“I wear the chain I forged in life,” replied the ghost,
“I made it link by link, and yard by yard; I girded it on
of my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it.”

— Marley in Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol




“Why is the rum gone?”

“True enough, the compass does not point North…
it points to the thing you want most in the world”

— Jack Sparrow, Pirates of the Caribbean





f a m o u s for w-h-a-t



what’s friendship, when famous —

drip drip drip of diamonds
gold that clamors and clangs

      like a Marley ghost

(the knockers froth)

a revolving door, an arrow
          North
West
                    East
           South

Cupid’s conundrum—
a whirring compass,
C-a-p-t-a-i-n Sparrow’s

birds spinning on a clothesline
dropping sans five and dime
w-a-s-t-i-n-g your time

in a party b-u-s  t
white powder
angel dust

silk stockings posing on seats
                    s-m-e-l-l-s of feet

hair tossed like a Caesar salad
jaded olives, glitter dressing

and who w-o-n your underpants

nothing left underneath…

In My Dream . . . (For Hon. Ali M.O Ayodeji)

The dream was of me
I dreamt off me in my dream
It was fearfully dreadful a dream
Long ago was the day of my last dream
Before the dream that came knocking on me
Startled still, as I opened up myself  for it
Then comes the dream in a dreamy toga.

They were many of them gathered
Gathered only in one accord accordingly
Like the disciples of Jesus Christ of the then  
In front of a room just like the upper room
Some in their usual ape-like suite with a tie
Others  in Babariga ;Ankara ; Damask ;Lab coat 
Pretending to be engrossed with something
Giggling with a mischievous stern look.

In one accord they all nodded cynically
Mimicking no one but the Agama lizard
It was of me they discussed endlessly
Still refusing to leave the only path 
That leads to the other world of light
From the darkness we were plunged into
They scornfully displayed the key before me 
It was the key to the other world of light.

Tiredness suddenly zoom off me 
As I regain my strength to continue to
Force my way out, off the men who held sway
For several moons only in darkness in a garden
Meant to be of light en-route knowledge.
Alas! My freedom came like a proverbial thief
The king of the jungle only in the dark.

For the misfit mistaken as men in our garden of light
They were swept off the ground, nurtured, captured 
And ruptured  into the dustbin of history,
As I regain freedom from the shackles of their fiefdom,
I shared the dream of me with other dreamers
That was me in my dream.

~Mountains~ 
(Double Choka) 


Over the mountains 
Sun shines in all its splendor 
Beautiful trees stand out tall 
Birds assemble there 
Eagles soar right to the top 
Wild flowers covers the ground 

Blue mountains stand grand 
Deers and bears roam all around 
Eyes can't get enough nice scene 
All trees seem to glow 
You can feel God's loving touch 
Breathe in enjoy all the view.

~Moonglow~ 
(Rictameter) 



My Love 
Heart for you beat 
I see beams of moonglow 
You're my one and only true love 
My heart  belongs to you and there's magic 
Darling when I think of you and 
Each time I see the moon 
I dream of you 
My Love

~Author's  Notes:

 The " Rictameter" is a very popular invented poetry  form or style that just popped up on the internet in the last decade. No one seems to take credit as the source. 
The  "Rictameter" has  a scheme similar to the Cinquain poetry form or style.

so, who is not dishonest,
    right from the word go?
   who put the I before promise?
it was you because I said so... from the word go 
       when I was nearly a child
 you were almost a baby
it is not time that decides
      you don't get to play me... almost a baby  
                                              almost a baby

          now as the world divides
        and it's all forks and knives
              now I live a thousand lives
           All of them tainted, I'm tainted

standing tall in my shade 
 you were almost a baby
ne'er had call to be afraid 
        Well, not until lately... almost a baby 
when I was nearly a child
 a'playin' knock-a-door-run
          s'bold, gentle and wild
      Now where has that boy gone?... knock-a-door-run
                                                        knock-a-door-run

          we are now civilised
       I'm the creative one
              devising alibis 
         and I am going, I'm gone, I'm wasted

when I was nearly a child
 you were almost a baby

BACK IN THE LAB IN THE SIXTIES 
WHEN LSD WAS ALL THE RAGE. 
GENETICALLY MODIFIED BEINGS 
APPEARED ON THE PREVIOUS PAGE. 
OUT ON THE RANCH ON MONSANTO 
A ROUND-UP OF SHEEPLE BEGAN. 
THIS MY FRIEND IS A STORY 
OF A VERY SECRETIVE PLAN. 
TO ALTER THE HUMAN FREQUENCY 
A GOAL SPACE ALIENS HAD IN MIND. 
TO CREATE A HUMAN ZOMBIE 
OVER A DISTANCE OF TIME. 
TIME IS MEASURED IN DISTANCE 
WHEN YOU THINK AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT. 
TO CREATE AN ENTIRE UNIVERSE 
IS POSSIBLE OVER NIGHT. 
GENETICALLY MODIFY ORGANISMS 
IS TO ALTER THE D N A. 
ALIEN ASSISTED EVOLUTION. 
IS A THEORY AS WE SAY
CREATING A HUMAN ZOMBIE 
IS SCIENCE AT ITS BEST. 
CONTROLLING THESE BREATHING CREATURES 
IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TEST. 
ONCE WE PERFECTED CLONING 
EVERYTHING FELL INTO PLACE. 
GENETICALLY MODIFIED BEINGS 
WERE SENT INTO OUTER SPACE. 
GALAXY UNIVERSITY STUDENTS 
TOOK PART IN THE INVESTIGATION. 
OUTER SPACE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS 
WERE PART OF THE OBSERVATION. 
GENETICALLY MODIFIED BEINGS, 
RETURNED FROM OUTER SPACE. 
AS GENETICALLY MODIFIED SOLDIERS 
WHO CONTROL THE HUMAN RACE. 
THE MODIFIED OR HUMAN ZOMBIE'S, 
WHO WERE ONCE CONSIDERED PEOPLE. 
ARE NOW ROUNDED UP IN CAMPS 
AND OTHER WISE  KNOWN AS SHEEPLE.
