Long Waveless Poems

You Have The Power

My youth was evaporating, I needed to go back 
to my doctor, run towards his clinic which 11 
years ago I stood at that door, helpless, bloody, 
lost, angry, vindictive, and alone,...

So! Now then begins thy fearful
Straits
As scourged by cruel, licentious 
Birch
Thou whilst surely delate:-
All that now is...
And all that has gone before,
All you once were...
And are now no more!
For liken to the widening socket
That doest...

The pilot formally announced
the desired cruising height was reached.
At three hundred and forty knots
the plane flew like a cruise missile.

As I peered out of my window 
above cotton cumulus clouds
such stunning sights of serene scenes...

An individual of incredible talent
played his violin with a joy so opulent;
he achieved greatness on his own
and his gladness was proudly shown!

The maple violin was given to him as a gift from an early age,

Helplessness seeks help in despondency
When resources slip out of porous hands
A tacit realization of innate inadequacy
Devours the dregs of impaired self-esteem.

The feeling sinks in the pool of pale psyche
Averse however to breathe the air of...

We Look For Holy Moments, 
And In Looking, Overlook

Moments Blessed And 
Filled With Things
From Mountains We Once Shook.

Small Events Unfolding, 
Each One Smaller, Briefer Still.

As Cavernous Creases 
We Call Brains, 

Migrations Fill.
Spark-lit Seconds 

Speak For...

Hand in hand glued I walk with you
I am a waveless sea without you
I am a honeyless bee without you
I am a rootless tree without you

		You are my fate a true soulmate
		I am a feelingless...

When the surreal dream of the sun highlights the waveless rive
The echo of peaceful nature fills the space
Life convenes together in adoration for the Nymph
I will come to thee
You are a beautiful spirit, a lustrous...

"Call me June."
Her voice is like fragile glass
Hand outstretched, fiery smile
Ivory skin smoother than a waveless sea
Her infinite charm is all I could see. 

"June May,"
I laughed, she shifted
Close to me, skin to skin
Her ebony...

The blackbird wants to sing a song.
What song?
A song of freedom
But its fragile beak is tied.

The blackbird lives on the Island. 
Where the Aubrey's tongue 
Is tonged with coal.
And black veil worn upon her head.

When...

Everybody says that forgetting
the one we loved is unfair, cruel, and silly; 
don't attempt to bury recollections under rocks,
and instead of burning them completely,
express bitterness for a sad ending...
although the fervent sentiment never stops!

Search for...

TITANIC      ENEMY

None bigger on the sea they say, 
Or more beautiful night and day.
Shape immense and gracefully topping
The waves with purpose unstopping.
In a hurry, appointment with fate.
Big as a castle,...

Charming chiseled wonder white
On marble of the brightest blue;
In perfect painting I delight,
And long to be above with you –

To sail the skies on wily wisps of breeze,
And take on softly sifting pow'dry shapes;
To float...

“ETHIOPE RIVERSIDE”
[BY OHWOJEVWE ESE GANIYU]

How come
We once paddled our canoe
Along river Ethiope
And nobody saw us
Come and go
Till tides come
When sweet memories
Of Ethiope riverside
We cannot remember 
Is it those delta bitches
At the river motel
It is those...

Drifting in a memory
of rolling distant hills
stretched out like a waveless ocean of green
the sun blazing way up high 
In the stillness of a languid sky
 
Wandering in the dusty thoughts
of dried up ponds and...

Your green eyes, O! how they haunt me, 
You daughter of Persephone, you angel of night,
Whose silence bleeds mine heart, whose very sight
Entangles my limbs in a web, unfree
Without thee. Your cloudy visage I cannot...

Bright skys that aren't always blue.
Warm air that's passing thourgh.
It's so wonderful here.
Cuz i am so high off the ground.
I wonder if i will ever come down.


Beautiful, relaxing, waveless beaches.
With sand so soft.
That it's like...

chiseled by the mood,
my tongue stand stood
no words are made;
silence moved to invade

time passed by
but the clock seemed to die
hovering this duration
killing my population

motionless, with a crippling posture
''..still alive.'' for that Im sure.
only my murmuring...

Amid sand dunes look around for faces
on roads and streets, through spectacles
eyes dwell on the sky, trees, and birds
albino clouds set sail as if to merge
the fecundity of green leaves, blink eyelids
as the bright sun...

In the dead of night she came without a sound,
The darkness brought shadows to her eyes,
With a haughting gait she wore a mourning gown,
Honey sweetened words was the perfect disguise,

Heart in hand without any utterance...
