Long Reaffirmed Poems

American Thanksgiving (1621)

Passengers in England boarded the Mayflower
To sail across the Atlantic to the New World,
And escape religious persecution for their faith
In worshiping God, which they believed to be righteous,
With separation of God and King,...

The earth slips into a deep sleep
all beneath its surface now dormant
sleepy animals curled up in their dens
soon to fall into the sleep of hibernation
all now slowed down awaiting the snows
trees now denude of their...

I progress from my regress far back behind the rest
Steady Improvement is the Chief Aim
So many are the years I wasted trying to be
	...what the society wanted me to be
I?ve retraced my steps to where...

it began so innocently
we exchanged ideas on poetry
his art, the suffering he endured
he preyed upon my compassion
as he meticulously bided his time...

i felt safe as we expressed
our mutual love of words
i was excited, i was...

Here, this day, on this inglorious
Field
Thy vain struggles will count no
Valour.
All hope now abandoned,
Imminent defeat unconcealed;
Erstwhile countenance display 
Such waxen, languid pallor.
Surround by your dwindling 
Forces
Ye will but sadly find...
That the stout keep of your...

Many moons ago the island was born
spewed up in a volcanic eruption
it was perfectly formed out of rock
five nautical miles from the mainland

A barren isle with no life on it
visited sometimes by birds and seals
over...

Our God is a moving He never sits still
He's always has something happening but it's only at His will
Hold on it's coming God will restore
Hold it's coming God says just endure

On that day God will...

I must have slept to be able to wake
My physical pains dissipate as I now shift to find comfort 
My heart sends trembles to my lips
This is not an easy day
Yesterday brought new frailty concerns,...

Oh of Isis love lament
Raging against Ra’s morning light
Where could the time have went
Racing through the desert night

And by the gods of Karnak
We bow to let their power in
And make a solemn promise
To return time...

I knew you were someone very special
When I embraced your lovely smile today
I knew because of its perfect beauty
I wanted more moments like this to stay

Filling my day with an enchanting beauty
Making my former thoughts...

The black in me is hungry
Always seeking more,
She wants to hunt the bad ones
Bring justice for the lore.
Though most can’t understand this
Part of me and free,
When spurned I burned and reaffirmed 
The deadly black in...

She came and 
Kissed me today
But still
My gaze
Was locked
She reaffirmed
My being
Human
Here
It gave me courage
Strength
Purpose
Where there seemed
None of
Being
Human 
Here
I am a rich man
As I have more
Than all
But it doesn’t
Make me feel happy
Just a bit sad of
Being...

When I eventually died 

And was medically pronounced dead 

What remained of my body after I was dead 

Had to be disposed of eventually 

Cremation and burial being the only real

2 currently viable available options

The...

(8/17/12)

Always looking at the clock, wondering about the hour
Never stopping to smell the flowers.
There was a time that life was at a slower pace
Now it seems we’re always in a race.

The one thing that I...

She did smile

And i then gushed

Like only a father can

Giving her hand away

On her wedding day

30 year's of mind

Yet only at the age of 5

Placed inside a foreign language
school without a single word
to speak or...

Our Revolution sought limitations
On imposition of regulations,
But supplications met deprecation
And castigations not reformation.

Such condescension sparked protestation
And contemplation of separation;
This supposition stirred apprehension -
A premonition of confrontation.

But, declamations and remonstrations
Spurred agitation toward Declaration,
While provocations and deprivations
Steeled...

NGBOEJEOGU THE NEGLECTED SON

With a lamp hanging on the thatched wooden kitchen 
I stared on the pot on fire as it boils hot ready for garri
I got lust in taught and my head shaken 
This...

I place
My head down
Physical sight close
Another eye opens
The duality of my existence 
Reaffirmed  reaffirmed
Images images
Swirling swirling
Consciousness
Buffeted buffeted
By the enormity 
of it all
Faces faces
Places places
And the 
Silence silence
Of it all
Oh
What am I to make
Of it...

Saint Francis of Assisi, (name at birth was Giovanni)
had a way with mother nature that to all seemed quite uncanny.
His voice alone would bring the birds to settle at his feet
and listen to his sermons,...

as I wait my turn
the noisy crowd seems hungry
I close my eyes, poised

I think of my wife
and hope for a miracle
I hold the short straw

a young man enters
you will fight the best, I see
you have...

The mist swirls through the deep vale
shifting slowly and giving glimpses
of the lush vegetation and flowers.
Slowly it dissipates in dawn's sunlight.

Teasing as it lazily drifts 
showing for a brief second
a colourful bank rife with flowers.
Then...

How sweet the sorrow
How deep the void 
We go on with one less tale of footprints in the sand beside us. 
With wishful eye is cast memory’s glance to those prints found falling forever behind,...

It is more profound 
Than one might surmise.

Is it fate, karma...is it providence?
What has determined the date and time?...

That very moment
We make our grand entrance...

Into this world? 

And to revisit the date 
A self-imposed holiday...

As...

The way you speak to me
Is the way I allow
But that is over now
The front is over
I’ve played that part out

The way you speak to me
Is refreshing yet cold
Do you see that I’m getting off...
