If we are willing to receive
God's grace, making our heart porous,
we side-step ploys, ego does weave,
feeling within, love's bliss torus.
There's no doing we need to do,
if we are willing to receive,
save holding still our attention,
as we mindfully, each thought sieve.
Fears bid adieu, we too beg leave,
Choosing to plunge into the void;
if we are willing to receive,
we're no longer by ego toyed.
Celebrate then, this gift of life,
wary of cravings that deceive;
for pure of heart, God's grace in-pours,
if we are willing to receive.

Space is porous across all realms
Enlivened by God’s pulse
Magic of maya overwhelms
Forms attract and repulse
We are as choose to be
Bound here and yet are free
Shifting from ‘me’ to ‘we’
Life force torus
Space is porous

Quietus
eerie vision vied
pluming perforated plights
dark dribbles dug
masticating munching mug
hoisted hankerings smothered
felon zeal fostered
moaning mist cloned
thorn ocean thrown
gloating gaunt glows
salient shaver sucked
la-de-da lures lust
wielded wits gulped
airy alakazam ailed
porous pupils' plight
'20:05:13:18:47
Note: Of porous perception.
bruised brush bled
oozing, drooling dreg
puked pulpy pledges
wielded wits etches
hankering zeal hoisted
dribbling fiery drills
yearning fingers flickers
dragging moaning meter
delicate gaze glisters
gaunt grasped gibes
itching dainty drive
mystic art's aisle
crisp contractions yawns
pluming porous pawn.
'20:04:21:19:26
Note: Of porous picture.
crushed concerto cruised
bounty braces bruised
salient seal scrunchy
dark diminuendo dusty
lanky hoists lured
vying voluptuous lurch
wet wits wanky
punctured pills curvy
hoisted heels hefty
saucy syllables scared
hoity bills bear
porous pen's pear
lofty gaunt gifts
etched airy gills.
'20:03:18:17:11
Note: Dedicated to Chaucer.
tactic torrents tuned
punctured pills puked
hoisted horizon hanker
tuning tiers trigger
felon fiends whooshed
wanky wind booed
bounty bills bruised
lofty lists cruised
dark drips drooled
sour syllables glazed
with wet waste
gaunt gores graced
porous pasts pulsed
vying gifts gulped.
'20:03:11:15:06
Note: Dedicated to William Blake.
fiery tongue trained
in felon flame
seeped'n squashing syllables
puked by bundles
nocturnal nimble knitted
at hoisted hankering
pulpy passion pulsed
dripping dark some
gaunt gifts gulped
like whooshing waves
taunted torrent braced
terror to rain
soon, nature sang
porous politic's prank.
'20:03:01:09:43
Note: Dedicated to Olusegun Olufela Kuti.
like leering leopard
feeble flesh flicker
sassy spots smirk
scorching saucy surge
punctured passion puke
per prey's view
taunted tongue elated
eerie emotions elevated
dangling deer highlighted
porous paranormal bleeds
crushing callous creed
severing saucy speed
Sprint hoisted heel:
my siveness' spree.
'20:02:23:09:28
face like string
gaunt guitar split
rustic rhythm bleeds
gaze gore breeds
hoisted hollow dug
by leering lust
limbs like sequoia
bounty breeze's destroyer
nocturnal nature's lawyer
callous curves canvass
attention into trance
stark emotions spanked
I, punctured priest
porous puke spree.

the body,
of his work.
by his hand,
the fingernail moon lamp set on dim
sits in front an ultramarine drape
child orange at its base
by his hand,
the onyx climb, a mountainous terrain
muscular and oiled this inklike back foil
with its carefully placed rocks
by his hand,
her body fine
inclined
inset
by his hand,
she
basks,
rollicks,
she tans ivory white.
in the safety
in the dead of the night
in the stolen light the moon reflects
by his hand,
her body unconcealed
she pays homage
to midnight
to
the body,
of his work.
when you read a poem
consider the probability
that what seem to be chopped off phrases
and shreds of dangling sentences
are actually jagged blocks and slabs
of porous prose lumped and crammed
in a page in a manner that's ...
... not entirely
... unintentional.
