Polar Bears
Symphonic sirens serenade me from afar;
distinctive, delectable scents tickle and tantalise:
my senses awash with anticipation
as, finally, I lay eyes on my prey.
Slowly and surreptitiously,
I draw ever closer to my quarry.
Prancing and playing, oblivious to the...

Recollections of a Condemned Man - Collaboration With Robert Lindley
178 months, 129940 hours,
now only 10 minutes remain.
Sitting in cold eerie darkness,
he observes the rhythm of water drops,
slowly wipes away streams of sweat
with his withered trembling hands.
That aching fear, gnawing in his fevered brain,
spasms of...

Echoes From Niyi Osundare's Voice
The world is an egg waiting to be broken
Nothing bad should worth of a humble tears
Not even the pangs of loneliness as icy ball
Nor the fangs of self-pity as winter bears-
The tyrant was ask when...

Spain In Rain Falls
Spain in Rain Falls
There’s something different
About the rain in Spain
And being an English man
And well versed in rainfall
I should know a thing or two
About rain
It still falls horizontal
Occasionally with a side to side wiggle
But it...

Libby Morrison Finding God
i use to run around,
cause trouble when in the town,
called people loads of names,
i think back, and now ashamed,
i walked up on the wrong path,
i could not see just how bad,

Song of My Love
The song of my love is heard
It travels over Seas and mountains
Bearing cadences that make the fishes dance
It frolics over hills and oceans
With rhythms that adorn the eyes of the sun
Sniffing the...

Compendium of Nostalgia
A BACKWARD GLANCE
Alongside a Chiltern chalkstream
I lay me down to dream,
of country paths,stiles and steep slopes,
those days,long ago,filled with hope;
I dreamed of days of summer sun
when my life had just begun,
climbing trees,cricket on the green,

My Estranged Lover
Had time be for leisure,
The orchard's shade shall serve its purpose.
Were it be for the stretches of time -
Our loins shall melt in rhythm.
Had she be forgiven, this moment,
For despair...

Don'T Fear the Reaper
Black Angels search
As the world turns to grey
In soulless march
For their soulful prey
They congregate from places
Never heard of in many years
To wallow in their carnage
Spreading their demonic fears
Spirited from the underworld
The blackened depths...

Latch Key Kid
A boy sits on house steps (cement arid)
removing the crust from his egg salad sandwich
sparrows snatch the broken morsels he throws at them
laced bonds like a companionship weave

Free To Roam
Love's vibes sneered at my sunken face
And bid me to hear, booming from the
Calling clouds, that what I had idealised about
Is in fact nothing else other than figments
Of my own imagination!
I breathed in my anguish

All These Unsaid Words
Your life as a prince and mine as a pauper
What is it you want? I've got nothing to offer
In no book or song, do any words say
That loving someone could hurt in this way
Asphyxiate beneath...

This Is What I Dreamed
Nothing here is sacred.
Just pieces of history.
Patterns with no mystery.
Life's all calm.
Precious in a space with no crime.
I have so much time.
This is what I dreamed.
Something with savours of rhyme.
Dripping with flavours:
biscuits, cheese and wine.
Chocolates...

I hail each bronze, red, and blue coloured dawn,

Lizzie Lizard
At the hour of one
The housework is done
It is time to leave the nest
A sand coloured skin
She wears to blend in
Lizzie Lizard soon is dressed
At the hour of two
When dinner is due
It is time to...

Loosing All Senses
He can normally smell a rat or two especially as
They rattle their cage when leaving the ship
Tastes defeat when they have won another day
Cuddles their clever escape of untouchable glory
The scent at the food bank...

Headache
The day has been too long.
The promise of a scented dawn
Lost its fulfilment in the dazzling brilliance
Of a hot, bright sun
And the tingle of a moment’s rapture
Flowed rapidly into the throbbing pulse of insecurity.
Noon stretched...

Buhari: a Song of Praise
Thou has been our saviour,
Though we've been bewitched by different savours.
That emanate from thy armpit,
Pulling along with it,our infamous wits.
The product of your skilfulness,
Had stirred in us readiness.
To war against food stupor,
Even if indirectly we're...

Be beyond blame
Niche naughty name
Free feisty flame
Speak sensuous spice
Nurture notes nice
Pay pretty price
Rest rustic rote
Notice new notes
Voice vibrant vote
Surprise streams space
Glimpse glowing grace
Touch tensile trace
Muse makes music
Toil treats tactic
Mind moves magic
Worth words wise will
