Neither unhelpfulness nor a low of zest for life
could lift me from the deep abyss I had fallen into,
countless failures added more gloom to strife;
nobody applauded me, all I head was a big boo!
When misfortunes or pitfalls mark one's fate, despair sets in
to deplore an unforgiving derision echoing with contempt
in a hall of laughter and shameful words of undeserving scorn;
lowering your head in shame is admitting and condoning guilt!
Who's afflicted by unfairness often chooses not to fight,
but having been deprived of nurturable inner strength
any loss of this virtue can cause a devastating blight
of anxieties', fears, and regrets void of moral worth!
Be persistent and unyielding, ditch all pitiful discouragement,
it's the unfaltering way to conquer any shadow of lingering doubt
and fend off an unforgiving derision that bruised soul and mind;
Is there an expectation to live life fully? Let yours be a perfect bind!
My love for you is unparalleled
Like the stars in the dim-lit sky
My love for you is incomparable
And can never be denied
My love for you is ever-flowing
In abundance at your request
My love is cataclysmic
Exploding out of my chest
My love for you is stupid
With the idiotic things I do
My love for you is so chaotic
But still, somehow I love you
My love for you is never failing
I can never turn away
My love for you is always paling
In comparison to everyone else
But my love for you is ever-standing
I can never turn away
My love for you is always caring
So please just give me the sign
My love for you is unfaltering
Withstanding through and through
But most of all my love…
My love, it is for you

Dance from your heart, chase the fears away.
In the rhythm of your dance, many will sway,
Your moving words will inspire, the world to behold
Making them to dance with Him and become bold.
In the midst of storms, a voice will guide you clear,
Whispering wisdom, easing every fear.
See through the eyes of faith, where enemies hide,
Release angels of restoration, to fight unseen battles.
Keep your eyes on Him, sail on, unyielding,
On soap water's surface, your steps will be unfaltering.
He is the God of mountains and valleys, embrace
Your healer, your miracle worker, your guiding grace.
Multiply the healing, according to your own heart’s beat,
For He can be to you, whatever you want Him to be.
His favor endures, for a thousand generations,
His covenant and mercy are for a thousand generations.
When the aromatic garden of celestial spheres, splatters acrylic herbs,
I listen to soft serenades of sakura raindrops,
floating along singing sapphires, longing to reach the unseen colors, veiling cherry-blossom skies.
I ponder, if I could catch drizzling silhouettes of dancing diamonds,
would I then find petrichor tales of forsaken twilight?
Perhaps, in their liquified state, metaphors do flow,
as I am the aesthetic aura of the champagne sun before raspberry rain,
chasing butterflies and kaleidoscopic moonstones,
rising from the pit of poisoned puddles,
where petals of pretense play h i d e and s e e k, luring me into a delicate destruction.
Now I swim amidst surging sorrows, finding jade stars~ hidden between tarnished turquoise, allowing trickling jewels of the azure lagoon, to anchor my sunken spirit to an island of unfaltering faith.
There, I’ll see beyond blurred blues, the caramelized eyes of a poetic knight, writing sensual sestinas to soothe my sleepless seas, rippling with rhinestone regrets upon rain-soaked shores.
I hold the stem of a wineglass, a pose in meditation,
cradling the glass as if it were an injured bird.
This is my moment of peace, my mind at ease
in stillness I peer at images and visions
tease my heart to recall my journey through life.
I need the grace to have clarity of thought,
an unclouded focus, an ungrudging acceptance
for moments of bliss, of loves possessed and gone,
of choices forged, rejected, and discarded-
I wish no barefaced cynicism, no conscience accuser.
Absolution is my own private, solitary affair
with unquenchable flair I will face life
in all of its stages in unfaltering whimsy -
not wither like a blossom in drought,
not a weather vane in a shifting wind.

The feathers of your insights brush my lips
sending jolts of electricity through my rusted veins
Your condescending glance sends the glass shattering
raining down shards of misfortunes down whoever questions you
domes of innocence create buildings of unfaltering love
always never looking at the negative side of things
no matter what you do
Your stare is enough to tear the sky apart
and bring down a hail of mishaps to follow the ones who did you wrong
Everything you do is like a fascinating movie
which my eyes are glued to
I've grown to memorize every wrinkle in your face
and perfectly mirror your emotions
I became your puppet unknowingly
Doing everything for your satisfaction
The air is better at picking up hints than me
it tries to drop some by sending a shiver down my spine
but of course, I pay no heed
You keep growing poison trees in my orchard
But I've turned blind to them
I watch you slowly killing me inside
but I'm too helpless to do anything about it
Like sands
Through the hourglass
My thoughts percolate
Between instant gratification
And long-term resolution.
Like an unfaltering pool
Of sinking sand
My dissatisfaction agglutinates
With foolish gibberish
To obscure optimism.
Like a withering stalk
My shrivelling aspiration
Matches and clashes
With swelling inertia
Resulting in dispiriting
Deprivation of direction.
Like a valley of ash
My barren essence
Gasps for restitution -
For a preserving elixir
To cogently overturn
The demise of time.
she remembers his scent
his hands his eyes his breath
and the lights down low
the unfaltering way he held her
as they danced cheek to cheek
bodies pressed against each other
swaying as one to some bluesy melody
grinding away the pulse of loneliness
in the sultry heat of midnight
she remembers his scent
the lights down low
his smile his kiss his touch

Saturated, each
labored breath
holds the weight of
a jet plane,
rumbling through
closed bedroom doors,
booming with echos
down the hallway's
extension, unfaltering to
continuous clock ticks,
rattling with shouts
above the pounding rain,
penetrating through
cork canal barricades,
brazen and relentless
in the hour of rest.

Humble men are very few,
pride elevates their ego;
the veil of pretense hides
eyes, hearts, and feelings:
such is the mood of a falsetto
sung by the tenor named Drew!
Behind the bold human spirit
unfaltering courage burned
that never rejected harsh rules
vanquishing the malice of a bigot
who was obsessed with tarot
cards revealing his fate in minutes,
and believing it he turned cold!
Who is frightened by the pandemics
to come? Haven't we seen enough tears
and death that took thousands of lives?
If we survived this plague, it definitely was
the bold human spirit which never
surrenders to fright, saving its laughter...
hoping for days that will dispel fear;
displaying more strength, defeating anger!
The expanded world in different light,
shadows leaving for the rays of purer sight.
With references from the stars above,
echoes of thunder by distinctive love.
Solar tracks that convey strokes of fate,
just as you thought it’s all to late.
Transcendent gypsy caravan that moves,
towards the mysterious realm approves.
The freedom calling unfaltering trust,
that holds in pleasant dreams on must.
Arise in a state that keeps the spirit on its feet,
live within those quicken sense to that beat.
The heart in worship by that devotion,
by every measure to convey its motion.
The soul stretches between heavens vaults,
and earth duty taken things to exalt.
Accepting no refusal from the purpose script,
making the heart with wisdom equipped.

He had gone too far
Now she is gone
He sighed
sat back in retrospect
drawing a sarcastic smile
dreading the lifetime scourge
life has saddled on him
He shrieks then moaned
the sounds piercing through him
despite all her pain
spending her own gain
now she is gone
She who unfaltering
fought the heavens
cried to the sun
pledged to the moon
pulled down the stars
tugged the winds
even forfeited to Olodumare
just to carve you a path
now with your feet
fitted with greatness
you stood in ignorant fury
to crush the now tender reed
Alas, the saddened cry
Abiyamo ooo
Edentulous but determined to bite almond,
grandpa’s ‘never give up’ spirit was evident,
grandma watched quietly, all bemused and jocund!
“anytime now there would be a bad accident!”
Those hard almonds also had a mind of their own,
they refused to be consumed by the veteran,
every time he applied his old gums to bite down,
they escaped his wet squishy gums and made a run!
Grandma watched this entertainment for a long while,
keen to know how resilient her man remained,
She rose from her chair, walked to his almond pile,
She eyed him with amused anger that was all feigned!
She swiftly took almonds away in to kitchen,
Added a glass of milk and beat them in grinder,
Offered him the drink with some honey to sweeten,
kissed his forehead to show her love was still tender!
After five decades of marriage she knew him well,
in younger days he would brave the bullet for her,
from the brief adventure of almonds one can tell,
how deep unfaltering love keeps them together!
