RAVEN




The obstacles are unfeigned
Me thinking of my present life…
Now seems like a fictitious poem

The scriptures could not avow me
But destiny keeps me in the pace
I became the sprinter
The eclipse of the sun in the day
Could not make thou blind

Autumns burned me
And my premature white hairs
Like when deciduous trees lose their leaves

I was pounded on the rhythm of…
A yamless mortar with a pestle
High and low.

High and Low
Birds flew to the sky
I don’t know what they do
If they spy or they pry
But I know they could help me cry
Cry out my raven
Oh you lustrous black birds
I freed you from genus corvus
I’ve rolled a while sheet of English alphabets
Fly in a black jet of sparrow feathers
To my Papa and Mama
Tell them I’ve learnt the alphabets of life
Tell them I’ve been able to transcribe…
Transcribe their antecedent of unknown words
Tell them their echoes has inspired their child
Tell them I’m bringing home the baton of glory
Send them the raven.
Go north
Dwell east
Voyage is an apt, try west
Success is an apt, fare south and…
Don’t forget to space the world.

For, I Still Do

  For, I Still Do 'My world' was among one of the last things I enchanted my mouth & silence with, to you. I never knew it'll be my last. The trepidation of throwing off your scent Kept afloat on the river of our previous love Get drown, I mean d                                     r                                     o                                     w                                       n ,  & this love never sent me a drowning letter from the heart. Life can be down with one in the dumps, after love was lost in the creed of a bloody assassination, bathed in cold tears  and a peal of horrible laug...

MY SOLACE

TITLE : MY SOLACE  Happy Birthday to my solace  My makeup when I have a dull face  My sugar in the time of sour taste  Obviously we're from a different caste.  It will be so cruel  If I can't pen something for you here Because the day we met there  We became intimate with no fear.  Before today, you're just a friend  But now, you're a sister to the end I'll be your lawyer, if you have a case to defend Today is yours, and that's the new trend. With your stature, you're my infant  Trust you as my confidant  Sometimes I accept to be a fool When you tease me on who's more beautiful. She's my perfect place of comfort Consoling me in the time of distress thought  My cute girlfriend, adorable and short  Don't mind me, you're still my fort.  You've showed me love in many ways  Even when I change and sways How can I appreciate those days You cared for me in many ways.  My baby girl,...

The Temple I could not Worship

The Temple I could not Worship   Location: Cloud 9 Club House, off moon Road, Jupiter State.  Time: 9pm I walked into the dance hall  Which was my first time  Since I've travelled to a new planet.  And, here comes she...  ... dancing through my gaze 00:00 seconds, my focus changed  towards her set of loins. She has no face but beauty is all I see.  She wears a sexy smile  That could pull of my cloths at a glance. Oh, this is not my doom day And waiting to groom her on my wedding day  Is like a dream never come through.  And here she is,  Drinking from the thirsty ocean  of my assorted salty lips.   I thought it was a joke  When her hands moon walked  through my infantry hairy chest.  She halt at the center For me to catch some vibes. And as the music keep playing on, On and on and on and on...  The more I become lost and migh...
