Be filled with joy and fun filming to translate
Victor Ifeoma's years ahead into realistic good fate...

Oh dear, the things i hear
Both laughter and tears, the screams and the fears
It comes and goes, but never shows
It is all in my head, filming up
Until the day it finally stops....

Sliding into home plate 
Wounds inherently whipped
Fantasies of victory 
On terms of nobility
Ambitious reality
Arrived values
Business a history
Concealed salvation
Watching supreme plead
Filming individual texture
Closing out shadows of fear...

Love nature programs for they're amazing up close filming
How do they capture those exploits so thrilling
It's beyond my comprehension
Surely grabs my attention
The cheetah, the fastest land animal at 70 mph gets top billing

filming lightning
sounds easy
it isn’t

you have to outguess the lightning
and snap the photo
before it appears

lightning-fast is not a joke
it is real
I took seventy-six photos tonight
trying to capture lightning

four of them have lightning on them
sky is pink in every photo
not what the naked eye saw
I guess lighting is too fast to see too...

Paul wrote songs he
sang with his guitar.
The “cute” one, he
has come amazingly far!

The “smart” one John
went successfully solo, but
one tragic day got
murdered by a nut.

George, smoker, lead guitarist
and spiritual, “quiet” one,
got cancer. He’d composed
“Here Comes the Sun.”

Ringo, the Beatles’ drummer, 
met his second wife
filming “Caveman.” They’ve enjoyed
a long, rich life....

I travel alone in the trip of life
Jewelry left behind but diamonds in the eyes
With blisters in my heart and oxygen enough
To hover free over unwrinkled  canyons
I live in my car hoarding childhood giggles
Pelicans are my new pen pals 
                                - their fate collide with mine -
addicted to the current of an upside down planet
I keep on filming Life until I say...Good Bye......

Quaint bells of symphony,
swelling over
vast corridors of the mind
filming scenes from remote past
in kaleidoscopes of living colour
strumming..
with virtuosic intensity
on mind's tormented strings
reincarnating
exorcised demons
undressing
raw putrefying wounds
rusty hinges creaking noisily as
grating shovels on ice
skelenton closet swings eerily open
creatures baring hideous teeth
lay siege on my sanity
and haunt my sleep....

Liz and Richard

The actor Richard Burton
loved Liz Taylor for certain.
While filming “Cleopatra”
her heart he did capture.

Liz really thought Rich
would be her last hitch.
Love must have been nice.
She married him twice.

Moments passed
Days that took years I gasped
Fragments of yesterday
I skipped and delay

My heart that rolled
From mountain to the ground and scrolled
A wishing heart to touch you again
Missing you, embracing you without pain

Memories you left in me
Accessories I wore and slept with me
Each day I see a smiling sun
Your face in full moon filming, not pun

Time traveled fast
Without you beside me that last
Time will bring you back to me
Your heart and soul hails in me...

En route to dinner in Toronto,
We were slightly shocked
To realize that our street
Was very slowly being blocked.

A film crew started setting up
As we sat down to eat
And that was when we noticed
New York taxis on the street!

I asked what they were filming.
"Suits," he answered in reply.
I've never seen the show
But when it's on next time, I'll try.

We ate our meal while gazing at
A phony New York mile.
Tomorrow, when we're back at home,
We'll think of it and smile....

Protect them from harm
They are filming coffee farm
In Sulu they are in a pointed gun
A group of men took them to farmland 
To the unknown direction they are gone
In a peaceful release they would come
In a safe homecoming for them
Another good film they could make again
A prayer is for the filmmaker sisters
For Linda and Nadjoua Bansil!





A prayer to indie filmmakers that was abducted in Patikul near
Jolo, Sulu, 22 June 2013 (Saturday). Let us all pray for their safe release!...
