THE CHIMNEY
The once fine air, refreshens with dust
Between the village horizon and crest
Since the sailing of a death chemical chimney.

Young green plants seedlings growing on slope
Are left to sip these  carcinogenic dusts, sapling
And entwined...

…And the obscurity ever so profound…
Stuffing a new-born with apprehension…
Nebulous prophecies it recites…
As my prospect begins to diminish…

The ravens soaring high above…
As fatality becomes the conqueror…
And he dwells in the deep murk…
When the wolves discard...

It’s okay to be nervous
But there’s no need to fight
When colors flow inside of shapes 
You have taken flight
Directions will be pointed 
But you’re flying much too high
Caterpillars may inhale smoke
But eat plants to Butterfly...

Mother told a story yesterday 
of how poets die in black penury 
she said I won't be a pretty poet
as my dreams dance on my ink
"Poets are mirror of deceit and pain
craving beyond the debris...

I can't believe I thought that.
In the shadows of my soul the whispers lingered. It murmured and elegantly sat massaging my last ego in the stool of regrets. My being was lied to, stomped at,...

Call me Chinua Achebe from  dead,
Take me home to Wole Soyinka' bosom 
Bundle me to John Clarks at his castle;
They infected me with this madness,
Madness of words that get me focus.


I have been stripped...

stars slowly diminish
darkness completes
still we feel the suffers of heat
the fever suspends in the thick
a velvet’s texture mix
clinging to skin as if drowned
dawn flexes, stretches and surrounds
as the last of struggling stars obscound
sunlight strikes without...

Love is an infinite definition of how the mind, body, and soul work collectively for the greater good of the heart. Love is not an emotion; nor a feeling. It's justification that in this crazy...

Agape brain, there is a deep abyss, dull and endless.
But, I'm falling, acquiring whatever may be blessedness.
Conversely, there is only a void, and I am doomed.
Daily life's pull resembles a tornado baiting my wound.
Even though...

the blinds die and end of story,
 There is no story...What to talk about?
when there is nothing to talk !!
Keep the silence for the flowers.
and "The smell of lilies and Fridays
And as a target ...

Vials of stolen waters are sweet
To the drunkard who drinks 
As if he has not drank
Who inside is like bottled up wine
Pouring new wines into an old wine skin
Though he must vent, ready to burst
He...

The sun danced along joyfully
The moon clapped beautifully 
The breeze swung here and there
The stars came singing of hope,
The oceans, the rivers and the sand
Gathered in the field to watch nature.


When you go home do...

I have played drums
I have played Premier England
Right here in our land
I have played Tamar Drums
I have played talking drums
I have played conga
Yes I have played drums
With every drums come different feelings
The feelings that can...

A lot of praise and admiration,
Kisses
on my forehead
pecks
on my cheeks
I got when I was a wind-bud of innocence
one by one the drops of rain
blown away
by the bankrupt wind
the full pant
drew a lot of curiosity and...

The Arsenic Sunset

Eden now knows what it meant
When corruption took flesh as a 
Serpent—
For all things alien
Narrow to a tendril
A twist of black sap
A rune of bloody syrup against tissue-paper tides
Winking crudely among the starved...

It tells of a borrowed joy counted in scores,
A night without love but embraces many
A canopied broken heart by the seaside' insanity
It tells of words championed by a fearless faith.


Poetry has many stories to tell...

Anarchy is witnessed, 
Strategy is called for,
Youthfulness is called upon,
Execution is on the roll.

Motivated by materialism,
The conscience is sold out
Indiscipline rules willfully, and
Fear is the air to breathe.

Scenes of violence all over
Generated by the “gods”
Yes,...

Your eyes that  foretells danger,
soulful charisma that boils my blood stream.
your walk on the valley of darkness.
way you are talked about, but unaware.

your really bad lip kiss, that's perfect for my life.

Shall I say I have known the arms already—known all
I don’t need the eternal note of sadness before I believe you...

I’ve walked in the night-wind with its roar
carried dreams on the back on this darkling...

Always on a razor’s edge
In the loony cage
Now opening this window
Now closing that
Now busy at this arrow
Now tackling the aching marrow


For the sweet bones moves the cat
The wolf seeks to shift
From old veins to a...

If faith can move mountains, let prayer
reconstruct the landscape of out lives.
All the obstacles of people's misery
and a more fulfilling life can be
rock scale climbed and surmounted.

The surface of the mountain's rocks
could be jagged and...

Happiness, is overrated.
It is an experience one seeks for
To find the souls true intent.
One step forward,
Can be directed to pain, and humility.
BUT, when in the desirable direction,
Freedom from suffering ,
Emerges.

When near happiness,
A sense of relief...
