I Miss Him

I miss him
Yes I miss him
I miss his tenderness and fondness 
I miss his gentle composure and  his masculine aura 
I miss his constant dotting and his unweaving affection
I miss his delightful laughter and his child-like smiles 
I miss his fierce passion and his amorous moan 
I miss him
With evey ounce and pounce of my soul
I miss him
And with all my heart I will miss him

Pandora's Box

Pandoras box 
Filled with unimaginable doom
And unprecedented gloom
Pandoras box
A little box of grief and unendless tears 
Bringing perpetual pain to the inquisitive 
As they sought for the unsoughtable 
Pandoras box 
A tiny pang of greatest agony 
As it opens to its inquirer with unending nights of horror
Let my curiosity lead me not 
To the dreadful box of Pandora 
Least I be ostracized and hunted 
At the youthful bloom of my days

Poseidon

Poseidon the great
The Greek god of sea
Whose mighty waters shakes the earth
As the inhabitants of the earth  tremble 
With its oceanic waves 
Poseidon the great 
Brother of Zeus and Hades 
As they skillfully divides the universe among themselves
That Poseidon may reside 
At the deepest side of the sea
Poseidon the great 
Bringing earthquake to earth dwellers with its Trident and three prologue spear
Making the sea rumble
As sailors quiver and panic 
At the fury anger of Poseidon
Whose mighty waves rumble in the sea
I have borrowed a leaf from  Odysseus story
Hence I must act with caution at the pinnacle of greatness

Water Versus Beer

Water is good 
but beer is cool 
water restores 
beer renews 
water brings life 
beer brings liveliness 
water sustains mortals
likewise beer regains men

  Ode to our African ale
