Ancient Greek and Roman Epigrams I

as white virgin fibres,
in your onyx 
field of ravens.

As if the music had wings
but the notes dripped with tears.
Speaks of everything he's loved
and everything he fears.
His fingers, they dance,
Speak of torture and romance.
With a glance
from askance
frozen in stance 
I'm enraptured .
I'm held in...

Feelings of my heart, pouring like a foss
To the queen goddess of Pothos and Himeros
Before her alluring reflection I’m nak’d
My bones, flesh consum’d and spirit possess’d
With a fuddled heart fallen out of ease
Drunk of love...

More troubles; we would all perish!
More sorrows; we would all vanish!
More agony; we would all died!
More misery; the tears would flow more!
No one to fix our circumstances in the...

Temptation is hypocritical
It paints a picture that imitates a screensaver
Draws you towards its perfect lies
Caught in the battle of right and wrong
How good it felt, when I held your hand temptation
All your promises I kept

My heart....
Beats at the sound of freedom
Leaps from the chains that bond me
Creeps from the person that has me 
Captive
In chains 
Tied to a fiction
But acceptance to reality
Tourtured
Humiliated
Scared 
Tied
I try to escape
The sunlight so close
The...

For 3 days I've moved very lazy and slow

Plenty to do but no motivation to go

Her grateful kiss moistens the dawn, raised arms embrace the sun.
A light like fire burns for all time, a new day has begun.
When Sunday morning’s church bell chimed, brisk steps tapped with the song.

My friend and my foe
Enmeshed from head to toe
A deamon’s prison ingested
The deeper fall I go

Prisoned by the evil
Surrounded by the haze
The viscous cycle created
Continues like a maze

Lost and found again
I think I’m free from...

Africa, 

Upon this vantage pedestal I see you, 

i gaze from this hollow quest, 

away from the home of my ancestors, 

a sojourner for a time, 

I yearn, 

to tread again the beautiful climate of...

Heck, you asked for it
The base in a vortex locked
Crumbling with the torrid shock
Of maligned money
Bonding the world in duress
Spewing for policy cess

Who fooled you to vote
For shrivelling tax and more
Crime and crumbling of the...

It is a pity that I'm not your baby,
the fruit of your flesh and blood,
you will have provided me with such care and attention,
that nobody on the ground could imagine about.

You have nurtured me and...

I have a passion, a passion to write.
   Sometimes it’s hard and turns into fights.

With everything starving for my precious time,
   Sitting down is hard, let alone a rhyme.

But the poetry...

The Hospital Asile

Like the highway as long it goes
Like the lover's longing 
Like the winter's silence 
Like prisoned midnight and falling dawn 
Like the voyages made by Christopher 

Tube lights and window panes,
Sang the lullaby.
