The Trial of Christopher Okigbo
I

Hungry earthworms
Forever entombed in the bowels
Of mother earth
Awake

Defy this asceticism and prostrate
For your ultimate destiny
Lies not in the dogmatic 
Steady march along beaten footpaths

Hungry earthworms
These reminiscences of plaintive cooing
They do not placate
Those dethroned, deprived spirits
Of...

Premium Member Make Us Weep For More
Why is digital form always binary functional?
asked the student of bilateral self-surmise.
Why is polynomial information
always binomially self-reflective?
asked the student 
of Me/We synergetic surprise.

Because analogical function
evolves bilateral virtuous
and invidious comparison,
double-bound as negative
with dipolar positive comparisons
evolving future...

People who crave as much leaping as birds
Those who are angry and seem to be furious
And those with a vulture's appetite for wealth
Drawn ones react similarly to owls when lured
Prideful people gird themselves akin to...

Premium Member Palatable Conversations at Night
We, 
with the geometry and evening 
balance of our midcentury hands—gently 
lower the cloche over the day between us. It is a 
nightly ritual, gravity-driven, habit built over time, the glass 
encasement marred by scars,...

Calmness wasn't expected today by my overwhelmed spirit marveling,
I spot linden's branches with their yellow flowers brightly floating
as ships lost at sea; from which river did they come from?
Did someone break them off or was...

Unlimited Mercy
Unparalleled beauty 
as a sky illuminated by a lusty moon
whenever God is revealed by lucidity;
many are the luminaries that magnify:
and all He created by a spoken word...
such was the creation of our magnificent world!
If that...

Love As I Love and Throw Nothing Away!
It took me more than a long journey...

and thinking it over:  it has been so worthwhile;  
so love as I love and  throw nothing...

The Gilded Silver Jubilee Peg
I insisted the jubilee amiability
to stir up with twilight-ed spirit
zeal of desires aroused 
as the silverly rays crowned me
to pour out the gilded spirit.
Earstwhile crimson years
With some bichrome days
My glazed tumbler seems to reflect
those moments

And As Ambiguity Leads To Anguish
Ambivalence amends itself 
when ambition challenges the amoral freedom
like the ambrosia we partook of,
something prohibited to humans...
that only the mythological gods
had the pleasure to enjoy;
and we adorn our heads with narcissus,
defying our worthless repulsion...
until we...

See No Evil
See No Evil
 
Let not your vision be distorted by the green eyes
of jealousy that raises its invidious ugly head,
overflowing with cynical thoughts,
slithering like a serpent into visceral minds,
hiding like a virus in crepuscular crevices,

An Envied State
Envy eats at my eager overtone.
Airing aspirations of me alone.
Resenting ruse, requiring need.
Festering famine, for you I feed.

Covet creation, I crave carelessly.
Desiring deeply, damn fearlessly.
Greedily grasping for others gain
Invidious intrusion, idly insane.

Spitefully starving, stalking prey.
Jealously...

Wait Death
Wait Death

When in a hurriedly hurricane
An egg expounding hope
Slips, falls and cracks open
The mother bird stands helpless
Shall she weep for a child to come?
As if the invidious kite has done
The evil she witnesses

When a green...

Semblance
Your crisis of conviction
Of the ages and the aging
Left me a bereft,
stupid, scarred leaf  --
Trembling, weathered, soliciting 
something of a haven from 
Graver monsters still.

That I gave you 
So much tarp on which to...

Alone,
gazing as far as the heart can see,
down a narrow, inviting road
to a place where I would rather be.

How brisk the steps,
how caliginous the night,
how solemn the wrongs,
before the feeling’s right.

Moving blindly
trusting fate, 
endless empiric
