32/M/NIGERIA Am a practising physician, doing my residency in internal medicine: Endocrinology division. I have been writing poems all my life,and quite frankly in love with it in all its entirety. I am excited to meet and read people of like minds.
Today births a new brood A race of mindless clones Of wakeful dreamers pining for a fix Always hunting for the perfect selfie Once their forebear's palate knew wine A well cooked meal could make them Wax poetry Those days now gone Now all hope is lost No eye or mind to see Picasso's Abstracts And the genius of Van Gogh a bore They wake to the first ping Hand glued to their deity in a fevered Blur of strokes They tweet and stream to their god in Hand And at night their sleep a faint ghost Of of what rest should be That faceless lifeless beast that tags Along everywhere the 'cool' takes Them Ethereal and all-knowing it is The god that fits perfectly in the palm of their hand Adieu to the old gods and goddesses There is a new god and his name is Tech!

A new god
Lovers meet in hallowed places Warm bed Thick duvet to dampen the floods to come Enter the actors The shy unsure steps Then brazen hands at last Buttons snap like a magician's show Bodies ones clad lay bare A kiss And then some A dance of two lips Twisting and tasting Tongues darting in an out like in a rhyme Then the winding of waist One thrusting The other receiving Sweat comes and hearts race Then the pace quadruples A battered bed Two tireless visionaries Pounding and panting in passion Singing wordlessly Time seem to wind on unchecked Then the cry A sound so sweet the eyes water Bodies stiffened Breathing hiked A moistened end to a sweetened act Here they are At the apogee of the world Sated at least for the sec Who knows what thing lies ahead When two unclothed lovers lay down?

A tune soaked in sweat
Let's give this a thought If one will eat right and love Eat that apple a day and not so much meat Take care to visit a doc a month Be slow to anger and watch it all Would he or she live forever? Or die all the same Life is a whirlwind Blowing hard and strong like a crazed trumpeter Who will survive its raging claws? And if we lived life Take a drink or more Of red wines and root bears Testing palates to sweet and sour Do we then live long? It seems to me we die Not for the passage of time A mass of a thousand tears and wears But we die just because we lived

Life
This here is a tale of two A chance meeting on a cold day Few words exchanged Distance made to vanish A frenzied search for a shield for roaming eyes Bodies glued like eyes to face A hungry kiss,in a thousand places violent roll in the sack Time passed Passion waned Now is just a dream A thing left in a sacred place Like a temple to be visited And brought to mind on demand

Ghost of a day in the past
Here is to you my child A few words from a man I hope is wise Don't give your heart so soon This realm is cold and callous Filled with poets and pirates aloft Yours is to hear their words But take care to see the hearts too Not all that shimmers should attract Be strong enough to see the beauty in something grey The wild turns of the climes pale compared to what a man could do Giving you dreams and then rob you of will Or make you supper but knock off the stool as you settle to feast Yet all hope is not lost Sometimes you meet an Angel along They hold your hands even when its hard to do so And dream dreams along with you as you go For those mighty few in this wild lands Live and live my girl But know that life is not picnic But like a Larkspur adorning arid lands Such is this place we call our world A study in contrasts Love and pain Sweet and sour For every smile you must war a frown And with the wisdom of age you must waste away a little These is all I give and I hope they comfort you along the way

DEAR AJIBIKE
I had a friend once with which I shared A soft  whisper in the light and dark Of how our life's would wind on earth We built walls on ice and dreams in air And now Like a day in a delirious mind we have waned And love once was now dead I wonder sometimes if it was ever real The lies we told ourselves That we would show the world what love means Beating against the cold hands of fate Hugging even when distance rage its divisive might Loving and fearless of the inevitable parting Now I lay alone with a ghost Dreaming and longing for the bye days Those sweet days when you loved my lies When just holding me in your eyes was cool And now like a stale wine we part Apart Two lover who once was now adrift Running aside like East away from West Perhaps some other life may come When we live those dream anew Learning to kiss and cuddle again And your head may yet find my shoulder again
