If you are going
to tell me to leave,
i might but I won't.
I just can't.
Leave to where.
I've come a long way
just to be here
I can't quit.
I just got here.
This journey wont
just end now,
and here ever,
it has just began.
The time mark
just started.
Tick tock,
tick tock,
can you hear it.
It's been there
all along.
And I'm going
all the way,
to find the end
or is it the beginning.
It's  like the snake
biting it's tail.
The end or the
beginning,
whichever comes first,
it's still alright.
Both are points of
beginning.
Nothing ever ends,
only beginnings,
beautiful beginning
of something new.
Dawning wonderful,
new beginning.
Don't leave it,
and don't ever quit.
It is what it is
and it's all good.
I don't know what
I don't know.
But If you know,
you know.

It is not just
a thing of the past,
it is dead.
And you are still
on the ground floor.
Time to stop
mourning over what
is not worthy of grief,
remove the ashes
and smile again.
You didn't
loose anything,
it's just not
worthy of you.
Arise now and
know that it can
only get better.
Nothing last forever.
Custodians we are,
just for awhile.
Real treasure are
hidden and kept
away forever within the
depths of our hearts.
Don't look for it
with the optical eyes
but look deeper
beyond space and time.
Tucked away in our
hearts are the jewel
of inestimable value.
The gem and true
treasure are safely
hidden therein.
The heart is the
true garden of Eden.
There,we live forever,
immortality is wrought
therein within the
depths of our hearts.
The spiritual essence
in the fire of love
will transmute
anything not worthy
of entrance into
the chamber of
the heart where
the spirit dwells.
And something significant
of different quality of
another new seed will sprout.

If I must be perfect before
I can be accepted by you,
Remember then,
that the same perfection
you seek of me,
that same perfection
you demand,
The same perfection which
you seldom possess,
Will exclude you,
because you,
my dear,
Are not perfect.

It was a
beautiful sight
outlined up in
the starry sky
this night.
The galaxy is
so full of
the stars as
if there's merriment
tonight with the
new moon at
the corner.
Something uniquely
magnificently and
specially magical
is happening,
unknown to many.
Tonight all the
stars came out
to display and
aligned themselves with
breathtaking beauty.
They are passionately
exquisite to behold.
With beauty so
extraordinary and
shinning so brightly,
adorn with grace
as they glitter.
Perfectness is
wrapped and
wrought in them.
Who knows if
our own lives
are linked to
the extraterrestrial.
Seems like the
stars has a
good hold on
our destiny and
the wheel of life.
The secrets of
life are with
the stars and
encoded within the
depths of time,
singing out their
melody to the world.
And if you
can hear their
songs at night,
definitely know you
are now no
more a prisoner
of the earth.

I have never been
anything this way
but happy.
How can I ever find
you to explain how
you make me feel.
I know I am going to
be happy with you
again in my heart
because my life will be
better and so beautiful
with you in it. .
For the glory you
exude has been
wonderful.
I guess it's all good,
for knowing you is
amazingly beautiful
and divinely awesome.
To have known you is
a little slice of heaven.
What we shared can
never be dead,
because nothing is ever
really dead if you look at it.
It can be rekindled again
if we just try hard enough.
Trust me it can be beautiful again.

Are you tired of
me already.
Is it not too soon,
don't you think.
I know you are bored
and want to jump ship
and explore some more.
Different taste of many
things brings different
results and reactions
from diverse points.
Could you at least stay
a little bit longer,
just hang on for a while
and experience the
serenity of a peaceful life.
It's not been long
you got here,
just wait awhile.
Jumping in and out so fast
can elude happiness.
Take your time to find
the joy and the bliss in it,
for it comes by consistent
and persistent approach,
And only by invitation it can
visit and abide with you
and then you learn how to
permanently hold and keep it.
My life needs a strong stable
companion to complete it.
Someone who deserves the
same and the best.

Where is your honor,
where is your faith.
Did your strength fail
or are you hiding
your face from shame.
Nothing much can be
done for anyone who
has lost the will to live.
When hope eludes you,
then death is eminent.
Do not be defeated
by the pesky unfortunate
circumstances popping
up here and there in
your life to harass
and disparage you.
You are not of the
down world but full of
zest and of life.
Hold on to your life
with so much love
and gentleness.
Your life is a gift,
cherish it.
It is a treasure worthy
to be guarded with might.
Honor it with dignity
and respect for you
are a unique blessing
to the world.
Never be untitled for
you are greater than
anything ever created.
Supernaturally superior
to anything in the universe.
Be glad that you are here
and all these too shall pass.

Nothing ever happens
or works out
or ends without
striving to struggle
making it thrive.
The entire universe
follows a proper
process to arrange
everything and
make all things
right for the
cosmic law fulfills.
The earth has
been given
us to excel
in a unique way,
filled with love
and blessings enough
for everyone by
grace to sustain us.
Negative manipulation
of it brings
disaster to our
doorstep.
Our footsteps are
so directed diligently
towards goodness
to avoid calamity.
How then can
we not make
meaning out of
the promised path.
Inconsequential and
irrelevant are your
notions when it
does not necessarily
take you to
the miraculous.
Can we necessarily
know exactly when
to do the
right thing.
You will know,
of course.
Just a thought.
War doesn't determine
who is right.
Only who is left.

At this hour of unbearable
and unbelievable unimaginable
heartrending shocking presence
of cruelty going on in our communities.
It looks as if the heaven shut it's doors,
people ***** and dabble in darkness.
Wickedness is competing with brutality.
Seems like the heart of man no longer
knows what it feels like to temper
justice with mercy.
Atrocities are the order of the day.
No day passes by without a form of intimidating and gruesome issues rearing itself amongst the people.
Blood flows like the rivers and no one seems to care.
Children wailing on the streets looking for their mothers and relatives scattered out in the desert and the bushes hiding from their predators.
Not as if they don't know what to do but
their hearts are hardened by greediness.
Conflict of interests with confusion presents itself in resolution of the matter.
Killing of women and children very disturbing,
beheading the men and burning down houses
are ongoing in different places,
and very gruesome.
One wonders if heaven has turned it's back against the people.
Evil concupiscence overtakes the people.
Where is your God they seem to ask.
Is there no way of escape from these killers?
Remember your promise oh God,
Save your children from these calamities.
Stop these acts of wickedness,
bring succour and joy to your people.

There is definitely
different shades
of green.
Beautiful and
colorful.
It reminds one
of healing.
The green in
the summer.
The lush green
vegetation,
let us see
the strong life.
Like the mingle
and merging
of the chameleon
on a greenish
vegetation.
It's colour change
made it disappear.
The dodging is
so magical,
wonderful and
amazingly thrilling.
Nothing like it
is ever seen.
Nature at its finest.
So captivating and
breathtaking.
How did that
happen,
i really can't tell.
Wishing i can
disappear like that
for a moment
into the oblivion,
just to know
what lies beyond
the other sphere.
The realm of
the unknown will
then become known.
That which is
not revealed yet
will then be
made manifest.
Some day the
night will suddenly
turn into day
and all those
creepy night crawlers
will be seen.
Remember nothing
soever is hidden,
absolutely nothing.
All will come
to light in due time.

It is not
every word uttered
neither is it everyone
that I want
to answer verbally.
Most times words
are unnecessary.
The times for words
are ending and
my silence will
speak now.
Sometimes my silence
speaks louder with
a deafening tone.
As my heart
always speaks in
silence to those
who want to hear
my vocal thoughts,
the voice becomes mute
but my mind
shouts out my thoughts
while my tongue
is ******* to my palate.
You can still
hear my voice
if you really listen.
As my silence
impressively imprint
it's signature to
your psyche.
Your being will
always know my intent.
You may not
be so sure
but your inside knows
what is in
the mind of the spirit.
But i speak
as only my
silence invoked.
Be still if
you want to
hear it.

This monstrous being,
an entity from
another realm
stealthily and silently
moved slowly
with calmness
in the darkness.
Maybe it's unaware
of my presence
or maybe it's just
ignoring me
as I'm not a
treat to it.
I heard the
cricket chirping
and the night
frog crocking at
a distance in
the darkness.
Their song unwittingly
helped make the
night feel more
mysteriously outstanding.
The night was
dreadfully and
awfully quiet.
There is something
very ominous
about this night.
It sends the
goosebumps
up my spine.
It was drizzling.
The stars of
the night were
sleeping and the
clouds was devoid
of any light
except the sound
of thunderstorm
shattering the sky,
piercing even into
the interior
of the house.
Sleep has gone,
replaced by
restlessness and
curiosity mixed with
fear and apprehension.
Alone here hiding
after the terror
of the dusk.
It's a horrible
experience so terrifying
that I can't
even breath.
I can see
faintly the
silhouette of that
entity moving
away from me,
and I exhaled
with so much
gladness to be
free from this
terrible monster.
People will never
truly understand
something until it
happens to them.

Your energy introduces
you before you
even speak.
This force impressed
itself upon our being
and exacts a lot
of perplexing imprint
on our aura which
in turn exhibit us
to our sphere
and environment.
Around you swirls
a magnetic energy field
that's so powerful,
an aura of extreme
electromagnetic resonance
with a powerful wavelength,
radiating and vibrating
in unison with
a magnificent octaves.
Colorful with different hues,
uniquely woven and
fashioned naturally in
our system and imbedded
perfectly into our nature,
abundantly displayed
and lavished infinitely
with love.
Interchangeable and so
divinely sublime with
a subtle expression.
This energy field is
the in-thing that set
you apart and identifies
you from afar.

She cried like
a baby whimpering
alone in an
abandoned room.
Like a wolf
at the full moon,
she howls.
As if to
magically call down
the powers of
the spirits from
their hidden places,
she utters those
strange words
into her cauldron,
out of which
came out a
strange smelly
choking dark smoke.
Her sinister smile,
a warning to
keep your distance
from the abode.
Close by is
the figure of
a gargoyle where
she fetched her
rain water.
Laboreka-kwashindo-
kakiska hin,
she screamed with
a cracked deafening
voice that sends
chills up the spine.
And the firmament
responded with a
super sounds of
thunderstorm shattering
the sky night.
The last witch
of Avulalon from
the lineage of Adim
conjuring her magic.

We know that
when sweetness overtakes
the bitterness of life,
everything will be fine,
the wind will speak,
butterflies will dance,
love will swallow me
and you my dear,
will surely dance
with the wind.
Laughter will be
heard again in
the lonely
abandoned heart.
The sun shall definitely
always rise every
morning to greet you and
shine so beautifully
with a warm smile
to encourage you.
The light of hope
will bring joy
and happiness of
heaven closer to
embrace your heart.
Your night and
dark days shall
be illuminated by
the striking hues
of beautiful rays
to usher in healing.
All illusions shall
melt away to
give way to divine truth.
Bliss shall return
to bring tenderness
to our brokenness.
Your adversaries shall
be subdued for
the sake of freedom.
And your heart
shall experience
the beauty and
sweetness of love.

Can i ever
find you in
the stars or
your love in
the rivers that
constantly flows
and meandering
following its path
and destiny
but never stops
for anyone.
Can i find
constant and consistent
love in this fickle
heart that never
stops beating.
When will this
breeze that rushes
past me ever stops
to wait for me,
maybe love is
hidden within
your speed.
How can i
ever catch up
with the spirit
in the air
or hold it
within my palm,
maybe love can
stop and just
for a moment
embrace my being.
How is it
that my optical
eyes can not
behold the things
of the heart,
yet i can
feel the
eternal presence
of it's breathe
pounding within
as if it
wants to burst out
into the open
like the ocean tide
that will later
finally abates.
Maybe love is
just a fleeting
illusion that is
better take in
like the air
into the lungs
just to live
from moment to moment.
If you ever
find it's hiding
place would you
please tell
love I'm also
looking and waiting.

She came in
from the dark,
walked in through
the front door,
smiling as if she
won a lottery.
But she is a
player and have
a secret plan.
Another fire is
set to burn.
Something freaking
spooky about
to be unleashed.
There are snakes
up her sleeves.
Dangerously different,
dubious in nature.
Amazon battle is
about to start.
Like a snake
that swallows another,
death is waiting
for the unsuspecting
naive weak ones
who are lured
into her trap
with manipulative
cunning crafty words.
There is death
in her mouth,
never kiss her.
There is poison
in her cup,
never drink out of it.
Her beauty is deadly,
don't be enticed
by her looks.
Her bed is
like the sepulchre,
a grave of the
foolish that can't
sense danger.
She dances her
way into the
lustful heart and
then like the
vampire goes for
the jugular and
send you to the
great beyond.
Avoid her like
a plague or
something terrible will
devour you alive.

It's not in me,
neither is it
in your configuration
and make up
to live in
another's skin.
In poise,
you cannot stand
for me.
You definitely,
cannot breathe
for me,
or think for me.
It baffles me,
how you
suddenly became,
the director
of my life,
when you can't
manage yourself.
I will have
to decline
your offer,
and say no
to you.
My path is mine
and mine alone.
Let me discover
it's valley's and
creeks and fountains.
Allow me to
follow this ancient
path to climb
my mountain.
Everyone must follow
their own path
to this ancient
ancestral territory.
The soul in
your tabernacle must
go through the
rigours alone.
It must be
purified by this
sacred fire burning
in my soul to
be pure.
Don't interfere with
the divine helpful
abilities to ennoble
me to become.
I am always
becoming that thing,
which I am.

The warrior in
me arise to
fight back
as he confronts
the troubling monsters
within the gate.
For the very
first time
he will not
sheath his sword.
He knows that
God will forgive
but he won't.
The demons within
are not
worth forgiven.
The warrior is
ready to fight
his battle against
whatsoever stands
on his way
to the kingdom.
He must conquer
all to gain
entrance into the
inner corridor of
the spiritual bliss.
Since a son
decided to have
a son before
his father,
the warrior will
show him that
it is not
possible ever,
because the river
does not and
cannot flow backward.
With the sword

and the help
of the Almighty,
the warrior wins
his battles of self.

Without a paddle,
the right paddle,
will there be a
perfect ride to a score.
The passengers surfers
but surely will survive.
Are you the guardians
of the galaxy or the earth.
How did you now become
the masters of the universe.
This bizarre impression,
this beautiful fantastic
notion with hidden figures
is impossible to fathom.
There are deadly secrets
lurking by the side
waiting to manifest.
Don't tell anyone they say,
but how can you not even
see their hidden presence.
Within you lies the power to
evade the tremendous impact
of their monstrous acts.
The tipping point is here to
turn around everything to
your advantage.
What you lose on the swing
you gain on the roundabout.
Deal or no deal there will
be a total wipe out.
When a snake is about to
swallow another snake,
there is always a battle,
but one has to die in order
for the other to live.

You disliked
to read and
hear the words
flowing from
my heart,
yet you just said
you loved me.
You don't like
what comes
out of me,
because it affects
you like wine.
But you claimed
I'm the world
to you and
love me as
yourself but you
never listened
to my soul.
Among those
who disliked,
and never
liked a prophet,
i count you
in their number.
My words pierced
the soul and
sing songs to your
spirit and your
heart trembled.
You are afraid
of what my words
will do to your mind.
You are scared
to be in love
with me and
my words.
You are so
flipped out and
can't show your
vulnerability.
You are so
annoyingly sensitive,
you can't feel
and love deeply.
Do not worry
about it,
i understand everything,
perfectly.
My poetry is
like a soothing
sound heard in
the middle of
the forest,
the flute of
the soul to
bring solace to
your tired body,
the muse of
the spirit to
comfort you.
Understand me
but don't struggle
with yourself,
i beg of you.

Bouncing back
from rejection has
a way of
affecting us.
The pain is
a lot like
physical pain,
we feel the
pain so deeply,
its heart wrenching.
This is how
perfectionism fails us.
It's best to
celebrate the little
wins and imperfect
moments alongside
the big successes
to combat our
fear of failure.
We all have
an area,
closet,
shelf or
drawer that
remains a mess,
despite our
best efforts.
Hiding behind the
scenes of our
closest is a
terrible idea.
Take a walk,
go for that
long swim,
be creative,
take a new class.
Spend time with
nature and do
some gardening,
until your heart
is ready for
someone new

This is a
remote place,
so far away
from people,
you can barely
see or hear
anything except
the water drops
from the rooftop
and the birds
chirping on the
trees outside,
the calmness and
solitude of this
place can almost
pierce your ears.
It is a dark
spooky place hidden
within the depths
of a cave
that i discovered
myself and my
hidden strength.
A scary revelation
of my true self
emanated from within.
In the darkest
corner of this
cold isolated lonely
room where monsters
tempts and Angels
dwells to save
and set free the lost
came the best of me.
Out of great
suffering and pain,
quite and far
away from the
prowling eyes of
humans,
strange things happens.
There within me,
the sense of self,
ignited by the
influence of the spirit,
the light shined.
I found a
place of peace,
my happy place.
And the darkness
in me disappeared
like a thief
in the Arabian
desert at night,
it flew away
like a caged bird
seized by an
old Arab princess.

Listen,
and be warned,
you that is
full of drama
and doubts ravaging
your sense of self.
How can you be,
when you cannot
find your true
self within you.
You can never
discover outside
yourself all that
which is
not within you.
Everything you
are required to
have is inside you.
If the things
important have no
value to you,
how then can
you find the
beauty outside
of you.
Gems are buried
within you.
You are the
mine that has
never been explored.
You are like
a fertile ground
not cultivated.
All your potentials
are hidden within.
Know your value
and your beauty
and your essence.
Appreciate all of
whatever you are.
Know yourself,
your world and
your God.

You are my
unspeakable elixir.
The thoughts of
you warms
my heart with
joy and gladness.
Your love
captivates
my heart.
You are the
one that
makes my heart
beats faster.
The one whose
voice melts my heart.
The one who
made me go
weak at the knees.
Your presence
is comforting
and reassuring,
soothing and gloriously
unimaginably beautiful.
Your embrace
makes my day.
Your smile warms
and melts the
cold and darkness
that looms at noonday.
The one that
calms down the
earthquakes i feel
in my heart.
The one whose
breathe is
my strength.
Come away with me
to the dance
call of love.
I want to
meet you at the
middle path of
the rhythm of
your heart beats.
Where heaven and
the earth resonates
without interference.
Where the soul
dances to the
beating of the
hearty melody.
It is there
that my heart
joyfully want to
walk with you.

With your eyes
you saw it,
with your mind,
you believe
or disagree.
With your heart
you know the
truth behind the
hidden secrets
of the heart.
The spirit searches
the mind for truth.
It is really truly
tremendously
incredibly indelibly
absolutely
informatively
mind blowing.
But don't twist
my words for
your own agenda
or the trolls will
crawl up into
your crazy mind
and give you
a delirious dream.
You will never
know the darkness,
understand the emptiness,
or feel the pain
i went through
just to be here.
The ugly scar
on my face,
my silence over
your petty pesky
harassment is a
deep sign of
discipline and
determination to get
you off my rocker.
It's my way
of showing you
that I've been
there too and
i survived.
And I'm still
standing right here,
telling you to
stop now and
survive this too.

Beyond this
gate of death
is another life
quite unknown.
Beyond everything
that we do
or acquired,
there is no
longer true heartfelt
desired satisfaction
when the goal
is reached.
Out of all
our painful struggles
disturbing thoughts and
concerns with
sleepless nights,
nothing is really
gained but memories
that will soon
disappear and
remembered no more.
Is it really
truly worth it,
the many greedy
things that made
you think that
your brothers and
relatives and friends
were your enemies
because you wanted
what doesn't
belong to you,
something you will
probably never see
again and will finally
leave behind and
sold out by
the ones you
tried to please.
All my ancestors
prowess and victories,
and lands left
behind are sold out
and no longer valid
and valued.
Should I really
continue in my
struggles to amass
the things that
will someday in
the near future
be discarded.
What now are
the essence of
all these struggles
that has induced
health challenges.
Is it not
better and beneficial
to invest more
within my spirit
where the true
treasures are built.
All what I've
acquired has turned
around against me,
to destroyed me
without having the
chance to enjoy it.

This is a
love beyond
the sword.
The real death
do us part.
The vow they
took is not
just ordinary,
it's of the spirit.
The ordinance is
of the heavens.
The words uttered,
is of love
from the soul,
and it's pureness
of the divine.
You know a
man from the
words he said
to his woman.
I'm talking about
a noble man,
a provider and
a protector.
The words flowing
from that man's
heart is to be
taken seriously.
It's the word
of wisdom,
full of so
much love.
Attend to it
diligently with
delightful heart.
Decorate it's
castle with love
to keep him
to yourself
instead of setting
up a trap
to catch him
cheat on you.
This life is
so short
enjoy it immensely
together while you
are still here.
There is craziness
outside ourselves.

The innocent have
no need for
repentance.
All the good
things must end,
but how about
the bad things,
will they continue.
Have you ever
thought about that.
Both stops after
they end dancing
with you.
They are inseparable,
and like the
two sides of
the moon,
have the dark
and the bright side.
Both are twin flames,
burning and consuming,
at the same time
changing and mending
all things good
and bad.
Interwoven in synergy,
to give it balance.
Life and death
are the same
of the opposites,
complimenting
each other in
their justified actions.
You made my
heart smiled again
for i have
experienced both.
Perfection and
excellence are in
their dual nature.

The gods are wise.
Just saw the
drunken wretched
old man became
a millionaire overnight
as he picked up
from the floor
an old crumbled
piece of paper
of a lottery ticket
that changed
his life.
Did you just
see the way
the mountain
moved for him.
And yonder,
she preaches
about love.
Her heart got
hurt and broken.
She became
pregnant for the
one already taken,
the one she
can't be with.
You know already
that anyone who
desires the rose
must first deal
with the thorns.
The ability to read
and understand the
weather does not
exactly exclusively
exclude you from
rainfall.
In one way
or another everyone
must experience
the loss of
a loved one.
No one can
surely survive
a day or two
without water.
Ask those who
live in the
desert how terrible
the heat of
the sun can
be without a
shed or water.
Anyone who
refuses to listen
to the warning
of impending danger
must suffer the
consequences of
disobedience.
That is the
price he pays
for stubbornness.

The lonely moon
is half dark
and half bright.
But you are
beautiful the
way you are.
Like the moon,
you are also
half dark and
half bright.
Filled with the
light and brightness
of the sun,
you glow with
the majestic glory
of a crowned one.
The subtle light
of the new
and full moon
illuminates your life.
You are full
of wisdom and
kindness of a
noble heart.
You sit on
the throne,
but yet you
feel the sadness
and the pain of
a burdened one.
The wind blows,
the rain gathered,
and even the
storm abates but
the sun dried up
the wet ground.
The night has
fallen in daylight,
the leaves smiled,
the thunder clapped
and the heart
is sore afraid.
Even the trees
want to stand still
but the wind
will not let it.
And again the
dream never ends
and don't even exist.
So you think,
but look deeper
again beyond the
realm of this sphere.
Truly i know
nothing of your heart
but let me in,
so I will know.

She loved me so dearly,
But my heart don't feel a thing for her,
For my heart belongs to another,
The one who couldn't love me.
Why is my heart still yearning
for this one who couldn't love me.
My heart is broken to pieces,
because I loved someone
I can never have.
I loved someone but
I couldn't win her heart,
her heart belongs to another.
This life is full of complexities,
I can't comprehend it.
The one I love I can't have,
She loved another.
The one who loves me I can't be with,
my heart belongs to Someone else.
The one that hurt me from the past,
I can't have or go back to the
place where my heart ran from,
They have all moved on
and I'm still here waiting for my own.
Where are you my beloved.
Come out from the veil that enshrouds you.
I am now fully ready and patiently waiting.

What will you do
when strength
becomes weakness.
Excellence comes
from doing what
you do best,
but you need
to make sure
you're doing it
at the right times.
The voice of the
one whispering within
are sure to
gently pull you in
with his incredible
tremendous warm
and soothing delivery.
It has a
great impact to
effect your life.
There is heaven
in love if
you believe.
But do you believe.
Be in love
with the fantastic
and the divine
to experience it.
Don't be confused.
What should you
do when you lost.
Still love anyway.

The mountains
and the hills
in isolated places,
are ever bothered
by everyone,
disturbing their
solitude.
In their serenity
and calmness
they still tolerate
the encroachments
of the august visitors.
No one really
ever cares if
they needed you
to come visit.
The nature guardians
are all in
hiding in their
habitats because
of you strangers
interference in their abode.
Are the hills
too tired to
bother with your
mountain climbing.
Maybe that's
why it never
cared to move
as you crawl
all over it.
It's time to
stop and see
the fireworks.
Even it's brightness
are intriguing and
captivating as it
draws you
powerfully to itself,
but be mindful
as it lures you.
At least it's
making an effort
to show it's
exuberant prowess.
Be careful,
you might just
get burned.
But life,
this life belongs
to you.
Be careful of
what you seek
in the dark places
or you will
definitely find hell.

Love is not
bad in itself,
neither am i,
for what i
feel inside is
of love,
pure and divine
in itself.
Is it that
am not so
good enough
to be loved
or love to find me.
With all this
feeling surging
inside of me
like a river flowing
within a cave.
Am I missing
anything or is
there something
i should know.
Just sitting here
watching the
day goes by.
Can someone
come get me
before i fall
off the stars
into the sea
and disappear.
I'm really seeking
for you around
the corners.
No wonder I'm
in trouble with love.
Pushing me here
and there without
getting stuck with
someone.
Can't get enough
of all the
goodies in it.
I keep demanding
for more.
I'm so undone
for nothing
is ever so
bad that it
couldn't get worse,
that is for
sure how it works.
It can only
get better always.
Now i know
that love is
catching up on me
while i'm running
the other way,
going on a
journey to the
stars and the
sea to find it.

Everything melts as
my heart speaks,
of love and
compassion.
Not of sadness
and pain but
of relief from
burden of pesky
unfortunate and
unsolicited approach
to close an
unclassified heart.
Secrets hidden within
are all out
in the open.
Even if a
piece of boundless
classified
heart is huge,
i can find you.
Because you are
my life.
Lost in the
paradise of love within.
Deserts are nothing
compared to
the huge expanse
of what is
inside the heart.
The heart never
yields to the
lukewarmness of
a dull soul,
for the fire
of the spirit
burns up everything
that sinks the heart
into the mud.
But as slippery
and fickle as
the heart is,
it must also
be consistent and
constant in this matter,
or everything will
crash by itself.

My mouth cannot
tell all it encountered
and I can't deal
with all this drama,
controversy and
the embarrassment
and confrontations.
It is too much for
me to handle.
I really need to
leave but not
without my love,
I must pick up
the pieces for my
heart is manipulated
by this game of
love being played out.
It is very disturbing
and devastating,
hurting everyone
concerned.
Arrested development
was necessary.
The choice I made
is uncomplicated and
with eyes of mercy
comes a cry for justice.
Come in and
have a look,
I have all you need.
©2018,Emeka Mokeme. All Rights Reserved.

And I will tell
you something
you probably
don't know yet.
Your earthly
tabernacle must
be protected by
all means necessary
because the God
of your heart is
resident within the
castle of your soul.
Therefore let no one
enter your inner
kingdom unless they
come with love,
respect and dignity.
What you allow,
is what will continue.
You have an obligation
to be better everyday
in every way possible
because of the grace
that you have.
Intimacy is not purely
physical,
it is the act of connecting
with someone so deeply,
you feel like you can
see into their soul.
What is in the heart
will come out in the life.
Out of your dreams,
be born and out of your heart,
be alive and out of your soul,
be light for you are nothing else.

I entered
the inner room,
sensitively incensed
with olibanum,
lovely decorated.
It turned and
transmogrified into
a hinged cold
stone sculpture.
Not of this world
but from another
different sphere.
Handling a coiled
serpent is safer
and better than
beholding the unknown.
Getting closer,
is like touching
a strong cold
methodical machine
without a heart.
Life can be
harsh and cruel
at times and beautiful
and divinely good
at other times but
it is also always
just in it's actions,
depending on
the oscillations,
the swing and
the gyration of
the pendulum.
But the stone secret
must be kept
quietly away from
the profane.
The stone on
the mountain strolled
down with an
amazing speed at
the twilight waiting
for it's footprints
to be followed
by the wise.
For those who
walk the same
path towards the
stream of living
waters must be
the silent ones.
For silence is
the guide for
the one who
seeks to follow
the inner path.

I'm still here
standing in front
of the woman
i love wondering
if she's still
openly defending the
****** celebrity she's
never met before.
Whether she's
texting more
than one guy.
Wondering how many
of these guys
drinking and laughing
here she's
secretly seeing.
As she goes
to the ladies
bathroom to refresh,
does someone slip
some hidden note to
her for another
meeting with a guy.
Is she two timing.
Are my being played.
I really don't
know what is the
matter with me.
My heart is
so full and
my head are
spinning from these
nonsensical infestation
of nasty thoughts.
Just wondering
what this
is all about.
I needed you
to want me
as your very
own as much
as I want you.

Someone is playing
in the rain.
And another is
crying in the rain.
The other is
just doing crazy
stuff in the
same rain.
But I'm the
only one getting
off my rocker.
Something is
cooking and it's
very disturbing.
Are you thinking
what I'm thinking.
Who is going
to talk or explain
about this strange
rain of today.
Fish falling
from the sky
is definitely strange.
Can someone tell
me what is
inside the ***
of the sorcerers
that is causing
this havoc and
commotion or
was it nature's
benevolence at
play.
But i just can't tell.
It's so beautiful
and yet disruptive,
creating happy-sad
euphoria and i
vehemently
disapprove of it.
The same game
as this one
was not allowed
yesterday to continue.
Yesterday it was
frog and maybe
another time
it maybe aliens.
But the children
are happy and
having the fun
of their lives.
Unperturbed by
this strange
happenings all around.
But we shall
wait and see.

There is in
the Heavenly realm
a place for you.
Come share with
me this mystery.
Endeavour to attune
yourself
everyday to
this mansion of the soul.
Let your soul
be bathed with
the beautiful,
Harmonious
rhythmic orchestrated
symphonic music
from this sphere.
It's  rhythm is
loveable and intimate.
In Joy and sorrow you will
find it forever uplifting.
For once you
heard the mysterious
songs of the stars,
you are no longer
a prisoner of the earth.

Alone here at
the corner of
my room in
Blaisdell street
in the winter
night of November,
years ago in
Minnesota,
fresh from Africa,
stuck in this
place without a
friend or family.
Almost froozed to
death by cold,
the room not
winterized and
no heater on.
The calmness and
the loneliness almost
consumed me.
I understand what
it is you are
going through.
I know exactly
what you mean.
I've been in
that place before.
When you find
yourself in a certain
place or situation.
Surrounded by people,
and yet alone.
So lonely that
i couldn't sleep.
As if attacked
by the chilling cold
penetrating through
the walls and windows.
Hands and toes,
so numb by the
colds chilling presence.
But I learned
a great lesson,
I learned how
to find warmth
in a cold place,
in a cold heart,
I learned how to
reach out to
people with my
warm heart,
to love greatly,
to give all that
I have in the
most beautiful way.

I have never seen anyone that carried
the sun or moon on their head,
it must remain above you,
or have I seen anyone that carried
the earth on their hand or head,
it must lie beneath your feet,
neither have I seen anyone that caught
the wind with their hands,
Oh no!!!!,it must always be elusive.
Nor have I ever seen anyone
that runs faster than their shadow,
you are both inseparable.
As you talk about life,
so is death waiting
in a world only slightly beyond.
Though a man must die
before the son becomes a man,
I have not seen a man who had
a son before his father,No!!!
Sometimes there are things
unspeakable that can happen to you,
shocked,amazed
and perplexed your spirit,
make you feel hopelessly helpless.
Know there is absolutely nothing
you can do about it because
all of it comes to make up
the textures of your life.
Accept it,change it in order to Heal,
grow and to get on with your life.
You must know that
where pain is inevitable,
hope is our assurance always.
Know It can only get better with time.

As the gathering
of penguins by
the ocean side,
pestering the fishes
and fending for
themselves,
but also unwittingly
exposed as a
prey for others.
So are the
oppressors among
the people ravaging
and causing havoc
without knowing
they too exposed
themselves as a
mark to be
targeted when the
time is ripe.
The seagull calls,
warned of serious
impending danger.
But none listens,
for deafness is
one of their
many failings.
Among the creatures
of the earth,
man is the
only one so
very destructive.
So oppressive to
each other and
trying to see
how far he
can get with
his ability to
dare to do.
Not knowing that,
him too will
be in distress
and so devastated
and disadvantaged.
Would he had
known all of these,
none of these
countless dis-ease
would visit to
ravage him.

Casualty of love
is a terrible
and unbearably
unfortunate thing.
A circumstance
that can happen
to naive
unsuspecting ones.
A situation that
can be avoided.
A vibrant hot
stone that can
be hurled at
a distance.
Like a javelin
thrown in a battle,
so can it
pierce the heart.
It's brokenness can
break the spirit
and cast a
spell to jinx
your love life.
Heart attack
of the coward
to wound a
heart in love.
To ****** and
abuse the one
whose sole intent
is to make
you happy is
the way of
a sadistic ****.
To hurt the
heart where the
spirit dwells is to
offend the gods.
The cupids will
haunt you down
with hot oil
poured over their
arrows tip dipped
in fire to
pierce your body.
All disappointments
in love hurts
so bad you
can actually feel
the physical pain.
The promise
and fail,
the artful deceptions
of a crafty
cunning lips
whose mouth is
full of lies.
But all of
these ***** and
is disgusting.
It surely has
consequences too,
that can definitely
not be forgotten.

Man is like
a pebble flowing
on the sea.
Without knowing
whither it goes,
but though not lost.
Like a pinch
of salt in
an ocean that
satisfied not
the water.
Like a long
breathe of air
that can't stay
or contained
in the lungs
for long
but easily dissipates.
Life is
like a dream,
and like a
beautiful song that
suddenly ends.
Again how can
anyone know destiny,
who can stop
the sea change.
No one can
surely go back
to yesterday.
Don't know if
I'm sleeping
or awake.
I still don't
know if the
life I'm living
while awake and
the one i
live while asleep,
which one is real.
Because most
of the things
I've seen and
encountered
while awake is
like nightmares.
Horrendous experiences
occur while awake.
Maybe life is
much better when
you sleep.

Did i ever
tell you that
someone is
searching for
everything you've
given to someone
who didn't
appreciate it.
Now i know
the lucky
one that would
have the fruit
must first
climb the tree.
Before i explain,
how much do
you know already.
If love is a
bowl of cherries,
what am i
doing in the pits,
and why am
i still alone.
Clueless is
this old man,
do i really
understand the
algorithms of love.
It baffles me
and i can't
comprehend it.
It's really
confounding,
very intriguing
and intricate,
too profound to
absorb and
assimilate.
What i feel is real,
but none seem
to understand me yet.

Without a good
game master plan,
you can't win
the game in
the world of
actuality and
competition.
Just as the lion
is the king
of the forest,
so is the
eagle the king
of birds.
If you live
with regrets
of yesterday.
You will have
no today to
be thankful for.
A vision without
execution is a
dream that can
die within.
May we all
bring our dreams
into reality.
Light is contained
and always hidden
within the darkness.
It takes a
little bit of
darkness to see
the glitter of
the stars.
Even in the
brightness of
the daylight,
the stars are
always there.
All true gems
are hidden within
the depths of
darkness.
It takes certain
light to make
it shine.
Never mind,
there is always
light in the tunnel.
Your gem
shines within.
