The Spirit of The Lord is
Ministering through my life;
see through my eyes,
hear through my ears,
talk through my mouth,
feel through my Heart,
understand through my Spirit,
touch through my hands,
walk through my legs,
think through my mind,
love through my being,
yet beyond my comprehension.
Here,
I stand in awe because
my mortal understanding is not
yet sufficient to apprehend all
that permeates my being.
But in my weakness and folly
His banner over me is love.
I cherish His admonition
and counseling
He instructs with love,
diligence and patience.
His amazing Grace towards
me is beyond measure,
in that he honors me
with his benevolence
Wisdom and clear direction,
his hidden and dark secret
made lighter to my understanding.
My heart is so thankful.
I say Thank You Lord!!!

Today I come out from under
the rock where I am hiding
for safety of the stray bullets of
self-made enemies even though
there is no war
but battle is going on.
This sacred rock,
so to speak,
has kept many safe,
the hush hush whispers,
the I don't know attitude,
the quite way of going around
as if nothing is happening,
but fully aware of danger
lurking in the dark,
like the volcano waiting to erupt.
The strangers took the advantage
of our nonchalant weakness,
amassed weapons of destruction,
building strategies under our very nose.
We smell the flowers but
deaf and dumb to its poison.
Today I urge you to leave
your comfort zone behind.
I'm surprised at what I saw at a glimpse.
The strangers living amongst us
Unwittingly sneaked so close
and has mischievously
laid a trap in our backyard,
planning our demise at a trumps call
while we buy, sell,dine and dance.
This is a wake up call from your slumber.
Come out of your comfort zones,
out of under the rock where you hide.
Awake now my beloved people.
Arise and defend yourselves
from this impending danger,
or you will have nothing to wake up to.
Save yourselves from thunderstorms,
your culture and tradition,
Secure your generation,
protect your children.
Arise now and live.

The words we
uttered are from
the letters of the
alphabets of the
spirit meant to
bring solace and
sanity into the
affairs of man.
To combine one
letter with the
other two or three
alphabet is to
form the words
flowing through the
door of our mind.
Words are powerful
spells that help
alleviate stress of
confusion and bring
order into what
our mouth utters.
I know myself
in my words.
I don't look for
myself in the
middle of the
darkness of the
words that flows
out of my soul,
for the words
turned and
become light when
they come out
of the darkness
of the heart.
It was dusk,
with the rosy clouds
dotting the western
sky after the rain.
The glow of
one warm thoughts
is to me worth
more than money.
No man jokes
with his inner peace.
He opens his
mouth and words
come out.

I can't believe she said that!!!,
That she came into my life with great love,
Love that amazes and beautifies my life,
Life that is awesomely glorious and worth living,
Living a perfectly beautiful life and enjoying it because,
Because it is necessary and vitally important,
Important to be with my friendly lover,
Lover and my most loveliest friend,
Friend we are to each other forever,
Forever I can't believe she said.

My word,
My life,
my heart,
my being,
my world,
Intertwined,
Interwoven,
knit together,
equally yoked,
with a blast of
subtle energy
Saturates my
whole being,
beautifully blended
with the whole nature,
contained in one place,
resonates in synergy.
Is it not necessary and
better to do away
with anything that makes
you feel so bad.
Life is even too short
to waste on
unprofitable issues.
The whole
universe are yours,
above and below.
All the elements,
earth,

beat their drums,
just to please you.
The elementals,
fairies,
elf's,
moving daily,
weaving with grace,
blissfully sharing,
distributing with enthusiasm,
working tirelessly just for you.
You are a unique masterpiece created
to show forth the beauty of God's glory.

I must be crazy,
for the thoughts
rushing into
my head will **** me.
They can make me mad.
I'm afraid of me.
Is this the way of the poets?
I think we are all crazy.
Walking around with our clothes on
but really mad.
These thoughts are bizarre,
crazy in their pattern,
unfolding in my head
in such crazy ways,
makes me feel weird.
I think the problem of
my problem is the problem.
I really don't know where all
those thoughts are coming from.
I see them coming,
I can hear them,
whispering in my head
so loud as if my eardrums will burst.
I want to close my ears from
their pesky rumblings,
but I can't because they are coming from a different sphere
and can't be stopped.
I hear their footsteps matching
down my spine.
I feel their breath on my shoulders,
so close for comfort.
Can you hear them too?
I must be crazy.
I am.
I am!!
I am?

Live for today
Now is for you
Each moment is the best
©® Emeka Mokeme.2017,All rights reserved.

This chain
of love is
connected to
heaven and earth,
like the sky.
As the
ocean breeze,
soothing and
calming to
my soul.
Your presence
is like
a balm
to my heart.
Like you flowed
down from
the throne,
of heaven
as if poured
from the
silvery chalice
for a purpose.
The lit
place of love
is where you,
my love
are contained.
That's where
you are going.
Right in my
heart you shine.
Beautifully crafted,
as if sculptured
by an Angel.
You make
my world glow.
Lovely and radiant,
you are
the one
that shines.

I know your heart,
believe me,
I know.
I know the elation
and the joy inside
the heart when
everything seems alright.
I also know the joy and
understand the pain of
that feeling of loneliness
that overwhelms you.
I know the anguish
of your heart and I know
that you are hurting.
I know the confusion
that visits the heart
when finances dwindle
by reason of illness.
I know those sleepless
nights alone in the dark cold
nights at the park when you
don't have a place to dwell in.
I know your fear and
I have seen what it can do.
I know the unbearable
heartrending tears that flows
throughout the night when you
think the world has caved in on
you and life is not fair.
I know the hopelessness
of the one who is so helpless.
How you wish you can disappear
and not be noticed even when you
are in the crowd or
with your loved ones.
I know at the moment you wish
for death that will not come
so soon for a reason because,
beloved child of God,
you are highly favored,
Weep not again,
heaven has heard your cry.
Help and comfort,
solace and Providence from the
culmination of your past efforts are
here to bring to you desired good.
Thank goodness gifts and support are rendered.
Arise and shine again.

Twisted,
That is the impression
my mind conceived of you.
The image I perceived
when I heard the words
from your mouth.
I have listened to your utterance
and I'm convinced you pitched
your tent with the devil.
You opened your mouth,
words came out but
they were of the evil one.
How did you even get there,
as a ruler of the people,
it beats my imagination.
You forced yourself in,
but you have no idea how to
handle affairs of the people.
There is no good in evil
for you are twisted in all
your dealings.
You **** the blood of your people,
as a modern vampire.
Blood is everywhere you stepped into.
You are really twisted because
you are jinxed.
Fear and blood is in the air.
The people are bleeding,
famished and sickly.
Nothing is left,
and nothing is right.
You ordered death for your people,
they drink suffering as water,
ethnic cleansing is like
sour wine offered to the people.
You are really twisted for sure.

To restore a life,
a life must be taken.
To break a curse,
a few will die for
others to live.
Blood must be shed,
to save a life.
A life is taken,
for someone to live
and for hundreds to live,
many will die.
Without shedding of blood,
there will not be
remission of sin.
Being afraid,
the heart shivers within,
even though the eyes
cannot see it.
It's courage to
withstand the odds and
quench the storm makes
all the whole pesky monsters die.
Be ready,
for all things
are made anew.
Yield to the one who
makes all things
beautiful in his time.
Don't be afraid anymore,
he has to die to set you free,
but behold he lives again
so that you will not die but live.
No one needs to die anymore
for you to live.
You are not cursed.
No more shedding of blood.
Say no to anyone to die for your sake.
It is not normal and
it is not acceptable.
It has to stop
And now!!

There is an amazing
and healthy way to lose
control without messing up
that is truly beautiful when
you fall in love.
It makes you act like
a child movie star
everyone can laugh with.
It brings out the hidden part of our
silly nature without condemnation.
Falling in love allows our child like
spirit to come out to play.
It expresses itself with joy
and let a part of our being know
that it is alright to be silly.
It is pure and intense,
with accessible vulnerability.
It carries it's own special beauty,
reminding us to do funny and
acceptable stuff for the one you love.
Love never belittle your intent
however silly it may look.
It's laughable when you completely lost
yourself in love playing dumb,
whispering softly silly meaningless
nothing in each other ears.
Sweet candy crush,
hot chocolate,
my apple pie,
my cream puff,
Hahaha!!!,
the funny names you call yourselves,
and all the beautiful strange names used.
To love and be loved is awesomely beautiful.

I believe.
I believe in you,
yes I believe.
I know you exist,
I also know that you
live within my heart.
I believe and I know
that with you all
things are possible.
I believe that in you
I can find myself.
Your presence is
comforting and
reassuring,
for in you everything
consist and live.
Because you dwell
on your throne,
you are still mindful of me,
your love for me baffles me.
Your name is on every lip,
both in those who don't
know you and those
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.

Now I know for sure that
you are the one that my
heart wants to love,
the only one who has
touched my humanness.
You helped to bring Joy to me,
and for that I give the rest
of my life to your care.
My heart speaks for you,
my soul yearn for you,
my whole being resonates
to your love.
Two hearts meets in the *****
of love forever.
Let's not mind if we reach the
shore or not.
This heart will always love you,
for you are the best.
Life for me is beautiful with you in it.
How can I not have you as a
covering for the rest of my life.
Delightful is the day I found you.
Grateful to be called your friend.
I'm so glad to have you as
the love of my life.
Waking up everyday by your
side is awesome.
Because of you I am favored.
I lived a genteel life
but now abundance surrounds me.
My house is now a home,
a sanctuary of love,
where healing takes place on my
dining table because of your kitchen.
My life is fulfilled,
because the God of my heart smiled.
I say thanks to you.

Personal Glimpses

The tenderness in
your beauty softens
the lines of sorrow
in my wrinkled face.
The elegant movement
of your graceful steps
flows like that of a running brook
in a quiet country side.
The velvet softness of your hand
reminds me of the
tenderness of a rose petal.
You my dear,
are a soft sweet flowing
melody of a symphony orchestra,
a beautiful work of art,
unique and complex,
And it amazes me
how in your complexity
you are profoundly so simple.
You are etched in gold
by the hand of The creator.
May your days be filled with all
that is beautiful and Devine.
You are loved a lot.

The day I
saw you I just
knew there was
something so
good and special
about you.
It was a
cold beautiful
Friday morning.
You snuggled
on a couch
beside a fireplace
reading an African
poetry book.
Unaware of my
presence.
Unruffled by the
noise in the room.
It was dark and
drizzling with
thunderstorm
shattering the sky.
Only a flicker
and glow from
outside flashing
into our space.
Our host puts
on a symphony
orchestra by Mozart.
Who would have
thought that our
hearts and lives
would have merged
and blended together
by a piece of music
for a lifetime walk.
That beautiful music,
like a spell,
mysteriously and
unwittingly caused
magic to happen
that night.
There was a
thunderbolt and
our eyes met
as if there was
an internal pull
our hearts interlocked.
It was such a beautiful
unforgettable moment.

Let it be known that
I'm not a man given to
lies as some may assumed.
Let it be on record.
Be it known that henceforth
I turn away from all things not
worthy to glorify him
or of me to be doing.
I know I am a man of sin,
not pure or worthy to carry
that message of hope,
but the power of the anointing
compelled me to stand in your
presence with out being judged.
Let it be recorded for posterity.
Make known the way of living
with the divine ability even when
you feel ***** and not so clean,
so you can be set free.
Even the Word that comes forth
from the mouth of our Lord and savior
has made you free.
Let it be known through out the world
of his ability and presence.
Write it down so that generations
to come will know of the name,  
Christ the Priest King.
Proclaim him to the world so that
generations unborn will hear it.
Believe on his Lordship,
He is worthy to be praised.
Worship him for he is worthy
to be adored.
Glorify him for he is worthy.
Lift him up so high above all
that is created or made so
all eyes will see Him.
This King of glory is in the midst
of all things,
do not fret.
Let it be known to all creation,
that he is the king.
Alleluia Amen.

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.

I recognize you
I acknowledge your presence
You are the King of
the castle of my heart.
You made me see the invisible,
believe the impossible.
I hinged my life,
my prosperity on your presence.
Because you dwell in my castle,
my struggles are over.
The whole earth wonders of you.
The beauty of your existence
is seen all over the cosmos.
Your glory and beauty is marvelous,
your might is captivating,
you radiate in all your creations,
seen in all their actions.
Fearful but approachable,
so high but near.
My heart pants when you touch me.
On my knees is the place to reach you.
My heart is so grateful for
the love of your indwelling presence.
I am still perplexed and amazed at the
impact of your touch on my own spirit.
My heart rejoice
and my mouth says thank you.
I will always carry your presence
to affect my world.

Be very afraid.
Its just beginning.
East,west,north or south,
Different paths,
Not the same destination,
and not the same in anything.
We don't see eye to eye,
We don't agree in anything.
Your aggressive nature ruins
my life.
The lives of my
children matters.
The lives of children yet
unborn very vital.
My brothers lives,
My sisters lives,
Mothers and fathers,
Young and old,
We are destined to be here
as a people.
We settled here long before
you forced me to join you.
This merger is not
beneficial to my survival.
Now I have become an
unnecessary annoyance to you.
I only ask that you let me be.
I ask that you give
me space to develop,
I only ask that you give
me room to breathe.
I want to be left alone in
my geographical home.
Understand me I beg of you.
I need not to be annihilated,
Or brutalised by your
warmongering heroes.
Your aggression towards
my people is uncalled for
and unnecessary.
I demand a peaceful solution
to resolve this assault on my land.
There is no victory amidst ruins and ashes.

Deep love
like deep rain
receives its strength
like deep breaths
from deep feelings
from deep emotions
from deep heart
pounding like
deep drum beats
calling the deep
to answer the
deep making deep
impressions upon the
deep canvas of
life's threshold
to bring comfort
and solace to
our being.
With deep
happy thoughts
deep memories
are made.
Deep within ourselves
hopes are rekindled
so deeply.
With deep love
the greater light
are subtly ignited.
From the depth
of our being
deeper than the
oblivious abyss,
from the world
that surpass hope
and fear comes
deep courage,
with wings to
make us fly.
Deeply to delightful
high we know
deeper that the
higher than the
highest watches
even deeply
our oppression from
the very beginning.
Our hearts in
deep solemn silence
offers deep gratitude
to the bliss received.

The vague thoughts
of you in
my head is
definitely an illusion
of silly deception.
It's like a
deception of a
deluded one asked
to step into the
deep murky waters
just to retrieve
the slimy spit
of a loved one.
Like a man
who shaved
his beard off
and still wants
to wear it
on his head
as a souvenir.
Like a child
that saves his
tears on a jar
to be used
as an ointment.
Like something
you don't know
or understand
that mysteriously
pulls you back.
Like an uncanny
whirlwind that
blows at midday.
Like the sound
of an unseen feet
raising lots
of dust on
a lonely street.
It is a
terrible deception that
cannot be atoned
either in time
or eternity.
Like a foul
smelling ****
that can choke
even the fish
in the deepest waters.
I just want
to be myself,
not you.

It is in this place of
solitude that I found peace.
Within this space in time
I heard the whispering
of self from within .
My conscious mind impacted
with unspeakable sacred
words unheard of before.
The ancient of days speaking
with authority from his throne.
My mind is stilled by
the mutterings of this
sacred secrets of the ancients.
It is Soothing,
comforting,
invigorating,
healing,
strengthening,
and gloriously powerful,
an unspeakable elixir.
I am the called,
I am the chosen vessel
with which He speaks.
I act only at His command,
I speak only when He ask,
I do only that which
He desires of me.
I am a priest king,
An Elect of the most high,
the Almighty,
the supreme God who reigns forever.
I am fulfilled in Him.
Blessed be he forever and ever.

They have never been here for me
when I needed help,
like I was for them.
But I wondered,
as I watched,listened and waited.
How will it be on that day
on my long absence,
when that day comes
when I pass on,
will everyone miss me,
Since they did not help me,
will they now show off their fortune
to celebrate my demise,
wear me the best clothes,
put my body in the best casket,
spend the money
they never shared with me,
to entertain my friends
they have never met,
cry over me as if they meant it.
I can't imagine how
it will be on that day.
I guess it will be lonely,
as I'm used to loneliness.
All I ever want is for them to
remember me as loving them.
All I ever want is for
them to understand
why I never complained
about anything or
how they have treated
me as if am an outcast,
an unnecessary annoyance,
yet they call me beloved,
friend,Dad,brother,uncle.,
Mum,Aunty,Sister.
My heart hurts so much,
but you'll never see my tears,
Yes,I took it all in,
I took the pain,
I took the shame,
I took the blame,
I guess it's all good,
it's alright and,
it is nothing...
I'll be fine.
But you know what I found out,
They truly didn't know me,because,
I am like a time capsule
that has never been open.

It is on my knees that I win my
battles against all odds.
On my knees daily is where my missile
is located to win my adversaries.
Sword of the spirit drawn against all craftiness and manipulations of the evil intruders who messes with me
and those i love.
It is from sitting on the shoulders of this gentle giant who lifts me up from this valley that i climb my mountain.
From this mount of God i conquer.
Is there fear in the heart of man,
to that yes there is i must say.
But there is no fear in the heart of man when confronted by his truth even in the face of death when he is fully convinced.
His boldness and fierceness will drive him more to do the impossible.
He neither fear the advances of evil surrounding him for he knows that something must **** a man.
Fully aware of what must be done,
his mind strengthened by might of his ability, pursue his purpose to meet the expected end.
He will not leave any stone unturned,
for he is thorough in his dealings.
There is no obstacle placed on his way his powers cannot move.
Replenished at all times by the forces beyond him to strive,he forge ahead despite the odds.
Moving with the ability and strength provided for this purpose,
he held onto the sword of the spirit as if it's the last hope to strike and
bruise the dragons head with  all his last breath to give it a deadly blow.
Victory is accorded to such a one who confronts the unknown with help from the Almighty.

Do i have
the grace enough

effect change.
Ask yourself:
Do i have compassion
to touch the wound
and hurts of others
with tenderness.
Ask yourself:
Am i mindful and
sensitive to others
of different opinions.
Ask yourself:
Am i thoughtful enough
to do the right thing.

Ask yourself:
Is there healing

Ask yourself:
Will my strenght be

given you.
Always remember that

You don't know the Joy of
being able to breathe,
Hmmmmm;
being able to breath
in Joyful tenderness
is Happiness.
Today I stop to worry,
I stop to fret,
I stop to frown,
And I start to smile
and laugh out loud
at these frivolous
things that infests my life.
These choices I've made
have consequences,
but a better one at that...
Don't try to be a band aid
as if I'm wounded
or try to fix me as if
I'm a damaged good.
I ask that you leave your place
for a moment,
try to fit into my shoe,
only then you'll find out
how much I've been through
and how strong after
all these while I've become..
then you'll understand.
I guess my life may seem
Like a disappointment to you,
and cause you to look
at me as an unnecessary annoyance
but know that every thing
is working out
the way they should..
whether you know it or not,
Whether you like it or not,
whether you understand it or not,
And whether you believe it or not...
Just know it can only get better,
always to my advantage..
I am the Noble one
with a beautiful Soul
and I love my self so much
that I love you so much
that you have to start
loving me so much
as God loved you...

The sign of promise made,
Appear first in the morning sky.
The Rainbow smiling down at me,
While it is still drizzling,
With a flicker of the morning sun,
While Saturn sits watching and smiling.
The abstinence about to end,
My heart desire has been answered.
With this assurance,
I know it can only get better.
The cosmic law fulfills all things,
above and below,
mundane and spiritual.
The struggle is now settled,
peace now reigns,
supremacy of the Almighty is here.
His power overrules all existing powers.
The rainbow smiling  down at me,
as I look up under the drizzling rain,
with the subtle morning sun as a witness.
Behold the Rainbow.

Just like the morning sun,
Life is sweet and glorious,
beautiful and fulfilling,
filled with vim,
vigour and vitality.
Can anything be as
sweet,bright and lovely,
Glorious and regenerating
than the Awesome,
amazing wonderful gifts,
Acts and works of the Almighty?
See how everything in
synergistic blend
is working together for our good.
To be given a glorious existence,
there has never been such
a wonderful experience.

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.

Now that you know,
yesterday you didn't know.
Today you are smarter.
Tomorrow can be better.
Achievements come
but bit by bit,
from glory to glory.
You can change
and overcome your fate,
not overnight but
consistently by faith.
Insurmountable obstacles
can be leveled,
by daily dose of
your persistent pressure
on its presence.
No amount of cajoling
can stop a determined
soul to step aside
from its beliefs.
There is no turning
back for the one
who sets out to
plough in the
business of living
for he knows the
glory that is to come.
Don't wait for
whatever you want
to come to meet you,
you must move
towards it with
one step at a time.
©2018,Emeka Mokeme. All Rights Reserved.

I know that
now there
are no answers.
The time is going
to tell you
tomorrow,
it will always
answer your
curiosity on
its own time.
Be patient.
It will come.
As for you,
don't ask time
what it has
in the store,
it doesn't have
anything in stock,
what you have
is in your mind,
you only need
to use it for
something and
make time to
serve you.
If it will
be for now,
it is forever.
But if it's
not for now
then it is
not forever.
What is this,
the move,
that move,
what is it called,
the move you
just made,
what is it called.
Mind over matter.

Don't be wary of me
when I don't respond
and reciprocate
to your soul calling out
to me for love.
I can hear you
for deafness is not among
my many failings.
My heart may not be listening,
for it's not yet awake
and aware of the soul call
or capable of loving such a one
by reason of my brokenness.
Find a soul that can
tear down your broken heart,
replace it with his own
and crawl up in deep as
you can and be safe,
for this is Love.
Don't mess up what is so
important in your life just
because you are a little
unsure of who you are.
Our brokenness can be mended,
healed by bonding with the
ability of divine helpful hands.
For such is the beginning of
outpouring of the spirit drawing
the twin flames together binding
their souls as one.
Love must triumph over the mundane.

The other side
of the soul
there is a
secret sacrifice
under the storm.
Justice by all
means for he is
murdered in
cold blood.
You have a
second chance to
change the situation.
Scorched by crossing
paths with the
other two are
in sync with
the rosy clouds.
Our ancestors have
all lived and die.
We must live
our own lives.
Clean the house
and find our
missing justice
by any means.
Someone you thought
you knew has
betrayed you.
But destiny called
and a part
of me died.
There's no place
like home to
embrace the untamed.
His inner growth
is necessary to
survive the storm.
Nothing ever is
worst than being
an outcast in
your very own
house.
The siege is
still going on,
both in your
mind and outside
the corridor.
To survive is
to win the war.

Ruffled and unsettled,
pressed by the 
loneliness deep
within my being,
joy flew away
like a bird
and perched on
the window pane
of another.
Pain seeps
from the heart
into the bones
and tissues like
hot oil burning
even the marrows.
Only the birds messed
empty cage remains,
to tell the 
intricate and intriguing
stories of once 
inhabited beautiful island,
called "my heart".
How would i
tell another the
beauty and glory
of the joy
long gone,
left on a
beautiful but now
abandoned heart.
Dropped like an
old used earthenware.
But certainly it is 
still needful and
useful like an 
uncultivated farmland.
And the truth
is that this 
very thing
is really worrisome.
How would anyone
new begin to
understand the depth 
of love once shared
by this very heart.
But is it
really real love or
just another mistake,
because i couldn't
win her heart.
Can true love
really be lost.
It is a terrible
accident for it
almost consume me.
Where is this
love hiding,
whisper now to 
my ears where
your true self abides,
so my whole being 
can truly move on 
and my heart may rest.

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.

Death is just the taking away
of the gross material that
enshrouds and hides
the life essence that is you,
setting you free from your
temporary cocoon that has become
your mortal prison.
In your freedom,
You will find there's no death.
Live your life fully with gladness.
Be aware of your awesomeness
and make a mark with your life.
Follow the path of righteousness.
Realise that you are nothing more
than a sojourner on earth.
Enter into each day with
joyful tenderness in your heart.
Take whatever comes to you,
either good or bad as it is
without much ado,
for they come to make up
the textures of your life.
Be strong and courageous
Remain calm in the face of adversities.
Be unshakable,
for all you encountered and achieved
is for a while and for a purpose,
to make your life a worthy one.
Do not for any reason cause anyone
to weep or go through an unnecessary harrowing experience because of you.
Live wherever life places you in harmony
with those in your sphere
knowing you are there to serve.
Be aware of what will be a source of
your future annoyance,
and with wisdom deal with it
or completely avoid it.
Remember who you are always.
Do the right things.

Today is so awesome and sublime,
Because you are in it,
because the sun shines,
Because the flowers bloom,
Because the birds are
singing their new song,
Because the butterflies
visits my garden,
Because the rain falls,
Because beautiful flowers grows
at the sides of the Brooke
which meanders
and finding its way around the
rock under the trees
in the mangrove forests.
Because everyone is smiling,
Because I heard the children laughing,
Because all things are beautiful,
Because of your love
the broken hearted
and the sick ones are healed,
And the ones who are bound are set free,
The needy and hungry are helped.
Because everything is working
out the way they should,
The good and not so good.
For all these my heart is grateful.

You can't manage it,
it's unimaginable what it can do,
neither can you endure it,
not even patience can stand it.
It's like a car without fuel,
or one with a flat tire,
it won't go anywhere until
it is filled and changed.
Hunger can beat up and
****** a child in front of
the mother or family and
they won't do anything.
It makes and drives one crazy.
It can cause you to think
and do the impossible.
Unwittingly we must cross
the line of the rat race to
become dynamic individuals
to beat the hunger that erode
and corrodes our society.
A normal person can turn
into a monster or a mobster,
just to feed the family.
It drives one to the edge,
to become either a saint
or a criminal.
Most crimes are caused
by hunger and impoverisheness.
Where the kids are involved,
anything can be done,
risks taken just to feed them.
It's catastrophic havoc can
be frightening,
can be definitely dreadfully depressing,
It's continuous visit causes
malnourishment and kwashiorkor,
a menace to be feared.
Pray it does not come knocking
on your door.
It's visitation is one you can't easily forget.

The magic of once upon a time
has gone out of the garden of which
man was made to tend and to keep.
The mysteries in our world meant
to lead man to the miraculous
disappeared by the hate filled life
of our heartless way of living.
Our way of life are so full of greed,
that man become so empty,
for we pursue the mundane things
outside the glorious treasures
hidden within our consciousness.
Driven by the unreasonable
frivolous emptiness of a
quick silver lifestyle of the lost ones,
many have wandered away
from the castle of the valued
and treasured precious mysteries of
creation hidden within the heart of man.
Man can always return to the exulted glory,
for the paradise is not completely lost.
As simple as it is,
all that is required is to love one another,
and that magic lost will gradually come back.
The glorious heart of the exulted man,
the intelligence of the mind of man knows,
and understands this truth.
He only needs to step into the place that centers him within to fully enjoy
the joyful tenderness of an exulted being.

By the lonely
corner of this
beautiful forest
i wish to live.

Where nature speaks,
where the solace
from the quietness
and silence of
this exotic place
run free.

Where the fairies
and the elementals
grant wishes.

Where the beauty
of solitude is displayed.

Here undisturbed,
the angels
came to dine.

At this lovely
lonesome moments
i rediscovered
my true self.

This is where
nature gives life
a meaning.

At this instant
in my aloneness
and quiet moments.

Profound revelations
are made,
ushering in a new dawn.

Henceforth let
no man disturb me.

I've found
the true gold,
the philosophers stone
within as promised.

Embrace and hold tight with your heart
and two hands that which endears your life with gladness
and never ever let go,ever.

Hiding within the air waiting for you to fumble just a little bit in the presence of your beliefs before it strikes is doubt. It is a stranger meddling with your heart.

Personal Glimpses

You are the
most beautiful soul.

Your presence is
like healing itself.

I am so
grateful for the
space you have
created in my world.

Now i can more
easily acknowledge
my capacities.

This beauty was
just a contribution
to me yesterday.

Thank you
for what you
have showed
me today.

It showed me
oodles of stuff
I'd not noticed before.

This is the
beauty that came
with me on my walk.

A glorious adventure
with a blade
of light in my hands.

Today I was
surrounded by delights.

Today I was
gifted umpteen energies
to nurture and excite.

Today I was
rippling with gratitude
and proud of
what life has
accomplished of me.
©2019,Emeka Mokeme.

Yesterday I had thought
about tomorrow.
Today I have some big
plans for tomorrow.
Now that it is here,
I'm still not fully
prepared for it,
for this tomorrow can
never be filled.
No one has ever lived
or stepped into tomorrow
or even beyond it,
but we all are carriers of tomorrow's
seed with great potentials.
We can but only envision,
dream of it,
plan and plan
but never really satisfied.
It is funny how people
struggle for it,
instead of just living for today.
Our lives has meaning if we can
but only live for this
moment here and now.
In living for just today
we fully enjoy what it has to offer
just for this moment.
There will be no tomorrow
for anyone who has not sowed
any seed into it today,
for such a one will
only meet a farrow and
barren land with no crops to harvest.
Work diligently with
all your might to make today
the best day ever.
As an important part of your life,
just live for today,
that is why it is here to meet you.
Enjoy it fully for it is yours.
The tomorrow you wait for may never come,
by reason of the long absence,
death could carry us away,
but today is here now at this moment,
welcome it with joy in your heart.
Cultivate in it and sow in it,
and the dividends will satisfy you.

Beauty is found
everywhere in all
created things in nature.

Even where the
surf searches the
sand for symbols.

Have you ever
found the unknown
lonely footprints left
at a quiet beach.

Even down the
dark places deep
in the ocean where
all kinds of beautiful
exotic creatures known
and unknown plays.

Unperturbed by the
presence or
pressures of man.

Check out the
beauty at plains
of a running brook.

Meandering and flowing
through the meadow
with the hills and
the mountains beyond.

Heard across the street
from a high castle,
the light little footsteps
and the laughter
of a child running
through the quiet path.

Look up in the sky
at night and behold
the handcraft of
the Almighty displaying
gracefully with stunning view.

What can i say
of the animals
in the wild with
the exotic flowers
in their lonely enclave.

Displaying their loveliness
hidden away,
living happily and
quietly in
their habitat.

Have you ever
taken time to see
how the light
of the sun shines.

As if smiling
to greet you
first thing at dawn.

How lovely and
radiantly beautiful all
creation including man
turned out to be.

He came to
see her from
the ghettos.
But love is
a beautiful
thing to cast
away.
The ghetto soul
is still in him.
Ghetto sun shines
around him
but love is
stronger than death.
She likes the
rugged side of
him.
His shattered life
seems like a
scattered flowers
by the doorstep
of the ****** drunk.
He is still
a beautiful flower
in her vase.
Tenderly she watered
and nurtured him
back to life.
Her love holds
them together,
for she believes in him.
Her love dismantled
his brokenness,
he is now back
from the ghettos.
Recovered from a
down life and
polished with so
much love,
he is now a
man of honour,
well respected
and accepted.
Love now blooms.

I behold your face,Divine one,
Come in all your glory.
Come gently,like the wind
Rushing into my being,
Infusing it with
your wondrous power.
Come like the sun
In all it's splendour,
Warming and caressing my heart.
With grandeur and ecstatic bliss,
Holy Spirit divine
shine forth in me.
Come like a gentle rain,
With tenderness,
Cleanse me of all
impurities of mind and body,
Heal and make me whole.
Come tickle my soul.
Come with compassion,
Come with your Joyful tenderness,
Your sensitivity and warmth.
Come fill my being with your light,
your life and your love.
