My ****** mind craved
a new hearing from you
I would sit night after night
Imagining castles and angels
I would dress not in a cape
But in Burberry mufflers and a hat
learning to serenade in your voice.
The in betweens beckon once in a while
but i have known the true voice
just like you know from deep within.
I know of a woman who thought picking cherries
and dreaming of castles were for the wrong
I know of another woman,
Evolved from the Eloi Clan
And Elvish. And she sings
The rain to sleep.
She is Bella
I am learning
to breath
and I hope you still do.

writing letters of apology,
we utter words like,
'weakness in man. the curse!
women, the abominable sin'.
writing letters of apology
we first deny the obvious
welding lies with truth
wrecking trust with words
writing letters of apology,
we quite recall others
who stepped in these traps
wearing shields and helmets
writing letters of apology,
wriggling in pain and depression
we gnash our teeth
words admitting that man is weak.

today i played Ambre
in a concert of 20 people
with my eyes closed all
but at the 25th bar.
Out of every sobre
heart i saw for that 3 seconds
i saw your own eyes closed
enwrapped in the music.
you weren't thinking about the calibre
of people in this small room,
or the cost of the ticket.
Not about the cold room
or warm bodies or the fibre
that stuck so close to your skin
that they were seduced with its pleasure
or the fingers that pressed the keys
Your mind covered by sabre
in the message.we both knew
what Nils Frahm wrote in that piece.
We know. But we can't say

This is the story of a peasant
born to the famous town plumber
(If thy desire ponders over a happy ending
i fear your longing be smeared dark)
At an early age i left my father's path
to find fantasies and mysteries
that surpass the answers in books of knowledge
i learned the art of magic.
from the russians, the orients and the arabs
mysteries way beyond the imagination, i could solve
yet the only mystery i couldn't solve
was why my heart couldn't let her go.
night after night, theatres were packed out
that i might pull the hare out the hat
Or maybe draw the love from her heart
Soon I became known amongst the nobles
thus the Great Book confirms, " ...he shall sit with princes"
nothing else satisfied me
but putting the magic in her face
Days passed
and night came
years blew
and I overhear my damsel call them illusions
illusions? illusions? what i fed from! what she basked in
illusions? that which gave others hope?
was my life an illusion?
but i loved. I loved her in a thousand ways
Morn came and the doors left ajar
My show stolen, my canary gone
the face i gloried in every morning
the eyes i adored, the lips i oft kissed
disappeared before me
the All Known.
Dear audience, I lay here cold
and broken
the crow mocks
and the owl watches
Dear audience, this night is cold
colder than my very soul
colder than my very soul
colder than my very soul
this night is cold
colder than my very soul
(echo)
icy cold

You have secrets
Dark dark secrets
Now you stay far away
From my grasp not knowing
that I have mine too
You once slept with a god
And birthed the star, Eridanus
That night you cried.
You cried a river but the river
Was for the blood shed.
Dark secret! Dark, dark secret.
No one knew about this
But now I do.
I have my secrets too
I once drove over a bird
Its wings were broken
But I didn't see it on time.
A swerve to the left,
a swerve to the right
and there was blood under my tire
and golden feathers became red.
I became a murderer at 21.
The most horrible feeling ever
But now you know.
See! Secrets.
I have offered to wash this poison
from off your skin
I have offered to wash my stains
From off your chest
But you say,'Darling, I have secrets".
In your mind, each day I become thinner
And thinner
and thin
Like the smoke from your last cigarette
Each day I am trampled upon
Like the **** from your last stick
But in your heart, I am like your blood
craving nicotine every night the rain falls
every evening you hear the train hoot
every morning you see your brother.
i have secrets too.
they are with you.

teen (age) lover,
is there anything
I can change?
We have lost time
curse this watch
and lost touch
curse this skin
secret lover,
would it still work
if i hid our communion
under piles of dirt
this calendar
skimming through streets,
acting like i don't know you
this equation
surface lover
i could feed us
with more lies
but nothing feels
better than the truth
that i walk in your dreams
but i'm the sleeper
and nothing can change that
nothing has changed that
these metaphors!
but i still live in your fear
these metaphors!
tell me you understand.
Please tell me you understand!

when
you
see my shirt stained with blood
when
you
see my cheeks ripped with red
when
tonight
my ***** reeks with excess of red
leave me to my God,
, you don't know what happens
, behind closed doors.
leave me with my god
or love me deep.

They warned me often about my lavish spendings
and reckless lifestyle.
They warned me with heavy words like
poverty,
sleep,
children,
future,
hunger.
But I would not listen.
So they gathered and talked amongst themselves.
Planned for the day I would come late,
Asked that I followed them to get some latte
Then we parked at the place of initiation.
Women talking in languages other than my fluent tongue,
Smokes and fires! Firewood and charcoal!
Three days later, I'm driving to Aromire Road
For my steady diet of akara* and bread.
"Oh Seye, you now eat 'bean cakes'?"

you repugnant *******
you keep me wondering
just why god created you
they say He has a reason
for everything. Why he created you
I still don't understand. but lately
i wonder if you were created
just so i could have this day
to myself.
full of filth, creepy as hell
disgusting at the sound
of your belly being squashed
but for the sake of justice,
i sprayed you with my favorite
perfume.
not because i have a pint of love for you
but because every opportunity to end your life
should be fully taken advantage of.
i watched you die. it was slow.
first your legs uncoordinated,
you scrambled for the walls
but they failed you. they did fail you.
then you choked. i could almost hear it
you thought of the darkest place
to dig your grave. but not on my marble floor
i watched you die. i wanted it faster
but the sweet smell of the Hugo Boss
and the death of a scape goat...
a scape roach,
was bearable.
maybe you deserve a soundtrack
or a more befitting burial in a bin
but a poem for you is totally undeserving
save for my joblessness.

and then i infused
my fantasy in your dreams
tomorrow, you'll come.
