Streaking through the leafy crown, blades...

Both Jing and Ling
Perfect match of nature
Are walking in Wuhan City,China 
Have hand in hand 
Before the king of death
The Corona Virus attacks on the city.

Unaware of dangers 
From unseen little warrior 
Smiling faces smile...

Vagabond Reveries

I awoke one apple-ripe autumn afternoon, 
While shifting my necessity to care, dreaming,
To gaze upon the twisting trail in reveries of untethered reality 
A quest for halcyon enigmas that chased me into cloudy castles.

Life is a series of overlapping adventure circles…
(after all…we’re riding on a planet that continuously spins)
The moment one adventure reaches its end…another adventure begins.

We left our home and for a couple months and across this...

DON’T  GET  ME  STARTED


1.   About taxes, we have to pay them so why bother
Wasting breath complaining? And they’re spent on 
Useful stuff like nuclear weapons and world-tours for

Cityscape

The artist’s hand reshapes yesterday
    In straight lines
    Of hard edges -
Peaks of 
    Right angles perfected
    Missing oblique or obtuse –
Claiming the...

Let's take a poem and raise it towards the sky,
Observe its play of light like a diverse slide film,
Allow the sun to whisper its hidden hues,
And through it, let dreams flow like rays through leaves.

End of The Cassava


Like cassava we planted corruption in the farm
Like mangos we plug corruption from the trees
 Like Ram we rear in the land where it sold
Like pounded yam we pound our yam of...

Summer is over and the farmer now rests from his toil,
Having labored hard to wrest his crops from the fruitful soil.

"Chidinma"
Your name is celestial like Manna!
I have not forgotten the way you taste
Nor did the flavour left my savouring mouth.
Honey is sweet,
Sugar is sweet...yet don't taste the same!
Don't ask me why

They broke the ground some months before.
At the site, like faithful bees at work,
machines and men construct a human hive... 
the new high-rise, every tenant's dream;
each apartment placed like honeycombs
beneath one roof...world within a world.

my Memory exists as a beehive, the buzz
Eating away at the mundane thoughts. i seldom

everything useless but nothing of Love
or Joy or the Butterflies i get when pretty
Girls lull my name...

The birds have flown up and gone
They have built their own nests
On the trees of the alien lands.
My tree is lonely and leafless.
We look at each other tree and I.

Oh, the joys of spring days-

Don't trust those metaphors, my darling
They all lie
The wind is the air's alphabet 
The earth knows the cosmic way by heart
Birds sing from hunger 
Stars understand people 
Better than people understand each other
Sometimes the rain...

Tree and I


The birds have flown up and gone
They have built their own nests
On the trees of the alien lands.
My tree is lonely and leafless.
We look at each other tree and I.

Lame sunrises and midday sunsets
Fangs in words and perils in laughters
Sweet archs of smiling fires and silky shouts in talking forests 
I come from the bitter of cobstones paved down the coalfield 

Broken lutes and...

The blackberry tree, hanging some of its branches over her,
    arbors, shelters and comforts her. The blackberry honeycombs,

Had to take note of that
Too late for going back
But getting one step closer at
Objectives near the upper and lower branch
Wind blowing fast
The sky was overcast
Above many roads and...

Hot tar slickly melted on the road,
Hedgerows died, browned in the drought,
Sizzle of egg frying on the sidewalk,
I felt my heart was burning out.
Blue china skies, polished and glazed,
Jet trails, silver vapour scars,
Mercurial sweat trickled...
