A C Leuavacant
And there you are again
With the same smile as months before
An undying crescent on your lips
But this time fractured by dark shadows and twisted words
A thorn on the stem of a rose I once held
preventing me from grabbing it with my outstretched arm
can you still feel the gutted petals?
I can.

And there you are again
Back in my line of vision
right at the corner of my wet eye
A weak ghost of what was such a strong memory
And Looking at you is still
like daggers.
This kind of captures how I feel at the moment in it's very simplest form.
Just needed to let it out a bit.

We toil and toil tilling
With our sweat ******* the soil
Yet merrily singing our song
From the ****’ s crow till the sun
goes home.

The harvest is non- the - less
Still in music and songs
Trekking like to the end- of - the -
world
Load - laden till our necks go sore.

With stock in ban to feed the
whole clan
By moonlight we woo to win more
hands
Till mandiang comes back a - round
Bringing us to the start of the
round
This note may help , if you may
want a deeper understanding of
this poem.
I hail from a minority tribe
(Berom) in Nigeria . the major
economic activity of my people use
to be subsistence agriculture. the
Berom people have a festival called
MANDIANG. Mandiang is held or
observed in April to mark or usher
in a new planting season . it was
believed that on this day the
ancestors or gods are lured to pour
down rain , to ensure a green
farming season and a good yield
after all.

"In relinquishing the limited, the unlimited becomes yours.”
To see the world, from a child's eyes
is to behold life, without disguise
awe and wonder, each moment a prize
the whole world is a puzzle, each piece a surprise

A tune is for singing, a bell for ringing
Stairs must be hopped, a balloon mustn't be popped
Stars can only twinkle, a toy must jingle
All things must be gazed at, then probably tasted

Just for a lark, she might mimic a dog's bark
like the crow caw, or like the *** guffaw
there is little her eyes, have not tried on for size
all is hers, till told sternly otherwise

A puddle is for jumping, and so is the bed
Candy is for stuffing, till her mouth turns red
A hop, a twirl and away we go
Walking is for fools, she is ever on her boat

So stop for a while, and sing with your child
shake a leg, do a jig, let go and unwind
For not very long, will your child dance along
if she thinks she is alone, in a world so monotone
Little girls are the most adorable.. why must they grow up? :)

When I had no choice,I chose life.....
When I had one choice,I chose breath....
When I had unremembered choice,I chose my parents.....
When I had two choices,I chose to walk,
but when I had myriad choices,I chose you......
choiceless gave me choices,
and now I realized I can unchoose the blessed choiceless life,
through my sheer reverence and seeking thither my eternal maternal muse...
the red girl turning blue
means she's falling for you
displays her love's basic
your charm has done the trick.

the blue girl turning red
means your chance is bleak
displays no love is bred
your sight makes her acidic.

the red girl remaining red
the blue girl remaining blue
in this worst case I'm afraid
she's neutrally looking at you.

Why do we seek to do and be what
others approve ?
When our hearts crave for what it
loves
Crave to be with the moon and
stars above ,
Or fly like a lovely untamed white
dove
And dance to the pure rhythm of
nature ' s groove .
Thus in this misplaced quest , what
we have we lose .

Slowly , now , we are crawling
In a quest for a place more homely.
Slowly , slowly still crawling
Towards that place we spent our
whole childhood dreaming .
A place filled with laughter from
fulfilled dreams.
Life just whispered in my ears
" Why do you bear this much fear ?
Cast your mind beyond now and
here
And you see what beauty life drips
here and there,
Beauty plenty enough for all to
have a share " .

Finally we have found a place,
That place with true solace
Where our laughters brilliance
Collides with the mid- day' s sun -
rays
Spilling happiness and brightening
our hitherto sad faces .
At last the moment is come
No more wear from an endless
roam
Smile and merry for now we are
home
In joy and songs , dance and drums
Express your hearts newly found
freedom .

The life
As I see
And as I understood
Mixed with imagination
Results in the form of words
Becomes a story
Rest? Unnecessary

Looking For Love

Love most have died centuries ago
She died with Juliet and Romeo
Now her bones lay dust infested
Romeo's to the left
Juliet's to the right.
Wishing they discussed,
Try to figure out how it all turned sour.

If love is dead,
Who or what are we then?
Excavators, that's who we are
Digging furiously, who cares how far
The grave of the duo love birds must be near
Find it, find love at its undiluted sphere.

Enveloped in this fantasies box
Love becomes no more than a hoax
Love is what it is
A beautiful broken bike if you please
Its too dangerous to ride
Yet no choice but the ride
So if you must, put on your safety gear.

Love does not live inside TVs
Nor magazines
She has left the internet and movies
She now lives in the simplicity of you and I.

You may have looked too hard
Yet you still can't find.
This you must figure out
You are looking in the wrong sites.
