The Widow's Imagination

Are you not dead?
When did the unbreathing
started doing business with the living?
Or you resurected?


You died,i know you died
i saw your lifeless body
your hopeless eyes
looking directly to the halfed sun
without blinking.


You died,i know you died
people cried,my world ended with you,your mother danced in tears
rain fell,sun rose.....but your star did not shine


you died,i know you died
my head was shaved
with pinching blades of razor
i drank water used to bath your decaying body
it was tradition though
but i saw hell and i wished you heaven


i touched your lips
it was stucked wid sour blood
i poured sand on your giant wooden coffin
it was put into a shallow pit
i watched them cover you with earthen
i wanted to cry but my eyes was filled with emptiness
my hope was lost


i thought you can't die
you looked so strong,
so powerful,
you looked immortal
why?
Why did you have to leave yourself inside my swollen stomach
won't you call you father?
Your second begining will be painful than your first end....

The Phobia

Dead
Do you remember the past?
I slowly kill myself
Afraid of this day
It will never come
It will always come
Man,living being,you....
...death also afraid of death?
My fear is not death
My phobia is being dead.


Puberty
Did she not  tell you?
With her untruthful tongue
And her wrinkled face
That you soon become a maiden
With breast on your past dry chest
Didn't she tell you ?
Macho men will come
They will penetrate you
With their piecing manhood
Didn't she tell you ?
That you will have offspring 
I feel your unending disgust for womanhood 
I fear for you
But she told you.


Birth
Haven't they torment you enough?
The unborn kicked your unwilling stomach
They have stayed in you
Many market days
You carried the pain of ejima
We know,we all know
Your anguish,extreme fright
Oh daughter of deity
bring forth your duo
For the one that is killed 
Is the one that you keep.


Death
The journey will always end
With my eyes closed
And my soul goes to another....
....your progeny 
Who at puberty will give birth to another you and me
I see your fear
I see your phobia.

The Sound of the Moon

It’s the sound that shakes the crowd
It’s the sound over lives
It’s the sounds, unstoppable ones
Makes the world shake, makes the world shake
It’s the start that form new things
It’s the start our lives begin
It’s the words that change lives
Makes the world shake, makes the world shake.

Moon cries, the soul hides
love dies, whoever might
Die under closed doors
light and stars above shuttered floors
Bring victory to the lost souls
Peace to the ghost laws
what happened to the world? who knows'
As we fight towards empty clothes
Only the future crawls
Behind the untold goals, hate in blood clothes
Before the moon, our guts bows.

Life through light, our hearts walks
Shows of ugly truth, our minds recalls
We mow the earth in darkened force
They recollect about rapping most,
Mankind released in seconds of reformation
wake up for the information
Thinking about christ lost in friction
everyone got certain addiction
Fingers will call back messages of your own poison
Turn back and send me unriped weapon
Slowly in the parts of spiritless conviction.

Stay alive as your mind awakes
up in the stories of shadowed claims
People aren't like gold, though our glitters
in few positions,
politics won't bring harmony, but chaos among
unlightened crews, worldless truth
Keeping up with news won't save you out
Either being alert don't guarantee hope

Wars

The waging war ended with a cry of sorrowful joy.....grapes of sour tastes are scattered at the end of the caursed iroko log....frost of dry feelings repeat its sound of cold smoke....my joy rouse from today to yesterday...drowning in unpleasant laughter strands of hydro filled my flat chin with the motive of entering my wethered mouth it was salty ....salty like war as just started...my soul unites with my body...it just another of noiseless desire for murder...the partition continues...happiness filled in me again with hatred i stabbed my ached heart and i died my death....gains of conflicts is here lets share....wailing of the child still tells moonlight fears in ears...the partition tares...the gains of war is here lets share....wrapped with faded prints she danced round eri and cried....alas my jaw smiled with desperation...hollowing in forestial chants the soldiers marched in anguish....we lost...this is the gain of dispute...this is my share..it ended

I Want To Write You a Poem

I want to write you a poem



The pen spoke through my hands 
I hear not , you hear for me 


I want to write you a poem 
About us 
A two stanza ballad for our undying love .


I want to write you a poem
A poem for trust 
Me and you, bricks and blocks 
Till death .


I want you to write you a poem 
for your smile ?? 
As beautiful as the sun 
Perfect with the moon



I want to write you poem 
But I fear you won’t like me pouring my heart on the page of a leaflet 

I want to write you a poem 
A rhyme that guilds us
A poem with a fairytale end.

I Hit Her

I hit her!!!

My Sorrow holds no bounds 
Holes are punched in hearts

You have been my best part 
How?
My hands where careless
Adrenaline squashed .

Eyes swollen from lashes of anger
What have anger not done ?
Piecing through this unending anguish 


My Love , my heart cant forgive my weaken fist 


Forgiveness might be a thing of  yesterday’s future 
But I am saint today and for ages to visit 
I AM SORRY ! 
Sorry , sorry for what ?
Sorry for breaking my anger vows


I AM REMORSED, MY SOUL WEEPS!!!
