Our Origin

How Beautiful Humanity is, A Piece Of Wandering Souls Looking up for Immunity, Upon a Soul Which had been long lost with it's Origin The Origin is but, The Struggles of our Ancestors To make a divine living, Beautifully crafted Out of Love and Affection The Staff of Oranmiyan, exploring down The Heart of the flourishing city of Oyo Dictatorship in it's strictness, So gripping It dries out the Blessed River of Álàsé Like flowers fall out in Autumn, Bedridden We are the Crafts of Life longing for itself We May house our body, But the Origin houses our Soul Which had fallen, Abreast Maybe I see a lot of Perfection, In Kahlil Gibran's He surely is, but a bedrock Which I set out my tender feet Into the world of Muses in their most brilliant creation, The world of Poetry,...... The Rythm of Poets Our Origin as "POETS" @ThePoeticMembrane ????

Grieving Heart, Death and Legends

Grieving Hearts, Death And Legends”

Lying unconscious, Lifeless and Breathless;
Still kept on a life support, Helplessly.
With Pain and Agony from an End,
And Fund raising on the other end.
My conscience doesn't Portray a life support;
Mayhaps, Fund Support sounds Enticingly painful.

All Hell break lose on the Grieve and Trauma of Man;
When they make decisions, so decisive and Egoistic.
So, I'd rather live on the edge of Tardiness;
And lay quietly to die in Peace,
Than trust a Human made from Man.

Man created with Hate, Destructive thoughts, Agony;
With a little spice of Self-centeredness and Greed.
Created in their finest Selfish and decisive art;
An art willed to Us from the Enticement of an Apple bite.

I wish I had lived in the time of Hercules,
Son of Zeus and the Mortal Arcmene;
Slayer of the Nine Headed Nemean Lion;
Capturer of the Golden Hind of Artemis;
And die an Immortal, Remembered in History,
Than cradle in my steel made, high heeled Bedding.

Only If Death Do Us Apart

Only if Death do us Apart; Shall I keep my Hands to myself That, Which had been Nurtured to Fondle your Breast. Striking through the Strides of your Hair; Abreast Only if Death do us Apart; Shall my Arms,be wrapped in white clothings, Unstained, Stranded and Lifeless. The Arms, which had been Crafted to wrap around your Beaded Waist, Turning the Winter your Summer, While lost in Thought Only if Death do us Apart; Shall my Ears, Fond of listening to your Beautiful Breathe in Silence Echoing through the Vessels and Ventricles of my Heart Be shut by white lining Clothings And rolled into the Earth forever For as long as we Breathe; Mouth to Mouth, Heart to Heart Bonding our Imperfect Halves... Shall I remain in your Halo, Unaltered And never let to Flinch a bit @ThePoeticMembrane
