Where you bound today of mystifying  days?
Can you hear me through that enigmatic fog?
Your Milky Way incarnate hyper trance phase.”

"Transport Terminals" 

When ghosts find ghosts
they walk through the 
core of each other 
expecting knowledge 
of the other’s being
it’s surprising mirrors
are considered 
transport terminals
eerily reflective
otherworldly portals
between there 
and here
past, present, future
managing the transfer
easily

but it's never...

(A lone voice whispers)

Will you
Come all

Yes,
Yea and dance

For
In the deepest woods
In that old
Woodland grove

Something stirs

An electric emotion
Consuming the very air

Can you feel
Its pulse
And all consuming
Power

Would you attend as
An invited guest
With me
And dance

Go wild
And let your...

And put on a smile,
Let me courtesy and bow...
“Name’s Charlie”
“Welcome to my desire factory!”
Let your own mind illuminate
Rest of the journey,
Chocolates are obsolete,
My factory now reads
Your deepest desires!
So what you...

Winter Fantasia.

Snowman, his coat a trillion frosty threads...crotched by Jack,
the naughty mischief maker. 
Each crystal cast perfect by Boreas.                ...

TRAUMA
anxiety
  feeling
  unprepared
yet resilient
&very blessed

hybrid
of naturalistic
 fantasy
elaborate
sequences

 compelling
but
fascinating
warm
& captivating

 accepted

incredible
 meaningful
creativity

a beautiful

imagination
into
 fearless

experience
from
chaos
of anger
&rage

to
the
 idiosyncratic
&
 unique
BLUSH
so elusive
gradually
 emerge
from
 scattered locations
  otherwise
unknown

 light
as parchment
the delicacy
 of nature
swirling
wayward
 & abrupt

white
 materialise
 like a vision
every
 nuance
natural

below
 & beyond
in
 disorientating
dimensions
 about
to be gone

lies
the  bizarre
&coarse
 glimmering
 out
of nowhere
against
a hazy
 darkness
in
appearance
&
 so expressive

November falls, leaf blown and drab with early twilight; 
did I in some haste to feel the Summer balm 
speed acceleration of the old main drag, 
burn youthful currency as a hated flag? 
I stand...

if you can capture the moment
and all its salient points
remember all the details
and recollect what happened when the dust settled
in a way that’ll keep people reading
until the very last full stop
then you should try putting...

Time to Heal
Warmth floods through me as peace descends.
Finally weekend has arrived
A time to relax and heal after a brutal week.
Cabin fever sets in. but laziness wins over.
I’ll stay home and curl up with the...

What do you do when frustration threatens to destabilise?
I tend to look for a chocolate bar of a decent size,
And wait for a new strategy to materialise.

My recent bout of frustration,
Is due to my failure...

The emergence thereof, a cycle begins
Of different forms – developing
Exceeding growth of varied rate
Conditions there to germinate

To reproduce they fertilise
New plants to materialise
Protection of the embryo
Seeds produced, equipped to grow

Soil with moisture and daylight
A season...

When will the time for me arrive
when I no longer have to strive
to fight to keep myself alive?

When will I travel land and see,
no longer bound by misery,
but free to bask in revelry?

When will my...

Consider the beginnings of a tree
this wooden bark all comes from a seed
through the years of growth to materialise
producing wood meets many a need

But not every tree reaches its goal
some are stopped, providentially split

I thought we were there
We thought we were there
We felt touching it
We could feel the weight

Our pains were gone
Our sorrows were gone
Our eyes could not believe
This was the impossible

Everything was...

Whatever has passed me by, it's winged shadow 
Cast a chill that lingers in my eyes 
And strangely feels like losing, dying or missing 
Something never chanced to materialise. 
Gone in a blink and whirlwind...

GLIMPSES

Merging the trinity

By: Erastus “Popyeny” Shipuleni
@December 2020

Not always do I get what I want,
Neither does my request materialise as requested,
Nor desire implemented as desired.

Don't ever feed the poor,
Let their yearning,
For hunger stay alive;
More the hunger, starvation,
The stronger momentum 
Of the slogans are; 
Complicate them in religion,
Race, and parity;
Give them promise,
Which don't materialise;
Is the first and last rule
Of all...
