friend of...

We embarked on an adventure
That was quite quixotic
A scientific dream quencher
Searching for exotics

We started where we thought made sense
Out on the sunning docks
Where perhaps there’d be an immense
Native Great White Butt Ox

We packed all of...

Through the eyes of a color-blinded
As it shines and comes down from the heaven
Taming the raging cry of the storm, as to brindle…It down

My seasoned Iroko
The Olumo rock
Of my spine
The one who climbs
Mount Kilimanjaro 
With one step
I salute you

Mother,
Who fearlessly tames fiery furnace
With bare...

His brown eyes filled me with carnal delight;
We exchanged amorous glances-  exciting.

The repository of events from happier days.

Poetry is a thirst-quencher 
I look forward to my daily cup
It rehydrates my parched spirit
Attenuates the bitter taste of life
Every sip, I savour 
As I see poetry everywhere 
In everything 
In Toronto's tall buildings,
