Long Unsurmountable Poems

Where does the country go from here?
There’s still remnants of anger, dejection and sadness
Continuing to ponder this mental madness
Our identity of blackness is about to come to the brink
As we ponder the negative results, just...

And I am flickering flowing river which speaks
You, the graceful harmonic  hesitation of heart
And I am open elegant alive profound poem
You are divine dissolute dense darkness

In the environs of Kashmir our romance unfurled
As we sat honey eyed in our celestial world
Time had stopped running and lovingly slowed
A year had gone by and our unsurmountable joy glowed
As we held...

MINORITY NOT NONENTITY

We're the minority not nonentities
We aren't helpless persons deserving of pity and charity

Lover, touch her with a gentleness
which maker her quiver with passion;
when whispered words matter,
a delightful thought can enlighten
her sublime smile lost in happiness,
what else will she desires more than love?
Inside the fire is unquenchable,
and the...

The turbid clouds hover mountains
of fluttering maples,spruces and pines
while I am crossing those bridges of wonder,
adjoined by sturdy steel cables
that even an impetuous wind couldn't oscillate;
man's ingenuity outwitting Mother Nature...
a tuneful voice rising from a...

I prithee thee let out no pity
For I must needs be trudge in my plight
Secure my...

This heavy heart of wanderer rode
on the unremitting winds of sin...
riding on waves that only lulled
my many unsurmountable fears
and with no wings to hold me up,
I couldn't notice I was drifting past hope;
the distant sun...

The tapestry of the indigo sky,
weaved with the strips of silver cloud, 
merges with the still sea in the blues.
The dislodged boulders strewn as dry debris,
away from the waterfront of desire,
symbolize my broken dreams.

The anchorless...

Can You Can a Comment

There are only certain things that are allowed
To happen all by yourself or in a big crowd
Like poems I have been writing as of late
On them having the power to concentrate.

Worriers Sink, Warriors Shine
- By Aare Tunde Dawood-Akerele

Let's exempt the death
Worry is for the living
Who has cases to win
Challenges to surmount
Fears to conquer
Aspirations to achieve
Failure to escape, 
Success to record.

To worriers, life is hellish
Every issue...

It was a romantic endeavor
this quest for vaporous ridges,
as an adventurous spirit crested
already reaching dizzying altitudes,
short of vital breath & intensely high,
yet, there was no returning as the
summit was a mere birds-eye view,
it was the...

What would my life have been today,
Without you Lord to show me the way.
You are a loving God who always cares,
And removes all my worries, doubts and fears,
You  lift me up from my complacency,

Mutilated mind constructs the precinct of recluse
Encasing the stifling loneliness of sad prison
Languishes there the surrendered psyche.
Agony unsurmountable relentlessly
Negates the positive perspective of hope
Cauldron of dissonance remote from the rhythm of the outside
Hollowness inside filled...

Mountains be removed

Mountains were meant to be moved
They are much too heavy to carry
You can not wrap a rope around it and drag it with you
Sometimes too tall to look over
You can maybe climb over...
