and ouji boards
with their heart 
shaped planchettes

unanswered questions
in the woods, crackling
within the sounds of leaves
invisible dead things speaking

You ran away from home,
Because your own step-mother plotted against you.
Now you were runaway-Khan!

You chose to be a knight-errant,
Soon became a...

"Voluptuous Bullets"



In the game of Love and War
voluptuous bullets
penetrate a mouth of warm words

Lacking defence lines

"Through the Vicious Eyes of Love"



All is fair 
in love and war

or so they say;

why so 
as saints,

through gates 
that open 
unleashed pain -

then, at...

tasted like warm sunlight
toasting the tongue 
with honeyed sun 
and promises 

on a blue sky day

seeking to open words
locked inside let out
like crysallis butterflies

wet and warm, shaking, fluttering...

Segun my child! My son!
Soon, the cock will crow at dawn
And the east will showcase the sun
Soon, you will leave my home, 
To found your own
With words of wisdom, you won’t be alone.

morning brought an arcane song to my ears
i was observing the spilling of light
between the curtain and the wall
the way the light seemed to carry the dust
when my quite moment

We, savages to our desires,
chained, lips torch,    spew fire.
Our contorted faces, vengeful words, 
secret hiding places,               strike fear.

"The Authoress – The Author"




She parked Silver Lady 
by The Road's side, 
placed the keys in Her pocket

It has learnt to let...

not to play with scarlet sins
convinced my way was chartered, 
I'd be safe in holy folds
but patient, pregnant umbras came,
their membranes black and blue,
all bred at sea in countless numbers

That all is fair in love and war,
But really, how do you know,

If pain is felt 
like a windstorm, strength 
is shades of calm in between
as the years melt

off and slide, when it's understood
how good it gets when we stop 
trying to make it good.

 I became; blinded by his blaze.
Leaving me wounded and dazed,
