Long Memorise Poems

A colourful array of falsehoods

an empty ink-pot says to the rain-water 
you are beautiful

Lungs like burnt paper—
folded too many times
by hands that forgot
how to be gentle.

Morning comes with wires.
He wears machines like
second lungs,
ghosts that sleep beside him
and hum.

Each breath is an audition.
He performs survival
on a stage made of...

_Conviction Office,_

Dear You,

*UNTIL* *I* *OPENED* *UP*

I think I'm open
In the sense that i Outwardly Portray External Nonsense
Oh yes! I'm OPEN!
But what about the inside?
I thought by portraying my external nonsense,
I might be liked by all...

Whilst at school, in the years gone by, when as a child,

Impish I was, and sprightly too, but not so sure of my mind;

Followed the old teacher’s dictum, “memorise by rote,

To succeed in life”, she...

a way for them to see
the riddle that makes them smarter

Lingering  will it be in our memories
As we memorise the memorable
Memoir of the memorial
Of  Dele Giwa

A letter engraved in a Bomb
Plucked away our prolific 
And dogged pen pusher

There is a place I simply love
one which is simply so wonderful
sits on southern point of English lakes
Grange-over-Sands is my hidden jewel

It's a lovely quiet dear place
not many shops or amenities to view
but nice lake...

If only I had known I’d never hear your voice again 
Or hear you whisper sweetly in my ear 
I'd memorise each word of love you ever said to me 
So when I'm all alone,...

Sometimes I forget
I seek reason under the cracks
of the dried grounds
that used to puddle

that I too can love
So we live in different times

So: thinker, “personality” and actor
	are looking for a drink.
If two of them are trailers, one’s a tractor.
“Nice counter-top. Real zinc?”

“Don’t ask them stuff. They memorise words
	of better men, to spout ’em!”
“And his type feels the...

My Heart Sighs for You
One glorious day you drifted this way 
and life was ne'er going to be the same 
It was early spring, hearing bluebirds sing
in fervent sun rays that’d burnished for days.

We walked...

How could so many children
be so emotional and deadly
to say so many bad statements
and still be mentaly steady
barely be alive and
cross the line already
How could another 
person look you in the eyes
smile and whisper

Love at first sight
When I met you for the first time I got goosebumps
That moment I found myself dumb
My eyes were amazed and my heart was beating fast
Your beauty made my mind blast
Your  blue...

We may have won the battle, but they never fought the war.

we are living in a rose tinted nation, 
Trying to live up to our own declarations.
Avoiding participation in our own rehabilitation.
Yet we still choose...

Is the world moving a little too fast?
We ain’t exactly following naturally along
Engiven of unnatural timelines to past
Have we what it takes to feel belong?

Too little time, woes, strife on toe,

MY GRANDPARENTS

I'm lucky
That with God's grace, 
I enjoy the privilege
To have with me
My loving grandparents.

Sixteen my son
When I suffer from deep nostalgia, 
Long long back

A pair of benevolent faces
With smiling panacea.
