FRIENDSHIP SO DEAR
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
Hope and wonder
gives a soul uniqueness.
It's a genre full of happiness,
so secure but with our
own flaws,
the Antares that resides in
the heart to sting.
But still nurtures our
humanness with love so bizarre.
All mortals cry even kings or
in rags when it hurts,
but love brings healing.
For a vision so deep,
entangles so powerfully,
it's a mirage of beauty and pain.
A habitat of love divine,
an art of magic binding
us together.
Our soul can't fly away for,
within shore of the coast of love,
memories are made of countless forms.
Our friendship so dear,
can never end.
All hardship ends,
for love is established,
beautiful adventure begins,
and love blooms.

IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
If you are going
to tell me to leave,
i might but I won't.
I just can't.
Leave to where.
I've come a long way
just to be here
I can't quit.
I just got here.
This journey wont
just end now,
and here ever,
it has just began.
The time mark
just started.
Tick tock,
tick tock,
can you hear it.
It's been there
all along.
And I'm going
all the way,
to find the end
or is it the beginning.
It's  like the snake
biting it's tail.
The end or the
beginning,
whichever comes first,
it's still alright.
Both are points of
beginning.
Nothing ever ends,
only beginnings,
beautiful beginning
of something new.
Dawning wonderful,
new beginning.
Don't leave it,
and don't ever quit.
It is what it is
and it's all good.
I don't know what
I don't know.
But If you know,
you know.

DON'T BE DEFEATED
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
Where is your honor,
where is your faith.
Did your strength fail
or are you hiding
your face from shame.
Nothing much can be
done for anyone who
has lost the will to live.
When hope eludes you,
then death is eminent.
Do not be defeated
by the pesky unfortunate
circumstances popping
up here and there in
your life to harass
and disparage you.
You are not of the
down world but full of
zest and of life.
Hold on to your life
with so much love
and gentleness.
Your life is a gift,
cherish it.
It is a treasure worthy
to be guarded with might.
Honor it with dignity
and respect for you
are a unique blessing
to the world.
Never be untitled for
you are greater than
anything ever created.
Supernaturally superior
to anything in the universe.
Be glad that you are here
and all these too shall pass.

TEARS OF THE NOBLE ONE
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
Hear the cry
of this humble
Royal prince,
for the blood
of this Royal
noble one pleads
for his people
who are massacred
in numbers.
I plead with
everything that sinks
evil in man and pass
human understanding
and bring sanity
to human dignity
to wipe out
totally and eradicate
this evil working
in our midst.
May there be a
return of peace in
our communities.
We are family
and cannot be
disparaged by
any means.
Our lives can
never be untitled.
We cannot keep
on going back 
to the places
where we once
lost everything hoping
for a different end.
May the true
change bring back
unity and progress,
Prosperity and freedom,
integrity and peace.
Let truth and
genuine love return to us.
May the wing
of oneness like
an eagle the great
revered sacred bird
cover and shield us.
May we stand firm
unshakable like
the anunuebe tree,
the mystical king
of the forest,
that mysterious
outstanding king
of all trees
and like the elephant
that never forgets,
be gentle to one another.

IN YOUR SILENCE PEOPLE DIE.
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
In silence everyone
sits and watch as
the massacre continues.
Is there nothing,
anything at all  
anyone can do,
or just to sit on the fence.
Being afraid to speak
out is even worse.
It unwittingly shows you
are a part of the ongoing
anarchy and it *****.
Your silence to act out
means silent agreement
to encourage the crimes.
Where are the elders,
where are the elites,
where are the Influencers,
is there no one to standout.
Where is your honor,
or you don't know what
to be done.
Love don't cost a thing
It is absolutely fabulous and
fantastic.
Divine in nature and beautiful
to have and access.
With love enough you can
stand in the gap for them.
With the age old honor you
can save lives.
No one deserves to die
because of your personal
conviction and beliefs.
Fate and faith are very personal.
You may even be wrong in
your opinion at last.
What would you do if I
forcefully tell you on which
side of an egg you must eat
first or you die in my hands
for not believing me.
Don't tell me which side of
my body to lay on as I sleep,
or put your foot in my shoes to
walk for me,
neither lay your hand on my
stomach believing the food
you ate will pass into me
through your hands.
So the next time you think
about your beliefs remember
that I am not you.

QUINTESSENTIAL IN NATURE
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
The cosmic blessed
us abundantly with grace
and great abilities.
It infused within our being
the afflatus of the cosmic consciousness to
vitalise our spirit.
When the soul awakens,
it descends like a
fire from heaven.
It penetrates everywhere
with subtle energy of
unguarded love to
keep and hallow us
and forces our heart to
commune with the highest.
In a moment of surprise,
we discover something
so powerful,
so captivating,
with an alluring beauty,
and so beyond our persona,
we cannot believe
it is a part of us.
In truth, we are a part of it.
We discover something
so different and original
with an essential quality
so spiritual in many ways,
so quintessential in nature,
beautiful to the core.
The reason everyone is
searching for something
eternal to bring inner solace
and comfort to our lives.

BEAUTY OF THE ROSE
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
Endure your struggles
they are your strength,
divinely arranged to show
and teach you how to
reach your blessings.
You must learn how to
get past these life lessons.
To enjoy the value and
beauty of the rose your
hands must be pierced
by its torn.
It is only when hurt by the
torn of the rose that you
know and value the
tenderness of its petal.
To get close to the
honeycomb for the
taste of honey,
you must experience
the pains from the bee sting.
Inner beauty comes only
when the heart is purified
by the harsh realities
experienced from
the goriest encounters of life.
The scar left is
the assured sign and
reminder that you survived.
Purity of purpose is reposed
to make our lives right.
Here you will discover an
uncharted paradise with
a terrifying threat beyond
your imagination.
There is something so
dangerous in true beauty.
It's hidden treasures are only
revealed in the heart.

HIDDEN FURY
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
These killers are
closer than your
breath and a terrible one,
very disturbing,
so devastating and is
dreadfully depressing.
Like the northern wind
coming down with fury,
this aggression is so scary
and terribly terrifying.
Looks like evil lives here.
Grave secrets hidden
for ages resurfaced to
haunt everyone.
How can you leave your
home land in their hands,
even the home land securities
can't guarantee your safety.
You may be afraid to be
left alone in that creepy
place with no one around.
But mercy is rendered
and nothing shall harm you.
Do not worry about your fate,
enough wisdom is not yet
in you to predict God's plan
and purpose for you.
Yield yourself to be lead and
be guided by the light of
its pureness.
Be satisfied with its promptings.
Everything is working perfectly
well and equipped with all that is
required to bring an expected end.

THE SPIES IN THE HOUSE
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
My bathroom,
the bedroom,
my living room and
the kitchen are all
spying on me daily,
seen my nakedness,
more than enough
to describe every
bit of me,
records my every
moment and daily visits,
day and night.
I'm not ashamed to display
my nakedness even
**** without decorum.
My bathroom mirror is the
first to see the show of
my new dance steps,
and i allowed it to see and
record the secret of my life.
So shamelessly I displayed
my secret acts in my bedroom,
doing all sorts of stuff,
things my mouth cannot
freely talk about.
In there in the closet
of my beloved bedroom
I committed all sorts of
crimes that even you will
be ashamed to watch if
you know what I mean.
In the privacy of my bedroom
no holes barred.
What do I say about my kitchen.
I became an alchemist
and a herbalist taught,
groomed and approve
by my mother.
On the cauldron as
a herbalist I mixed up
all kinds of herbs and spices
and come up with my alchemical concoction to help entertain
my family and friends and also
to feed and condition my body.
My living room now turned
into a theatre where I became
an actor to everyone who cared
to watch me display my prowess.
All these I do in quietness of
my small enclave where
my bathroom and Kitchen,
the bedroom and living room
witnessed and spy on my follies.
Did I tell you about Palomar the parrot and Kelly the German Shepard.
They can tell you my story if you
asked them.

A HARD PLACE
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
In this water way,
the running man
encountered the
killing season saga.
A very bad and
disturbing difficult
sequel for him.
The Boss baby
created the space
between us.
There is a
ghost in the
shell inside the
castle on the rock.
This rock is
a hard place
to live or find peace,
it's for better or worse.
Traditional war brings
flashes of pain
from the power
they seek
by all means.
Black lightning
in the sky
signified danger
and is very scary,
they must pull
out of the game now
or face the calamity
with serious
consequences.
The three smart fools
were blinded by
their ignorance with
so much complicated
and dangerous ideas
in their forbidden den
inside the castle.
Web of lies coming
out of their mouths,
engulfed them with
corruption and confusion.
Betrayed by their
follies it became a
burden for them.
But they still defiantly
insist with their
own mistakes
and confusion.

IT IS YOURS
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
Believe it or not
the world is truly yours.
It's amazing and
beautiful just like
the clouds in
the firmament
twirling and changing,
bringing you new
tidings rising from
the cosmic and
beyond the universe,
coming down to earth.
Take it and run with it
for it is yours.
It will vitalize you
with so much
vim and vigour.
Though complicated
in it's actions,
the fire within
the afflatus will
purify your heart
and soul and
rekindle the power
of life in your spirit
to arise within you.
All things flows
in your favor,
no restraining or
restrictions whatsoever
except as you
personally allowed.
For as it is above
so it is below.
Everything works out
for your own
good with love.

THE CONFUSIONISTS
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
Confusion within
confusion is very
confusing,
because the whole
problem of the problem
is the problem.
It is very disturbing
to the confused mind.
But don't ask me to
tell you about their
confusion,
because i won't,
I know not and really
don't have the answer.
If you ask me,
who then will I ask,
that's just the problem.
No one seems to know.
Their confusion is really
messing up everything
that matters.
It doesn't make sense to
to continue to confront them
in their confusion because
they will pull you down into
their confused state
and you become more
confuse than the confused.
That's what the controversy
of the confused mind
will do to you.
There's so much complicated
and complex conflicts
in confusion.
When they come,
they start with the ones you love,
the things you do and didn't do,
the things that matters to you,
the people in your life,
even your socioeconomic,
political and spiritual activities
just to distract you,
and mess with your dignity.
Run as fast as your legs
can carry you,
they are PHD-(Pull Him Down)
holders in their crafty arts.
Get away as far as you can
from their clueless notions,
for nothing is left in their brains
and nothing is right their confusion.

BECAUSE OF YOU
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
Because of you,
I can say what's
on my mind,
laugh at myself
and put a smile
on a sad face.
I do the
impossible things
with the
right mind set.
Because of you,
I became better.
Your inspiration
motivates and propels
me beyond the limits.
Because of you
I became a superman
doing all kinds of
amazing and supernatural
tremendously incredible
great things with
giant strides.  
Because of you
i can climb
all the hills
and mountains like
the Spiderman.
Because you are
by my side I
became more than
a conquerer.
Positivity became
my ally and
generates me to
a spiritual high.
Because of you,
I know everything
is working the
way they should.
And for that
my heart is so grateful.

DEAL OR NO DEAL
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
Now you only
see the outside
of the *** and
not what's inside.
Until you open the
*** I guess you'll
never know,
for the aroma you
perceive may be
the problem of
a different scent of
a potpourri and
incense on the table.
After the plate is set,
you may still be
hungry when whatever
is inside the ***
is not so good
and pleasing.
Because of what's
inside the ***
the appetite may vanish.
They said that beggars
have no choice but
that is not true,
because if they don't
have a choice they may
end up eating ****.
When you lose yourself
because you love
chicken soup so much,
you may end up
eating a vulture.
What went down,
is an important
message so amazing
you can't believe it,
it's too good to be true.
We must seek justice
by any means necessary.
Deal or no deal there
will always be a
perfect time to reason
with the unreasonable
and irrational fellow.
And that time is now.

THE PRINCE RETURNED
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
The return of
the prince once
lost in action is a
welcome notion.
His disappearance
and assumed demise
is very disturbing
and confusing to
the whole world.
Even the air ceased,
the winds angry
over the wickedness
of the ones
meant to protect
and to keep
everyone safe.
Once again the
world will hear
his story.
He is now
coming from a
position of strength
to conquer the
enemy like before.
Every time he
sees his loved
one down he
always tries hard
to be there for them.
They trusted him
because he defiantly
stands in the
gap for them.
He is coming
back again
stronger and better,
well equipped and
prepared to confront
any challenges
of the adversaries
than before.

WALK OF SHAME
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
Out of the castle in
a walk of shame.
It will be so
disgraceful to this
house of rabbits
eating all the carrots.
In dubious battle of
the best of the best,
power must change
hands or the rock
will become deserted
and haunted by
the dead rabbits.
This jackal killing the
chicken must be expelled
to give way to the last
Knight to restructure
the house and bring sanity.
There must be extreme
make over to the castle.
The people are eagerly
waiting and looking
forward to it.
Failure cannot be tolerated
or use as an excuse to
forestall the way forward.
Grumpy old man needs
a house arrest to mellow
the son of the mask down.
The enforcers will go round
to pick up the left over
crumbs from the last regime,
so they won't like the yeast
contaminate the new wine.
Freedom from poverty and
hunger will be eliminated,
the people will once again
experience peace and serenity
will return.
God willing unnecessary deaths
will totally be eradicated.

QUIET REBEL
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
My only inheritance,
rekindled an old flame
long dead and forgotten,
scar of an old wound,
still so painful with so
much anguish and agony
with great struggles,
but I left with my
dignity in tact.
Something that
supposedly died
resurrected again,
It ended long ago
but now still alive.
Haunted by the
ghost in the dark,
the vampire pursued,
hungry for blood.
As a quiet and
silent rebel
against the tides
of the world
the heart is guilty of the
things left undone.
Great escape of the
innocent ones done.
Drop dead enacted
and engaged to
overcome the crisis.
The hustle is over,
and the circle
current stopped.
The blood ******* vampire
disappeared into oblivious
abyss and never to come back.
The true change has come
and restructuring is now in place.

YOU ARE MAGICAL

You are a unique
and complex
combination masterpiece
of the miraculous.
You are a magic.
You are indeed magical.
Can never be fathomed,
for you were formed,
made out of something
that already exists and
infused with power and
animated with incredible
tremendous abilities so
beautifully woven with
multiple amazing prowess
to impact your world.
Invincible and compact,
wrapped up with so much
complicated conduit wiring
too difficult to comprehend.
In our unfolding like a rose,
we unwrap a deeper unused
part of ourselves not yet
sufficiently known
or discovered.
In our dual nature,
living in a complex universe
as a spiritual being in a
physical body,
inherited the world now
and the world to come,
a world without end,
because we live forever.
As immortal beings,
you cannot die.
You only exit from this
sphere to another realm.

UNPREDICTABLE
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
The road within
is an amazing one,
so profound and
mysteriously glorious,
filled with unimaginable
love.
Unpredictable and
impressed with the
oil of divine grace and
infinite tremendous
energy so powerful
yet eternally peaceful.
There's something
so beautiful, serene,
and nostalgic about the
heart of a grateful soul.
Gorgeous day spent
discovering the treasures
hidden within the depths
of yourself is worth
more than an eternity
acquiring riches.
Amazingly,
divine love never
defends itself.
Happiness is not
something ready made.
It comes from
your own actions.
Go and make
interesting mistakes,
make amazing mistakes,
make glorious
and fantastic mistakes.
Break rules.
Leave the world more
better for your being here.

SILENCE BECKONS
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
In this cold mountain,
silence beckons.
It is a nightmare,
the final destination
is on the verge of collapse,
the spirit awakens,
for there's fear lurking
in the darkness
Inspite of everything.
Destroyed in seconds
our strength failed,
even our faith,
for strength is born out
of faith and passion.
Trembling and weak at
the knees the heart faints.
Light my eyes so I can see
better and deeper into
the realm beyond.
Rough night is envisaged,
for the hard sun had come
in the morning before.
The animal in us
unleashed to confront
the monster.
We must do the craziest
things to survive this bizarre
maze of a place.
There's a killer beside me,
a killer closer than your breath.
The sword of the spirit and
the power of love is stronger
than your heart.

SAND OF OUR ANCESTRAL LAND

Just looking for
words to describe
how this strange
evidence is made
because I'm baffled
by the way the whole
burden of it has been.
An ultimatum was
given to catch the
monsters that created
the ruse.
You will have enormous
power of life.
Immortality will be yours.
Invincibility accompanies you.
What you have seen is what
lies within and beyond
the veil of death,
but life eternal is in you.
Bring back the chosen
to make our lives right.
Sand of our ancient
ancestral land,
come to our rescue
and free your people from
this *******.
Wind of the spirit divine
engulf our being and
saturate it with your life.
Heaven,release us from this yoke.
Earth,tremble and swallow
them so I can have life over death.
Water,purify and cleanse us.
With this sacrifice you
shall become a god.
Whatever life remains,
you are still a man.

TIPPING POINT
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
Without a paddle,
the right paddle,
will there be a
perfect ride to a score.
The passengers surfers
but surely will survive.
Are you the guardians
of the galaxy or the earth.
How did you now become
the masters of the universe.
This bizarre impression,
this beautiful fantastic
notion with hidden figures
is impossible to fathom.
There are deadly secrets
lurking by the side
waiting to manifest.
Don't tell anyone they say,
but how can you not even
see their hidden presence.
Within you lies the power to
evade the tremendous impact
of their monstrous acts.
The tipping point is here to
turn around everything to
your advantage.
What you lose on the swing
you gain on the roundabout.
Deal or no deal there will
be a total wipe out.
When a snake is about to
swallow another snake,
there is always a battle,
but one has to die in order
for the other to live.

MAN OF UNBEATABLE LUCK
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
He was asked to play
the seventh count of
suicide sudden death game
in the Russian roulette to
save his family dynasty
from being wiped out by
an aristocrat billionaire
in a long age old feud.
No one is allowed to enter
but the strong hearted.
Couldn't you just
see the secret plan
for your demise.
That death sentence
was like getting on a
roller coaster that
had steep drops,
neck breaking curves,
and no restraining bar.
To love your family this
much must be awesome,
worthy of infinite importance.
Willingness to sacrifice
yourself is profound.
With luck on his side,
to survive he must.
This is where deadly surprises
and chance will meet luck.
Determined to live or die,
he defiantly persisted.
This last shot got him out
of the game.
He won and became the man of
unbeatable luck.
His family dynasty secured
and freed from the death feud.
Once again he can walk around
as a freeman.
Yes he survived and
the family survived yet again.
What a great sacrifice.

HELP CLEAN HER UP
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
Naked and afraid,
a street outlaw,
a social *****,
an outcast
and yet still wanted
for a season,
and for a reason,
not a kept woman,
not capable of
loving anyone
wandering and roaming
the back alleys,
in search of immoral
fulfillment.
Lonely and alone,
tired most times,
drunk and abandoned,
overloaded and overdosed
with narcotics just to forget  
and get on with life.
Yet struggles to survive,
always in a mess,
a menace even to herself.
Living a life chosen by few,
dreaded by the faint hearted.
It was not like this before,
how did she get here.
She said it's not her fault,
society created her
out of rejection,
molded her to be a
monster she didn't deserve,
then blame her for being
who she turned out to be.
She lost her true self,
lost her identity and
hides behind her pain.
She cries in the dark where
no one will  see her.
She suffers alone when
caught in the hands of the law.
All she ever wanted
was for you to love her.
I asked why,
why do people step into ****
and expect to come out
covered with roses.
Let's help clean her up,
she wants to survive
for she deserves more.
Give her a better life
a lot better than this.
She is your sister,
maybe your daughter,
a relative or an aunt.
In your sphere of contact,
do whatever you can,
in any way necessary
and humanly possible to help,
each one reach one.

SACRED SAVE HEAVEN
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
One must travel
over the mountains,
the seas and over
the dessert,
beyond the wall,
and beyond every
comfort zone
to discover the
real truth about this
world we are living in.
Hidden inside the
forest and deep within
the ocean are placed the
things needed to sustain us.
Man needs to awaken
from our deep slumber
to discover and cultivate it.
Who will save the
kingdom and the people.
The universe is connecting
everything to suit you.
The world awaits you,
stretch forth your hands.
To awaken within the dream
is our purpose now.
When we are awake
within the dream,
the ego-created earth-drama
comes to an end
and a more benign and wondrous dream arises.
This is the new earth.
Let's possess the earth
and make it a little grandeur,
much better sacred save heaven.

YOU LEFT HEAVEN JUST FOR ME

If you are a star
I would tie you

Because you left
heaven for just a
humble soul like me,
you never followed
a king or the affluent,
not even the rich or
the wealthy have you
given your heart or
perched on any castle
or mansion of the
most powerful
and for that my heart is
forever so grateful
for your love.
I'm so glad you stuck
with me.
You are amazing.
You graced my heart
with so much love
and made it your home,
even with all my follies
and idiosyncrasies.
Now I'm enthroned in this
earthly tabernacle as a king.

KEY OF ENTRANCE WITHIN
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
Every move in time and
each word spoken at any
moment has a purpose.
There is an invisible
bond that unites
everything,
you cannot touch me
without disturbing a star.
As long as you hug and
touch me with love,
you have touched heaven.
So many thoughts,
spoken and unspoken,
even unspeakable words
from the heart has
gone out into the universe,
indelible in it's form,
intriguing and profound,
untapped and captivating
yet eternally impressive.
Come to me with love
and the temple door of my
soul will be open to you.
For the key of entrance
within is only love.
Each one reaches one,
and have it's own unique
master key to open
the impregnable.
With unique combination of
impressive words the mouth
utters what lies within the heart
with such craftiness of an artist,
paint on the canvas of the heart
the words pleasing to the ears,
wove each words with such
impressive combination of others
to mesmerize and warm it's way
to the soul.
The heart unlocked in response
of the magic words uttered is now freed.

UNRESOLVED
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
He stood unrepentant
at the other side
of the fence,
he defiantly
as the boss of
corrupt crimes
overwhelmed
by the burdens
of the moment
and blinded with
so much power,
he forgot to take
precautions.
Running wild with
intoxicating crimes,
so intertwined with
corruption and avarice,
he became lost in
his own flaws,
without knowing it's
always sunny on the
other side of life.
His cold heart cannot
revert to be better
because he chose
to remain in darkness.
Wallowing and groveling
in dirt,
his hands soiled with blood,
he is no longer a saint,
though he's never been anything
but guilty as charged.
I'm so devastated
about the unresolved
gruesome crimes meted
out of vindictive drive,
clueless direction and
to hear the cries of
my beloved people weeping.
I'm so sad at moment
that I can't be there to comfort
them at this time of need,
for the power that be
has chosen to oppress the land.

SO SHALL IT BE
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
Deep within the
depths of our hearts
we are all not strangers
to each other.
Only in this bizarre world
we found out we are
strangers to one another,
yet eternally one.
Draw us to the father
spirit divine to realize
our oneness with each other.
Unite us together
for the glory of God.
Bless and increase your
word in us that we can
find succour in our lives.
Enlighten our mind
and renew us to truly and
completely yield to your spirit.
Cause our heart to respond
and fulfill each others need.
Fill up our loneliness
with your love.
Open the eyes of our
understanding to see better
beyond this realm.
Help us through this
stormy waters of life.
Be the guide to a blissful
lifestyle that we seek
in this down world.
Encourage us spirit divine
to be true to you.
Hold us together as a family.
May this love we share be
a true one that cannot be broken.
Let your kingdom come so your
will be done in us.
So shall it be.

BEAUTIFUL AS IT UNFOLDS
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
At the corner of
the room I see you,
I see your heart
fluttering like a
butterfly looking for
flowers to drink on
the juice of the nectar.
Hungry and dashing
here and there
collecting and competing
with the honey bees.
Both at work on same thing
but different purpose.
With so much love they work,
sensitive and not hurting
the flowers.
Unwittingly triggered pollination,
with love visiting homes and
gardens with their presence.
Gently without complaining,
they both share same flower
without striving to ****
themselves over nothing.
There's enough abundance
distributed all over.
Beautiful as it
unfolds to reveal
the secrets of life in nature
abundantly displayed
in full supply.
Let the heart follow
the one it's attracted to
and fully enjoy every
single moment as
if it's the last.

TRUE TREASURE WITHIN
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
The treasure is found
within our being,
not outside ourselves,
not in the sky,
not even in the
moon and sun or
anywhere in the galaxy,
or beneath the earth,
or in the castle
or any temple,
or any architectural
building of worship
built by man,
however grandeur and sacred,
adorned with gold or silver,
or in any secret place or caves,
but deep within ourselves.
Search within your shore,
to have access
to your humanness.
Dig within your heart,
explore the recess
of your mind,
diligently with love tend
the garden of your spirit.
From within you can
find the gem,
the true treasure,
that unspeakable elixir of life,
the center that balances you.
The light that shines
in your darkness
Only you can find it
in the long and lonely walk.
But at the end of the tunnel
of your darkness will
emerge the greater light.

The treasure is found
amongst the dirt.
Woven around the diamond,
hidden within the mud.
The firmament and the clouds,
the sun and the moon,
the galaxy and the stars,
they witnessed the moment
as it unfolds to reveal the secrets
of the twilight.
Redeemed and justified,
glorified and ready,
accepted and beautified,
gracefully graceful,
cleansed and set to shine.
Exulted and transformed.
Prepared to rule and reign.
That is what and who you are.
You are still saying just that
same old same old thing.
It is what it is.

BE THANKFUL
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
Things unspeakable,
like a river meandering,
surge in my soul,
calls out to me,
inspires my mind with
intriguing force.
Afflatus of the cosmic  
impressed with love
enough to be true
caressed my whole

And now I possessed

All these are possible
because of grace.
More grace has
been given to excel.
Be thankful and receive it.
Rejoice and be grateful for

I'M PERPLEXED.
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
There are so many
thoughts and things
that baffles my mind,
with so much influx of
head spinning unsolved
questions with no answers
that perplexes me.
Now i know that i am fully
persuaded and convinced
that i know nothing
about anything.
But i am learning.
Most of the times
I know without
understanding it,
and sometimes i
understand without
knowing it and
oftentimes i just don't
get it at all.
To comprehend it all
is difficult for me,
because my
understanding is not yet
sufficient to absorb it.
I must study and
keep learning
until my inside knows.
For sure it is not the
old that are wise or
the aged that understands
what is right nor having
grey hair that bring wisdom,
no it is not at all,
but it is the spirit in a man,
the breath of the Almighty
that makes him understand.

IMPRESSIVELY INVINCIBLE
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
The road within is
deep and a risky one
yet safe to explore,
interesting and motivating,
intriguing and captivating,
yet impressively
invincible as if one is
viewing the oblivious abyss.
There are unsolved issues
that the mind cannot seem
to fathom even though it is
within the obvious.
To comprehend what is
inside the mind you must
be still and alert within.
The road within is deep and
mysterious and uncharted.
It is a road less travelled.
Only very few can access
the depth of this voluminous
profound untapped thoughts
hidden within our minds.
Hence the adage,
Be still and know I am God within.
Sharpen your intellect to discern
what lies within the depths
of the mind.
The subconscious mind wraps
up our consciousness and link it
to the cosmic for the eternal
realities to manifest subtly
and unfold itself to receive the
fairest impression from the universe.

THE HEART IN LOVE
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
And nothing is greater,
stronger or above and
beyond the heart in love,
for love is greater than
your heart and cannot be
condemned even if you err,
for love forgives a
multitudes of errors.
Divine love is established
in the soul of man when
God resides and abides
in the castle of the heart.
May this love divine possess
your heart,
let this love take over your being,
may you be given the power of
will to accept and show it.
Love can be so powerful
and yet be so forgiven.
With love enough,
errors melts before
condemnation.
You will become like an egg
in the eyes of the gods,
cherished and protected,
nurtured and replenished.
The heart that can't forgive
is a sick one and cannot heal.
An unforgiving heart is rotten
to the core.
The beauty of the heart is
deep and mysteriously
wrapped up with love,
as a gift to mankind.
Whosoever love finds worthy
is free and such heart is
supreme and surrounded by
numerous companies of Angels.

THE OIL OF LOVE
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
Would you please run
your fingers through
the heart to feel the soul,
then gently pour your love
into the crack you found,
to seal it with your love,
so the brokenness will heal,
that would have been enough.
Massage and nurture the hurts
with the oil of love.
With your breathe exhale with
so much love into it to give
strength and hope to live.
Awaken the heart not to faint,
for you are the one to seek in
this bizarre world.
There is so much mess in the world,
our unstable ways makes the
heart to flutter in confusion.
Look beyond this frail body,
to see the soul hidden within this
cocoon trying to transmogrify
into an exulted being.
Your love will cream and sooth this wrinkled face back to youthfulness,
to be young at heart is beautiful.
This life is already done,
for the beyond calls out to you.
Let this love take you home so
you can find peace.
You are the oil of love that heals
and loosen the hardness of
this heart in pain.
Everything will be alright with you around.

SHOW ME
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2018
We are all strangers
here and must band
together for survival
in this bizarre maze
of a place where
deadly surprises lurk
around every corner.
Surveillance is mounted
to track everyone who
tried to escape
from the pack.
All these seeds of
discord and attacks
against each other
and people of other
faith is very disturbing.
It is really very
discouraging to know
that you have nothing
tangible to offer me
in particular about your
beliefs so I can
believe in your notions.
Your approach shows me
there's nothing in it
but hatred,
my heart and soul has
no place to harbor
or condone hatred.
Show me the beauty of
your heart so I can be
attracted to its light.
A happy soul has a good
and beautiful heart devoid
of anything evil.
Pure in itself with divine
effulgence that touch and
change lives with love.

NOTHING IS EVER REALLY DEAD

I have never been
anything this way
but happy.
How can I ever find
you to explain how
you make me feel.
I know I am going to
be happy with you
again in my heart
because my life will be
better and so beautiful
with you in it. .
For the glory you
exude has been
wonderful.
I guess it's all good,
for knowing you is
amazingly beautiful
and divinely awesome.
To have known you is
a little slice of heaven.
What we shared can
never be dead,
because nothing is ever
really dead if you look at it.
It can be rekindled again
if we just try hard enough.
Trust me it can be beautiful again.

Because you dwell

Your name is on every lip,

who know you.
Those who loves you rejoice,
the ones who don't must bow.
Nothing can be done without you.
Your reign is supreme,
and you are superior to
every other god.
In you I find my being.

RUBICON BRIDGE
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2018
Be careful of what
you enjoy,
also be careful of that
which you seek,
or you may find hell,
because sometimes
the good kills.

In some things
that are good,
there is some
sort of evil.
In some things
that are evil,
there are some
sort of goodness.

Good and evil
working side
by side and in
synergy bring
to us a desired end
and to a place of
destiny to manifest
as either good or bad.

Sometimes you just
have to be brave and
take the risk to cross
the rubicon bridge.
You can't be brave if
you don't have courage.
And so it is in all things
and in everything that we do.

Even the wise are confused at your simplicity.
With grateful heart we celebrate you.

NEW WAYS
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2018
The internet and the
electronic gadgets are
now creating the new wave
of infidelity,
did you notice the anomalies in
the way things are turning out.
Hookups made easy,
knowing me knowing
you friendships,
easy dating and cheating.com,
wives and husband cheating on themselves,
Social media is the only
best place to live your
fake dream full of lies like the
deepfakes movies.
No more true friendship,
nothing real but a pretense
paradise.
Always uncomfortable but rather
deal with another from a distance.
You don't exist even when together
in same room.
Always closer to the stars
than to you.
You are ignored but chat with
someone so far away.
You seem to be happier
talking to someone you
never met and hardly know,
telling all your private secrets
to an unknown person claiming
to be a true close friend while
the one you grew up with now
becomes a friendenemy,
never to be trusted.
Electronic friendship
has killed our generation,
destroyed the foundation
of true relationship.
Fake lifestyle,
flaunting fake wealth,
gossiping about fake
not-so-sure news.
Infidelity has become
the new social norm
accessible and accepted
around the world.
No true commitment,
so much fraud and
drama displayed.
The young men and
women are going berserk,
their uncontrollable pesky ways
leading them in all manner of immorality and all kinds of trouble.
But there's still some sort of
good in it.
Is this a part of a new world order?
Maybe, I don't know.  
©2018,Emeka Mokeme. All Rights Reserved.
There are many more good things that comes from all these social media and thanks to the new technologies we can now read all your poetry and answer you. Just for that, it's worth it. Also thanks to them, we talk to the world, we can travel with images and read everything it takes to know more, the best music and the best of all our concerns are at hand,but here I am looking and talking about their abuse, you have to learn to select.

ALIENS WERE HERE
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2018
Tonight I saw the aliens
in their two spaceships,
flying so low across the
football field monitoring
the humans while they
play soccer.
I was also in the field
playing for my team.
They were transmitting
information gathered,
I could hear them talking
about what transpired at
the soccer field.
Their spacecraft move so
fast with shrilling jet noise,
maneuvering and turning
under the trees and rooftops
with perfect ease sliding
between the two walls of
the buildings.
People ran helter skelter.
But they persisted with their
spying on the individuals
they were interested to pick up.
At a twinkle of an eye as if they
have seen something,
made their landing so close
to the building and came out
of their craft beckoning on
me in particular.
Calling up only two persons
by name of which I was among,
asking if I will step into
the spaceship,
I didn't hesitate but said yes,
they stepped aside for me,
as I moved towards their craft
to gain entrance I woke up.
It was only a dream
but was it actually a dream,
I really don't know.

Never mind,
I'm not going anywhere

Waiting for this long
is worth it.
How can I get to the
place of destiny when
you are still not in the
right place.
Life will always play out
for you the configuration
of the handouts and settings
you put into your life account
in such a way that you are
now the in thing.
Serenity and peace of mind
awaits you.
Rejoice now that you have
a chance to redeem yourself
and be whatever you want.
Make sure you don't have to
wait for too long for everything
to settle down.
Don't wait until the next time,
there may never be any next time.
Take this moment and run with it.
This moment is all you got.
Your faith is all you have.
Certainly everything will come
to you at their appropriate time.
Do everything you can to
make it a grandeur,
it will be your grandest turning point.

HELP THEM TO SURVIVE
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2018
I just wonder who
is to blame for this
unfortunate difficult
stormy problems all
around us.
The situations have not
changed at all.
Those who are affected
cannot afford the high
cost of living in the country.
They are at the mercy of the
handouts given to them.
With tears in their eyes
they beg for alms daily,
they ask for help so they
can survive for another day.
The risk of staying back is
suicidal because of too much
bombardment and gunshots
and killings of the indigenes.
Women and children are not
left out.
They are the most vulnerable,
they are sick and tired,
confused and hungry,
hopeless and helpless,
with no rescue in sight for now.
Abandoned as if they are of
no use anymore.
They feel expendable and disposable.
No one seems to remember them.
They are now like the forgotten
earthen ***,
Worn out and of no use.
Remember that someday you may
end up like them.
What happened to them can happen
to anyone including you.
Offer and render whatever help that
you can to alleviate their situation.

YOU ARE FORTUNATE
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2018
Whatever you are going
through is too small and
insignificant compared to
what is happening to someone
else somewhere in the world.
Always know that you are
fortunate and privileged to
have what you have right now.
You are guilty of a crime when
you use what you have to
suppress others of less privilege.
From the annoyances towards you,
learn to be patient and calm.
When abandoned,
learn how to stand up on
your own feet.
When offended by the words
of others,
learn forgiveness and compassion.
When overwhelmed and powerless,
learn to get greater power.
When attacked by hatred,
learn to love unconditionally.
When fear visit you,
learn courage to overcome your fears.
At the things you can't control,
learn to let go and walk away.
Anytime you get a no,
learn to be independent.
When overwhelmed by problems,
learn to get solutions to it.
When opposition attacks you,
learn a form of self defense.
Whenever you are belittled
and look down on,
learn to look up to God.
Each time you feel lifeless
and empty,
learn to hold on to God.
In all circumstances and situations
and every phase of life,
learn the hidden lessons in it.
In whatever way you feel cheated
or life seems unfair to you,
learn how to deal with it.
You are an over comer.

Emeka Mokeme Sep 2018
You are full of it
when what you plan
to do did not include
other people's interest.
Are you playing with
yourself all alone,
when all you needed
was just lovely friends
who will gladden your
world with their lives.
These loving friends are
actually the flowers in
the garden of our lives,
they decorate our lives
with beauty and adorn it
with fragrance of their
loving smiles,
bringing to us that free gifts
of love and friendship.
Their presence is more than
a balm of Gilead.
A true friend is like a rose
and a beautiful flower in
the vase of our lives worthy
to be nurtured and watered daily.
We need each others touch to
survive and thrive.
Love is about inclusion,
doing and acting out our lives,
and letting others into our world.
Even though some might be a
pain in the ***,
still you can't do without them,
they make up the textures
of our lives.
We need all of them both the
positive and the negative,
they help bring us to a better place.
Unwittingly helping in an
uncanny way to learn about
love and forgiveness,
accommodating and acceptance,
patience and endurance,
Wellness and healing.
They bring pleasure and delight into our world.
How I wish we could be good loving friends.
