Long Perfectionists Poems

Perfect love is perfection,

it must thrive beyond boundaries of my own experience
either receiving,
or giving.

Could this perfection of synergetic harmony and confluence
we have grown to love as love itself
become...

Permit me if you will to speak of 
this great obscurity called love
I am not here to preach or feed 
your preconceived clichéd ideas 
of linguistic and rhythmic words 
live above and dove.
I am here...

Let’s be honest, I’m not that honest.
Be honest, 
Just this once.
Forget all the dilutions of grandeur,
The noise.
Eat it so hard in the teeth that your mouth has a voice.
Unclench your tongue just long enough to...

Quyted (to depart from) your arms is an urge I have held on to
Qwerty language got me typing away with you for no clue (reason)
Quenched in your disqualifying love affair 
Tired of being your nightmare...

Love..........
When I think of love to define,
I can't find a substitute other than his name...
When I talk about love,

Do not mourn long, what you can't restore;
For in the sky a new star has its birth,
And in the earth more treasures wait to explore.

When two halves of two hearts
Match as a whole
Lips were made to fit
Your eyes are a reflection of yourself
You think the same thoughts
At exactly the same time
Share the same interests
Love the same movies
And songs
Enjoy the...

why are people afraid
to think?
to make mistakes,
to be
wrong?

I thought we
were supposed to
learn
from our mistakes
and become better 
people.

in my math class

because we don't 
want to be
wrong

That uses words such as ain’t
Placed in a sentence, like a sandwich
Of the word, I’ve no complaint

There be those who will not use it
No such word...

The Funeral of Tinapa,

Conference table littered with chicken and cockroach laps

A keg of palm wine descending from Adia Abo

Grabbers haggling on sharing formula
Emporiums rust and rats
Shopping mulls moaning

In a universe that is filled with faults.

Immorality is part...
