OUR HEART MET
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
As my
friendly lover
and my most
loveliest friend.
Destiny binds
us together.
Heart called to
the heart,
and love answered,
merged us
beautifully in bliss.
Our heart met  
and love blooms.
Beautifully it happened,
like a butterfly
dancing in the wind,
drawn to a
beautiful flower,
love found us.
Indeed she saw
my past
and stepped into
my future.
Customized with
my completeness.
Love could never
have found a
better home than
our hearts.

MEND YOUR WORDS
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
My ears are
not here to
listen to your
nasty words.
If it doesn't
bring solace and
healing to comfort
my tender heart,
then keep silent,
and be quiet
for it makes
my ears tingle.
My ears are
also neither for
decorations,
nor just to
wear earrings but
as a satellite dish
designed to sensitise
my being,
feed my soul
with things that
edify my heart
and leave the fairest
impressions of love
to ignite my life
with the fire of
the spirit to
light my path.
Speak to me
only the words
that resonates with
my soul in
response to completeness
of your love.
Out of the heart
the mouth speaks
good or evil,
both the words,
the mouth and
the heart becomes
corrupt or give life,
defile or sanctify
the whole body system,
to become *****,
or a saint.  
It's time to
mend your words
and like the
flow of honey,
let your words
come out so sweet,
to comfort the
brokenness of every heart.

ROOM FOR EACH OTHER
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
Do you travel
east or do you
travel west.
How do you travel,
my friend.
Is it to
the south side
or the north.
Where do you
travel to and
where do you
travel from.
The whole world
is yours brother man.
Everything created
have their
place and purpose.
They help us
to flourish.
None is on this
earth by mistake.
Make room for each.
It was meant to be.
Stretching a little,
sometimes a little
more than a little,
to get to what
we crave for
is the way of
all creatures,
great and small.
There is only
one temple of
the Spirit and
that is our body.
When you touch
someone else with
your heart and
your hands,
you touch heaven.

MY DESIRE
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
There is only
one thing that
my heart ever
wanted and desired.
Something very special
and simply so sweet
that it craves for.
The only thing i
could give myself to,
something that i
ever yearn for.
And this is it,
that I'll never
be consumed by
the love of
someone who yearn
to occupy and
possess my heart,
the giver of love,
a lover of my heart
more than by
the love of the self,
that emanates
from my soul.
Self love is beautiful,
it's definitely the
true beginning of love.
To cherish yourself
opens up the door
to the inner temple.
It takes you
to the sacred corner
of your sanctuary
within your heart
where the candle light
of divine love is lit.
From here,
the showers of rain,
falls softly to wet
the rose of your
inner garden to quietly
unfold tenderly
to bring bliss
and loveliness to
your beautiful soul.
It causes the dews
of love to descend
upon your heart.
And even ignite
the moonlight of love
to shine on your path,
engage and magnetise
your whole being to
be in sync with love.
And boom!,
the true beauty
of love blooms.

I'M JUST HERE
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
There is just
something excellently
beautiful about you.
I'm so lost
without it.
Each time
i close my eyes
i remember all
those funny little
things you say
and do to me.
It still makes
my feelings want
to burst.
I'm so devastated
without your presence.
I'm here just
because of you,
can't you see
I'm just here
because of you.
I'm so done
without you,
this is the
place of bliss,
a lovely and
radiantly beautiful
place.
Real love is
born here,
a beautiful place
you left me,
i'm so speechless,
it's so stunning,
i can't even
breath or talk
to describe the
moment.
I'm so breathless
my love, help me.
It's been a while
i felt this way
about something
so profoundly
mesmerizing.
I'm so helpless,
can it ever
linger for a
little bit more.
It seems like
i'm floating in
the clouds with
my wings spread out.

OF HOPE
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
The stars joyfully
accompanied
the moon to
mystify the starry
night sky,
waiting for the
sun to rise
at dawn to
greet the morning.
Bringing the
new dawn to fruition
with better days ahead.
Tomorrow beams
with beautiful
hues of divine light
and love.
The flowers blooms,
attracting the bees
for pollination,
with the message
of hope and
fresh breathe.
The children playing
and singing in
the rain again,
voices and laughter
heard in the garden.
And for the
first time in a
long time,
peace and happiness
returned with gladness.

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
to establish your endeavors.

CAGED
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
The enemy in
you is yourself.
The enemy inside,
peeping within
your soul,
whispering through
your mind,
plotting his follies
in your heart.
Hidden behind
the veil and
hiding inside the wall,
he built a
self made prison wall
and fenced himself
in his dungeon
where he wrought
abominable wickedness.
And God said,
love your enemies
as yourself and
he obeyed and
loved himself
for he is
the nearest neighbor
to himself.
There is no
enemy more wicked
than your heart
and no soul
with more problems
than your mind.
Only you can
choose to be
a saint or a demon.
The key to life
and death has
been given to you
because you are
the possessor of
heaven and earth.
Speak now to
yourself aloud or
whisper softly and
quietly to your
soul to redeem
yourself from yourself.
The first and
the last enemy
to conquer is yourself.
Love yourself enough
to love others
enough like you
love yourself.

ALL YOU EVER NEED
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
Take a deep
walk into
your feelings to
view the heart.
As if standing
on the shoulders
of a giant,
you can see
the valley of
your darkness and
beams of the
light of your rising.
Like the one
lying down at
the wheat field,
you can hear
the subtle walk
of the gazelles,
as if mimicking
the flutters of the
heart racing with
the pulsating and
rhythmic steady
beats of the
one in love.
Listening to music,
you will hear
the voices of
the beloved telling
the stories
of the heart.
Look beyond the
mountains and across
the sea to
see how aloof
and lonely your heart
feels when isolated
and marginalized.
Hidden within the
crevices of your
beautiful life
is everything you
ever needed to
really live,
if you really care
to find out.
Loving and living
your life fully,
without trying to
impress anyone
is all you ever need.

I WALKED AWAY
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
Since there is
nothing i do
that brings happiness
to your heart.
Even though i tried
but you never
opened up your
heart fully to
accept me.
Only to belittle
and cut me down.
At your feet
is not where
i am meant to be.
With you
i don't feel fulfilled.
Of what purpose then
is this waste,
besides my presence
is not honored and
meant nothing to you.
I have no place
or meaning
in your heart.
You are always angry
about everything,
always complaining
about this and that,
about what i do
and don't do
that ****** you off.
Is there then nothing
i do that makes
you feel good.
Maybe i am
your demon but
i am also
someone's angel.
Am a light
in their tunnel.
Like the air,
without me,
they can't breath.
And since
i have become
your unnecessary
annoyance,
why are you
still hanging around me.
Can't you see,
we are not
seeing eye to eye.
I sincerely don't
want to follow
the path you
choose to walk,
and i refuse
to be that
sinner you want
me to be,  
it is of darkness.
Don't you see
i am like
a butterfly,
happy and dancing
in the wind.
I love the rain
and i love
the quiet path
I've chosen for myself.
None of these
makes you happy,
I'm gone with the wind.
I need to
walk away from
your barrages and
bad temper because
it is ruining
my happy life.

DARKNESS RECEDED
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
And the light
entered through the
heart to affect the
known and unknown.

There the rivers
flows through its
tributaries to give
life and light
to heal the body.

Though the heart
is hidden in
darkness away from
the light.

But it is
full of light
and eternal divine love
to cast the
darkness away.

The beauty of it's flame,
full of warmth
and loveliness  
can melt the iceberg.

The darkness,
dispelled and quietly
receded yielding even
to the tiniest light.

Infiltrated and penetrated
through the cracks
into the heart
to vitalize
and give vigor
to the soul.  

The darkness,
can never struggle
with the light,
for there is no
power in darkness

And no power
of victory to
conquer you.
For there is always
a way of escape.

REVIVED
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
About this very time
sometime in time.

Unbelievable events that
left me speechless occurred.

So on and
so forth happened.

But i didn't do and
didn't say a thing.

As if dumb,
my mouth was mute.

My tongue stiff
as if stuck to the palate.

Everything failed.
My mind numbed.

With profound impact of
that force on my spirit.

My heart melted,
and my body weak.

As if weak on my knees,
i fainted with exhaustion.

But love came again and
revived me as strength came back.

The tired body received vigour
and as a unicorn resurrected.

Vitalised and awakened,
ready to take another chance.

No retreat,
no surrender for this is my morning.

A SEX SLAVE

I am a
slave in forced
*** labour with a
crazy demon possess
freaking *****.
A slave in
bonds with a
Nymphomaniac.
Here I am,
his forced mistress,
a *** slave.
He lied to me
and lay with me,
my body he took
by force daily.  
I am her
slave in chains
and in pains,
a prisoner
pretending to love
a lunatic.
I can still
hear her groaning
and moaning like
an animal in
the other room,
while she waits
as i refreshed.
She's killing me
with her spells
and *** magic.
A slave to
a wild man.
A slave in
fetters,
locked up in
a *** dungeon,
abused daily.
But in my
soul i am free,
even though i
can't see the
day light or
the morning sun,
only a flicker
of light from
the doorway and
the incandescent of
the moon light
at night penetrating
through the cracks
of the window.
I am a
*** slave working
day and night,
but poorly fed
to satisfy the
wantonness of a
devilish man and  
a whorish woman,
insatiable in their
****** desires.
Their appetite for
*** is terrifying.
Only a demon
possess freaking
prince and princess
of the dark
can match their
strength.
Free me now,
i beg of you.

BEYOND COMPREHENSION
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
Beyond the far side
over the hills
and the mountains,
across the river bank
and the ocean,
within the cool breeze
of the sea,
at the heart of
all seasons of
ages long gone
and the one to come,
the firmament holds
the secrets of
creation and the ancients
because it has
seen it all.
The sun and
the moon,
the stars of the
galaxy are the
true witnesses to
how man evolved
to become what
they are now.
But their infinite
loveliness are beyond
comprehension.
All the deep
dark secrets absorbed
are hidden and
pulsates within
their heart beat
Unimaginable and
intriguing are the
fabrics woven
interchangeably to
form whatever it is
that made up
the intricate complex
and textures of our lives.
Amazing and glorious
are the beauty
of their breathtaking
presence.
Delicately and beautifully,
yet without threats
they protectively
wrapped us in
their infinite loveliness.

Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
I see in
your eyes all
those things
you wished
that you had,
and the pain
they caused you.
I see in
your face the
longings you
craved for and
the hurts they
created in your
tender heart.
I know how
all of it
makes you feel.
I know the
thunderstorms
will abate,
i know the
rain will eventually
definitely always
cease and disappear,
I know that
the seasons will
come and pass
but i also
know that the
ocean can never
stop flowing or
run dry,
and i know
that the mountains
and the hills
will always
confront us and
never be moved.
But I know
that your heart
will always heal
and love will
always find you.

AS IT PLEASES
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
Natural expression
of burning love
exude from the
heart and engulfed
my soul with
such great force,
power and strength
with the ability
to overtake
my being and
override my
past mistakes
as it pleases.
With dexterousness,
thus pointing a
way towards a
new lifestyle,
with emotional warmth.
Like a beautiful
flower blossoming,
love sprouts again
in my heart.
But the cloud
of darkness
of the emotional
wound from the
past hurts that
still hovers is
healed but not forgotten.
Love is born again
in my heart
and the light
of love with
its exuberant life
has returned to
finally dwell in
its abandoned castle.

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

Laughter will be
heard again in

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.

Don't be
left out

for it is

of the dead.
It is
a dark pit,
desolate and
empty lonely
prison.
No one will
ever come for
your rescue.
A forgotten island
meant for the
walking dead.
Come out quickly
from amongst them.
Let the light
of love however
faint or small
shine beautifully

TELL ME
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
What is love.
Tell me what 
it is and where 
can i find it.
Can you tell me,
i beg of you. 
Can't seem
to grasp it.
I know it,
but can't 
understand it.
Is it like 
the flowing river 
meandering towards 
the ocean. 
Can it be
on top of
the mountain or
the ***** of
the hills or down,
down the valley,
or beneath the
sea where the
surf searches the
sand for symbols.
Is it just 
a thought in 
my head or the
tears flowing down
my cheeks or
at the centre
of my laughter.
Is it hidden 
in the stars 
up in the sky 
or lost inside 
the wind blowing 
wherever it pleases 
or in rainfall 
cascading on rooftops. 
Is it a 
flower or in 
the fragrance of 
a rose unfolding 
within the garden.
Tell me where 
the heart of 
love is hidden.
I know it 
is shed abroad 
in our hearts
but can you 
see it.
Can you feel
the presence within,
pulsating inside 
your heart.
Is it within 
the eyes of one 
looking at the beloved 
or is it just 
a dream or 
a figment of 
the imagination. 
I just can't 
figure it out 
because once 
it hits you,
you just gotta 
fall to pieces.

LOVING EACH OTHER
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
Embrace each other
but in-brace
in love,
touch each others
soul with the
beauty of your heart,
but feel the flutters
of love deeply
as if drunk
on the wine
of your love.
Know but understand
the very mind
and being of
each other.
You are truly in love:
very much in love.
Embrace each other
with everything
that's in you
to be fused
together as one.
Never ever
let go in
your heart the
one you love,
hold on tight
with your hands
as well as
with your embrace.
Your lives are
intertwined and
woven by love.
The thin line
that binds you
together as one
will definitely and
eventually disappear
after a while.
Be interested in
each others
well-being and
nurture yourselves.
Bliss and peace
shall be
your potions.
Don't worry about
the deep end
of the darkness,
but just float.
For your heart
will fly upward
towards the
morning sun to
be invigorated again
after every dip
in life's storm.

help us to
find the light
in our love,
and the mountains
and hills of different
segments of our
lives that teaches us
how to safely circumvent

and understand
the depth of

of faith into

ushers in joy
and gladness.
A walk with
its own complicated
and complex jigsaw
arrangements.
A walk that
let us confront
our vulnerability
and humanness.

walk with me my love.
Together we can
fight anything that
threatens our happiness.

EMPTY CAGE REMAINS
Emeka Mokeme Aug 2019
Ruffled and unsettled,
pressed by the 
loneliness deep
within my being,
joy flew away
like a bird
and perched on
the window pane
of another.
Pain seeps
from the heart
into the bones
and tissues like
hot oil burning
even the marrows.
Only the birds messed
empty cage remains,
to tell the 
intricate and intriguing
stories of once 
inhabited beautiful island,
called "my heart".
How would i
tell another the
beauty and glory
of the joy
long gone,
left on a
beautiful but now
abandoned heart.
Dropped like an
old used earthenware.
But certainly it is 
still needful and
useful like an 
uncultivated farmland.
And the truth
is that this 
very thing
is really worrisome.
How would anyone
new begin to
understand the depth 
of love once shared
by this very heart.
But is it
really real love or
just another mistake,
because i couldn't
win her heart.
Can true love
really be lost.
It is a terrible
accident for it
almost consume me.
Where is this
love hiding,
whisper now to 
my ears where
your true self abides,
so my whole being 
can truly move on 
and my heart may rest.

to a serenade
of a beautiful orchestra,
you float like
an angel as
i watch you
take a walk
in the garden
this morning.

beautiful gift from
the gods and
I'll never finish

in the morning sun
of our night,
will there still
be peace or
will doom cover
the whole sky
with children tears.
Or are we
stuck in this
forsaken place
without a helper.
Hiding now  
in the mountains
and caves.
The vortex of
the oblivious beyond
calling out from
between the depths
of the mountains
and the seas,
while the sky,
the moon and
the stars watch.
Inbetween all of
your worries,
even the trees yearns
to be still
but the wind
will not let
the leaves to
be quiet.
Can we truly
keep out the
heat wave plunging
into the soul.
Scary as it
may seem,
entrance to
the great portal
to the vortex
is now open.
And Man will make
himself extinct by
the hands of men.

LET ME IN
Emeka Mokeme Aug 2019
Your heart is just
so too beautiful,
i want to
be a part
of your cloud.
Not lagging or
drenched by the
ugliness of a
bad weather.
Driven out of
the hole like
a rabbit running
from a wildfire.
Like the bird
flying away in
a hurry from
the tempest sky,
would i have
a place to
perch in your
beautiful heart.
Like a beautiful
red herring tossed
out of the water,
can i at least
get a chance
to live again.
Can i get
a moment to
snuggle up with
you and take
a cup of
marshmallows in
hot chocolate on
this cold lonely night.
Let me be
the gentle breeze,
soothing and calming
to your frail
tired soul.
Let me into
your presence
as an acolyte
to tend your
inner temple,
i won't disturb
your quiet moments.
Just take a
chance on me,
don't you believe
I'm worth the risk.

THE WAY YOU ARE
Emeka Mokeme Aug 2019
See the way
you made me feel,
i smile like
i won a trophy.
But indeed
you are the
best trophy
I've ever won.
Your presence comforts
my heart and
your words make
the day beautiful.
Your smile radiates
like the stars
in the night sky.
It shines like
the twinkling star,
that caused my heart
to race like
the gazelle running
down the hill
on a quiet evening.
So soft and
tender are your
embrace,
like that of
a soft smooth
symphony orchestra.
Beautiful as the
sun shinning over
the shimmering snow.
Reminds me of
the joyful tenderness
of a beautiful soul.
You are the
one who makes
my heart smile.
You caused my
soul to flip
like the butterfly
dancing over the
wild flowers in
the orchard.

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.

UNDERSTANDING
Emeka Mokeme Aug 2019
I don't understand,
but the things
you do
baffles me.

I don't understand,
but my life
mirrors exactly
that same things
you do that
stuns me.

I don't understand,
but the darkness
of the secrets
hidden behind
those eyes
haunts me.

I don't understand,
but even the
cloud speaks
of your stunning
beauty and your
beautiful heart
that marvels me.  

I don't understand
why I don't
understand the
things i don't
understand,
that confuses me.

I don't understand,
but the sound
of your heart
reveals the secret
of the love
and the hurts
you feel at
this moment.

But understanding
is all i
ever needed to
understand what
i don't understand,
right now.

Be understanding
with all your
getting.
In it there
is no suffering.

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.

MAGNIFICENTLY BEAUTIFUL
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2019
It was just
cuteness overload,
as this
evening sunset
ushers in
the twilight
with effortless efforts
so beautifully.
It's effects
touched the
heart magnificently.
The freshness
of this mystical
beautiful evening,
enchanting and
magnificently blissful,
prepares the moment
for tomorrow.
As we individually
speak forth
with faith
into the deep,
so shall it
bring forth
fruits sowed
according to
our intense
deep desire.
What you sowed,
is what you get.
You must
rewrite your night,
to manifest
your day star.

BEAUTIFULLY GRACIOUS
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2019
Sad beautiful truth
we must confront.
Love has wings,
flies away when
not nurtured and
if iniquity wraps
the heart.
Love with all
your heart at
this present moment,
before your morning
turn into night.
Love stays
only when your
ego dies.
It will embrace
your heart,
only if you can
genuinely forgive
yourself and the
one you hurt.
Love kills the
pride of self
with its light,
piercing softly through
the darkness of
the soul.
Softly it binds the
two hearts together.
Nothing can be
more beautifully gracious
than hope uniting
two in love
making them one.

SUBTLY SO SOFTLY
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2019
The smile of
nature touches
the soul.
Nothing makes
the flowers
not to
share unreservedly.
Its fragrance
so endearing.
Their loveliness
appeals to the
eyes as they
unfold slowly
like the light
piercing softly
through the doorway
in the morning.
The morning
rain is beautiful,
and the flowers
are so grateful
as it cascades
so gently and
subtly so softly
on their tender leaves.
The flowers dancing
in the rain
at the sounds
of its rhythmic fall
to the ground.
The rain and
the flowers
having fun together,
as they await
the sunshine to
soon manifest,
for the cosmic law
fulfills all things
gloriously.

OF LOVE
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2019
This chain
of love is
connected to
heaven and earth,
like the sky.
As the
ocean breeze,
soothing and
calming to
my soul.
Your presence
is like
a balm
to my heart.
Like you flowed
down from
the throne,
of heaven
as if poured
from the
silvery chalice
for a purpose.
The lit
place of love
is where you,
my love
are contained.
That's where
you are going.
Right in my
heart you shine.
Beautifully crafted,
as if sculptured
by an Angel.
You make
my world glow.
Lovely and radiant,
you are
the one
that shines.

MY HEART SHINES
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2019
In darkness of
my dreaming,
the light of you
will stay.
The light in
the darkness
of my heart
shines because
of love in it.  
Like the sky,
you are a
beautiful dream,
wrapped by a
piece of yarn
linked to the
starry sky.
My love is like  
a diamond buried
in the mud
of the heart.
Needs nurturing to
make it glow.
The strength of love
in your heart
makes the light
of your diamond shine.
Like a tree
that stands strong
on the cold lake,
the depths of
morning sun greets
you with love
to warm your heart
with tenderness.
The liquid iron
that flows in
the water shall
be gathered again
and be strengthened,
for the roses
blooming in the rain
are extraordinarily
beautiful.

INSATIABLE
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2019
Look again beyond
the mountains.
I see you
standing between
the sea and
the sky.
Between the
depths of the
oblivion and
the firmament.
It seems the
sky and
the sea are
the same.
I'm loss for
a moment but
not lost.
The sun shines
through the sky
beautifully as you
shine in beauty
in the world.
What are you
searching for?
You truly definitely
don't know exactly
what it is.
I'm not confused
but just thinking.
After this,
you still look
for another,
you remain
gullibly insatiable.
Are you after luck,
love, and
peace of mind?  
Do not look
for it at
the other end
of the world,
otherwise you will
return disappointed,
bitter and desperate.  
Search on the
other end of
yourself afterwards,
in the depths
of the heart.
Maybe you'll
find it there.

AT THAT MOMENT
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2019
It came like
a flash of
lightening,
as if the
whole world just
crashed over me,
like crushed eggs.
My heart melted
and i became
weak at the knees.
I was humbled
by that moment.
My heart was
lonely and i
needed solace and
a warm hug
to be comforted.
I needed someone
just to tell me
that it's going
to be okay.
The thoughts of
emptiness and
being alone overwhelmed
me as i looked
at the vast emptiness
without her presence
in my life
not minding
it was time
for her to go.
I was so
overpowered by the
sense of loss
that i couldn't even
remember to have
a meal or clean up
and groom myself.
I felt like
the walking dead,
numbed to my bones.
Today as i
looked back to
reflect on all
that occurred since
her demise.
My heart is
grateful for everything.
And i asked
the Almighty to
bless and keep her.

JUST LOVE
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2019
I love myself
so much that
I love you
so much that
you have to
start loving me
so much because
we are but one
beneath our differences,
dreams, and desires.
I can't stop
giving myself to you,
until our souls merged
and immersed in bliss.
You are wonderfully
and beautifully crafted
and configured just for me.
Believe it or not,
I deeply love you.
My soul loves you
and i need you.
My heart is
your next day
dwelling place.
And right here,
this man and
that man was
born there.
But i will be
waiting for you
with love right here.

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.

SILENCE
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2019
Hush now and
be quiet,
your voice distracts
the calmness of
the heart.
Keep still at
this present moment,
the sound of
your shuffling feet
disturbs the silence.
With awe and humility,
humble yourselves
before your self.
Be silent,
speak only with
your heart,
Angels are listening,
even to your breathe.
Pause for a moment,
so you can
hear the whisperings and
unspeakable utterances
from other spheres.
Lift up your heart,
and let your soul
be immersed in
bliss unknown.
You will be
amazed and perplexed
at the impact
of the spectacular
and force
on your own spirit.
Be ever mindful
of whatever you
do at this moment
for the beauty
of the divine
will manifest itself.
Everything dies,
to sprout again
in the brightness
of his glory.
By reason of sin,
all filthiness of
body and mind
is purified
and the heart
restored to glory.
Don't come too
close with an
impure heart,
peradventure you
are but defiled and
touched by the
impurities of our
down world.
But never mind,
the brightness of
their glorious presence
will purify you.

ALCHEMIST
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2019
I am the
true alchemist.
I'm back again,
resurrected
from the dead.
I died but still
not dead to
this down world.
Reborn again,
transmogrified and
regenerated,
renewed recreated
into something
never existed before,
alive and well.
For everything dies
to sprout again.
I have woven
the web of
mortals into
immortality.
Immersed in the
water of life,
raised by the
elixir of the gods.
I am the
solution to mankind.
Like the drops
of sulphur and
salt into the
alchemists cauldron,
changed occurred,
transforming its liquid
into beautiful solid pearls.
So I turned my pain
into something
truly beautiful.
My sorrows became
my gain.
My worries turned
into true gem.
My troubles is
now my bread.
All grossness and impurities
turned into gold.
Impossibility configured and
nurtured to possibilities.
My sadness became
the true essence
of my being.
I am delighted
for who I've truly
turned out to become.
Look at me now,
the man of dust
now becomes the
diamond and priceless.

YOUR INSIDE KNOWS
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2019
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.

MY SKIN COLOUR
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2019
The problem of
my skin colour
has become the
problem generally.
The politics of
my skin colour has
really eaten dangerously
deep inside their heart.
A whiplash against
my chocolate skin is
really humiliating.
They say I'm black
but no,
I'm chocolate.
It haunts them
in their night.
The white against
chocolate and
chocolate against white.
Anarchy has set in
at their backyard.
It made me
become a mark
eligible for elimination.
They can't even
really decimate me,
their touch is
like the sweetness
of the scratch
of an itch.
Everywhere i go
there's trouble because
of my skin colour.
They can't wipe
the color off
my skin,
it is of royalty
and the stamp
of the immortals.
They say I'm
the ***** one
from the dark world.
But why am i
the favourite of
the gods.
I can't hide
from my skin colour,
even nature favoured me
because that's what
and who I am.
I felt like
I'm not worthy
of my being
but life pulsates
within me.
There is so
much segregation
that didn't make
sense to me.
But they still
hang around me.  
I didn't understand it,
that's why
i walked away
from their home
without nothing.
Yet they claimed
to seek me.
The called me
an illegal alien.
Yet they illegally
enslave me.
I lost my
sense of self.
My inside know
I'm not lost.
My skin colour has
become a problem
for them.
But they can't
do without me.
If you take away
my skin color,
what is wrong with me.

YOUR WORDS
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2019
Watch your words
so you  don't
hurt ones you love.
Speak gently and
softly as only
the heart where
God dwells can utter.
As an exalted being,
speak with love,
not the craftiness
of a deluded
cunning mind.
Words of deception
is like cancer,
it spreads.
Do not use
high handed words
to confuse the mind,
speak as simply plainly
as it is.
Because all of
your heavy words
weary the heart
to stupor.
If whatsoever you
want to say
is not better
than silence,
one should keep quiet.
The words that
just left your mouth
to the ones you
claimed to love
reveals the hidden intents
of the heart
where your spirit dwells.
Check and filter
your words
before you let
them go on
an errand of
peace or destruction.

BE BLESSED

Henceforth may you

May the road
before you open

May your destination
hasten towards you.
May the valley
lift its head
to become a pass
over a difficult
path for you.
Even the mountains
will level up
so it becomes
easier to cross.
The desert will
become habitable and
supply your needs.
The heavens will
open the door
to the
source of bounty.
Even the earth
shall ***** out all
confisticated possessions
belonging to you.
The wind shall
blow away hardships
and clear the
way for you.
The rainfall shall
indeed wash away
all filthiness and
restore your former
glory.
You shall never
be thirsty or
hungry ever again.
Laughter shall fill
your mouth and
you will sing
a new song.
There is such
a beautiful place
between the mountains
and the rivers
that is suitable
for all the lovers.
May it bring
solace and comfort you.
May its fruits
nurture you and
heal you.
Your household
shall be the
abode of the
Angels.
All beings shall
bear witness that
you are indeed the  
beloved of God.

NEVER MIND
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2019
Never mind about
last night rainfall.
Even this morning
heavy rain
that flooded the
streets and kept
everyone inside
their houses.
The rainbow promises
sunshine in a moment
till the evening  
Never mind about
the tear drops
from my eyes.
The heat of
the hugs from
your presence will
dry it up.
For the warmth
if your love
is my covering
on this very
cold lonely night,
were the moon
sit all alone up
in the firmament.
All the stars
wink and twinkle
to remind me
that I'm not alone.
Even the frogs
and the crickets
nearby with other
night creatures sang
their froggy chirpy
shrilly songs
to comfort me
on this cold lonely night.
The rainwater splashing
in steady drops
on the leaves
seem to clap
in rhythm to the
sounds of the night.
And their lullabies,
so sweet.

IRRESISTIBLE IN YOU
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2019
Erase my name
and my face
from your mind.
Did you see
how impressively
impossible it is
to discard my
presence.
I am like
a diadem on
your forehead,
the little pesky
irresistible
unnecessary irritant.
I am that
secret annoying part
of you that
won't go away.
Don't you know
i am the jewel
of your heart,
meant to be loved,
admitted and nurtured
by your thoughts.
Treat me right,
I beg of you,
i am the verse
in you.
Nature made it
that way.
Even your own heart
will rebel against you
and form forces
to repel your
opposing views.
Reconcile with yourself,
and remedy the
situation instead of
opposing yourself.
What is it
that makes you
think i am your
problem.
I am not
your unfriendly friend
but a brother
who seem to
seek for something
his heart desires
with no offense.
Refusal to  grant
required requests
made it seem so.
Out of unknowing,
selfishness and
misunderstanding
breeds enmities
and it's cousin
corruption.
Then foolishness will
lead suffering to
visit your abode.
Both with other vices
will be your
companion and
destruction.
Don't struggle but,
yield to conscience,
and free yourself
from the entanglement
of this horrible monster.
It's terrible venom
is a nightmare that
could see to your
quick demise.
Reconsider your stance,
because you can't get
rid of me.

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.
