Though a true romantic

RETURNING HOME

Two years now
Have toiled in this garden
Searching for her
Waiting and wailing for her return
With tears and thorns tumbling my knuckles
With agonies growing daily
With hope masquerading
I shall return home
I shall wait no longer
For the stolen ribs.

Pride

Pride is a luxury
I afforded 
Last night
Just this morning
It has ruined my years of bridges
Now, i am munching the cords of 
broken bridges
Scratching the debris of friendship
Scouting for again
But no gains again
Had learnt my lessons
Though in a bitter way
Pride is a luxury i can't afford again...

Void of you 
My life is like a wind
Drifting to nowhere
Tossed and turned
By the ragging nature

Your kisses hunted me down
Capsizing and ceaselessly 
Plowing my innermost
Drilling my manliness

Void of you,
My life is separated by miles of realities
Stay with me, my dreamer

the night is young...
and cool as cucumber
together we stared at the future
puncturing the punctuates of life

the night is young...
in her sanctuary i staggered
conjuring and chanting in the bowel of thighs

the night is young...
in the balcony of her kisses
i conquer nations
for the love of , Oyenchi

Endless Chase

Dreams broken
Anthills of fear lurking
Failing forward
Nothing to lean on
The walls crack
Sorrows rack
Musing dryness
Patience
Paling
Oceans of nothingness travailing
Hopelessness hatching
Triggers pulling
Death beckoning
Casket lower
Thresholds folding
Priest dusting dust
Vanity looming
Eternity an endless chase...

Just this morning, my pen pile

And drifted into slumber

I saw shadows and shame

And,

Babies in the pool of tears

As,

Anarchy crawled in the wombs of his gun

Blood stooped and stumbled 

In between his skull

Conscripting his pen of puns

Thus,

Lowering his dust and shadow

To father-earth

In the agony of  eternal adventure

His  bones wept

Just this morning the author died.

Entrapped in the belly of heavy eyes...

Mother nature beacon on me...

Echoes of days' labour

En-caved in dreams of death...

Snoring and snarling tearing the  roofs...

Mystical beings crawling to their covens...

Afraid,afraid i am not afraid,

Have got Elohim by my side...

The night is sick...

It is night in my village

The Sunset

Leaning on her eyes
I saw a purple like-orange sphere
Descending from her pupils
Crisy colour with an unbeatable 
beauty
Swirling the innocent blue sea
Piercing all pieces
With her tentacles stretching the 
heavens
She kidnapped nature's horizons
With her shimerring and seeping 
glamour
Her name is Sunset
She sets nature in motion
Feeding nectars and corals
Look at her, rising from the east

Sullen

Sullen and soft
Concealed with comfort
Brilliant and beautiful
We share together
Strength and character
Yet so fun
That’s my girl
Capturing my emptiness
Paddling my heart
Complex like rainbow
Beautiful beyond sunset
In case you meet her
Stay away from my girl
Best beware
She stole my heart
Her name is Adeola
We stay in the same hole
This I swear
None can match my baby girl….

...the night stood straight in the sky....


... as mankind drowned in the valley of slumber...

....does nature exact supremacy on mortars? 

...look at him as he helplessly lay vertical on the couch...

....tomorrow he boss of his nothingness...

....without acknowledgment to the Invincible Hands that sustained him

Naked pure newborn Eden, unashamed
                Soles step intrepid on spongy moss 
                Quadrant of tropical dapple claimed 
                Fruits in Winterless heart's emboss 


    Limbs mingle, indulged by marquee manuevres 
           Ponder labyrinth piths without hindrance
    Sultry poetry compiled among canopy soothing 
            Canoe traverses untold as fingerprints

She stood before distorted mirror of her past

Munching and mincing in  stream of regret 

As the Adam evaporated after the fallen apple

A pariah she became in the market-square of womanhood 

Having lost her virginity on altar of love 

Tonight tears tear her apart as the haunting ghost

Of happy ignorance nailed her in the coffin of grief

Fifteen minute utter cohesion exists
Selene umbra shielded is dust kissed
Coinciding of inland and coastal discs

Earth Moon orbit drawn in magnetism 
Spherical cycled symmetry, safety given
Invisible fingers tap tunes to their rhythm 

Red emits forbidden midnight miracle
Hottest wanton, dual crossing elliptical 
Helios wavelength cottons moon's spool

Aus will have prime view of blood super moon 
Eclipse tonight
