Old As Time Poems

The Mystic and the King

~~~~~~~~~~~~~1~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The valiant king rode across
A perilous mountain pass, which
Led to a mystic who could
Dispel the chance of death at war.

He roved along the rough terrain
Through rows of shuddering pine
His journey had no sojourn till
He'd drink the...Read More

The days of thunder sometimes i wonder, is life going to take me under, the thunder brangs the rain full of drastic pain, for a plastic brain, my head feels empty to simply apply my mind with emotions to follow...Read More

I know it's over before we start talking.
I feel the cold on my skin because you don't touch me anymore.
I taste the blood in my mouth because you don't kiss me anymore.
I stare at the ceiling and stay awake because...Read More

The cold dark night is behind me, I still feel it's chill
But I'm just getting started
An unfamiliar path, dividing into an unfamiliar fork
Right or left I have not one clue
A tremor of excitement begins its upward trek from my toes
Both...Read More

Love is old.
As old as time.
Love is following me.
I wish it would die.

As I grow older, I ponder what it really means to be, and why so much hatred exists.
I think about out where humankind went wrong, and why we constantly speak with our fists.
In the beginning, humans were designed to be...Read More

Water crashes against an unmoveable stone face.
As white foam blows high like star's in space.
My gaze reaches up and over rolling hill's of
beautyful green grass where bird's fly soaring high
looking down on a wonderous land as old as time but...Read More

Let me be
The mirror on your wall
Telling you how beautiful and bad you are.

Let me be
The one
That will wash away the pain hidden in your pride.

Let me be
The one
That will fight, protect you and also die when you die.

Let me...Read More

Just because we have been on the street for an unknown time,
With faces as pale as wax,
Watching poverty sing,
With a sweet voice caroling like a gold-caged nightingale.

You think because we are poor, obscure, plain and little,
Therefore, we are soulless and...Read More

When desire awakes..
The lingering ghost of years lost
Eyes hold each other up in prayer
Indeed,they pray in songs.

Wicked paths hands a'tracing
To a journey of no return
On bended knees and sheer reverence
Stripped of all else,but a smile

Reasoning is lost in this primal...Read More

The aircraft landed in Nigeria,
The day, 27th December, year 2018
And the airport taxi brought him home,
Mornings and afternoon's
Filled with sounds and sunshine
Amongst the family.
The affluent splendor of his foreign accent herald the days
Yuletide season! He's come from abroad, well, Europe.

What is rain
But drops upon a window pane;
With form and shape
Of natures liquid grape,
Their journey spent
Exhausted by their long descent.
They rest a while emboldened by their feat,
Savoring the warmth of the sun’s embracing heat.
Not ice nor sleet, but the purest...Read More

Stuck in front of camera
waiting to hear the cut
Speaking words secondhand
And thinking all unthought
And letters old as time
cower in the shadow of forgotten
and communication
Just 
lines of ones and noughts...Read More

Sun goes down until twilight hours of dawn
under the light of a corner street lamp. 
A performance stage, casts, leading me on. 
Awestruck audience at the fickle vamp. 

Pacing back and forth in high-heels to heat 
every wink of the...Read More

A tale as old as time , wasted my time on a man whose heart will never be mine , another unrequited Love tale, never divine, I found myself living in a whirlwind between the lines of the truth and...Read More

Morning opens its sleepy eyes to find
spring has made its debut on the world.
A gallimaufry of tender sprigs and shoots
lie beneath the soil, waiting to be unfurled.

Rain is determined to wash the earth,
and sunshine moments are but a boon,
April flowers...Read More

starlit night
glow of the moon
october breezes spice the air
as the glow of the fire highlights your hair

spirits circle as embers glow
souls entwined in the nights embrace
my heart i trace on your cheek slow
the magic i feel, when i touch your...Read More

It's as old as time
Pure and simple
It's unrestrained and
Spreads like wildfire
Gods love is holy forgiveness
And I wanna be
Loved like that

Like an infectious disease
That purifies and cleans
It forgives your sins
And sets you free
I've heard the stories
And seen his evidence
Now I've gotta...Read More

,It's like some long lost fairy tale 
That's handed down through time
But couldn't be, as you will see
For this strange tale is mine.

I chose to take a country road 
I do from time to time
To enjoy the crisp cool English...Read More

A mermaid whisper

She said, " be mine"
From today moving forward
Let me see you everyday at dawn
May your face be a fresh imprint at dusk
Whisper words that revive me
Messages that hold the beating of my heart
Let me know you will be...Read More

Not just a plastic peg
You reflect the light below 
Born into a guiding template 
Cast members for the show

We play until our light burns out
Game rules as old as time
Look within and find the source
A true self paradigm...Read More

put your hand on my chest
feel my inside beating
the pressure you provide
a flutter tickling my flight

always in awe
i come across such a condition
the reverence burned into my side
the humbling silence only heard
alone

the sound of life...Read More

we dance the old dance
as old as time itself yet
ever fresh each day

who knows its real name
how long it’s been around or
cares who danced it first

lift turn sway lunge bend
at the shore on ballroom floors
in the desert sands

the heart of...Read More

There's a story,
As old as time,

Cute little girl skipping thru the woods,
A big bad wolf who follows behind,

She's Carrying goodies for her Grammy,
She does it with love and because she's kind,

The wolf trots ahead,
He's a mastermind,

He eats her Grammy,
Wolfing her...Read More
