Thoughts of a Banana Farmer

...
Now I

want to be a banana 
plant, swinging in the wind,
free from the knots of debt.

The shards of dreams won’t wound
me again. Ever. I’ll never be hunted
by the loan sharks with serrated...

Monkeys

...The forest path is empty; and 
the tourist hubbub mute. Lay’s, 

biscuits, banana chips, peanuts…
These monkeys lose the alms 

from visitors. Yet they enjoy 
the lockdown on the romantic 

...

Called Too Early

...Walking to class with an expectation not allowed for the innocent.
An uneventful day was expected, but never promised.
My intention as pure as could be with the expectation of the same from a weary...

If

...If you could hear echoes from my heart now,               
would you perhaps reflect and wonder how
I have longed to hear your melodic voice  
flow in symphony with mine and rejoice.
I cry out fo...

Teardrops

...I did not even think, lo, that you would erupt,
Like lava from a wild volcano, so abrupt;
You are not mere water raised as a vapor,
Nor imaginations unwritten on paper;
Instead, you are my hopele...

School Never Taught Me This

...School never taught me this:

As a mite upon the side of an angel,

Dawn in a place covered by

my hands across my face,

four pillars of goo goo muck,

and a cellophane chick riding

a l...

Yet, More Than a Brother Emeka Akpe

...Apparitions of buried memories exhumed with rash eulogies
Arouse dried up tears that ever fail to cleanse the robe of guilt
Arraigning again before the partial jury of tormenting thoughts

Kaleid...

Blood Language

...

When the barrel speaks,
crimson thoughts 
are expressed non-verbally

Scarlet tones
perforate the air
with ballistic shrieks

Coroner syntax
are arranged in morgue sentences 
of ...

Duchess and the Dunce

...so look at us, the princess and her fool
          this painted jester - just a silly clown
               we frolic nonchalant and coolly cruel
     the joker, begging for his lady's crown .....

Gimme Gimme Gimme Fried Chicken

...it started twenty-six years ago
in a twisted, cramped recast
bathroom

the sun's rays would perforate 
from the right hand side
window

at first there were no 
implements, neither a
zither
...

Yet More Than a Brother

...Moods oscillate in cadences of peaks and valleys
Music to fractious emotions on greasy dance floors
Mistimed cues of flares smouldering relationships

Angst of redundancy seethes from within as l...

Ice Fishing

...You may shoot a round of golf with your goofy neighbor Rolf,
or smack handballs 'round until your fingers bleed.
You may pump your mountain bike up the peak named after Pike,
and I'm sure ...

A Collaborated Love

...A COLLABORATED LOVE 

        AMBER love in SILENT mode flickering
        ready to rush on green zest and zeal.
           LOVE COMES HERE to hear
      pulsation of whispering beats of wobblin...

Impale Me--

...Father my Heraldry to charge;
You're a shield, my shield...O' God
And you impaled me;

With your two coats of arms;
Placed side by side;
Father, you often fall by on, you impaled me...

Pierced By Providence

...My heterodox heart abandoned and impaled,
By such beauty where kisses have been jailed…
Marooned by your love and escaping has failed,
Decomposing with my last breath echoic exhaled.
