The picture in question, it burst with suggestion, for lines that...

A dream that came into my life
With an eye look
With a simple chatting word
With a simple hand shake
With a pure smile on the face 
This all lead my heart to shake
Out of happiness and Joy!

Sides, perspectives, religion, skin color, culture, all of the above are things that individually we all have. No matter how strongly you feel about something no one will ever 100% understand what exactly you feel...

a fire breaks out in his pants
whenever she walks into the room
but she just laughs
at how quaint he is
she has eyes only for the old man at
the end of the bar
his beat era leather socks...

Yesterday I caught the drift of a word
Almost at the end of Dr. Ram?s words
That I had it all, three in one, with music and no regrets
Stirred my mind and made me think
What regret really...

He would visit the wharf of the pond very often
Peace and joy writ large on his lips and eyes
He would whistle a tune to call the shoal of fish 
From inside the water as well...

The glimpse of something recognizable; meant seeing her, only see would be with him, and us together had been strained to exhaustion. But maybe the magic of night might give way to forgiveness and love....

So great and succulent they are; the 
grasses here in the shores of Nigeria,
pure with an umbrella of sovereignity;
I have seen the green grasses of Nigeria.


I have seen the elephant grasses at home;

It’s time to write of unnecessary things,
to imagine alternative endings to journeys not taken.

This stained coffee mug
that nudges my elbow like a muddy bible;
it has not been washed for 2 days
but I still read it...

The tearaway, youthful runaway
Running for a lifetime, blocked out
Brick wall, but, those same
Old demons stuck to your back
Demon wings like barnacles
To the hull of your iron heart
Beating under apron strings

Ever since "Daddy" left, Electra
You have...

I   came   for   a   moment
to   find   the   hidden   treasure
in   rocks   of   your ...

It’s time to write of unnecessary things,
to imagine alternative endings to journeys not taken.

It’s time to write of bits of string,
one small fake discolored Swiss Army knife,
a lucky pebble that has brought me nothing but...

Oh, lovely boy, what is it that you desire?
To incite the rage of man, and set the world afire?
Redraw the map and claim your crown?
For no pursuit is higher?
What a web of dreams you dream,

Wondering in loneliness,
Things couldn't work well,
Made top up of happiness,
Had a new soldier to repel,
From an axis of reluctance,
Marked with a leopard blood,
You meant a lot not to reminisce, 
The future holds no black cat,
Only...

The drop that was sucked this afternoon
was the last one. The sea went dry.
From the moment the hungry cat in the painting
transferred the sea into its stomach
the black and white picture turned blue.
The sea jumps...

Ignorant of God’s law, dark fear forms gnaw
bright light of soul, once aflame and aglow,
so we pause cause of thought, that we may know,
the right path to navigate life’s jigsaw.
Shifting to silence, in staid stillness...

Sitting on a mushroom she waits for colors.
Her eyes exotic, I fall into them, loving them absolutely.
Redraw her toes so many times, they should fall off by now.

I want these toes to reflect her petite...

I am looking for a blueprint for love
the one I've once felt about you.
The perfect blue paper 
that helps me figure things out 
that tells secrets about a lover's skin and sighs 
- the ones...
