Nigerian ....but time, like a cloud, is fleeting...
I am just a medium through which Ideas pass through And materials and money From the high hand To the upturned hand A portal if you understand- wherein you find soul-white painted walls Elegant and holy in its transition. Not a slither of doubt To cast the shadow of foul ambition Thank you. Two words. If you forget everything I try to tell you Please remember Two words. Bare and Serious. That’s all you need to carry along really. Please? Thank you.

Oath Of A Professional, 11:11pm
What is it about the world     that leaves you so conflicted?     why is your tone     pale as bone?         Glance at this man     who suffers the burden     of the misery you make     all too real.       Does the world pay for your dreams     and refunds your nightmares?         Where the source     of this your sorrow?   Is summer too hot,     winter too cold?     Perhaps the rain is too wet, and the heat too warm? Or     are you just spineless,     and not as bold as they say you were?

Beware—- The feelings walking Or running in your chest In a rhythm morphing Into a hypnotic dance Intoxicating—- You are not numb No You are soft and caring The gummy bear The marshmallow pillow Beware—- The speed of intent One moment cold calculating The next all guns gone a-blazing Ecstasy Craving To be touched, teased To be pinched, pushed around In a seductive way In a kind, gentle way Beware—- What you say Singing in a charming voice Making magic with words That bounce off heartbroken walls Know this well; Stones catch feelings too

Flirt
stereotyped- scarred for life stigmata but still a man has to get his dollar dive deep in the murky water of service and humility, sailors know that's where the jewelry is and Life's gems- and Life's treasures- and Death's life- and Death's pleasures- so be fearless, no second thought is needed- you should know your soul is eternally bound to a life in... in... infinity.... ... why fear a look down just ignore their frowns, they're clowns- they know the dirt comes off they know you are strong, you scare them coz you are tough and you dare too much and you dare be bold they know the glitter beneath your pain is gold Maya thought right: 'from the dirt, I rise' why not keep it simple so you don't pay the price the old ones shrug it off saying, 'they only want your life' they say 'it's nothing' but you know what? it's something, who wants to live trapped, caged, feeling dead inside smiles you must know can never beget dimples grace you must know honors the humble who needs praise? since I am done, i thank you for reading now hurry along please be gone they are waiting

Good Bye
You gauge my feverish eyes, Sick-to-death, And you hide the medicine And you serve the **** A million hours A million jokes A million laughs- All for naught

Not A Friend
I float Unlike a butterfly- No Like a character Overwhelmed by the drama That is life I wander In search of innocence; The show too gory Too soiled from its very beginning Life- numbered and cast aside I am Just another leaf in Autumn's wind I float Unlike a butterfly But like a lone wanderer lost In a world too vast to fully understand Deaf to Gravity's eery call I walked lightly upon the earth Now? I float

I Float
Beware the company when going in To the deep, the dark The raw, the truth Zoom in on the mark Of wisdom, of knowing Of humility, of silence For once you are in Through the dark shroud-- Words become silent not loud (enough) Power is subtle, invisible Info is subliminal, impossible And the light wisdom gained is heavy to keep So yes-- Beware the company when going in

Beware The Company
I am a loner in words-- A lover in deeds Don't trust me; Look close You'll see My dark white And my black light

Dark black, light white
You gauge my feverish eyes, Sick-to-death, And you hide the medicine And you serve the **** A million hours A million jokes A million laughs- All for naught

Memories Lost
You are a bleeding romantic. Ever so ready to fall in a love pool but alarmingly lazy when swimming out of it because you have grown accustomed to its strange warmth You want to capture a moment, and keep it to yourself but your eyes are not lenses. Your eyes, in stead, see the magic beyond surfaces and the truth behind the incomplete enigma-that is a man's heart. And like young Einstein, you wish to pull the broken pieces together Countless Einstein hearts, much like yours, wail from the lost underworld. And a few, like mine, that have managed the incredible feat of escape, wish to never return to the underground. I perceive you are different; Unscathed by the pain and the loss, you wish to return. I read your heart in a noisy room the other day, and I dare say, when words cut you or when your heart breaks, you don't bleed like us, you bleed romance.
