NO OFFENSE
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2019
If my words
resonates with you,
take it,
but if not,
please just pass,
no offense.
We may not
stand at same
platform of
understanding.
It definitely
appears apparently
like a sore thumb,
we are not
seeing eye to eye
because maybe,
you are taller.
As the lion killed
the lamb for
a meal doesn't mean
it dislikes the lamb.
It's actually a
liking for a
choice meal
in proper response
to natural order.
Your dislikes are
in line with
where you are at,
in consciousness.
Some day you'll
evolve to maturity.
No offense.
With enlightenment
you unfold slowly like
the rose flower.
It shall be
the morning of
your life.
Like the sun
at dawn,
you shall radiate
with grace,
assured of your stance,
with no offense.

YOU THE KEEPER OF THE FLAME
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2018
He left a greater light on
at day time,
the morning sun.
He left a lesser light on
at night in the dark,
the moon.
He left the greatest light on
at all times,
the embodiment of his essence,
the carrier of divine light within,
the light of the world.
You are the beloved,
the keeper of the flame.
You manifest the beauty of God,
for you are his glory.
Adorned with the fantastic
and amazing grace of heaven,
his love within shine
forth like the stars.
Beautifully woven and configured,
a masterpiece and
wonder of creation.
You are the light of the world,
the sun that brightens the day
and the moon that
manifest itself at night.
The glorious beauty that
shines even in the darkness.
A piece of heaven on earth.
You are the one whose heart is
infused with divine love,
graced and beautified,
adorned and full of divine light,
purified by the greatest good to
show forth his glory on earth.
Yeah, you are the light of the world.

IN THE NEST
Emeka Mokeme Jun 2018
The bird wants to hatch
the all entire eggs in the nest,
but through the stay in one
place the entire season,
unknown forces sets in.
Only in one egg emerged the
wimpy wholly baby bird.
How can that be since the only heir
to the nest is not promising.
Longevity is farfetched,
but the mother bird really doesn't care.
Determined she became empowered to produce an heir,
she vows to nurture her baby back to life.
Love played a role in the baby's survival.
What will you do to reclaim your own
life in a situation like that.
Can you tell yourself to hold on to that
treasure a little longer.
Don't discard the truth even if it's so bitter. However uncomfortable it is,
remember about this one thing,
life is very precious and cannot be replaced.
Put value in everything you do no matter how small and insignificant it is.
In reaching out to the uncommon,
you earn and win the greatest asset there is.
There is no man who doesn't need an heir.
A King does not sit on the throne and leave it empty without a form of replacement.
It is forbidden by nature to make any place desolate.
It must be inhabited and populated by the people or forest.
Only nature on its own can destruct a place and make it inhabitable.
But to warn ahead of time it must before it strikes.
It may not be sudden but to give time it must.
Do not play into the hand not sublime and divine in nature.
For the divine arrangement must take preeminent.

ANNOUNCE ME
Emeka Mokeme Apr 2019
I want you
to love me loudly,
but no,
am not insecure
if you really
want to know.
Show yourself,
let me see
your heart.
Announce me
to the world.
But i learned
not to force anything,
conversations,
friendships,
relationships
attention,
and love.
Anything forced is
not just worth
fighting for,
whatever flows flows,
whatever crashes crashes.
It is what it is.
If you have
to leave anytime,
that is your choice
but letting you
walk away,
that will be
my choice.

MEND YOUR WORDS
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
My ears are
not here to
listen to your
nasty words.
If it doesn't
bring solace and
healing to comfort
my tender heart,
then keep silent,
and be quiet
for it makes
my ears tingle.
My ears are
also neither for
decorations,
nor just to
wear earrings but
as a satellite dish
designed to sensitise
my being,
feed my soul
with things that
edify my heart
and leave the fairest
impressions of love
to ignite my life
with the fire of
the spirit to
light my path.
Speak to me
only the words
that resonates with
my soul in
response to completeness
of your love.
Out of the heart
the mouth speaks
good or evil,
both the words,
the mouth and
the heart becomes
corrupt or give life,
defile or sanctify
the whole body system,
to become *****,
or a saint.  
It's time to
mend your words
and like the
flow of honey,
let your words
come out so sweet,
to comfort the
brokenness of every heart.

UNPERTURBED
Emeka Mokeme Aug 2019
I gazed at
the world with
a serene mind.
Just watched as
if i don't belong here.
But i let all
its worries wash
over me like
the unperturbed rock
by the side
of the river bank.
There all the
seagulls and penguin
comes to rest
and to find solace.
Amazing as the
whole world goes by
with or without you.
The world remembers
nothing of your
presence as you
passed on if
you never leave
your contributions behind.
They talk about
this man and
that man who
was born there.

A TRUE COMPANION
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
The ring on your
finger is mine,
given to you with
love for safe keep,
it's just there to
remind you of the
meaning of our union
and to prove our
love and friendship
to each other.
Reminds us of the
sacred oath we took
to love and to keep
each other for better
and for worse.
It is nothing but
just a gold ring.
But the true meaning
reside within the depths
of our hearts.
There you will
find the truth
and the treasure.
The heart is
the true gold,
it is where the
real gem is hidden.
No one but you
can give it away
to whosoever that
can keep it safe
in the treasure chest
of our hearts.
Wear it with love,
and cherish it with dignity.
Respect the true meaning
and adore the heart
you cling to with love.
Be thorough and be
satisfied by what it offers.
There is much more
in this life's journey
than the pleasures
of the moment.
You can find in
each other what
is missing in you.
Like the magnetic
resonance be clued
to one another.
With so much love
in your heart be
stable and faithful.
Be a true companion
to each other.
Love is greater and
truly beautiful.

BETWEEN EXTREMES
Emeka Mokeme May 2018
In this life,
you cannot have
both world's,
no it can't be done.
You choose one,
either right or wrong,
you win or you lose,
you die or you live,
you either keep on
keeping on,
or you keep on living
on the ground floor.
Both cannot merge.
But another hidden way
belongs to those who
finds the middle path
between the extremes,
they will always come out
victorious for such is
the beginning of a glorious
life free of the perilous
ways in the world.
No mediocrity,
only a higher life above the
ordinary full of incessant
activities with an extraordinary
lifestyle.
Is it possible?
Affirmatively yes,
it is possible.
Pesky lifestyle of others must
be tolerated or be avoided
to win your battle of self.
With enormous gratitude,
live your life amongst others
with joyful tenderness.
And when you win
enough of your battle,
then humanity will blend with
your vision for they are looking
out for such a one in their midst.
Be that fellow who has
found the inner wheel.

YIELD TO LOVE
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2018
To lavishly love and joyfully
share your life with happiness
is always going to heal your soul,
your life and your brokenness.
The heart that loves
cannot hurt anyone.
Never hurt the person
whose only intention was
to make you happy.
You will even be more lonely
when you hurt that person who
in vulnerability stretches and
extended his heart to
you in fellowship.
For your stony heart in confusion
will even be more devastated.
Recognize that there's only one
thing that you will ever do but
to yield to the tenderness of love.
Stop struggling and opposing
yourself but with gladness
welcome the heart that
opens up to you.
It's tenderness will soften
your brokenness and lift your soul
higher to receive the strength
that only comes from the one
whose heart God dwells.
Being deeply loved by someone
gives you strength,
while loving someone deeply
gives you courage.
Don't ever hurt anyone,
especially the one you love
for your stony heart will be so burned,
messed up and consumed
that it will be nearly impossible
for help to come and be rescued.
Yield to love and live.

TRUE MEANING
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
Give yourself
a meaning because
you are the
meaning of true
meaning.
If only your
eyes saw souls
instead of bodies,
you will understand
the mystery of creation.
You will be amazed
how different your
ideals of beauty
would be,
because you will
see the incredible
impressive impact and
loveliness of inner
radiance of true beauty.
Even if for
a moment you
feel and quietly
listen to your
heart beat,
you would have
truly seen humanity.
Take your time
to look deeply
into the eyes of
one close to you,
reflected there is
the same anxiety
of that of every person.
Don't forget to
see the smile
of each individual,
it tells the
true story of
love and loneliness.
Invading your
neighbors vineyard
by force is
a terrible sign
of serious damage,
an incurable
stomachache and
a regrettable source
of eternal loss.

GREATER IS HE
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2017
Blessed are the
hearts that can bend,
They shall never be broken.
But I wonder,
if there's no breaking then
There's no healing,
and if there's no healing,
There's no learning,
and if there's no learning,
Then there's no struggle,
but struggle is a part of life,
So must all hearts be broken.
But then,
my heart is already broken.
You can't brake it ever again,nah!!!,
no one can!!
Because now it is more beautiful
for having been broken,
healed and restored,
regenerated and rejuvenated,
fortified and strengthened
by the love of God
shed abroad in my heart,
For greater is He
that lives and dwells
Inside it now and
Forever.

THIS MOUNTAIN
Emeka Mokeme Aug 2018
I can tell you
for sure that
this mountain
you are carrying
you were only
supposed to climb.
Be humble you
won't last forever.
Is it not more
better to discard all
those things that
make you feel bad.
Life is too short to be
waisted on anger,
bitterness and hatred
for the people
you were supposed to love.
You can not be angry,
and have joy
at the same time.
Though they are not so far
away from each other,
they are both on
a different sphere.
Each can only touch
you by invitation.
And only you can get rid
of it in your life.
Never let it ruin
or gets the better of you.

LAST NIGHT
Emeka Mokeme Jan 2019
Last night was
the last date
of the year.
Today is a
perfect morning and
a good time
for celebrations.
The dawn of
a new year
just emerged.
This is a time to
count our blessings
and give thanks
with a grateful heart.
Good time for reflection.
Looking back at
the achievements,
failure and success,
strength and support
which built our
families and relationships,
businesses and lives.
The time to
drop excess
baggage and luggage
we have carried
throughout the year.
Time to rewrite
the blueprint on
the canvas of life,
set up a
new roadmap,
and have new
goals and aspirations.
A time to
discard the old
and embrace the new.
Time to be
courageous and bold
enough to take
a stand on
new belief system
and embrace a
new hobby and
new arrangements
and another chance
of new beginnings.
To look at
things a little
bit more different
with profound
understanding of the
principle back of things.
Step into this
new phase of
the new year,
the new dawn,
the new beginning
of another chance
to be better
with a grateful heart
and so much love
to be the best
that you can be.

THE UNFORGETTABLE
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2018
You must know that
this world is too small.
It is that small tiny
part in our lives
that we give away to people
but they forget what
it means to love
and how to care,
because it is so small.
Don't ever take anything
or anyone for granted,
for everyone is important,
they make up
the textures of our lives.
They are definitely divinely
placed in our lives for a purpose
and that's why when they are gone,
we can't be able to forget about them,
the heart still remembers.
They are the unforgettable.
No matter however you want
to not remember them,
they are unshakable from your heart.
It seemed as if they
hang on to each heart beat
to remind you of how much you
don't know and understand about living
as well as you thought you know.
Find a new way to live
and love the unlovable.
Are we not still learning how to love,
live and care for each other.
But is there really an unlovable person,
or are you the one who really needs
to soften your heart.
Live your life amongst others
so beautifully that you will become the unforgettable.

BEYOND COMPREHENSION
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
Beyond the far side
over the hills
and the mountains,
across the river bank
and the ocean,
within the cool breeze
of the sea,
at the heart of
all seasons of
ages long gone
and the one to come,
the firmament holds
the secrets of
creation and the ancients
because it has
seen it all.
The sun and
the moon,
the stars of the
galaxy are the
true witnesses to
how man evolved
to become what
they are now.
But their infinite
loveliness are beyond
comprehension.
All the deep
dark secrets absorbed
are hidden and
pulsates within
their heart beat
Unimaginable and
intriguing are the
fabrics woven
interchangeably to
form whatever it is
that made up
the intricate complex
and textures of our lives.
Amazing and glorious
are the beauty
of their breathtaking
presence.
Delicately and beautifully,
yet without threats
they protectively
wrapped us in
their infinite loveliness.

UNACCEPTABLE OCCURRANCES
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2018
What is the truth.
Why is the truth naked
and lie all dressed up.
Most times I'm
so confused and
don't know anymore.
Is this abominable acts
******* of truths
or are we mentally
poisoned or is all this a
grand deception to
fool the naive.
Is not what we term
abomination a state of
the mind at a particular time
or a different perception of
a thing or group of things
done by someone or people.
There's so much
transformation witnessed all
around the world from
the ancient ancestral land
to this modern century.
Most things that are left out
are now classified and ruled
by their judgement as
an abomination.
Whatever may be an
abomination in some
nations are welcomed in
others as normal.
I am a nonconformist
and was labeled as a rebel.
Most things that I'm
endowed with naturally,
some may frown at and
seen as unacceptable.
Some people at some point
in their life time has visited
or will visit another nation
to behold what seems
unacceptable and can get
one ostracized or even killed
but it's an everyday
acceptable occurrences.
What is acceptable for you
may be unacceptable
to me or another.
Tolerance, temperance
and fortitude must be
our watchword.

LASTING FRIENDSHIP
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2018
Our long standing family
friendship has been the
most beautiful thing ever.
It added to our beautiful
personal relationship the grace
of extraordinary fraternal love.
We are friends,
childhood friends,
grown up together in the hood.
Stuck with each other
from the beginning,
as if we were blood related.
Brothers from another mother.
Best of friends we are,
shared our lives together with love.
Inseparable is what we are,
united as one at heart,
invincible and unshakable,
we weathered the storm,
we won the race,
unconquerable in our endeavors.
Together forever we sworn
to look out for each other,
watch and have each others back.
See how far we have come,
what we have become is amazing.
Transformed from nothing to something.
Working tirelessly for the glory of God
and the benefits of mankind is worth it.
Amazing grace it is.
This is how the Almighty wanted it.
We give thanks for the victory achieved.

LET ME HELP
Emeka Mokeme Dec 2018
Never mind about
whatever you have
heard,seen or
experienced in
the past because
i'm still going
to be here
waiting just for you.
All are deceptions
of optical
illusion within
your illusions.
You can never
see it occur
or actualized in
reality except
in your mind,
and all that
is important is
only felt in
your heart and
seen in your mind.
What if you
tell someone the
most important
thing in your
life and they
will never
believe you.
I understand that
you are not
yet in the
mood to confront
yourself.
Everything you have
got and done
you lose.
You are still
going to lose
even if you
didn't do anything,
you still lose.
It will keep
coming back to
you until you
get it done  
Communicate
sincerely with your
inner self to
let your spirit
emanate from the
darkness that
engulfed your being.
They are meddling
with your heart.
You know you
have a chance
to find your past.
You were dead
and was given
a new body,
recreated and
formed and
fashioned in a
new way.
Now you have
a soul that
can reason
and think rationally.
Everything they
told you was
a lie.
Listen they stole
your life.
But I'm going
to help you
end up somewhere
except the morgue,
if you are
willing to let
me help you.

THE DAMNED
Emeka Mokeme Apr 2019
There goes the
terrible and
wicked ones.
Everything about
them is toxic.
Their words are
like needles and
pins piercing
the heart.
It is like
the deadly sharp
poisoned sword
of the assassin.
Like the betrayal
of a brother
so well loved.
It's like a
sour wine filled
with the venom
of the rattle snake.
It is worrisome
to be close
to them in
the dark for
they cannot be
fully trusted.
A danger and
a menace even
to the sucklings.
They don't care
who they trampled
on to climb
up the ladder.
Knowing them is
like the pain
of a broken rib.
Worse than a
man running from
the lion to
rest on a
tree and still
be biting by
a  snake.
Mere hearing of
their name makes
the heart sick.
The faint hearted
pukes as they
perceived their body
odour even from
a distance.
Terrible things happens
to the ones
who don't step
out of their way.
Terrorising the
territory and people
is their way
of life.
Afflicting pain on
others brings
joy to them.
Boiled and barbecued
roasted human flesh
is their delicacies.
Human blood is
their wine.
Misery got company
is their true
identity,
the name of
the demon is
their surname.
Danger is stamped
on their foreheads.
With fire in
their eyes,
they devour the
innocent.
Wickedness is
wrought and wrapped
up in them.
The universe has
rejected and spew
them out.
Even the hades
and hell will
not accept or
accommodate them.
They are the ******.

For just this
moment,
breathe.
So the little
me can rest,
from all these
unnecessary
struggles,
bring me out
to a place
of solace,
out of this
smouldering
down world
but place me
in a better
corner where
at least
for this moment
i can just breathe
a fresh air,
for this
place is suffocating.
Death and  
stagnation is here
and are
a menace to
everything and

It's presence
is devastating.
But for now
let me lay
down on this bed
of a thousand roses.
And savour the
freshness of this moment.

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.

CHERISHED
Emeka Mokeme Jun 2019
Beautiful evening,
with a beautiful
full moon.
We watched as
the shooting star
flew by.
Star filled sky,
at this lonely night,
we hold hands
going forward together.
Nature itself bears
witness to our love.
The night creatures
sing their songs
close by,
as the moon
dimly lights
the way for us.
What a moment,
so beautiful
and magical,
adorned with smiles
and laughter.
Fireflies everywhere
as if to guide us
to the garden.
Beautiful flowers
welcomed us
with their fragrance.
With the stroke of
quiet radiant evening,
a new beginning
just began.
Today is cherished
and unforgettable.

SICK AND TIRED
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2018
Now that we are here,
what can we do to reclaim
our lives and sanity back.
Our psych has been so messed up
lately and it's been a drag on the
mental state of everyone.
People are sick and tired of being
sick and tired of all this happening.
Hopelessness and helplessness
is deeply engraved in the
heart of the people.
They seem to grapple in the day as if
it's really dark.
Hungry when there is so much to eat,
living daily from hand to mouth.
Worked so hard with little to show for it.
Men have abdicated their throne in the family,
rights and efforts abandoned,
neglecting everything important to survive.
Children are left on their own without support
and supervision by their parents or wards,
abused and molested for a crumb of bread,
young girls ***** and impregnated by the very ones that supposed to protect them.
Is this a curse or a jinx by the god's?
Atrocities have become the norm of the day.
Everyone on there own.
Survival of the fittest is the daily practice.
Abomination of the desolate is really here.
Upside down is everything turning into,
and we all will eventually fall down.
Things I'm afraid is falling apart and I'm fully convinced that we are heading to our doom.

TODAY I STOP
Emeka Mokeme Feb 2018
She never really cared
but I was on fire for her.
Today I Stop setting myself
on fire for people who will sit back
and watch me burn.
Cruelty is wrought on her.
Pretending to be religious,
but wolf in sheep skin.
Tells the tale of all
the rich men she knows,
said she's not after material things,
Self-righteousness she carries about.
Known to all the men
of riches and influence.
None she settled down with.
Always giving excuses on
why she can't be with anyone.
She demands to be helped
on her own terms,
without sacrificing anything.
Life has a lot of lessons to teach,
she didn't learn anything
from the experience of living.
Life is about give and take.
What you sow, you reap.

AND AT LAST
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2019
There is still
hope for the
heart that trembles
because of helplessness.

There is no
amount of darkness
experienced that light
cannot defeat.

No matter how dark
the night becomes,
a flicker of light
sends it away.

There is no
crooked place
however deep that
water cannot penetrate.

Every tempest
however dreadful is
just for a moment.

There comes
a time in
our lives that
even the heart
gets tired in
fighting the enemy.

There is nothing
in this world
worthy of do
or die affair.

Every accomplishment
wears out and
the heart seeks
for another.

All the things
you hold dear
or think that matters
is just a figment
of your own imagination,
they all fizzle
out in time.

And at last,
you will find out
that the most
important thing
in your life
is relationships.

Those relationship you
never wanted
will be the same
corner stone of
your story that
makes up the
textures of your life.

OF HOPE
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
The stars joyfully
accompanied
the moon to
mystify the starry
night sky,
waiting for the
sun to rise
at dawn to
greet the morning.
Bringing the
new dawn to fruition
with better days ahead.
Tomorrow beams
with beautiful
hues of divine light
and love.
The flowers blooms,
attracting the bees
for pollination,
with the message
of hope and
fresh breathe.
The children playing
and singing in
the rain again,
voices and laughter
heard in the garden.
And for the
first time in a
long time,
peace and happiness
returned with gladness.

DOOR KICKER
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2020
DÓOR KICKER
A door kicker
takes no *******,
he takes bullets
to save and
to protect those
he loves.
In this dangerous land
filled with chaos,
he must become
a nightmare to
the wicked ones.
He must be
careful but
now it's time
to be careful
not to be careful
for the sake of
what he must do.
His instinct as
sharp as a razor
to cut deeper behind
the enemies territory.
His blood he must
shed with gladness.
He bled to
secure the land
for the sake
of our posterity.
Our extinction hurts
and haunt him.
Like a wounded lion
in search of
its absonded prey,
he hunts down
the terrorist and
oppressors messing
with his people.
Putting pride and
ego aside,
he fought without
surrender and no retreat.
Willing to lay down
his life with
absolutely nothing to gain.
His altruistic ways
baffles and perplexed me.
In such a one
my faith grows.

BUDDING ROSE
Emeka Mokeme Feb 2019
Don't be lost
in another persons
dream of you.
The only person
i ever lost
and needed back
was myself.
I am lost
but now i
found me again.
I've been
wandering around
myself for a
while and thought
it was a
tree until i
looked up and
saw my face
and my eyes,
never really
realized i am
actually here
within myself.
I'm never really
lost but only
disappeared from
myself a moment.
Am i ever
so glad
to be right here.
Discovery of self
is an amazing
thing in itself,
it's like a
budding rose flower
unfolding daily
in the sunlight,
sharing its fragrance
subtly in the wind
to the end
of nowhere.
It is loves
unfolding dream
that comes in
the hours of
our aloneness to
light up our lives.
It purifies and
lifts the soul
higher to embrace
the bliss that
unfolds quietly
in our being.
In stillness
we absorb and
abandon ourselves
to it's splendor.

MY DESIRE
Emeka Mokeme May 2018
My desire is to know you.
All I ever want is you.
Draw me to the father
Holy Spirit divine.
Let your Word be made
alive in me.
Cause my heart to be
obedient to your spirit,
that my joy may be full.
I yield myself to you.
Have your way with me.
Let me be worthy
to carry your presence
to impact and affect the world,
that they may know
your existence and love.
Let your power glory pervade
the universe to cause
all your creations to bow
to your supremacy as king
of our castle.
Let your love already shed
in our hearts touch the hardness
and wickedness of man,
change lives and bring succour
to our ways of living.
Let it manifest to the darkness
in our lives to illuminate our paths.
Bring your peace to your people
and cause them to remember
and know that you are God.
This is my desire.

Woven around the diamond,

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.

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.

STUPIDIOTIC THINGS
Emeka Mokeme Apr 2019
Get up and
step out of
the mud in
a hole without
ever dyeing.
Licking the soup
and dining with
the ***** devil,
not that sinner
the demon is
like fire in
a hole.
Your demise
means nothing
when you
die unworthily.  
You have no
place among
the dead.
The prisoner in
******* in a
hole needs to
get out before
the fire starts
burning in the hole.
When deafness
is not among
your many failings.
It's not your
fault and not
your problem
for you can't
change anything
but to allow
the natural cycle
to run its course.
Earthquakes and
cyclones even tempests
are all temporary
but with a
devastating impact.
Everything is like that.
We shed what
is not necessary
and needed and
reshuffle our existence
through wars
where people die
yet allowing others
to still live.
It's just like that.
Take it.
Most of the
stupidiotic things
we have said
and done
are unnecessary.

THIS BEAUTIFUL NIGHT
Emeka Mokeme Nov 2018
The happiest thing
in the world
is to have
you in my life.
Life favored me
with you and
i'm so grateful.
You are joy,
the golden ***
at the end
of the rainbow,
the sun in
my world.
You are that
*** of gold
worthy to be
guarded with might.
You are the
bubble of laughter
in the heart of
a beautiful soul,
a smile on
the mouth of
a babe.
That warm hug
in the midst
of a cold night.
You are like
a soothing word,
that comforts a
sad hurting soul.
The troubled heart
smiled again
because of you.
A beautiful music,
a symphony orchestra,
that flows out
of a joyful heart.
You are healing
from heaven with
a heart full of love.
I thank the Almighty
for a day of
bliss such as this.
The Angels  
gather for joy
on this beautiful night.
A day as today
will be remembered
through out eternity.
As long as
you are here
everything is alright.
For the light
in your eyes
and the sun
in your smile,
i celebrate you.

IRRESISTIBLE IN YOU
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2019
Erase my name
and my face
from your mind.
Did you see
how impressively
impossible it is
to discard my
presence.
I am like
a diadem on
your forehead,
the little pesky
irresistible
unnecessary irritant.
I am that
secret annoying part
of you that
won't go away.
Don't you know
i am the jewel
of your heart,
meant to be loved,
admitted and nurtured
by your thoughts.
Treat me right,
I beg of you,
i am the verse
in you.
Nature made it
that way.
Even your own heart
will rebel against you
and form forces
to repel your
opposing views.
Reconcile with yourself,
and remedy the
situation instead of
opposing yourself.
What is it
that makes you
think i am your
problem.
I am not
your unfriendly friend
but a brother
who seem to
seek for something
his heart desires
with no offense.
Refusal to  grant
required requests
made it seem so.
Out of unknowing,
selfishness and
misunderstanding
breeds enmities
and it's cousin
corruption.
Then foolishness will
lead suffering to
visit your abode.
Both with other vices
will be your
companion and
destruction.
Don't struggle but,
yield to conscience,
and free yourself
from the entanglement
of this horrible monster.
It's terrible venom
is a nightmare that
could see to your
quick demise.
Reconsider your stance,
because you can't get
rid of me.

MY HEART REMEMBERED
Emeka Mokeme Oct 2020
MY HEART REMEMBERED
At this dark
cold lonely night
when the moon
is still,
quiet and waxing stronger.
Shall my heart
be calm and restful
in this fearful cave,
as the night owl
sits over the
tree top hooting.
The cooing of
the turtle dove
heard from the old
abandoned hut inhabited
by wild animals hidden
in woods across
the lonely yard.
With the solitude
of this dark
lonely heath space,
my heart remembered
the beautiful
glad tidings and
the comfy warm glow
of the fire burning
in the hearth.
The profound stillness
of this deafening
quiet moment at
this cold lonely
snowy night is
indeed frightening.
My peace stolen
by the cold night.
The eyes heavy
by the burden of sleep
but sleep is
quite farfetched.
Sleep alludes the eyes
as the howling of
the wolves disturbed
my peaceful night rest.
Shall i run into the heath
to evade the beast
or shall i hide
within the rocks
to warm myself.
The horrible fear
will still find me.
But what shall i do
to hide from the cold,
the starry night and
the beast still waiting
to consume me
at this dark lonely
cold night at
the middle of nowhere
in this dark snowy mountain.

LETTING GO
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2018
The heart shivers and
cries within for the
unnecessary hold of
the one loved before.
The heart unresolved
by reason of the past.
Feelings from way back long
before surge into the heart.
The soul still has not fully
recovered from the hurts of
the one loved long before.
Still reminiscing about
what happened to us.
Can I ever even be alright.
I still wear the garment
of the past,
it's still tight on my skin,
seems as if i won't let go
from the grip that easily.
I gave a piece of my heart away.
That is the price I must pay
for loving too much.
But to let go I must,
if I must get on with my life
with dignity and respect.
Happiness awaits me,
for the heart must have another.
I know I must forgive to set myself
and another free from this self prison.
But forgiveness does not mean
that I want you back.
What does it even mean
if I must ask,
it simply means I have to
let you go for my own peace of mind.
I must go away because,
another phase of life begins,
for another one who loves me is waiting.

A TOUCH OF LOVE

Like the one
submerged in the
cool river after
a long day
to cool off
and calm down,
so is the
harassed heart
soaked in bliss
after a quiet
time and aloneness
with the divine.
Refreshment of the
whole being relieves
the harsh burden
of the heart.
It regenerates the
soul in need
of solace.
Nothing can bring
succor to comfort
a heart in
distress than a
touch of love.
A heart filled
with joyful tenderness
can heal the
sorest wound,
and illuminate the
darkest places.
Even the underwater
cave rejoices in
it's tiniest flicker
of flame.

I know that
love is a
beautiful thing
and it's catching
up on me.
I really miss
the feeling of
the heart in love.
And I felt
the flame of love
from the deepest
part of my soul.
My heart beats
so fast with
the systematic rhythm
of the symphony
of the spirit.
The rhapsody of
which engulfed
my soul powerfully
touched my heart
so beautifully and
left me speechless.
This is all
my soul wants
and it is enough
because it is everything.
Can anything be
as sweet and
lovely as a
cool hearty smile
of a loved one,
on a sunny afternoon.
You just have
to see with me
that a man
with a beard
looks like a king
and love is
all it takes to
have him by
your side.
Make it right
and enjoy yourself
in his kingdom.

DARKNESS RECEDED
Emeka Mokeme Sep 2019
And the light
entered through the
heart to affect the
known and unknown.

There the rivers
flows through its
tributaries to give
life and light
to heal the body.

Though the heart
is hidden in
darkness away from
the light.

But it is
full of light
and eternal divine love
to cast the
darkness away.

The beauty of it's flame,
full of warmth
and loveliness  
can melt the iceberg.

The darkness,
dispelled and quietly
receded yielding even
to the tiniest light.

Infiltrated and penetrated
through the cracks
into the heart
to vitalize
and give vigor
to the soul.  

The darkness,
can never struggle
with the light,
for there is no
power in darkness

And no power
of victory to
conquer you.
For there is always
a way of escape.

LOVE IS BEAUTIFUL
Emeka Mokeme Jul 2018
Love has many faces,
with shades and types
and can be displayed
in many different ways,
with their degrees and forms.
Love for God.
Love for friends.
Love for pets.
Love for people in different
groups you belong.
Love for gardening.
Love for your kids.
Love for your siblings.
Love for your husband.
Love for your wife.
Love for your boyfriend.
Love for your girlfriend.
Love for Mom.
Love for Daddy.
Love for grandparents.
Love for dancing.
Love for singing.
Love for other personal
things you like to do.
Don't ruin the day by
running away when you
are loved so much.
Take it, enjoy it, hold it
with both hands,
for you may never have
the opportunity to be loved
like this ever again.
To love is good.
To love someone is beautiful.
To be loved is awesome
Even in marriage,
your heart can never completely
belong to your spouse,
God did not make it so,
it must be given out,
and shared,
first to God,
to family, in-laws, friends,
and everyone,
it's called agape.
God kind of love.  
God actually is Love.
Don't be afraid to open
your heart and love again
even when your heart is broken.
Hearts are meant to be broken,
something beautiful
happens in breaking it,
you become perfect in loving.
And I say to you today,
that I love you so very much,
that you love me so much,
that you have to start loving me,
as God loved you.

ILLUSION OF TIME
Emeka Mokeme Apr 2019
This flitting time,
does it actually
really exist
at all as
we know it.
Time is an illusion.
It keeps moving,
without waiting for
anyone.
It is a
respecter of none.
This time used
it's power of
cunning craftiness
and deceived me
because i couldn't
cope with it's
illusory speed,
no one could.
I feel so defeated.
I can't catch up
with this illusion
of time magic.  
The past,present
and the future,
all exists at once
now at this moment.
Depending on
where you are
in your
consciousness.
You can be
anywhere in a
twinkle of a
moment with your
eyes closed.
Traveling to other
places takes you
to other different
time zones,
ahead of you
or still behind.
That place which
you have have been,
now is already
in the past.
Whatever plans you
conceive in your
mind or think
to do now is
in your future.
The things already
done are in
your past and
these can also
be remembered or
momentarily forgotten.
There is only
one absolute present.
The illusion of time
are crafted by
our memories.
This time travels
moves me as
fast as light.
But i live in
the present moment.
