HerHer,
Let's talk about her,
She's always so bright, or it's all about the sight
They way she loves, despite the other's bluffs
When someone says her name
She keeps them without any shame
One day I asked her, what does she want
Said, I have some wishes, can someone grant
To be the one, whose taken care of
As I am soft,...

Morpheus sent the vision toOneiroi
Bizarre and illogical
the successions of images
unthinking in the mind
the mixture of visual
experiences influenced by
the happening's of the
wakened world
ideas, emotions and sensations
Frustrations from the debate of
two people who believed that building
a bridge over the Cook Strait was
a good idea.
His restless mind found him trouble
he dreamed of him being on
a horse
along side a woman on
her horse
with ice-cream...

Dweller of Our HeartWithin the dark, before the day,
A golden spark will find its way;
Not borrowed light, nor fleeting flame,
But one with which the sun’s the same.
It warms the marrow, stirs the soul,
It makes the broken pieces whole;
Through weary hours, through every start,
It dwells within our beating heart.
When shadows press, it will not fade,
It stands where deepest love...

If Vulcan WakesIf Vulcan Wakes (c) 2025 by The Entangled Pair
If Vulcan fully wakes again and shakes his fiery dreads
unleashing hell in all it's fury on our fearful heads
I tell you once again my friends in words of common rhyme
we perish not in watery graves but in the fires this time
can't see the forest for the trees
can't...

Orpheus In The Undergrowth
"As the greatest of all poets and musicians,
tho' you may call me 'liar',
Hermes may have invented it
but I perfected the lyre
and with my music and singing
if only I could see
the forest for the trees
I would coax the woods to dance for me
but, on the other hand
from where I stand,
it appears to be,
looking at it from...

Endless conflicts I'm torn between two distant worlds ~
one steeped in wickedness and sin,
the other pure and righteous;
my mind drifts like oil on water.
Alluring is the glory of heaven,
promised if I remain pure and holy,
yet enticing is the frivolity
hidden in jollity they call "sin."
My mind imagines the afterlife the Bible depicts,
yet I savour worldly pleasures my flesh...

A Blackbird Flies Before the MoonA blackbird flies before the moon,
A life shall pass away;
A death, a bird,
Together stirred,
Fused in a lunar ray;
The wings of a fate falling soon.

WHAT IF LOVE IS A MYTH?Love is kind.
Love is patient.
Love gives.
Love understands.
But what if
love is only kind
until it teaches you to kneel
for crumbs and call it a feast?
What if love isn’t perfect
not because we weren’t
but because fate crossed our paths
when we were meant to grow apart?
They say love is giving
but what if I gave too much
until I forgot the sound
of...

when we’ll fall, my love,
…when we’ll fall, my love,
let’s fall
on the water face,
so,
we can draw circles, like
raindrops,
without a compass

Alice was never a girl
They called her Alice,
but perhaps her true name was Smoke,
rising slow and silent
from letters never sent,
from altars crumbled beneath
the cold gaze of forgotten saints,
from lips that kissed her only to still her breath.
She did not fall.
She transcended.
There is a sacred difference,
between shattering
and choosing the void.
She stepped beyond the back of her own reflection,
where silver fractures...

NGWondersIn Nigeria’s heart, the wonders shine,
From Ogbunike Caves to Yankari’s line.
Farin Ruwa falls with power and grace,
While Owu’s waters dance in place.
Olumo Rock stands strong and wide,
Idanre Hills with age and pride.
Obudu’s mountains, calm and high,
Where Niger and Benue rivers lie....

From Chaos to OrderAt first Chaos became from void borne,
And it stirred the primordial mass,
Before Earth or the Sea or the Sky,
Had a reason to moan or comply,
Then did emerge Ananke above,
Who did give a primordial shove,
Become inevitable to change,
So, the Earth and the Sky be arranged,
And then father time emerged from muss,
Fair Ananke said that there is...
