For just this
moment,
breathe.
So the little
me can rest,
from all these
unnecessary
struggles,
bring me out
to a place
of solace,
out of this
smouldering
down world
but place me
in a better
corner where
at least
for this moment
i can just breathe
a fresh air,
for this
place is suffocating.
Death and  
stagnation is here
and are
a menace to
everything and
everyone it touches.
It's presence
is devastating.
But for now
let me lay
down on this bed
of a thousand roses.
And savour the
freshness of this moment.

HE STRIKES
Emeka Mokeme May 2019
In this
strange city
where everyone
is corrupt and
must survive
by crooked way.
People around
are suspicious
of themselves.
You also
often think
of the trouble
and tricks of
the cunning
craftiness ones.
To avoid them
is difficult.
Once you give
warmth to the
wrong person,
you lose all.
You will never
know the sound
of the song
of your own
heart and voice.
The infinite beauty
of your essence
will melt away.
But beware of
the quiet man
who always keeps
quiet in the
midst of others.
For while others
speak and blab,
he watches.
And while others
act out their follies,
he plans.
And when they
finally rest,
he strikes.

BETWEEN EXTREMES
Emeka Mokeme May 2018
In this life,
you cannot have
both world's,
no it can't be done.
You choose one,
either right or wrong,
you win or you lose,
you die or you live,
you either keep on
keeping on,
or you keep on living
on the ground floor.
Both cannot merge.
But another hidden way
belongs to those who
finds the middle path
between the extremes,
they will always come out
victorious for such is
the beginning of a glorious
life free of the perilous
ways in the world.
No mediocrity,
only a higher life above the
ordinary full of incessant
activities with an extraordinary
lifestyle.
Is it possible?
Affirmatively yes,
it is possible.
Pesky lifestyle of others must
be tolerated or be avoided
to win your battle of self.
With enormous gratitude,
live your life amongst others
with joyful tenderness.
And when you win
enough of your battle,
then humanity will blend with
your vision for they are looking
out for such a one in their midst.
Be that fellow who has
found the inner wheel.

YOU THE KEEPER OF THE FLAME
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2018
He left a greater light on
at day time,
the morning sun.
He left a lesser light on
at night in the dark,
the moon.
He left the greatest light on
at all times,
the embodiment of his essence,
the carrier of divine light within,
the light of the world.
You are the beloved,
the keeper of the flame.
You manifest the beauty of God,
for you are his glory.
Adorned with the fantastic
and amazing grace of heaven,
his love within shine
forth like the stars.
Beautifully woven and configured,
a masterpiece and
wonder of creation.
You are the light of the world,
the sun that brightens the day
and the moon that
manifest itself at night.
The glorious beauty that
shines even in the darkness.
A piece of heaven on earth.
You are the one whose heart is
infused with divine love,
graced and beautified,
adorned and full of divine light,
purified by the greatest good to
show forth his glory on earth.
Yeah, you are the light of the world.

LOVE IS BEAUTIFUL
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2018
Love has many faces,
with shades and types
and can be displayed
in many different ways,
with their degrees and forms.
Love for God.
Love for friends.
Love for pets.
Love for people in different
groups you belong.
Love for gardening.
Love for your kids.
Love for your siblings.
Love for your husband.
Love for your wife.
Love for your boyfriend.
Love for your girlfriend.
Love for Mom.
Love for Daddy.
Love for grandparents.
Love for dancing.
Love for singing.
Love for other personal
things you like to do.
Don't ruin the day by
running away when you
are loved so much.
Take it, enjoy it, hold it
with both hands,
for you may never have
the opportunity to be loved
like this ever again.
To love is good.
To love someone is beautiful.
To be loved is awesome
Even in marriage,
your heart can never completely
belong to your spouse,
God did not make it so,
it must be given out,
and shared,
first to God,
to family, in-laws, friends,
and everyone,
it's called agape.
God kind of love.  
God actually is Love.
Don't be afraid to open
your heart and love again
even when your heart is broken.
Hearts are meant to be broken,
something beautiful
happens in breaking it,
you become perfect in loving.
And I say to you today,
that I love you so very much,
that you love me so much,
that you have to start loving me,
as God loved you.

BECAUSE IT IS EVERYTHING
Emeka Mokeme May 2019
I know that
love is a
beautiful thing
and it's catching
up on me.
I really miss
the feeling of
the heart in love.
And I felt
the flame of love
from the deepest
part of my soul.
My heart beats
so fast with
the systematic rhythm
of the symphony
of the spirit.
The rhapsody of
which engulfed
my soul powerfully
touched my heart
so beautifully and
left me speechless.
This is all
my soul wants
and it is enough
because it is everything.
Can anything be
as sweet and
lovely as a
cool hearty smile
of a loved one,
on a sunny afternoon.
You just have
to see with me
that a man
with a beard
looks like a king
and love is
all it takes to
have him by
your side.
Make it right
and enjoy yourself
in his kingdom.

GREATER IS HE
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
Blessed are the
hearts that can bend,
They shall never be broken.
But I wonder,
if there's no breaking then
There's no healing,
and if there's no healing,
There's no learning,
and if there's no learning,
Then there's no struggle,
but struggle is a part of life,
So must all hearts be broken.
But then,
my heart is already broken.
You can't brake it ever again,nah!!!,
no one can!!
Because now it is more beautiful
for having been broken,
healed and restored,
regenerated and rejuvenated,
fortified and strengthened
by the love of God
shed abroad in my heart,
For greater is He
that lives and dwells
Inside it now and
Forever.

I FEEL YOU
Emeka Mokeme Dec 2018
I feel every
moment of you
in my heart.
I feel loved,
I feel your warmth,
I feel alive
because of
your presence.
I feel the
words you spoke
to me.
It's like a
quantum success,
a heartwave.
I can hear
you in my
head and my
heart feels you.
In the heart
where the heaven
and earth meets,
there you reside.
I carry you
in my heart
along with me
from the beginning,
and there i
can meet you,
there I can hug
and hold you
whenever you are
absent from me.
And from now on,
we will make
it better than it was.

THIS BEAUTIFUL NIGHT
Emeka Mokeme Nov 2018
The happiest thing
in the world
is to have
you in my life.
Life favored me
with you and
i'm so grateful.
You are joy,
the golden ***
at the end
of the rainbow,
the sun in
my world.
You are that
*** of gold
worthy to be
guarded with might.
You are the
bubble of laughter
in the heart of
a beautiful soul,
a smile on
the mouth of
a babe.
That warm hug
in the midst
of a cold night.
You are like
a soothing word,
that comforts a
sad hurting soul.
The troubled heart
smiled again
because of you.
A beautiful music,
a symphony orchestra,
that flows out
of a joyful heart.
You are healing
from heaven with
a heart full of love.
I thank the Almighty
for a day of
bliss such as this.
The Angels  
gather for joy
on this beautiful night.
A day as today
will be remembered
through out eternity.
As long as
you are here
everything is alright.
For the light
in your eyes
and the sun
in your smile,
i celebrate you.

BUDDING ROSE
Emeka Mokeme Feb 2019
Don't be lost
in another persons
dream of you.
The only person
i ever lost
and needed back
was myself.
I am lost
but now i
found me again.
I've been
wandering around
myself for a
while and thought
it was a
tree until i
looked up and
saw my face
and my eyes,
never really
realized i am
actually here
within myself.
I'm never really
lost but only
disappeared from
myself a moment.
Am i ever
so glad
to be right here.
Discovery of self
is an amazing
thing in itself,
it's like a
budding rose flower
unfolding daily
in the sunlight,
sharing its fragrance
subtly in the wind
to the end
of nowhere.
It is loves
unfolding dream
that comes in
the hours of
our aloneness to
light up our lives.
It purifies and
lifts the soul
higher to embrace
the bliss that
unfolds quietly
in our being.
In stillness
we absorb and
abandon ourselves
to it's splendor.

SILENCE
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2019
Hush now and
be quiet,
your voice distracts
the calmness of
the heart.
Keep still at
this present moment,
the sound of
your shuffling feet
disturbs the silence.
With awe and humility,
humble yourselves
before your self.
Be silent,
speak only with
your heart,
Angels are listening,
even to your breathe.
Pause for a moment,
so you can
hear the whisperings and
unspeakable utterances
from other spheres.
Lift up your heart,
and let your soul
be immersed in
bliss unknown.
You will be
amazed and perplexed
at the impact
of the spectacular
and force
on your own spirit.
Be ever mindful
of whatever you
do at this moment
for the beauty
of the divine
will manifest itself.
Everything dies,
to sprout again
in the brightness
of his glory.
By reason of sin,
all filthiness of
body and mind
is purified
and the heart
restored to glory.
Don't come too
close with an
impure heart,
peradventure you
are but defiled and
touched by the
impurities of our
down world.
But never mind,
the brightness of
their glorious presence
will purify you.

SICK AND TIRED
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2018
Now that we are here,
what can we do to reclaim
our lives and sanity back.
Our psych has been so messed up
lately and it's been a drag on the
mental state of everyone.
People are sick and tired of being
sick and tired of all this happening.
Hopelessness and helplessness
is deeply engraved in the
heart of the people.
They seem to grapple in the day as if
it's really dark.
Hungry when there is so much to eat,
living daily from hand to mouth.
Worked so hard with little to show for it.
Men have abdicated their throne in the family,
rights and efforts abandoned,
neglecting everything important to survive.
Children are left on their own without support
and supervision by their parents or wards,
abused and molested for a crumb of bread,
young girls ***** and impregnated by the very ones that supposed to protect them.
Is this a curse or a jinx by the god's?
Atrocities have become the norm of the day.
Everyone on there own.
Survival of the fittest is the daily practice.
Abomination of the desolate is really here.
Upside down is everything turning into,
and we all will eventually fall down.
Things I'm afraid is falling apart and I'm fully convinced that we are heading to our doom.

REVIVED
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
About this very time
sometime in time.

Unbelievable events that
left me speechless occurred.

So on and
so forth happened.

But i didn't do and
didn't say a thing.

As if dumb,
my mouth was mute.

My tongue stiff
as if stuck to the palate.

Everything failed.
My mind numbed.

With profound impact of
that force on my spirit.

My heart melted,
and my body weak.

As if weak on my knees,
i fainted with exhaustion.

But love came again and
revived me as strength came back.

The tired body received vigour
and as a unicorn resurrected.

Vitalised and awakened,
ready to take another chance.

No retreat,
no surrender for this is my morning.

Emeka Mokeme Jan 2020
As you look around
from left to right
and up and down,
i wonder why
you never complained
as you observe
the things you see.
I know you see
the tiny specks
of dust sharing
the space with you
hitherto moving in
the air as if
with wings dancing
to the rhythm 
drummed by the wind.
You walked as if
they never bother you
but they messed up
your living room,
messed up everything
you took time
to clean up,
your clothes,
shoes and pretty face
yet you go about
ignoring them.
Pretending as if
it is allowed,
but you accommodated
their intrusion.
I wondered why you
didn't do the same
to your neighbour
who knowingly or
unknowingly offended you.
Don't you see that
even the dust has a
lesson to teach you.
They have a sign
to those who understands.

INDELIBLY BLISSFUL
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
The way to feel
is to close the
eyes and look
deeper with the
eyes of the spirit
into the soul
to feel what is
in the heart.
Painted on the
canvas of the soul
with the imprint
that is so subtle,
are the messages of
the spirit that only
the heart can
fully understand.
Written with love
and lavished with
infinite abundance
of grace and distributed
with kindness are
all that is
required to know.
All the joys
prerequisites
manifest itself in just
a twinkle of a moment.
The heart already
know how to immensely
and joyfully with love
draw our spirit out
to feel and understand
what is not optically
seen or felt with the hands.
The warmth of its
presence is deeply rooted,
and so indelibly blissful
in a magnificent exquisite
way in our spirit.
It is beautifully woven with
multiple amazing and
supernaturally astounding
impressive nature.

OF HOPE
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
The stars joyfully
accompanied
the moon to
mystify the starry
night sky,
waiting for the
sun to rise
at dawn to
greet the morning.
Bringing the
new dawn to fruition
with better days ahead.
Tomorrow beams
with beautiful
hues of divine light
and love.
The flowers blooms,
attracting the bees
for pollination,
with the message
of hope and
fresh breathe.
The children playing
and singing in
the rain again,
voices and laughter
heard in the garden.
And for the
first time in a
long time,
peace and happiness
returned with gladness.

APPRECIATE LIFE
Emeka Mokeme Dec 2018
The blood is
the ink of life
where the blueprint
and secrets of
life are hidden,
flowing in your
veins like  
tributaries running
throughout your body
distributing life giving
energy force in
your being.
Vitalising the whole
system with ions
of vibrational sublime
subtle expression,
so full of spirituality.
Take care of
your body,
it's the only place
you have to live.
Impact the world
with your presence,
and your essence.
Sow and leave your
fingerprint in the world.
Plant seeds that will
bring forth good fruits.
Nurture your body
with utmost care,
support it and
pamper it with
so much love.
Entertain your body
for it is the
only castle where
your soul dwells.
There is no other,
no none like it.
Soak it with
your meditations,
exercise your body,
as well as your mind.
Take in breaths of
fresh air and water.
Spend time out
in the sun during
the day and the
moon at night,
watching the stars
glitter in the galaxy,
take in the beauty
of nature in your life
and appreciate with
Thanksgiving all it
has offered you.
Be happy with yourself.
Find meaning and
purpose in this life.
Listen,watch and pray,
keep your eyes to
the heavens.
Feed your body with
nature's natural food.
You'll be so glad
you did too.
With your abilities and
talents leave a mark
to be remembered
when you are gone.
And at the end yield
yourself to the call
of the divine with
gladness in your heart.

You are no more a secret.
This heart wants to know you,
I love the way you make me feel,
Funny, fulfilled and loved.
Come beloved, Come to me.
I can see your shadow
laying in the moon light
I can feel your heartbeat
playing at my right side.

I'll love you endlessly.

LET ME HELP
Emeka Mokeme Dec 2018
Never mind about
whatever you have
heard,seen or
experienced in
the past because
i'm still going
to be here
waiting just for you.
All are deceptions
of optical
illusion within
your illusions.
You can never
see it occur
or actualized in
reality except
in your mind,
and all that
is important is
only felt in
your heart and
seen in your mind.
What if you
tell someone the
most important
thing in your
life and they
will never
believe you.
I understand that
you are not
yet in the
mood to confront
yourself.
Everything you have
got and done
you lose.
You are still
going to lose
even if you
didn't do anything,
you still lose.
It will keep
coming back to
you until you
get it done  
Communicate
sincerely with your
inner self to
let your spirit
emanate from the
darkness that
engulfed your being.
They are meddling
with your heart.
You know you
have a chance
to find your past.
You were dead
and was given
a new body,
recreated and
formed and
fashioned in a
new way.
Now you have
a soul that
can reason
and think rationally.
Everything they
told you was
a lie.
Listen they stole
your life.
But I'm going
to help you
end up somewhere
except the morgue,
if you are
willing to let
me help you.

or the north.
Where do you

where do you

Everything created
have their
place and purpose.
They help us
to flourish.
None is on this
earth by mistake.
Make room for each.
It was meant to be.
Stretching a little,
sometimes a little
more than a little,
to get to what
we crave for
is the way of
all creatures,
great and small.
There is only
one temple of
the Spirit and
that is our body.
When you touch

you touch heaven.

Don't be
left out

for it is

of the dead.
It is

desolate and
empty lonely
prison.
No one will

meant for the
walking dead.
Come out quickly
from amongst them.
Let the light
of love however
faint or small
shine beautifully
into the tunnel

I am not

I moved on.
I've metamorphosed
into a
different being.
The past does
not return,
the rest of
my life will not.
I'm no longer
available in

THIS MOUNTAIN

I can tell you
for sure that
this mountain
you are carrying

Be humble you

Is it not more

make you feel bad.
Life is too short to be
waisted on anger,
bitterness and hatred
for the people
you were supposed to love.
You can not be angry,
and have joy
at the same time.
Though they are not so far
away from each other,
they are both on
a different sphere.
Each can only touch
you by invitation.
And only you can get rid
of it in your life.
Never let it ruin

A PRODIGAL SON
Emeka Mokeme Apr 2019
He didn’t know
what it meant
to be a
son until he
became a father
of a son
who doesn't know
how to be
a true son.
A son who
acts like a
stranger in his
own home and
not comfortable
in his own skin.
Prodigal son
regrettably.
Prideful and
stubbornness are
wrapped up in him.
Messed up with
drugs and alcohol
and women.
A thief and
a bisexual young
man so lost
in the wildernesses
of life.
Without help he
will be consumed.
An only son.
Always away
from home,
a hobo seeking
for something
he doesn't know
or understand.
He doesn't even
know that
the sun has
set for him.
Said he didn't
want to inherit
the ignorance
of the father,
because he doesn't
want to follow
a decent path
to earn a living.
Doesn't want to
be counselled
or educated in
the rudiments of life.
He seems to
forget that
a man cannot
have a son
before his father.
He wished the
son is smart
enough to see
how dumb he is.
Still loves him
so very much
but it breaks
his heart to
see what the
son is doing
to himself.

Whatsoever you

What you watch

put a leash
on your thoughts.
Whatever you
allowed inside

See not that
which distorts

It will mar

whatsoever enters
the estate of
your mind
takes a seat.
While dining
with you
binds it with
fetters so strong,
you may never
escape from
it's grip,

becomes dyed with
the color of
it's thoughts.

Our heart met  
and love blooms.
Beautifully it happened,
like a butterfly
dancing in the wind,
drawn to a
beautiful flower,
love found us.
Indeed she saw
my past
and stepped into
my future.
Customized with
my completeness.
Love could never
have found a
better home than
our hearts.

I AM MORE
Emeka Mokeme Jan 2020
The cut is deep
and hurts so bad.

Numbed to my bones,
the marrows freezed
like the water
in the ice box.

But my heart
and my soul
affected is
is now healed.

By the hands
of him whose
touch is like
the balm of Gilead

I found succor
and deliverance
that's soothing,
calming and comforting.

Full of love
and compassion,
he offered warmth
and solace to
my fragile heart.

His presence
strengthened my frail
tired body.

And now my soul
vitalized by the
divine effulgence
which gave it strength.

I'm a renewed being,
recreated and different.

My nature changed
to that of
an exulted being.

I am more
than you could
ever imagined.

A creature of heaven
in an earthly body.

Purified and sanctified
for this very purpose.

And in pursuit
of this purpose,
I found myself.

YIELD TO LOVE
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2018
To lavishly love and joyfully
share your life with happiness
is always going to heal your soul,
your life and your brokenness.
The heart that loves
cannot hurt anyone.
Never hurt the person
whose only intention was
to make you happy.
You will even be more lonely
when you hurt that person who
in vulnerability stretches and
extended his heart to
you in fellowship.
For your stony heart in confusion
will even be more devastated.
Recognize that there's only one
thing that you will ever do but
to yield to the tenderness of love.
Stop struggling and opposing
yourself but with gladness
welcome the heart that
opens up to you.
It's tenderness will soften
your brokenness and lift your soul
higher to receive the strength
that only comes from the one
whose heart God dwells.
Being deeply loved by someone
gives you strength,
while loving someone deeply
gives you courage.
Don't ever hurt anyone,
especially the one you love
for your stony heart will be so burned,
messed up and consumed
that it will be nearly impossible
for help to come and be rescued.
Yield to love and live.

I WILL SHINE AGAIN
Emeka Mokeme Feb 2018
I stood watching
as she walked away
Dumbfounded by
the reason she gave
She wanted me
but preferred the other
If only she knew
what she missed
As a prince I have pride too
I knew she was just a
messed up kid in the hood
As I stood there watching
I already know I won't
see her ever again
But another is waiting
For what you lose on the swing,
you gain on the roundabout
I am a prince
I am my mothers child
My fathers very own
I am precious
I am a mystery to be unraveled
I am the sun
I will shine again.

QUIET REBEL
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
My only inheritance,
rekindled an old flame
long dead and forgotten,
scar of an old wound,
still so painful with so
much anguish and agony
with great struggles,
but I left with my
dignity in tact.
Something that
supposedly died
resurrected again,
It ended long ago
but now still alive.
Haunted by the
ghost in the dark,
the vampire pursued,
hungry for blood.
As a quiet and
silent rebel
against the tides
of the world
the heart is guilty of the
things left undone.
Great escape of the
innocent ones done.
Drop dead enacted
and engaged to
overcome the crisis.
The hustle is over,
and the circle
current stopped.
The blood ******* vampire
disappeared into oblivious
abyss and never to come back.
The true change has come
and restructuring is now in place.

THE SOURCE
Emeka Mokeme Jun 2019
Go back to
the source of

as allowed in nature.

WISH FOR YOU
Emeka Mokeme Dec 2018
This wish is for
you who cares,
the wish is for
you who peeps
into my heart,
to see what
lies deep beneath
within it,
the one who
is so courageous
and has taken
the time out
to find a seat
even when there's
an earthquake within.
A happy heart
with good feelings,
that is what i
meant by that wish.
Wishing you the
very best life
can give,
the amazing sweet
awesomeness life
can offer you.
The beginning of
something uniquely
magnificently and
beautifully new
will arise to meet you.
Let the start of
a new dawn
emerge for you.
May it enfold
you in it's
***** and have
the fruits to
bless your life.
May your roots
be refreshed and
the dead leaves
of your life
start to sprout again.

THE UNFORGETTABLE
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2018
You must know that
this world is too small.
It is that small tiny
part in our lives
that we give away to people
but they forget what
it means to love
and how to care,
because it is so small.
Don't ever take anything
or anyone for granted,
for everyone is important,
they make up
the textures of our lives.
They are definitely divinely
placed in our lives for a purpose
and that's why when they are gone,
we can't be able to forget about them,
the heart still remembers.
They are the unforgettable.
No matter however you want
to not remember them,
they are unshakable from your heart.
It seemed as if they
hang on to each heart beat
to remind you of how much you
don't know and understand about living
as well as you thought you know.
Find a new way to live
and love the unlovable.
Are we not still learning how to love,
live and care for each other.
But is there really an unlovable person,
or are you the one who really needs
to soften your heart.
Live your life amongst others
so beautifully that you will become the unforgettable.

BEAUTIFULLY GRACIOUS
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2019
Sad beautiful truth
we must confront.
Love has wings,
flies away when
not nurtured and
if iniquity wraps
the heart.
Love with all
your heart at
this present moment,
before your morning
turn into night.
Love stays
only when your
ego dies.
It will embrace
your heart,
only if you can
genuinely forgive
yourself and the
one you hurt.
Love kills the
pride of self
with its light,
piercing softly through
the darkness of
the soul.
Softly it binds the
two hearts together.
Nothing can be
more beautifully gracious
than hope uniting
two in love
making them one.

LETTING GO
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2018
The heart shivers and
cries within for the
unnecessary hold of
the one loved before.
The heart unresolved
by reason of the past.
Feelings from way back long
before surge into the heart.
The soul still has not fully
recovered from the hurts of
the one loved long before.
Still reminiscing about
what happened to us.
Can I ever even be alright.
I still wear the garment
of the past,
it's still tight on my skin,
seems as if i won't let go
from the grip that easily.
I gave a piece of my heart away.
That is the price I must pay
for loving too much.
But to let go I must,
if I must get on with my life
with dignity and respect.
Happiness awaits me,
for the heart must have another.
I know I must forgive to set myself
and another free from this self prison.
But forgiveness does not mean
that I want you back.
What does it even mean
if I must ask,
it simply means I have to
let you go for my own peace of mind.
I must go away because,
another phase of life begins,
for another one who loves me is waiting.

THE WAY YOU ARE
Emeka Mokeme Aug 2019
See the way
you made me feel,
i smile like
i won a trophy.
But indeed
you are the
best trophy
I've ever won.
Your presence comforts
my heart and
your words make
the day beautiful.
Your smile radiates
like the stars
in the night sky.
It shines like
the twinkling star,
that caused my heart
to race like
the gazelle running
down the hill
on a quiet evening.
So soft and
tender are your
embrace,
like that of
a soft smooth
symphony orchestra.
Beautiful as the
sun shinning over
the shimmering snow.
Reminds me of
the joyful tenderness
of a beautiful soul.
You are the
one who makes
my heart smile.
You caused my
soul to flip
like the butterfly
dancing over the
wild flowers in
the orchard.

REAL BEAUTY
Emeka Mokeme Mar 2019
Most things beautiful
fades with time.
Charm is deceptive,
beauty is vain
and not skin deep.
All is vainglory
and are temporal.
Beauty is like
the green leaves
at autumn season
that changed
their colors and
fall away.
Illusions of the
optical eyes are
actually like magic
in which things
are not what
they seem.
Objectify their form
and you will
see their difference
in appearance.
Nothing less and
nothing much can
be deduced out
of all their
shenanigans.
Behind the eyes,
hidden beneath
a wrinkled face
lies the beauty of
a beautiful soul.
In that subtle
solemn smile,
hidden in the
quietness of his
silence is the
true treasure of a
time tested wisdom
of the mystery
of his nature.
There is nothing
so passionately
exquisite than
an encounter with
a beautiful soul
with a mysterious
alluring smile that
revealed his
gracefulness.
Heaven is within
that soul,
touched by the
afflatus of the
spirit drawn from
the cosmic.
Never have i
seen anyone or
anything so magnificent
as a soul
touched by heaven.
Such is the
heart full of
love divine,
infused by the
hieros gamos,
the sacred marriage,
that makes mortals
into deities and,
possessors of heaven
and earth.
They are almost
equals to Angels.
Always doing good.

WAYS OF THE WARRIORS
Emeka Mokeme Dec 2018
The ways of
the warriors and
the sign of the
warrior are complex.
An odd fellow.
chosen among many
to join the elite forces.
Sworn to the
oath of secrecy.
Lives by honour
and guided by
the secret code.
Expendable.
No retreat,
no surrender.
By fire by fire.
A do or die.
The One who
must die trying.
Hard nut to crack  
The Rock  
Never give up.
Resilient and unflinching.
Dare to do
as well as
a warrior of
the Knight Templers.
Terrible and terrifying
when provoked.
Tactical and strong hearted.
Your worst nightmare.
Gentle as a
dove.
Respected.
Loyal and trusted.
A protector of the weak
as well as the mighty.
A reliable and
true brother indeed.
Never leaves anyone behind.
The noble one.
Understanding and wise.
A loner but friendly.
A listener and
patient with children.
A terror to the
insurgents and
the hoodlums.
Dreaded but loving.
A great father and
provider for the family.
The fearless one.
The right hand of the king.
The man of war.
The punisher
with no mercy for
the evil ones.
The striker who
make the elephants flee.
He is favoured
by the gods.
He is born to conquer
for he comes from the
lineage of the warriors.
Don't mess with him
for he is a warrior.

SACRED SAVE HEAVEN
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
One must travel
over the mountains,
the seas and over
the dessert,
beyond the wall,
and beyond every
comfort zone
to discover the
real truth about this
world we are living in.
Hidden inside the
forest and deep within
the ocean are placed the
things needed to sustain us.
Man needs to awaken
from our deep slumber
to discover and cultivate it.
Who will save the
kingdom and the people.
The universe is connecting
everything to suit you.
The world awaits you,
stretch forth your hands.
To awaken within the dream
is our purpose now.
When we are awake
within the dream,
the ego-created earth-drama
comes to an end
and a more benign and wondrous dream arises.
This is the new earth.
Let's possess the earth
and make it a little grandeur,
much better sacred save heaven.

LOVING EACH OTHER
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
Embrace each other
but in-brace
in love,
touch each others
soul with the
beauty of your heart,
but feel the flutters
of love deeply
as if drunk
on the wine
of your love.
Know but understand
the very mind
and being of
each other.
You are truly in love:
very much in love.
Embrace each other
with everything
that's in you
to be fused
together as one.
Never ever
let go in
your heart the
one you love,
hold on tight
with your hands
as well as
with your embrace.
Your lives are
intertwined and
woven by love.
The thin line
that binds you
together as one
will definitely and
eventually disappear
after a while.
Be interested in
each others
well-being and
nurture yourselves.
Bliss and peace
shall be
your potions.
Don't worry about
the deep end
of the darkness,
but just float.
For your heart
will fly upward
towards the
morning sun to
be invigorated again
after every dip
in life's storm.

GOOD TO BE HERE

The day you
cried in the
rain,
did it really
washed off your
pain.
A day after

was it actually
your turn.
To be in
love with you,
is it not
a good thing.
All came out
because it is

There's something
on your teeth,
let me see it.
You see it's
not so hard
to smile.
It gets easier
by the day.
Be assured,
it can only
get better.
You are the
one to decide
which way your
life goes.
Plan to work
out your plans
and finally reach
your goal.
Truly there's
nothing more
beautiful than
to be here
at this moment
with you.
It's really good
just to be here.

BEAUTIFUL AS IT UNFOLDS
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
At the corner of
the room I see you,
I see your heart
fluttering like a
butterfly looking for
flowers to drink on
the juice of the nectar.
Hungry and dashing
here and there
collecting and competing
with the honey bees.
Both at work on same thing
but different purpose.
With so much love they work,
sensitive and not hurting
the flowers.
Unwittingly triggered pollination,
with love visiting homes and
gardens with their presence.
Gently without complaining,
they both share same flower
without striving to ****
themselves over nothing.
There's enough abundance
distributed all over.
Beautiful as it
unfolds to reveal
the secrets of life in nature
abundantly displayed
in full supply.
Let the heart follow
the one it's attracted to
and fully enjoy every
single moment as
if it's the last.

LOVING IN FORGIVENESS

As we love
in forgiveness,
speak to me
from your heart,
that place of
love and my
heart will resonate.
Be patient
with me my love
and forgiveness will
be our best friend
and daily break fast.
Embrace me as
if you'll never
see me again
and I'll never
go away.
As a fragrance
of ylang-ylang and
lilac oil perfume,
I'll stick with
you like a
beautiful body odour.
Like a dance
to a serenade
of a beautiful orchestra,
you float like
an angel as
i watch you
take a walk
in the garden
this morning.
You are a
beautiful gift from
the gods and
I'll never finish
unwrapping you
in this lifetime.
Take a chance
with me,
let's sail together
far into the sea
of life and
explore love.
Let's love in
forgiveness and patience.

THE HEART IN LOVE
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
And nothing is greater,
stronger or above and
beyond the heart in love,
for love is greater than
your heart and cannot be
condemned even if you err,
for love forgives a
multitudes of errors.
Divine love is established
in the soul of man when
God resides and abides
in the castle of the heart.
May this love divine possess
your heart,
let this love take over your being,
may you be given the power of
will to accept and show it.
Love can be so powerful
and yet be so forgiven.
With love enough,
errors melts before
condemnation.
You will become like an egg
in the eyes of the gods,
cherished and protected,
nurtured and replenished.
The heart that can't forgive
is a sick one and cannot heal.
An unforgiving heart is rotten
to the core.
The beauty of the heart is
deep and mysteriously
wrapped up with love,
as a gift to mankind.
Whosoever love finds worthy
is free and such heart is
supreme and surrounded by
numerous companies of Angels.

THE REAPER CAME
Emeka Mokeme Apr 2019
Is this Deja Vu,
seems so strange
but so familiar.
With an uncanny
feeling like it
has happened before.
Is this just
a glimpse into
the past.
Seemed so weird,
with a feeling
so wired.
Like those
mornings when
the sun shines
so brightly but
the dark still
looms in the corner,
when gloom like
an umbrella hovered
and towered overhead,
like the cobwebs
that scattered
over the ceiling
of an abandoned
old hut,
guilt hung over
the feelings.
The head looks
down in shame,
disgraced as if
the face is
really messed up
with excreta.
I patiently watched
as they tried
so hard to
redeem themselves.
But nature was
so adamant to
respond favorably,
for their past
crimes are irredeemable.
Karma now knocks
on the door.
The reaper is
harvesting his wages.
He is not
looking at faces,
neither is he
a respecter of
class and status.
What they sowed,
they now reap.

UNTIL THE MORNING GREETS ME
Emeka Mokeme Mar 2019
From my eyes,
you will see
the way my
heart feels
for you and
how much i
miss you.
There,
the tears of
love freely flows
like the stream
down my cheeks.
My face stained
of tears,
tells the tale of
how much all
these made
me feel.
From my shaky
strained voice,
you already
knew how much
I've cried.
But you'll never
see how my
heart really hurts.
The pain of
the brokenness is
what keeps
my heart awake
at night.
The thoughts of
you kills my joy
and rob me
of peaceful sleep.
This restlessness
makes me feel
like drinking tequila
tonight.
But I'll wait
awhile to see
if the humming birds
will bring the
news of you
in the morning.
This moment,
the road is
still empty of the
sight of you
as I watch.
Even now i
can't see the
dust on the road
rising to tell
me that you
are close by.
I will just
sit out here
tonight and watch
the moon and
count the stars
until the morning
greets me with
the songs of
the birds.
