A TWIST
Emeka Mokeme Jun 2019
I know how
you deeply feel
about yourself.
Not too sure
of what and
who you really are.
A twist of
the mind is
sometimes so
confusing that
you won't believe
it yourself.
How do you
know that
you are who
you said you were.
Someone else
somewhere else
told someone
who he thinks
you are.
A person is
only a person
because another person
told them they were.
Supposing you are
more than what
they conjured up
that you were.
Have you ever
thought that you
are very deeply
different from anything
that they say
you were.
With an uncanny
feeling gnawing secretly
deep within your
subconscious mind
that you are
something more than
just a human.
Yes you are
right on that one.
You are an alien,
a space and earth man
wrapped up in one.
Yeah I know
what you are thinking.
Argue with yourself
until you leave
the earth suddenly
to your homeland.
See you at
the other side.

RUBICON BRIDGE
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2018
Be careful of what
you enjoy,
also be careful of that
which you seek,
or you may find hell,
because sometimes
the good kills.

In some things
that are good,
there is some
sort of evil.
In some things
that are evil,
there are some
sort of goodness.

Good and evil
working side
by side and in
synergy bring
to us a desired end
and to a place of
destiny to manifest
as either good or bad.

Sometimes you just
have to be brave and
take the risk to cross
the rubicon bridge.
You can't be brave if
you don't have courage.
And so it is in all things
and in everything that we do.

OUR PERPETUAL RITUAL
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2019
Life is a circle,
we keep bumping
into the very
same things,
like a merry
go round.
We chase,
rather than attract
what belong
to us.
They confront us
standing like a
magic mirror to
show the past,
the present
and perhaps
a way forward.
Are we the
one searching for
answers or
maybe they are
searching for us.
Truth is that
we keep repeating
ourselves in
the same process,
as if it's
our spiritual and
perpetual ritual.
Never fully
finding the truth
and answers to
our dreams,
until our soul
in weariness retires
in eternity and
merge with the
light when the
great spirit beckons.
And the universe
enfolds and gladly
embrace us within
its glorious light.

A HARD PLACE
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
In this water way,
the running man
encountered the
killing season saga.
A very bad and
disturbing difficult
sequel for him.
The Boss baby
created the space
between us.
There is a
ghost in the
shell inside the
castle on the rock.
This rock is
a hard place
to live or find peace,
it's for better or worse.
Traditional war brings
flashes of pain
from the power
they seek
by all means.
Black lightning
in the sky
signified danger
and is very scary,
they must pull
out of the game now
or face the calamity
with serious
consequences.
The three smart fools
were blinded by
their ignorance with
so much complicated
and dangerous ideas
in their forbidden den
inside the castle.
Web of lies coming
out of their mouths,
engulfed them with
corruption and confusion.
Betrayed by their
follies it became a
burden for them.
But they still defiantly
insist with their
own mistakes
and confusion.

THE MANIPULATOR
Emeka Mokeme Apr 2018
You want to keep me
by your side to be
used like a ***** rag.
Is that all I'm worth,
I am more.
You couldn't love me,
yet you desire me,
but your heart belongs
to another one.
Any time I leave,
you cry as if you
lost your heart,
just to lure me back,
but you never tried
to change your
manipulative ways.
Your tears meant nothing
to me now,
No,not anymore.
My heart is dead to your tears.
You are nothing to me now.
Can't go back to the place
where my heart ran from.
No one is allowed to clean
their ***** feet on my back.
I moved on now with my dignity,
for that's all I have,
my dignity.

TODAY IS BEAUTIFUL
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
Today is so awesome and sublime,
Because you are in it,
because the sun shines,
Because the flowers bloom,
Because the birds are
singing their new song,
Because the butterflies
visits my garden,
Because the rain falls,
Because beautiful flowers grows
at the sides of the Brooke
which meanders
and finding its way around the
rock under the trees
in the mangrove forests.
Because everyone is smiling,
Because I heard the children laughing,
Because all things are beautiful,
Because of your love
the broken hearted
and the sick ones are healed,
And the ones who are bound are set free,
The needy and hungry are helped.
Because everything is working
out the way they should,
The good and not so good.
For all these my heart is grateful.

I know your pain,

made for you.
Arise now today

calamities of multiple
ugly situations to
quench the storms
corroding your life.
Rejoice now,
son of the
most high
for good things
are spoken of you.

THE CLOUD DANCED.
Emeka Mokeme May 2018
The wind whispers a new song
to usher in this new moment.
And even the moon sang,
joining the humming birds at dawn.
The stars danced to the musical
tune of the wind in the moonlight
amidst the open space of
the galaxy in the twilight.
The cloud danced for there is
love in the air.
The lilac trees shed it's flowers
by reason of the wind,
blown out far into the night,
spreading it's perfume around freely,
it's fragrance can be smelled miles away.
The wind singing a happy song
as it carries out the message
of love to refresh different homes
as lovers sit outside their garden at night watching the magic show of the almighty scattered through out the firmament.
Oh what a blessing to behold the beauty of creation at such a memorable moment.
Eyes can even catch a glimpse of angels calmly going about their sacred duties unperturbed at that sublime moment in the quietness of the night.
It is really a blessing to
behold that glorious moment.
Join me tonight to listen
to the beautiful songs of the stars.
Your heart will be so glad it did.

LOCKED FOREVER IN BLISS
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2018
Locked Together
for life is a blessing.
Two hearts meets,
locked up together
forever in bliss,
Interwoven and blended,
woven in beauty.
In synergy embraced,  
locked together in love.
For love calls from the heart
with joyful tenderness,
holds two beautiful souls
to celebrate the
awesomeness of the divine.
Locked up forever by
the sublime force of will.
Two hearts meet in love,
not minding if they will
reach the shore or not.
Bind together to drink the
sacred wine from the garden.
This love in this life is
so pure and beautiful.
We danced for the sake
of the spirit beating
the drums within our hearts.
Grateful for your love.

ALPHA LONE WOLF
Emeka Mokeme Feb 2019
I am the hunter,
the alpha lone wolf
roaring on a
full moon night.
Not minding the
stillness and silence
of the huge
forest and
deep danger lurking
in the darkness
but ready to hunt
the nights prey,
sniffed out your
hiding places.
Sounds of warning
i give out
before the chase.
Heed the warning,
run and live
or die in
your stubbornness.
I am the
alpha lone wolf,
captain of the park
of parks.
Not afraid
of the dark
for i blend
well with the
darkness under
the full moon.
Roaring to send
chills to all
who may hear.
My voice heard
from miles away,
drives the enemy
into hiding,
cowering in their
coven in fear
and confusion.
I am still coming,
to get you.
I am the
alpha lone wolf.

EXIST TOGETHER
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
In the universe;
there are thousands of flowers
that blossom,
each with it's own Beauty,
yet no one is answerable to the other,
in synergy they work together,
giving out their beautiful fragrance.
Some are mild,
some sharp and pungent.
Others don't have any,
yet they exist together,
finding a common ground.
They pour out their fragrance,
give out their beauty,
to soothe and comfort the human spirit,
demanding nothing,
giving out freely,
an immense helper,
glad to do their work,
ready to share their life,heal or die,
never tired or complain,
breathing out what we take in,
and ever so humble,
they lay at our feet,
always at service to our needs.
Beauty is beauty.
With gladness and joyful tenderness
accept the beauty that is yours,
for it is only yours and no one else.

DEEP TROUBLE
Emeka Mokeme Aug 2018
You see all these people
creating a hullabaloo to
discredit others will end up
in a deep trouble.
You can always see how dark
and degrading their lives are
by looking at the things they do.
They have followed the path
of their destiny.
There will not be any help
to rescue them.
The atrocities of their crimes
are so heavy that even the
holocaust and hades will
be too light to compare to
what will happen to them.
To destabilize a united people
through ethnic conflicts and
inciting the young and the youths
to be violent is not so good.
They called it ethnic cleansing.
Erasing of what the Almighty
in his infinite mercy puts in place
has a grave consequences.
Man in his thinking thought he is
so ready to confront the rebound
of his follies and ignorance.
Their actions will eventually
touch everything and everyone.
There's no escape for the evil one,
retribution awaits such a one
for their actions attracts the reaction
and consequences of their deeds.
They must be careful of what
they seek or they will find hell.
Tolerance must come into play
for peace to be achieved.

Easy to please,
not really,
hard nut to crack,
I think so.
You cannot please
anyone ever,
even yourself.
Only your best
you can do.
To be perfect is a form
of mental illness,
it drives one crazy,
even those seeking it
and the ones you want
to please can testify.
Perfection is an ideal
we all will want to attain,
but to merely assume
perfection is to cease ones
advancement towards it.
Error as an opposite pole to
perfection has perhaps a value,
it may cause you the need for
further future personal
development.
Such an error has cost me a tear.
It has taught me such
a great lesson.
A lesson very regrettable.
Simplicity is the only way out
of that error.
Easy does it.
Not all who wanders are lost.
You can command nature
only by obeying her.
It yields to the one with
an ear to the ground,
and leads such a one to
the higher ground.
Everything seems clearer
and easier.
Besides can you really be perfect
and without errors?
That's the beauty and essence
of our make up.
So before you judge me,
make sure you are perfect,
or that perfection you seldom
possess will exclude you,
because you are not perfect.

TRUE MEANING
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
Give yourself
a meaning because
you are the
meaning of true
meaning.
If only your
eyes saw souls
instead of bodies,
you will understand
the mystery of creation.
You will be amazed
how different your
ideals of beauty
would be,
because you will
see the incredible
impressive impact and
loveliness of inner
radiance of true beauty.
Even if for
a moment you
feel and quietly
listen to your
heart beat,
you would have
truly seen humanity.
Take your time
to look deeply
into the eyes of
one close to you,
reflected there is
the same anxiety
of that of every person.
Don't forget to
see the smile
of each individual,
it tells the
true story of
love and loneliness.
Invading your
neighbors vineyard
by force is
a terrible sign
of serious damage,
an incurable
stomachache and
a regrettable source
of eternal loss.

THE ONE WHO SPEAKS WITHIN
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
I am a Mystic with
a high sense of mission.
I am a Prophet
I am the Chosen one
I see far
I see near
My Prophetic utterances
are there to speak for itself
My inspiration, insights
and admonitions are
proofs of my calling.
l am not interested in
your mundane opinions,
for the one who
speaks within is greater.
Authority belongs to him,
he reigns in majesty,
Everything you ever
have belonged to Him.
He is the creator.
Now you can see where I stand.
Upon this mountain I stand,
Upon this mount of God I stand,
from this mountain I speak that
which cannot be uttered by mere mortals.
Now be still and listen for He speaks.

I AM THAT
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2019
I am that
of which you
cannot fathom.

Deeper than what
you have ever seen.

You don't know
who i am.

I am a part
of that of
which you are.

I am more
than that which
i was before now.

And even more
than that which
i am now.

You have no
idea of what
I've become.

I am larger
than that of
whatever you
think I am.

I am of nature,
the water and
the wind.

I am the moon
and the stars,
untouched and far  
away from man.

The stars are
my many eyes
of which i see you.

With the moon,
i still see you
even in your darkness,
as I see you
with the brightness
of the sun.  

I am the sun,
the bringer and
giver of life.

I am the
life in your breathe,
pulsating inside you.

I am the thoughts
in your mind
seeking expression
through your mouth.

I am the eyes
of your soul
that sees what
the spirit reveals.

I am the
unspeakable words,
the unutterable
from the spirit.

I am the
invisible one,
i didn't choose this,
this chose me.

I am in the wind,
with the strength
that part and
breaks the sea.

I am the path
of life that
leads to the
great beyond.
Threaded only by
the brave.

I am,
that,
i am,

NO OFFENSE
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2019
If my words
resonates with you,
take it,
but if not,
please just pass,
no offense.
We may not
stand at same
platform of
understanding.
It definitely
appears apparently
like a sore thumb,
we are not
seeing eye to eye
because maybe,
you are taller.
As the lion killed
the lamb for
a meal doesn't mean
it dislikes the lamb.
It's actually a
liking for a
choice meal
in proper response
to natural order.
Your dislikes are
in line with
where you are at,
in consciousness.
Some day you'll
evolve to maturity.
No offense.
With enlightenment
you unfold slowly like
the rose flower.
It shall be
the morning of
your life.
Like the sun
at dawn,
you shall radiate
with grace,
assured of your stance,
with no offense.

TO THE MOUNTAINTOP
Emeka Mokeme Jan 2018
Don't raise me up
to make me what I'm not,
I can not stand it.
Bring me down to my level
so they won't see my nakedness.
I am on a different League,
called for this lonely path
you will never understand it
A path trodden only by the very few
I choose to follow.
Only the chosen follow it.
The wise follow it,
though it be lonely.
The weak and weary
cannot walk that path.
It is meant for only the courageous.
The ancient sages walked it
Our ancestors walked it.
There is a divine price tag
for anyone who wants
to follow the path.
Don't ask me to follow
your dreams for me,
it is only a dream.
Or follow your direction
to the unknown path,
you seldom knows the way.
I choose a different pathway,
For I hear a different
drummer from within,
Calling out to me.
I go the way of the ancients,
i will honor the call
and follow the inner path
for the strong pull of the
almighty draws me forth.
Yes,this path leads to the mountain top.

As I sat there to dine,

To peel lots of lime,
I left them and run,
'Cause it started to rain.

As I counted my dime,
I looked at the time.
I went after the rain,
To pick up my lime,
And went back to dine.

NOTHING IS NEW
Emeka Mokeme May 2019
No city can
ever be new,
as long as
it's populated by
either animals or
persons.
Keep a city old,
with all the
artifacts and relics
of their beliefs,
love a person
so tenderly,
everyone and
everything is old.
As soon as
you get
something new,
no matter how
beautiful and priceless,
treasured and valued,
expensive or cheap
or meet someone,
even a new
born baby,
they all become
as old as
you touch it,
whatever your eyes
see is old.
The heart and
eyes of man
continues to seek
out new things
and people and
places to conquer.
Never satisfied with
its possessions.
Ever seeking and
ever wanting.
There's nothing ever
that is not old,
nothing at all.
But given is
every new day,
that has dawn
and emerged from
the dark to
be your morning.

AND AT LAST
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2019
There is still
hope for the
heart that trembles
because of helplessness.

There is no
amount of darkness
experienced that light
cannot defeat.

No matter how dark
the night becomes,
a flicker of light
sends it away.

There is no
crooked place
however deep that
water cannot penetrate.

Every tempest
however dreadful is
just for a moment.

There comes
a time in
our lives that
even the heart
gets tired in
fighting the enemy.

There is nothing
in this world
worthy of do
or die affair.

Every accomplishment
wears out and
the heart seeks
for another.

All the things
you hold dear
or think that matters
is just a figment
of your own imagination,
they all fizzle
out in time.

And at last,
you will find out
that the most
important thing
in your life
is relationships.

Those relationship you
never wanted
will be the same
corner stone of
your story that
makes up the
textures of your life.

JUST BELIEVE
Emeka Mokeme Jun 2018
I don't know about you,
but the architect and designer,
the molder of my earthly tabernacle,
he that vitalise and quickens me,
the God of my heart,
the breathe within my breathe,
dwells and lives inside of me.
He made his abode
and resident in me.
There he reaches out to you through
my tabernacle as his oracle.
My soul magnifies him.
Where is your God residing?
Is he in your heart or
in your church building?
Does he live in the cathedral
of your soul or just walking around
in the garden outside?
Do you manifest him or manipulate him?
How has your life show his existence
and supremacy?
Do you look for him in the mundane things outside the glorious treasures hidden within the heart?
He is not in the material objects
or is he in the midst of all that is acquired.
Search within the hidden mansions
of your heart.
Listen to that inner still small voice within.
Remember there is always light at both ends of the tunnel.
Don't forget to get him involved at your cross roads.
He is an ever present help.
Seek for him as he is also seeking for you.
Oh I know,
you don't believe in the God
of the heaven and of the earth.
If you don't believe in him,
the God of all creation,
then where do you belong?
He who makes the whole earth
and the galaxy with the world to come,
to be and to pass away will restore you back,
if only you could just believe.
His mysteries will be revealed to you
and the miraculous will find you.

YOUR RISING
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
With the arrows
of betrayal
piercing my back,
i still care about you.
With my brokenness,
my heart still
desires your presence.
With the stomachaches
and intense body pains,
i struggled and
wriggled through
the mountains and
across the sea
to get to you.
With what seems
like an impossible fit,
i surmounted the
challenges with
painstaking effort
and harrowing fatigue
just to bring relief
to ease your pain.
Love is the
strength that pushed
and propelled me.
Without it,
my frail and
tired body will
collapsed.
Love is the
unexpected east wind
that blows through
the cracks from
the unknown of
your darkness to
bring you into
the glorious place of rest,
to make even
your enemies be
at peace with you.
It is the
reason of your rising.
It unlocks and
unleashes favour to
override stagnation.
Unblocks unnecessary
circumstances to
give way and
strike out
your brokenness.
It draws the
attention of  
destiny helpers and
divine enablement to
bear on your situation
and circumstances.
It brings fruition
to your struggles

FINAL CHAPTER.
Emeka Mokeme May 2018
She came out of nowhere
into my life through the one
close to me for blood speak,
wanting the best for me.
Now I'm stuck to her heart,
glued to her love just like that.
Wondering where was
she all along.
But she came at the right time
to rescue the broken and fallen me.
Restore the lost hope
of my fragile heart.
Mend the brokenness
of my empty world.
Now I'm alive again.
Everything seems anew.
Deep calling the deep.
Can you hear the butterfly?
Could even hear the
grasshopper chirping.
The laughter of children
at the backyard,
so beautiful.
Seems as if I just woken up
after along slumber to face
the broken world afresh.
My heart is so grateful
for a time such as this.
Like a finger pointing to the moon,
you don't keep looking at the finger,
Or you will miss all
the heavenly glory.
This is the final chapter.

A LOVE SO PURE
Emeka Mokeme Dec 2018
Loving and caring,
living in love,
sharing with others
just a little
piece of you
in love.
That's all
there is in
this life.
Giving out
a love so pure
with joyful tenderness.
Everything you
give is yours,
it comes back
again in the
roundabout.
I want to
take off the
stars in the
sky for you,
for the gift
of your heart
means a lot to me.
Nothing ever
is more important
than your
relationship with
the people you
claim to love.
Everything in
life relates to
one another in
a beautiful way.
Even the ugly
side of your
relationship proofs
out our lives
and inability to
relate to each other.
Be a part
in raising the
vibration of love
in the world.

THE CORRUPT
Emeka Mokeme May 2018
The life of power is so
funny that man becomes so
engrossed with such impunity
to pursue a purposeless life
full of vanity and violence
to keep their sinking ship afloat
to sail in their stormy waters
full of monsters.
Wake up now and save yourselves
from this tsunami that's going to
wipe you away from that delirious
dream of yours.
As oppressors are so blinded by greed,
even so are the ones seeking power.
Intimidation becomes their best
weapon to oppress the weak.
Their eyes blinded to the
tears of the hungry,
ears closed to the cries of the afflicted,
no mercy for the sick ones,
their hearts hardened for there's
no pity in them.
They abhorred to be corrected,
advice given are not taken
for they cannot be counselled.
Corrupted by greed,
they dip their hands deep into
the public funds kept in their custody.
The funds meant for National use
disappeared on their watch.
Yet they claimed to be innocent
of their heinous crimes,
pretending to be honest they
rob the state treasury.
Looters are they amongst themselves,
a disgrace to the service entrusted to them,
exposing their ignorance to the gullible.
Shame on you.

THE GOLDEN FISH
Emeka Mokeme Aug 2018
You are one of a kind.
Colorful and different,
blended with brightness.
So beautifully crafted,
exotic and graceful,
an endangered species.
They say you are golden,
the name they call you,
befitting truly.
Found only in a particular
special swampy waters.
Adorable little creatures,
not fit for consumption,
made to adorn and grace
the waters to feed
our eyes.
Lovely to behold,
you have no hiding place.
So free in your habitat,
just being you.
Humans gather to see
and watch you swim
around your home.
Without fear you display your
beauty and essence.
Your courage is admirable.
You are truly the little golden fish
someone tossed on my path
and I am the luckiest man to have
found you.

INTRICATELY PROFOUND

A LOST SOUL
Emeka Mokeme Feb 2019
A glimpse into
a lost soul
is unimaginably
a painful one
like a sore thumb.
Lost in a
twilight of an
oblivious zone
is this child
of love who
has lost the
will to live
and the way
back home.
Living in a
dual complex world.
Lost within a
self built wall
as if in a
self made iron
clad fence.
A prisoner in
shock and shambles,
living in *******.  
Gazing into the
air with a
glossy eye.
No one knows
what he's trying
to say or do
but in his
silence the eyes
speaks volumes.
How can he
be reached within
his solitude of
frightening calmness.
Even when you try,
as all you
get is silence.
His owl cry
cut through the
silence of his
wilderness as if
disturbed by
unsolicited intrusion.
While all he
needed is tender
loving care.

DON,T YOU SLUMBER
Emeka Mokeme Apr 2020
Don't be distracted
Open your eyes
so you can see
the deception of magic
unfold before your eyes
Stay wake now
do not slumber
Stay home and
be alert
Through your window
peep in the dark
to watch this movie
It is about you
About your very life
Five big G
dancing in the air
on your streets.
Disguised as a
mechanic working even
in the rain.
No a technician,
planting his technology
in your frontyard,
no your backyard
unsolicited.
With impunity
they worked tirelessly.
No consent seemed,
that's how cruel
they are.
Robots are better,
they say.
Delibratly introducing
something new.
Artificial intelligence,
the next level.
Covid-19 vaccine,
to help you heal.
But microchip inserted,
unwittingly to monitor
your every move.
Digital certificate,
you must produce,
or no buying and
no selling allowed.
Don't think you
are safe.
To sleep with
a wild lion
or a cobra
is better than
a deluded and
demonic sick lunatic.
Stay awake and
stay home,
be safe but
don't be distracted.
Enjoy the movie.

BELOVED
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
I saw her for the first time,
as she steps out,
My heart skipped a bit
Like the very first
time I heard her voice.
There is something so familiar
about our meeting,
about her presence.
As if we have done that before-
a déjà vu.
She smiled and came up to
meet me and my heart raced.
She is truly beautiful,
heavens gift with
an alluring beauty so striking,
Passionately exquisite,
stolen as it were from an Angel.
Everything about her is beautiful.
She is splendour of her kind,
A gift of heaven to me.
My heart calls you to come forward
and surrender,
this love is my
garland of flowers for you.
Now come beloved,
With grandeur,
make my heart your dwelling place.

IT IS WHAT IT IS
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
Just in
Just out
Just wait
Just like
Just mine
Just make
Just saying
Just show
Just me
Just be
Just like
Just let
Just cry
Just crazy
Just look
Just love
Just yesterday
Just yet
Just safe
Just fly
Just visiting
Just vote
Just laugh
Just smile for the sake of
this glorious moment.
The treasure is found
amongst the dirt.
Woven around the diamond,
hidden within the mud.
The firmament and the clouds,
the sun and the moon,
the galaxy and the stars,
they witnessed the moment
as it unfolds to reveal the secrets
of the twilight.
Redeemed and justified,
glorified and ready,
accepted and beautified,
gracefully graceful,
cleansed and set to shine.
Exulted and transformed.
Prepared to rule and reign.
That is what and who you are.
You are still saying just that
same old same old thing.
It is what it is.

ANNOUNCE ME
Emeka Mokeme Apr 2019
I want you
to love me loudly,
but no,
am not insecure
if you really
want to know.
Show yourself,
let me see
your heart.
Announce me
to the world.
But i learned
not to force anything,
conversations,
friendships,
relationships
attention,
and love.
Anything forced is
not just worth
fighting for,
whatever flows flows,
whatever crashes crashes.
It is what it is.
If you have
to leave anytime,
that is your choice
but letting you
walk away,
that will be
my choice.

HAUNTED BY THE PAST
Emeka Mokeme Jan 2018
Today i feel like an outcast,
that's how you made me feel.
I bare my heart out to you,
but you treated me without respect,
wounding my very fragile soul.
I can't raise my head to look at you.
For the shame i feel
engulfed and consume me.
You rejected my love
because of my past.
Broken into pieces
i bend to pick up what's left.
Am i a damaged good
that has no value?
Am i not worthy to be by your side?
I am now haunted by my past.
We are both guilty
of same accusations.
The difference is that i beared fruit
and you didn't.
You were aloof and a wanderer.
Though not all wanderers are lost.
You built a self-made
prison wall around yourself.
As if you are untouchable.
You fear what you want,
at same time want what you fear.
Who now shall deliver us from this pain.
We need each other to survive.
Come forward and surrender.
I want to conquer you.

UNPERTURBED
Emeka Mokeme Aug 2019
I gazed at
the world with
a serene mind.
Just watched as
if i don't belong here.
But i let all
its worries wash
over me like
the unperturbed rock
by the side
of the river bank.
There all the
seagulls and penguin
comes to rest
and to find solace.
Amazing as the
whole world goes by
with or without you.
The world remembers
nothing of your
presence as you
passed on if
you never leave
your contributions behind.
They talk about
this man and
that man who
was born there.

YOUR VOICE COUNTS
Emeka Mokeme Mar 2019
There is power
in an individual voice,
echoing in the
darkness about the
oppressed and of
those in chains.
The power of
the individual voice
can break the
icebox even of
the hardened heart
to the call
of the forgotten
and lonely ones
caged in the dungeon.
It only takes
one voice to
create change
by lending your
voice one to
the other.
Be moved and
be aspired to
be inspired and
take action now.
The brave and
passionate steps will
revert anything not
worthy of ameliorating
and glorifying mankind.
It is necessary
to bring man out
of the dark
in which he
unwittingly
find himself and
is in bonds.
However small your
steps are,
it definitely can
cause ripples to
defeat and bring
unexpected grandeur
to free the oppressed.
Your voice counts
as each one
reaches one another
in a chain reaction
to bring justice.
A call for
change is needful
and urgently needed.
Wake up now
to the life
around you.
Take an intentional
walk and experience
your community in
a whole new way.
Your voice counts.

THE OIL OF LOVE
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
Would you please run
your fingers through
the heart to feel the soul,
then gently pour your love
into the crack you found,
to seal it with your love,
so the brokenness will heal,
that would have been enough.
Massage and nurture the hurts
with the oil of love.
With your breathe exhale with
so much love into it to give
strength and hope to live.
Awaken the heart not to faint,
for you are the one to seek in
this bizarre world.
There is so much mess in the world,
our unstable ways makes the
heart to flutter in confusion.
Look beyond this frail body,
to see the soul hidden within this
cocoon trying to transmogrify
into an exulted being.
Your love will cream and sooth this wrinkled face back to youthfulness,
to be young at heart is beautiful.
This life is already done,
for the beyond calls out to you.
Let this love take you home so
you can find peace.
You are the oil of love that heals
and loosen the hardness of
this heart in pain.
Everything will be alright with you around.

PEBBLE INTO THE STILL WATER
Emeka Mokeme Dec 2018
Out of habit
she stirred the
hornets nest and
as a habitual offender
he keeps throwing
pebbles into the
still waters of
the quiet pool
causing it to
twirl and turn
unnecessarily.
The ripple spreads
encouraging strives
and struggles,
with tumultuous little
waves causing
commotions and
disharmony.
Even the mind
cannot be stilled
or know peace
amidst constant
irritable pesky little
constant harassment.
Like the acid,
it erodes the
mind of peace
and serenity,
weakened the heart
and eludes and
robs it of harmonium.
As White as jade
as pure as ice,
no one jokes
with his inner peace.
Like the droppings
of a sick animal
infects and cause
dis-ease in the
environment,
even so is
the constant pollution
of the mind
effects the spirit.

THE DIGNIFIED ONE
Emeka Mokeme Aug 2018
Once again I returned
from my inner wandering
to discover that chaos is
everywhere hidden like
the assassins amongst the
people in different communities.
Like the acid corroding the
system and eating up the
textures of our lives.
People in different communities
are really mentally poisoned by
the pressures of life,
and peace have eluded them.
This peace can never exist
side by side with
chaos environment.
Kindness and compassion
must be put in place.
Joy eludes anyone who has
not sowed any seed of
compassion from the heart
to combat the fury
of the mind.
The inner garden we were
entrusted to protect
is messed up
even though it is
full of kindness.
Dancing vigorously figuratively
on the serpents
head to **** the
appetite of wickedness,
man becomes
engrossed in the battle
to safe himself and
his earthly home,
lest he becomes homeless
and a wanderer.
The heart filled with shame
and pain can no longer
bear the burden
of all the unnecessary deaths.
Only the dignified ones
can now take on that task
and save the people
from the calamity
spreading amongst
the communities.

You are just a little

the evidence is seen in all
the elements in you.
You are the small world
of the larger world.
In you are the beginning
of a life of power,
full of vigour,
beauty and grace.
This world inside you is
intricate and intriguing.
You manifest the glory
of the highest,
for the beauty of man is
hidden within the spirit.
The breath of life exacts
its force in our lives.
Power of the infinite is at work
and marvelously manifesting
itself with a subtle expression
of the divine light
within our consciousness.
Manifesting the glory of the
highest must be a part of ourselves.
You can only command nature
by obeying her.

As true as the sunshine,

the trees of the forest joined to
sing of your glory Yehoshua.
Heaven and earth tremble
to your voice.
Nothing can stand to challenge
you for you are a man of war.
Absolutely nothing is impossible
for you.
You change the hidden course
of fate and set the captives free.
You show yourself in the things
not understood by mere men.
You do mighty things
and set every complex
and complicated things straight.
Even the wise are confused at your simplicity.
With grateful heart we celebrate you.

once in a while
with the stars
shinning and twinkling,

the largest of

to make it

Something is so
special about tonight.
This moon
large and full,
so bright and so
near the earth
as if you
could touch it.
It is magical
and so beautiful.
Intense and powerful,
alludes to giving
up anything that
no longer serve
us anymore.
Bringing in the new
and discarding the old.
A new dawn of
a new beginning
just emerged
like a covering.
The lovers night,
where two hearts
merged and reunite.
Heaven and earth
touched and blended
subtly by the
powers of the
universe.
This magical
new moon affects
everything within
and beyond our
sphere and adorned
our space with
a new life.
Offering new tidings
for new things

how much all

I can't explain it
or how much pain,
loneliness and confusion

It made me mute.
I can't tell it,
even if I could.
It seems to paralyze me,
made me weary.
My mouth cannot tell it,
for my heart hurts.
It can't be explained,
I would if I could.
I can only keep quiet,
hoping it will pass away.
I am amazed and perplexed
at the impact of that force
on my own spirit.
In my imperfections,
truth manifested.
In weakness,
his strength,
again,
made perfect.
Within my silence,
I found wisdom.
In my *******,
i discovered freedom.
It is a lesson learned in life.

Tune into that sphere to activate

The banner of peace
has been raised,
the drum of war has now changed
to become the band of joy.
The sword of war is put aside
and now is definitely defeated.

CRAZY FOR ME
Emeka Mokeme Aug 2018
Pining for the one
who can never love you
hurts the heart.
Why will you be pining
away over the one
who never cares for you
and playing hard to get,
while another is there
dying to prove her love
to be with you.
I must be a fool
with the eyes open
but actually really blind.
How can I be looking for
perfection in an imperfect one.
There is nothing like I will
love you forever.
Truth is there is no forever.
Everything is just now,
take it and run with it.
I know you are annoyingly crazy
but I love you anyway.
Your heart is beautiful
and that is enough for me.
Happiness has already found us.
Let's just take it and make it happen.
The morning is here
to bring good news,
that desired pleasure and
comfort that yesterday could not give.
Beautiful is the beginning of
something uniquely magnificent.
