Long Obtrusive Poems

Hiding behind a mysterious facade
As they wrongly charge me with 
blatant estimations of who I am.

Drowning in scorched tears, 
not sure about this voiceless 
and veiled existence.

Feeling displaced as they examine my
New York inflection, while...

Sometimes 
We have hall had such pleasurable idle days
Where everything becomes still and quiet 
That surrounds us 
Apart from the pleasant melodic delightful
Audible sounds and sonett I of twittering warbling fidgety birds that calm me
Perched...

Life means I can talk to my friends and others,
When the untravelled sea fills with brothers,
Pleasure rushes the uninhabited areas we just don't sail, 
And when we semiotically emit our meaning, we will prevail; 
Freedom...

Aware of my attention to her as well as my proximate presence, she went on in a steadily refined rhythm, neither upset nor uplifted, holding my slick sight at reducible ductility and scotching its sneak...

LE TRE SORELLE 


My favorite spot in Italy, and perhaps anywhere, was Ristorante Le Tre Sorelle 
in Positano. It was at the bottom of at least a hundred stone steps, just on 
the right, and...

I am alone but never lonely in the night. 
Dusk beckons from the garden. Oh, night, sweet night of mine!
My bruises fade into the ebony sky, camouflaged in twilight...
Hideous scars are obtrusive in daylight.
I shun...

 As I was about to enter the frontier of a forest
I was greeted by a Bunyan tree at the very entrance
It started talking to me in a language audible 
That could be wisely deciphered...

TODAY’S WOMAN

A column can scaffold a back that is enervated.
We as women will burden ourselves with hate.
That is we will take on another’s disintegration.
All in that business is a mess.
It becomes our plight to fix.
We...

“The inner beacon flashes in the tempestuous ocean as  
the escort in the divine course  to the final destination” – By Poet


An ancient mariner in the ocean called life,
I am sailing solemnly seemingly...

I guess I’m more accustomed to the modern sting these days;
the one that comes by e-mail or the phone.
They might hurt the pocket with the modern scamming ways -
but Mother Nature’s stings bite to the...

I shoo away 
  all my twisted creations
 (I can’t let them taint this
      With the vileness
           I spawned...

HIDDEN

I hide behind a mysterious façade as
they wrongly charge me with blatant 
estimations of who I am.

Feeling displaced as they examine my
northeast inflection, while their obtrusive
glaring resulting in false postulations.

Every encounter, I’m never able to...

Intoxicating as one may say, 
Or can be described as overpowering in a way! 
Unconditional compassion that is never wavered,
 A moment in life that one wants savored. 
God has given us this gracious instrument,...

Require the rain to reign in raising the grain.
While the umbrellas are up, don't strain.
We must persevere in the face of weather
That doesn't imply if it's freezing or hot.
And it wouldn't infer if we like...

As she stood there, waiting. 
Waiting for a sign, a reason perhaps,
I'm glued to the television, knowing 
Her world is about to collapse.

The pain in her heart, is mine
too. Her eyes all cried out, staring,
directly...

Dreaming of glamour. 
Dread of truth.
Staying locked inside.
My own dream world.
Don't make me face reality.
Donate my time to fallacies.
Treating the void of endless rifts.
Noting my verbal irony.
Drowning in my own happiness.
Doubting my own glee.
Usually, I'd...

I have lived a wonderful life truly so blessed.
So why is this unhappiness rivaling my mind.
I feel lost and abandoned within this soul.
I feel that I have lived such an obtrusive lie.
There is nothing that...

Corruption and Covid 19 both a virus raiding our planet,
Only socialism works as in Finland in Scandinavia,
Realistically corruption has bankrupted countries, quad tripled poverty
Ruined our God given bountiful earth, brought it to its knees
Utopia that...

Dad your so insensitive
You need to stop and let me live
Not controlling me anymore
Or I'll sneak right out the door
Never returning in your life
Soon I will be someone's wife
So don't treat me like a child

Parasites, these
unremembered memories
unbidden guests
made themselves at home
within my breast

And suckled in silence
‘til lifeblood waned
vitality drained
only traces remain
of who I was

Now I have become
an ungracious host
shadowy ghost
in a hollow shell
with nothing to feed
these guests’ great need

Odd...

We lived in a marvellous world
Of make-believe. What a charade!
Differences seemed to disappear
With dissimulation and deceit,
Prevarication, alienation from
Cherished ones, parents, family,
Friends! As she took the initiative,
The contorted configurations of
Her tortuous desires besieged my heart
And asphyxiated...

Only here nothing works.
We have been searching for it
For several decades we find not
Our missing but all salient light

How can you plunge us into total darkness
In a kingdom with trillions of millions of naira?
How do...

The Vulgar and the Beautiful 

By the roadside I saw a blushing flower amongst
arrogant, working class weed. It suffered greatly 
this delicate bloom which could inspire a poet
to write about the richness of nature if...

A few Minutes, a few hours, in just a few days;
You have beguiled me with your wisdom and your astute ways.

I get absorbed in these feelings, basking in your glow.
You ease my solicitous mind with...

Despite the heat and obtrusive dryness
 a morning glory or two survives.
Wrapped around the rose bush stem
 it climbs and blooms in soft gentle pink.
Over to the side nearby clinging to the stalk of a...
