He walked away from her quick and full of pride
In search of the young girl he had to hide
Dyeing gray hairs to cover his age
She became silent as she watched his change
When he saw the young girl their smiles grew wide
She had to bury how much it hurt her deep inside
Old enough to be the young girl’s grandfather
She had always yearned to be the mother of a daughter
His love for her he rejected and quickly tossed aside
As the life she once knew slowly died
His words burned like fire as he passed the blame
Left alone she would now carry the burden of his shame
With tearful eyes he told of how much he had tried
She only wanted to hold him as she violently cried
As he told her she never was or would be his wife
She knew the young girl, her dear friend, had taken her life
In the church he & she used to sit together on a pew
The young girl took all they had, giving the members a perfect view
In awe of the power you possess; pull my tides in the night
Extraterrestrial diodes; set the scene with backlight
Silver and cold; blanketed in darkness chasing light
My love; forever your tether; need you; just hold me tight
I'll find you in my dreams; grasping you with all my might
Holding, without touching my beloved; feels so right
Worlds of devotion from Earth; to its betrothed satellite
My love for language is the best
Yet my love for her goes far mile than that.
She lightens my heart with her smile
Even when in the nighttime, I see through her heart.
She is that- subsisting
Who makes me feel healed when drained.
I recollect the night devoured with her.
Her eyes flicker more than a diamond
Her lips are far more seducing than the pinkies
Her figure might not be the best but triggers me to the right
Her smooth pointers make me feel warm
Even in the harmattan season,
I feel I am covered in an air-conditioned season with her
I shall pronounce not her inscription,
For I know not who she is owned by
She is my conviction
For I confide in her
Even the peacock is not as peaceful as she is
Yet, She bears the name

Wow.....She is coming!!
We can smell her fragrance encompassed in the air.
Garden and meadows looks appealing with her flair.
Greenery seems well dressed on the lawn.
Bird chirps are soothing for the ears at dawn.
Visualising colourful butterflies everywhere are enthralling.
Twittering birds on tree twigs are always exploring.
During your arrival we would lavishly spend money,
By going worldwide on an aesthetic journey.
You are the one who triggers romance in our mind.
Hence we all cherish you being love blind.
So tell us ..Dear spring,
Why do you always bloom only after the fall?
Attempt to come at any moment coz your loved by all.
Elderly and young people yearn to gaze at you whenever they lack peace.
So agree for once and we will hire you for lease.

bounty brags blushing
purpled eyes puncturing
hoisted hag seducing
callous crimson tuning
into hankering hall
she opened door
gaunt glottis shrunk
like leering lust's
none inside thrust
"I'll revive him,
mystic May's wind
pebbles pruning pills"
then she left,
reincarnation at crest.

~Note~ An imitation of Lascelles Abercrombie's "Witchcraft: New Style"
I saw mom and Santa having a chat
She told him he was much too fat
She then grabbed his behind
With eyes closed kissed him blind
Then they both fell on the mat

Seducing Evil No More
Perhaps at the days complete
This date with death shall not
prove to be deadbeat.
The outcome has proven quite concrete.
Tragedies that shades
itself behind deaths eyes
piercing to contaminate
like some blastomycete:
Ready to enter my blood to do some harm.
like some invading fungi who does not laugh
at the joke, but at the joker’s lack of antidotal charm.
As death is now my escort;
Invasion needs no persuasion.
I've awakened myself, to realize such a thought.
Finding my words nesting, in some confessions plot.
That is why I never sympathize with evil.
Abetted, by the fluid allure of death.
Follows me like fresh fish with a trail of flies.
In poetic terms, it’s easy to describe
the evil that is flowing, like sewage in a flood.
Around every corner, I have found,
The hatred from which I strive to hide.
Led me to find a peaceful place near the trees
Where peacefully, I now reside.
Sitting alone with one trusting friend, as
we admire the color of the trees in the quiet.
We meditate and sit in amber silence.
Without anticipation of the judgment of each other.
I want to know
The limits of your passion
So I wade into your sea
Reaching to the depths of you
Losing myself within your blissful currents
I Penetrate the force of your nature
Slowly I ascend
To the surface of your wonder
Riding each passionate wave
Until I feel your release
The calming of you
The beauty of your stillness
My hands stretch to your horizon
Marveling at the magnificence of you
You let them dance upon your softness
As I rise towards your sky
The winds of your changing
Caressing my being
You bathe me in a soft light
Gravity pulls me towards your moon
The stars adorn the blackness of your hair
Within your twinkles I am mesmerized
Confounded and elated by your orbit
Flung to the reaches of your constellations
You are the the beginning and end of me
The resonance of all my notes
The answer to my need
My inner sanctum
The softness of my cravings
The realization of my wonder
The space within my understanding
The hope I breath
The suffocation of my fear
For with you I have come to know
What it means
To experience
Limitless
Passion
Aromatic lingering scents
Shadowed dancing from candlelights
Touches of scattered roses
Stings tickling the senses
On the dim cool lights
He held her slowly
On her narrow waist
He circled his arms
He led her on the floor
As music rises
Filling the room
He swayed her harmoniously
Eye-to-eye, they behold a gaze
Hands locked for support
Hips and lips graceful
With each hug and kiss
Uniting with the rhythm
Whispers one can audibly hear
Movements conjoined
Matching all push and pull
Even glides and circles
Breathing becoming ragged
Exploration up for a crescendo
Arms clutched as feelings rises up
Temperature fires up, boiling fast
Heartbeats thundering rush
Clamoring for a liberated climax
Then it explodes rigorously
Unstoppable beyond reproach
Time cease and freeze
Sighing.. Reviving deep
Plunging with the moment's bliss...

Trapping me; with your seducing eyes
Showing me your spirit; as a beautiful light,
You’ve got me spinning; within the touch of your mind
You made me shine; in the middle of the night.
The touch of your body; against my chest
The smile on your lips; that dig through my heart,
It’s as if I’m close; to the fire of flame
Which I’m afraid of; for it to rip me apart.
I’m half surviving; through your love of danger
I’m still crawling; without losing my breath,
If you win me over; with your seducing power
You will have the memory; of seeing my death.
