Never been so fascinated.. by a sight anew
A symmetry between dirty and pristine
Calling out loud, beautiful and true
A bond made strong of schemes and screams
Mystery about everything.. magical hues
A BEAST AND HIS QUEEN
Under the dawn and moments a few...
Lies a future unseen

Faded
Fallen trees and faded leaves
Tis what my heart feels right now
Thunder clouds and gloomy skies
Tis what my heart feels right now
Withered smiles and empty laughter
Tis what my heart feels right now
Captured moments and love letters
Tis what my heart needs right now
Spoken messages and angered thoughts
Tis what your heart feels right now
Hammered nails and chiseled wood
Tis what your heart feels right now
Escaped breath and heaving chest
Tis what your heart feels right now
Tender kiss and endless embrace
Tis what your heart needs right now
Forgiven mistakes and healing words
Tis what our hearts need right now
Remediedmadness and mosaic moments
Tis what our hearts need right now
Summer sweat and lovers lust embrace
Tis what our hearts need right now
Love ME Don’t Leave ME..
This is what my heart feels right now!

Before I pen that poem for the night
Silence is nearer to peace... I believe?
Like a stubborn weed that won't die ; chaos
Keeps growing back for roots run deep
Embedded in my head, a dead note, a wish
I wanna feel like that maiden on her way
Away from the tears and the fight
Silence is nearer to peace and quiet as she is
I pen my poem for the night

Whilst building our broken bridges
Old wounds whistle, don't look back
Walk on, following the fragrance of love
Everything else all black
In autumn's breeze,
We'll start anew
Let not our love fade like fallen leaves
Now it's only me and you
A dark sky lurks,
Tapestry of blacks and blue
Under the liquid dawn,
My hands yearn to hold you
Time and distance
Stand not alone as foes
Your anger and fleeting desires
Stand beside them
Like broken prisms
Reflecting light of each other
Bathing in each other's
Flaws and sins
Before you kiss me
Touch me softly
Halos and horns - both will set us free
The galaxy weaves our palmistry

In another lifetime...
In a place
Between heaven and earth
Our souls fell in love
Before our bodies were created
In a place
Where stars shine
And day and nights alternate
We were sent into this world
Birth and rebirth
Life made us forget
But our souls recognized each other
Before our lips met
For this was not our first meeting
My eyes believe in only what they see
But the aching in my heart before
Was my soul remembering
The years we have endured
Without each other

Tints & Shades
Cold yet beautiful
She's like snow
Open but coded
A book is he
Eager to read him ,she buries herself deep
Eager to touch her, his passion seeps
Through her bones onto her skin
She learning to unravel him from within
Grief seems to dissappear slowly like mist
Ideas that's lingered are becoming vivid
Tainted hearts complimenting souls divine
Darkness and light equally combine
Walked long enough alone
To recognize a stepping stone
That's leading home
The stars and moon have shone

Learning to Float:
I crash like a wave on the shore of an empty beach. The force of the tide both pushes me away and pulls me back in, leaving no real way of knowing where I will end up. This does not frighten me anymore. I have learned to go with it, and to trust that it knows what I need as well as where I need to be. Learning to float was the best thing I have ever done.

Laity and the Law
Woman: I spit my worries
Yeah i do... I do it ever time
I set out the streets wailing
How come no body see my cry
Where is the law
The last of hope of a common man
The stronghold of the oppressed
Now suppressed, inflenced even
What a shame, The law is now insane
Lawyer: Hark there, woman
I rep the law
Speak no more blasphemy of it's name
And indeed tell me thy pain
Woman: To what effect then will it be
Que sera sera
What will be will be
Obviously its too late
Just leave me to my fate
There's nothing you can do for me
You... Liar!
Lawyer: lawyer!, Lay your complaint
Confide in me
understand my intentions are clear
And Let go of your fears
Woman: well all I hear is jargons and Maxim's
Crammed from textbooks with flair
Construed to make a layman tremble and fear
So dont you dare talk about Fear,... Liar
Lawyer: lawyer!
Woman; I can tell you are just after my money
And its funny
Cause you still make it look like
All you do is help us
When all you do is extort us
With your pockets robust
Our problems are what make you famous
Lawyer: Hark, listen woman
I perceive grieve gruesome enough
Pain, rage, almost explosive
But hear my promise
You will get what is yours
Lay your issues
Woman: I seek for what's mine
Rights to my possession defined
Or is being a woman the crime
Then whats with you lawyers and that lady
Who although blindfolded looks so fine
Lawyer: lady justitia?... You mean
Woman: Didn't you notice her posture
Her scale has become slightly saggy
Whilst her sword, to some punishing swiftly
Lawyer: Pardon!.... She represents the law
Blind to all and sundry
Woman: No no, haven't you noticed?
Recently she smiles
Unbelievably peeps through her folds
Maybe a mistake of those who mould
Lawyer: What do you speak of Woman?
The law is not as partial as man
Justice fights all cause,
And does not provide for any loss
Woman: Alright then hear thee my plight
I bought a landed property
Of which its tittle is now in jeopardy
Because by virtue of marriage
I allowed a house to be built on it
An idea that at first seemed lit
Not until the hit
My own Casanova
Long gone, now buried underneath
Seemingly resting in his grave
whilst what should be mine taken with rave
The last time I passed by
On the land stood a new structure
His brothers flowers in place of my crops
Oh damn the law, our culture also
The village kings no more grey headed
And now the local law now lacking a virtuoso
Lawyer: Then now you need my help?
Woman:. No! I had sung my problems
So we could dance
And not for you to moot
But that your girl child may not follow suit
Lawyer:. First we will file a suit.
Woman:. I need no suit
Never liked my husband wearing one
All i want now is to see the morn
That the pain of dusk does not take me from dawn
"Onye nwe ala nwe ihe di na ime ya"
The owner of a land owns whatsoever is in it therof
It was an adage i knew as i grew up
Guess the law changed,maybe it evolved
Restricing the application of the latin maxim
Both: "Quic quid plantatur solo solo cedit"
Lawyer: A latin maxim without any restrictions
And its application without sedition
It acts to restore a lost possession
And to land owners it serves as protection
From the risk of losing ownership
Just because of improvement made in bad faith
Made without consent of the owner or Donor
The law made a stand in
OSHA V. OLAYOAYE
Where the tenant built a house on a land
without consent of the owner, donor
That the land and house therof
Belonged to the landlord
So you see...
Both: "There is hope"
Woman: I'll file a suit
With sufficient claims to sooth
The pain and agony i felt
All of the tears that i wept
The stigma to a large depth
I'll file a suit
Asking for a declaration that the land and the house
Are all and part of my wealth.

Moon drunk monster,
Once again I am here,
Alone, hurt and a little afraid.
Each night reminds me of my loneliness.
Every night takes a decade before daybreak.
My heart yearns for you.
Won't you come for me?
I'm tired and weary.
Won't you come and comfort me dear death.
Do I have to beg for you?
To keep me company?
Dearest friend death.
My soul awaits you.

Seas and Skies
And somedays I wonder if the skies and seas had
an affair in the past and if they still share that one
last kiss at the beach?

I mastered the art of pain,
The magic of agony,
As it seeps through every vein.
Am now a fine master of emotion,
Dealing with certain confusions,
As the world around me shatters,
And the whole new me blossoms.
Tis a new chapter to uncover,
A whole length of characters to know.
A fantasy filled life,
Of unending grief at night.

Confused, Arjuna asked his friend
"You say knowledge is superior to action,
Then I see no reason to fight this war
So please clear my this dissatisfaction"
"Knowledge is for those inclined for contemplation"
Krishna said, continuing his gospel
"And path of work for those seeking action
Now, your doubts I shall dispel
"All men act by their modes of nature
Not for a moment can one seek refuge in inaction
Those who think so are premature
As inaction does not beget knowledge
"Some refrain physically from external action
But in their minds run a devil's workshop
Know them to be hypocrites, O Arjuna
A true Karma Yogi indulges in his duties nonstop
"He works not for the fruits of joy
But as a constant sacrifice for my pleasure,
Only such a man is superior
And God will bestow upon him what he shall desire
"Celestial Gods will be pleased with them
Offering prosperity and happiness for all
But those who don't sacrifice are worthy of condemn,
And to those thieves sin will befall
Those who eat after offering food to me
Will get rid of all their sins
But those who eat without that sacrifice
Will literally be eating sin -

"Every living being depends on food
Which is produced from the soil by rains
Rains are blessed upon us due to our sacrifices
And sacrifice is doing our prescribed duties
"The prescribed duties lead directly to God
From whom the Vedas have manifested
And they will reap the fruits and reward
For such a man goes beyond duty
"One such great was King Janak
Who via his actions realised God
Such actions common people follow
Such great person's words they swallow
"I myself have no duty in this world
But still indulge in what is prescribed
Otherwise chaos would have unfurled
For people follow the path I transcribed
"The wise should inspire the ignorant
As the blinded soul thinks of itself as the doer
The illuminated know the soul is exuberant
And are released from Karma's bonding rigour
"So perform all your actions as an offering
Remove the shackles of selfishness
Be a role model and stop bickering
Pick up your weapon and start fighting
"Ruin awaits those who doubt my teachings
And are unfaithful to what I say
As natural tendencies propel living beings
Perform your own duties imperfectly,
Rather than to do others' duties perfectly -

The world is Sleeping
She is in deep thinking
Her ear phones are on,
Her eyes is full of tears,
And her heart is full of memories,
The world is still sleeping!
She is still in pain
