So much bitterness
in the heart of man
makes me wonder
if there is hope at all
for reconciliation
or to remedy
this bad situation
and challenges
trying to consume the masses.
I still wonder
if this looming menace
can be contained and diverted
or replaced by something
more meaningful.
This is a time for
sober reflection.
What do we really
gain in all of these?
Isn't there a better way,
there must be.
Now that their mind is made up,
have you thought about
the next step to take?
You need to make a
move to relocate now.
I've always told you
to be careful of what you seek
or you'll find hell.
Now you are at a crossroad.
What are you gonna do,
you tell me.

The kind of world
we are living in is
really intriguing.
There is so much
to learn within a short
time of our existence.
The term of life is so brief
and it passes so fast before
our eyes and sometimes too
slow that not enough time is
left to do much.
Even a pellet dropped into
a bottle once a year to the
count of hundred to represent
a century of our lives on earth
still cannot fill a bottle,
so is our lives with so little time
to correct and straighten our lives.
Today is the beginning of
another era given to
remedy our lives.
Begin now to reconsider your life
and do away with anything
that can no longer serve you
or useful to you.
This life is fast passing by like the
clouds in the firmament.
Be focused and determined,
concentrate on your goals.
Enjoy the things that you do,
don't complain but be the solution
and the answer to that problem.
Be the best on your chosen field.
Start to do great things with giant strides.

Greatness comes from the
positioning of oneself for
advantage from the
source of bounty.
It is beyond the ordinary.
Opportunities occur in our lives
and daily affairs for us to do
what we need to do to reclaim
the situation to solve our problems.
Our lives issues keep flaunting
themselves in the portal of
our personal world.
Personal repositioning is needful to
overcome and win in this down world.
People are positioned in our lives to help us overcome our challenges and leave when their work is achieved,
others will come to stay with genuine true trusted friendship,
will still be there for a lifetime guidance.
Recognition is needed for their help to manifest.
Though time and chance affects
the change.
We must take the advantage offered,
or something sinister will persist
with horrible influence so powerful that chances of winning will be so farfetched.
Take heed of the divine timing
for there is nothing like coincidence,
it is all configured for our advantage,
working in synergy to bring
desired response.

You play with me with
your words and my heart
raced in joy.
Your sweet melodious
song caress my heart
and makes me dream.
I am so thrilled when you
touch me,
as if with magic fingers.
I want more and more of you
as I never want it to stop.
Your whispers in my ears
are so out of this world,
I am carried away by the
sweet little noises you make
as we entangle  and
explore each other on the porch.
A little kiss,
a little hug and
a little soft whispers in my ear
makes me want to smile
and cry and laugh and never
want to let you go.
This is heaven to me.
A love so pure,
so beautiful and divine,
filled with unimaginable tenderness.
Such love will keep and hallow me.
Forever your ***** is my home.

I have climbed
down the rotten
ladder of confusion
and dismay.
And I've been
raised up also
to the highest
pinnacle and corridor
of power.
I've enjoyed
accolades and the
awards of honors.
My heart have
loved someone before
and lost because
i couldn't win
her beautiful heart.
I have also
been loved by
a tender heart.
I've known peace
and enjoyed serenity,
I've also been
horrendously tormented.
I have seen
beautiful and
unspeakable things
that will leave
you speechless.
I have survived
death by war
and by ill health,
by the hands
of people and
by accidents,
all left their
scars as witnesses
to tell their tales.
The lion man
is very good
at showing his
charm to subdue
and intimidate everyone
else into surrendering.
Power is taken
by force and
the forceful takes
it by force.
A gentleman never
had anything given
to him unless
grace is operational
in his life.
You may be
wise but poor,
know that no
matter how loud
your voice may sound,
no one may
ever hear you.
But in all
of these countless
years of experience,
the Almighty has
been very good
and kind to me.
And now
my mouth and
my heart is
forever so grateful.

Today I just laughed at
myself for not noticing
the calamity about to
happen that day.
How could I not see
the poison hidden within
those fragrance of the flowers.
It is so funny how the thing
you wanted could destroy you.
The only thing I could do at this
point of discovery and awakening
is just to laugh.
But so grateful I stopped
myself on time and avoided the
sting from the thorns
of those deadly flowers.
How could I not see it.
I smell the flowers.
but deaf and dumb to its poison.
I will never forget this day,
it will burn into my bones.
Today is awesome,
filled with bliss and gratitude towards life.

Distance is not something
to be afraid of when you
are loved so much.
It actually makes
the heart grow fonder.
Thoughts of one in love
reaches out fondly to the other.
It's really beautiful to
share something so rare.
Seems like you are in the
twilight zone.
Your thoughts about the
next day is so hilarious,
so funny that you can't wait
for the dawn to come.
It's so good to be loved like this.
My heart beats for you,
can you hear it my love.
I'm waiting for your return.
This long absence has become
more difficult than I thought.
I know you can hear me,
for my heart speaks louder
than words.
Even though I am strong I still
need you to complete me
my beloved.
Listen to your heart
and you will know.
Deep calling the deep
and heart to heart.
The river flowing to
the ocean gives itself
willingly for it hears
the call of the deep.
The mouth that opens
when it yawns must
collects dust from the air,
even so the heart that yearns
for love must experience
the pains of sleeplessness.
Only when the morning
comes shall all things
be resolved,restored
and renewed,
for the beauty of the
divine rest within the heart of man.

In my silence
i heard the
murmur and the
heart beats of
your heart like
the ocean waves
whispering subtly
so softly in
the ears of
my heart the
words of love
that abounds
in your heart.
I waited patiently
to hear all
the tales your
soul can reveal.
I know the
loneliness you
feel within
when the love
is not reciprocated
and the heart
refused to
be comforted.
But worry not
about it,
the stream,
even the waterfalls
will always find
it's own path
to the sea.
You know not
that the ocean
calls out to
it's own,
all the waters
will find their
way back home
to it's source.
In your silent
walk to find
love,
that which you
seek is also
looking for you.

The morons have no heart,
they are heartless.
In the left side of their brain,
nothing is right,
in the right side of their brain,
nothing is left.
That's why they use their
stony heart to break heads
as Palm kernel nuts.
Oozing out of their mouths
are crafty cunning words.
A perverted truth.
With humiliation as their brush,
they painted and
disgraced our youths publicly,
the very backbone of their
ascendency to glory and power,
the very ones who sleeplessly
and tirelessly sweated day and night,
to make sure of their tomorrow,
the only heirs to our future.
You dashed their hope in the mud.
You paid them with your spit on their faces.
How can we not see it.
With illusion of magic
they confuse the minds
of gullible people.
Their lies stinks.
I weep for those who believe them.

Like I have just stepped out
of a cocoon hidden in an
ancient ageless cave.
Freshness of the atmosphere,
so amazingly beautiful and divine
greets me as if am jolted back
out of a long absence into the
present moment.
Everything seems anew
as I looked at the firmament
after a long slumber.
I can hear my pounding heart
as if it's just starting for the first time.
But this serenity I feel around me
eludes many.
Amidst the turmoil and noise,
the devastation and hunger,
the hopelessness I see in the
eyes of the young ones,
dashed dreams amongst the elderly,
disappointments amongst the youth,
depression within the heart of our women,
discrimination among different ethnic tribes,
separatism of the rich from the poor,
the greediness within secular bodies,
control and robbery in religious circle, lasciviousness and whoredom
amongst women already taken is heartbreaking,
increase of ****** in our society,
families torn apart,
the presence of ethnic cleansing
from these strange ones is disturbing.
My heart at the moment seems unperturbed,
but withdrawn from all these unnecessary harrowing growing pains.
I have seen deaths of the innocent ones
which society seem to reject.
I have watched bigotry unleashed
and put in place by the trusted people.
Unwittingly there's anarchy within.
I watched as a spectator looking at the tumultuous ebbs of the ocean tides,
the breakdown of law and
order amongst the people.
But my heart is at peace with myself
and the world for I know that judgement is near.

The green smoke
lamp shines on
very well and
so brightly,
bringing the images
of the trees
cast on the
floor so near,
and hiding the
pathway to the gate
from the strangers.
The rain on
the green leafs
makes it even
more intense and
intriguing to access.
It doesn't take
forever to ever
nurture loves dream.
It's roaming and
turning without
ceasing.
Spinning so fast,
making it impossible
to catch your breath.
Dispersed and,
disappeared,
lost out on
the dream bed.
Forgotten,
not remembered
anymore,
not even remotely.
The sheds
of green leaves
are definitely
not the same.
But facing the
face of the
green sea
from the hill
where the green
dragon lives,
fronts the hidden
gateway of
the new frontier
to the unknown,
like a person's
heart pulsates
with infinite love
remotely controlled.

IN SILENT PRETENCE
Between words,
that stifilled my being,
oceans of my emotions
stole the pieces  
of my soul.  
Feeling the feelings  
for healing is  
the attitude for my being.  
Silent echoes says  
love is the sea of no end.
To carry the words
i heard on my back,
is like the lizard  
that lives in a house  
but it doesn't mean  
it's the owner of the house.
Even as the snail drags
its shell along,
even so the tortoise
walks around with its shell.
As the snake sheds  
its scale in due season,
even so the heart
vehemently rejects and
expunge  every pressure
of words messing with it.  
Even as the chameleons
changes its colour
to suit itself,
so the unstable mind
changes because it is fickle.
Though in silent pretence
the heart remembers,
but like the elephant
it never forgets the hurts
only the heart can feel.
Like that child who  
in a hurry cuts  
the underground yam  
while standing,
must sit down patiently  
to uproot it.

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.

Your tomorrow comes today now,
you created today yesterday,
you create your tomorrow today,
it's interestingly always in circles,
ever coming,
you can be in it now,
And if you can see it in your mind,
it's yours,
because you own the world.
If you make yourself
available and useful,
if you become relevant,
and sow into it,
you'll reap plenty.
Tomorrow does not give
anything to anyone who
doesn't contribute to it,
it will unwittingly
abandons the ones
who are not useful.
The ones who so
sorely complains didn't
know they have been bypassed,
they can't see their tomorrow
because they are no
longer contributors,
they are dropped and thrown out.
They are no longer relevant
until they upgrade themselves.
they so became bitter
without knowing that they
can return to greatness if only they can
work on themselves to
reclaim their groove back.
They can then come
from that position of
strength to win in their tomorrow.

I would like to pass by your life,
as a beautiful flower that
hung in your life's garden,
And leave a fragrance
that will last you forever.
My leaves may wither,
My flowers may drop,
But never mind,
My seeds will sprout again
to soothe your life,
Heal your wounds,
and broken heart,
with my presence and fragrance.
I would that you understand
and nurture me,
Water me,
Dress me as you would
dress a beautiful garden,
For maybe this,
or another season,
you may or may
not perceive my fragrance,
but I will always return to
heal you of your infirmities.
I only ask that you care
a little bit more like I did.

Victory is accorded to
such matters as the
blending together of
the day and night,
the light and darkness
confronting each other,
fighting for balance.
Morning wins over the night,
even as the night wants
to conquer the daylight,
so even a flicker of light
drives away the darkness
wheresoever they meet.
One must bow down to the other,
yielding to the others invitation,
without struggle,
both seeking for dominance,
but unwittingly ending up
balancing each other.
As darkness is not adapted
to sustain the splendour
of the glittering light of the sun,
but suddenly becomes totally
invisible,
entirely receded and
immediately vanishes,
thus also when the power
of God which fills all
things with good,
abundantly shines forth,
no place is left for the
tumult of evil.

What lies within us
mystified the senses,
intriguing and
captivates our minds.
It's like magic to our soul
for the road within is deep
and mysterious.
Through meditation we tap
into the divine source
where all truths are revealed.
Everything we want to know or
discover is already in the room.
The cloud is full of information
waiting to be taken
if we can only listen.
We can tune in and tap
into this wavelength and
receive cosmic wisdom,
the knowledge unknown and
unheard of before.
The mind of man can be
linked to the extraterrestrial
if properly exercised
to receive a cosmic code
which can be interpreted
for the use and benefit of mankind.
This cosmic print can be the new
key to lead humanity into the future
which can lead man to his
final destination.
The eternal wisdom hidden
within the akashic records where
all the thought form of the divine is
recorded and is made available for
man to develop his world in a
particular unique way.

The true identity
of the innerself
is a mystery
and a wonder.
Hidden within and
coupled in synergy
to merge simultaneously
with the body
as one entity.
Earth my body.
Water my blood.
Air my breath.
Fire my Spirit.
You look with
your optical eyes,
but only see
with your mind.
Your eyes don't see.
Your soul sees
with your eyes.
Your ears don't hear.
Your soul hears
with your ears.
Your body is
not you.
It is the
bridge that connects
the real you
to the outside world.
Your body don't
have a voice,
the voice of
the spirit is
amplified through
your vocal cord
so you can hear it.
Only the heart
knows what is
in the mind
of the spirit.
You don't have
a language,
the dialect you
speak now is
only learned to
help you communicate
while you are
still here.
It is very different
from the dialect
of the spirit.
I am the
true lone wolf,
howling at the moon,
a moon which
I know I'll
never reach,
or get to have.
The greatest souls
are awakened out
of suffering and
the most impressive
personalities
endures many scars.

Looking out from my earthly tabernacle,
still perplexed from the depth
of my heart as to how much
we are loved by the almighty
even at our unbelievable folly
amazes me.
Allowed in his presence as
we are is amazing.
Not worthy of recognition,
by reason of sin,
yet he is mindful of man.
Among his creation,
man is the only one so confused that
they have no idea of their constitution
or who they are,
even as it is so glaring,
they still have no idea
but lived as barbebrian,
the cave men of old.
They take pride in killing as if they
were competing amongst themselves.
Nations against nations of which some have been wiped out and now no longer exists.
Building strategies to annihilate one another
with weapons of mass destruction,
shooting fellow humans in cold blood,
with such impunity and cold-hearted
without mercy and with cruelty in a
such brutal way as if nothing matters,
yet didn't achieve anything worthy of
such a senseless killing at the end.
They take pride in shading blood
and award themselves accolades
and different ranks with high sounding names.
They claimed of being more advanced yet far from it,
Not knowing that tolerance and temperance, forgiveness and love is advancement.
There is no grammar or language on this planet
or beyond the earth that can convince me that
they are not mentally deranged,
a psychopathic cold methodical machine without a heart,
a soulless one without bowels of mercies.
How can they not know that you are an embodiment of the one who made you.
You are love for the one who mold you is love.

Since I have become an
unnecessary annoyance to you,
Why are you still hanging
around me.
Why are you so desperate
to attach yourself to me?
Why not simply allow me to go?
Everything you said about me is true,
Yes you are correct,
Yes you are right.
I am a nonconformist.
Let me go my own way.
We are not seeing eye to eye.
We are not meant to be together.
You will wake up tomorrow and thank me for leaving.
A leopard can never change its skin
The ocean can never flow backwards.
The sun must always rise from the east.
When a man can no longer breath,
he dies.
This arrangement of forceful cohabitation can no longer work.
This integration is choking me.
This amalgamation is suffocating.
You know it's not working .
I am the lion from the Ibo tribe.
I am the king of the African forest.
I am the whirlwind,
I am the storm,
I am the rain,
I fall where ever I chose.
Grace is upon me.
The breath of the Almighty propels me.
My intent to survive is genuine.
I have already proven it to you.
Don't force yourself on me.
Don't  intimidate me,
I am not such a one.
I will fearlessly
and vehemently oppose you.
You forced me into a corner
as if I am a social *****.
I cannot function like that.
I am a free spirit.
I must soar.
Let me be.

The Holy Spirit dwells in you,
so you are adequately cared for,
to the glory of God.
You wax stronger by the day
and manifest the glory of God,
even in your body
and everywhere you go.
His strength he provides
when you are weak.
All your struggles he understands
and helps you get through it.
Your pain and hurts he took away.
He ever stands in the portal
of your heart in guard.
He neither sleeps nor slumber.
His love within amazes me,
it is so comforting.
The ancient one who has no
beginning or end reigns
in the castle of your heart.
Honor him for he is the king.
He is ever present, ever ready.
His comfort reassures.
Your struggles are over because
of his presence.
His love is all you need to be healed.
My heart is so grateful for this glorious treasure hidden within me.
I will always carry his presence
to affect my world.

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.

I was once
a bamboo tree,
bending over for
everyone to climb,
dancing in the
wind by the
moonlight.
Listening to the
flute and the
songs of the birds.
I am the
feed of the
animals,
I took in
their farts smelling
all around me.
Now am taller
and stronger.
I was once
a young iroko tree,
standing tall with
dignity and pride.
I am matured,
and become like an
umbrella for shade.
My presence alludes
strength.
But now i am
the sacred dwarf iroko,
the mysterious
anunuebe tree of
which no one
or any living thing
is allowed to
come near or
approach or fly over
without serious
consequences.
No one can
climb me,
it is not allowed.
The once loved
is now the abhorred,
revered and respected.
I'm no longer
bending over
for anyone and
will not allow
anyone to climb
all over me.
You must approach
with respect to
be allowed entrance.
This is my
natural stance.

I welcomed you
yesterday as you
lay besides me
as my covering.
My heart this morning
sings along side
the morning birds,
songs of love
to wake you up.
As you shine
beautiful soul,
my heart is glad.
Smile for me
as the morning sun.
Because of you
the world smiles
back at me.
Here is a
good thing,
the future is bright.
Hope and your ideal
makes the difference.
Wait for tomorrow,
your sun want
to see your
beautiful face.
As I turned
to look back,
only to find out
that today is
yesterday's tomorrow.

It had to
be you I'm sure.
But i dare you
to leave,
for the love in
your heart won't
let you go away.
But once I love you,
would you stay
forever.
This love and
what I feel
is not a
casual encounter.
I am a
prisoner of love.
It's definitely divine
and deeper than
you think or
imagined.
For the fire
of love is
burning within
your heart
to sift you.
In your lost,
you found yourself.
I want to
disappear too and
be found with you,
for you conquered
your loss.
For the rainfall
must finally find
it's way to the
sea at last.
You are a sigh of
relief gone forth
to ease my
heart of the
pleasure of the
pressure of finding you.

I have a life of power
and incessant activity,
taciturn dispositions,
good morals,
pure even to austerity.
The imagination,
of a rich,
creative character,
I'm in love also with
the fantastic,
with a great aptitude
for assimilation.
Born on a friday,
the twentieth day
of the seventh month
of the calendar year,
of nineteen hundred and fifty-six,
the year of the monkey,
an erratic genius,
of the fourth sign of the zodiac.
My changing mood
are due to excessive
impressionability
and sensitiveness from
the moon who has its
throne at my birth constellation.
Vicissitudes and worries
of mine are many,
some are of mysterious nature,
but at the hour of my
most desperate crisis,
unexpected assistance always
come up providentially.
I am mysteriously secured,
and so grateful for this glorious
life I'm called to live.

when you
are transformed
from within.
Things have come
to a full circle.
The end has
become the beginning
beyond the limits.
You need a ride,
a quantum leap
to transmogrify you
into a superman
beyond the ordinary
and the dream
so you can
definitely at last
finally fly.

Ancient of Days.
You who dwell within the Throne
Enshrouded within the clouds.
Through the sun you behold
and look down on earth,
Your eyes covers the whole world.
The sun is your essence.
Your glory radiates your universe.
Through it you give
life to all that exists.
Multitude of stars
shows your glory.
The ocean and seas
rejoice at your voice.
The heavens waters our forests.
You are the breath within breath.
All created things resonates to you.
My heart today
and always pants for you.
I bow down
and prostrate before your throne.
Jehovah;
that is who you are.
I am forever grateful.
Thank You Lord.

Since I have become an
unnecessary annoyance to you,
Why are you still hanging
around me.
Why are you so desperate
to attach yourself to me?
Why not simply allow me to go?
Everything you said about me is true,
Yes you are correct,
Yes you are right.
I am a nonconformist.
Let me go my own way.
We are not seeing eye to eye.
We are not meant to be together.
Believe me you will wake up tomorrow
and thank me for leaving.
A leopard can never change its skin.
The ocean can never flow backwards.
The sun must always rise from the east.
When a man can no longer breath,
he expires and die.
This arrangement of forceful
cohabitation is no longer working.  
This integration is choking me.
This amalgamation is suffocating.
You know it's not working .
It didn't work out then
and it's not working out now,
Or will it ever work out.
I am the lion from the Ibo tribe.
I am the king of the African forest.
I am the whirlwind,
I am the storm,
I am the rain,
I fall where ever I chose.
Grace is upon me.
The breath of the Almighty propels me.
My intent to survive is genuine.
I have already prove it to you.
Don't force yourself on me.
Don't  intimidate me,
I am not such a one.
I will fearlessly
and vehemently oppose you.
You forced me into a corner
as if I am a social *****.
I cannot function like that.
I am a free spirit.
I must soar.
Let me be.

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.

How can I
shelter myself
from the madness
of this world.
I live really
quietly here
in this place.
No noise
but calmness from
the silence and
stillness of the forest.
I am happy.
Here I have
everything I need.
There are
abundance of
various fruits,
herbs to take
care of my health,
water unpolluted.
It's time to
spend time
with myself,
enjoy the serenity
of the spirit,
give myself time
to relax and feel
the subtle energy
of love within
and all around me.
Never really bother
about anything,
and allow my
consciousness to attune
to my spirit
when it's ready.
Take a long
walk alone at
beach and around
nature.
Just enjoy the
calmness of the moment.
But inwardly listen
with effortless effort
to the rhythm
and heart beat
of the ecosystem,
the forest and
the circles in nature.

Real love is
always constant,
Even when
you don't know,
It's always there,
even when we are hurt
or confused,
It's always there,
even when our hearts refuse
to accept it
or don't feel it
because of some reasons,
It's always there.
Open your heart
and don't be afraid,
Perfect love casts out fear.

You don't know
me that much.
Does it matter,
no,I don't think so.
You don't know
me much at all,
so don't ever pretend
that you know.
You can't judge me,
because you really
can't tell about my life.
Don't waste your words
on another for you
barely really don't know.
One day you'll wake up
to find out that
you have been fooled.
Take a bite of what
you can chew and
then let the rest go,
otherwise you may
choke on your own saliva.
Don't be disappointed
for not knowing me
well as you thought,
you don't even know
yourself that much.
Sometimes you surprise
yourself by the hidden
thoughts only your
heart knows.
What do you do
at that moment when
you catch yourself
on thoughts unbecoming
of you.
Thoughts that are not
worthy of you about
your family,
your siblings,
your parents,
your friends and loved ones.
Those hidden horrible
exclusively secret thoughts
in your heart no one
knows but you.
You see now,
you don't have the
courage to own up
and be sincere about it
You don't have any
excuses but to repent now.
You are committing
a crime against yourself.
Free yourself from
this evil wrecking your life
and damaging your psych,
and destroying your persona.
Set yourself free,
instead of living in *******.

With all this
love alive in me,
this love that
blossom and
bubbling within
my heart.
Is it really
what it is,
is it really love.
How can I
feel all this
and not met
or seen anyone
as crazy as me
to share it with,
or isn't someone
out here also
looking and wondering.
Is love dead
or just elusive.
Why is it
so painful.
Is it me
that's the fool
or am i
from a different
sphere and planet.
How can you
not find it
or feel it
in your soul.
Am I really
walking in the dark.
I cry in the
rain and the
darkness so you
must not see me.
The dark consume me
for I am so lost.
Is this love
thing real or
am i living an illusion.
Who can ever
save this lost
soul from the
wilderness.
Right now i
really need proof
for my heart hurts.
Come and save
this soul from
this illusion.
It *****.

As we watch
the world change
before our very
eyes without
knowing and
understanding
what is really
going on.
In slow motion
like a movie,
it takes all of us
by surprise.
Slowly like the
anaconda creped
in for the ****.
Everyone seems
blind to see the
Thucydides trap.
We blink to it's  
brightness as it
shines before us.
The rising Nachi and
the dominant Ricaame,
now towards a
violent collision
no one wants.
The sun shines
so brightly and
the new world
order in place,
perfectly penetrating
into the socioeconomic
system of the world
with excellent smoothness.
We can summon
the common sense
and courage to avoid it.
Understanding power play
gives us the
reasons we as
citizens of the world
should understand and
challenge the power that be.

That day you were
silently crying,
when I walked in,
i know you were hurting.
I saw your tears
streaming down your face.
I don't want to be
the cause of your pain.
What happened was
not deliberate.
Your heart is too tender
for such a hassle.
But if I say I'm sorry,
will it be alright
if I stay by your
side tonight.
I want to stay by your side.
I'm so sorry if I've hurt you,
let me hold you in my arms
and lay quietly by your side.
Will it be okay to stay my love.
Another chance is all I want.
I need to make it right
for all the pain
I've caused you.
I know that I've no excuses
for what I have done.
But you'll have to look
back on our love
and forgive me if I've hurt you.

Her love is
like a purple
folded depression.
Influenced by the
purple bewitched.
In a marvelous
mood of a
haunted soul.
Darkened by
the influence of
a magical force.
To put fear
in the heart
of the oppressed.
A multiple
personality she is.
A disorder of
a confused one.
So scary and
as mad as
a wild dog,
she screamed.
Influenced by
the new and
full moon.
Indulging in their
magical circle,
the talking drum
beckons her,
she dances to
the rhythm of
their passage rites
to bring their
ritual to an end.
She collapsed and
recovered from the
delirious hypnotic dream,
wondering what
just happened.
She didn't even
remember a **** thing.

From birth to a toddler
As a toddler to teenager
From teenage to adolescent
And as I grew up
I knew I'm weird
I knew am unique
I knew am an enigma
I knew am different
I also knew am an Odd fellow
Yeah I see things
not seen with optical eyes
Hear things beyond this realm
I am prophetic for
I say the unspeakable,
things not normal for the average
They say so many things
about me as am growing up:
You are so annoyingly quite
You are so sensitive
You are always by yourself.
You are a loner
Your eating habits are so different,
You eat herbs.
You are a teetotaler,
and a recluse,
an introvert
With the ability to heal the sick.
An object of mingled awe and revulsion,
Simultaneously revered and abhorred,
Mysterious and elusive,
highly talented and unassuming,
an erratic genius but modest
with enormous strength but reserved.
I am an alien,
living amongst strangers.
There's an Alien within.

In my hours of loneliness,
It is the love's unfolding dream
That lights up my life,
That purifies me,
And lift my soul higher,
To embrace the bliss that unfolds
Quietly in my being.
In stillness I absorb And abandon
Myself to it's splendour.

With insanely absolute certainty
I am definitely convinced,
that notion died instantly yesterday.
Unwittingly the dream committed suicide.
Our next generation will suffer for the
bad mistakes of our greedy elders.
They cannot save us now.
The pain of fixing it is worst than
the original pain experienced.
They have no clue of the
magnanimity of what they have done.
We can't escape from the
consequences of our deeds.
Doom awaits in the corner.
Go back to where you have fallen.
Mend your fences.
Hurry for thunderstorms.
Save yourselves from their
tortuous acts awaiting you.
Unity among you is vitally necessary.
Our ancestors who sleeps
long ago awakes in their vaults.
The doors of the spirits is now opened.
The blood of our own kindreds
and children killed cries
out from their graves.
Who is he that will boldly
answer the dance call of the flute played.
Let such a one fearlessly come out
of the veil and lead our people.
Our help only comes from our unity.
One voice is our strength.
God will be our helper.

If it is
an illusion,
why do
i feel it
so deep
in my heart.
I'm dazed
with this
illusion
as if
I'm drunk.
Is this truly love.
I'm so
intoxicated by
it all.
But I
don't want
to get out of it
It's tremendous
sweetness,
so powerfully
encircled me.
Now I'm a
prisoner of love.
There is
no escape,
for i am done.
I need to
come out
of this prison
and be free.
All you see
are illusions
of magic
hidden within
the heart.
But yes,
it must be love.
©2018,Emeka Mokeme. All Rights Reserved.

Are you afraid
of losing me
or losing yourself
in your imagination.
Holding so tight
of the things
you claim to
love is obsession
and not love.
Free your spirit
to reclaim yourself.
To love is to
feel pain,
it is sometimes
painful.
It will even be
more painful if
you held on
so tight.
But love will
ease it of you.
You don't have
to suffer the pangs
of the bite of love
for i genuinely
love you.
But this love
brings you pain
when you
hold tight.
I can't breath
since you
won't let go.
Hold me gently,
i'm still yours.
Hold me
loosely and
you'll have
me forever.
No need to
suffocate what
you love by
holding so tight
or I die. .
Free me so
as to last.
Water me with
words of love
to sprout,
not to wither.
The love in
my heart is
just for you.
Respect and care,
is all I need.
I'm not a
toy or a piece
of possession.
Neither am i
a rubber stamp
you pick up
anytime you want
to stamp your
heart when
you need me.
I'm still yours
even in my
freedom.
What is the
essence of my
imprisonment in
your heart,
i'm not a
caged animal
but a soul
willing to share
my heart and
my love,
my life and
my essence with you.
But set me free
so I can be
like the butterfly
looking for flowers
to drink on
the nectar,
hovering around
you with
tremendous gladness.

Here am l,
not quite lived,
or really lived my life
at this present moment,
and am here thinking
about death,
instead of living the life given,
I'm waisting my time,
my energy,
my best moments,
thinking of a world
I never know,
or want to be right now
nor to be bothered with,
though I knew of its existence
does not necessarily mean
I want to prepare for it while
living in the present moment.
Though it will come but at its time.
You are not going there
with anything but your experience.
Concentrate on living an
awesome life with
a beautiful ending,
be altruistic in your dealings,
accumulate a great lesson,
live a life of service,
earn yourself a good name,
and exit from here with
dignity,honour and respect.
You are not here to think
about the next life
you have not seen,
but to live well in the now
and enjoy the present moment
which is now entirely yours.
Learn the lessons in each encounter,
accept and forgive whoever
and whatever confronts you,
for in it you will find yourself.
At the end of your existence,
you would have lived a worthy life,
regardless of how early or
late your demise might be.
Whatever may be the case,
live an exemplary life worth
of emulating without
rancour and strive,
but with a quiet spirit full of life,
love and light to share.
However hurt or cheated you may be,
forgive and forget with
Thanksgiving for the sake
of peace within you.

I am the one
whose heart
silently calls out
to the soul
who can hear
from within the
depths of the being,
the voice of
a willing heart.  
I am not seeking
a soul that is
not worthy and
completely persuaded,
or the one
whose heart cannot
fully and truly
be committed.
My heart seeks
the one that
can be the
sun that shines
in the darkness
of my soul.
The moon that
lights up the
pathway to the
inner garden
of my heart.
The rose that
unfolds itself
as it's fragrance
spreads.
I am like
the candle that
burns itself up to
give others light.
The one who
wants to walk
with you in
your aloneness,
bringing comfort
and solace to
soothe your
wrinkled face.
I come with love
enough to make
you a happy
soul again.
Open your heart
with joyful tenderness
to receive the
one standing within
your garden.
I am the one
you can rely on.

I may have a gentle touch
but I am not at all weak.
All my life,
people have been
messing with me
and I've kept quiet
because I choose to,
they misunderstand
my calmness for weakness
because they really didn't
see my hidden strength.
They prefer  that
I stay In the corner
while they take the center stage
to show off their foolishness,
they forget that it is
better to be a wise fool
than to be foolishly wise.
I know the signs of rainfall,
I also know what it is called,
I am definitely not an idiot
and because I choose to step out
into the rain without an umbrella
does not make me a fool,
I own one and believe me,
I know how to use it,
maybe I love the rain
and choose to get wet;
that means I can
wipe myself dry
and not catch cold.
Let that sink in.

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.

See how the time flies,
fleeting away before our very eyes,
While we sit down and watch.
The clouds passes by,
The days comes and goes.
The night comes with the hope
of a new dawn.
The twilight appears before
our own eyes with its stars
to comfort our hearts,
The sun shines in the sky,
and sets again to return in the morning.
The moon lights up the night
and then disappears when the lights come.
The birds of the air flies by,
with their new song to cheer us,
The rain falls to water our forests,
and continued not,
It stops.
Ebbs and tides of the ocean comes,
they rise then stops.
Like a ripe fruit on the tree
that drops at it's time,
the new born baby comes with a pomp,
then passes before us as adult
with our tears flowing like the rivers.
Oh what a life!!!
Can we not just love each other,
bear each other's burden.
For this life is nothing but vanities.
We must leave everything we worked
and laboured for behind.
What a waste without love.
Show your love,
Share your Love with someone,
It will better your soul.
