Long Unfaded Poems

Startling as the rise of the moon
On autumn’s twilight, beautiful as June
still breath of joy, falling like stars
silent truths…

stunning as the august wind
warming to the touch, grace descends 
music in glorious praises, a maze
reflecting the...

Inspired by Glenn Hughes song "Why don't you stay"


The sparkling dawn veneers 
my heart’s horizon with hues,
spreads the sunburst tinges 
of my timeless yearning,
paints gold garden in heart’s canvas, 
blooming with luster of my love,	
unfurls...

I turn and run down to the wet places where fawns remedy  their 
thirst from the waterbrooks.  Panting, I fall to my knees and gather buttercups, 
crowsfoots, hellebore and peonies and grind the...

My sword is gilded, raised and poised for glory. My voice rises over the noise. I am the...

Destiny, an unseen lamp, hidden somewhere,
someone lighted for you when you had arrived.
You don’t perceive, it sheds a beam of glare,
and the ordained light travels unfaded,
illumines your pathway during the time allotted,
you get for the...

A beach ball stuck in the rafters of the pool,

Nkporo, my wonderful Nkporo,
The land of great hills and mountains.
Nkporo, my Nkporo, whom my mother dance of,
Father died to pretect you from the Iboms.
I have not fosaken you because your
Blood flows right in my veins.

"When words become unclear I shall focus with photographs.
When images become inadequate I shall be content with silence."

A photograph with you in collage I found in old album,
the treasured snapshots of...

Unfaded colors of years enwrap you with grace,
like a leaf tinged by twilight you glow on birthday.
I float on reverie, encircling you on wings of zephyr, 
I write this pulsating poem of heart just for...

Do others often ask themselves, 
" Are there days without darkness...
when another storm shows fierceness?
Has hope dimmed for selfish reasons? "

And the living pay little attention to events,
although they grin and appear to be perplexed;

Everyone is intelligent
Of this, histories are reminiscent
You know something I don't
And I too have something to front
Then comes the flowery ideal of the idealist
To be straight-faced by the reality of the realist
And you wonder as...

Big Bang’s unfaded sound echoes in the universal core 
In eternity the divine light transformed into matter
Material entities remember the hymn of yore
Resonating with the melody of the creator.

Everything born embeds the waves of primal...

In the twilight hour we are by the window
Open to the horizon hues
And to the brushing breeze,
See the sky shimmer with the last glow
Of the setting spent sun,
Its flickering flare floods your face
Now flushing with...

Enchantment of magic’s sweet passion has bound me
With minutes and hours I now must reclaim;
Spellbound, love calls to the spirits around me
And drifts into dreams at the sound of his name.

The breath of his memory...

The unfaded image of rustic keyhole
One that is untouchable, invisible to others
My mind's twitching
Tense, locking the figure

One, two, three..
Counting my fears endlessly
I need to see, things that you keep them from me
That hatred that you...

The journey began from the blue hills afar on the river called youth,
in the rolling vale it meandered in all directions from north to south.

In the flow of ardor we floated holding each other’s hands...

of many great leaders

who never sleep while others slept

An imprint of you remains,

mingled in the blood racing through my veins,


hewn into my flesh you stay,

a chiselled tattoo from our long-lost yesterday,


deeply branded by your entire being,

rooted to a memory incapable of fleeing,


torn, and...

DIVINE-MOORING
Brouhaha filled, I am left with an obscure mind
Many things in life unfair I find
Berserk my soul went
Solitude fermented my present.....
Then, I was a gullible but had around a huge company...
For I silently agreed and...

In the backyard garden
I grew a mélange of flowers,
but the one that bloomed with gleam 
beneath the shower of moonbeam,
you cherished the most, I remember. 

Your favorite flower, Rajanigandha, 
you wore in curls around your...

How I love 
All of you
The myriads of poppy flowers,
Such amazingly have flourished
For one or two day of May
on green and fresh hills of Birke.

How I want to say
I never forget all of them
And keep...

What I’d like to give you,
is an ounce of my perfume,
as you saunter away through the haze
of my fragrance wrapping you in fervent film.

What would then remain with me though,
is the sea of innate redolence...

I want this night to last forever
Heaven is just around the corner
waiting for me at the gates of tomorrow

But right now are our last moments
till heaven, when we will meet again
we will begin where death...

Captured, beautiful thoughts

indescribable, breathtaking

indelibly branded to mind

enduring, unfaded

carefree summer days

swimming the cobalt ocean wilderness

rainbow fish, bioluminescent

purple, pink, orange coral cays

shimmering crystal waters

invigorated youth

heart skipping beats

crushing on you, following around

tantalizing flames lick along

my mind as I...
